Unfavorsble Rumors.
LONG BRANCH, September S-A ru-
NOR prevailed late tonight that the
President had yomited during the
evening. 1t is believed that
theI 4 umor originated from the fact
that the President ate little too hearth

the President was wakeful and restless
during the early part of the night, his
condition this morning is quite satisfac.
tory. After the morning dressing DR..

the night, but slept very we'll after ~
o'clock.

9S.7, respiration IS"
"Well, that is good ground for en-
coursgement, is it not?"
at is first rate"
DR.. Revburn considered the Presi-
dents condition this morning better
than on yesterday. The unusual rest
lessness IN the early part Of the night is
attributed to the intense heat OF yester-
day. To-day it is not quite so close, the
winds having shifted to the northwest.
Cooler weather is anxiously looked for,
and il is thought that with it will come
favorable change for the President.
The Presidents Appetite.

morning. When given some chicken
broth, he remarked to his wife that he

spiration about normal.
Withdrawal Of Mrs. DR.. Edison.
LONG BRANCH, September s.-There
is much comment on the retirement OF
three attending physicians, and some
persons are inclined to believe that the
matter is extraordinary and surroun nded
by mystery. InformatiCn obtained from
an authoritative sourc :, however, does
not appear to warrant any such opinion.
Mrs. DR.. Edison, one OF the nurses, also
retires from her duties in that capa Ity,
and she and DR.. Woodward expect to
leave the Branch to-day. This move
ment is explained by those who ale in a
position to know by the statement that
the President recently informed his wife
that he would prefer having all male at
tendants hereafter.
