The Presidential train arrived at Elberon
at lilo 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 neighborhood.
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 a 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
brought to standstill, and the first car,
used by the attending physicians, and bag
gage car, were detached and pushed by
circle about the Presidents cottage. Fol-
lowing this proceeding the car in which
Uue patIenG Was lying WIS genuy pusneu
over the same course till it reached
the entrance to the cottage, at
which point it was stopped and a large
awning was thrown around the portico, 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 10
the room prepared for the reception OF the
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 well satisfied.
DR.. Bliss said, in response to interroga-
tories, that the President stood the journey
extremely well, his pulso not having been
higher than 10. 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, ore Of the party
suggested that it would soon be TINA
to take a bath, in reply to which
the President said: "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 tho
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. II the Presi-
dent should die before tomorrow morning
l 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. / think 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 IL 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
recuperatKe power left to react from the
fatigue"
