TIE PRESIDENT BECOMING AFFECTED BY THE
WEATHER AND HALARlA-BIs SYMPTOMS
TAKING Az INTERMITTENT CHARACTER.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, September s. Noon.
The condition OF the President has not ma
teraily changed since yesterday, although
be was thought this morning to be a little
weaker add less animated. There seems
to be a growing impression among his
attendants that ne is beginning 10 be unfa-
vorably affected by the weather, and by
ihe malarous air from the Potomac
river fats Immediately south OF the
Executive Mansion. The rank vegetation
which, ferillized by the city sewage and
STIMULATED by abundant wuter and hot sun
shine, covers these fats during the SUN
mer, is now beginning TO decay, and sine
Yesterday morning isint malodorous mist
has hung over the river from the water
front OF the Executive Mansion grounds to
the Long bridge. Almost every man who
has recently been engaged in the work Of
improving the channel Of the river has been
more or less sick from malaria.
DR.. Hamilton said yesterday 10 Colonel
Crook, who took bin for drive down
the left bank Of the Potomac opposite the
fats. that the President had not much
chance TO live IN such an atmosphere as that
carried by the s0utheily wind every day
from these flats 10 toe windows OF his room,
aud that in his opinion the necessity OF re-
moval il now urgent.
One Of the attending surgeons said to
friend this morning that the Presidents
svmpioms had, he thought, taken on
slightly an intermittent character within
the p.st four days. Wednesday morning
be seemed brighter and more animated.
| Thursday be was lees so. Yesterday was
good day, and this morning The patient
seemed weaker and more laDguid. de lthe
surgeon) thought the President ought not
10 remain here an hour longer than neces
sary, and he would vote for speedy re.
moval. The risk to be run in ticking him
away was not, IN his opinion, as great as
the risk Of allowing him to remain here.
The patients condition has improved
little since early morning, and is now about
the same as yesterday. Or. Agnew arrived
