ELBKRoN, N. j., Sept 8-12:40p. m
Dr. Bliss. who has Just made an examina
,tion of the President, says his pulse, at
this hour, is -, temperature normal and
respiration II. This, said the Doctor, is
the best showing we have had in the case
at noon for some days. The announce
ment of the figures was received with
great satisfaction by all. Attorney Gen
eral McVeagh expressed the opinion that
there is now apparently good ground for
encouragement. He made this assertion
in the presence of DIR. Hamilton. The
latter gentleman, who strictly sdheres to
his policy not to talk for publication
about any Of his patients, showed by his
expression that he did not object to the
statement.
There appears 20 be good ground for
believing that the rally will be main
tanned, inasmuch as the wind has shifted
to the east, and u stin and invigorAting
sea breeze is now blowing. The atmos-
phere il consequently perfectly pure.
Services of prayer for the recovery of
the President, were held to day in nearly
all the churches here. At this hour gen
ersl good feeling prevails, and if the fs-
vOrsble change in the patient continues
throughout the day, there is good reason
to believe that he has really started on
the road to recovery.
DIR. Bliss says the wound and gland
are both in excellent condition, and there
are at present NO unfavorable symptoms.
Mrs. Garfield, the Doctor says, is extreme
ly happy over the sudden change for the
better.
The Present Condition Of the Press-
dent Quite Satisfactory.
LoNa BRANCH, Sept. S.-Although the
President was wakeful and restless dur
ing the early part Of the night, his con-
dition this morning 10 quite satisfactory.
After the morning dressing, DR.. Bliss
said the patient is doing first rate He
was restless during the early part of the
night, but slept well after IL O'clock.
"How does his condition compare with
yesterdayw was asked.
"He shows much improvement to-day,
and is better than he has been for eight
or ten days"
"Do you anticipate continued improve
menti"
~Yes, we will be able, think, to give
you still better news in . day or two"
"How is the pulse and temperature,
Doctorf.
"Good. The pulse is 104, temperature

DIR. Reyburn considered the Presi- |
dents condition, this morning, better |
than yesterday. The unusual restless
neas in the early part of the night is at
tributed to the intense heat of yesterday. |
To-day it 10 not quite so close, the wind
having shifted to the northeast. Cooler
weather il anxiously looked for and it
h thought with it will come q favorable
change for the President.
Much comment is made on the retire.
ment of three of the attending surgeons,
and some persons are inclined to believe
the matter is extraordinary and surround
ed by mystery. Information obtained
from an authoritative source, however,
does not appear to warrant any such
opinion. Mrs. DR.. Edison, one of the
nurses, also retires from her duties in
that capacity. and she and D.. Wood
ward expect to leave the Branch to-day.
This movement is explained by those in
position to know by the statement that
the President recently informed his wife
that he would prefer having all male at
tendants henceforth.
The Presidents appetite is much better
this morning. When given some chicken
he remarked to his wife, he felt as if he
could eat it all. This Is one of the most
desirable indications If the patients
appetite returns the attending surgeons
will be more sanguine- DR.. Hamilton,
while declining TO talk for publication
this morning. indicated by his remarks
that he felt very much encouraged with
the case a. il stood a. present.
