 | WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The President was
 safely removed from the White House soon
 after sunrise this morning. All the prepara-
 tions had been completed thoroughly last
 night, and everything was quiet at the White
 House until shortly before dawn. At that
 time policemen were placed at the street
 corners and along Pennsylvania avenue at all
 the intersections With instructions to allow
 no one to pass after 5:3O 8. m. The train
 had been backed down on the new track
 across Pennsylvania avenue, and was in
 readiness to receive the President at any
 moment. The removal was effected without ! difficulty, and every detail that had been planned was successfully executed. The l President was lifted with his bed, which was placed on stretcher especially made for it. ! He was asleep at the time under the influence l of morphine, the surgeons having desired to
 Keep him unconscious at least until he was 1 on the train. The stretcher was raised by Doctors Bliss, Boynton and Reyburn, and l Colonels Rockwell, Corbin and Swain. They l came out into the corridor without any great difficulty, the President seeming not to be
 conscious of what was going on. While they were coming down the horses were attached l to the large express wagon and the driver took his seat The stretcher was placed in the wagon and upon the knees of the gentlemen who bore it and at
 ten minutes of six the wagon started
 They drove down the roadway to the gate at slow pace, and the President did not open
 his eyes. At the gate, however, a very slight
 jolt as they turned into the avenue caused
 him to toss his head upon the pillow. pr.
 Bliss sat feeling his pulse and Colonel Rock well and General Swain were flaming him.
 The horses walked down the avenue, which was kept entirely clear of vehicles, and con- paratively very few people were on the side walks. The face of the President was visi-
 ble from the street. and he seemed like one sound asleep, excepting that now and then he tossed his head. His face seemed greatly emaciated, but not, perhaps, so much as was generally anticipated; and in general appear ance his features were entirely familiar He lay upon the mattress covered with blankets and one single sheet and coverlid, and his head rested upon low pillow. When Tenth street was reached there was a slight jolt, which caused him to turn his head quickly and open his eyes. There was, however, no consciousness in his glance, and he quickly CaI t6aoo 4-1 ,rT,o
 He was driven along without any further in- cident perfectly quiet until the train was reached. The horses were then taken from the wagon, and ten soldiers seized the pole and worked it very gently, backing the wag- on up to the car without trouble Here there was very little delay the stretcher
 being lifted without trouble and taken into the car and placed upon the bed there specially prepared for it. The President was reported by the doctors to be doing exceed ingly well and seemed to be soundly sleeping when they placed him on the train. Mrs.
 Garfield and her family were already abroad,
 and everything was in readiness to start.
 They were waiting simply for the arrival of the New York express train, and that soon
 came in sight, The order was then given by
 Colonel Rockwell and the pilot engine No.

 were five minutes in getting the stretcher aboard and making all arrangements, and the
 tram started at twenty minutes past six.
