At LONG BRANCH.


LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept 6.-The presi-

safely and successfully accomplished, and he
endured the journey of 238 miles from Wash

physicians had anticipated BE now lies within
100 yards Of the ocean. The fresh, life-giv-
ing salt breezes play through his chamber.
The gentle roar of the surf
falls plainly upon his ears and Ill that kindly
nature can bestow upon her sons belongs to
the president. Hope, that had died out in
Washington, has revived In Long Branch The
physicians can do but little for the patient be-
yond relieving his outward wants. The art Of
healing in this case has passed from The do
main of physicians to the hand Of God. If
the president does not fail within the
next thirty-six hours reasonabl hopes
of his recovery may be entertained. for during
that time the effects Of to-day's journey will
probably be fully developed and the worst will
be known. The risk Of bringing the president
to the seaside was fully comprehended by all
who had charge Of the case The result of al
lowing him to remain in the White House
would have been death. The one chance was
taken, and it now looks as though with success.

Hardly breath Of air moved over the
bluffs and what little there was came in
puffs from the north, the only direction in
which it would be impossible to reach the
presidents chamber. On any other day the
ladies' and gentlemen would have remained
closely in their apartments until the

Ocean avenue was crowded with vehicles and
barouches. Coupelets. village carts. milk
wagons, stages and beach hacks lined the
@driveways between the West End and Elberon
Farmers from the surrounding country and
their wives, alfred in Sunday clothes, as
Ssembled from the adjacent villages and took
positions whereon they could see the entry

news that the patient was comfortable
and enjoyed the change Of scene.
The news o Of the progress Of
