Stomach Disturbance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The morning bul
letin, which mentioned that the President had
vomited twice during the night, caused con-
siderable apprehension throughout the city,
and many inquiries were made at the EXecr-
tive mansion as to the cause. The attending
surgeons explained the vomiting was occa-
stoned by the collection of phlegm IN the
throat, and no serious consequences were ex-
pected to follow. The first disturbance of the
stomach took place about 10 o'clock last night,
but it was not noticed as being of any import
ance, but when it occurred second time about
, a. M, it was then considered to be very un-
favorable Soon after the second, however,
the patient asked for and was given a quantity
ofmilk porridge, which he retained without
difficulty. Not long after taking this he par
took of squirrel broth which he appeared to
relish very much.
One of the attendants upon the President
reported in the morning the glandular affec-
ton was decreasing rapidly, and that the
wound was discharging triie more freely
than it had been recently. The attendants said
as the discharge from the gland ceases the flow
of pus from the wound increases. No notice
able change in the character of the wound
has yet taken place. DR.. Boynton expressed
the opinion that the President, notwiths tand-
ing the gastric disturbance which he expert
enced during the night, was somewhat better
than yesterday.
AT LONG BRANCH.
Speaking of accommodations at Long
Branch the doctor said it would probably be
necessary to have two or three cottages to ac-
commodate the patient and those who would
have to accompany him. 1t is understood
to be the intention to have
guards around the patients quarters
at Long Branch similar to that which has
been kept about the Executive mansion and
admittance to the neighborhood of the Presi-
dents family only be allowed by pass.
PHLEGM SECRETION.
DIR. BoYton does not attribute any particu.
lar importance to the fact of the Presidents
having vomited last night inasmuch as he has
been taking nourishment ever since without
difficulty. The doctor says as it was due sole
ly to the secretion of phlegm it will
not materially changed the Presidents gen.
eral condition. He has been doing very well.
MRS. GARFIELD PLEASED.
1t is said by those intimate with the family
that Mrs. Garfield is much pleased with the
idea of the Presidents being moved from the
influences of the malarious atmosphere which
surrounds the White house to a more health
full locality. It Is generally conceded by
those acquainted with the facts that
the President will be removed hetween
tomorrow and Wednesday, providing he re-
mains in as good condition as at present and
the weather is favorable.
MAC yEAGH
Attorney General MacVeagh said he did moi
consider the gastric trouble of last night
would interfere in any manner with the Pres
ident's removal. DR.. Reyburn said the patient
was as well as could reasonably be expected
The vomiting which occurred last night had
entailed no unfavorabe results. There had been
more or less trouble at different times recently
from the secretion of phlegm in the throat
he said, but no particular importance had been
attached thereto because the occurrences did
not in any serious way affect the stomach In
reply to question as to when the President
would be moved, Dr. Reyburn said he thought
not before Wednesday, but the earliest oppor-
tnnity would be taken advantage Of It en-.
tirely depends on the patients condition and
surrounding circumstances, such as wea ther
WIND ON THE STOMACH.
pr. Bliss says the President is doing very
nicely indeed. Last nights disturbance OF
the stomach does not necessarily interfere
with the Presidents removal. The glandula,
complication is about all gone, but there is
still some discharge. The vomiting was more
from the effects of wind on the stomach thar
anything else.
ROUTE TO LONG BRANCH.
Attorney General MacVeagh, who has con
Quoted the correspondence with the Pennsyl
vania railroad officials for the removal of tn,
President to Long Branch, says the route ovel
which the special train would proceed will b.
direct from Washington TO West PHILADELPHIA
thence to Monmouth Junction, N
j. At the latter point a spe
cial train will leave the main line
of the Pennsylvania road and proceed to
