SECRETARY KIRKwOOD
IL Very SanguIne About Ihe Recovery OF
the nrCsIhnnf.

the FftsiuCuts
WAsHINGTON, September O-Secrctary
Kirkwood returned from Long Branch this
evening, lie says the President is doing
splendidly, and that he has gained more in
the last twenty-four hours than he did amy
two weeks in Washington. When the
President reached Long Branch, said Sec
retary KirkwOOd, the excessive hot weather
told against him. The old residents there
said they had never known hotter weather.
That prOstrated the President and the doc.
tors felt great anxiety. Yesterday cool
breeze set In, and the reviving effect was
noticed upon the President at once,
Secretary KirkwQod syst the doctors told
him that Il this cool weather lasts and no
new complications arise tho President will
he ont Of danger In ton days. Everybody
is satisfied that the hot spell Is over there
and that the pleasant weather will CON
tinue. The surgeons say they apprchGnd
no new complication in the Presidents
rgse; that they can not conceive Ofany new
danger and hence they feel most hopeful
about him. The President now has good
appetite Rnd relisllGs sOlid food. 4 NIl,
Secretary Kirkwood says that had the hot
weather continued for few days more 1t
would have killed the President. In re-
gard to the report that the Presidents lungs
will be attacked, and arc suffering from
blood poisoning, Secretary Kirkwooh says
he had several talks with the surgeons on
that point, and they assured him that It
was not true. They said they had exam.
ined his lungs with great care, and that
they are in n sound condition and are
properly performing their functions. Ey-
erybody Is till of hope, says the Secretary,
aud the President hilnselfis delighted with
the change, apd believes he il going to re.
cover KirkwoOd says further that the
President maintains the ground he makes
towards recovery by tte sea sIlarg; that in
Washington what he would gain In the
cooler hours Of the night and morning he
would lose during the heat Of the day, but
at Gng Branch every inch toward re.
covery Is held, and That the Presidents
progress is noticeable to all.
