Special Dispatch to The Chicago 2rtbunes Wasinxatos, D.C, Aug. 31—The Presi- dent, unless the surgeons are mistaken, 1s Improving. ‘They tel! us that he has passeila ‘Detter day.than for yome time past; that he takes his food with Increased relish; und that the conditions are: fayofable. ‘There Is even talk again of rene, so much has he improved sinco the ovisis of Inst Saturday. ‘The lending features Insthe President's case ure still three—the swollen parotid gland, the stomach, and the fvound.

Indeed, — the opening was scarcely largo enough: to have been mentioned or to be talked about. ‘Tho fhuld was simply forced through in the wash- ing, but not to a very large amount, and we apprehend no diMieulty of any sort from that fact.” Still It should also be remembered thatthe surgeons, when the parotid gland first appeared, spoke of it In public us a slight and inconsequential affair, that was to bo expected, and should cause no fear; yet, sinco that thio thts swollen gland has brought the President NEARER TO DEATIUS DOOR than any othor of the varlous complications of this wonderful case. ‘The opening into the mouth through the throat from thls par- otid gland {8 certainly not desirable, and it is, of vourse, to bo hoped that the surgeons are right in’ tholr dectarations that It 1s of no consequence, Bub the same corrupting power which hag caten a small hole in the neck may continue until it makes a larger one, But should the swelling as rapidly dhninish tomorrow us it has done today, doubtless TII8 OPENING INTO THE THROAT will not bo a cause for alarm, Should, how- ever, the pus abandon the opoutngs made by tho Incistons, and the one through the car and discharge Itlualf through the now holo that has just been made today into the throat, a naw complication would ariso, tho gorious character of which cannot at pres ent bo foretold. ‘The surgeons think that thodanger that this gland will slough olf Is past, or fs rapidly passing, as the abscess Is dininisting in size.

Hf it hud been healthy, and had.ceased to be of that thin, watery, unfavorublechuractor which has heer notleed for the last ten days, the surgeons: would scarcely have omitted to mention It, ‘Tho wound has been dormant since the last relapse.

THE PRESIDENT IIMSELF. has heen able to du more towards locating tt within tho Inst day or so tan any of the doctors, for he has felt {t, and has spoken of apeculiar soreness in acertatn spot when being moved. ‘The problem of the ball and the wound (the original problem In tho case) yet remain unsolved. Yet the surgeon who, of course, know the most about th case, now speak of thom as secondury mute ters, and Dy REYBURN is even reported as having sald today that the question of the removal of tha President is ugaln being considered. Speaking of this, this evening, Dr. Bliss sald: ‘Of course, It is not expected that he will be strong enough to be removed for a couple of weeks, but ull nre agreed as to the jinportance of removing him as soon as possible, He has not this far been affected ‘by malaria, as we ure all convinced, but September begins tomorrow, and itis the worst month of the year in Washington, and one of the worst months for sick people, It will be important TO REMOVE HIM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, for he may be attacked by nalaria in view of. the fact that he is so much exposed to .influ- ences uf that sort”? Belng asked whether le would -be taken down the VPotomnac, or to some place in the Interlor, Dr. Bliss mani- fested n decided opposition to the water trip. and thought that the motion of the boat and the inevitable smell from tho engine might unfavorably affect his stomach, particularly If he went outside the capes to sea, and he soitld not be especially benefited, certainly, by remaining in the river, as all the upper part of the river, partieularly in September, is noted for malaria, ‘The President NAS 118 HEART SET UPON MENTOR, and, having heard to-day that tho physicians were again considering the propriety of ree moving him soon, stated that he would very much like to be taken to Mentor. He was notified that he could not be moved so far, partlentarly at first, and, although the physl- cling say ‘nothing about it, there fs an ine pression that Deer Park or Oakland, on the erest of the Allegheny Mountains, on the Baltfnore & Oblo Road, may jected, ‘The place Is noted for its healthfulness, and its hotels have necommodations which could notbe readily found elsewhere in a mount alnouscountry, Besldes, DEER PARI Js In the direction of Mentor, and it would be more easily reached by railroad than most other healthful places, ‘he gage of the Pennsylvania avenué ‘street-rallroad {fs such that 0 Pullman car could be brought to the White House gate and transferred to the Baltimore & Obie Road without any diftl- culty, so that the President necd not be enr- ried upon a stretcher for a further «distance. than from the siek-room to the gate, Tho War Department has made all necessary ar- rangements to move the President upon the most linproved appliances for the transporta- tion of the wounded, and it 1s proposed that, {f he is removed, to place a bed upon springs in the cars, so that he could be scarcely con- scious of any jarrlug.
