A COMFORTABLE DAY.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The President
is having quite a comfortable day. He
chewed another piece of beef steak and
swallowed the juice early this morning,
and since then has had little chicken
cooked in milk, besides the usual allow
ance of beef extract and porridge.
ALL SYMPTOMS CONTINUE FAVORABLE.
In conversation this forenoon with the
physicians, they said the President was
doing as well as they could wish to have
him. The slight fever which occurred last
evening, and which is referred
to in this mornings bulletin,
was not DR.. Boynton thinks,
a matter of any great consequence. Its
duration was transient and it was nothing
more than one of the fluctuations which
are to be anticipated as long as the patient
remains in his present weak state
Has he gained any bodily strength, in
quired the reporter?
Not great deal, think he made little
progress in that respect yesterday, as much
as we could reasonably expect by his ger
eral appearance however, has improved
considerably.
What is the condition of the gland this
morning?
1t looks very we'll
Is there any danger to
be apprehended from the opening into
the mouth?'
Not the least
''How is the wound doing?"
I should be little better satisfied if it
discharged more than it does but its con-
dition is improved, the pus which comes
from it now is much better in character
than heretofore.
How soon do you think the President
can be moved.
cannot say definitely, it depends upon
the progress which he makes during the
next few days. If he continues to i'm
prove as rapidly as he has during the
last 46 hours it win be safe to move him
before long say within week.
How do you think he can best be car
riedg"
l think he can go by water or rail with
out any suffering. He is not subject to
sea sickness, and could stand, when he
gets better, good deal of gentle swinging
motion. He could also be moved in spe-
cially fitted Pullman car without any in
jury.
Has not yet been decided 1t will be duly
considered and discoursed when Dr.. Ag-
new returns tomorrow.
Would not the sudden roar of a passing
train be likely to injnre him by nervous
shock
No, think not; he is not very nervous
movements and noises in his room do not
disturb him as much as well man, even
the sudden falling of an object to the floor
does not startle him
What is the particular danger to be
guarded against in moving him?
Over taxing his strength He is net
very likely to be injured in any other way
Where do you think he will first be
taken?
leave no possible knowledge, probably

CHICAGO. Sept IA.
First Lieut.. John G.. Bourks, I'd
cavalry, U. S. A, a~ide-de-camp to
Gen. Crook, was one Of the officers
selected by Lieut. Gen. Sheridan some
months since to make investigations
into the habits, ETC., Of the Indians
living within OF contiguous to the mill
tary division of the Missouri. The
district assigned Lieut.. Bourke was the
southern half Of the division, the
northern portion being allotted to
Capt. w. P. Clark, I'd cavalry. Bourke
has penetrated into q country never be-
fore traversed by a white man. and has
written to Gen. Sheridan q long letter
which contains a graph ic account OF
the curious and horrible religious
ceremony among the.remote AID almost
unknown Indian tribe, the Moquia Of
northern Arizona, a people whose
identity has been preserved since they
were first seen and partially described
by the Spanish Catholic missionaries in
1886. The rite referred to is the snake
dance. Lieut.. Bourke states that they
danced around in a peculiar manner
with snakes in their hands and
mouths. There were about a hundred
venomous rattle snakes and these were
handled carelessly by old men and
boys. The scene was horrible in the ex-
treme. These people are greater snake
charmers than the Asiatics.
