EXECUTIVE MANSION, l p. m.-Dr. Bliss
said, at noon to-day, that the President was
getting along nicely, that there was nothing
to complain about in his case, and that he
| would be moved from Washington as soon
as possible. The attending surgeons will
visit the combination car which is to con-
vey the President to Long Branch some
time during the afternoon. Exactly when
the President will be moved cannot yet be
stated, as it has not yet been definitely de-
termined, but the removal will be made at
the earliest possible moment. A sug-
gestion to the effect that it would be
preferable to make the rem oval at night
has been considered to some extent, but
without resulting in any conclusion. In fact
from what can be learned up to tlis hour, it
Is still uncertain when the removal will take
place. 1t is quite probable, however, that
after the attending surgeons have made
/ their examination of the patients condition
they will be able to decide upon the time.
| The general impression Of those about the
| Mansion is that due notice will be
given, and that it is not the Intention
| to remove the President secretly The OILY
desire of the attending surgeons is that no
| noise or hustle shall be permitted along the
route. The removal will be made either
early in the morning or after sundown in
the evening. Railroad tracks are being run
from the Baltimore and Potomac depot, at
! Sixth street, to the edge of the asphalt pave
ment on Pennsylvania avenue in order that
the President can be run out on the street
to facilitate the moving of the patient from
| the vehicle which carries him from the
| White House. Private Secretary Brown
says it is the intention to send several official
| communications to the Executive Mansion
each day for the benefit of those who may
call to ascertain the patients condition.
| Beyond this no details have yet been ar
ranged with regard to the manner of issuing
/ bulletins but it is thought that the same
| plan which has been pursued here will be
continued.
| EXECUTIVE MANSION, Sept 5, 4 p. NJ
It has been decided to move the President
from the White House, and to convey him
to Long Branch by special train tomorrow
