from the white house at an early
hour this morning TO the train at the
depot which was to convey him to

cessfully accomplished without any
mishap of noteworthy event. The

cles by police stationed at every in
tersecting point. Numbers of per-
sons remained up all night outside
of the gate of the mansion, and by

the president passed through the
gates about $50 persons had assem-
bled to witness the departure and
obtain glimpse of the patient. BY

detail the convenience of the presi-
dent is reduced to the minimum.
The bed upon which he is now
lying is SO carefully adjusted
that vibration is hardly per-
ceptible. The train ran from
Washington to Baltimore at an av-
erege speed, which caused less an
noyance than if it was reduced one
half. At O'Clock the president took
three ounces of beef tea with relish.
