At II a. IN. the president sent for
the surgeons and Drs. Bliss and

some alarm by their rapid move

LONG BRANCH, September 49,
The presidents condition continues
favorable. No Ill effects have been
realized from his being placed in a
chair, and there was no change in
his pulse or temperature in conse-
quence of his removal from the bed
and back again. He enjoyed the
change. He was placed in a posi-
ton commanding full view of the
ocean, and was elevated at an angle
of about forty-five degrees. He was
removed to his bed at his own re-
quest, not because he was tired, but
because he thought it best not to
overdo the matter. DR.. Bliss still
maintains that the president is con-
valescing, and that there are no in
dications of blood poisoning. lie
holds out that the complications arc
gradually passing away, and says he
does not apprehend further trouble

with the guns near at hand, to be
used to protect themselves. On

shots were fired in rapid succession.

firing at teamsters and landed them
