CHESTER, Pa, September 8.
The Presidents train passed the depot
here at about twenty five miles an hour.
The Presidents car wss apparently tightly
closed, and no bulletin was thrown off.
While the locomotive of the Presidential
train was receiving coal at Lamokin, DR..
Agnew told DR.. Miner, of this city, that
the President had improved since he left
Washington, and was getting along very
comfortably. They were glad to get out of
Washington, for the heat was oppressive.
The doctors on the train were well pleased
with the progress the train was making.
The car was quite free from jolt or jar, and
they had high hopes of reaching Long Branch
with no bad results. The President. had
suffered very little fatigue. DR.. Agnew
seemed in excellent spirits.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September Q.
The Presidential train ran over the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington & Baltimore division
of the road forty. mine miles an hour. Whca
the President was informed that more than
half the journey had been completed, he was
greatly pleased, and said this was decidedly
the most interesting day Of any since he was
shot.
DR.. Boynton said here that the removal Of
the President promises to be perfect sue.
cess. He is confident that the President
will be in a better condition when he reach
es Elberon than when he started. His pulse
on leaving Washington was ia, and at Phil
adelphia it was LOG.
General Superintendent Kenney, of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore di-
vision Of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
on the Presidents train. He says it is true
that the Presidents pulse fell ten beats
before reaching Baltimore. The Presi-
dent was cheerful, and, when asked if
he would like to travel faster, replied
eyes, I rather like it," Mr.. Kenney
says he seemed to be in very good
spirits, and was not under the effects of any
opiates. He was as rational as could be,
and occasionally chatted with the doctors.
Mr.. Kenney added that he was surprised to
see the number Of people who turned out,
particularly in country places, to. witness
the passage of the train. Even at promi.
nent stations where there were crowds the
people raised their hats with reverence,
and all seemed affected by the gravity of the
situation.
DISPATCH FROM PRIVATE SECRETARY
BROWN.
GRAY's FERRY, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.
The President continues to do we'll. A
brief stop was made at Bayview and the
wound successfully dressed. Out of Bay
view, by reason of good track, the speed
was increased to fifty miles per hour, and no
discomfort was felt by the President. The
vibration of the bed was no greater than at
lower rate of speed.

At Long Branch.
LONG BRANCH, N. j., September 6.
The Presidential train arrived ut Elberon
at 1:10 p. M, aud reached the cottage ten
minutes later. There were about 10000
persons in the vicinity of the Presidents
quarters. The regular troops were on
guard, and no difficulty was experienced in
preserving perfect order. No sound was
heard to mar the quiet Of the ne!ghborhood.
Mrs. Garfield, upon arrival, passed from
the Presidents Car to the preceding
coach. She looked calm and not at
all worried. No difficulty was experienced
in preventing too near approach
of the people. No excitement prevailed
only natural curiosity. just before reach
ing the cottage, at 1:15 p. M, the train was
b~ought to standstill, and the first car,
used by the attending physicians, and bag
gage car, were detached and pushed by
hand around sharp curve, making semi
circle about the Presidents cottage. Fol-
lowing this proceeding the car in which
the patient was lying was gently pushed
over the same course till it reached
the entrance to the cottage, at
which point it was stopped and large
awning was thrown around the portfco, so
that the sun could not fall upon the patient,
and he could not be observed by the anxious
spectators. The removal from the car to
President was accomplished without excit-
ing him in any manner whatever, and,
while he was apparently little fatigued, he
did not complain, and seemed to be perfect
ly calm and we'll satisfied.
DR.. Bliss said, in response to interroga-
tories, that the President stood the journey
extremely well, his pulse not having ben
higher than ITO. Colonel Corbin, who ac-
companied the attendants upon the Presi-
dent to Long Branch, says the President
stood the journey remarkably well; that,
upon nearing Long Branch, one of the party
suggested that it would soon be time
to take a bath, in reply to which
the President said: 1--WE need prog.
ress just now more than bath.'' AT
every town and station along the route, said
Colonel Carbin, a mass of human beings
congregated to witness the passage Of the
train, in most instances entire multitudes
standing with uncovered heads, and exhib.
iting feelings Of sympathy.
The evening bulletin has had the usual
effect, causing considerable excitement,
and some persons feel very despond'
ent. No apprehension is felt by the
surgeons, however, as they expected the
journey would result in considerable rise
in pulse and temperature.
DR.. Boynton said tonight: "The pulse
remains about the same as at the time the
evening dressing was made. IT the Presi-
dent should die before tomorrow morning
I should hold to the opinion that his re.
moval was the proper thing to do. He was
dying inch by inch in Washington, and
still hope that here he will gain sufficient
strength to recover. I think q favorable
change in the patient probable by morning.
If there is, we shall, Of course, be more
hopeful, while, on the other hand, we shall
feel anxious II there is not The wound and
gland are all right. The trouble is that the
Presidents system is SO much run down
that the question arises: Has he sufficient
recuperative power left to react from the
fatiguew
