THE MORNINO EXAMINATION.
WASHINGTON , July 24. To-day's
early morning reports from the presi
dent's sick room were unsatisfactory
because meagre. Before 0 o'clock it
was impossible to learn moro than that
the patient had hnd another chill dur
ing the night but appeared to bo doing
well after it. Drs. Bliss and Wood
ward , who passed the night at the
house were joined at 7 o'clock in the
morning by the other surgeons. Sur-
qeon-Genoral Barnes was asked con
cerning the case but said ho had not
hoard anything since last night. Dr.
Royhurn came before 8 o'clock but it
was fifteen minutes later when Drs.
Agnew and Hamilton arrived with
the attorney-general. The examina
tion began at once
HOW HE PASSED THE NIOHT.
During the morning examination
some of those who had boonin the sick
room during the night gave out an
idea of how time had boon passed.
The sleep the president fell into after
the administration of morphia was
only slightly broken until midnight.
Then Col. Rockwell noticed a rigidity
of the muscles and general nervous-
f ness. Woodward's attention was at
tracted at once nnd also Dr. Bliss' .
It was apparent that nnotlier chill was
in progress. It continued but n mo
ment nnd was not severe. The effect
on the president's pulse and tempera
ture was noticeable and ho
did not seem much disturbed ,
Ho was restless during the early
morning and did not sleep at all. At
8:15 : his pulse wns 98 , temperature
and respiration normal , outward in
dications very favorable and under
those conditions the physicians began
the examination. First came n gen
eral consultation of the preceding
night. Dr. Agnew explained the the
ory ho had of yesterday's stoppage of
the flow of pus and the wound was
undressed. While ho did so it was
found that the discharge had been of
n good character , to , all appearances
healthy ; not so copious , however , as
on yesterday.
THE PUS CAVITY FOUND.
Dr. Agnew suggested that n pus
cavity might have been formed in the
wound channel , at or near the nnglo
caused by the deflection of the ball.
Dr. Hamilton thought this quite prob
able , and Dr. Bliss had stated last
night that the correctness of this idea
had been indicated to him during the
afternoon examination. Ho found
that by pressing a few inches below
the wound the flow of pus increased.
AN IMPORTANT SUROIOAL OPERATIONS.
Dr. Agnew then submitted a pro
position that if a horizontal incision ,
was made about three inches below
the wound it would intersect the
channel and at the same time , if the
cavity had formed , relieve it nnd per
haps help the general flow by a moro
straightening of the channel. All
parties to the consultation recognized
the feasibility of the pr position and
it was decided that Dr. Agnew should
carry it out. Accordingly at Op. m , ,
Dr. Hamilton inserted a probe in the
channel of the wound and thought ho
discovered n cavity where it liad been
anticipated. Dr. Agnew then took
the probe nnd satisfied himsoif that
the cavity was there. Ho then made
an incision. A few moments before
this Dr. Bliea sent for abottlo
of other. This gave rise to tho'story ,
that they were going to probe for the
bullet and this gained free circulation
before the oflicial bulletin explvined
what was done. The president was
not put under the influence of other ,
but ether was made use of at the
point where the incision was made ,
Col. Rockwell stated that ho watched
the president's face'when the incision
was made and not a muscle moved.
Dr. Agnew felt the patient's pulse and
remarked that it liad not perceptibly
changed , but later a reaction raised
it to J22. The incision was
followed by a discharge of pus
which was fiom the cavity such as
had been anticipated. The flow of
blood was only natural. Presently a
regular pus was discharged and wa ?
given out through a now aperture by
the insertion of a curved tube which
liad an exit at each aperture and liad
several openings for the admission of
.pus from the inner channels , and al
lowed to discharge by the old or now.
The best possible dressing HOB
applied at once , the pa
tient was made comfortable ,
as possible and there was nothing loft
to do but to await the progress of the
case. During the day Dr , Agnew was
so well satisfied with the result of the
operation that he made preparations
to return home. Later ho determined
to return to-morrow. If necessary ,
Dr. Hamilton said ho could stay till
morning nnd it was decided to make
another examination this afternoon ,
on the result of which would depend
Dr. Agnow's departure.
Dr. Agnew remained onljf during the
early part of the examination but
long enough , however , to bo assured
that the now drainage tube was work
ing satisfactorily , llo expressed him
self ns well pleased with the process
of the incision. Ho took the 4:00 :
train for Philadelphia , with the un
derstanding that ho should return to
morrow night , when Dr. Hamilton
would go homo , for twenty-four hours.
Thb consulting physicians will con
tinue thus alternating ns long M it is
doomed necessary. All the physicians
agreed that the incision was a success.
An examination she wed that pus was
flowing freely through the now aper
ture and all indications nro ns favora
ble ns before. The pus is still accom
panied by n slight bloody tissue , but it
was not uf n character to c.iuso any
serious doubt us to the favorable pro
gress of the interior of tlio wound.
The physicians were so much pleased
with the agreeable turn of affairs that
Dr. Royhurn oven ventured to show
himsoif in Secretary Brown's room
this evening fortho first time in thirty-
six hours. Ho was greeted by half n
dozen newspapermen , who said they
wondered what had become of him.
Ho said ho had purposely avoided the
press. Ha had little good news to
communicate and did not want to
commit himself to bad nows. Now ,
however , things were different.
They felt the trouble had boon mot
nnd surmounted ; that the danger for
the present was past , In answer to
questions Dr. lloyburn spoke substnn-
tially ns follows : "Wo noticed yes
terday that the pus was moving al
most sluggishly and that it was not
quite so pure as it hnd boon. Wo felt
sure there was n partial stoppage and
deemed it advisable to have n consul
tation with the physicians. Wo de
sired to exchange opinions with them
as well as to have their moral support
for a few days , when wo again had
our course of treatment fully approv
ed by Drs. Agnew and Hamilton , Of
course wo felt hotter because wo
know the president was easier. We
know something must bo done to dis
cover the cause of the stoppage , and
decided upon an incision. This morn
ing satisfactory action of the
now drainage tubes and the material
improvement in the president's con
dition gavoi us full assurance of this ,
and I know Dr. Agnew wont away
well satisfied that it was bridged over.
Wp expect no further trouble from
this source. The wound is being
drained nicely and wo keep it eo. The
now tube is arranged so wo can
wash it out and thus keeps the
wound clean. Wo do not expect any ,
further rigor to-night , but if there
should bo ono wo should consu'/'r ' it
no cause for alarm , for oven a slight
stoppage of pus might cause n chill.
ANXIOUS CROWDH.
The publication of the oflicial bulle
tin , which was delayed until 12 o'clock ,
found an anxious crowd awaiting it
and it was not so reassuring as expect
ed. The fact that an incision had
been made caused considerable alarm.
The fact that its object was not fully
explained was taken ns an evidence of
the gravity of the casp and that the
doctors were not willing to speak
fully.
AT THE WHITE HOU.SE.
At the White House , however , the
result of the operation was reassuring.
Members of the cabinet called during
the morning with anxious faces , but
wont more hopefully nway. Drs. Ax-
now and Hamilton refused to express
any opinion of the case till they should
have made another examination. Dr.
Barnes said that the president was doing
pretty well , and Dr. Royburn said :
"Tho consulting sugeons are with us
now and wo nro awaiting the report of
what has boon done. " Dr. Bliss says
the present condition of the case had
reassured nil the doctors. Ho had
just boon taking hoof tea nourishment
Ho said that the present outward in
dications were more favorable than at
any time during the preceding thirty-
six hours. At the time ho was talk
ing his pulse was 102 , temperature ,
90.5 , and respiration but slightly ac
celerated. Dr. Bliss remained witli
the patient all the afternoon. At 3
p. m. his pulse was 98 , temporatnro
and respiration normal. The presi
dent had a refreshing nap between 3
and i p. m. Drs. Agnew and Ham
ilton took dinner with the attorney-
general and returned to the white
liouso after 4 o'clock
Secretary nnd Mrs , Blaine called
soon after that hour. They were ac
companied by ox-Collector Morritt of
Now York , Mrs , Oarfiold know noth
ing pf the proposed incision until af
ter it had been performed , and she
accepts the physicians words that it
liad boon done successfully.
, . MESSAGES Of INQUIRY.
The news brought hundreds of
messages of inquiry to the White
House during the day , and Private
Secretary Brown was kept bnsy spndi
ing nnd aiuworing. After the incision
had been made all answers were hope-
tul. Col. Rockwell sent the follow
ing word to some friends ; "Wo all
feel roliovodand honofortholjoat. At
2 o'clock the president's condition is
moro favorable ami his general appear
ance is better. "
Col. Corbin sent word to ox-Presi
dent Hayes that the effect of the op
eration was promising , The same
was sent by Harry Garfield to his
grandmother , and Dr. Agnew , in
Bending his wife word , said ho would
bo home tp-night , and added ; "Tho
president is more comfortable. "

DR. HAMILTON ,
HE SAYS THE NEWS GIVEN THE PUBLIC
WERE KOBE-COLORED.
NEW YORK , July 23. A pri
vate dispatch nt 10:30 : to-night
from Washington states that Dr.
Frank Hamilton , on his arrival nt
Washington , at once repaired to the
White House , nnd from a careful ex
amination of the president's condition
and attending circumstances pro
nounced the president's condition to
bo so favorable as to warrant leaving
him entirely undisturbed until morn
ing. This dispatch was circulated in
the Fifth nvcnuo hotel and produced
a marked and favorable effect. When
Dr. Hamilton was summoned to
Washington he repaired to the
Fifth avenue hotel to inquire about
reaching the capitol. This was nt
2:30 _ : p. m. His manner was ex
cited and ho was pale. His appear-
unco attracted attention and the
crowd asked him the cause of his
anxiety. Ho said ho had been sum
moned to attend the president , who
had had a dangerous relapse , and hii
case looked very bad , worse a great
deal than the public had any concep
tion of. Hoadmitted , that the whole
truth had never been given to the
public sincd the president had boon
shot and that the case had all along
been given a rose color not warranted
by facts.
At this point the great surgeon re
fused to say further , that ho would
go to Washington on the 3:40 : train
and ho know of no reason why a re
lapse should have occured. Tlio last
remark of Dr. Hamilton made a deep
impression. It was soon circulated
all over the upper portion of the city ,
The interpretation put upon it by a
great many who have been all along
only too ready with suspicions was
that Hamilton unconsciously gave
utterance to the suspicion that in
some way the enemies of the admin
istration had baffled the president's
physicians. Two prominent admin
istration man who figured conspicu
ously in the contest at Albany , when
they heard the nllegod utterances of
Dr. Hamilton , proclaimed their be
lief in the stones engendered by the
doctor's remarks , nnd at once pro
ceeded to Washington for the nvowod
purpose of an iin cstigation.
nn. BOYNTON.
WASHINGTON. July24. Dr. Boyn
ton Mrs. Garfiold's physician , has
closely watched the case nnd was
present when the operation wns per
formed. Ho stated that the physi
cians felt greatly encouraged. The
president is. of course , weaker , but
otherwise the cnsn stands to-night
whore it did three days ngo. There is
no doubt that the cavity discovered
was the causa of the relapse , but that
has boon met and everything is pro
ceeding nicely. If pus continues to
flow freely , as it doubtless will , the
outer section of the wound will bo
allowed to heal.

THE TRIAL Or MAUD H.
The principal event on the pro-
gi-unmo and the particular drawing
card for the day was the announce-
incut that Maud S would attempt to
lower her unrivalled record of 2:10& : .
The day was nil that could bo desired ,
and had the track boon first-class
thcro is not the slightest doubt but
what the fleet daughter of Harold and
Miss llusscll would have made a
tecord that would stand n long time.
The rccont heavy rainn had thorough
ly soaked the track and it waa impos
sible to got in strictly first-class trot
ting order , there being a softness to it
that naturally impeded the speed of a
horse. It wua such n track as horse
men would pronounce iair , but not
fast. The crowd in attendance was
an enormous ono , there being fully
40.000 persons , and such mi ono as is
ntjjy peon on care occasions. "Win. H.
V"andorbilt , Hi * i. . * r rJL' MhUl.Jv
and a party of friends , came from
Now York for the special purpose of
seeing'Maud S make the trial. There
were also largo delegations
from Cincinnati and St. Louis ,
with many horsemen and lovers of
tlio turf from nil sections
of tlio country. Many persona re
turned homo yesterday , not thinking
that tlio track would bo in slutpo for
any trial to bo made. If they had
-stayed they would have boon "well re-
paiu for doing so. Shortly after 4
o'clock the beautiful sorrel mare came
on the track and wns slowly jogged
around previous to making her lirst
attempt. She was greeted with cheers
and the clapping of hands as she slow
ly passed in front of tlio
assembled thousands. Mr. Bair
then drove around the track
and coming down the hpmo-strotch
well on tlio outside she increased
her stride and just before reaching
the wire Bair nodded for the word ,
which was given him , As soon as it
was known that the word had boon
given every ono was as quiet as when
in a church , excepting seine few ox-
copied individuals whom nothing
could keep quiet She rounded the
turn all right , but broke badly just
after passing the quarter. After that
she was not urged and came to the
wire in 2:21 : $ , After another heat
liad been trotted in the 2:27 : class she
was brought out again. This time
Bair kipt her well on the inside
and nodding for the word us ho noar-
cd the wire she was sent on her second
end trial. This time she trotted the
milo without a skip , the first quarter
being i cached in 34 & , the half in 1:00 : ,
the three-quarters "in 1:38 : and the
mile in 2:11 : ] . She then wont to the
stable until another heat in the 2:27 :
class had boon trotted , when she
again came out for her third trial.
Bair drove her slowly around the
track and came up for the word which
was given him. She trotted her milo
without a sldp and as she came
like a flash down the stretch without
n touch of the whip , everybody felt
that she would boat her Pittsburq
time , but for some reason , uhknown ,
Itair slightly chocked her before roach *
ing the wire and the judges announc
ed the time as 2:11 : , Many persons
outside of the timer's stand held
watches which made the time as 2:101 : ,
At the conclusion of the third heat
Mr. Bair was presented with nn elegant -
gant basket of flo era and the Queen

The Times says : "Now York has { jot
two senators of no remarkable ability
and that is about the whole of it. It
would bo absurd to indulge in any ex
pressions of state pride , but it has
vlso got rid of two senators by whom
ifc was conspicuously misrepresented
and in whom the sense of private pro
prietorship of their oflicos had wholly
effaced any souse of public responsi
bility.

Elmo variety theatre Saturday night
jy the explosion of n lamp and the
iring of the tapestry of ono of the
joxos and the stage curtain. The
theater was crowded to its utmost
capacity and the saloon adjoining was
also filled. Near the close of the last
Hoce on the programme the stage
nanagcr wished -darken the stage
'or ' scenic effect , and in extinguishing
a lamp , sitting in n bracket at
lie corner of the stage
icnr ono of the boxes , ho
cnockod it down. It fell upon the
railing in front of the box and ox-
iloded. The oil caught fire and in nn
iistant the tnoestry" the box was in
a sheet of llamo. A scene of fright
and confusion followed. The crowd
on the floor shouted and surged to
ward tlio entrance door which opens
nto the paloon. In the endeavor to
get out many climbed upon the
loads and shoulders of those in
front of them and trampled upon
those who had fallen. The building
ms a front similar to n store and
hrough the upper half of this some
one throw n chair , which was immedi
ately followed by a stream of human-
ty , which did not cease until the
juilding was entirely empty. Quito

n this manner were seriously cut by
the fragments of glass and hurt in
'ailing upon the walk below , ahoy
; hey were crowded and pushed by
jioso behind them , The ballot girls
screamed in terror and rushed from
the stage through the wine room into
the excited crowd out side , arrayed in
thuir scanty stage costume. Some of
them cried for their lovers , others for
their pet dogs , and others still Boomed
to scream because they enjoyed BO
doing.
The flames were quickly extinguish
ed by tearing down the curtains and
tapestry , and the free use
of water , which was quickly
supplied , As it happened the wild
excitement waa premature.
At the first moment of the explosion
some ono ran to the alarm box at the
corner of Thirteenth and Douglass
