About the Lung Trouble.

Long Branch, 12.-Agnew says
this evenings bulletin was favor
able one, and he could not say more
than was contained in it if he should
talk an hour. Mr.. BOynten adheres
to the opinion that the lung compli-
cation is the result OF blood poison
ing. Yet he contends that the Pres
idents vitality is sufficiently strong
to overcome any serious results
from it, providing no further COM
pllcatiOns of a similar character
occur. Swain and Rockwell are en-
cOuraged by favorable indications,
and say the day has undoubtedly
been a good one. Rockwell refers
to President Garfield as an ex-
tremely intelligent patient, and says
he placed more confidence in his
action when comparing his con-
ditiOn from day to day, than on the
opinions of others. The President
is a man not afraid of death, and
has no more idea of dying than
any of us who are enjoying good
health. He considered furthermore
that if the President should be near
deaths door. and in full possession
of his faculties, that his great intel
ligence would enable him to COM
prehend the fact, and he would not
hesitate to give due notice to those
around him.
Hamilton arrived tonight. and
Agnew will leave in the morning.
At 1890 tonight the President
was sleeping, and in the opinion of
Hamilton and Agnew, there was
every prospect for favorable
night. There has been no febrile
rise. The temperature and respira-
ton are normal. The pulse has not
been taken during the day. He has
taken nouriShment freely. There
has been no further annoyance from
the stomach. When Hunt called on
the President to-day, he informed
him there was no business i'm his
department requiring the PreSi-
dents attention. 1t has been the
custom of the President to refer to
the secretary in nautical terms, and
after shaking the hand of the Presi-
dent to-day, the secretary, pointing
towards the ocean. remarked:
"Well, Mr.. President, see you have
had to retreat to my domain"
Eyes, said the President, "there
it is, and isn't it beauli-
full, too" The President, to-day,
expressed a wish that he would
soon be able to sit in rocking chair
and look out on the ocean. The day,
as whole, is said 10 have been a !
favorable one. The parotid trouble
has practically disappeared. The
wound is in excellent condition. The
President expresses himself as feel
ing better, and no further develop
mentS have occurred in the vicinity !
of the right lung, the latest compli- |
cation. Notwithstanding the favor
able day the Suppuration difficulties |
which the inflammation of the lung
might occasion, while under control, |
remain serious obstacle and will /
necessarily cause grave apprehen- /
sion for several days to come. This |
is acknowledged by AgnGw and |
Hamilton.
New York, 12.-Trj6une'S Long
brdncn: "A railing on top OF the |
portics outside of the Presidents |
window was removed to-day to give
him an unobstructed view of the
ocean. The sentinel pacing his beat
on the edge of the bluff, gazed ear
nestly up toward the sick room Win
dow as he passed, and was hOnored
by military salute from the hand
Of the President.
