The happy | change had its effect, in that there was very lit- tle inquiry as to the President's condition. Once more the doctors come from the sick room with- out being seized on by twenty or more people who have been waiting for just such an oppor- tunity to hear from the sick bed. Drs. Reyburn and Bliss were with the President all last night. They took little naps as the President slept soundly. Their sleep was light, and they awoke without the slightest trouble. DR. BLISS SAID THIS MORNING, as he came out of the sick room, that everything began to look bright again. When asked about the appearance of the wound when dressed this morning he said that there had been a good dis- charge—what he called a unusual discharge of pus. The flow had not been as great as before the pus cavity was formed. collected for twenty-four hours was then drawn off, the only discharge in the meantime being the small continuous flow.

The pus which had col- lected in the cavity, and which was the cause of the President's critical condition, flowed freely. It came from both the wound and the counter opening.

BLISS SAID AT MIDNIGHT—SATISFIED THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL GET WELL. Doctor Bliss said at midnight last night: The President is doing very well to-night. He is resting comfortably, his temperature and respi- ration are about normal, and his pulse is not so quick as at seven o'clock, when it was 104. He has been improving eyer ‘since we made the incision this morning and let out the col- lected in the pocket which had formed in the lower part of the wound canal. We observed the pocket forming Saturday morning, and we then decided to make the incision in a line below the pus-bag, and to thus facilitate drainage; but in order to satisfy the publi¢we determined to send for Doctors Hamilton and Agnew. The pocket could be emptied by mantpulation with the hand, but it would have filled up again. The operation was postponed until yesterday. morn- ing upon the advice of the epnsulting physicians, Who only arrived here at dark Saturday e ing. In the meantime the pocket was emptied by manipulation, as previously mentioned. Dr. Bliss attributes the high temperature, quick pulse and rapid respiration (commonly described as the relapse) of Saturday to irritation caused by the presence of that foreign matter in the pocket. It was a conditjon not unexpected by the surgeons, and though they were of course uneasy because of the occurrence, still there was no occasion for alarin—a fact which Dr. Bifss says he repeatedly told newspaper men ‘As to the official bulletins issued, Dr. Bliss says: “We have been so particular about the wording of our bulletins that we have gone over them and revised them, so as never to say je much, but to say just enough to convey the exces as they were. We have not made an ive statement at any time.” Tn conclusion, in answer to a question, “What is your candid opinion of the case?” Dr. Bliss said: “T have got my patient in hand, and I am satistied he is going to get well.” DR. AGNEW ANXIOUS TO LOCATE THE BULLET. Early yesterday Dr. Agnew, who is exceeding- ly anxious to locate the bullet, had the Doctor Bell electrical apparatus rigged up for the pur- | pose of making an experiment. There is an old | soldier in the Soldiers’ home in this city, who carries a bullet in his body,a souvenir of the late war. The doctors know exactly where the ball is located, it having formed a cyst within two inches of thesurface of the body. Dr. Agnew told where the ball was located. He ex- perimented with the old soldier, and while Ag- new was not entirely satistled ‘with the result, the other doctors say the induction balance, which is the naine given to the electrical appa- ratus, indicated the locality of the ball with cor- rectnes Dr. Agnew, it is said, hasa theory that if the bulle. which is now in the President's body can | be located, that it would bea safe and wise treatment to cut it out. He willagain test the electrical machine, and ifsatisfied with its work- | ings, will use it upon the President. Ifthe | bullet. however, is more than two inches from the surface of the body, it cannot be located by | means of the induction balance. At six o’clock last night Dr. Agnew returged to Philadelphia, | being called home by reason of his practice. If necess and relieve Dr. Hamilton, who. will remain here until it is no longer necessary for him to remain, or, until relieved by Dr Agnew. he will return to-morrow night, | WHAT THE ATTENDING DOCTORS SAY. The attending physicians one and all say that | at no stage of the President's case since he was shot have they ever admitted that the formation ofa pus cavit danger of pywmia had been passed. Now they say the pus cavity has made its appearance and been overcome by the operation of yesterda; They do not e: cw vas not probable, or that the pect the formation of any other doctors believe that the cavity was incised a Dr. new inay have been formed by the builet, and it would not sur- them at allif the bullet was svon found. think that Dr. Agnew entertained a similar 1 opinion for the reason of his anxiety to try to locate the ball by the electrical experiment: MRS. GARFIELD went out to drive yesterday evening about six o'clock. Dr. Hamilton accompanied her, and af- terwards took tea at the White House. ames ae AND HOW IT WAS PER- FORMED, In an interview with a representative of the Associated Press, at 8 o’cloek, last evening, Dr. Reyburn expressed the opinion that the crisis of the disturbance caused by the formation of the pus cavity has passed, and that there is now every reason to expect an abatement, if not an entire disappearance of the unfavorable symp- toms of the last 3éhours. In explaining the nature of the operation performed by Dr. Agnew yesterday morning and the necessity for it, Dr. Reyburn made in substance the following state- ment: “The direction taken by the ball afterit en- tered the body was foyrardand slightly downward until it struck one of the ribs. It was then de- flected still further downward and a little to the right, so as to make an acute angle with the line of the back. In other words, when a probe was introduced into the wound to a depth of three or three and a _ half inches its direction was such that its inner end was only about an inch and a-half from the out- | side of the body at a point lower down. The examination, which was made in the presence of Drs. Agnew and Hamilton, this morning, showed that a pus cavity had formed in the track of the ball near and beyond the point where it glanced from the rib, and that this cavity could be reached by a direct incision three inches below the mouth of the wound. , It was decided at once to perform the operation. No anzsthetics were used, but the part to be operated upon was benumbed by the spray of ether, and a wide cut was made into the puscavit®, whicn was reached at a depth of little more than an inch. With the ald of a probe anda pair of forcepe, a drainage tube, which is asmall flexible tube of rubber perforated with holes, was then intro- duced into the wound made by’ the ball, and then after being carried through the pus cavity, was brought out through the newly-made in sion. One end of the tube then projected from the cut made by the surgeon's knife to the other from the moutii of the original wound. As the pus 90zed into the tube thropgh the perforation, it could escape from either end, and was re- peatedly washed out with g weak solution of carbolic acid and water, which was thrown through the tube in a stream. The discharge which followed the opening of the pus cavity was entirely satisfactory to. the surgeons, and The was #00n followed by relief to the patien drainage tube has been left” as it was originally placed, and will remain there for the present. If the wound discharges fi ly through the new opening the tube may perhaps be withdrawn from the old one in order to ‘allow the latter to heal. The incision made to-day is in a direct line with the deeper parts of the wound, and it is thought that the pus will escape through it without any of the obstructions which impeded its outflow along the track of the ball, and which caused the pus cavity,” In ast to the question whether another pus cavity is likely to form ana bring about @ recur- rence of the alarming symptoms of yesterday, Dr. Reyburn sai ‘I cannot answer positively, but as the pus now has free egress, I do not think it probable that another cavity will form. Upon being asked wheiher'there were or had been any symptoms in the ident’s case’ of pyzemia or blood-poisoning, pr.

The President slept some this morning. first beef tea given him to-day was partaken of witha relish. Mr. Crump said that the Presi- dent’s appetite has almost completely returned, | and that he had no doubt of the President's recovery. When asked how much the danger- | ous condition of Saturday yesterday had set the patient's recovery back, Mr. Crump said: “Not much. well now that Ido not think that the relapse | has set him back more than two or three days.’ | Everything at the White House is fast resuming the condition previous to the relapse. j forgotten, however, that the President | may be still the subject of such relapses as the one from which he is now recovering.

Agnew and Hamilton | regard his present condition as satisfactory will reassure many. Dr. Bliss Very Hopeful. HE SAYS THE PRESIDENT’S CONDITION IS NOW CHEERING, INDEED. Dr. Bliss said to a Srar reporter: “The con- dition of the President is now cheering, indeed. His fever began to decline yesterday, after the operation upon him, and he has continued to improve right along.” “ Doctor,” asked the reporter, “are you now satisfied that the cessation of the flow of pus caused the relapse?” “Entirely satisfied of it. That wasthe sole cause of thetrouble. There is no doubt about that * Then you think he will continue to improve certainly do. There isno reason why he should not. The discharge of pus from the wound through the new opening is free andthe pus is of a healthy cRaracter.” “Has the relapse weakened the President very much, doctor?” ot a great deal. The relief afforded by the operation was prompt and the improvement in the patient was soon visible. When we dressed his wound last evening we could readily see the changes for the better. dressing did not distress him as it did in the He felt better and stronger.
