lure IN consequence of his removal
from bed and back again. The
PRESIDENT e jOyed the change. He
was placed in a position command
ing Il fuH view Of the ocean, and
elevated to an angle of about forty
live degrees. He was removed to
his bed at is own request. not be-
cause he was tired, but because he
considered it best not to overdo tle
matter. The febrile rise was
scarcely perceptible last night. and
what little there was continued nm
til the morning dressing, which az
counts for the temperature noted in
the morning bulletin. Bliss still
maintains that the President is con-
valescent, and that there are no in
dicatiOns of blood-poisoning. He
holds that the lung complication is
gradually passing away and does
not apprehend any further trouble
from 1t. He says the existence of
trouble in that organ has been
known by the surgeons for several
weeks past and the crisis came en-
Sunday, which day he virtually lost
by not making any gain. Since
then, however, he has improved.
1p.m.-At the examination a few
minutes ago, the Presidents pulse
was 100, temperature 9S.8, respira-
ton 20. All admit that he is doing
well.
TO LOWELL.
Elberon, 13.-There has been no
material change in the Presidents
condition during the last twenty
four hours. He was moved at his
own request this afternoon from Il
bed to an extension chair, on which
he rem aimed half an hour. He has
been less inclined to drOWsiness dur
ing the day than usual. The weather
is now very favorable, and the ply
sicians think they discover signs of
slight improvement i'll the symp-
toms. They expect him to pass a
very comfortable night.

ton Of the President at y M, to

Long Branch, 13.-The weather
to-day has been charming. The air
perfectly pure and bracing. Just
such weather IS the Presidents at
tendant's have been looking for.
The patient to-day made good pro-
gresS toward recovery. Reports
from the sick room throughout the
entire day have been of the most re-
assuring character, and the fact that
the surgeons and attendants are all
IN the best Of spirits tends to con-
firm the idea that recuperation again
fairl" commenced. Nothing unfaY-
Orable can be said to-day. The bulle-
tins tell the whole story. 4 short
time before noon there was suite
scene at ElberOn. Messengers from
the cottage in which the President
was quartered were dispatched for
the surgeons and attendants. Of
course, instructions We're given to |
make haste, as it was the Presidents |
desire they come Immediately. The |
order was faithfully compiled with,
and every one who witnessed the |
running became excited |
and feared the President had be-
come suddenly worse. The suS-
penSe for few moments was great.
The surgeons and Colonies Swain
and Rockwell Immediately an
SWered the summons. After |
a few minutes DR.. Hamilton !
returned from the cottage with the
remark: Gentlemen, you need not |
be alarmed. The President wished |
to be placed in his reclining chair,
ard we have just moved him" The !
chair, however, is about as reclining |
as his bed, and it cannot properly be |
called sitting up. The chair was
placed in a commanding view of the !
ocean and the President enjoyed the
change very much. He expressed
his admiration of the beauties
Of the ocean. while Mrs. T
Garfield sat NEAR him and
Bliss remained in the next room.
After remaining in the chair about
half an hour, he asked to be put
back to bed. Bliss went into his
room and asked him if he was
weary. No, not at ALL he said,
but | do not think it will do to
1verdo the matter" The attendants
we're summoned and the President
replaced in bed. The moving did
lot cause any acceleratiOn of the
oulse, beyond a beat or so, and the
remained the same as
before he was disturbed. The
President greatly enjoys the scene
md frequently refers to the great
rood the salt air is doing him.
Some comment was caused this
morning by the publication of what
TO be a protest by Colonies
swain and Rockwell against the
paragraph in Attorney
General MacVeagh's cable dispatch
% Minister Lowell, last night AS
matter of fact, it was written in
he presence of Colonies Swain and
Rockwell, and thew asSented TO the
