the early part of the night, his condition
this morning is quite satisfactory. After
the morning dressing DR.. Bliss said the
patient was doing first-rate. He was rest
less during the first part OF the night, but
slept well after - o'clock.
Chow does his condition compare with
that of yesterday? ?" was asked.
"He shows much improvement, and is
better than he has been for the past ten
days"
"Do you anticipate continued improve
ment?"
"Yes ; we will be able, I think to give
You still better news in a day or two."
"How is his pulse and temperature,
Doctor?"
"Good. The pulse is 104, temperature
%, respiration 49,"
"Well, that is good ground for encour-
ment, is it not?"
"First-rate."
DR.. Reyburn considered the Presidents
condition this morning better than y~ester-
day. The unusual restlessness in the early

tense heat of yesterday. To-day il is not
quite so close, the wind having shifted to
the northeast. Cooler weather is anx-
iously looked for, and it is thought that
with it will come a favorable change for
the President.
There is much comment on the retire
ment of three attending surgeons, and
some persons are inclined to believe the
matter is extraordinary and surrounded
with mystery. Information obtained from
an authoritative source, however, does not
appear to warrant any such opinion. Mrs.
Greyson, n OF the nurses, also ~retires,
and she and DR.. Woodward leave the
Branch to-day. This movement is ex-
planned by those in position to know by
the statement that the President recently
told his wife that he would prefer having
all his old attendants henceforth. The
Presidents appetite is much better this
morning. When given some chicken he
remarked to his wife that he felt as if he
could eat it all. This is one of the most
desirable indications. If the patients ap-
petite returns the attendant surgeons will
be sanguine.
DIR. Hamilton, while declining to talk
for publication this morning, indicated by
his remarks he felt very much encouraged

nation continues, and has had the effect OF
cheering all hearts. The feeling in all
quarters is changed from anxiety to the
most sanguine opinions that the President
has at last fairly started on the road to
recovery. DR.. Bliss is authority for the
statement that the President is GONZALES
cent. He made this assertion in the pres
ence OF DR.. Hamilton. The latter gentle
man, who strictly adheres to his policy
not to talk for publication about any
Of his patients, showed by his express
sion that he did not object to the state
ment.
1890 P. M.-Unoficial bulletin-Dr.
Bliss, who has just made an examination
of tho President, says his pulse at this
hour is "a, temperature normal and res
piration II. "This," said the Doctor,
: is the best showing we have had at noon
for some days" The announcement OF
these figures was received with great salts
faction by all. Attorney General Mac
Vaigh expressed the opinion that there is
now apparently good ground for believing
that the rally will be maintained, mas
much as the wind has shifted east, and q
stiff and invigorating sea breeze is now

pure. Services Of prayer for the recovery
OF the President were held to-day in'nearly
all the churches here. At this hour q
general good feeling prevails, and If the
favorable change in the Presidents condi-
ton continues throughout the day, there
will be good reason to believe that he Is
really started on the road to recovery. DR..
Bliss says the wound and gland are both
in excellent condition, and there are at
present no unfavorable symptoms. Mrs.
Garfield, the doctors say, Is extremely
happy over the sudden change for the
better.
Destructive CONFEDERATION.
DETROIT, Sept. photographic commu-
nication is entirely cut off with the worst
parts Of the burnt region Of this State, SO
that the reports are somewhat fragment
cry, and it is hoped, exaggerated. But
there are many fears that the worst is far
from being told. Some are already pre-
dieting that the loss of life will reach 1905
and some higher. The complete destruor
ton Of Mchmondville, sanilac County, is
confirmed. The little villages Of Carson,
Charleston and Tyre are reported COM
pletely destroyed, and Ashley partly. So
are the townships Of Delaware and Austin,
in sanilac County, and Bingham, Sherman
and Baris, in the same County, we're
burned over and destroyed. The crops in
these townships were all harvested and are
all lost. The remains OF q family Of
seven, named Redmond, were found in a
well hear Charleston, they having got into
the well for shelter, and were suffocated.

overtaken by the flames and burned TO
named Dennison are believed to be
burned. Two families named Thornton
and Lee, il 10 feared, fell q prey to the
flames near R~ichmondville. The wind
blew a gale, carrying the fire with q rapid
ity that often prevented escape. Yesterday
afternoon the direction Of the wind
changed, and it is feared that this will add
new destruction, by sending the flames over
that had escaped. There are no
signs Of rain, without which there seems
to be no deliverance. The Board Of Trade
this city yesterday appointed committees
to solicit relief for destitute communities.
It is very evident that a large work in that
direction IL at our doors. Hundreds OF
have lost all their property and
this years crops, and are reduced to q con-
dition Of absolute and immediate want.
CHICAGO, Sept. 8.-A Times Sandbeach, |
Michigan, special says: The FIRE of last
night was worse and did more damage
than that Of Bados,. Charleston, Frye,
Port Hope and Huron City. They
ire all burned. Twelve dead bodies were
into Port Hope. At least 100
lives have been lost In the country. r. J.
Meade and his whole family, living four
miles northwest Of sandbeath, were burned. |
