LATEST FROM LosG EEANCu.

WASHINGTON, Sept. G.-1he president
passed comfortable night at the cX.
ecutiye mansion. and slept much Of the
time but awakened at frequent inter.
walls. He spoke OF his impending de.
parture with mingled anxiety and hope.
In the early hours OF the morning he
took beef tea aud enemata, and his
pulse varied from l0i to lOs. 4 large
crowd gathered in front Of the mansion
at an early hour, come of the people
having been there all night. The en-.
tire route To the depot was cleared OF
vehicles by the police. The crowd was
very quiet and orderly, everyone seem.
cd fearful lest some accident should be.
fall the patient.
LEAVING TuE wHITE nou-E.
At precisely $40 the president was
carried from the sick room TO the ex.
press wagon backed up 10 the steps OF
the front poriico. lie wa resting IN "A
peaceful position, his right hand laid
upon his breast and left arm stretched
full length upon the coEerl.t. He ap.
peared greatly emac.ated. but his face,
though clTcworn and thin, secIncd nat.
ural. His high forehead was covered
by linen cloth, and his features bore a
patient and resigned expression. The
horses were hitchcd To the wagon. and
at $50 started, when the president
fccbly, but cheerfully. raised nls hand
and waved farewell to those assem-.
bled The horses walked all the way 10
the depot, with man at the bride Of
each animal TO keep 1t IN control. An
anxious crowd followed silently, gazing
upon the president. the curtains Of the
wagon being rolled up to give him air.
TRANSFERRED TO the TRAIN.
At the depot there was a feeling OF
relief. 1t being the general impression
that the worst OF the perilous Journey
was over. General Swain announced
that the president had not been dis.
turbed or disquieicd IN the least, but,
on the contrary, seemed to enjoy the
ride. The horses were detached and
the wagon backed up TO the cars. The
president was then Transferred, although
there was some difficulty in the delicate
task, owing to the car floor being rather
high. However, 1t was accomplished
successfully. when inside the car the
patient WAS Transferred from the bed
on which he had been carried to q
spring bed AtG.2O, amid deep silence,
the train began 90 move. 4 slight de.
Law, however. occurred, but at $50 ex.
actly the train started on Its journey.
