MUCH RELIEF AFFORDED THEREBY. THE PATIENT BETTER TO-DAY. See SS The President's temperature was higher Sat- urday evening than it has been for some time. It caused a good dealof uneasiness. Yesterday the anxiety was deepened by the fact that the temperature was higher than usual and con- tinued higher. The afternoon fever came on earlier and kept up longer. Dr. Hamilton, who had made his arrangements to leave the city at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, remained over on ac- count of the unfavorable condition of the Presi- dent. The doctors were very reticent last even- ing, but there was no difficulty in ascertaining that apprehensions were again felt for the safety of the President. It is thought by some that another pus .cavity has formed, and it is feared it may be near the bullet. The fact that a pus cavity had been formed was not estab- lished last night. Preparations were made for an operation. A SUPPLY OF “RIGORLINE” was obtained. Rigorline is a petroleum pro- duct, very volatile and explosive. It is used as an anzsthetic to deaden pain when there is to be anoperation. It is used in the spray form, and is much more powerful than ether. The President Better This Morning. The President passed the night most comfort- ably. The rise of fever went down, aud the slumbers. The wound this morning presented a very healthy appearance. Atthe morning exami- nation it was dressed, and the discharge of pus was free. Apparently all that had accumulated was taken out. The following bulletin was then issued : Official Bulletin—8:30 a.m. THE PRESIDENT BETT) THAN YESTERDAY a comfortable night and | slept well, without anodyne.

Hay & v. we Examination, Consultation and Another Opera- tion, After the bulletin was issued the physicians made a thorough examination of the President. The cause of the febrile rise of yesterday, which created so much anxiety, was decided to be due to the fact that there was some difficulty in draining the wound through the incision made | by Dr. Agnew at the first operation. ‘The track of the original wound to ‘the pus cavity which was cut into some time azo has almost entirely | healed. It was decided that another incision should be ma so that the pus could flow | downwards under the rib, instead of the | tube, having an ascending direction. This j Was what caused the irritation and fe- ise, the passage of the pus becoming ob- structive somewhat by the fact that it had to ascend a little. A new opening was made on It was a continuation ¢ the first incision. The flesh was below the rib, and then the ent | connected with the former incision. A new drain- £71,743.

The wound had been drained before the operation was performed.

The doctors are | much pleased with the operation, and think it | will be very beneficial towards recovery. While every operation performed is a strain on the President, it is not thought that he is any worse now or that there is ‘any great danger to be finally apprehended. The electrie probe was not used to-day. There is no intention of u it. No probe has been used on the President | since he lay at the depot. There is no intention of cutting for the ball.

Holding tliisiinstrument in the wound, as a guide, Doctor Agnew them made a counter incision below the twelfth rib, cutting directly through the int it until his knife met the end of the first ned instrument at the noint where he wished to intersect the track of the ball. The operation was not a difficult or dangerous one, and the patient bore both it and the etherization extremely well. There is now an opening to the deeper parts of the wound, which does not re between the ribs, and whieh can always be kept free and un- obstructed, and no further trouble from the accumulation of pus is anticipated. Since the operation the President hag rested quietly, and is now asleep. His pulse at this hour is 100, and he has neither fever nor any other unfavor- able symptom. CONFIDENCE AGAIN BANISHES ANXIETY. There were more peoplé at the White House this morning than has been usual for the past two weeks, All the members of the Cabinet whoare in the city called. There was an in- creased number of inquiries about the President duiing the morning. The reassuring news which the doctors gave had the effect during the afternoon of making the White House asde- serted almost as it was last week. The slightly bad news of last night gives place to-day to the most encouraging reports, WHAT DR. HAMITTON SAYS. Dr. Hamilton left on thé 2 o'clock train for New York. He stated to a Brar reporter that he left the President yveryeomfortable; that the operation was made to an opening for the pus below the rib, to give petter drainage, and was entirely successful. THE PRESIDENT WAS RALLIED from the effects of the operation this afternoon. He is doing very well and the doctors say that they are satisfied with his condition. Dr. Ham- ilton went away this afternoon. Before leaving he said that he was very well satisfied with the President’s condition sinee the operation was performed this morning. ‘There is no cause whatever for alarm,” he said. Dr. Agnew re- mains, and will not leave until Dr. Hamilton re- turns. : 3 P. M.—ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM THE SICK ROOM. At 8 o'clock there wat no change for the worse. The President has slept. some during the after- noon, and is doing well. Everybody about the White House is cheerful, and the reports from the sick room are all of the most. encouraging character. THE MAN WITH THE SUCKING BOTTLE, to remove pus from wounds, turned up again to- du He looked at the bulletin announcing the performance of the operation this morning. which was posted onthe treein front of the White House gate. “They have had to ent into him again,” hte satd. “J offered them an apparatus by means of which they could take that pus away without any trouble. But they wouldn't have it. I am done with the whole business,” and the pus bottle man walked away. THE ELECTRIC PROBE. Prof. Tainter was summoned to the White ise. yesterday afternoon to consult with the physicians in regard to the nse of The electric probe is a flexible tube about twelve or fourteen inches long, through which ye flexible wires run, which are attached to an indicator, the end of which is inserted into the wound. Tn endeavoring to locate a ball the in- strument is gradually pushed forward, following the channel into which it may be inserted until it reaches an obstruction. “As soon as the ball is reached by the probe the indicator is affected, and the result is at once apparent to the pe forming the operation. The perfect flexibil- ity of the instrument enables the operator to follow the course of the chgnnel very minutely, and while there is nothing to give an indication bali bea it is thought that if one existed it might be discovered by an insertion of the instrument, inasmuch as’ the tube is liable to enter a cavity from the direct course of the wound, in whith event it would of course resist the pressure of the operator with- out announcing its contact with the ball. SUNDAY'S BULLET EXEcvTIvE Manstox, August 7, 8:30 a.m. Shortly after the bulletinvof last evening was issued the President fell into a pleasant sleep, during which the febrile rise subsided and was no longer perceptible when he awoke at 10 p. m. Subsequently he slept. well, though with occasional breaks during the rest of the night. No morphia or other anodyne was administered. This morning he is in good condition, although the effects of the febrile disturbance of yesterday ¢ still slightly perceptible in pulse and tem- perature. At present his pulse ts 96; tempera- respiration, 18. KH. HAMILto Buiss. J. K. Bary J. J. Woopwarp, Rost. Reyscrn. EXeceTive MAxstox, 7 p.m.—The President has been comfortable during the day, although his temperature began to rise earlier than yes- terday and rose almost as high. At half-past twelve p.m. his pulse was 104, temperature 100, respiration 20. “At seven pau. his pulse is 104) perature 101.2, respiration 20. Nevertheless he has been able to take nourishment as usual, has had several refreshing naps during the day; the discharge of pus has been liberal, and is healthy in character. FRANK H. HaMIcton, J.
