A High Fever of an Intermit- tent Character Sets in. The Doctors at a Loss to Un- derstand Why the Fever is Intermittent. Dr. Agnew Removes Several Pieces of Rib From the Incision Made on Sunday, The President Bears Up Brave- ly Under the Oper- ation. ‘The Medical Men Generally Reti- cent About the Prosi- dent's Condition. INCREASB OF FEVER. ‘WasniNgrox, D, C., July 26.— As indicated in this morning’s bul- letin the last hours of the night were not so comfortable for the president vntil the midnight fever gradually subsided. The indications then were that he would remain comfortable. Soon, however, was noticed a quick- ening of the pulse. Dr. Woodward, who was at his side, found that the fever was increasing. Dr. Bliss was aroused and the two physicians watched the patient. There appeared to be slight symptomsof a ‘‘rigor.” But for a moment, however. No chill followed. The fever continued until 3 o'clock this morning and then again subsided. Again when the doctors came for the morning examination they found he ad relished the usual nourishment and his condition was apparently as good as yesterday morning at the same hour. Dr. Agnew was present when the examination was made. It is smd the pus is still flowing satisfactory, but nothing can yet be learned this morning as to how much its character is improved. THE CONSULTATION OF PHYSICIANS in regard to the high fever of the president this morning resulted in the discovery that some operation must be performed te rewove some cause of irritation. Dr. Agnew said the discharge of pus was not as satisfac- tory, and the wound appeared clogged. The president was informed that another operation was necessary. He made no objection. Dr. Agnew then thought it was unnecessary to admimnster an emetic, but went to work at once. This was betweon 8 and 9 o'clock. He ex- amined the incision made on Sunday and putting in his finger to the dopth of abont three inches, found that the shattered pieces of rib discovered Sun- day had formed fan obstruction. He removed one piece about an inch long and several smaller pieces. This opera- tion was far more painful than the one performed Sunday, but the president bore it bravely and was greatly relieved by it The old tube was not returned, but a one was inserted through the new incision to the depth of nearly four inches, where it intersects the old portion of the wound channel, Thus the other end of the wound will be allowed to close up and heal as it will, while the full discharge of pus will be conducted through the in- cision. New dressings were applied and the fever at once subsided. The president is now as comfortable as could be expected underjthe circum- stances. He was greatly weakened by the operation, but Dr. A¢new says not dangerously. MR. CRUMP, who was with him at the tinie, says that the President grew pale, but there was nothing else about his face to show that an operation was being performed. Dr. Agnew is quite sure the fever was caused by the irritation of the shattered fragmenig-af the rib, new _ Since the removal pus flowed frecly, He is not certain that another cavity has been formed; does not think it likely. This afternoon the wound will bo dressed again and if the conditions remain_ favorable the physicians will conclude that they have struck the true source of all the latest mischief. A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT, The presideut’s pulse and tempera- ture are subsiding. He has slept well since the operation, and Dr. Agnew says the conditions are favorable. MORE THAN AN EQUAL CHANCE, New York, July 26.—Dr. Hamil- ton expresses the belief that the presi- dent.already had pyamis. Dr. Frank Hamilton arived from Washington this morning. He thinks the presi- dent’s chance for recovery more than equal, WHAT DR, AGNEW SAYS, Dr. Agnew was asked just before noon how many splinters of rib were taken from the wound this morning. “A dozen or fifteen,” was the reply. “You felt them with your finger?” “‘Yes, and pushed the battered rib back in its place.” “Do you consider the president’s cendition favorable?” ““Yes, decidedly favorable, He has slept nicely since the operatioa and is doing well.” It seems that the President fell asleep very soon after the wound had been re-dressed this fmorning. He slept easily and at one vime did not awake for half an hour. He has taken considerable nourishment this forenoon. By noon his pulse was be- low 100, and temperature normal. Dr. Hamilton has not_been sent for and it is not known when he will return, Dr. Agnew will conduct he rest of the examination to-day. TO MINISTER LOWELL, Wasmnarox, July 26, —Executive Mansion—To Lowell, minister, Lon- don: The president’s symptoms at noon to-day are favorable. Several pieces of shattered nb came from the wound while dressing it this morning. (Signed) BrAINE, Secrotary. — TUESDAY'S BULLETINS, Wasmivaron, July 26.—8:30 a. m. —The following official bulletin has just been issued: The president was somewhat restless during the night and the fover, which had sub- sided after our last bulletin, rose again about midnight and continued till 3 a. m., after which it again sub- sided. He is now about as well as yesterday at the same hour. Pulse 102, temgentun 98‘#, respiration 18, (Signed) D. W, Buss, J. Wi Barxes, J. J. Woopwarp, R. BURN July 26—10 a. m.—No change in the president’s condition since 8:30 a. m. The doctors are watching every nimplcm to determine, ifcgouibla, the cause of the intermittentcharacter of the fever. The dooctors do not seem to be quite clear as to why the fever is now intermittent. fore the relapse it came up. and subsided as regularly as clock work, Dr. Ag- new will watch the president closely. To-day the cabinot officers called as usual this morning and have now re- turned to their offices in the depart- ments. July 26—11 a, m.—Dr. Agnew has taken from the president's wound a piece of shattered rib an inch in length and other small particles. The resident bore up under the operation {:rnvely. He is now doing better. July 26—1 p. m.—The midday ex- amination has given no cause for alarm. The fever has abated and there has been no chill. The physi- cians are very reticent. 2:16 p, M. The president’s pulse is below 100, temperature and respiration normal. No reliable information as to the other conditions can be obtained beyond that, Dr. Bliss just told his son that at this hour they were more encouraged than at any previous time. Dr. Agnew said it seemed to be of lit- tle use to give anything to the press, for what was sent away did not reach its destination in safety. Reports have been received here that bulletins have been posted in New York City to the effect that a piece an_inch” long had been sawed from the rib that the bul- let¢ had been ' extracted, and a third that the president was dying. The fact is that a number of the shattered pieces of the rib have been extracted from the ‘wewwd and that the president is still very weak from the operation, hut that he is in no immediate danger. July 26. — 6 p. m.—The president has rested somewhat during the afternoon and is so com- fortable that Mrs. Gaafield has gone nding with Miss Mollie and Miss Sheldon to get air. o SN o S Body Found.

A St Paul Scandal. National Associated Press. 8. Pauvr, July 26,—Great interest 18 taken in this vicinity in the clerical scandal involving the reputation of Elder Atwater, a prominent Moth- odist minister, It is claimed that Atwater and a young lady member of his flock took a walk in a dense woods together, were followed, and discover- ed in a very equivocal position, The minister stoutly denies the charges of immorality. Advised to Cease Training National Associated Press rax, N. 8., July 20.—War- ren Smith retives from the acquatic field for the season at least.

New Youk, July 26.—Mrs, Catha- rine Behler kindled a fire in Brooklyn yesterday with a kerosene can, which exploded. She was terribly burned and died last night.

REASSURING. The Latter Part of Yesterday Shows an Improvement in the President’s Condition. Heo Takes Se;;ra‘.l -Q\liet Naps During Yesterday After- noon. The President Takes More Nourishment Yesterday Than for the Preced- ing Five Days. At the Bvening Hxamination the Discharge of Healthy Pus Was Satisfactorily Abundant. The Air Ahout the White House Thick Yesterday With Flying Rumors, Dr. Hamilton Does Not Think the Ball Entered the Liver. THE PHYSICIANS. WasHiNagToN, July 26.—The presi- dent’s physicians are evidently either greatly worried or exceedingly an- noyed. They have adopted a policy of strict reticence, Dr. Reyburn was asked at2 p. m. how the president was, “Doing well,” was the reply. “‘Is an operation to be made for the purpose of finding the ball}” “I can’t tell.” ‘‘But people think so, and are wild to know the truth?” “‘We tell the truth in the bulletins. Hereafter we shall endeavor to make them explicit and give no other - formation.” “Then the physicians have not decided that the ball must be cut out in order to save the president's life?”. ‘T can say nothing about it.” E «-Surgeon General Barnes was met a few. minutes later but refused to speak at all on the subject. Thus ret- icence has helped to gain ground for the impression already existing that the condition of the president 18 any- thing but encouraging. It is also re- ported that Dr. Agnew has advised the physicians to furnish to the public none but official informatign concern- ing the case. Prof. Bell, who is usually at the ‘White house much of the time, was not there this afternoon. In view of all the circumstances it is not improbable that an effort may be made to locate the ball by the use of the protessor’s induction balance. There is, however, no information of such intention, and there is no official authority for the statement in ciroula- tion that an effort will be made to re- move the ball as soon as it is suctess- fully located. ' MRS, DR. EDSON is authority tor the statement that the president was doing well during the afternoon, and that the new drainage arrangement was working well. Gon, Swaim said the same and regarded the president’s condition as better than it was yesterday. WILD RUMORS, It is the general opinion that the president’s physicians made a mistake in not announcing in the morning bulletin the facts in connection with the removal of the rib splinters from the wound. The bulletin said nothing about the matter, but it soon became known that something of that nature had occurred and in a fow moments a thousand ru- mors were afloat. One was that an insertion had been made for the purpose of extracting the ball. Another that it had been found necessary to cut off a picco of tho president’s rib, and also that the president was rapidly sinking from the cifects of the operation, These rumors flew around like wild-fire, and the excitement of the people was at fever heat. To add to it some noticed that the flag on the department of justice was at half-mast. This was on account of the death of Justico Clifford, but it was soon noised aboul that the prosident was dead. Extra editions of the cty papers quicted the furore before it be- came a panic. The excitement bo- came an anxiety on account of tre grave condition of thepresident. That he has been greatly weakened by the events of the last t{aw days no one un- dertakes to deny and itis equally cer- tain that the physicians are anxious and are not yot sure that the danger is passed.” Tye wilp rumors OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORN as at first_roported, by means of a surgoons finger and a pair of delicate forceps. The patient was eviduntly rolieved thereby and after the rib was straightened as 1t should be, the flow of pus improved. If Dr. Agnew con tinues to be dissatisfied with the dis charge, there is no telling what he willdo. The report that the bail must be removed at all hazards is without foundation. INFORMATION TO MINISTER The information that Blaine had at 1_p. m. was sent to Minister Lowell as follows: The president’'s symptoms are favorable Several small pieces of shattored rib came from the wound this morning while dressing it. (Signed) LOWELL, Secretary Braive, Secretary. THR WHITE HOUSE was almost deserted between 0 and 7 o'clock thisevening. The physicians did not all arrive before the latter hour, Agnew and Bliss being alone with the president. Col. Rockwell and Gen. Swaim were out riding. Mrs, Garfield and her daughter drove out to the Soldiers’ Home for some fresh air and the wild rumors having quiot- ed down no callers appered. The resident partook of his evening nour- ishment and ate with better relish than since the relapse. He had re- covered some of his strength and was in good condition when the evening examination begun. THE RVENING BULLRTIN was anxiously awaited by representa- tives of the press, and the officer who osted a copy on a tree by the White E{uuse, found quite a crowd collectod The favorable to hear the news. character of the official annoulicement rawsed the hope of desponding ones, and the crowd soon’ scattered. The signature of Dr. Agnew to_the bulle- tin wae also reassuring. The length of the bulletin was evidently in furtherance of the expressed inten- tions of the physicians to lot the bulletins do their talking, for not one of them would enter into an explana- tion of the events of the day. From all that could be learned the new tube had done good work, and the pus dis- charge was now proceeding to their entire satisfaction. MEMBERS OF THE CABINET and their wives spent an hour or so at the Executive Mansion. As all re- ports from the sick room continued favorable everybody was in good spir- its. The physicians talked about the case, but even to the cabinet were very guarded SECRETARY BLAINE TO MINISTER LOWELL. Secretary Blaine sent the following before he went home: LoweLy, MiNister 10 LONDON.— 10 p. m.—One of the attending phy- sicians says that the president's con- dition 18 more favorable to-night than at any time since last Thuraday. | (Signed) BraNg, N Sanciare Segrotury. * ym boLD AR MACHING ‘WasHaiNgToN, July 26.—Between 3 and 4 o’clock this afternon Dr. Ag- new paid a special visit to the cold air machine, accompanied by Dr. Wood- ward, and found the air entering the machine at 83 degrees and passing out at 52 degrees.. Twenty thousand cubic feet per hodr of “washed air at this temperature is supplied to the president’sroom. Po-day no further experiments wero made with Prof. Dell’s induction balance. 1f the pres- ident’s condition continues no effort will be made to find the ball at pres- ent. DR, AGNEW went home with Attorney-General MacVeagh, ana will remain here un- til to-morrow night, at which time Dr. Hamilton may return. Drs. Blies and Reyburn will remain with the president to-night, Ho slopt satis- factorily under the usual anodyne. Pulse and temperature continued to subside, and there were no signs of fever or chill up to 11 p. m., at which time the White House was closed for the night. TUESDAY'S BULLETINS, OFFICIAL, Eyscurive Mansion, July 26.—7 p m.—The president has done well during the day. At the dressing of the wound after the morning bulletin was issued o displaced spreulim of broken rib about half an inch long was removed. The track of the wound at this point was dilated and a larger drainage tube was inserted for the purpose of facilitating the dis. charge of pus. Since that time he has had several - quict maps, has taken more nourishment than ou_any of the last five days without gastric ir- ritation, and when the wound was dressed this evening the discharge of healthy pus was satisfactorily sbun- dant. ~ At noon his pul 106, temperature 98.4, respirati 7 p. m. his pulse was 104, tei 100.7, respiration 20, (Signed) Haves H, Acvew, D.

July 26, 9 p. m.— At this hour the president is* rosting quietly ., here is no noticeable chanve in his reached their cars gud were at once attributed to the press. Hence, the press were denied the usual frank statements of the physicians for the time being, and it was not easy to get authentic news during the afternoon, The rush at the White House outside of correspondents was not great. The cabinet officers paid no attention to tho rumors, probably being privately informed of the facts, MRS, GARPIELD HOPEFUL, Mrs, Garfield saw the president’s friend Treasurer Gillfillan at 1 p. m, ¥ | and said she understood the president was better sincemorning; that she felt yery hopeful notwithstanding all state- ments. It will be recognized that they are more guarded than formerly, Pus certainly does not flow as free as Dr. Agnew would like to haveit. The pieces of shattered rib undoubted] clogged it. There were extrac 0“3 piece o an e inch long an sever: small tiely without enlarging the muo:: condition since the official bulletin was issued, but if the pus discharge should increaso 1t wmay bo necossary to test the induction balance, and if the ball is discovered possibly w cut it out, The time has not come, how- ever, and none of the doctors at 6 p. m. thought such steps would be neces- uly 26, 10 p. m.—Dr. Woodward says the president’s condition is more favorable " to-night than at any time since Thursday, Executive Mansion, 12 w.—The }pmndunt passed the night without ever 80 far, and slept considerably, Condition favorable. T e DR HAMILTON. HIS OPINION OF THE CASY New York, July 206.—Dr. Frank H. Hamilton arrived in this city from Washington this morning and in an interview with a reporter of the Na- tional Associated Press said abscosses were not likely to occur again because ING,JULY 21, 1881, this one has occurred. The chances are more than equal that similar pouches will not be formed. This one had a special cause in an irregular projection of the frac tured rib. The presumption seems to be, from certain indications, that the ball lies in the right iliac fossa. It i doabtful _whether it entered perit oueun, Tdon't think it entered the livor. Chills do not indicate pyemia. A chill, if caused by ir ritation consequent upon a presence of confined matter t is_a sort of an alarm which nature sounds, and if not attended to nature will ovacunte tho pus in most cases without artificial aid. T believe that if nothing had been done in the presi- dent’s case the sack of pus would have burst within forty-cight hours, but wo helped naturo along. Chills occur whenoever pus gathers, and ceases when itis allowed to flow again. 'I'hero- fore, the chill in the president's caso should not cause the wholo country sorious alarm. When T left General Garfield last niqht‘ everything was otting along nicely. He did not fcnk at all like a phaema patient and was able to use his limbs freely and shake hands with a hearty grip. The fear ot paralysis is gm\lm{luus. VICE-PRESIDENT ARTHUR- National Associated Press. New York, July 26.—The report in the ity to-night that the condition of the president was critical and that Vice-President Arthur had been sum- moned to Washington, the agent of the National Associated Press called upon Vice-President Arthur. He said the report was false. Gen. Arthur has all along believed that the president would pull through and still believes he will racover. He is constantly in telegraphic communication with See- retary Blaine and other members of the cabinet, as well as with the presi- dent's private secretary and other members of Mrs. Garfield's house- hold, and is kept minutely informod of every feature of the president’s condition, That the suspicion is not altogether well grounded is shown by the fact that some telegrans sent Arthur are almost the same as those given to the public. The {-rusidunt'u private secretary at 8:30 this morning sent Arthur the following: ExecuTive MAnsioN, July 26.—To Vice President Arthur, New York: The president was somewhat restless during the night. The fever, which subsided after our last bulletin, rose againabout midnight7and continued until 3 a, m., after which it again sub- sided. He 18 now about as well as yesterday at the same hour. Pulse 102, temperature 98.4, respiration 18, [Signed) J. StANLEY BROWN. At 10:42 the secretary of state sent the following: Execurive MANsioN, July 26,.—To Vice President Arthur: The presi- dents condition is not eesentially changed since yesterday. Tempera- ture and respiration normal this morning. (Signed.) Jas, G. BLAINE. No doubtnews sentithe vice-presi- dent concerning the president’s condi- tion is wholly accurate and the above telegrams show that the public haye been getting exactly tho same information, General Arthur's friends admit that they now believe that the surgeons should at first have located and removed the ball, while at the same time they say Hamilton and Agnew aro fully competent to de- termine what is best.
