Long Branch Trip.
A Constant Improvement in the
Proikloiit's Condition.

\VA-WI VCITOX , September 2. Tht
president's cuso progressed dining Iho
night to the gum-mi sntlsfiiZtum o
the physicians and nuracs this inoin
ing. Jlis cniidition is in full nccori
with the progiess for the last fov
duj's. The I'L'cont improvement is no
ticeablo in the comfortable manner ii
which the patients rests. Ho sleeps
the greater part of the night as a wcl
man.
Before midnight the dressings wcro
removed from the gland and the ac
cumulated ptia pressed out. This
saved any annoyance that might have
followed undue secretion. The glum
at the morning dressing was found to
bo doing well. There was a good dis
charge of the pus , and it was ob
served Ilia' its character was excel
lent. The mis that finds its way into
the mouth is very trifling in ainoun
and has caused the president no
trouble.
The wound shows a little moro im
provemcnt this morning in every re
spcct. The president seems to havi
held his own , and that signifies general
al improvement of the system. Dr
Agnowis expected this evening am
the plan for moving the president wil
bo determined at once. A railroai
trip to Long Branch now seems mos
likely. The time for beginning the
trip will depend upon the improve
ment of the next four days.
Gen. Swaini at 10:30 : Una morning
said that the president is doing nicely.
LTo continues to improve and nothing
unfavorable has como up. The stomach
ach is all right. For breakfast ho
chewed a little steik again , swallow
ing the juice , llo also ute chickcr
broth. The state of the cose is en
tirely satisfactory. There lias been
no febrile rise. Other advises from
the sick room indicate continued im
provement. Several cabinet oilidfers
called during the morning and wcnl
away satisfied
Thus far Long Branch seems to bo
the favorite among the places consid
ered for the Garlield removal. The
president and Mrs. Garlield hayo given
it their preforunco in. the pju t-'ovce
other seaside resorts. The questior
of how the removal shall bo made wil !
not bo decided upon before to-morrow ,
when all the Burgeons will bo present.
No reports other than favorable
have been made by the sick room at
tendants. Although the patient docs
not gain in strength , ho still holds his
own. Various syniptons are improv
ing and the physicians feel assured
that a sure foundation is being laid
for rapid recovery before long. The
gland is doing nicely but the wound
is most at a stand-still.
Dr. Bliss says ho can see good im of
provement since yesterday.
Dr. Roybnrn says that ho is doing
well , but ho would gain strength
faster somewhere outside of Washing It
ton , and thinks the president will bo
moved inside of live days. Ho said
that it has become now almost im
perative that he should bo removed at
an early date. This air hero is bad bo
for him. I understand that the Sep
tember air is worse than that of
August in its contents of malaria. The
sooner ho gets away the bettor. It is
necessary that at an early day ho
shall have a change of air , and j
think the danger would bo greater
allow him to remain hero than in
moving him.
With a change of air the improve
ment in four or five days would bo Ho
very noticeable to his bonoiil. In
that time , with removal without acci
dent and undue disturbance , ho would eral
much better and improve. I agree
that the air hero is very bad for him ,
The president's stomach is doing
nicely. lie has chewed moro steak The
o-day , has had chicken broth and en-
ioycd it all. The president is as
cheerful and patient as could bo ox-
icclcd ,
Hoynton says that the president is
'ully as well as at any time since the
relapse , but there had been no great
of strength.
Tlio piesident had about all done
him that was possible in this cli-
mxto and the sooner ho was moved is
better for him. Tlio gland is do- lay
very well and the swelling had also
icarly all bubsidcd. The doctor says
the general opinions is that the
iciilinp of the wound began at the every
and that the cannil was healed to
point reached by the catheter used
cleaning for pus collecting beyond _ ' .
point. If the ball should be
noving about it would necessarily ling
iauso the formation of pus. He had lays
cnown balls to move from place to
Iaco without causing inflammation. , nd
regard to moving the president he The
avers his removal by rail rather than , s

He talked with the president about Phis
to-day and asked him if ho thought
passing of a train on another (
would domorali/o him. The

In regard to the opening Irom the
land into the mouth Dr. Boynton
that the cleansing water did not

way to-day. ory
reopening was a very mnaU one
thoucht to be through the collu- ion
tissue and not through the duct. ling
Mr. 0. 0. llockwoll , who now
pends much of each day in the sick-
, said to-night that the greatest
hango ho noticed in the president A
incohiri former visit was his improved 12

from the While llouso would disturb
liis nerves particularly. Ho says thai
a water trip does not scorn to bo tu
favorably considered as that proposer
by rail. The president talks freely on
the subject and seems anxious for n
change. Mr. llockwoll thinks Iho re
moval of Iho president from Wash
ington would do him a world of good.
"General ( Sivaini said to-night liny
tin president talked very philosophi
cally about the removal. Ilu thinks
ho should like to go away and thinks
it' would do him good , but docs nol
want to KO till the doctors think i

Th only objection to Long. . Bnuicl
is the possibility of sovoru coasi

The president will bo readylfor con

and also had fVliltle squirrel soup.
General < Svra.inf'Baid the president's
face looked very natural now. The
glandular swelling scorned aliuosl
gone , and no further trouble was ox
peeled from that source.
Later to-night , Dr. Royburn , in
speaking of the slow granulation ol
the wound , said that whore two sup
purating surfaces existed in a patienl
lit ono i time , that the nearest to thu
trunk arteries would heal fust.
Ilcncc tlio turn of the old wouiul
would come after the gland was

Gmi'vun , September 'J. Dispatches
from the southern part of the state
all agree that a drought so long con
tinued and with such dire consequen
ces in attends the present one him
never betore been known in the satc. (
Pastures are drying up , wells and
cisterns have gone dry and ponds and
creeks are being drawn upon not only
for slock , but for family use.
The fanners throughout Egypt are
greatly discouraged a they sou wheat
sowing time approaching , and the ma
jority of them without a furrow turned
for thu crop. It is stated by some
farmers that the fall sowing will not
bo much i moro than onu-teiith of Iho
usual average. When Iho harvest
was over it was too dry and hard to
commence plowing for wheat. They
havu been waiting over since for rain
and they are wailing still.
Tlio scarcity of food incident to
this drought is beginning to bo n ser
ious question with farmers who own
much or oven Httlo slock. It will bo
almost impossible for the fall pasturage -
ago lo iillbrd any relief as without
steady : and copious rains theru will bu
no grass i and it is unlikely that theru
will bu rain.
The prieo of all kinds of feed Ins
advanced so materially that farmers
cannot but it. The stock , therefore ,
must ; perish unless events take a vurv
sudden turn. Very man.y small
fanners in southern Illinois will sulfur
during Iho coming winter for the bare
necessities of life.

The long drought , which threatened
to dry up the water courses completely
and wholly destroy the crops of farm
ers , has apparently been ended to
day. Last night a largo part of east
ern Ohio and western Pennsylvania
was visited by refreshing showers ,
and to-day the telegrams reports
steady rains in some districts which
liavo Butfurud most severely. It is
thought that the rain will end thu
forest fires , which have occasioned
much loss in the timber regions.
