parOtid gland and wound was i'm
proving. He was somewhat wax
during the night, but not restless. and
slept sufficiently. The enemata and
stimulantS have been suspended for
the last thirty-siX hours. On the
whole the past twenty-four hours
have been evidence of favorable
progress.
Long Branch, O. General Swain
says the President passed a good
night, and his general condition this
morning is'as good as could be ex-
peeted. Heate some bird for break
fast and relished it. Fires have
been started in the cottage, render
ing it perfectly comfortable. Attor-
ne{-General MacVeagh feels enceu-
ragged, and looks for continued inn
provemGnt. There was no nausea
during the night. Thermometer,
90.
The immediate attendants upon
the President exhibit more decided
opinion that the Improvement is
likely to be permanent than persons
not SO intimately connected with the
case. The assurance Of those having
access to the Presidents room, how
ever, that the Presidents much bet
ter than before leaving Washington,
is very generally accepted and graft
flying. The morning, although cloudy
and hay, is cool and refreshing A
gentle breeze is blowing from the
sea. MacVeagh said he considered
the outlook of the Presidents case
very encouraging, and although
there was every reason to believe
the favorable condition would con-
tinue, he decided to wait a week or
ten days before entertaining the
idea that he is convalescent. st
present everything looks favorable,
and of course we hope what has been
gained will be maintained and added
10, but the difficulty is the PreSi-
dents blood is in an unhealthy cen
dition, and until he recuperat, 5
sufficiently to overcome any Lad
effects of blood poisoning, it is not
safe to be too sanguine. Hi lungs
are the most prominent danger at
the present time. Inasmuch as the
patient is experiencing some trOubl
with his throat, possibly the lungs
may be reached 10y impurities orig
mating from the parOtid gland
There is no indication yet that they
have been affected. We know his
heart is all right, and up to this
time there are no indications which
tend to show the lungs are not iii Ii
healthy condition.
ION the whole, you feel more Ell
couraged than before you left WASH
ington; do you not ~ OH YES.
There is no doubt the President is
much better"
General Swain said everything
looks better. 1t would probably be
difficult to point to anything par
ticularly as being greatly improved.
But the general character Of the
wound and the gland and the gen
eral condition OF the President are
more satisfactory than heretofore,
and everything looks favorable.
Everything is doing us nicely as
could be expected.
Senator's Logan and Chaffee are
still here. They called at Elberon
early this morning to ascertain the
President Sconditiun. Some comment
having been made about the move
ments of the ball in the Presidents
body, DR.. Bliss said, to-day, he an
ticipated no trouble from the ball,
and there were no unfaYorable
symptoms in connection with it.
100 p.m.-At this hour the Presi-
dent is resting quietly and appa-
rently sleeping. His condition is as
favorable as yesterday and no unfa-
vOrable symptoms have developed.
The President expressed a desire
this morning to see any members of
the cabinet who desired to call upon
him. Pulse 9S, temperature 96.4,

Washington. 9.-Secretary Kirk
wood has returned from Long
Branch. He says the President is
doing splendidly, and has gained |
more in the last twenty-fOur hours |
than any two weeks in Washington. |
at first the excessive heat told on |
him fearfully. Old residents never !
saw it hotter, and the physicians |
were very anxious; yesterdays cool |
breeze had almost an instantaneous |
effect, and the doctors said if the |
cool weather continues, and If no /
new complications arise, he will be |
out of danger in ten days. The
prospect is fine and the surgeons |
feel confident for the future. The
President relishes solid food. Had |
the hot weather lasted a few days |
more it would have killed the Presi-
dent. The surgeons deny that the |
lungs are affected by poison; the
lungs are sound and healthy. The |
secretary says everybody is full of |
hope and the President is delighted |
and sure o. recovery. The President |
there maintains thee ground he
makes, while here he lost it daily.
