sanguine feeling among the attendants this
morning.
LONG BRAEcH, Sept. General Swain
is feeling in good spirits this morning, and
thinks the change during the night was al
most marvellous. 1t having been decided
to issue official bulletins but twice per day
is another good indication. and tends to
prove that the surgeons do not anticipate
the occurrence of anything serious. The
weather to-day is said to be the hottest of
the season-90 degrees in the shade, with
a land breeze blowing.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 7.-Noon-The
Presidents continues favorable, and the
attending surgeons and Cabinet officers
express themselves as entirely satisfied
with the present outlook. The morning
bulletin had the effect of allaying all I'M
e~asiness on the part of those who were ex-
tremely anxious last night, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the favorable change
will continue. The fact of the President
having had sufficient recuperative power to
rally from his depressed condition last
night is received as a very good indication
that his recovery is but a matter of time.
DR.. Bliss thinks the ocean air will hence
forth have a decidedly bracing effect on
the patient.
LoNG BRANCH, Sept. lib P. M.-The.
President is reported to be passing a good
day. The excessive heat affects him some
what, but his general condition is encour-
aging and he is holding the gain which he
made during the night.

Boynton says the pulse at noon, though

New YORK, Sept. IA private dispatch
from Long Branch says there is. general
and hearty satisfaction over the Presi-
dents condition among all his attendants.
New YORK, Sept. From various cor
respondents are collected the following
scenes in the memorable events Of yester-
day: Mrs. Edison said: When we were just
this side Of Ferrysville, Mr.. Ely came in
and told the surgeons they had gone the
last seven miles in five minutes. Some
one then asked the President il he thought
they were going too fast, and he answered
ooh, no; let her CO." There was some Jar
which the President noticed before the end
Of the journey, because, when he got there,
he said: "My back feels as though it had
had a good pounding" This was the only
expression Of complaint he made. He has
looked around him q good deal, but IL too
tired to give much expression either by
words or looks as to what he thinks. He
seems to delight in looking out of the win
dow towards the sea. We will have TO let him
have the sea breeze gradually, but he likes
it. When he happened to get q little smell
a few minutes ago he said; "Oh, that's
good"
The manager Of the Elberon Hotel said
the President showed a lively interest in
the trip. Frequently he asked for more
information about the locality the train
had been passing through, or the rate Of
speed at which the train had been running.
One Of the principal things that encour-
aged the physicians was the confidence
that the President displayed in the success
Of the trip. He seemed to feel certain that
the removal would take place without
any. accident. He appears to be less
anxious about Its result than those around
him.
A Very Destructive Fire.
EAST SAGINAW, Sept Reports Of the
ravages Of the fire continue to come along
the Saginaw Valley and st. Louis road.
Twenty-one miles are burned over on both
sides Of the track, and 80 or 40 buildings
burned, including household goods, grain
and stock. In Tuscola County damage
has been done to the extent OF $50, 900,
and the fire is still sweeping over a large
area. Owing to the excitement it is diff
cult to arrive at the losses in this county.
East Of here great damage has been done,
hundreds Of acres having been burned
over and many buildings destroyed. The
OF Clio narrowly escaped destrnc-
ton to-day, and Is not yet out OF danger. |
The Indian settlement, seven miles below
this city, is surrounded by fire. and will
probably be wiped out before tomorrow
night. Hundreds OF farms are already
to a blackened desert. The stock, |
fences and all farm buildings are
swept away; absolutely nothing Is
left. Several lives are known to
be lost. Mem, women and children
have been overtaken by the flames and
suffocated by the sitting heat. 1t is feared
that when full accounts are received the
losses may prove terrible. The little Ham
let's Of Anderson, RichmondviHe and
Charles, in Sanilac County, are all report
cd wiped out, while Port Hope, Verona
Mills and Badax, in Huron County, are
reported wholly or partly burned up. Peo-
pie are Hooking to the shore Of Lake Hu-
ron from the interior Of these counties as
the only refuge from the devouring flames,
and are sometimes overtaken by the
spreading fire. Not less than 30 deaths
ire reported, but II ia hoped that some OF
these statements may yet prove incorrect.
In the next tier OF counties, back from
Lake Huron and south OF Saginaw, fires
ire also raging, but with no great severity.
still, the losses there are simply over
'hadowed by the more terrible state OF
,hings in the adjoining counties. The
anne state Of affairs Is true in Lapier
The whole country around Sag
nav and Bay City Is also ablaze from the
taking fire, and reports of many
