LONG BRANCH, Sept. 1O.-Secretary
Blaine, sent the following at 10 o'clock
to night:
To Minister LoweA, London:
After the dispatch of last night, the
president had considerable increase
of fever. Indeed the rise of his pulse
and temperature every night has be-
come a significant feature in his case.
Through the day, and especially this
afternoon, he has grown more comfort
able. A cold easterly storm has
prevailed since early this morning,
without the evil effect. Thus far his
condition is about the same. Secre-
tary Window had brief interview with
him at noon. He found him much re-
iuced in strength, but clear in his
mind. He asked the secretary about
the success of refunding of the public
debt.
BLAINE, Sec'y.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. lilo p. m.-
Secretary Blaine sent the following:
Lowell, Minister, London:
President had an increase of fever
last night, and was very restless until
five o'clock this morning. During the
day he has been somewhat better, but
his pulse, temperature and respiration
have been higher for the entire twenty
four hours, than on any proceeding
day since he reached Long Branch.
his other symptoms are not reassuring,
and his general condition gives rise to
anxiety.
BLAINE, Secretary.
ELBARoN, Sep. 12, $50 a. m.-The
President passed an unusually good
night, his sleep being uninterrupted
except occasionally to enable him to
take punishment. The supperation
from parotid gland has almost entirely
ceased. The opening from which pus
discharged is rapidly healing. The.:cough
is less and expectoration materially di-
minished. Temperature 9S4, pulse
100, respiration Is.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 11.-At 1 o. clock,
DR.. Bliss says the presidents pulse was
LOG, temperature 99.2, respiration 20,
and hat he is having a bright day.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 11.-Attorney
General McVeagh feels very much en-
couraged to-day, and says the surgeons
are confident that the alarming features
of lung trouble have passed away. Ev-
erything, said MacVeagh, looks more
encouraging, and 1 feel much relieved.
DR.. Bliss said the president was bet
ter; that he had good nights rest, and
it was having a good effect. He had
taken nourishment freely, and had
some milk punch with brandy; that
the affection of the lung was
nearly, if not completely under
control; it was a local lobular
inflammation, and would pass away
without serious result. At this hour
everything looks fave-.2L!.. :4s;s:ssiits1,. :4;s:ssiits1, ~"'
Postmaster Gen. James and Secre-
tary Window, left here this morning
for New York. With the exception of
Attorney Gen. McVeagh, the mem
hers of the cabinet will leave New
York, tomorrow morning, for the
White mountains, as arranged hereto
1t having been decided that the presi-
dent is in q condition to warrant their
absence. They will probably return on
Friday next. Hunt called on the
president to-day,a and was very favor
ably impressed with his coalition.
Boynton says to-day is one of the
presidents bright days. He considers
there is no doubt but that an abcess has
formed on the presidents right lung
but if no further trouble of q similar
nature occurs, he thinks the president
has sufficient vitality to overcome it.
The doctor says the trouble is not ma
terially worse now than before he left
Washington. He attributes the com.
plication to chronic blood poisoning.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 12. Secretary
Blaine sent the following at 1:30 P. NJ.
To Lo,ceK, Minister to London
The president slept well last night,
and his condition to-day is more COM
Portable. During my absence for a
short time Drs. Agnew and Hamilton
will send you daily report.
BLAINE, Secy.
