(Signed BrAINE, Secretary. THURSDAY'S BULLETINS. OFFICIAL, WasniNGTON, July 28, 9 a. m. The official bulletin just issued gives the presidents condition at 8 a. m., as foilows: The president rested well FAVORABLE PROGRESS, WasmiNaron, July 28.—The fav- . | orable progress of the president con- tinued without interruption during the night and thirty hours have elapsed since he has experienced a feb- rile rise. He slept soundly during the night but was wakeful after midnight, although not restless. From his re- marks to attendants it is evident he was feeling much better. He had for breakfast juice of steak and the usual beef tea.. Dr. Hamilton was present when the wound was dressed this morning. Pus wvas found to fiow freely, and all conditions are as favor- able as yesterday. The physicians in 4 | consultation this morning copsidered the advisability .of transferring the Krenidenb to another room, not that is room was unsafe but that it would be a good thing to renovate it. As the bed couldbe rolled through the door without disturbing the president, it was decided to do as suggested. He was informed of the proposition and seemed glad to have the change. The doctors surrounded his bed and pushed it through the door, across the hall and into the extreme north front room. This room is known as the ‘Nellie Grant Chamber.” It is large and airy, and from the present position of the bed he has a view of the war and navy buildings through the west windows, across Lafayette Park to the north. The carpets are all taken from the other room, which ‘is being cleaned. The president is much pleased with the change and was doing nicely during the morning. TEMPORARY REMOVAL. WasninaroN, July 28.—The re- moval of the president to another room is only a temporary arrange- ment. As soon as the old room has been renovated the bed will be re- turned. The president slept for an hour or 80 in the new room this morn- ing. Dr. Boynton says thu(}miuuc 18 getting better every day and will be outof bed in ten duys. The regular physicians are more guarded and con- tent with saying the president 1s do- ing nicely. FAVORADLE SYMPTOMS The entire day the president’s symptoms continued favorable. There has been no remewal of the fever or marked changes, DR. HAMILTON gives reassurance to the president’s family, friends and the general pub- lic. The president was moved from the sick room to the adjoining room by Dr. Hamilton's advice, so that the room, furniture and appurtenances could be thoroughly ventilated. The president enjoyed the change and rested well afterwards. Dr. Hamil- ton will remain until relievedby Dr. Ag- new to-morrow. The doctors are reti- cent but express entire confidence as to the president’s ultimate recovery. There may be a further relapse from time to time through accidental causes. The sickness of the presi- dent has made but slight difference in the progress of routine of public business. Only twelve appointments of postmasters have accumulatea since the shooting. Secretary hirkwcod says the only difference in the interior department is that a few minor officials who would have been turned out are enabled to remain in office for awhile. These are mainly Iudian agents. Judge Kelly (Pa.,) called on Mrs Garfield to-day. Dr. Hamilton telegraphed to his wife that the president was looking better than at any time since he was shot. IMPORTANT SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS, New York, July 28.—When Dr, Hamilton returned from Washington after his last visit he ordered made an improved electric probe and other special surgical instruments, The electric probe has a bell attached so that when the head of the probe comes in contact with the ball the bell is sounded and the location of the ball fixed. Dr. Males, surgeon-general of the navy, recently ordered an antiseptic atomiser, which is used particularly in cases of gun shot wounds, in a steam apparatns, to blow a fine spray of sali- ted | cylic acid as a dressing on the wound. 1t is arrrnged with an aleohol lamp and a flexible spray tube destroys the floating spores and heats the wounds without the formation of pus, THEZFIRSTYFEBRILE RISE in thirty-six hours began in the presi- dent's case between 5 and 6 p. m., Fooms, vte., 1o rent or lease, Taxcs paid, rents collected, deeds, moy and all kinds of real estate documents “an short notice.
