condition of the president has not materially
changed since yesterday, although he was
thought this morning TO be little weaker
and less animated. There seems TO be o
growing impression smOng his attendants
that he is beginning 10 be unfsvorably afflicted
by the weather and by ,be mslsrious air
from the Potomac river flats Immediately
north Of the executive mansion. Rank vege.
ta,ion which is fertilized by the city sewer
age and stimulated by abundant water and
hot sunshine covers these fats during the
summer, and is now beginning to decay, and
since yesterday morning faint mslarious
mist has hung over the river from the
water front of the executive mansion
grounds to the bridge. Most every man who
has recently been engaged in the work of
improving tho channel of the river has been
more or less sick from malaria.
DR.. Hamilton said yesterday TO Col.
Crook, who took him for drive down the
bank of the Potomac 9ppOsise the flats that
the president had not much
mosphere as that carried by soulherly
winds every day from those fats 10 the win
dow of bis room, and that in his opinion the
necessity of removal is now urgent.
One of the attending surgeons said to q
friend this morning that the presidents
symptoms had, he thought, taken slightly
intermittent character within the past
few days. Wednesday morning he
seemed to be brighter, and
more animated, Thursday he was less so,
yesterday again WAS good day, and this
morning the patient seemed weaker and
moro lsnguid. He then, (the surgeon),
thought the president ought not to remain
here an hour longer than necessary, and he
would vote for a speedy removal. The
risk to be run In taking him away
wss not, in his opinion, as great
risk as of allowing him to remain here.
The patients condition has improved.a q little
since early this morning and is now about
the same as yesterday. DR.. Agnew arrived n
IL o'lcock to-day and formal consultation
Of the surgeons with regard TO the question
Of removal will be held this afternoon.
