REVIEW OF THE DAY.

REVIEW OF THE DAY.
LONG BRANAH, September 1.-THE day
opened cloudy and rather sultry, but before
3 p. IN. the storm broke away, and bracing
sea breeze set In and continued throughout
the balance of the day. The mer-
curry fell to seventy-two, and the
air was decidedly refreshing, rendering
heavy clothing necessary for comfort.
The early part of the day was not so favora-
BILE for the President as yesterday, owing
to the fact that the febrile rise, which has
become somewhat greater, did not COM
mence until late in the night, and eonse-
quently had not entirely disappeared when
the morning dressing of the wound
was made. The rise, which now
appears nightly, is attributed to
a malarious affection, as heretofore
explained, and until the fever is broken IT
may be expected that the mornings will not
prove to be so satisfactory as heretofore.
Notwithstanding the evidence Of increased
fever, the surgeons and attendants upon
the President do not wAver in their opinion
that he has been gaining ground, although
they admit that the gain is slow.

DOING FAIRLY WELL.
1890 P. M.-The day is quite comfortable,
the rain having ceased and a gentle sea
breeze sprung up. The President is pass
ing another good day. The high pulse
noted in the official bulletin is attributed to
the usual febrile rise, which last night
came on later and continued longer. The
surgeons and attendants are cheerful. At
this hour the patients pulse ranges between
95 and SO, and his temperature and respira-
tion are about normal.
DIR. BLISS NOT ALARMED.

has not had quite so favorable day as yes
terday, but that he feels no alarm about
him.

NO MALARIA.
7:45 P. M-Dr. AgneW says the Presi-
dents high temperature does not indicate
anything serious, that it is merely a tenn
porary fuc uation aud not the result Of any
malarIous affection.
BLAINE TO LOWELL.
Secretary Blaine sent the following at
half-past ten O'Clock tonight to Minister
Lowell: "The President had an increase of
fever last night and was very restless until
five O'Clock a. IN. 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 preceding day since he reached
Long Branch. His other symptoms are not
reassuriDg, and his general condition gives
rise to anxiety"
