At 1 o’clock Secretary Wlmlom said Dr.

LESS ANXIETY. .
The fueling of anxiety’ which' prevailed
yesterday ut tho r .White House and through
out tho city had disappeared this morning.
There Is no bettor barometer to Indicate tho
Presidents condition tlnurtho ways of those
aboil I thd White House and the general,air
that tho place wears. By thorn the eye can
tell nt once whether things are favorable or
unfavorable, without asking a question. This
morning everybody was bright ami cheerful,
—the reflex from the sick-room and the opin
ion of tho doctors. Nobody-was'gloomy,
nobody wore tho"anxious look of yesterday.
Tho happy change had its‘effect In that there
was very little Inquiry ns to the President’s
condition, nnd (taco more the doctors came
from tho sick-room without being seized on
by thirty or more people who have been wait
ing for Just such an opportunity-to hear
from tho sick-bed.
DIW. UEYItUIIN AND. BUSS
were with the President nil lust night. They
took little imps, as the President slept
soundly. Dr. Bliss said this morning, ns he
came out of tho'sick room, that everything
began to look 'bright again, When asked
about the appearance of tho wound when
dressed tills morning, ho said that there had
heciui good discharge, what'ho called tm
nmisiml discharge, of tins. Tho flow limt
not been ns grunt* ns before the ‘pus envity

discharge In themcantthio being a smalt con
thinous flow, discharge this ftidrnUig,
Dr. Bliss said, though not large, was satis
factory and hciYUhy. The President passed a
very good night', getting a good deal of sleep

When tho cotton was removed from tho

continuous discharge that was so satisfac

Dr. Agnew will return. Either Dr. Agnow
or Dr, llanillloif will be with the President
from new on until the indications are such
us to show there is no necessity for their

everything shows that danger from steppage

m.OOD-I’qiSONINO NOT FKAIIKD. !
While waiting for the appearance of tho
oilier surgeons this morning, J)r. Bliss said:
“Pyannlahns liot shown Itself; and, hr my
opinion, never will. Tho occurrence of tho
chill mid other symptoms attendant upon
creation of lliu~ abscess, being very' nearly
like those which would Indicate tho
beginning of blood-poisoning, excited tho
fears of some: that the hitter had oc
correct. I never thought so, although I
knew It was possible. There wej-o none of
tho conditions favorable to blood-poisoning.
The patient’s system was a* healthy ono-to

on tho fact, Umt the operation which

ThU was made as soon ns the consulting

oC the matter now having to tmvorso the

of the ball after tlm rib was struck, It cun bo
