DETAILS OF TBB PROPOSED REMOVAL.
Executive MANSION, IL i. H.-Beyond
what bss been stated in the official bulletins
during the day there is nothing to be said
regarding the Presidents general condi-
ton. IL is conceded by all attending sur
oeons that there has been slight improve
ment. AZ compared with yesterday. As
shown by evening bulletin the wound
remains unchanged. 1t is thought that
the wound can't improve materially,
however, until the glandular trouble has
entirely subsidized. The swelling OF the pa
rotid gland gradually and satisfactorily de-
creased. The general opinion among sur
geons appears TO be that change OF AR
will prove beneficial TO this complication as
veil as the other difficulties from which The
patient is suffering. The all-absorbing
ionic tonight IS OF the contemplated re-
msYA OF the President from the White
House. LAST evening, after a consultation
with the attending physicians, Attorney
General MacYeagh teIegraphed President
Roberts and Vice-Presdent COrsatt, Of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, advising them that
It was very probable it would be decided in
the morning 10 remove the President TO
Long Branch very early next week, and
requesting them to consider The best method
OF dong 50, and TO arrange Tor 1t as In their
Judgment was best. II was added that the
removal was desired upon the bed on which
the President is now lying. These gentle
men answered that they would have ear
specially arranged for the Presidents
convenient carriage. and would be able 10
place il with two other cars and an engine
NJ The disposal Of the Presidents pbysi-
ciaus-pr0bably as early as Monday morn
ing-snd that all the proper precautions
would BE taken TO diminish fatigue and
other annoysnces OF the journey whenever
il was undertaken. Among other things,
President Roberts said: You can assure
the President we will have the best aud
most suitable car we can arrange, which
will be a combination car. We have put
men at work 10 sitter and fix II up. Wewill
also send our best special car and baggage
ear for the service Of those whom be may
desire to have with him. This train VIII
be al bis service on notice"
In conversation on the subject OF the
Presidents removal, AtiOrney-General
MacVeagh said tonight that it was al first
thought il would be advisable TO have
temporary railroad track run from the main
line Of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad so rs 10
connect with the White House, but after
fully considering the matter II Was deemed
impracticAble TO convey the President over
a newly.aid track, and IL was there
fore fioally resolved to procure a large
and rOOmy wagon or "carryall" which
will accommodate the Presidents bed,
and in such conveyance the present IN
tention is 10 transfer the patient from the
Executive Mansion 10 the car prepared for
him. The bed will be carried down stairs
10 the south front Of the house, and there
plsced ia the wagon and driven slowly and
carefully TO the Sixth street deIot, where
the Wsgon will be driven alongside the car,
Inio which the patient will be lilled without
being removed from his bed. Attorney
General and Mrs. MacYeagh expect TO
leave Washington about tweuty-i0ur hours
in advance OF the President TO ar
range the details for bis reception.
Upon arriving at Long Branch the patient
will be removed from the car and driven to
one OF the cottages adjoining the Elberon
Hotel. The special train will be strictly put
10 the use Of the President. Mrs. Garfield
and her daughter Molie, the physicians, and
immediate attendants. Up 10 this time no
proyision has been made for representatives
OF the press. Attorney-General MaeNeaeh
said tonight that the train would not stop
at any stations.
10 subsequent dispatch 70 Attorney
General MacVeagh, President Roberts States
that one OF the cars furnished for the
special train will be his own special ear,
which will be placed at the disposal OF Mrs.
Garfield. He also SAYS that in order to
lessen the annoyance from smoke and ein-
ders the cars will be puzzled ia front OF the
engine, and nothing but anthracite coal will
be used by the locomotive; that every pre-
caution will be taken 10 avoid trains
passing the special train. All trains coming
from opposite directions will be stopped
