The Illustrious Inmate of Franok- ] yn Oottago Still Ee- maius Weak. The Invalid Chair is Placed at an Inclination of 40 Dogroea. Boyntou. the Only Pbyaicinn Who Does Mot Look and Talk Cheerfully. Mrs. Garfield the Recipient Condolence and Sympathy , Tlio Tologrnph Reports Stormy and "Woathav nt the Brnnoli- National Auoclntcd Prcea LONO BitANCit , Sept. 15 , 8-10 : n. in. Tlio morning bulletin has not yet boon issued , and there is great feeling of uneasiness. This unuiisinoss has been intensified by the fact thai both ' Dr. Ag'now nnd Dr. Hamilton went t6 thu president's room n fovr minutes after 8 o'clock nnd remained there until half-past 0 o'clock. It had been understood that Dr. Agncw was to have taken the early train to Phila delphia , and the fact that he had not done so was construed into a verifica tion of the sensational rumor tele graphed late last night that the sur geons had determined to insert a spi- rater this morning into THE PHESIDENT'S mam traa , for the purpose ot draining off from it the pus that was gathered therein. At the morning dressing , at 8:30 o'clock , the president's temperature was 98.4 , his pulse 100 , nnd his respiration 20. Ho passed the night comfortably , sleeping until 3 o'clock this morning when ho was wakeful for a period * of two hours , during which time the I'ULSK HOSE TWKLVE DKGKEKfl , - but without the marked elevation of teinpor.itnro which hns characterised the febrile disturbances before. After this time he slept until morning. Mr > ro nourishment was given dining the night than for several nights past. In reviewing the case of tlio president since his arrival at Long Branch , it may bo said that , in spite of the vari ous sceptic nccidcnto which have for several weeks and does still complicate his cate , ho has certainly not retro graded ; but , on the contrary , he Im'a , - made some progress towards. conva.i-i . .cnucet. . , - * - : ' " " ( Signed ) , BLISS , ANE\V , HAMILTON. GEN. SWAIM came from the president's cottage a 0:30 : o'clock and was asked whac kinc of a night thu president had. "He had n good night , " answered the general ; "as good as Tuesday , certainly , and I think oven better. His condition this morning is very favorable , perceptibly more so than yesterday. Ho slept well and sound ly , iu long stretches , should say his sleep was in periods about two and one-half hours each. Ho was not wakeful nor restless. Ho began to sleep about nine o'clock nnd had refreshing naps up to midnight , when ho had few wakeful spells , dur ing which ho drank water and took nourisltincnt. About ono o'clock hu fell into a deep sleep which lasted un til eight o'clock this morning with but TWO OH TIIUEE JlllEAKH. The report is untrue that an opera tion of spiration is to be , or was to bo performed this morning ; nothing of the kind has been mentioned or ov en though of. There has been operations and no necessity for ono. " "This morning's bulletin is de layed ; has any now complication arisen ? ' "Not at all. The only reason why the bulletin is delayed is that the physicians are holding a long consultation - ! tation for the advisability of making certain statements in the bulletin. " This afternoon ho said to thu at tending surgeon that ho felt better. Ho also said : "I feel hungry ; may I have a couple of reed birds ? " Dr. Bliss will go to New York Ypik this morning and will return this after ; noon. Dr. Agnew will remain until : lie 3omcH back. Dr. Blies said the president had an excellent night nnd that hio condition this morning , in liis opinion , is better than it was yes ] torday morning. All thu indications , iu says , are that thu i LONIJ BiuNU'i , September 15 , Dr. Hamilton , who has persistently re fused while at Elboron to s ly any thing regarding the condition of the resident outside of what was report ed in the bulletins , said in conversa- ; .ion with a friend , n guest at Elbor- n , that the chances of recovery are tow good. There are no active listurbing elements in the case nor ndication of any now complications , although the LATTEH IS POSSIBLE. 5o long as the septic condition of the ' lood ia not thoroughly eliminated , ind while the aoptio condition contin- tea , there will necessarily bo fluctua- ions in pulse , respiration and tem- oraturo. It will probably be a long eriod , perhaps live weeks , bqforo this roublu is entirely removed , and after hat recovery will bo very rapid nnd t is my opinion that Air. Uurficld vill ultimately be as well us before ho o vus shot , ' . ' Dr. Bliss , on his way to ho train to Now York , stated b hat the trip to Now Yoik was on urely PElthOKAL UUHINK&H. The history of the president's con- lition during the day is so well told n the olllcial bulletins that there is ittlu to say in addition. When the president was in the invalid chair the line of inclination was gradually increased until it reached forty do * Hrccs. The increase was mndo cnro- fully and was slowly stopped when the president said : "I think that will do. Thnt is very comfortable. " Ho was cnrnfully observed when rp- placed" in bed , but there was norisoin his pulse , respiration or temperature to indicate thnt ho had suffered from the change. Every any hereafter will bo thus exercised until ho can nit up per fectly. The president's strength is slowly but perceptibly increasing , Ho moves his legs nnd feet n grtmt deal now. The ability and disposition to use his arms and hands grows every day , For nn unendurable period ho has not been nblo to lift to his mouth n glass of wntor , but now ho often raises both arms and lies with them p.isscd over inn head nnd his fingers interlocked. There is noticeable a OUT OF THK nODY particularly at the hips. His voice can be distinctly heard out in the ball ) notwithstanding it somewhat clogged at present by the puruljmt mucous from the bronchial affection , His1 hcarinp and eight are perfect , nnd-lho moVement and nppcixranco of his eyes are normal. His appetite is gpod ; stomach and bowels itf > a HEALTHY CONDITION. In fact ends with the , to-day presi dent's condition' considerably ad vanced toward convalescence. Tlio president 'remained in the chair an hour to-day. . Nourishment to-day comprised milk , meat and fruit , the mqat being chopped fine. During the afternoon Mrs. Garfield read him a number of private loiters at his re quest. 5:30 : P. , M , BULLETIN OFFCIAt. ELUERON , Sept 15. The president iaa passed a quietday , sleeping n lit- tlo. Ho has coughed occasionally" , : he expectoration being less purulent. A greater variety of nourish ment has boon taken without discomfort. Ho was placed upon the invalid's chair and remained forty-five minutes in n position * a iittlo more ele vated than on previous occasions. At noon to-day las temperature WAS 08.0 , julso 102 , respiration 21. At the ivening dressing , 5:30 : p. 'm. , the temperature was 99.2 , pulse 104 , res piration 21. ( Signed ) Buss , .

Louis HANCOCK , Commanding. Dr. Bliss , while in Now York to day , was conducted to the stock exchange - change and created such a stampede among the brokers that ho was glad to escape. Agnew and Bliss , Rock well and Swain , all agreed that the president is perceptibly improving. Dr. Boynton remains the ono person connooic'd with the case still inclined to take A GLOOMY VIEW last thing ho said about the president : was : "I have known cases of phumia much than the ' worse president's : in which there was recovery. I once had a patient who recovered from a case very much worse than his and now have strong hopes that ho will , but at the same time 1 can't forcet that there is not on record , to my knowledge , u single case of phromia in which the patient's pulse was BO , liigh as Guiiield'u has been nil along.

The case of Sergeant Mason , to shooting at Guitoau , did not come be fore the court martial. Its busincs was confined to routine army matters ono case bcimr that of a soldier win \\entto \yhiloguardingtho Whit House. Considerable doubt exists OF to whether the military nuthoritiei will try Masonand the opinion of tin army officers at the department is tha he will not bo so tried. It is almost certain that a military tria \\ill nut be ordered until civil author ity oflicially notify the nrm officials that they do not intend to move in the matter. Should thocivi" branch not attempt the trial of Ma sou , the military authorities woul ( then deal with him as with any other soldier who had been disobedient to tl'O orderr. " 'jV ' JAN i . ih this case is the fact that it inn ; necessitate the appearance of Guitouu as d jivitnuss. So far as known there was no witness to the act itself oxcopl Guitcau , who claims to have scon the flash , and Mason will on trial insisl an a strict proof ) of the shooting. D.ipt. McGiloray , on hearing the report , saw Maoon with the musket in his hand just as ho had fired it , but did not see the fact it self. OUlTKAU'fi STATEMENT is , however , doubted , aa ho ilrat told the guaids that ho was lying down on the bed. It is true that Mason in 'ormed Captain McGiloray that ho irod the shot and intended to kill lim. ciiors or RUSSIA. Under date of July 29 the United states commercial agent at Dussol- lorf sends to the department of state jxtracts from a carefully prepared ro ) ort of tlio Rnssian minister of ggri- iulturo , by which it is shown that the vhc.it is fully 20 per cent , ess than thu average crop , ind is 25 per cent less than the esti- nato. The falling off in rye is from 15 to 30 per cent.
