Shortly after IL o'clock there was Frightening
and an appearance of clearing. This continued un-
til about 2:30, when a driving eastery storm
set IN, which lasted nearly all the afternoon. To-
night the rain has ceased but the weather is
threa' ening and disagreeable.
The scene at Eberon o-day was of decidedly
gloomy character. The storm kept people in doors
and beyond the travel caused by frequent trips of
representatives of the press from the West End 10
the Eberon cottages for the purpose of ming
the latest news from the President, Ocean-ave.
peared to be deserted The day. so far the Presi-
dent Is concerned, may be summed up having
been very favorable one, .rts to the contrary
Notwithstanding In the language of one of the
immediate attendants the President has been
much better to-day compared with yesterday as he
was yesterday compared with Thursday In other
words he has made little gain. He has expressed
himself as feeling better in every way.
The incidents of the dav have been comparatively
few. The Members of the Cabinet paid their GUS
tomary daily visit this afternoon, and about 3
o'clock Secretary Window was shown into the sick
room, being the second Cabinet officer to comply
with the Presidents request, that they be permitted
to call. The Secretary upon entering the room took
the haud of the patient and in formed him that there
was nothing in the Treasury Department requiring
his at ention, and after exchanging a few other
marks withdrew. The President simply acknowl-
edged the Secretary's statement witbou comment.
Secretary Window appeared to be satisfied with the
appearance OF the President and is of opinion that
he is improving
Colonel Corbin was seen by a representative Of
the Associated Press to-day in the course of brief
visit to Private Secretary Browns cottage. The
Colonel said the febrile rise appeared to be making
its appearance later in the evening than usual but
that 1T was not so severe as at Washington. When
asked how long the President would be likely to re-
main at Long Branch the Colonel SAT-: :
Its rather too soon TO talk upon such matters,
but should think until the middle OF latter part of
October. OF course it depends upon the progress
he makes. do not think he will be taken away
from here on a stretcher at any rate"
Is it not pretty cold here in October ~
Well not unco nfortaDy so. | understand the
weather is very pleasant here up to the middle of
October"
"Where do you suppose the President will be re-
moved TO from here 7"
Il don't know; but I should not be surprised if
he would go down the Southern coast on the Tai
lapoosa"
The President is making good progress now,
isn't he, Colonel"
" He is improving, yes, but as said yesterday, |
think it will be time before h, can be consid-
cred convalescenr."
In the course of the afternoon the following con-
