AN CIlSTllUCTION' NEAR THK MOUTH OF
THK WOUND.
WASHINGTON , August 20' The ac
cidental discovery of an obstruction
in the track of the ball near the
mouth of the wound is regarded by
unofficial physicians as nn evidence of
great neglect. The official surgeons
have frequently announced that the
wound waa healing nicely to within
three or four inches of thu mouth of
the wound. It now nppears that
eight inches beyond it has been
Biipperating all the time nnd the
light flow of pus was duo to the
obstruction just discovered , and to
the fact that considerable waa nb
sorbcd. This accounts for the inflam
mation on the neck , and satisfies at
least the unufticial experts that the
president is and has been suiTeiing
from blood poisoning for n week ; that
the eight inches of suppcrating surface -
face has not been cleansed at all , nnd
the result will probably bo serious
complications yet to arise. The of-
liciat surgeons , however , profess to
think the president is doing well , and
take a more conservative view of the
case than many of their professional
brethren.

THK ONLY NEW FEATURE
waa that the cleansing tube had boon
inserted in the wound channel to a
McpUSiiiJittchwt IhJnintho facer
of recent statements that the wound
was supposed to bo healed to within
three or four inches of the surface
caused considerable worry about town.
The doctors , however , claimed thai
their ability to traverse a creator dis
tance of the wound was a favorable
feature and the existence of the long
channel would not retard the progress
of the case. Probably tfio best idea
of what really has been accomplished
in the exploration of the wound and ol
the other features of the case can be
gained from the following interviews ,
between the agent of the National
Associated Press nnd Drs. Blibs and
lloyburn late this afternoon.
Dr. Bliss gave n history of the re
cent development in the wound , Avhich
was this : Since the eighth day , when
the last incision was made , no drninagu
took place. The tube has been used
in the wound , but nt each morning
nnd evening dressing n small catheter
has been made use of for cleaning.
The depth to which the tube , penetrated
trated had never boon more than three
and-a-lmlf inches up to yesterday.
The supposition for some time was that
the wound had healed from the ball to
within that distance from the surface.
Recently , however , it has been noticed
that moro pus was taken from the
wound than it took cleansing water to
fill the space again. There was some
secretion of some drainage , to
which the tube did .not reach.
A pus cavity had formed
at a short distance in the channel of
the wound , and the channel was still
open whore it scorned to como to an
pud. The temperature denies the existence
istonco of a pus cavity , and therefore
the theory that the wound had per
fectly healed to that point was not
substantiated. By pressing on the
body extra pus was obtained , but not
a great deal of it. There was enough ,
however , to show that the wound
channel carried some secretion deep
in ; here n close watch has been kept
for several days on the wound. The
pus was to have free vent from the in
ner channel , but yet the catheter coulu
not bo pressed in , There seemed to
bo n sort of valve at the point indi
cated on Thursday night. Dr. Bliss
eayg ho worked around the wound for
a loin' time in fact until his asso
ciate tired of wondering what ho was
at. Ho didn't succeed in reaching the
inner channel , but "fooled around"
just long enough to bring about
the good result of yesterday
morning , tor at the next dressing , af
ter the wound had boon cleansed and
the tube removed , a small piece of
cellular tissue followed it. Dr. Bliss
took it in his forceps and handed it to
Dr. Woodward. It was about as largo
as the end of his little finger. This is
what had formed the vnlvt ; of hin
drance to the penetration of the catho *
ler and guvo an outlet to the pus.
The pus had nearly all been drained
from the inner channel when the
valve waa removed. The catheter
was then insetted and was passed
downwaitl and forward to the depth
of 121 inches. The catheter is a flexi *
blo'rubqor tube about one-quarter of
an inch in diameter , It was passed
in easily , nd by its moans the chan
nel was perfectly cleaned ami kept so ,
Dr. Bliss was usked why no mention
was made of this yesterday. Ho re
plied that it was a matter of discussion
yesterday whether it was necessary or
not to make mention of it. . .Then fol
lowed other questions.
"Have you any idea that much pus
may have been absorbed from this iu <
ncr channel ? ' '
"I can't undertake to say how much
matter has been absorbed , but I never
heard of pyicmia resulting from the
absorption of healthy pu * . The pun
that has como from this inner clmmi" !
hns been the whitest nnd purest. Ono
reason is bocnuso it 'lias not felt the
air. Even now .vyhcn I insert the
catheter 1 first fill' the tube with wn *
tor so that no'lair can , -et in it. "
"Then the * pyiumia cannot find
food in the innorclmnnelyou think. "
"I think it far more likely that the
condition of tl\apresident \ is duo to a
slight absorption from the old woum !
channel than from the inner channel ,
but the septic 'condition ia by no
means that ofvpyromin. But just
here let mo say Hint nil this nonsense
about bed servR iraa been pure rot.
There is not and'.lias not been any-
whpro on the president's body any ab
rasion or eruption other than the
present parotid inflammation on the
exterior of the wound which wns
caused by shot. "
"Has the penetration of the catheter
assisted in locating the ball ? "
"No. The general direction taken
confirms our diagnosis , but there
may have been curves which the flexi
ble tube would pass without even in
dicating them. "
' "Was there anything to indicate
whether you reached the ball or not ? "
"No ; wo do not think wo did. Dr.
Hamilton's evidence is that the ball
is isolated from the wound two or
three inches. 1 think hrrdly as much.
Wo can tell more about that by and
by , perhaps. "
k Dr. Bliss was further asked regard
ing the electric probe. Ho said it wns
now possible , but it had not yet been
decided to use it. If nitjy explanation
should bo made , ho said the resuli
would bo officially made public. Ii
regard to whether there \vas any mala
ria in the president's cnso , ho said they
had not recognized it. He denies tlm
an increased amount of quinine hnc
been administered to the president
Ho had been given five grain doses
nftcr e.\ch oncmntn , but thcro was no
rule about their number. One day
the doctor said , he had been given twc
ouch dosca , and other days one , mu
some days none nt nil. Thcro wns no
occasion for drugging the patient , nn <
the quinine was given merely for its
tonic effect. Ho also said there was
nothing of ho nature of iutcrmillcn
foyer about thu ease.
Dr. Royburn uubstantially dupli-
e.xtcd.Dr. Bliss' statement of the ex
ploration of the wound. He said the
president told him that the parotid
swelling did not pain him oa much to
day.Dr.
Dr. Boynton said that the swelling
of the parotid gland had half sub
sided , and it was not considered ap
prchonsivo.

SUNDAY AT TUB WIIITK HOUSE.
WASHINGTON , August 21. It has
boon remarkably quiet nt the White
House to-day. Callers of nil kinds
numbered scarcely more than a score.
The catly bulletinn allowed the con
dition of the president to bo not ma
terially changed from yesterday , am
all that could be learned from the
sick room went to show that there hat
boon no loss of ground. The cfnh :
had been very slight. The annoying
swelling of the gland continues abonl
the same , less painful , but the consequent
quent gathering of phlegm necessi
tates the frequent cleaning of the pa
tient's throat and makes him restless.
The wound is reported doing well.
The flow of pus from the inner chan
nel liasn'jb been materially increasei
by the removal of the slouuli , bj
which the cleansing catheter is nl
lowed to penetrate to its entire
length. The wound is now kept per
icctly clean , and thcro is said to bo
nothing about its condition to retail
the progress of the case.

remaining less than 100 degrees mos
of the time docs not cause any alarm
Dr. Bliss gives the most satisfactory
answer to pulse question- ) , lie say
it has not been accelerated by any ncv
unfavorable feature. Ho thinks it ii
caused by the restlessness which the
president experienced during th <
night. The patient slept enough , bul
was frequently awakened by collec
lions of phlegm in his thro'at. HIB
efforts to clear his t'iroat always have
more or less effect on the pulse , am
frequent disturbances increase restless
ness , liliss says it takes a vorj
slight matter to increase the pulse
of the patient in so weak a
condition as the president is now.
Ho lias known turning him over in
bed to cause an acceleration ol
from 8 to 12 beats. It does not re
main BO high , but it often happen ?
that some such thing has disturbed
the patient just before the figures
wore taken for a bulletin. In regard
to the swelling of the gland , liliss
says that it was less painful but very
annoying. They wore tryingjto keep
t from suppurating , and from present
indications lip hopes to bo able to take
.jood care of it. Dr. Bliss also ox-
) luinod that by the opening of the in *
lor channel of the wound they had

mi. HOYNTON
s an old physician of the president's
iimily , and has often boon consulted
recently in regard to the treatment of
ho stomach. This morning , however ,
10 thought the Btomach wan doing so
veil at present as to afford encourage *
nont , and that it would yet bo able
0 meet till the demands , but
hat it would need more caro-
ul watching. Ho considered the
most impoitaiit feature in the casi
at present to bo the inflammation of the
parotid gland. Dr , Boynton coiifiid-
ira the dwelling of the gland the most
mportant feature. Ho said the in-
lamatiou was most important. Ho
aid the stomach had not evidently
est enough , and thcro was hopa that
1 longer rest might bring happy re *
ulls. What lie fears most is the
uppumtion of ( ho gland. They pro-
erred to scatter the inflammation be
cause the result of the suppuration
night bo indefinite , and the
wssibility was u danger to the
made ear and another to the bones
> f the jaw , and ctill another trouble
night bo witl < the hair. While none
of those troubles wore sure to follow
suppuration , their | u > ssibility must
1)0 recognized , nnd hence the prefer *
once of scattering the infUination.
Dr. Boynton wiid this jifteinoon that
it looked now ivs if the inllanwtion
well on hand.
Some time after the noon bulletin
was issued , Dr. Woodward wid "He
lakes nourishment a * usual. "
Thus fnr nil scorned have
gone comparatively , hell and
no ono expected a bad evening bulle
tin. The exact figures wore fully as
good as anticipated and ns Dr Bliss
says afterward , "If the vomiting had
not boon mentioned it would have
been considered n favorable bulletin.
The fact that the vomiting occurred ,
however , caused n great deal of alarm.
The news leaked out before the bul
letin was sent out and u Orowdus
waiting at the gate when tljuy wore
waiting at the unto when they \ > ro
forthcoming. The first thought was
that the stomach had shown UK entire
disability nnd the worst must by ex
pected. " .

it was mournfully believed , and there
was a gloomy evening indocd at the
White Hotiso. Anxiety was deep
ened but ilio alarm was not apparent.
The family have been very ouiut since
the face tronblo began , nnd are anx
ious of course. This recurrence of
vomiting is said to have boon duo to
phlegm in the throat. Bliss is au
thority for this explanation.
DUltlNU THi : KVKNINd
Dr. Boynton was asked further in
regard to the vomiting. Ho wxid the
first recurrence of the trouble came at
1:40 p. m. to-day The president
had boon having sonio tronblo with
phlegm and in clearing his throat ho
gagged until ho vomited. About ! (
hours later the same trouble occurred ,
caused in someway. Thia.vas 0:15 :
p. m. After that there Iiad boon no
vomiting up to ! ) p. in. Dr. Itoyton
gave it as his opinion that this phlegm
trouble was duo to noptamailia , the
f it-fit effect , of course being swelling.
Ho thinks this scoptie condition has
been apparent for ten days. Tomorrow
row , ho says , there will prubably bo
a turning point. An effort uill bo
made in the morning to teat his stomach
ach again. If nourishment is retained
the hopes of the phyeians will bo re
established. If fho stomach still re
fuses to act the gravity of the c.iso
will deepen. Dr. Boynton thhiks the
change will bo for the bettor , lie
was therefore asked what ho houhgl
of the case. The Doctor uiflivorer

says that the p.csidont's Voice is

Iitlco n Romance ,
One of the most sensational stories
that has lately been developed in thin
state comes from I'lattsniouth. It
seems that Chas. Kuhlman , who
formeily lived here , and Alex , lludo-
beck are both employed by the B. &
M. railrond company. Both are watch
men on the big bridge nurosB the
the Missouri nt I'lnttsinuuth , one
upon either end. Each man in pro
vided with n little shnnty which has
bovn erected on n snmll platform ex
tending beyond the side of the bridge.
According to the way Kuhlmnn tolls
the story , nf tor the midnight train had'
passed through totho west on Wednes
day night ho sat down in the nar
row space between his shnnty
nnd the mils. While there
it occurred to him that ho had not
soon his follow-wntchmnn , lludcbeck ,
follow the train to the Iowa aide , as it
was his orders to do. Kuhlmnn said
ho sat thus for nearly an hour after
the train had pnsscd. At the end of
that time ho happened to look in tlm
direction in which Iludobcck should
have come , and what was-
his astonishment to see that
individual standing within half a dox-
n feet of him. A close look nt the
mn disclosed that ho hold n cocked
ovolver in his hand , while his eyes
corned to snap quick gloanis of ha-
red. Although he hud noticed some
t mn go things in his behavior previ
ously Kuhlman nays ho could not.
jring himself to believe thu man vns
n earnl'st. lie quickly asked him
vhnt was the matter.
"I've como to shoot you , " said Uu-
lobcck in n low voice , nnd with tbnt
10 jumped over the short space that
BOpamtod thorn nnd stood upon thu
ittlo platform , confronting Kuhl
man. This pint form comprised tv
apace of only n few foot' square.
Sixty feet below rushed the
Missouri ; all around was dark
ness and not n soul within hearing
distance. To complicate matters ,
Kuhlmnn was unarmed , except for a
very short little club that ho carried.
AB Kuhlinan tersely put it , the fellow
"had the drop" on him. The man
hesitated but n moment , but in that
niomontKuhlmnnknockod the revolver
out of its range. AH ho did BO Rude-
bock jumpodbacknpparontly heedless ,
that , ft in'enfoRyX.MKt ' . plunge lij.in-.lo fc v
certain death sixty fe"t"below. Kuhl- '
man followed him up ut once , as he
saw it was his only means of escape.
Rudoback had again brought the re
volver to the proper range , and before-
Kuhlman could reach his side liad
pulled the trigger. At the sanid
instant Kuhlman throw up his left
arm , receiving the slug in the wrist.
Some of the ponder flashed in his eye
pnitinlly blinding him. Notwith
standing Hit pain from the shattered
nrm which full lifeless to liin aide ho
followed up Kmlebeek elouoly nnd n
wild nnd dangerous pursuit was begun
over the ties. Uudobeok proved the
more tlcot of foot and eluded his
pursuer in the darkness. Kuhl
man pnuucd to rest und had
sat but a few moments on thu Bide of
the bridge , with his feet dangling
down , when lludobcck suddenly ap
peared again , und leveling his revolv
er , said ho was determined to kill hiu
man. Kuhlmnn sprung to the oppo
site side of the bridge , nnd throwing
himself down , crawled along besidu
the rail until he had again
reached his shanty. A few moments
afterward n freight train cat no along
ilid Kuhlman signaled it to stop.
Jetting aboard , ho rode to Platts-
nouth. He found Ins arm badly
shattered , but the physicians did not
Junk amputation necessary.
Ho sued out n warrant for an as
sault to kill , before Judge Sullivan ,
he circuit court , who put Kudcbcck
mder $500 bail to answer the charge.
Kuhlman claims ho never did any-
hing to warrant Uudubcck'u enmity
wd c.innot explain the cause of thu
ittack.
Kuhlman is a powerfully built man.
