 The Presidents condition conSan"es favorable. Blood counts corrooora'e clinical evidence of absence oh any blood poisoning. He is able to 'ake more nourishment and relish 1t. Fuse nao; temperature 1oo,4.
 R,ra,o Sept. 1.-The condition or 'he President continued unchangeu thfo"e mt the day, and nothing occurreu .hake the faith the attending pnysicians and surgeons have expressed that ne VIII recover. The danger from two so"Ioe were pronounced practically over tooaS; The holes in the stomach proper ca"'eN ev the perforation of the bullet, IS now considered healed by pr. McBarney a"" his assistants, and the eminent surgeon pointed to the fact that the peer Juico fed to the patient last night was reauiis digested, as proof of this. Sufhcient tinhe has also elapsed to warrant the ooctois in asserting that the danger or 1n'ani- nation where the bullet lodged has ols- anpeared. It is believed that the ball h1s now been encysted in the muscles or lne hack and unless its location should prove troublesome later on, there will never oe any necessity for removing it.

 The attention of the physicians is now' therefore. mainly directed to the care anu treatment of the wound caused by the ln- cision made into the abdomen apoVe 'he navel. where the operation was per formcd This wound is progressing sat isfactoriIy.
 Benefit Followed Dressing.
 ..Decided benefit followed the dressing of the wound last night, is the way the doctors put it> officially. .d
 Another milestone passed on the roao 4o recovery was the discontnuance 'o 1av hv the doctors of the figures snow ing respiration variations in tneir oihcial @ bulletins. as the President now preathes deeply and normally.
 The President continues in excellent spirits. but he confessed to one or the attonaants today that he was getting Ioreaome. He requested that he be plac- ed in another bed. A depression nao formed in the mattress on which ne mas lain since he was taken to the MlApurh house and had caused some dlscomlorI Anotber he'd was provided and this even ing he was carefully moved lie mas osked several times if there was any news which he should know out lnaui- ries especially about public matters are A,scouraRed, and the riglo lhhioi'ioll against the admission of any one except his wife and faithful secretary mas not baen relaxed.

 bars talEad over pending public questions for over an hour today at the clennv house, adjoining the Milburn res ,donce hut if is understood that no ac- tion resuIted. The South African situa- tion was gone over and there was an exchange of opinion regarding the legal nhase of the case against the would-be assassin. It can be stated again in the most nositiye manner that there is no conflict of authority between the State and Federal authorities for the posses sion of the prisoner. The members of the cabinet are unanimously of the opin- ion that Czolgozs's offense is against the s+ote of New York and Erie County, and that there is no Federal statute to GOV CT the case.
 Gratifying Report
 At the conclusion of the night con- ference the doctors gave another ex- tremely gratifying report of their patients progress. Dr. Mynter said:
 Good news. Good news. nothing but good news. We have washed and fed the President and moved him to another bed.''
 'Is he still improving?"
 "He is. and to prove it. I desire to say that a count of his blood shows that 1t is in a normal condition and feel that l can announce denfiitely that there is not the least indication of blood poison ing"
 Dr. Wasdin explained that a count of the blood was a microscopic examination of the relative number of white and red corpuscles in the blood to determine whether inflammation of any sort exist ed An increase of white corpuscles rela- lively speaking would show inflammation and deterioration of the blood that might indicate peritonitis.
 pr. Wasdin added The result is that we feel safe in announcing that not a trace of blood poisoning. peritonlts or inflammation exists. The test could not have been more satisfactory"
 tIs the President out of dangar?"
 No, l would not say that; he is a very sick man, but his condition under the circumstances could not be better. That much l will say emphatically.'
 Dr. McBurney laid particular stress on the fact that the President is able to take a great deal of nourishment, which was an important factor in the treatment of his case. It was this one thing needed to strengthen and build him up after the ordeal which has so weakened him. He is now taking about an ounce of beef juice every hour and so far the stomach has not rejected any of 1t. The doctor apparently felt very much elated over the progress the President Is making toward recovery and in response to an inquiry
