GEO. P. BEMIS’ 08, out GETTING BETTER. The President Passes a Quiet Day Yesterday. Dr. Agnew so Confldent That He Leaves for Phila- delphia. The President's Pulse, Respira- tion and Temperature Feduced. He is Giyen Nourishment at Different Times Yesterday and Retains it. No Vo‘nif.iug or Nausea has Now Occurred Within Forty-Hight Hours. Secretary Blaine and Other Members of the Cabinet Greatly Encouraged. The Latest Bulletin Reports the President as Sleeping, National Assgclated Pross A QUIET NIGHT, ‘WasHINGTON, August 18, — Mrs, Dr* Edson, who was by the president’s bedside until 4 a. m., had no occasion to disturb éven the colored messenger who was at her command, except to get the president a drink of water now and then during waking moments, GEN. SWAIM soon relieved Mrs. Edson at the bed- side. Segave him full assurances of the continued tranquility of the pa- tient. He had not, she said, been at all troublesome. There has not been any indication of vomiting or any nau- sea whatever. Mrs. Edson informed a watchman as she went toward her room that the president was getting better. From that time until 7 o'clock there was another season of extreme quiet about the private part of the mansion. Mrs. Garfield did not rise as early as usual, PRIVATE SECRETARY BROWN came down later; Attornoy General MacVeagh did not come down as usual; Dr. Agnew had his duster and traveling bag with nim. All these were straws showing that the wind was blowing favorably. 'he first conclusive evidence was Secretary Brown’s information, about 8 o’clock, that his pulse was 104, the best morn- ing pulse for several days. The bul- letin shows improvement and is good evidence that anotherstart has been made in the right direction, THE PHYSICIANS are satill further encouraged and the resident’s family have increased Knpe, Dr. Agnew,when he announced that he would return to Philadelphia on the 9:30 a m. train, told Mrs.Gar- field that there was no epecial need of him there now; Dr. Hamilton would remain, and that he would return in a few days, 1f not summoned sooner. He said the president was better even than yesterday, and that he felt per- fectly secure in going away. DR. AGNEW took the 9:30 train for Philadelphia, as he expected to. Private Secretary Brown drove with him to the depot. Dr. Agnew told him there was ground for great encouragement to-day, He is expected to return by to-morrow evening, as Dr. Hamilton desires to be in New York Saturday night. MR, POWELL, one of the president's door-keepers who has been ill with malaria, is again on duty. A printed story comes from the west to the effect that Dr. Bliss stamps all published interviews with him ~ as fabrications. This is a mistake. Except when there is no favorable news Dr. Bliss is always willing to talk candidly to those who approach him. The agent of the National Associated Press has had dozens of interviews with Dr, Bliss, some of them covering as much as an hour's time. He has also a collection of autograph answers to questions submitted in writing at all hours of the day and night. Dr. Bliss intends to claim nothing beyond the fact that some alleged interviews with him have been manufactured out of whole cloth. STEWARD CRUMP, the president’s old nurse, who was broken down watching by the bedside returned yesterday and is expected to resume duty to-day. He is not so well this morning and has had to re- main in his room. SENATOR BEN HILL says that there is a deep feeling of gloom in regard to the president’s prospects wherever he has been and that he was surprised to find such a hopeful feeling at the Weite Hou A CARD FEOM DR. BLISS, Wasuinaroy, August 18, —The agent of the National Associated Press sent a note to Dr. Bliss this afternoon asking if he wrote a letter credited to him in The Chicago Evening Journal of August 15th, in which he was said to refuse all conversation with corre- spondents and in which also all re- ported interviews with him were characterized as pure inventions and the inventors were said to be a “‘press gang” trying to make fools of the physicians. The doctor replied in writing as follows: ““In reply to your note requesting t> be nformed if the enclosed slip from The Chicago Evening Journal was written by me, I have to state Real Estate Exchange 16th and Douglas Street, OMAHA, NEB, that the lmrq;n{Jh is au entire fabri- cation and as only one of the many false and cruel attacks upon me made singe I have occupied the position as surgeon in charge of the president. I have not heretofore thought proper to make any public denial of these heartloss attacks upon my charactor and only do 8o now in reply to your note of this date because you soem to think it of sufficient importance to call my attention to it. (Signed) D. W. Briss. DR, HAMILTON has not thought best to enter into a detailed explanation of the character of the inflammation of the parotid gland, but has given repeated assur- auces this afternoon that it is not such as to alarm the physicians, DR. BARNES, after the issue of the noon bulletin, said the president showed marked im- rovement as compared with the same hour yesterday, and that the infam- mation was comparatively trifling RUMORS, Among the rumors this evening was one that the condition of the prosident’s body indicated a genoral bad condition of the blood. Another was that a prominent surgeon had predicted that this morning would shew ageneral outbreaking of pyaemia, One prominent physician, who had developed some opposition to the doctors earlier in. the case, says to- night that the attending doctors are right in their assertions that the inflammation is mnot pyaemis, There have been several cases in his practice where such inflamma- tfon resulted when the cirewmstanbes of the case have not allowed the pa- tient to take nourishment throngh the mouth. He explained it by saying that the parotid gland, sccreting, as it does, much of the saliva, must necessarily inflame if the secretion becomes too great, as saliva has no de- mand upon it unless food passes in the vicinity of its secretion. It does not seem natural to beliove that the continued abstinence of the president from taking food may have resulted in a sufficient detention of saliva to have provoked inflummation. This theory is further encouraged by the fact that now, since the resumption of natural nourishment has been better establtshed, inflammation has already greatly subsided at 10 p. m., and was causing comparatively slight annoyance. There were a few callers at the White Houso {o-night. Among those were Gen. Sherman, Justice Harlan and Judge Reynelds. The cabinet were all there at one time or another during the evening. The physicians gave them encouragement by saying that the stomach had be- gun to act so well and that the wound was continuing to heal. They recas- serted their statements that there was nothing of an alarming nature in the inflammation of the gland. SECRETARY BLAINE says to-night that he feels more en- couragement. Postmaster General Jamessays: ‘‘It looks brighter than ever.” Windom and other inembers of the cabinet expressed themselves as satisfied with the progress of the day. Drs. Bliss and Woodward are on duty to-night, an1 Dr. Boynton and Col. Rockwell divide the sick- room vigil. The president retained still more of the milk gruel this even- ing, and says it jis the best thing he has taken in many a day. His wife made it. Hq fell asleep naturally at9a. m. and did not awake for an hour. WHAT DR. REYBURN SAYS, Towardsevening one ot the surgeons was talking by telephone of the in- flammation. He said it was the result of the extreme debility of the patient aed should cause noalarm. The same surgeon stated that the president had not only partaken of koumiss several times during the day, but had parta- ken of milk gruel prepared by Mrs, Garfield. This nourishment was all retained without the slightest nausea. In conclusion the telephone stated that the president was doing fully as well as could be expected and was, in fact, getting on admirably, At7 p. m. Dr. Reyburn said that he was im- proving, ““How about the inflammation?” “It now causes less pain than ear- lier in the day.” “What will ve the end of it!" ““We hope to scatter it, but it may supperate. In cither event it need not cause any alarm, Of course it is a source of worry to the president, but the pain will not be severe after the first hour. It pains him less now. Mr. Boynton thinks the mflammation something more of septomania, not that it is an indication of blood poi- soning brought about by long prostra- tion, and which asserts itself now on account of the extreme debility of the patient,” THURSDAY'S BULLETINS. WASHINGTON, August 18, —8 a. m. —Drs. Bliss and Reyburn found it unnecessary to disturb the president for any purpose until the usual time of preparation for the morning dress- ing. The examination is now in pro- gress, All is found favorable as ex- pected, Dr. Agnew will probably re- turn home to-day, OFFICIAL, Exrcurive MANsion, August’ 18 — 8:30 a. m.—The president has passed @ very comfortable night, sleeping well the greater part of the time. There has been no vomiting, and the nutritive enemata are still retained. ‘I'his morning his pulse is slower and general condition better than yester- day at the same hour.

In other respects his condition is somewhat improved, and especially his stomachis becoming less intolerant. He has asked for and retained several portions of liquid nourishment, much more than he could swallow yesterday. Thoe nutra- tive enemata continues to be used with success.
