I l Symptoms All Good-T4is Removal Dea 1 cided Upon-The Story of the Bulletins. 1 WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The condition of
 the President to-day has been much more
 satisfactory than was generally expected af- ter the announcement in the morning bulle- 1 tin of renewed vomiting. The circumstances of this trouble seem to be about as follows Between and 10 o'clock last evening, when the President was clearing his throat of phlegm, he gagged and vomited slightly, just as he did week or so ago. It caused him : no great discomfort, and he fell asleep short | ly afterward. At 1 a. m. he was given some porridge, having expressed desire for 1t. No disturbance followed at once. At 3 a. m.
 he was given his usual sponge bath. This done the physicians retired to their room, and few moments later the President said to c. O. Rockwell, who was in attendance at the
 bedside: 'I believe I am going to yomit. :" ''Do you feel sick ?" asked his attendant as he went to his assistance. ''Yes," was the
 response. and yes it was. The President 1 vomited easily, and was not greatly exeEcised.
 His pulse ran up somewhat but soon fell
 again, and after he was quieted down the President said: ''The first attempt was not much, but this came from the bottom He soon fell asleep again and rested full as well as for several nights. Soon after daylight he asked for some squirrel broth, and it was given to him. He took it with evident relish, and it was not followed by any gastric disturbances. News of the vomiting caused considerable excite ment about the city. It has been so of+ fo1 1ato bat fha tfc stomach gave out there was no hope for him that many people thought the worst had come. At the White House the vomiting g caused no alarm inasmuch as it was not peated and left no unfavorable symptoms be- 1 hind. It now appears that he has had ire quent slight spells of vomiting during the past two or three weeks and none of them
 were due to any new complication in the case. Dr. Boynton said early this morning that the President had just been a little sick at the l stomach and was soon all right again. So it seemed. During the day he took as much
 nourishment as on any day recently and had no further disturbance. The condition of the wound causes no anxiety. The gland is reported in the bulletins as do ing we'll The President is said to be cheerful and hungry. He asked to-day for squirrel broth and enjoyed it when gwen to him. He had a liberal allowance of milk porridge and some bouillon from the dinner table. The enemata are still continued. All the special conditions remain favorable. The only discouraging feature seems to be that the patient does not gain much strength In- deed the evening bulletin does not say. He shows more fatigue after each dressing. The high pulse is also considered as evidence of weakness. All these things are generally ac- cepted as conclusive proof of the necessity of the immediate removal of the President. The patient himself is anxious to go. ''That seems
 to be the chance for me and think I deserve to have it given me" was the remark he has
 made to doctor The arrangements are not
 vet completed, but are being pushed The
 probabilities are that he will be taken away
 Tuesday morning. The question of removal
 is the burden of every conversation.
 THE PRESIDENTS REMOVAL TO LONG BRANCH.
 The physicians are all agreed that the
 President must be moved, and are unanimous
 that he be moved at any hazard at once. Dr.
 Hamilton, who is still in New York, went away having expressed his desire that the
 President be moved as soon as arrangement
 can be completed Dr. Agnew also thinks
 the change imperative Drs Woodward and
 Barnes acquiesce the latter believing it the
 only possible chance of saving the President.
 Dr. Reyburn said today that he thought the
 President would be able to be moved by
 Wednesday, certainly not by tomorrow. He did not think the vomiting of last night would render the removal any more unsafe. The
 
 his mind was no indication of any serious complication in the case. Dr. Bliss stated this afternoon that the President would
 not be removed to morrow morning.
 He might be able to go Tuesday,
 but that had not been fixed The all the week. The swelling was nearly gone
 There was still good discharge of healthy pus The wound was showing signs of very slow repair and the vomiting was not accom-
 panied by nausea, but was the result of re-
 purgation. It did not seriously affect the
 general condition of the patient. The doctor further said the arrangements for the removal of the President were still very crude and that the time of departure, the make up of the train, etc.. had not been determined upon
 Private Secretary Brown said the arrange ments for the departure of the President
 were in no particular hurried as yet, and as long as the head of the expedition
 had not been designated it was not likely that an immediate start was contemplated
 He ventured to say the whole country would be aware of the hour of starting at
 least ten hours in advance. The Attorney
 General, who has had charge of the railroad
 arrangements for the trip, stated this after noon that the train would be in readiness
 early tomorrow morning, but he did not
 know when it would be used. He said the
 plan was that no one but the President, his
 wife and daughter, the physicians and nur-
 ses should go on the train. James and Harry
 go to Williams College to morrow. Not even
 the Cabinet will accompany the President. General McVeagh expects to go to Long
 Branch tomorrow to get the cottages ready. The President will probably occupy the cot tage of C. G. Frankelin. This will be reserved exclusively for the President and physi- cians. Another cottage near by will be set
 apart for Mrs. Garfield and family. A third cottage will probably be used as an office by r6ar kba oy,1 calling regulations will be observed as now exist at the White House. The train will probably leave Washington at a. m. of the day which may be selected. It is proposed to make no stops except for water or in case the President gets too tired. It is proposed to run forty miles an hour where the road IS straight and the whole trip will be made within a day unless some unexpected event occurs. There are no arrangements for the press. The train will follow the main line of the Pennsylvania road to Monmouth Juno ton and thence over the Amboy line to "the
 Branch" No spur track will be built at that end A track from Washington monu- ment to the White House has been talked of again, but not decided on. The plan now is to run the car up to the monument and carry bim on his bed through the public grounds to the car, thus avoiding the crowd and noises. Two cars of the special train arrived to-day and are at the Baltimore and Potomac
 depot One is a common baggage car and the other the elegant private car of
 the president of the road. This is a plain affair outside, but elegant within It is
 the same car that carried the President
 elect from Mentor and took ex-President Hayes to his home from Washington. This will be for the use of Mrs. Garfield during the trip. A combination car has arrived at the depot. It looks like any other parlor car as it stands on the track. It
 will not be unlocked until tomorrow. The
 present plan is to carry the President to the
 car on his bed and then transfer him to water mattress. This mattress will be about four feet by six and consists of a double rub
 ber sheet filled with water. The President
 will be laid on this and perfect freedom from
 jar and jolt, it is hoped, will thus be secured.
 it will stand on frame about two feet from
 the floor. One of the physicians stated to- night that an order for the frame work was
 given at 10 o'clock to night and was to be put
 1p in the car tomorrow morning The same
 doctor said the President would leave on
 Tuesday.
 FILLED WITH THE IDEA OF REMOVAL.
 The latest news from the sick room before
 the mansion was closed for the night was to
 the effect that the President was getting
