ocean is hazy and the weather sultry.
Col. Corbin said, early this morning the
President had passed fair night and was
quite comfortable and while he had slept

might have done. The attending surgeons
say the morning bulletin tells the whole
story.
1t is the idea of Dr. Bliss to make the
bulletins more detailed and comprehensive.
Notwithstanding the slight rise and
temperature noted in this mornings bulletin,
the President is considered quite as well
as yesterday, further than this little can be
said, in as much as there are no details to
explain and the President is

FALSE RUMoRs
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 1o.-The various
rumors afoat indicate that somebody is de-
termined to create false impression, that
the President is worse. Although the sur
geons have not been personally seen for an
hour or so, it is reliably stated that the
President continues to improve and Eoth-
ing unfavor able is observable. The rain
has ceased and the atmosphere is oppres-
sively heavy.

geons that the patient is doing nicely.
During the night febrile rise caused the
pulse to run up to a comparatively higher
figure, but it soon decreased again. AS
matter of fact the President did not COM
naence the day under as favorable cir
cunstances as yesterday, but after
the morning dressing he began to grow
stronger, and at o'clock his condition
compared favorably with that of yesterday
and there were no alarming indications.
DIR. Agnew states that he considers the
President quite as well as yesterday.
B1A1NE's REPORT
Secretary Blaine has sent the following
to Lowell Medical reports to-day are all
favorable, at morning, noon and night.
The President has not for many weeks
done SO well for so many consecutive hours.
He has had very little fever, the respiration
has been normal and the pulse has not ex
sceeded 1o0 He slept without opiates and
gained strength without stimulants. His
nights are not so restful as could be desir-
ed, but in % hours he gets sufficient sleep.
The weather, though not excessively warm,
continues sultry and oppressive. Much is
hoped from the clear, bracing air which
mi,y be expected here this season.
wHAT BLISS THINKS.
Dr. Bliss said tonight - Everything is
going on splendidly. There win be no
further trouble from the gland. The Pres

been isol ated from the cabinet officers for a
long time, and expressed desire to see

him to see the members quietly and separ-
ately. Thier visits viii be very brief and

ate this morni ug some woodcock, an zen
tire piece of toasted bread, except the
crust and some cruel; at noon another
bird and beef extract and this evening he

nausea last night was without the slightest
foundation. By accident he took an un-
usual quantity of beef extract and became
little uncomfortable
DR.. Bliss insisted that there is nothing
of q serious character about the lungs IF
there had been it would have developed.
The aatness found in the lungs was ex

bility, hypodelic congestion caused by the
passage of the bali through the border of
the diaphragm. If there was trouble there
caused by septicemia, it would be pro-
nounced in the temperature. There would
