MALARIA DISCOVERED.

MALARIA DISCOVERED.
/ NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Suns Wash
Ington special says. Evidence of malaria
was discovered In the sick chamber Of the
/ President, and DIR. Boynton to-day said there
| was no longer any doubts about It. The
sluggish condition of the wound could be
ascribed TO that, and he feared the malarial
fever might attack the President. II it
should do 50 now, the result would be fatal.
| The President could be removed at once II
everything was ready, and he thought he
| would be removed in four or five days, unless
there should meanwhile arise some new
complication.

TALK OF REMOVAL.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The President
had quite a long talk with Mrs. Garfield
about the matter Of removal this afternoon,
and arranged some of The details. She, of
course, did most Of the talking, the Presl-
dent signifying his assent or disapproval by
nod or a single word. 1t was decided that
no previous announcement should be made
Of the time fixed for the removal. DIR. Bliss
had suggested if 1t was generally known,
the result would be that the streets would be
crowded. The journey to Long Branch
would be by easy stations, aud by way Of
Monmouth Junction. One reason which had
much weight with Mrs. Garfield in selecting
Long Branch was that the place was conven-
lent for Drs. Hamilton and Agnew TO reach
To-day there was some apprehension
among the physicians about malaria, and this
"
posed to take Pullman car and run 1t up
over the street car track to the White House
entrance Oh Pennsylvania avenue, and have
the President carried down on q stretcber,
placed on 1t, aud borne by easy stages to the
seaside. IL, on q consultation of the sur
geons, there appears to be reasonable hope
that the removal can be made without risk,
the President will be out Of the White House
within week. ....
DR.. Boynton says he understands il Is de-
cided to remove the President before
Wednesday. There is proposition TO lay
trsck fIom Washington monument to the
Executive Mansion, connecting with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He said
the details are not arranged.
WASHINGTON, Sept. "A meeting of the
Cabinet was called by Secretary Blame last
evening to take place this morning at ii
O'Clock at the State Department. At that
hour all the members arrived and were
shown TO the Secretary's room. Macyeagh
telegraphed this morning to the President of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, asking
if special of six cars could be had over
that road for the use of the President, and
whether arrangements could be made for the
safe and speedy passage 10 Long Branch.
The reply was received that the cars could be
had at the shortest notice, and the road
would be cleared for the passage of the Pres
ident upon five hours notice.
General Sherman's hospital corps Is so
well trained to walk together that they can
carry man on a stretcher so gently that he
might hold glass full of water In his hand
without splitting q drop, and the sense of
motion Is so slight that should cloth be
placed over his face he would scarcely feel
the motion.
DIR. Bliss said tonight that the idea Of
running car up to the White House on the
street car track had been abandoned, since
eight men could carry the President to the
depot without any trouble. The depot is
about nItle from the White House.
