| STORY OF THE DAY.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1881.
In five days the general condition of
the President has made no improve
ment, Since Monday he has gained no
strength. The evidence of his being
better, as shown by the more healthy
color of his skin, the removal OF the
canker from his tongue and the re-
newal of his own spirits, are the same
to day as the were on Monday, and, as
natural result, the people about the
J White House are becoming somewhat
discouraged. "He is very weak, said
DR.. Boynton to-day. -,
"Weaker than he was on Monday p
l asked.
\. "Certainly weaker than he was ter
days ago."
'sIs there NO improvement sinc'
= Monday in the general condition OF th
q President ?"
q "His face is much better. Tb
wound, the original seat of the trouble
II has NJ t improved any,"
"And what are the prospects in you
= judgment, to-day :"
"That the President should b.
Il moved away just as soon as posi-
$ ble."
. 1t is the prevailing opinion anon
y the physicians here who have an op
portunity to form opinions out Of tn
conversations they have with the OF
tending surgeons that the President
10 being kept up by means Of the stimu
70 lants which are administered six time
. in twenty four hours, and which con
i. sist Of whiskey, usually about an ounc
=. at q time, and sometimes brandy.
al is understood that the amount admiI
10 istered has not been increased sine
ID Monday, although it has been enoug
!. y. to excite the digestive organs TO pc
:. ~ form their duties. The doctors pr
IT. Tess to no longer have any fear OF u
n. stomach, although by 1t they seek
IN rebuild the wasted strength 30 that Il
treatment of the wound may be r
sumed with greater promise.
-. CAR FoH THE PRESIDENT.
H. Some railroad men with whom tai
o. view of having car fitted up with II
III bed OF cot swung from the roof OF q
~ car. They point out that the maximu
by vibration OF q car in motion Ia at the to
o. Besides, that such q car could not
G. built in Q week or even ten days tor q
reason that springs would have to
made, tested and regulated. In tact 81
N. construction would come from pl,
to now in an inchoate state, to say u
as least. However, he could be moved
m a car aud without difficulty, altboul
.ys probably with more risk than on .
he raIlapoosa. This question 10 not like
nd to be definitely settled before to-morre
tes morning, however.
Of ANXIOUS TO GO.
.n .l's To-day DR.. Boynton asked the Pre-
10 dent If he thought he could be NOV
and taken through the cars and near u
trains 60 by without being affected ther
by, and the President repiied that
thought he could stand the noise, al
added that he wanted TO go very ve
nv much.
