by any means hopeless, and added
that he thought the President would
receive much benefit from the pleas
ant weather which could reasonably
be expected at Long Branch during
this month and the next. DR.. Ag-
new stated emphatically that the
President never had an abSceSS on
the lung. 1t was merely circum-
serlbed lntiammatory trouble in the
nature of bronchial pneumonia.
WEDNESDAYS RECORD.
Long Branch, IA, I.3Oam.-Secre-
tary Lincoln just saw the President.
He says he expected to see a very
i'll man, and that his expectations
were realized. He had not seen the
President since the afternoon he
was shot, and, of course, a great
change had taken place. The con-
versation was very brief and entirely
personal. No business matters
were referred to. The secretary
only remained in the sick room
about minute. At this hour the
favorable condition continues.
Elberon, l4.-At the examination
of the President, at $50 this morn
ing, the temperature was 9S.4,
pulse 100, respiration 10. He
passed the night cOmforta jly,
sleeping sufficiently. He is bright
and cheerful this morning, and has
taken fruit and his first meal for
the day with relish.

T. II. HAMILTON.
1880 a.m.-The Presidents pulse
is now %. DR.. Bliss says he passed
"a good night and awoke refreshed
this morning The febrile rise came
on about 10 am, and commenced
passing off before &. The President
commences the day as fayorably as
yesterday, and has not a single dis
turbing symptom. The weather
continues fine, is perfectly clear, eX-
| eepting over the ocean, where a
beautifully tinted haze prevails.
Hamilton is satisfied with the pro-
gress of the patient, as are also
Swain and Rockwell. Should the
President make the request, to-day,
he will again be placed in his re-
clining chair for short time.
The President has been placed in
his reclining chair.
At the request of Attorney-Gen-
eral Mac Veagh the temporary track
from the Central Railroad of New
jersey to Francklyn Cottage, will
not be re moved at present.
After the President was comfort
ably settled down in his chair he
expressed a sense of qualification
and remarked: "This should have
been commenced three weeks ago"
2 p.m.-The President has just
been removed from his reclining
chair to his bed, remaining in the
chair for an hour and half, during
which time he had quite nap. His
head was elevated AID his feet were
permitted to drop to about an angle
of thirty degrees. DR.. Bliss says he
was rather reticent about being put
to bed. The disturbance did not
change the pulse or temperature.
At this hour the pulse is 1G4, tenn
perature 9S.S, respiration 10.
TO LOWELL, LONDON.
Elbern, 14.-There has been an IN
crease this evening of the PreSi-
dents temperature, pulse and respi-
ration. but it is so slight as not
necessarily to indicate the condition
of blood as producing any new COM
plications. The trouble in the right
lung is not increasing, and is caus-
ing less annoyance. He has taken
adequate nourishment, and his sleep
has been natural and refreshing. so
that S1if he has gained nothing, he
has probably lost nothing during the
day.
(Signed) MACVEAGH.
Long Branch, 14.-With the eX-
ception of high temperature and
pulse in the afternoon bulletin, the
Presidents case is conceded to be as
favorable as yesterday. The doctor
said the high temperature was SIM
ply owing to the earlier presence of
the usual febrile rise, and that no
apprehension was warranted. Col.
Rockwell considered the President
slightly better He passed last night
very we'll. He coughed about three
times, and expectorated quite freely
and without difficulty. L feel en-
couraged with his general condition.
especially as there have been no I'M
favorable symptoms developed. l
think it will be quite comfortable
for the President here until the early
part of October. The weather is
generally pleasant until that time. L
think when he gains strength he
will desire to 90 home to Mentor.
OF course, he is very sick man and
extremely weak, but each day that
passes without the developing of
unfavorable symptoms is day of
progress.
There has been considerable COM
ment to-day rela i've to the state
ments published to the effect that
the Presidents blood is perfectly
pure. The prevailing impression
among gentlemen of high official
rank is that the Presidents blood is
impure, and that septic@mia exists;
