Feeling Better in Eyesy Way.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 10-The weather has
been stormy and disagreeable, but the day, Sc
far as the President is concerned, may be
summed up as being favorable one, reports
to the contrary Notwithstanding. In the Ian
guage of one of the immediate attendants the
President has been as much better to-day COM
pared with yesterday, as he was yesterday CON-
pared with Thursday. In other words he has
made little gain, and expressed himself as
fully better in every way. Incidents of the day
have been few.
All the members of the cabinet paid their
customary daily visits to the Presidents quar-
ters this afternoon, and about 3 O'Clock Secre-
tary Window was ushered into the sick room.
The secretary ON entering took the hand of
the President and Informed him there was
nothing in the treasury department requiring
his attention, and after exchanging few 9TH
er remarks withdrew. The President simply
acknowledged the secretary's statement with
out comment.
Secretary Window appears to be satisfied
with the Presidents appearance, and is of
opinion he is improving.
Col. Corbin says the febrile rise appears to
be making its appearance later in the evening
than usual, but is not so severe as before
the President left Washington. The colonel
thinks the President will remain here until
the middle or latter part of October, or 20
down the southern coast on the Tallapoosa.
Dr.. johnson said, this afternoon: The
President had little more fever last night
and during the febrile rise the pulse ran up
high, but no serious apprehensions were
caused by it. This morning he was not so
bright as yesterday and his ge neral condition
was not as favorable, but after the dressing,
commenced to improve and he is now as well
as he was at this time yesterday. There is no
cause for alarm at unfavorable statements
of the case. There will be some
days which will not be as favorable as others.
He cannot be expected to get along without
some dull days. If he has no more serious
trouble than he has had to-day shall be per-
fectly satisfied.

dent passed the best day he has had for three
weeks. He says so himself. There is abso-

Gen. Swain said, "The President is better
to-day than yesterday. Each successive day
brings its special Improvement. Reports that
he is worse are all nonsense and without foun-
dation. The discharge from the wound at the
evening dressing was better than for weeks"
DR.. Bliss stated this evening that the Presi-
dent had very good day. He is quite conf
dent the ball has become thoroughly eneysted.
He had only succeeded in getting the cleansing
catheter ten inches into the wound at the dres-
sing, and was quite sure the wound was healed
from that depth to the ball. The evening
dressing occurred at o'clock to-day, an hour
earlier than usual, because the
President was anxious to have
it over and requested it be done at that time

ing fever, which has been high the last two
nights, is the result of malarious Infection.
Speaking on this subject DR.. Bliss said: "We
are gong to get rid of that fedrile rise very
soon. You may predict in your dispatches
that he will show a gain by tomorrow.
