His progress is slow , but as long as no unfavorable - favorable symptoms appear the doctors say all is progressing oven beyond thoir1 expectation. NO UNFAVORABLE SVMPTOMB. With his increased pulse there was no increased unfavorable 'new symp toms. Every symptom was favorable and all but the regular sick room at tendants wont home in confidence. The president slept well hot as the night was , and suffered no great un easiness. Ho took nourishment fre quently , and a little more at a time than on the proceeding night. He talked but little simply because ho know it was best ho should not. His naps were short principally , but now and then ho remained asleep for a considerable length of timo. Miss Dr. Edson , whoso watches at the bed side were relieved by Cols. Rockwell and Swain , left the mansion soon ater daylight. She said to one who < met her that the president was doing nicely. His pulao has gene down again and all symptoms are favorable. Tlio doctors -came early and be gan an examination at nine o'clock. At 7:30 : , p. m. Gen eral James , surnamed "tho hopeful , " drove up and 'entered the mansion. It took him but a few moments to learn that the president was improved and ho came down stairs radiant. "That man is sure to get well , " said he , "The people want him. Ono of the best features of this whole affair is the intenco fooling it has developed in the South. It is so very gratify ing to all. The president may not change his condition much for some time , " continued Gen. James , "but ho will pull through all right. " Dr. Boynton , who loft Mrs. Garfield at Long Branch , on receipt of the news of the death of the president's undo in Ohio , returned to-day. Ho reached the White House at 9 a. in. and was much encouraged at the president's condition. 11.10 a. in. The cooling- apparatus in thp presidents room works nicely and ho enjoys the effect very much. The president awoke at 11 and asked for more nourishment. This appetite is looked upon as ono of hia most , fa vorable symptoms , 'i y J : 12:30 : a. m. Tlio physicians find the president's condjtion ab ut the same and are consulting as to treatment. Dr. Bliss says tho' president's . hi blhan rorjwIdliat prcwea f avprably. i imtU M bM the 'greatest' ' danger will be1 passed. 3 p. m.

' Public anxiety- , certainly on the move hero , but public interest is by no moans loss. i People talk of nothing else. At the same time all is but hope , for the doctors oven dare not have confidence. Dr.Keyburn said to-day that his hope was grounded firmer now oven than ycstcrdaypvhon ho could sep that the family were confident , and if ho know any reason why they should not bo ho would certainly try to guard against a dangerous disappointment.

Ho thinks the president will recover. Secretary Blaine denies that the card of the eminent surgeon , jh . Gross , of Philadelphia , was not honored at the White House. NOT AU.OWKI ) TO CONVB11SK. The president has refrained almost entirely from conversation to-day. Dr. Woodward said to him , "Tho course 0S the bullet is past tlio diaphragm to < or through the liver. Every word you utter moves the diaphragm and disturbs the liver. " The president recognized the situation and said that ho would not speak. The president was removed to-day from the bed ho has been on to a nar row 0110 secured for the purpose , BO that his attendants can moro easily attend to his wants. In all probabil ity lie will bo moved again this after itt . A patent hospital cot was sent to Dr. Bliss from Boston , and was brought to the White Houso. It will allow the president to move about and change position without much exor- tion. Ho was moved from ono bed to tiai another without discomfort , and ain another moving is not likely to pro duce any harm. J * | TJio following was sent to the widow of Gen. George H.Thomas : Dear Mrs. Thomas Your letter of the 5th inst. is just at hand. It awakens associa tions and feelings that I can't find ex pression for in words.

The letters- and telegrams cam'o to Register Bruce from both white and colored people , democrats and repub licans. WHERE If ) TUB FJE8J1 BALL. Quito a'raystery hangs about the whereabouts of the first bullet fired by the assassin at the president. The first report was that it lodged in hia arm , This proved incorrect. It merely struck tlio sleeve , hut \ hat became of it nf torward is n mystery. It could not possibly hare passed out of the room , nnd yet both the walls have boon carefully examined. There is no mark of the bullet upon them. The room was carefully searched yet no traces of the ball , nnd the clothing of thoprosidont , Was closely cxamimod , but still oo trnco could bo found of it , The president's bloc'dlng was large ly exaggerated. The newspapers throughout the land were replete with accounts of how the clothing of hit excellency was smeared vfkli blood and the iloor of the depot made slipjjory with it. Oddly enough , the president shed no biood. At all appearances ( pearances there was a single spot of crimson dye on the inside of his vest. The wound did not bleed.
