A GOOD NIOUT PASSED.
WASHINGTON , Augtist 24.- The
president passed a good night , slept
well , and was not much annoyed by
the swelling in his throat. After 11
o'clock he did not need attention from
the physicians until 3 o'clock this
morning , and then only to give an
cnomata. At 0 o'clock Dr. Bliss
arose and sat awhile at the bedside.
Ho prepared four ounces of beef extract -
tract , which the president swallowed ,
after which ho foil asleep. Dr. Blss
was relieved by Boynton. When
Dr. Bliss returned.he asked of Dr.
Boynton : "Have you noticed any of
that disturbance again ? " alluding to
partial dolirum. The president
eked up , "with what disturbance do
, u refer to ? "
} 'To your throat , " returned the
lictor. The president placed his
hand on the swelling and said : "It is
as hard as n rock , but it does not hurt
much. "
The conversation which took place
just after the president had awakened
is regarded as conclusive evidence
that the mind is not wandering. At
t- half-past 7 o'clock Dr. Bliss said :
tf. f. "Tho president showed unquestioned
"
: improvement.
"How is the smaller glandsj" was
? . asked.

T * , , Tll'rft ] ilV" J1f ' " " " " ° f J-y * but _ 5j
" '
iiniy do so" .
"Is it still possible for it to dis
perse without suppurating ? "
"Yes , and I wish it would. "
, "Does the president seem anxious
about his condition ? "
"He asks mo every day wKat I
think about him and I always give
. him a cheerful answer. Yesterday he
asked how soon I thought ho could
take a river ride or go to Mentor and
I told him it all depended on his stomach
ach and ho at once asked for some
thing to take. The physicians agree
that the principle trouble to bo feared
is inanition. "Nourishment is what
wo need , " said Bliss , and it looks now
as if wo would got him up again. No
encmata was given this morning. '
ANOTHER INCIHION MADE.
WASHINGTON , August 24 , The ap
pearance of the parotid swelling at
noon gave increased evidence of sup
puration and after the bulletin was
issued a consultation was hold. It was
-decided that even if pus had not yet
been found it tvould relieve him to
-open it. Accordingly Dr. Hamilton
took a knife and made an incision just
in front of the lower part of the
-ear. The incision was not moro than
one-half inch deep and the same
width. A Carbolic antiseptic spray
was made u'so of. The president was
not much annoyed by it. A slight secretion -
-crotion of the pus was discovered , and
a quantity loss than one thimbleful
was taken out. The pulse was accelerated -
-eratod to 115 beats after the incision ,
but foil almost immediately.
Dr , Bliss aaid the incision resulted
moro satisfactorily than they had ex
pected , for they were not sure that
wusjliad formed within ] it' , yet ho ,
hoped now that all further * formation
of pus liad thus been arrested
-and that the inflammation had boon
-effectually relieved. No doubt the
slight increase in temperature was due
in a measure to the condition of the
swelling. Since the incision the prcsi
dent has taken moro nourishmcpt ,
and has gone naturally to sleep.
AIIOUT THE HAMK.
WASHINGTON , August 24. The progress -
gross of the president's case to-day
has not differed materially from yes
terday. During the fore part of the
day the gonoralfeoling of hopefulness
gamed strength among the popula
tion which even subsequent events
failed to destroy.
THE OI'ENINO OF THE NEW WOUND
was recognized us an extra drain on
the president's system but it WAS con
tended that it was only n temporary
sot back and would bo followed by t
steady progress toward recovery. The
phyaici&ns had concluded ai wirly as
last night that the gland noiild sup
purate and the opinion was conlirmet
by the examination to-day 11 once
measures were taken ty relieve thu
inflammation. The pit idenl exnor
ience'd less trouble from phlegm dur
ing the morning , but as the noon ux '
amination showed increased tempera
.uro . it was determined to m.iko an in
cision.
iw. HAMILTON
uado the incision immediately after
the noon bulletin , and the result was
satisfactory.
Dr. Iloyburn , speaking of it , sub-
cqMCtitly said the discharge of pus
was so small that the president with-
itood it well. Ether spray was not
ised , but only carboline.
Dr. Hamilton said the incision was
satisfactory. The result was a small
lischar-o of pus.
Dr. Bliss Said the operation was n
slight ono , and cut 'half hn inch deep'
and half mi inch broad. The pulse
was accelerated to 115 , but within an
lour fell to 104. The flow of inn was
small , boinjr only nbbut as largo as
, wo pe.w. The physician * were satis
fied to tind pus at once. They think
all that forms in thu gland will be
draiiled by this incision. The cut w.is
nado just in front of ( ho Ion or part
of the oar , but they don't think an-
thcf incision u ill bo necessary.
AT THE KVENINCl EXAMINATION
ho doctors said moro pus had boon
akcn. out and iho swelling- had sub"
tided slightly. The operation slight-
y increased tlio temperature and pulse.
Dr. Boynton said this evening that he
considered the operation the result of
; oed judgment and expected that the
clief of the inflammation would bono-
It the patient.
GENERAL SWAIM
ixprcssod a similar opinion and said
10 felt moro encouragement than at
any titno this week.
cot. ROCKWELL
said to-night that the president had
no delirium , and that such talk was
nonsense. His mind was as clear as
over and there was a good deal of
Garfield there yet. For ono or two
mornings he was a little mixed up on
Bret awaking which gave rise to the
report.
t
"Dqyou road papers to hun now ? "
"Ho"asked mo to yesfbrdny but I
told him there was no newj worth
reading and that settled it. "
THE STOMACH.
The condition of the president's
stomach was satisfactory during the
entire day. Up to 4 p. m. bo had
swallowed 22 ounces of liquid food ,
nainoly : Beef ox tract and milk per
ridge. Ho took an additional quan
tity during the evening. Encmata
wns not resumed to-day. The physi
cians deny that that was discontinued
because they were hurtful tojho pa'-
tiont , but insist that it woa because
the stomach mot with all the require
monts.
WHITE HOUSE PEOPLE
argue that when the pus has bom
diaincd from the gland there will bo
a marked improvement in the patient.
THE MEJIBEIW OK THU CABINET
were all present to-night and Jiad

arc still hopeful , but await1 with anx
iety the result of the glandular trou
ble.
TO IlEMOVE HIM FltOM1 THK

The doctors to-day considered
advisability of removing the 'prcsi f
dent from the White House. Thosi
who favored it argued that after tin
glandular trouble was surmountei

determined to have a consultation am
Dr. Bliss at 0 o'clock this morning
olegraplfbd Dr. Agnew to return im
nodiatoly. Dr. Agnew arrived at K
p. m.
Dr. Hamilton at ! ) p. in. said tha
.ho president w/.s full as well as las
evening. At the same hour Dr
lihss , when starting to moot ) Dr. Ag
new said that various plans wore un
dcr consideration. Ho believed tha
, ho doctors would not agree to re
moving the patient and if romovcc
.t will bo to the soldiers homo , as it i
practically impossible to take a jour
ley to Mentor or a voyage on th
Tollupoosa.
As soon as Dr. Agnew arrived th
surgeons went into consultation with
closed doors. This fact and that the
cabinet remained till 11:30 : gave rise
to the suspicion ttiat something more
than a consultation was going on.
The urgency of the conference was
explained by the fact that Agnew in-
licated in his telegraphic reply to
Bliss that ho hoped the conference
could bo hold to-night as ho wanted
to bo back in Philadelphia to-morrow.
Ho could say nothing about the re
sult. The physicians failed to roach
any conclusion. Hamilton advocated
the removal of the president , but it
was found impossible to decide as to
when or Whether at all it would bo
practicable. ' _

CAN POi-SIIlLY RECOVER.
NEW YORK , August 24. Of the
brain and nervous troubles , to which
allusion his been make in connection
with the president , Surgeon-General
Hiiminoiul , who is a recognized expert
and specialist in nervous diseases ,
says : "They are probably not duo to
the swollen ffand ] but ui n simply the
result , and'iTimtural one , of exhaus
tion and debility. The swelling might
affect the brain through sympathy
just as a boil on the head would bo
moro likely to affect the brain than a
boil on the arm , and it may have an
indiiect effect through the mediihu of
the nervous system. I do not thi.k ,
either is , however , the case and the
parotid trouble has had little moro
than local effect , the oppressing mus
cles of the jaw making it difficult to
the mouth , causing the same pain and
interfering with the swallowing. "
"Have you chanu'cu ' your opinion
as to the final result' ? "
"No , I don't see ho\v ho can re
cover. But , as Dr. Townsend says ,
if he was u little longer or beyond the
sixtieth day it , it will bo u much
ino'ro hopeful case than it is now.
The only question is whether the
ability of the system , exhausted as it
is , will recuperate. The surgical
work is all done and it [ is now only a
case for the nurse. If ho dies it.will
bo from inanition. There is. n natural
danger of diarrhoja , and a very little
trouble of that sort would bring the
end. If ho has a relapse Saturday
.lie case 'is hopeless. Still , in dying
from inanition'ho might continue to
live in u gradually weakening condi
tion for a month , although Him t is ,
not likely. " *
