some Lung Trouble Feared.

Long Branch, S. - DR.. Bliss saws
Mrs. Garfield is very happy and en-
couraged. He has had no whisky
since midnight. The enemata have
now been stopped. The President
had, to-day, some woodcock, beef
extract, milk pOrridge and some
toast. He takes these with great
relish. He could eat more than
would be good for him. This is the
first tina he has really relished his
food for some time. He says anus
ing things continually. For in
stance, a while ago he said to Gen.
Swain, Can't you get up some con-
trlvance by which we can pass
away the time? The President en-
joys the ocean very much.
McVeagh said he felt much graft
fed with the Presidents condition,
and thought he would continue to
improve. There were no grounds
for statement that there was i'll
feeling among the attending sur
geons. Ill feeling was not the cause
of the withdrawal yesterday.
About o'clock the wind shift ed
again to the east and since then a
stiff sea breeze has been blowing
and the thermometer has fallen
from 80 to II. The evening is deci-
dedly the most pleasant during the
week and the avenues presented a
very lively appearance. After the
evening bulletin was issued, Bliss
said the President was still in first
rate condition and denied the pub
lished statements that the lungs of
the President were affected.
Senators Logan and Chaffen are
here, and engaged Dr.. Bliss in con
versati0n about the condition Of the
President.
BOynton says the President is
doing nicely, but he would not say
he is convalescent. He is certainly
very much better though than for
some time. A man in his condition
cannot avoid having ups and downs.
We hope, and the indications war
rant our doing so, that he will
maintain the ground he has gained,
The President is unusually well to
day, and We hope he will remain So
but it is not absolutely certain that
he will, by any means. lie may
relish his food, perhaps, more than
he has for some time past, but he
has not what might properly be
called,a an appetite yet.
"HSw about the story that his
lungs are affected, doctor?" Il
would rather not discuss that sub
ject."
Members Of the cabinet continue
to view the change to-day AS an in
dication of good results, and the
evening bulletin is generally ac-
cepted as being favorable. \ storm
is expected at Long Branch by noon
tomorrow.
BLAINE TO LOWELL
The Presidents rest was much
broken during the Erst half Of last
night, but to-day his condition is
more favorable. He had less fever
this afternoon than for several days
past, has better pulse and an i'm
proved appetite. The surgeons are
much encouraged. His comfort has
been promoted by the decided
change in the weather. The ther
msmeter at this hour is 75o Fahren-
heit; yesterday it was $50.
a rumOr prevailed at late hour,
tonight, that the President had
vOmited during the evening. 1t is
believed the rumOr originated from
the fact that the President ate lit
tie hearty and was somewhat rest
less. Attending surgeons deny that
vomiting occurred.
at 10, tonight, Dr.. Bliss stated
that the Presidents pulse had risen
to los since the evening bulletin
was issued. The increase is attrib-
uted to the usual febrile rise, and
occasions little or no apprehension.
He thought the morning examina-
ton will show good pulse and
temperature. Col. Rockwell stated
that the President had a splendid
day, and all hands felt much en-
couraged. Hamilton said every.
thing looked well, and the case was
very promising. Shortly after 10
Bliss and Hamilton had retired, and
the President was sleeping quietly.
At q later hour Gen. Swain said
everything was progressing nicely.
The President partOok of solid food
during the evening, and had
natural passage of the bowels, which
indicated proper assimilation OF the
foodi Gen. Swain said the Presl-
dent had eaten too much tonight,
and had experienced some discom-
fort.
New York, GA Tribune Long
Branch reporter interviewed DR..
Hamilton, who said: So erly stated,
the President has made some pro-
gress to-day, but he is not out of
danger, and it would be well for the
public to postpone celebrations and
thanksgiving for a time. The doe
tors and attendants are human
beings as well as professional men,
and their heart strings have been
kept at great tension for a long
time. The change for the better has
caused a rebound in their hopes,
which finds expression in somewhat
extravaganza terms. Moreover, they
were talking for the most part to
persons who have closely followed
the varying features of the disease
in their minutest fluctuations, and
