THE GLAND.

Washington, 2.-The gland con-
tinueS an object of extreme SOlici-
tude to physicians. To-day the alb
Scess broke into one of the nOstrils,
and is discharging through that
channel, as well as through the four
incisionS and andOtria canal. BOyn-
ton told reporter that there was
no danger of the gland sloughing off
as feared. However, the Presidents
personal appearance, should he get
well, will not be much better than if
sloughing had INTERVIEWED.
MALARIA.
To-day there was some apprehen-
sion among physicians about mala-
ria, and this will help urge along the
removal. 1t is proposed to take the
side out of Pullman car and run it
up over the street car track to the
White House entrance on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and have the Presi-
dent carried down on a stretcher,
placed in it, and born by easy stages
to the seaside. If at to-morroW's
consultation of surgeons there ap-
pears a reasonable hope that the re-
ployal can be made without risk,
the President will be out of the
White House within a week.
STIMULANTS.
A reporter learned from credible
authority that stimulants in large
quantities, containing six drains
of whisky and five drains Of qui-
nine, and twenty-five drops of laud-
anum, are given in the enemata
every six hours, and the cOntinu-
ance of favorable symptoms through
the week may be ascribed to this,
and the stimulantS may perhaps
carry him over until his system is
built up; but there is a serious out
look always present in the failure at
the moment of power to retain this
injected nourishment. Tomorrow
is the unlucky day in the Presidents
case, but there seems to be but little
fear of a relapse now.
THE REMOVAL.
New York, 2.-Sun's Washington !:
Evidence of malaria is discovered
in the sick chamber Of the Presi-
dent. BoyntOn, to-day, said that
there is no longer any doubt about
it, and the sluggish condition of the
wound could be ascribed to that. He
feared malaria fever might attack
the President, and if it should do so
now the result would probably be
fatal. The President could be re-
moved at, once if everything was
ready, and he thought he would be
removed within four or Eve days,
unless there should meanwhile arise
some complication. The President
had quite a long talk with Mrs. Gar
field about the matter this after
noon, and arranged some Of the de-
tails. She, of course, did most of
the talking, the President signifying
his assent or disappr0Yal by a nod or
single word. 1t was decided that
no previous announcement should
be made of the time fixed for the
removal. DR.. Bliss had suggested
that if it was generally known the
result would be the streets would
be crowded. The journey to Long
Branch would be by easy stations
and by way of Monmouth Junction.
One reason which had much weight
with Mrs. Garfield in selecting Long
Branch was the place was SO con-
venient for Drs. Hamilton and Ag-
new to reach.
INSANE IMAGININGS.
Two women were committed to
the asylum yesterday, both insane
on the subject OF the Presidents i'll
ness. Each thought she was Mrs.
Garfield, and might go and nurse
the President. One was Irish, the
other German.
washington specials have the
following It has got wind that Gen.
Sherman's hospital corps is so well
trained to walk together that they
can carry man on stretcher so
gently that he might hold q full
glass Of water in his hand without
Splitting a drop, and the sense OF
motion is so slight that should a
cloth be placed over his face he
would scarcely feel the motion. DR..
Bliss said tonight that the idea OF
running a Car up to the Wnlte
House on the street car track had
been abandoned, since eight men
could carry the President to the
depot without any trouble. The
depot is about a mile from the
White House.
COMFORTABLE NIGHT.
Washington, 8, I am.-The Presi-
dent passed a comfortable night,
and is thought by physicians to be
in about the same condition as yes
terday morning.
POTOMAC FLATS.
Executive Mansion, nOOn.-The
condition of the President has not
materially changed since yesterday,
although he was thought this morn
Jig to be a little weaker and less
animated. It seems to be the
growing impression among attend
81 mat he is beginning to be I'M
1dvorably affected by the weather
and malarious air from the Potomac:
