The President's Pulse , Respira tion and Temperature Eoduced. Ho is Given Nourishment at .Different Times Yesterday and Retains it. No-Vomiting of .Nausea has 4 Kow Occurred Within Forty-Bight Hours. Secretary Blaine and Other Members of the Cabinet Greatly Encouraged. The Lntott Ballotin Reports the PrMldent as Sleeping , National Awodatod I'rww A QUIET NK1IIT. to disturb oven the colored messenger who was at'her command , except to got the president a drink of water now and then during waking moments , OEN. SWAI.SI soon relieved Mrs. Edson at the bed side. So gave him full assurances ol the continued tranquility of the pa tient. Ho had not , she said , been at all troublesome. There has not been any indication of vomiting or any nau sea whatever. Mrs. Edson informed a watchman as she wont toward her room that the president was getting bettor. From that time until ? o'clock there was another season of extreme quiet about the private part of the mansion. Mrs. Garlield did not rise as early as usual. I'HIVATE HECUETAHY I1UOWN came down later ; Attorney General MacVeagh did not come down as usual ; Dr. Agnew had his duster and traveling bag with nim. All these were straws showing that thu wind was blowing favorably. The first conclusive evidence was Secretary Brown's information , about 8 o'clock , that his pulse was 104 , the best morn ing pulse for several days. The bul letin shows improvement and is good evidence that another start has boon made in the right direction. THR 1'HYSICIANH are still further encouraged and the president's family k-xvo increased nopo. Dr. Agnowwhen ho announced that ho would return to Philadelphia on the 9:30 : a m. train , told Mrs.Gar- field that there was no special need ol him there now ; Dr. Hamilton would remain , and that ho would return in a few days , if not summoned sooner. Ho said the president was bettor oven than yesterday , and that he felt per fectly secure in going away , nit. AONEW took the 0:30 : train for Philadelphia , as he expected to. Private Secretary Brown drove with him to the depot. Dr. Agnew told him there wasground , for great encouragement to-day. Ho ia expected to return by to-morrow evening , as Dr. Hamilton desires to bo in Now York Saturday night. Mil. POWELL , ono of the president's door-keepers who has been ill with malaria , is again on duty. A printed story comes from the west to the effect that Dr. Bliss stamps all published interviews with liim as fabrications. This is a mistake. Except when thcro is no favorable news Dr. Bliss is always willing to talk candidly to these who approach him. The agent of the National Associated Press has lad dozens of interviews with Dr , [ Jliss , some of them covering as much as an hour's time. Ho has also a collection of autograph answers o questions submitted in writing ut all hours of the day md night. Dr. Bliss intends to claim nothing beyond the fact that some llcgod interviews with him have been iianufacturod out of whole cloth. 8TKWAKD ( MUMP , .ho president's old nurse , who was > rokon down watching by the bedside returned yesterday and is expected to resume duty to-day. He js not so yell this morning and has had to re main in his room. HENATOH HEN HILL says that there is n deep feeling of ; loom in regard to the president's > respects wherever ho has been nnd hat lie was surprised to find such a lopeful feeling at the White House , A uAiin FUOM im. IILIHS. WASHINGTON , August 18 , The igent of the National Associated Press sent a note to Dr. Bliss this afternoon taking if he wrote a letter credited to lim in The Chicago Evening Journal of August 15th , in which ho was said , o refuse all conversation with corre spondents and in which also all re ported interviews with him were ilmractcrized as pure inventions and : ho inventors were said to bo a "press jang" trying to muko fools of the physicians. Tlio doctor replied in writing ns follows : "In reply to your loto requesting t ? bo informed if the enclosed slip from The Chicago Evening Journal was written by mo , I have to state that the paragraph is an entire fabri cation and as only one of the many 'also and cruel attacks upon mo made 611190 I liavo occupied the position us lurgoon in charge of the president.

( Signed ) D. W. BLIH.H. UU. HAMILTON has not thoucht beat to enter into A detailed explanation of the elm me to of the inflammation of the parotii gland , but has given repeated assur uncos this afternoon that it in no such as to alarm the physician * . DR. IU11NHS , after the iwuo of the noon bulletin said the president showed marked im nrovcmoiit as coliiprtteu wttn thoMino hour yesterday , and that the iullain niation was comparatively trill 1113. 11UMOIW. Among the rumors this evening was ono that the condition of tin president's body indicated a genera b.ul condition of thirblooil. Another wns that a prominent surgeon hai predicted thnt this inuriung wouU sliNw aRonera ! outbroakiiig of pyAomin. One prominent physician , who luu devoloiicd some opposition to the doctors earlier in. the case , says to night that thu itttondinir doctors nro right in their assertions tluti the inllainination is not pyaomta. There have been several coses in his practice where mich inilamum- tfon resulted when the circu'instanbos of tlio case have not allowed the pa tient to take nourishment throH h the mouth. JIo explained it by ua.vi that the parotid gland , secreting , it does , much of the Ralivn , muat necessarily inflame if the accretion becomes too great , as saliva has no de mand upon it unless food passes in the vicinity of its secretion. It does not seem natural to believe that the continued abstinence of the president from taking food may have resulted in a sufficient detention of saliva to have provoked inflammation. This theory is further encouraged by the fact that now , since the resumption of natural nourishment has been bettor established , inflammation has already greatly subsided at 10p.m. , and was causing comparatively slight annoyance. There were a few callers at the \Vhito House to-night. Among these were Gen. Sherman , Justice Harlan and Judge lleyuolds. Th'e cabinet were all there at ono time or another during the evening. The physicians savc them encouragement by sayinj ; that the stomach had begun - gun to act so well and that the wound was continuing to heal. They reas serted their statements that there was nothing of an alarming nature in the inflammation of the gland. SECKETAHY 11LAINE says to-night that ho feels moro on couragomcnt. Postmaster General Tames says : "It looks brighter than over. " Windom and other members of the cabinet expressed themselves as satisfied with the progress of the day. Dra. Bliss and Woodward are on duty to-night , and Dr. Boynton and Col. Rockwell divide the sick room vigil. The president retained still moro of tho-milk gruel this .even ing , and Bays it .is the beat thing ho has taken in many a day. His wife made it. Ha fell asleep naturally at 9 a. m. and did not awake- for an hour. WHAT UK. KEYBtniN SAYS. Towards evening ono ot the surgeons was talking by telephone of the in flammation. Ho Raid it was the i csult of the extreme debility of the patient aod should cause no alarm. The same surgeon stated that the president had not only partaken of koumiss several tiiuob during the day , but had partu- ken of milk gruel prepared by Mrs. Garfiold. This nourishment was all retained without the slightest nausea. In conclusion the telephone stated that the president was doing fully as well as could bo expected und was , in fact , getting on admirably. At 7 p. m. Dr. Reyburn said that ho was im proving. "How about the inflamrnatio" ? " "It now causes less pain than ear lier in the day. " "What will bo the end of it ? " "Wo hope to scatter it , but it may suppcrato. In either event it need not cause any alarm. Of course it is \ source of worry to the president , but the pain will not bo severe after the Tirst hour. It pains him less now , Mr. Boynton thinks the inflammation something moro of soptonmnia , not ; hat it is an indication of blood poi soning brought about by long prostra tion , and which asserts itself now On account of the extreme debility of thu patient. " THURSDAY'S BULLETINS. WAHIIINQTO.Y , August 18. 8 u. m. Drs.
