When Dr. Lung went to the President
stateroom shortly before O'CLOCK ne
found his patient in rare good hutnor ana
excellent physical condition, barring the
wound on his leg. The slight fever which
the President had yesterday evening had
disappeared and his temperature was
normal In fact. he felt so we'll that
he told the doctor that he would like
to get up and go into the parlor OF MS
car. DR.. Lung strongly protested against
this. telling the President that it was
necessary for him to remain quiet and
the President good naturally gave in.
The pain in his leg had practically dis
appeared and the conditions were SO
favorable that ,ne doctor did not think
it necessary to redress the limb. DR..
Lung does not look for a recurrence of
the swelling. although this would cause
no alarm, as it would be nothing un
usual. sst5a
During the fprenoon's run. on de-
scrihing his cond} ton. tho President said
that he could ftel that something had
happened when he thought about it, and
that was all. After eating q hearty
breakfast the President called for a
book, remarking that as he was an in
valid he proposed to enjoy himself. He
was propped up in bed with his left
leg on pillow. and spent the most of
the day in reading.
The running time of the train was
slow In order to reduce the jar and
as few stops as possible We're made.
Wherever the train stopped. crowds
gathered about the Presidents car. but
there was no cheering. All the people
seemed anxious to secure the latest in
formation regarding the Presidents con-
dition.
