Special Dispatches to THE EVENING STAR.
LONG BRANCH, NJ, Sept. 13, II q. m.-
Although the morning bulletin did not make q
good showing on it's face, still the President is
doing well. At 10 O'Clock the doctors decided
to give the patient change. day or two ago
an invalid or reclining chair was received from
Washington. The President was lifted from his
bed to this chair this morning, and remained in
it an hour. During the morning his pulse fuc-
tuated wildly, but it soon settled down to the
figures of the morning bulletin. The position
occupied by the President while in the chair was
recumbent one. He said ''This is delightful;
it is such a change" Hereafter each day he
will spend an hour or so in the chair An eX-
animation will be made tonight to ascertain if
the change of position has changed the position
of the ball.
Secretary Lincoln left for Rye Beach this
morning. This leaves Attorney General Mac
Veagh the only member of the Cabinet here.
Second Dispatch.l
THE LUNG TROUBLE-THE UNEAsINEss OF THE
PHYSICIANS STILL APPARENT-AN ALLEGED
REFLECTION ON DIR. BLlSS-A STAR ROUTE
CONFERENCE.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 13, 12 m.-The fact that
the Presidents respiration is again at tw enty
gives the doctors no little concern despite the
assertion that the trouble with the lung will
yield to treatment. DR.. Bliss will not say what
the treatment is. 1t is explained by DR.. Boyn-
ton in this wise:-He says the Presidents throat
Is filled with phlegm, which gives him some
trouble to get his breath, and thus increases the
rapdity of breathing. He does not say the Pres
ident has an abscess on his lungs, but he is
afraid one is liable to develop
MORE CHEEKY FEELING
The feeling about Elberon to-day is more
CHEEKY than yesterday. Gen. Swaim who staid
in the sick room all last night said the pat lent
had good night. DR.. Hamilton. at noon. told
brace of newspaper men that the President was
progressing slowly still he was progressing.
Attorney General MacVeagh will hereafter send
the Lowell telegram. Secretary Blaine left a. re-
quest for either Drs. Agnew or Hamilton to take
care of it. This was construed by some to be a
reflection on DR.. Bliss. For this reason Hamil-
ton and Agnew turned the matter over to the
Attorney General.
STAR ROUTE CONFERENCE
Col VIM. A. Cook and A. NJ. Gibson came
down last night to have a conference with the
Attorney General on star route business. Cook
says the government will be ready with it's case
when the grand jury meets and that the legal
papers on behalf Of the government have all been
drawn up.

DIR. BoyntOn takes decidedly more cheerful
view Of the Presidents condition to-day. To
The STAR representative he said at half-past
twelve O'Clock, II recognize that the President
is still dangerously sick man. Still he seems
to get over the new complications as they arise.
He is

ger from the lungs, but it will take some days
yet to get at the extent of the lung trouble. l
am inclined to think, in view of the dangers that
the President has overcome that he will get

THE WEATHER

ocean breeze prevailing. Mrs. Grant called at
the Elberon hotel to-day and sent her card to
Mrs. Garfield. Gen. Grant called last night and

was injured yesterday while playing lawn tennis
Is sitting up to-day. The hotels here have de-
cded to keep open until October 1st.
