WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The President at
the depot appeared greatly emaciated. His
face was carewor and thin, but natural.
Gen. Swain said he had not been the least
disguieted, but enjoyed the ride. At $40
he was taken from the room to an express
wagon, which was backed up to the front
portico. Bliss, Boynton, Reyburn, Swain,
Rockwell and Corbin carried him. G. D.
Rockwell and Warren Young remained
with the patient during his removal to the
depot. The President reclined easily on
his bed, where he has been SO many days
his breast, and his left arm was stretched
at full length upon the coverlet. His head
was covered by a linen cloth, and there
was a patient and resigned expression on
his countenance.. He was carefully and
tenderly deposited in the wagon, and at
$50 the horses were started for the depot.
The bystander swere greatly relieved, as
many considered this the most perilous
part of the journey. The remainder of the
pat PACtCQC0 tHc conveyance W Ills Qe-
pot. The President cheerily but feebly
lifted his left hand and waved a farewell
as the conveyance moved away from the
mansion, whose inmates were on the porch
to wish him godspeed. The wagon was
driven slowly, never faster than q walk.
One man was at the head Of each horse for
precaution. No incident occurred. The
crowd was orderly and anxious, not only
for his transportation in safety, but to see
the President. This was easy, for the
President was breathing pure morning air,
not yet sultry. AT the depot the horses
were unhitched and the wagon backed up
to the Presidents car. He was moved as
before, not so easily, but successfully,
without being disturbed. He was trans
fered from his bed to the spring bed, the
rest of the party occupying seats. At $50
the train moved out.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.-The following
notes were thrown off as the train sped by:
To DR.. Baxter-Pulse on leaving, ia !;

CHESTER (Pa.). Sept. 6.-While the To-
tOAAOtiNC Vi bnC 4 I6sluCub tTdlu WAS Tc-
ceiving coal at Lamokin, DR.. Agnew told
DIR. Miner of that city that the President
had improved since he left Washington,
and was getting ON very comfortably.
They were glad to get out of Washington,
for the heat was oppressive. The doctors
on the train were pleased with the pro-
gress the President was making. The car
was quite free from jolt or jar, and they
had high hopes OF reaching Long Branch
with no bad results. The President had
suffered very little fatigue, and DIR. Agnew
seemed in excellent spirits.
CHICAGO, Sept. Ca private dispatch
from a gentleman on the train with the
President, says everything is most salts
factory and the President is going to get
we'll. This was at half-past 10 O'Clock.
WILMINGTON (Del.), Sept. 6.-The party
passed at 9:47. There were 1900 people
at the depot. His pulse was said to be a
little higher.
LAMsKIS (Pa.). Sept. e.-The Presidents
train ran from Wilmington here, IA miles
in IA minutes, cooled In 7 minutes and
left at 1921.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Cdr. Boynton

promises to be q perfect success. He is

than when he started. His pulse on leav-
ing Washington was ia, and at philadel-
phia LOG. The train passed the Trenton
depot at 11:46.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.--The President
continues to do well. There was a brief
stop at Bay View, and the wound was sue
cessfully dressed. The speed then made
was 80 miles an hour. No discomfort was
felt by the President. The vibration OF
the bed was no greater than at q lower rate
OF speed. The train ran over the p. W. &
b. Division Of the road at 40 miles an
hour. When the President was informed
that more than half the journey was COM
pleted he was greatly pleased, and said
this was decidedly the most interesting
day of any since he was shot.

passed here at 1928, running at a mile q
minute.
ELBERoN IN. ~, Sept. 6.-The train ar
rived here at lilo P. NJ.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. Cdr. Hamilton
arrived this morning. He said he believes
the removal will be beneficial, because
of the change Of scene from the malarious
climate Of Washington, and Of the effect
on the President of his wish being COM
piled with, he thought he would mend at
once. At. $3.50 a squad OF regulars ar
rived from Governors Island, under Cap
tain J. M. ingalls,, numbering 80. They
will be stationed about the cottages. The
cottages are all ready. The press repor-
ters are complaining Of the very made
quate telegraph facilities. The nearest Of
fee to the Presidents cottage Ia a mile
away. A land breeze is blowing and 1t 10
quite sultry.
LrxIsaros (Ky.). Sept. Ex-Governor
Blackburn in an interview says he still be-
lieves the President will die ; that the ball
struck his spine. and has now gone down, |
carrying considerable pus with 1t. which
will form another cavity. His nutriment
is insufficient to repair the drain and give
him strength. Ex-Congressman Black
burn expressed the belief that his physi-
clans were not cheering him, and he would
die. He was a splendid fellow, and would
do his duty and treat the South fairly.
His stalwart successor would be the re-
verse, and would be worse than the devil
tn the South. |
