A CHANGE OF AIR.
That's ' What the President Will
Get ,
All of the Physicians Concede
it to Bo a Necessity.
Washington's September Ma
laria to bo Dodged by a
Long Branch Trip.
A Couitniit. Improvement In the
President's Condition.
Nntionnl Ai oeiitod Prc" .
WASIUVOTON , September 2. The
president's eiso ; progressed dnriii } ; the
night to the gum-rat siitPsfn'Stioii of
iho physicians nml nursca this inoin-
ing. His condition is iu full accord
with the progiuaa for the last fo\v
ihiys. Tlio recent improvcinunt is 110-
ticoablo in the comfortnhlu nmnnur iu
whioh the p.ilicnts tests. JIo sleeps
the greater part of the night as a well
man.
JJeforo midnight the dressings wcro
removed from the gland and the ac
cumulated pus pressed out. This
saved any annoyance that might Imvo
followed uudno secretion. The gland
at the _ morning dressing was found to
bo doing well. There was ft good dis
charge of the pus , nnd it was ob-
surved thn * . its character waa excel
lent. The utis that finds its wnj into
the mouth is very trifling in amount
and has caused the president no
trouble.
The wound shows a little nioro im
provement this morning in every re
spect. The president seems to have
held his own , and that signifies gener
al improvement of the system. Dr.
Agnowis expected this evening and
the plan for moving the president will
bo determined at once. A raihoiid
trip to Long Branch now sooina most
likely. The time for beginning the
trip will depend upon the improve
ment of the next four days.
Gen. Swaim at lOiUO tins morning
said that the president is doing nicely.
Ho continues to improve and nothing
unfavorable has come up. The stom-
uch is all right. For breakfast ho
ehuwcd a little steak again , swallow
ing the juice. Ho also ate chicken
broth. The state of the coso is entirely
tiroly satisfactory. There Ifas been
no febnlo rise. Other advises from
the sick room indicate continued im
provement. Several cabinet odidfcrs
called during the morning and went
away satisfied
TluiH far Long Branch seems to bo
the favorite among the places consid
ered for the Garliuld removal. The
president and Mrs. Garlield hayo given
it their preferunco in the part ovec
other seaside resorts. The question
of how the removal shall bo made will
not bo decided upon before to-morrow ,
when all the surgeons 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 symptons 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
provement since yesterday.
Dr. Hoybnrn says that ho is doing
well , but ho would gain strength
faster somewhere outside of Washing
ton , nnd tliinkn the president will bo
moved inside of live days. He said
that it has become now almost iiu-
porativo that ho should bu removed at
nn early date. This air hero is bad
for him. I nnderstanu 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
a necessary that at an early day ho
shall have a change of air , and j
think the danger would bo greater
to allow him to remain hero than in
moving him.
With a change of air the improve
ment in four or five days would bo
very noticeable to his benefit. In
that time , with removal without acci
dent and undue disturbance , ho would
bo much bettor and improve. I agree
that the air hero is very bad for him.
The president's stomach is doing
nicely. Ho has chewed more steak
to-day , has had chicken broth and en
joyed it all , The president is as
cheerful and patient a1) could be ex
pected.
Hoynton says that the president is
fully as well as at any time since the
relapao , but there had been no great
; ain of strength ,
The piesident had about all done
for him that was possible in this cli
mate nnd the hooner he was moved
the better for him. The gland is do
ing very well and the swelling had
nearly all fiubaidcd. The doctor Bays
that the general opinions is that the
healing of the wound began at the
ball and that the cannil was healed tea
a point reached by the catheter used
in cleaning for pus collecting beyond
that point. If the ball should be
moving about it would necessarily
cause the formation of pus. He had
known balls to move from place to
place without causing inflammation ,
In regard to moving the president ho
Favors his removal by rail rather than
by water ,
He talked with the president about
it to-day and asked him if ho thought
Iho passing of n tram on another
track would demoralize him , The
president eaid ho was sure it would
not.
not.In
In regard to the opening irom the
land into the mouth Dr. lioynton
mid that the cleansing water did not
find its way into the mouth to-day.
The reopening was a very small ono
and thoupht to bo through the cellu-
lyn tissue and not through the duct.
Mr. 0. O. ttockwolf , who now
spends much of each day in the sick
room , said to-night that the greatest
change ho noticed in the president
since his former visit was his improved
nerves. He had no fear that removal
from the White House would disturb
his nerves particularly. Ho says that
a water trip does not seem to bo na
favoiably considered as that proposed
by rail. The president talks freely on
the subject and seems anxious for n
change. Mr. Rockwell thinks the re
moval of the president from Wash
ington would do him a world of good.
General Swaim said to-night that
the president talked very philosophi
cally about the removal. Ho thinks
he should like to go away and thinks
it would do him good , but docs nut
want to KO till the doctors think il
best. Ho has no fear that it would
injure him to move. The doctors will
take no risk in the matter , and will
let him stny where ho ia until it will
bo petfectly safe to make the change.
General Swaim thinks , the ivnuival
would be possible within a wcok'ur tim
daj a.
There is no special object in it other
than to accomplish the advantage of
nil convalescents being placed amid
new scenes. It is nut on account of
nny existing malaiia trouble. That
subject ia being discussed of course.
September ia n bad month in Wash
ington nnd if hard rains should come
the president might bo clfcctcd. Long
Branch air would probably bo good for
him Any change might bo beneficial.
The only objection to Long * . Branch
is the possibility of severe coast
storms. Nothing has bccnvlccidcd.
The president will bo ready'for con
siderable moving in a week if im
provement continues. He shows
gain in voice and appetite , has eaten
twenty-seven ounces of liquid food to
day , porridge and soup fiom the din
ner tnblo. 'Ho has chewed beefsteak
nnd also had ft ttllo squirrel soup.
General SYrafnf'Baid the president's
face looked very natural now. The
glandular swelling scorned almost
gone , nnd no further trouble was ex
pected from that source.
Later to-night , Dr. lloylnmi , in
speaking of the slow granulation of
the wound , said that where two sup
purating surfaces existed in a patient
at ono time , that the nearest to the
trunk arteries would heal fust.
Hence the turn of the old wound
would come after the gland was
cured.
AllTHUU TO I1U CALL r. I ) t'l'OK.
NKW YOIIK , September 2. Special
dispatches from Washington say that
the cabinet has had no word of con
sultation as to the policy to bo pur
sued ill the matter of the presinont's
inability , but the subject has been
freely and frequently talked of. Win-
don ! says that the president can-got
along at present without executive in
terference , but some of the other de
partments are embarrassed in many
things. Ho would himself prefer to
confer with the president before act
ing. Of Arthur , ho says , that there
is no danger of anything the vice president -
idont would do. His only nim would
bo to do as nearly as possible what
President Garliold would do .wpro.lro
able to give matters of business his'
personal attention.
There is reason to believe that as
soon as the president is able to bo
moved , ono of the physicians , prob
ably Dr. Bliss , will bo requested to
broach the subject. Ho will say to
the president that the doctors hnvo
decided that ho should bo allowed two
or three months' uninterrupted con
valescence , during which time his
mind should bo relieved of all cares ;
that this time will at least clapso before -
fore he can safely assume the duties
of his ollico , mid that in the mean
time it has been suirufsted that the
vice-president bo asked to assume the
responsibility of the executive oflico.
It ia believed that thereupon the
president will sign the paper nn-
nouncing to the people nnd commend
ing the nation to the vice-president ,
who will act until such time aa ho may
bo able to resume his duties at the
head of allaira.

OnicAiio , September i ! . Dispatches
from tlto southern part of the state
nil iu roe that a drought so long con
tinued anil with sucn iliro conseqiUMi-
coa us attends the present one has
novur betoro boon known ill lliu state.
Postures are drying up , wells and
cislorna hiivo gone dry nnd ponds nnd
clocks nvo being drawn upon not only
for stock , bnt for family use.
The farmers throughout Egypt arc
gronlly discouraged as they sue \\hc.it
sowing titno approaching , nnd the ma
jority of thorn without a furrow turned
for the crop. It is stated by sonic
farmers that the fall sowing will nut
bo much more than one-tenth of the
usual average. When the harvest
was over it was too dry nnd hard to
commence plowing for wheat. They
have been waiting over since for rain
and they are waiMng still.
The scarcity of fend incident to
this drought ia beginning to bo n ser
ious question with fanners who own
much or even little stock. It will bo
almost impossible for the fall pastur
age to a fibril any relief us without
steady nnd copious rains there will bo
no grass and it is unlikely that there
will bo rain.
The pried of all kinds of foc.d Ins
advanced ao materially that farmers
cannot but it. The stock , therefore ,
must perish unless events take a very
auddeii turn. Very man } ' small
farmers in southern Illinois will sillier
during the coming winter for the bare
necessities of life.
Cnit'AOO , September 2.--Tho Illi
nois Central railroad received dis
patches to-day announcing a long
needed fall of rain along its line. A
heavy rain prevailed in Central Iowa
and refreshing showers occurred
around Springfield and Clinton. The
corn will bo benolittcd somewhat.
CINCINNATI , September 2. The
light local rains which have visited
many parts of the west and louth the
last two days was too Into for most of
the crops but have done good in fur
nishing water for the stock and re
plenishing the dried up streams.

The long drought , which throatnnod
to dry lint lie water courses completely
nnd wholly destroy the crops of farm
ers , has apparently been ended to
day. Last night n largo pnrt of east
ern Ohio and western Pennsylvania
vras visited by refreshing showers ,
nnd to-day the telegrams reports
steady rains in some districts which
Imvo Bullbred most severely. It is
thought that the rain will encl the
forest fires , which have occasioned
much loss in the timber regions ,

Nr.w YOIIK , September 2. Local
promises of rain to-day have been dis
appointment nnd no nun has fallen
except in drops , lloports from all
flections indicate continued fair and
warm weather with the thermometer
from four to twelve degrees lower ,
lloports from states bordering on the
lakes show only local rains , mostly
very light. To-morrow's indications
give a promise ot local tains along the
north Atlantic and Now England
coasts. All promise to bo light. The
barometer to-night is high in Now
Jersey , but is regarded as indicating
a storm of wind , which will probably
not bo accompanied by rain of any
value to the crop.
ItociiK8TF.it8oplGmbor 2. A short ,
sharp thunder shower last night gave
8-10 of an inch of rain. The grass
and pastures are burned up , most of
the potatoes are ploughed in and win
ter wheat will bo sown. Fruit is suf
fering greatly and corn is a failure.
Rain will now bo too late to bo use

DKTIIOIT , September 2. The
drought continues. Corn in-only half
a crop. Potatoes are almost baked in
the gionnd. Foiest fires are doing
much damage , but the losses have
been exaggerated. The local
rains of Tuehday night happened
particiilatly at exactly the
right time and was the heaviest.

joying fine rains ufltT a drouth
throughout the gieaterpaitof the ter
ritory named of two months. Corn
and other crops were seriously dam
aged by the lack of rain and grazing
lands parched. The rains of the pres
ent week , however , will prove of
ureat benefit to pastures and make fine
late grazing. The corn crop is likely
to yield better in Kansas than was an
ticipated a few days ago. There will
bo over half a crop , The yield is
estimated at 100,000,000 bushola.
