Tho nfternoon bas been very trying. Tho bent haa been excessite, and tho sult breezes for which the Presitent ‘wns brought over 200 miles have entirely dicd away alnee his arrival. “My God," sald Dr, lise tonight, “we came here for fresh nie, and there isn’t 0 breath." AT NOON THE NEAT OF THE SUN ewasalmost unbenruble, One thermometer, with perhaps nalightls exuggorated upward tendency, registered 12 ata store on Ocean avenito, At Flveron tho thermometer, which all the afters noun had simmered nearly up to 100, fell no lower than @ by So’etuck., In the President's own chamber thery was u refreshing breeze for a few minutes: this afternoon, but, when It ded away, tho room beenme hot, and nt half-past 3 the heat was! degrees, ‘The President himself docs not complain of the heat, but ft is plainty’ seen Jn his restlesness this afternoon and a stight tendency to ve discontented, He snid to Mrs, Edson that his room {ts toosmalt, No doubt it scems go to him in comparison to tho high celling and wito walls of his Inte chamber In tho White House. It is not considered unlikely that, in his present sinte of mind, the President will want soon to be moved on to Montor, Of course such a thing 4g beyond question for several wooka yet under tho most favoravic progress. At intervals tho President slept, and his food was given and tak- en without disturbance, A SLIGHT DISTURBANCE WITIL PHEEGM in his throat, and the oponing of two or threo tritling points of pus under tho arms, wore the ineldents of tho afternoon. About uoon tho pulso was 114, and at Git had fallen again to 108. ‘The temperature on the former examination wns 98, or about normal, while at 6 o'clock, owing to tho hent of the afternoon, it reached 101. The respiration was 18, Thoro was no bul- Jetin afior 6 o'clock, butin tho evening, when the President's room seemed to be with- out a orenth of ale in circulation, both the pulso and the temperature, Dr, Bilas saul, wero somowhnt higher. The parotid swelling, Dr. Bliss sald, was ding well, and still discharging. Onc of tho Incisious through tho cheek had entircly benlod.

He can’t stand lt. Itis enough to kill any sick man.’ Don't you fan the Prosident all the time?" “Certainly; but that is no way to give aman alr. In short, tho cooling apparatus in the Vhite House is missed in the Presidont’s prea- ent roum, and tho temnpernture there today Is higher than he wae used to in Washington. He has, however, escapod tho malarial alr of his former surroundings. IF WE COULD GET ITM UNDER A TENT out bere on the Jawn,” continued Dr, Blras, ** it would be tho bost thing possible.

The Coustitue tion of the United States, unliko the constitu: ton of some of the States, does not provide for the eecond oflicer In the Government noting in the place of tho first in enso of inability. ‘THE CONSTITUTION . : apeaks for itself: {1 cnso of tho removal of the Prestdont from oflica or of bis denth, realx- nation, or imibility to discharge the powers anu duties of the sald ofllce, the sume sbnil devolve onthe Vico-President.” 19 [t not clear from this lunyunga that tho olllee of Pros dent, ‘in caso of inability, devolves on the Vice-President, under tho samo con ditions ond with the samo consequences ag in tha cage of removal, resignation, or donth?
