LOON LAKE HOUSE, n. Y, Sept. 49,
The president and the members of his
household are more encouraged than
ever today over the the favorable re-
ports made to them by Dr. Gardiner in
regard to the condition of Mrs. Harri-
son. That gentle made the follow
ing statement of the case to a represent
atlVe OF the Associated Press, in the
presence of Mrs. Russell Harrison and
Col. and MRS. Parke, while they, with
others, were enjoying sun bath on the
beautiful lawn in front of the Loon Lake
house this afternoon:
MRS. Harrison is improving very rap
Idly. Since the last formations there
mas been no reproduction of fluid in the
cavity OF the pleura, and. so far as this
eftusion is concerned, Mrs. Harrison
may be considered out of danger. OF
course cannot say positively that the
fluld will not form again, but l do not
think it will. see no necessltv for
another operation, and there will be
none unless there is an unlooked-for
accumulation. Mrs. Harrison is now
able to sit up III bed, with her back
propptd up with pillows, and she has
rested quietly in that position nearly all
DAY. She is now taking as much nour-
lshment as she did before the appear-
ance of the recent complication, and is
gaining steadily in strength. That Is
ABOUT all L care to say about the case at
present"

Whlle the members of the family as
sert that no plans have been made for
the future, it IS learned on undisputed
authority that arrangements are being
maze Tor the early removal of Mrs.
HARRISON TO Washington, and that
start Will be made as early as Tuesday
morning next, providing the present
favorable condition continues. Mrs.
Harrison appeals every day to those
present to take her to Washington as
tne pest possible way of bringing about
her restoration to health. and her pbvsi-
clan has finally consented to her re-
moval, provided her present rate of
Improvement continues a few days
longer. 1t is the opinion of the
family that the fatigue of the long
Journey VIII be more than balanced by
the contentment and peace of mind
which the invalid will feel at the fmI.
tlllment of the desire now engrossing
almost her entire attention. 1t is safe
to predict that the journey will not be
attempted unless all concerned are fully
satished that it can be successfully ac-
complished. The details of the nro.
posed trip are purposely suppressed.
