cd no arrangement by tEayel, and the
dressing was soon accomplished and the
train, after leaving Bay View, was run at
the rate OF about 80 miles m hour. The

excellent condition and though the speed
was at times greater than 80 miles an hour
the yihratlAn Of the Presidents bed was no
more than 1t would haVG been had the
train been moving at but % miles per hour.
The attending surgeons feel very much
grtifed with the manner in which the re.
mQYpl was conducted and are generally OF
tho opinion that, except being slightly
fatiguctl, the President has bore the journey
remarkably well.
The practice Of issuing bulletins three
times per day will be continued. There
will be no distribution Of bulletins except
at Private Secretary Browns office, where

Private Secretary Brown had short
with nr. Hamilton about 10

Cabinet officers and Others intimately nc.

A. gentleman in conversation with o

had given him little or no encouragement

There is certainly no ground for denying
that the patient is decidedly low, and I'M.

be grave appFehenslohs, hut 4 Il almost
expected the morning dressing
will show an improvement.
The latest information from the sick room
Io.night was given by Private Secretary
Brown, who stated that DR.. Reyburn,re-
aQrtetl at 1880 that the Presidents pulse
bod fallen to about lis and histemperatire
was not much above normal.
