THE PRESIDENT, STEADILY IMPROVIN¢ Wasamatox, D, C., July 25.—The reassuring character of the official bul- letin this morning proved a solace to many auxious hearts and business in the departments and streets ot the capitol resumed its wonted state The improvement that followed the sur- gical operation continued steadily during the night The president slept as well as before the relapse and atone time did notfwakenfor an hour, and a quarter. ¢ was given beef and tea ormilk nourishment at intervals of three hours and took each succeeding allowance with increased relish. The usual febrile rise began to diminish be- fore midnight and at that hour he had no fever, and had none at all during the night. Neither was there any slight recurrence of chills. The preliminary examinationof the patient showed: Pulse 98, normal respiration and temperature. The wound was un- dressed at 7:30 o'clock, Dr. Hamilton and the four attending physicians being present. It was found that the discharge of pus had continued free during the night, flowing entirely through the new opening. Its charac- ter showed improvement and eyery- ~ing appear:d to be working satis- factorily, The, patient was feeling much better than fcuterdny in every way. Heexpressed himselfas, ““casier,” and asked how tne wound was pro- gressing, - Dr. Bliss said “‘nicely,” and the president returned a smile of satisfaction. He preserves hjs cheer- fulness and inspires all who see him with new hope. Col. Rockwell says he looks full as well in the face as at any time since the shooting. After the fresh dressing was applied the out ward indications of the case noted. The pulse had fallen to and temperature and respiration re- mained normal. The examination did not cause the usual acceleration of the pulse. The president had more beef tea for breakfast and at 10 o’clock he was resting quietly and said he felt| comfortable. THE DOCTORS, Dr. Hamilton will remain at the White House to-day. * He stated after the morning examination that the prosident had made good progress éuring the night and there was reason for a more hopeful toeling * this morn- m% r. Reyburn says they all feel better. Dr. Woodward says nothing and Dr. Barnes scems greatly pleased that there was no recurrence of chills, All the cabinet officers called this morning but remained only a few mo- ments, PASSING A COMFORTABLE DAY. The president is passing a comforta- ble day. There has been no return of the chills, nor has there been any indications of unfavorable symptoms. The mid-day examination is about to begin. ENDORSES THE BULLETINS, Dr. Hamilton, who has been at the White House all morning, refuses to say anything of the president’s condi- tion beyond endorsing the bulletins, There been no chill in thirty-six hours, and the ‘‘rigors” have sub- sided. Dr. Agnew returns this even- ing, when Dr. Hamilton goes to New ork. CHEERING NEWS, WasuiNaroN, July 256.—Secretary Windom made a hurried call to the White House this morning. He was furnished with a copy of the latest bulletin, and, as he expressed him- self, ‘It was 80 encouraging that 1 did not think it necessary to make further inquiries.” Another evidence of renewed confidence is in the fact that the president’s sons resumed their studies to-day. Mrs. Garficld, too, is more cheerful. 8he has not been at all despondent, but was very anxious until late last evening. The president, while undoubtedly weak from a covious discharge from the wound, and from a chill “aud fever, is much stronger than people be- lieve, and ls able to move him- self about in bed a little. He can move his leg up and down at will. He has not had any regular meal since Friday. His condition was 80 critical since that time that his usual breakfast had to be discontinued. The only feed now given him is beef tea, beef juice and milk, and at times water, which is taken at intervals of three hours. Considering the serious crisis through which he has passed, his appetite nufi all his bodily functions are in comparatively good order. His OMAHA DAILY V'I"UICSlr))r\til\lOI:NlV OMAHA continued favorable progress during the day has been particularly en- couraging to the physicians, all of whom now hope for still greator im- provement without serious drawbacks. Sacretary Windom had an interview with Mrs. Dr. Edson this afternoon, who was at the president’s bedside all morning. She said everything was going splendidly and all are hopeful. A COPIOUS FLOW OF PUS, The diurnal fever of the president light this afternoon and was not over severe, and no chill was experi- enced during the day or evening, so that it is nearly 48 hours since the patient had a “rigor.” Dr. Hamilton was with the attending physicians when the evening examination took vlace. The flow of pus was copious, Pulse 110, temperature 101.8, respira- tion 24. The president was given less than one-eighth of a gramn of morphia and passed the hours until after mid- night resting with reasonable comfort and sleeping much of tho time. Members of the cabinet, with their wives, spent the evening at the White House as usual, but retired at 10 o'clock. This was due In a great measure tothe assurances given by Dr. Hamilton before going home. He saia the high pulse and temperature denoted by the evening bulletin need cause no alarm The condition of the patient warranted such circumstances without their indieating anything dan- gerous, All outward indications would soon subside, and in fact they did, for by 11 p, m. his pulse and temperature wero both below 100 He assured Attorney-General Mac- Veagh that there was not the slight- est reason why he should re- main, notwithstanding the fact that Dr. Agnew’s arrival had been dclayed several hours by fire in Wilmington. Dr. Hamilton ac- cordingly took the train for New York, with the understanding that he would roturn to-morrow or Wednesday un- less sent for sooner. DR. BLISS makes no secret of his hope. The af- ternoon examinatlon had shown only a_favorable change since morning. He said, in answer to a questson: “‘The president is now on the same plane he was three days ago, before the first “‘rigor’ manifested itself.” ‘Do you think malaria had anything to do with the chill?” ‘‘Not in the least. There are no evidences whatever of malaria in his symptoms.” DR. HAMILTON will leave for New York to-night and it is probable Dr. Agnew will go to Philadelphia to-morrow morning. Judging from the present favorable state of the president’s case it is not likely that their presence will be re- quired any further. They will, of course, be promptly advised of the case and the attending physicians will always have the benefit of theirknowl- edge and skill in all extreme cases. “Dr.,” asked the reporter, “‘are you more satisfied that a cessation of the flow of pus caused the relapse?” “‘Entirely satisfied of it, That was the nature of the trouble. There is no doubt of it.” ““Then you think he will certainly improve now?” ‘I certainly do. There is no rea- son why he should not discharge pus from the wound through the new aperture,” Dr. Bliss, who has just come from the sick room, said that the rise this | evening was due to the wear and tear of the day and the accumulated pus which was removed at the evening dressing. The president is resti well at 8 o'clock. DR. BLISS INTERVIEWED. The agent of the National Asso- ciated Press had an interview with Dr, Bliss to-night as follows: *“Do you feel, doctor, that the pres- ent condition of the president permits alively hope?” ““Yes, we are all hopetul. He is much better than yesterday and bet- ter than for several days. The high pulse and temperature to-night and temporary fluctuation was caused par- tially by the excitement of dressing the wound, and the fever is now sub- siding, Pulse 100, and the tempera- ture cannot be more than 100, ‘‘Can you give an idea of the pres- ent strength of the president com- pared with his condition before the relapse?” “Not a close comparison, He is strong enough, however. There 18 no danger about that. He was not greatly weakened by the relapse.” ““What does he eat now?” ‘‘Principally beef tea, two ounces, and milk, He relishes all he takes. Hisstomach is very sensitive, although enerally a very healthy man.. He is often troubled with indigestion and we are now very careful w!fmt we give him.” TO MINISTER LOWELL, WasHiNaron, July 25, ~The fcl- lowing cablegramn was sent from the beine tendered, dnd mocepting, a j eship on the supreme bench.” There is not a word of truth in the report,” answered Conkling. “'T was tendered a chief justiceship during President Grant's administration. and declined it. Rest assured I shall not accept a position even if tendered me. CONKLING CALLS, Wasnizaron, July 26, — Ex-Scnator Conkling, of New York, and Scnator Jones, of Nevada, ealled at the White House at 1:16 p. m. and were ushered by Private Secrotary Brown into the cabinet room, where they remained some time in conversation with the physicians, Mr. Conkling asked to see Dr. Iliss Both geatlemen expressed a desire to hear a statement of the president's condition direct from the physicians, Mr. Conkling especially. 1o said many conflicting reports had exercised him so much that he thought it would be best for him to eall in pe and n the truth, Dr. Bliss inforined him that the condition of the patient was very favomble. To-day every- thing was progrossing. No further trou- ble is anticipatedy¥or the present at least. They remaified in conversation for about fifteen minutes before they took their leave. Before do- ing so Mr. OConkling desired to have expressed to Mus. Garfield his heartfelt sympathy and best wishes as wellas ‘the pleasure it gave to learn of the president's im- proved condition,. Both gentlemen shook hands with Dr. Bliss and Mr. Brown and were shown down a pri- vate staircase to their carriage. In reply to a question of the correspon- dent, Conkling said he did not know how long he should ¥emain in the city and could not sa; ther he would again call at the te. House Defore his departure. The carriage was then driven down the avenue and to the res- idence of Senator Jones on Capitol hill. MONDAY'S BULLETINS.

CONKLING, AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM, WasniNaron,July 25, —An evening paper publishes an interview with ex- Senator Conkling to-day, peginning with the question what his future course would be in the political world. Conkling answered: “I am done with politics now and forever, This fight 18 over, and T shall hereafter ds- vote my time and purpose of my life to ry law practice.” ‘“Is it not true, senator, that you will enter the next presidential race,” “No,’* replied the senator, ‘‘no, most emphatically.

A number of merchants of Vera Cruz have sent agents to port Anton to secure a refusal of the land in that locality in anticipation of its becoming an important commercial port.

All the Principal Roads Bast of Chicago Involved. No Prospects of an Early Settle- mont of the Diffioulty. National Associated Pross New York, July 25, ~The passen- ger agents of the trunk lines adhere to Saturday’s rates to the west, which were 80 to Chicago £14.25 to St. Louis, and £8 to Cincinnati. Scalp- ers also maintain their stand, solling: at a reduction of a dollar under the regular schedule. There has been no change in emigrant fare, and it is not. expected that there will be until a further cutting of first-class passenger rates shall have been announced, when it is expected that a genoral lowering of rates all along the lines will follow. It was rumored during the forenoon that an effort was being made to patchup theeast bound freight. tight, but it is believed to be onlyfaru~ mor, since no meetings of trunk line managers have been held and none have as yot been called. New Youx, July 20. —There is less. likelihood of a ceasing of hostilities between the warring passenger ticket. ents than two days ago. The Now York Central has been forced in- to the contest, and to-day a reduction to §) was ordered, and a play card i8 being placed up that the New York Central and Hudson River road wil sell tickets as low as any other line. This road has held off thus far, and has demanded one dollar more than any other road for first-class fare. It appears that éarly this morning the Grand Trunk railway company placarded all fences, advertising tickets to Boston at $5. As this came in close contact with the New York Central, an order was given to reduce below 80, and later in the day o further redueticn to §8.60 was made. About 4 p. m, the Hoosac Tunnel and Boston & Albany routes reduced to 85, and consternation was caused i the New York camp. Samuel M. Carpenter, eastern passen— ger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad sat in his oftice awaiting the action of the other trunk lines, and prepared at a moment’s notice to establish a $6 rate to Chicago. He claims that the war was originated by the New York Cential, nns that scalpers have been furnished with tickets at a reduction b{ the Erie & Baltimore. To use Mr. Csrpenter’e telegraph language: ‘1 propose now to give them a full dose of cheap fares.” Rates at b p. m. to-day were as follows: Scalpers to Chicago, §8; to St. Louls, $13; to Oincinnati, $7.50; to Washington, $b; to Buflalo, §6; to Cleveland, $6. il 85,000,005, 50,000 v | Regular fare fifty cents more. The new tickot issned by the Boston dn what 18 Cealled w bate coupon, and completely destroys the occupation of the scalpers. The person purchasing a ticket pays tho accustomed fare and signs the i ‘I aceept this contract,’” s an order on a Chicago ticket office for a rebate of $10. Ar- ng at hus déstination the passen- ger must write upon the ba ‘“‘Re- ceived a rebate of £10.” This pro- ventsan intermediate sale of the ticket: to scalpers No money is refunded unless the order is presented. It is expected that a general order will be issued in the morning by the Penn- sylvania, New York Central, Erie, and Baltimore & Ohio to reduce first- cluss passenger rates to Chicago to $6 a rate scalpers cannot meet, except at. a heavy loss. Emigrant rates avenow in excess of first class fare. It is not improbable that a reduction in that direction will be made. - asion Ao R g Tk Treeend.
