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. Attorney-Gener.il McYeagb ,
who feared las ? night that the journey

The president is reported to bo

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 " * ,

ih'angoT' . . ' . * " v ,

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

not ? "
"Quicker , perhaps , but not bettor

RETIREMENT OF SURGEONS
"Woodward ; Roylmrn and Barnes

At a hito hour to-night the agent o
the National Associated Press re

or the last time , and to-morrow the
early bulletin will contain the official
announcement of the fact that here
after Dr. Bliss will have full contro !
of the case with Drs , Agnew anc
Hamilton consulting physicians. 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.
