BY HOLDING HIS OWN Such is About the Present Condition of President Garfield Another Incision Made in the Gland With Good Results Not Much Change in the Con- dition of the Wound The Apparently With the tion The Ship Wrecked Off the Florida Coast Exciting Scenes in a Railroad Train Near Albany Ohio State Ex- plosion at New Haven Conn Over lives tost by the Hurricane Near vannah Matters Interest From All Parts of the World THE PRESIDENT ANOTHER GOOD DAY WASHINGTON August president enjoyed another good night's rest and it is thought to-day starts out on what bids fair to be another good day He slept well The stomach still continues to perform its work satisfactorily and the parotid ing is favorably His pulse temperature and respiration as compared with yesterday morning iafe the same with a slight in- crease in the frequency of the pulse thought to be due to the accumulation in another portion of the ular swelling which was observed this by Dr Bliss who made still another incision and released the pus On the continuance of these favorable symptoms another day of progress is predicted r HOLDING HIS In reply to questions Colonel well said this afternoon that the to-day has about as it was yesterday He has fully held his own but has not ed perceptibly in strength No cial importance is attached to the height of the pulse as shown by the noon bulletin It is attributed to irritation caused by the cutting of the parotid swelling this morning As long Colonel well said as the gland continues to be a source of almost constant dis- we must expect these of pulse Since the noon bulletin however the president's pulse has gone down again to 110 We think that he is doing well NEWS FROM THE SICK The day at the executive mansion has been extremely quiet and un- eventful the news sick room being very gratifying inquirers Shortly after the midday bulletin was issued a ripple of excitement became noticeable owing to the rise of the patient's pulse to 116 The rise the attending surgeons said was due to the slight incision of the parotid gland made by Dr Bliss this ning They express the opinion that during the extremely enfeebled tion of the patient no importance can be attached to the slight fluctuations of his pulse The president ues to take his usual nourishment and during the day in addition to kumiss milk porridge and beef tea which he partook of freely he also ate another piece of milk toast with apparent relish The beef tea which he is now taking is prepared by Mrs Garfield from raw beef chopped fine to which is added a quantity of water and a few drops of muriatic acid The patient is said to greatly relish this food In conversation with Dr Boynton he said the trouble was much better and there was a large discharge from it this fore noon that there was not much change in the condition of the wound and that granulation had been re- but not to any great extent He considered the general condition of the pati nt ly as good as yesterday Dr Boynton added that while there has been no material gain of strength there may have been a slight ment There certainly has been a marked improvement since the recent continued the doetor and he now takes his food with as much ish as at any time during his illness Dr No marked change is expected at once All we can reasonably expect is for the tient to hold his own for a few days If he makes even a slight improvement it will be perfectly satisfactory In response to a question are there any symptoms indicating another the doctor replied that he had not noticed any such symptoms The interview con- cluded by the doctor remarking that the prospects for final recovery are very fair but in a case of this kina no one can say positively that the patient will recover therefore he could not make any definite prediction oa that point Late this evening Dr Boynton said were it not for the advent of mia in the president's case he would now be convalescent The stomach troubles of two weeks ago the lar complications the stupor and delirium the rapid pulse the loss of strength etc were all due to this cause The wonderful vitality of the president enabled him to the dangers and com- attending the wound prior to the occurrence of blood poisoning In case septic had undermined the very foundations of life producing a condition much resembling typhoid fever attended with stupor delirium and great prostration The processes of digestion and tion have been pretty much arrested so that although he partook of a amount of nutritious food he became greatly emaciated and ex- hausted The blood besides being vitalized had become more and more depraved on account of the failure of the system to food and transform it into blood The president has been laboring under the influence of this blood poisoning for some time and during the past week it become dent that unless a favorable change occurred his vital powers would give way The problem was now to sustain his strength until nature the poison If the blood poison con- to be eliminated and no more septic matters are absorbed the ident will slowly but surely regain his strength In his present condition impossible there may be a further absorption of septic matters bringing with it serious complications but it is confidently hoped such will not be the case No irreparable mischief has occurred to any of the vital gans and his recovery is more than probable ELAINE TO LOWELL The following was sent this Lowell Minister The president's condition has nol materially changed since my last dis- patch Another incision was made this morning in the parotid glanc with very satisfactory results Pus flows freely and the swelling grows less The pulse at this hour 2 p m is during the forenoon or on yesterday but on both days it is higher his other good symptoms would seem to warrant It is now 110 was 116 BLAINE Secretary The following was sent by Secretary Blaine at p Lowell Minister not rapidly ing is holding his own His fever is less than last night and his swollen gland steadily improves His pulse continues rather high running this evening 110 to 114 Perhaps the best indication in the case is that the president himself feels better and his mind being now perfectly clear he readily compares one day's gress with another BLAINE Secretary BULLETINS Executive Mansion August a president slept a greater part of the night awakening at intervals and the liquid nourishment administered His con- dition is about the same as at the same time yesterday Pulse 102 temperature 98 respiration 18 Executive Mansion August p the morning dressing another small incision was made in the lower part of the swelling on the right side of the president's face which was followed by a free dis- charge of healthy looking pus A similar discharge took place through the openings The swelling is smaller and looks better The wound remains in an unchanged condition and there has been but tle rise of temperature since morning but the pulse is more quent and in other respects the con- dition is about the same Pulse 116 temperature 98.9 respiration 18 Executive Mansion August 30 p president has passed com- through the day He has taken the usual amount of ment by the mouth with stimulating stated periods His rise of temperature this afternoon is a de- gree less than yesterday at the same time and his pulse is less frequent than at noon to-day The parotid swelling has been discharging more freely and is continuing to diminish in size Pulse 109 temperature 99 respiration 18 Executive Mansion August this hour the cians report no noticeable change in the president's condition since 10 o'clock p m He is now resting quietly Mansion August 31 a president has rested quietly since midnight sleeping most of the time At
