IN MARYLAND.
BALTIC Sept 6-The train with the
President passed the Union depot in this
city at SOP. The President has stood the
fatigue of the travel with remarkable
fortitude His pulse is even less frequent
than it was before leaving Washington.
1t is now 106. The arrangements are so
complete in every detail that inconveni-
ence to the President is reduced almost
to minimum. The bed upon which he
is now lying was so carefully adjusted
that the vibration was hardly noticeable.
The train ran from Washington to Balti-
more at an average speed of 80 miles an
hour. 1t was found this rate cause
less annoyance than if it was reduced
one-half. At o'clock the President took
three ounces of beef tea with relish. The
train passed Perrymans, 26 miles east Of
Baltimore, at $50 The following dis
patch was dropped from the train ::

higher than for several days. Otherwise
