The Presidents Wound-A Thunder.
storm Desirable.
WASHINGTON, September 2d.-The follow.
ing ID furnished by one of the physicians in
attendance upon the President The tube
at the evening dressing could not be inserted
quite as far as yesterday, showing that the
track of the ball is closing up from the bot
tom, and is now only little over nine inches
deep. The size of the wound is also con-
tracing all along its course, and is very SEN
sitive to the touch. The opening into the
mouth is just above the angle of the jaw, and
gives no trouble. The fact that pus has
burrowed through has no bearing on the case,
ard will not delay recovery in any respect
What would now do the President more good
than anything else is thunderstorm. The
air is remarkably lacking in stimulating prop
critics. and the President feels it sorely. We
are wishing for shower.
The London Lancet" and the Wounded
President.
LONDON, September 2d-The Lancet says
We do not think the healing of President
Garfeld's wound will be promoted by the
probings to learn how far the granulation has
proceeded. The most favorable signs are the
fall of temperature to normal and the fire.
quency of the pulse. This is a thoroughly
safe criterion. The increased strength and
the subsistence of blood poisoning stand to-
gether with the improved power of digestion.
The ability to sleep soundly, mental sound
ness and cheerfulness afford solid grounds
for hope of recovery. The case is striking
illustration of good constitution to hold up
against an illness that would certainly have
killed feeble person. But another failure
IN the Presidents digestive organs, or symp-
toms of blood poisoning, might at any time
turn the balance against him, and what we
have hitherto insisted upon SO often we are
bound to repeat, that President Garfield will
not be out of danger until his wound is
healed"
The Removal OF the President.
CHICAGO, September 2d.-A Washington
special says: The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has prepared special train to take
the President to Long Branch should it be
decided to remove him by rail. The car de-
signed for the President was built for the
late Colonel Thomas Scott, after his health
began to decline. The springs were specially
constructed for ease. A bed placed upon
delicate springs is also to be put in the car,
and the impression is that when
the time for removal comes it
will be decided to take him by rail. He
will probably be moved at 6 o'clock some
morning, after he has had q good nights
sleep. The train is in Philadelphia, ready to
start on telegraphic notice. Meanwhile the
Tallapoosa would be sent round to Long
Branch, so if the President should improve
he could take short rides at sea when the
weather permitted. The Tallapoosa arrived
this morning from New York. The prepa,a-
tions for the President are excellent. The
ship has been made almost entirely new.
The quarters arranged for the President are
commodious, and located on the upper deck

Hunt, DR.. Bliss, Colonel Rockwell and the
Presidents Private Secretary went to the
navy yard this afternoon to make an examin.
alton of the Tallapoosa, with view to the
possible removal of the President from
Washington in the near future. No decision
in regard to the time or manner of removal
has yet been reached, and Bliss made his
visit to the navy yard this afternoon simply
to see the Tallapoosa, in order that he might
discuss intelligently with the other surgeons
the question of removal by water If all
goes well, as the patients present symptoms
seem to indicate, Roynton thinks the removal
can be safely made within week.
