LoNa BRANCH, Sept. Sire immediate
attendants upon the President express q
decided opinion that the improvement is
likely tor be permanent. They say that
the President is much better than before
leaving Washington. MacYaigh said that
he considered the outlook of the Presi-
dents case very encouraging, and al
though there is every reason to believe
that a favorable condition would continue,
has decided to wait a week or ten days
before entertaining the idea that he is
convalescent. The great difficulty is that
the Presidents blood is in an unhealthy
condition, and until he recuperates suffi-
GENTLY to overcome any bad effects of
blood poisoning, there cannot be a GER
tainty Of his recovery. 1.-THE lungs" said
MacVaigh, "are the danger at the present
time, and inasmuch as the patient is ex-
periencing some trouble with his throat,
possibly the lungs may have been reached
by Impurities from the parotid gland.
There is no indication yet that they have
been affected. We know his heart Is all
right, and up to this time there are no in
dications which tend to show that the
lungs are not in q healthy condition."
"You feel more encouraged than before
you left Washington. do you not2"
"Oh, yes; there is no doubt the Presi-
dent ia much better"

money, clothing, bedding, provisions, or
any other supplies that will help to main
tain the sufferers, and enable them to pro-
vide shelter for themselves and begin work
on their farms. Contributions should be

citizens OF Port Huron, who have sent
agents through the burned district TO as
