RESTLESS.
Washington, 5.-The President
passed a restless, somewhat uneasy
day to day, more from anticipation
of his removal than his physical
condition. His first question on
awakening this morning, as this
the last day heref" gave evidence of
the anxiety with which he awaited
his removal. All day long he talked
of going away and of his trip, and
in consequence of the excitement
there was a recurrence of the fever
ish symptoms. When the bulletins
were first posted, before it was
known to what exciting cause
the increased fever was due,
there was a revival of apprehension
among those VINO read them, and all
sorts of wild reports were in circu-
lation. Among other rumorS was
one that the President was growing
weaker hourly, and another that the
doctors had abandoned the contem-
plated trip to Long Branch. These
rumors were fortunately found
without foundation. In CONVERSE
ton with the Western Associated
Press reporter, DR.. Bliss and DR..
Boynton emphatically asserted that
there had been no unfavOrable
change IN the Presidents con-
dition, and the latter stated
in express terms that in' his
opinion the President was in
a condition to be removed and
wound stand the trip. The evening
bulletin, noting the decrease in the
feverish symptoms, was gladly
hailed every where, and confidence
in the Presidents successful re-
mOval was somewhat restored.
Dr.. Boynton, in reply to a ques-
ton as to the Presidents condition
to-day, said: 81 think the President
is doing very well to-day. He is
better than he has been for q week
past. His pulse varied considerably
of late. It is not specially signifi-
cant. At present his pulse is firm
and Notwithstanding the figures
shown by the bulletin, l consider the
President is doing well. The Presi.
dent will mend rapidly in his new
quarters.
BLAINE TO LOWELL:
This has been the hottest day OF
the season, and the heat has told
upon the President. His pulse and
temperature has been higher than
for several days past. In other
respects there has been no special
change either favorable or adverse
1t is expected that he will be re.
meved to Long Branch tomorrow
1t is hoped the sea air will
strengthen him.
