tremely favorable, and which has
not been spoken about much as yet,
has recently appeared. This is the
almost entire disappearance of
sweating when he is asleep. When
he was iii Washington and for
day or two after he arrived here, he
never went to sleep without prOfuse
perspiration making its appearance.
Du ing the last week. however, this
has been steadily lessening. and
now when he wakes up his body has
natural moisture upon it and moth
ing more. This symptom is the
strongest proof of general improve
ment which has yet appeared, and
his physicians are greatly encour-
aged by it. 1t is said on good
authority that Doctors Hamilton,
Agnew and Bliss are privately of
the opinion that there is no doubt of
his recovery,
THE NIGHT.
ElberOn, 13.-At the morning
dressing, at $50, to-day, the temper
allure was 9S 4, pulse 100, respiration
20 He passed the night comfort
ably, sleeping until 3 am, when he
was wakeful for two hours, during
which time his pulse rose to I2O, but
without the marked elevation of
temperature which has character
lied the febriie rise heretofore.
AfteEthis time he slept till morn
ing More nOurishment was taken
during the night than for several
nights past.
Ia reviewing the case of the Pres
idpAt since his arrival at Long
Branch, it may be said, in spite of
various septic accidents which have
for several weeks and do still COM
plicate his case, that he has GER
tainly not refrigerated, but on the
contrary. has made some progress
towards convalescence.

Private Secretary Brown says the
President feels brighter this morn
ing. The weather is cool.
Long Branch, 15.-The President
passed a comfortable night and Bliss
says if he did not make good pro
greSS last night he is not competent
to judge. There was no foundation
for the rumor that an operation was
contemplated to relieve the lung.
AgneW also denied the story. The
first he had heard of it was in the |
morning papers. Bliss goes to New |
York FOR few hours to-day. Ham
lltOn yentured an opinion on the |
President chances of recovery to a |
friend this morning, which briefly |
stated, is in substance, that the sep |
tic poison in the Presidents blood |
will necessarily cause fluctuations of
the pulse, temperature and reSpira-
ton from time to time until it is
eliminated, He considers it
safe to say the President will over
come the disturbances which may
occur, from impurity of the
blood, but it is altogether proba-
BILE that various annoyances
will be Occasioned before the patient
is entirely rid of blood poison. He
believes the President will even
tually overcome the effects of
poisonous blood, and as that is &C
his reeuperatiOn will be
more rapid. 1t will probably be
i've weeks, according to present
Indications, before he Ican give any
ground for believing the
President would ultimately recover
md be as well as before he was
hot.
