PRESIDENT GARFIELD.
His Condition as Daily TeIexraphed
From Long Branch.


er has been stormy and disagreeable
all day. So far as the president is con-
cerned he may be summed up as be-
ing very favorable, no one reports to
the contrary. Notwithstanding the
language of one of the immediate at
PENDANTS on the president, he has been
as much better to-day compared with
yesterday as he was yesterday COM
pared with Thursday; in other words,
he has made little gain, and express
ed himself as feeling better in every
way. Incidents of the day have been
few. Ali members of the cabinet paid
their testimony by daily visits to the
presidents quarters.
This afternoon at about 3 O'Clock,
Sec'y Window was ushered into the
sick room. The secretary on entering
took the hand of the president and in
formed him there was nothing in the
treasury department requiring his at
tention, and after exchanging a few
other remarks, withdrew. The presi-
dent simply acknowledged the seere-
tarys statement without comment.
Sec'y Window appears tc be satisfied
with the appearance of the presidents
case and is of the opinion that he is
improving. Col. Corbin says the febrile
rise appears to be making ii, appear
ance later in the evening than usual,
but not so severe as before the presl-
dent eft Washington. The colonel
thinks the president will remain here
until the middle or latter part of Oc-
tobor, OF 60 down the southern coast on
the rallapoosa.
Or. Johnson said this afternoon that
the president had little more fever
than last night, and during the febriNe
rise the pulse ran up high, but no seri-
Gus apprehensions were caused by it.
This morning he was not SO bright as
yesterday; general condition is not as
favorable, but after dressing commenced
he improved, and is now as well as he
was at this time yesterday. There is
no cause for alarm of the unfavorable
statements of the case. There will be
some days which will not be as favora-
BILE as others. He cannot expectto get
along without some dull days. If he
has no more serious trouble than he
has had to-day, | shall be perfectly sat
isfied.
At II O'Clock tonight DR.. Agnew said
the president had a very fair day and
was resting well up to this hour. There
has been no sign of a febrlle rise.
ON THE ROAD To RECOVERY.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 12.-To-day has
been favorably throughout according
to the attending surgeons, and the
president is pronounced again on the
road to recovery. Much surprise and
comment is occasioned by the sudden
huctuation, but the surgeons insist that
this can be expected The weather
does not affect him in any degree. This
has certainly been a good day, as the
air has been pure and comparatively
dry. According TO the statements of the
attending surgeons, his pulse fell from
10 at noon, to 100 Il. AT the evening
dressing his temperature was 39.4, to
9S.6; i'll the evening showing there was
comparativ ely no fever. At 6 o'clock
the cabinet received assurances that
there was no immediate danger, and
that the threatened relapse had appar-
emily passed away. The cabinet
will leave with the excep-
ton of the attorney general and Secre-
tary Kirkwood; the former remaining
mere, and the latter remaining in Wash
ington.
The good news from the sick room has
had an enlivening effect, and tonight
the attendants and surgeons are in
good spirits and feel encouraged. -Four
hours ago they were exceedingly APP
prehensive. After the evening bulle-
tin was issued DR.. Bliss said that this
was one Of the presidents good days,
and that he was decidedly better
than he had expected him to be.
The doctor is very positive in his state
ments tonight that all fears of
formation of the pus cavity on the
right lung have passed away, and that
he has reason t. believe the cause of
the dullness indl Gated in the lower part
Of the organ-at least, he says, he is no
worse and thinks he is little better.
The doctor does not think the febrile
rise tonight, if it appears at all, will be
severe.
