NntlonM Associated 1'rew. LONU BiiANCii , September 7. The morning bulletin was received ns ai : encouraging token of the president' ; remaining vitality. Facilities for tele graphic communication are excellent and fully adequate. The listlesaness of the Branch seems already to have nfi'ected those who are nc.irest to ht president. It was long after daylight before there was ally sign of lifo out side the president's cottage. The first word was brought by General Swaim , who came over to Elberon as soon as ho had arisen. Ho said the president had had an excellent night. "How did you sleep , General Swaim ? " asked the questioner. "Bettor than for six weeks,1 replied he , "and so did the president , ' continued the General. Further inquir- elicited the informa tion that the president's fever was all jjono by midnight. Before that hour liohad some sleep , and after was nwako long enough only to take nourishment. Between the naps ho swallowed porridge twice and was given ono onemata. Ho had his sponge bath and fell asleep without difficulty. After each operation General Swaim said that his sleep was of the right ' sort and added it would take a sicker man than ho is to keep from enjoying a good sleep in that room. There was an excellent atmosphere and the nicest kind of a breeze to st.irt in on. It leaked out before the bulletin i ' was issued that the temperature and respiration were normal and the pulse : lOli. There was no clamoring for news ( about the hotel , but when , at 0:00 : a. in. , it was posted it was rev - v cei'vcfl ' with the heartiest congratula tions.

The excessive heat has some ollcct on him , but , his gen eral condition shows improvement over yesterday. TIII : urrjiovEME.VT continues to-day. General McYeagh will probably order the special train away temporarily. All the members of the cabinet are in good spirits this morning. LOKO BIIAXOH , September 7 Elbe- ron 2 p. m. The president was still doing well rt 2 o'clock. His pulse when last taken was 101 , temperature nnd respiration normal. His general condition is looked upon by all his at tendants as entirely satisfactory , ELDKHON , 2:30 : p. m The presi dent continues favorable. Dr. Agnew now has loft for Philadelphia , whence ho can bo summoned in' three hours. , A IIOT HAY. The president's first full day at Long Branch has been marked by extreme - tremo heat und yet ho has certainly made some improvement , The heat has boon intense and until late in the afternoon there was nothing but the hottest kind of a land brcczo blow- in" . "When it shifted to the eastward there was not much ot it , and yet ho was patience itself und welcomed the change. There has boon Httlo mov ing about hero to-day. Mrs. Uarfiold , Mrs. Ilockwoll and the young ladies have their meals sent into the cottage , but the other members of the family took their meals at the Elberon ho tel. The cabinet ollicors are in the west end cottages , and a largo Hag marks each of the cottages occupied by the presidential party. 'Ihrco iSjhowovor , little else to indi cate , through external appearances at Elberon , that the president is there. The guard of soldiers is still main tained , their touts being pitched in a vacant lot beyond Lincoln uvonuo. Pickets are stationed only about Franklin cottage , and no ono is per mitted to outer excepting these hav ing certificates from Private Secre tary Brown that they are of the pres idential party. A HOIWUI. FEKLING. A very hopeful fooling prevails. Last night it was feared that it would bo several days before the president could recover from the cfi'ects of his journey , while BOIIIO began to think it was by no means certain that ho over would , but , as the prundont has so often said , u is always something unexpected which happens to him. Once quiet , however , ho seems to have begun the process of recupera tion. Before midnight an occasion was oll'erod for an examination , which ohowed that the fever had entirely disappeared and the pulse was much lower. From that hour hi.H sleep was much bolter. Ho slept longer at a time and with greater comfort. At the usua intervals ho was given liquid nourish' ishmont and occasionally nutritive enema. When ho look his carlj sponge bath his condition \\rva found to be fully as good as before ho lofl Washington and the morning dress ing showed that ho'had ' pretty well recovered - covered from the fatigue of ycstor day's journey. During the day In Bcemcd cheerful and at least imagined that ho felt better in the Long Brand : air. Ho certainly held good the guii : Hf last evening. No solid food has yet been given him here. The doctors have watched him closely , and while they hardly expect any marked improvement fet several days , they hnvo been thorough ly surprised by the recuperation of last night , and are very well satisfied with thu irosp6cls. fsccrcliiry Kirk- wood wilt return to 'Washington to night. Most of the cabinet olliccrs have accepted an invitation to so rid ing this evening. Mrs. Garllcld has had several carriages and hoisos at her disposal , but as yet prefer * to spend nil her time noni" her husband. Secretary Blaine says to-day that the last of the cabinet will remain hero until there is no room for anxiety con cerning the president's condition. TllR CAHINKT UEMAIN. Mrs. Blaine will remain. The sec retary considers the president's condi tion to-day very favorable and feel encouraged. We will send nightly messages to Minister Lowell between 10 and 11 o'clock. Secretary Window thinks there will still bo ups and downs in the president's case hero the same as there were at Washington , at least for a time , until the president becomes permanently affected by the change ot air. Secretary Hunt and Secretary Kirkwood nro also feeling much encouraged by the bulletins of the day. Attorney-General Me- Vcagh says : "Tho president has not been here long enough for any favor able change to bo expected , but if within a week ho begins to show n marked change wo will feel almost confident of his recovery. Postmaster-General James is still suffering from hay fever. He s.iysho can not bo cured until ho gets to the mountains , and ho shall not cro until the president gets on a fair footing. That , however , ho expects to be in a few days. BOYXTOJf TALKS. Dr. Boynton to-day was questioned as follows by the agent of the National Associated Press : "How is the patient now , doctor ? " "Much better than last night. " "Has he made a good start hero yet ? " : - - ? * , "I c5.1i ! hardly say that ho has , but ho is doing very nicely , V-Wo ? cannot tell much about it until after 40 to CO hours. " . " ' t " * , J'Does lie seem lo appreciate the ih'angoT' . . ' . * " v , Obxyos. vlib-'Baw Warren 'Young think ho. looked jjotter. Of course he'said yes , and" tho' president con tinued : "I certainly feel better. " How is the gland doing , doctor ? Getting along well and the wount I think better too. Then the whole trouble is his weak ness ? That's just it ; but the recuperation of last night speaks well. It certain ly shows that there is a good deal oi Garfield there yet. "Then him better you expect to got ter ? " "I think he is doing as well as wo could expect , perhaps better , and ] hope to see a marked improvement in a few days. " General Swaim said this afternoon that the president had certainly held all ho gained last night , and to him seemed to bo bettor than in the morn ing. "Just wait till this land breeze , 'ives way to an ocean brceno , " said Swuim , "when ho gels a sniff of good salt air. " Under the circumstances the even ing bulletin was not an unfavorable ono and on the whole gave general satis faction. After the evening bulletin md been issued the opinions of several of the physicians wore obtained and all scorned unanimous that the day had been fully as satisfactory as could bo expected. Dr. Hamilton states to-night that ; ho exceeding hot weather has been unfavorable to the president's pro- ; ross and comfort too. He says that ; hc evening bulletin is the most concise - ciso statement of the president's situa- ; ion that can bo made , but ho is wili ng to add that the case lias an ex ceedingly favorably outlook. Dr. Bliss says that the president is gaining in more ways than ono. Ho Iocs not pretend to say there has jcon any marked change. Ho ox- > ucts none for several days , perhaps , mt he sees full indication of better hues coming. The wound and gland ire both doing well , and there is no evidence of anything wrong in other respects except the extreme weakness of the patient. "Tins hot weather , " saysDr. Bliss , s no better for him than for you and no. If we come to get a good sea > rcczo to-morrow it will probably niako some difference. " Ho flas , too , : lwt ho is perfectly satisfied with the case to-night ; that ho sees nothing discouraging in the symptoms , and ; hat the president is not uncomfort able. able.Dr. Dr. Woodward commits himself no urther in the way of op'nion , that to ay that the president would proba- > ly do better with cooler weather , and hat ho is not dissatisfied with the mwcss m.ido to-day. Dr. Barnes ays that oven with the disadvantage if this weather the president is > cttor oh" hero than in Washington , and ho hopes ho will eventually bo nuch better. At a late hour this evening the gent of the National Associated VCSH had an interview with Dr. Royburn , substantially as follown : "Has the president gained any ground to-day , doctor ? " "Not a great deal.- " . ' "Has ho held his own ? " "I think ho lias. Ever since ho has had n ditforont air , from the wa ; out , 1 think you can see n change. " "Has ho fully recovered from th fatigue of yesterday ? " "From the first effects ho has , nnc I think from the whole , t see no reason to think ho was injured by the journey. To-night's foyer is , then not from faligue. I think that the usual febrile rise and great heat nc count for it. " "Did the president suffer from the lu-at1 ? "He did not exactly suffer. Ho no ticcd how hot it was and spoke of it but kept looking out on the ocean a : if patient to wait for cooler brecucs.1 "Ho rallied from latt night's pros ( ration butler than you feared , did ho not ? " "Quicker , perhaps , but not bettor I hope. That shows considerable vi tal force yet in si ore , and ifu cai have nice , cool weather now I tliinl lie will uomo out all right. " In further conversation Dr. l oy burn Ftiid thub the stay at _ Loiif , Branch depended on thu condition n the case. The president was anxious to go to Mentor and would probablj bo taken thei o as soon as ho wiw able Ho would hardly bo able enough to go on such a journey within two or three weeks , oven if ho should improve rap idly. It was best to make no plan for any such case as the tutuic couli not but bo obscure even though in dications were good for plain sailing There is a beautiful moonlight to night , which called out a great miinj people about the Uranch. The presi dent's cottage was inspected by him dreds. Ono of the White House ushers has come on to guard further Mrs Oarlield's privacy. Still another io expected to bo added to the house hold hero. THI : THUTII OF THI : MATTUU. The following dispatch was sent by Secretary Blaine at 11 p. m. , to Min ister Lowell , London : The president has not gained in the last twenty-four hours. His fever in crossed considerably dining the after noon , his temperature reaching 101 Ilo takes food without nausea , bu without appetite , and hau nut im proved in strength.

RETIREMENT OF SURGEONS "Woodward ; Roylmrn and Barnes Retire from President's Caso- At a hito hour to-night the agent o the National Associated Press re ceived definite information that the rumors about the retirement of three of th6 physicians from the president's case werciabout to , bo confirmed.

Ono of them is to bo with Dr. Bliss all the time. Intimations of such an occur rence have been given from time to time , but it was not until to-night that the fact was in any way estab lished. Dr. Bliss stated that the change was made in deference to the wish of the president and not on account of any difference between the physicians in the case. Ife did not think the president had any particu lar reason for dsiring such a change beyond a wish to have fewer attend ants and more quiet. "Sickmon's wishes , " said Dr. Bliss , "aro not al ways easily explained. " Further inquiry to-night shows the facts to bo about as follows : On Saturday last the event of the project of the journey was being definitely considered. The president said to Mrs. Garfield : "What is the HBO uf all the physiciins going to Long Branch ? " The remark so impressed Mrs. Gar field that she mentioned it to one of the physicians , and they talked it over together. Meanwhile the pres ident had said that ho thought Dr. Bliss will bo enough to take care of him , with Dr Agnew and Dr. Hamilton , to consult with him. Under the cir cumstances it was particularly refer red to Dr. Agnew for his advice. Ho , in turn , thought that the physicians the president proposed to eliminate ought to bo the ones to speak. Dr. Woodward , it seems , was anxious to retire and both Drs. Keyourn and Sumccm General Barnes had business in Washington which they could ill afford to neglect. Sp the arrange ment nbovo referred to was made. ornoiAi. JJULLETIX LeNa BnXxcji , Sept. 7.
