The President passed an excellent night. The reduction inthe amount of the hyperdermic in- jection of morphine last night did notin the least interfere with his slumbers. He got along as comfortably under an injection of one-six- teenth of a grain as under the one-eighth which had previously been administered to him each night. This morning the President was cheer- fal and inclined to do a good deal of talking. He is allowed now to converse more than hereto- fore. His appetite continues to grow as he re- nourishment than on the day preceding. Dr. Hamilton was present at the exam- jination this morning. Tt was de- that it was unnecessary to adaily bulletin at noon, in view of the dent's’ steady progress.’ Bulletins will after be issued only in the morning and ing. There has been some comment by outside surgeons on the fact that the President's nd temperature have not been reduced to ir normal state. The attending physicians iy that the maintainance of those symptoms above the normal point is natural and to be ox- pected. They are kept up, they say, by the irri- tation to which the President is naturally sub- jected. Dr. Hamigon is the guest of Attorney ral MacVeach. He arrived last night but did not see the President, as it was deemed best not to disturb the patient, who was sleeping when Dr. Hamilton arrived. Dr. Hamilton will remain until Dr. Agnew returns, which will be either Saturday night or Sunday. ‘, 8:30 A.M.—THE PRESIDENT TO IMPROVE. NSION, August 4, 8:30 a.m. The President continues to improve. He slept well during the night, and this morning looks and expresses himself cheerfully. Another sat- isfactory day is anticipated. At present his pulse is 90, temperature 98.4, respiration 18. The next bulletin will be issued this evening, and hereafter the noon bulletin will be dis- | pensed with. Fraxk H. Hamitton, J. K. BARNES, D. W. Buss, J. J. Woopwarp, Rost. REYBURN. UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN, 12:30 P.M.—DR.BLISS SAYS THE PRESIDENT IS HAVING AN EXCELLENT DAX. Dr. Bliss authorizes the statement that the President is having an excellent day. The 12:30 examination has just been made with the fol. lowing result: Pulse 96, temperature and res- piration normal. The patient continues to take increasing quantities of nourishment, and is daily gaining in strength. All reports of unfa- vorable changes should be discredited, unless they have official authentication. The Presi- dent’s condition at this hour is better than at any time since his injury. 3 P. M.—ALL GOING RIGHT. At three o'clock this afternoon the President continued in his yery favorable condition. He has rested very comfortably during the day. DR. HAMILTON SAYS THE PRI WELL WILL RE S Dr. Hamilton was asked this morning by THE Srar reporter how the President was getting along. “He is doing very well, indeed, and is im- proving,” answered the Doctor. “You think he will get well, then?” “T think he will. Iam most certainly of the opinion that the President will recover.” “Do you find any change in his condition since you left him?” “Not much. He is better, but his general appearance is about the same. His face does not indicate any improvement. His face will not begin to assume fts natural appearance until we get him out on the Potomac.” “What time do you think it will be possible to move him?” ‘That I cannot say; I hope it will not be long, but could not predict how long it will be. It of course depends upon his progress toward recov- ery. Iam entirely satisfied with the progress he is making.” las the President been afilicted any by mal- aria? “Not in the least. Malana has not laid even the slightest touch upon him. He does not show the slightest symptom of it in his system, and there is none of it there.” “How is the wound doing ?” “It is in a very good condition, and looks very “Ts it healing in the remote portions?” “That I cannot say. We do not know that it is healing there. Without a better knowledge of the deeper portions of the wound than we now have we cannot say that it is healing there.” ; “Are there any signs that the ball is encyst- Ing 2” “T cannot say as to that. We do not know whether it is encysting or not.” WHAT DR. BLISS SAYB. Dr. Bliss said this afternoon that the Presi- dent’s tongue had a cleaner iook and the appe- tite for solids would develop rapidly when it was thought advisable to allow the patient more of that kind of nourishment and less of liquids. The President is sitting up to-day as usual, and is better now than ever before. The noon ex- amination was very satisfactory. It shows the pulse to be at 96 and the temperature normal. “Isthe President out of danger?” Dr. Bliss was asked this afternoon by THE Srar re- porter. ‘tI think that the President will recover, but he is not out of danger. I see I am quoted as seying | he is out of danger, but I never said any such & “Ig thet President getting stronger?” “He is increasing in strength some. Every day is now so much further towards final re- covery.” “Is the ball encysting?” ““We hope it is, bat do not know. The dis- charge of pus seems not to come from the ball, and we therefore hope that the process of encyst= on.” @ general improvement, is there “Yes; he has got a better pulse, his voice is better, and there isa general improvement all around. The President to-day is getting along about as usual, except that he is better than yes- terday. As I said before, each day is the better now. The President is at this moment better than he has been since the shooting.” “Is there any: truth, Doctor, in the statement. that the ball will have to be taken out before the ident can walk 2” Weeks stay._— | UNTRUTHFUL REPORTS TELEGRAPHED TO NEW YORE. ‘Gent's thin Bradley has gone to Bedford Springs for a short Wall street to-day got excited again and all re-| manner of rumors about the President's condi- sided by a little afer 9 o'cloék.:"Me hypodermic injection of morphine was *! last night from one-eighth to o1 ‘a grain.

HIS APPETITE IN A HEALTHY STATE—QUIET AND UNCONPLAINING. Guiteau does not suffer at sll from confine- ment. His appetite is more than good. He frequently asks for “more,” and gets it, as the policy of the warden of the Jail isto keep pris- oners well fed. His rations are taken to his | | cell, as in the case of all the prisoners, in a bi; | box. He has adapted himself to prison life, | | having learned considerable by previous expe. | rience in the Tombs of New York. He does not appear over-particularas to his food, the only point on which he insists beigg that he shall not be served with fat meat. So pieces of lean meat are parcelled out for tim. He velishes his food and seems perfectly contented with his meat, bread and coffee. All prisoners, it has been no- ticed, show a great interest intheir food. Din- ner is an event which breaks the monotony of their lives, and they begin to think about it and talk about it an hour or two {before it’s served. Guiteau is no exception to thisrule, and shows as much interest in his plain but wholesome fare as any epicure could in the moe delicious viands. ‘The attendants represent hhn as being one of the most quiet and inoffensive prisoners in the jail. Whenever he knows wiat is wanted of him he complies cheerfully an] never utters a complaint. He sleeps weil, ant does not appear attended to in his cell. His hdr is cut and his beard trimmed by an attendatt. Many stories get abroad as to what he says'or how he acts, but in most cases these are uffounded. a ees Government Bondholders.
