The Presidential party will occupy
three of the haldsomest cottages at
tached to TIE Elbelon Hotel. About q
plDnth ago, before the serious relapse il
the Presidents condition., the Franck.

Cutt?ge won d not afford sufficient aC.
coiumolation for All who must neces-
sarily accompany the sufferer. On

to Washington tendoriug the use of two
additional cottages. The matter was
discussed at thc meeting Of the Cabi-
net yesterday, and despatch WIS re-
Ceived by MIR. Brown in the afternoon

This WAS followed by a letter from Col
oneI R,chwoll, received to-day, saving
that IN view ol the improving condition
OF the Pre- sldent they hoped to be on the
way to ElbcrOn very soon. Very itllt
