THE Presidents symptoms on the
11th were quite unfavorable, compared with
what they had been for several days previ-
Gus. There was an increase of fever, and
noticeable restlcssness, accompanied by high
pulse and temperature. As Mr.. Blaine
telegraphed to England, His general con-
dition gives rise to anxiety"
A DISPATCH from Washington says:
Sergeant Mason, OF Battery B, ID Artillery,
relieving the guard at the Jail on the 11th,
shot at Guiteau through the window Of his
cell and came near killing him. The ball
grazed his head and was imbedded in the
cell wall. Mason was promptly arrested,
taken to the Arsenal and incarcerated.
REPORTS have been received of the
robbery of the village Of Bates City, seven
miles east of Blue Cut, the scene of the re-
cent train robbery on the Chicago g. Alton
Railroad. Two men, heavily armed and
wearing masks, rode into the town, a viii
lage Of about $50 inhabitants, and drawing
and firing their weapons began an indis-
criminate pillage Of the place. The inhab-
itants, it is said, offered no resistance, and
the robbers after securing their booty re-
tired.
A DISPATCH of the 11th in reference
to the recent Missouri train robbery says:
The names OF the parties so far
arrested are: Matt and Creed
Chapman, John Burger, VIM. Murray, An
dy Ryan, John Land, James WilkersOn,
Chas. Fisk and VIM. Stillwell have been ar
rested. Posses are coming in and the gen.
era belief is that the search will be aban-
doned for the present. The prisoners stout
" maintain their innocence and previous
reports OF confession are contradictcd. A
report not authenticated prevails that some
of the missing property had been discovered
in cave near the scene Of the robbery.
Land and Wilkerson are supposed to be
leaders of the gang.

The Presidential train ran over the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington & Baltimore division
of the road forty-nine miles an hour. When
the President was informed that more than
half the journey had been completed. he was
greatly pleased, and said this was decidedly
the most interesting day Of any since he was
shot.
General Superintendent Kenney, of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore d.
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
on the Presidents train. He says 1t is true
that the Presidents pulse fell ten beats
before reaching Baltimore. The Presi-
dent was cheerful, and, when asked if
he would like to travel faster, replied:

says he seemed to be in very good
spirits, and was not under the effects of any
opiates. lie was as rational as could be-,
and occasionally chatted with the doctors.
Mr.. Kenney added that he was surprised to
see the number of people who turned out,
particularly in country places, to witness
the passage Of the train. Even at promi-
nent stations where there were crowds the
people raised their hats with reverence,
and all seemed affected by the gravity Of the
situation.

The Presidents train passed the depot
here at about twenty-five miles an hour.
The Presidents car was apparently tightly
closed, and no bulletin was thrown off.
While the locomotive of the Presidential
train was receiving coal at Lamokln, DR..
Agnew told DR.. Miner, Of this city, that
the President had improved since he left
Washington, and was getting along very
comfortably. They were glad to get out Of
Washington, for the heat was oppressive.
The doctors on the train were well pleased
with the progress the train was making.
The car was quite free from jolt or jar, and
they had high hopes Of reaching Long Branch
with no bad results. The President had
suffered very little fatigue. DIR. Agncw
seemed in excellent spirits.

Along the Route.

BALTIMORE, september o.
The train bearing the President passed
Bowie, seventeen miles this side OF Wash
ington, at 7:1O, Philadelphia time. The fol-
lowing dispatch was thrown off;
"Tbe President is so far doing so well that
the surgeons would like to increase the speed
where it can be safely and comfortably done"
Engine No. 5, in charge Of Train Master
Bell and Assistant Road-Foreman Wallis,
running as pilot engine ahead of the train
bearing the President, passed through the
Union Depot at 7;4S. At the depot perfect
quiet prevailed, the building and track in
the vicinity having been cleared OF all en-
gines and cars. Passing trains had been
held back, and the tunnel from one end
TO the other was entirely clear and free
from smoke. The train bearing the Pres
ident passed at 500 at slow rate
Of speed on the track outside the depot,
making no stop. Few persons were about.
SUPERINTENDENT wilkins received the
dispatches thrown from the train and
handed them to eprcsentatiycs ofthc press,
and kindly gave them the use OF the railroad
wires TO forward their messages into the
city offices.
The President has stocd the fatigues Of
travel up to this hour with remarkable forth
tude. His pulse is even less frequent than
it was before leaving Washington. 1t is
now 106. The arrangements are so COM
plete in every detail that the Inconvenience
10 tho President is reduced to a minimum.
The bed upon which he is now lying is so
carefully adjusted that the vibrations are
hardly noticeable.
The train,ran from Washington TO Balti-
mofe at an average speed of thirty miles per
hour. 1t is found s.is rate OF speed causes
less annoyance thaiffi it was reduced one
half.
AT seven o'clock the President took three
ounces Of beef tea with relish.
