WASHINGTON , D , 0. , July 20.
As indicated in this morning's bul
letin the last hours of the night were
not so comfortable for the president
until the midnight fever gradually
subsided. The indications then were
that ho would remain comfortable.
Soon , however , was noticed n quick
ening of the pulso. Dr. Woodward ,
who was at his side , found that the
fever was increasing. Dr. Bliss was
aroused and the two physicians
watched the patient , There appeared
to bo slight symptomsof a "rigor. " But
for a moment , however. No chill
followed. The fever continued until
3 o'clock this morning and then again
subsided. Again when the doctors
came for the morning examination
they found ho had relished
the usual nourishment and
his condition was apparently as good
ns yesterday morning nt the same
hour. Dr. Agnew was present wfyon
the examination was made. It is said
the pus is still flowing satisfactory ,
but nothing can yet bo learned this
morning ns to how much its character
is improved.
THE CONSULTATION OF PHYSICIANS
in regard to the high fever of the
president this morning resulted in the
discovery that some operation must
bojorforinpd to remove some cause
of irritation. Dr. Agnew said the
discharge of pus waj not as satisfac
tory , and the wound appeared clogged.
The president was informed that
another operation was necessary. Ho
madeno objection. Dr. Agnew then
thought it wtts unnecessary to
administer an emetic , but
went to work at once. This
was between 8 nnd 9 o'clock. He ex
amined the incision made on Sunday
and putting in his finger to the depth
of abont three inches , found that the
4 shattered pieces of rib discovered Sun
day had formed ( an obstruction. Ho
removed ono piece about nn inch long
nnd several smaller pieces. This opera
tion was far more painful than the ono
performed Sunday , but the
I president bore it bravely and
, was greatly relieved by it.
The old tube was not returned , but anew
now one was inserted through the
now incision to the depth of nearly
four inches , whore it intersects the
old portion of the wound channel.
Thus the other end of the wound will
bo allowed to close up and heal as it
will , while the full discharge of pus
will bo conducted through the in
cision. Now dressings were applied
and the foyer at once subsided. The
president is now as comfortablens ,
could bo expcctcdUindorftho circum
stances. Ho was 'greatly weakened
by the operation , but Dr. Apnow says
not dangerously.
MR. CRUMr ,
who wns with him nt the time , says
that the President grow palp , but
there was nothing else about his face
to show that an operation was being
performed. Dr. Agnew is quite sure
the fever was caused by the irritation
of the shattered f ragmen tf-oj the rib.
w Since the removal pus flowed freely.
Ho is not certain that another cavity
lias boon formed ; docs not think it
likely. This afternoon the wound will
bo dressed again and if the conditions
remain favorable the physicians will
conclude that they have struck < the
true source of all the latest mischief.
A KUOHT IIU'ROYUMENT.
The president's pulse and tempera
ture are subsiding. He has slept well
since the operation , and Dr. Agnew
says the conditions are favorable.
MORE THAN AN EQUAL CHANCi : .
NEW YORK , July 20. Dr. Hamil
ton expresses the belief that the presi-
dont.already had nyamu. Dr. Frank
Hamilton airived from Washington
this morning. Ho thinks the presi
dent's chance for recovery moro than
equal.
WHAT DR. AONEW SAYS.
Dr. Agnew was asked just before
noon how many splinters of rib were
taken from the wound this morning.
"A dozen or fifteen , " was the reply.
"You felt them with your finger ? "
"Yes , nnd pushed the battered rib
back in its place. "
\ "Do you consider the president's
condition favorable ? "
"Yes , decidedly favorable. He has
slept nicely since the operation nnd is
doing well. "
It seems that the President fell
asleep very soon after the wound had
been re-dressed this ( morning. Ho
slojit easily and at ono time 'did not
awake for half an hour. He lias
taken considerable nourishment this
forenoon. By noon his pulse was be
low 100 , and tompornturo norinnl. Dr.
Hamilton has not been sent for nnd
it is not known when ho will return.
Dr. Agnew will conduct iho rest of
the examination to-day.

WASHINGTON , July 26. 8:30 : a. m.
The following official bulletin has
just been issued : The president
was somewhat restless during the
night and the favor , which had sub
sided after our .last bulletin , rose

July 20 10 a. m. No change in
the president's condition since 8:30 a.
m. The doctors are 'watching' every
symptom to determine , if possible ,
the cause of the intormlttontcnaractor
of the fovcr. The doctors do not
seem to bo quite clear as'to why the
fever is now intermittent , lioforo
the relapse it came up and subsided
as regularly as clock work. Dr. Agnew
now will watch the president closely.
To-day the cabinet oflicers called as
usual this morning and have now re
turned to their offices in the depart
ments.
July 20 11 a. m. Dr. Agnew has
taken from the president's wound a
picco of shattered rib an inch in
length and other small particles. The
president bore up under the operation
bravely. Ho is now doing better.
July 20 1 p. m. The midday ex
amination has given no cause for
alarm. The fever has abated and
there has been no chill. The physi
cians are very reticent.
'
2:15 : r , M.
The president's pulse is below 100 ,
temperature nnd respiration normal.
No reliable information ns to the
other conditions can bo obtained
beyond that , Dr. Bliss just told his
son that at this hour they were moro
encouraged than at any previous timo.
Dr. Agnew said it seemed to bo of lit
tle use to give anything to the press ,
for what was sent away did not reach
its destination in safety.
Reports have boon received hero
that bulletins have boon posted in
New York City to the effect that a
piece an inch long had been sawed
from the rib that the bul
let had been extracted , and
a third that the president was
dying. The fact is that a number of
the shattered pieces of the rib have
*
been extracted from thp-'iWu' ' ttJ nd
that the president' is still very weak
from the operation , but that ho is in
no immediate danger.
July 20. 6 p. m. The
president has rested t somewhat
during the afternoon and is so com
fortable that Mrs. Gaafiold has gone
ruling with Miss Mollie and Miss
Sheldon to got air. '

N , July 26. The presi

greatly worried or exceedingly an
noyed. They have adopted n policy
of strict reticence. Dr. Royburn was

was.
was."Doing well , " was the reply.
"Is an operation to bo niado for
the purpose of finding the ball ? "
"f ' "
can't toll.
"But people think so , nnd are wild
to know the truth ? "
"Wo toll' the truth in the bulletins.
Hereafter wo ahull endeavor to inako
them explicit and give no other in
formation. "
"Then the physicians have not
decided that the ball must bo cut
out in order to save the president's
life ? " ,
"I can say nothing about it. "
'Et-Surgeon ' General Barnes was meta
a few , minutes later but refused to
speak at all on the subject. This ret
icence lias helped to gain ground for
the impression already existing that
tlio condition of the president is any
thing but encouraging. It is also re
ported that Dr. Agnew has a4 vised the
physicians to furnish to the public
none but officjaMnf TOatjanjjpnceaj-
ing the case. "
Prof. Bell , who is usually at tlio
White house much of the time , was
not there this afternoon. In
yiow of all the circumstances
it is not improbable that nn effort may
bo made to locate the ball' ' by the ' use
of the proiossor's induction balance.
There is , however , no information of
ouch intention , and th'onfis no blti'cml
authority for the > statenient in circula
tion that nn effort will bo made to re
move the ball us soon as it is success
fully located. ' * ' * .

WILD HUMORS.
It is the general opinion that the
president's physicians made a
mistake in not announcing
in tlio morning bulletin the
facts in connection with the removal
of the rib splinters from the wound.
The bulletin said nothing about the
matter , but it soon became known that
something of that nature had occurred
and in a few moments n thousand ru
mors were afloat. Ono was that
an insertion had boon made for
the purpose of extracting the
ball. Another that it had been found
necessary to cut off a picca of the
president's rib , and also that the
president was rapidly sinking from
the effects of the operation. Those
rumors flow around like wild-lire , and
the excitement of the people was at
fever heat. To add to it some noticed
that the flag on the department of
justice was at half-mast. This
was on account of the death of
Justice Clifford , but it wits soon
noised about that the president was
dead. Extra editions of the city
papers quieted the f uroro before it became -
came a panic. The excitement became -
came an anxiety on account of tl o
grave condition of thopresident. That
ho has been greatly weakened by the
events of the last
few days no one un
dertakes to deny and it is equally cer
tain that the
physicians are anxious
and are not yet sure that the danger
is passed. THO wilp rumors
reached their cars and were at oncu
attributed to the press. Hence , the
press were denied the usual frank
statements of the physicians for the
time being , nnd it was not easy to got
authentic news during the afternoon.
Tlio rush at the White House outside
of correspondents was not groat. The
cabinet oflicers paid no attention to
the rumors , probably being privately
informed of the facts.
HU.S. OARMKLII
Mrs. Garfield saw the president's
friend Treasurer Gillfillan at 1 p. m.
and said she understood the president
was bolter sincomprningj thatsho felt
yory hopeful notwithstanding all state-
menU It will bo recognized that
they nro moro guarded than formerly ,
Pus certainly docs not flow as free us
Dr. Agnew would like to have it. The
pieces of shattered rib undoubtedly
clogged it. There were extracted ,
one piece an inch long
and several small particles
without enlarging the Incision ,
ns nt first reported , by _ moans of a
surgeons finger nnd ft pair of dolicnto
forceps. The patient was evidently
relieved thereby and after the rib was
straightened as it should bo , the flow
of pus improved. If Dr. Agnew con-
tinucs to bo dissatisfied with the dis
charge , there is no tolling what ho
will do. The report that the ball
must bo removed at all hnr.irds i
without foundation.

Blaine had at 1 p. m. was sent to

raised the hope of desponding ones ,
and the crowd soon' scattered. The

tin was also reassuring. Thoi length

DR. HAMILTON.
HIH OI'INION Of THK CASU.
NEW YORK , July 20. Dr. Frank
II. Hamilton arrived in this city from
Washington this morning and in an
ntorviow with a reporter of the Na-
ional Associated Press said abscesses
were not likely to occur again because
this one has occurred. Tlio chances
nro moro tlmn equal that
similar pouches will not bo
formed. This one had n special cause
in nn irregular projection of the frac
tured rib. The presumption seems to
be , frpmccrtnin indications , that ( lie
ball lies in the right iliac fos > a. It is
doubtful whether it entered peril-
oucun. I don't think it entered the
liver. Chills do not indicate pycmia.
A chill , if caused by ir
ritation consequent upon n
presence of confined matter
It is n sort of nn nlarm which nature
sounds , nnd if not attended to nature
will evacuate the pus in most , cnsos
without artificial aid. I believe that if
nothing had been done in the presi
dent's case the sack of pus would
have burst within forty-eight
hours , but wo helped naUiro
along. Chills occur whenever
pus gathers , and ceases when
it is allowed to flow again. There
fore , the chill in the president's case
should not cause the whole country
serious alarm. When I loft General
Garfield last night everything was
getting along nicely. Ho did not
leak nt all like n plmoma patient nnd
was able to use his limbs freely nnd
shnko hands with n hearty grip. The
fear ot paralysis is groundless.
VICE-PRESIDENT ARTHUR-
National Aiuocmted PrcM.
NEW YOHK , July 20. The report
in the city to-night that the condition
of the president was critical and that
Vico-Prcsidont Arthur had been sum
moned to Washington , the agent of the
National Associated Press called upon
Vice-President Arthur. Ho said the
report was false. Gen. Arthur has
all along believed that the president
would pull through and still believes
ho will rncovor. He is constantly in
telegraphic communication with Sec
retary Blaine and other members of
the cabinet , ns well ns with the presi
dent's ' private secretary nnd other
members of Mrs. Gnrfibld's house
hold , and is kept minutely informed
of every feature of the president's
condition.
That the suspicion is not altogether
well grounded is shown by the fact
that some tolcgrnns sent Arthur are
almost the same as those given to the
public ,
The president's private secretary at
8:30 : this morning sent Arthur the
following :
EXECUTIVE MANSION , July 20. To
Vice President Arthur , Now York :
The president was somewhat restless
during the night. The fever , which
subsided after our last bulletin , rose
again about midnightTand continued
until 3 n. in. , after which it again sub
sided. Ho is now about as well as
yesterday at the same hour. Pulse

No doubt news scntftho vico-prcsi-
dent concerning the president's condi
tion in wholly accurate nnd tlio
nbovo tolcgmms show that the public
hayo boon getting exactly the
sumo information. General Arthur's
friends ndmit that they now believe
that the surgeons should at first have
located and removed the ball , while
at the Bamo time the } ' say Hamilton
and Agnew are fully competent to de
termine what is bent.
