LONG BRANCH, NJ, Sept. ID, II a. M
Although the morning bulletin did not make a
good showing on it's face, still the President is
doing well. At 10 o'clock the doctors decided
to give the patient a change. A day or two ago
an invalid or reclining chair was received from
Washington. The President was lifted from his
bed to this chair this morning, and remained in
it an hour. During the morning his pulse fluc-
tuated wildly, but it soon settled down to the
figures of the morning bulletin. The position
| occupied by the President while in the chair was
recumbent one He said ''Ths is delightful;
it is such change" Hereafter each day he
will spend an hour or so in the chair. An ex-
animation will be made tonight to ascertain if
the change of position has changed the position
of the ball.
Secretary Lincoln left for Rye Beach this
morning. This leaves Attorney General Mac
Veagh the only member of the Cabinet here.

THE LUNG TR0UBLE-THE uNEASINESs OF THE
PHYSICIANS STILL APPARENT-AN ALLEGED
REFLECTION ON DIR. BLlSS-A STAR ROUTE
CONFERENCE.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 13, 12 m.-The fact that
the Presidents respiration is again at tw enty
gives the doctors no little concern, despite the
assertion that the trouble with the lung will
yield to treatment. DR.. Bliss will not say what
the treatment is. 1t is explained by Dr. Boyn-
ton in this wise:-He says the Presidents throat
is filled with phlegm, which gives him some
trouble to get his BREATH and thus increases the
rapidity of breathing. He does not say the Pres
ident has an abscess on his lungs, but he is
afraid one is liable to develop.
MORE CHEEKY FEELING.
The feeling about Elberon to-day is more
CHEEKY than yesterday. Gen. Swaim who staid
in the sick room all last night, said the pat lent
had good night. DR.. Hamilton, at noon, told a
brace of newspaper men that the President was
progressing slowly, still he was progressing.
Attorney General MacVeagh will hereafter send
the Lowell telegram. Secretary Blaine left re-
quest for either Drs. Agnew or Hamilton to take
care of it. This was construed by some to be a
reflection on DR.. Bliss. For this reason Ha,nil-
ton and Agnew turned the matter over to the
Attorney General.
STAR ROUTE CONFERENCE.
Col. VIM. A. Cook and A. NJ. Gibson came
down last night to have conference with the
Attorney General on star route business. Cook
says the government will be ready with it's case
when the grand jury meets, and that the legal
papers on behalf of the government have all been
drawn up.
