His progress is slow, but as long as no un- favorable “)'"‘ll’w"“ appear the doctors say all is progressing even beyond their expectation. NO UNFAVORABLE SYMPTOMS, With his increased pulse there was no increased unfavorable mew sym, toms. Every symptom was iu\'nrab{: and all but tKu regular sick room at- tendents went home in confidence. The president slept well hot as the night was, and suffered no great un- easiness. He took nourishment fre- han on the preceeding night. He talked but hittle simply because he knew it was best he should not, His naps were short principally, but now and then he remained asleep for a considerable length of time. iss Dr. Edson, whose watches at the bed- side were relieved by Cols. Rockwell and Swain, left the mansionsoon after daylight. - She said to one who met her that the president was doing nicely, His pulse has gone down gain and all symptoms are favorable. he doctors ‘came early and be- gan an examination at nine o'clock, At 7:30, p. m.

The president may not change his condition much for some time,” continued Gen. James, “but he will pull through all right.” Dr. Boynton, wholeft Mrs, Garfield at Long Branch, on receipt of the news of the Seath of the president’s uncle in Ohio, returned to-day. He reached the White House at 9a. m. and was wuch encouraged at the president’s condition, 11.10 a. m.—The cooling apparatus in the presidents room works nicely and he enjoys the effect very much, The president awoke at 11 and asked for more nourishment.

MORR CONVINCRD THAN RVER THAT THR PRESIDENT WILL OET WELL, Wasninoron, July, 8, — Public anxiety is certainly on the move here, but public interest is by no means less. People talk of nothing else. At the same time all is but hope, for the doctors even dare not have confidence. Dr.Reyburn said to-day that his hope was grounded firmér now even than yesterday, when he could see that the family were confident, and if ho knew any reason why they should not be he would certairly try to guard against a dangerous disappointment. RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY, Secrotary Windom has received from.the Union League club, of Chi- cago, through its president, copies of the resolutions of _ sympathy for the president and wishes for his quick re- covery. DENIES THAT DR, GROSS' CARD WAS NOT HONORED, Secretary Blaine spent almost the entire morning at the state depart- ment, not calling at the White House until noon. He thinks the president will recover. Secretary Blaine denics that the card of the eminent surgeon, Dr. Gross, of Philadelphia, was not honored at the White House, NOT ALLOWED TO CONVERSE. The president has refrained almost entirely from conversation to-day. Dr. Woodward said to him, “The course of the bullet is past the diaphragm toor through the liver. Every word you utter moves the diaphragm and disturbs the liver.” The president recognized the situation and said that he would not speak. The president was removed to-day from the bed he has been on to a nar- row one secured for the purpose, so that his attendants can more easily attend to his wants. In all probabil- ity he will be moved again this after- noon. A patent hospital cot was sent to Dr. Bliss from Boston, and was brought to the White House. It will allow the president to move aboutand change ]!lmsition without much exer- tion. He was moved from one bed to another without discomfort, and another moving is not likely to pro- duce any harm. =The following was sent to the widow of Gen. George H. Thomas: Dear Mrs. Thomas—Your letter of the 5th inst. is just at hand. It awakens associa- tions and feelings that I can't find ex- ression for in words. Iam glad to able to add that the president is do- ing nicely, gaining strength every hour and every hour increasing in hope. (Signed.) D. G.

Temperature and ulsation the same as at 8 o'clock, 0 change in any symptoms. 6:30 p. m.—District Attoruey Cork- hill who has just left the president, says that he is restlng nicely, and that the storm which is now raging has added to the temperature in the room and that the president feels more comfortable. 8 p. m.—The president is still rest- ing well. No change. %‘he following' dispatch was sent by the surgeons in charge to the two con- sulting surgeons: Execurive Mansion, July 7—1 p. m.—During the past tweuty-four hours the president has continued to improve slowly as was anticipated. A slight rise of temperature and a slight increase in the frequency of the pulse occurred during the afternoon and evening. At 8:30 p. m. the pulse was 104, temperature 100, respira- tion 23, But in accordance with this and diurnal movement.

It merely struck the sleeve, but what became of it afterward is a mystery. Tt could not possibly have passed out of the room, and yet both the walls have boen carefully examined. There is no mark of the bullet upon them. The room was carefully searched yot no traces of the ball, and the clothing of thopresident, was closely examimed, but ICH‘ 80 trace could be fonnd of it. The president’s bleeding was large- ly oxaggerated. The newspapers throughout the land were replete with accounts of how the elothing of his excelloncy was smeared With blood and the floor of the depot made slippery with it. Oddly enough, the president shed no blood. Atall ap- pearances there was a single spot of crimson_dyo on the inside of his vest. The wonud did not bleed.
