BUT LITTLE CHANGE TO-DAY. PLANS FOR HIS REMOVAL BY RAIL, TO BE TAKEN 70 LONG BRANCH SOON. The President last night had a recurrence of the high pulse, and restlessness of four nights ago. Again as the early hours of the morning came on, the pulse went down and sleep went on; after one o'clock the President slept well, He is a very little weaker than yesterday morning, but otherwise he has held his own. The physicians say that the President is keeping about even. This morning the breakfast of the patient was somewhat varied. He had some milk toast, and got the benefit that lies in the breasts of three reed birds cut up in fine pieces. The President did not swallow the meat, but the juice of the slightly underdone reed bird meat was assimilated. This morning it is more than ever imperative that the President shall be remoyed. The doctors say this. It is now only a question of at what time, and how the re- moval shall be made by rail. Removal by water is now one or the things not taken much into consideration. Dr. Bliss was thoroughly out of all concert with a voyage by water after he in- spected the Tallapoosa yesterday afternoon. He was never much in love with that project any- how. The morning bulletin showed nothing bad, but at the same time it was not as good as might have been expected from the favorable announcement oflast night. It was as follows: Oficial Bulletin—8:30 a, m. A LITTLE MORE RAPID PULSE THAN YESTERDAY MORNING. The President was somewhat more restless than usual during the early part of the night, but slept better after 1am. This morning his general condition does not differ materially from what it wns at the same hour yesterday, except that there is a slight increase in the frequency of the pulse. Pulse 104, temperature 98.6, res- piration 18. [Signed by five surgeons.] AT THE DRESSING OF THE WOUND this morning it was found not to have been much changed. There was a slight improve ment in it, however. There was a discl of pus from the wound, and it had become thicker and more healthy in appearance. There had been no discharge from the wound for several days until this morning to speak of. THE PAROTID GLAND was farther diminished and the discharge from it was satisfactory. The gland is not yet heal- ing, but is doing as well as it could do. There is no indication that pus has accumulated in other parts of the body nor is there any fear on that account entertained. 11 A.M.—HOLDING Hs OWN. The President passed the forenoon comforta- bly. His pulse went down below the figures of the morning bulletin about eleven o'clock. His condition was a little better at eleven than it was this morning. There was but little if any fever. All reports from the sick room were that all was going well and the President was hold- ing his own. DR. AGNEW ARRIVED abont eleven o’clock and a conference upon re- moving the President was held at once. Judge Wylie called this morning with Secretary Blaine. All of the Cabinet officers called. Hon. Jere Black came to inquire about the President. NOON—MALARIA AFFECTING THE PATIENT. The condition of the President has not mate- rially changed since yesterday, although he was thought this morning to be a little weaker and less animated. There seems to be a growing impression among his attendants that he is beginning to be unfavorably affected by the weather, and by the malarious air from the Potomac river flats immediately south of the Executive Mansion. The rank vegetation which, fertilized by the city sewage, and stimulated by abundant water and hot sunshine, covers these flats during the summer, is now beginning to decay, and since yesterday morning a faint malodorous mist has hung over the river from the water front of the Executive Mansion grounds to Long bridge. Almost ever man who has recently been engaged in the worl of improving the channel of the river has been more or less sick with malarta. Doctor Hamilton said yesterday to Col. Crook that the President had not much chance to live in such an atmos- phere as that carried by the southerly wind every day from these flats to the windows of his room, and that in his opinion the necessity of removal is now urgent. One of the attending surgeons said to a friend this morning that the President’s symptoms had, he thought, taken on a slightiy intermittent character within the past four days. Wednesday morning heseemed brighterand more animated, Thursday he was less so. Yesterday again was a good day, and this morning the patient seemed weaker and more languid. He (the surgeon) thought the President, ought not Se pen an Beat abd than neces- sary, and he wor vote for speedy removal. The risk to be run in toga him may was not, in his opinion, as great as the risk of allowing him to remain here. The patient’s condition has improved a little since early morning and is now abont the same as yesterday. * The noon bulletin showed no change since this morning. The pulse was the same, the tem- perature had gone down two tegths, and the respiration remained the same. The following was the bulletin: Official Bulletin—12:30 p. m. The President's condition bas not materially changed since the morning bulletin was issued. Pulse 104, temperature 98.4, respiration 18. {Signed by the six surgeons] 8 P.M.—ALL GOING WELL.

About half-past seven o'clock Jast evening Dr. Hamilton, in company with .Gol. Crook, paid a visit of inspection to the Potomac flats. They stopped right on the riverfront on the other side of Babcock lake. The effiuvia from the flats hung like a mist over wafted sae on the ong ei cup to about four feet above water and thick. usual. “These are the flats, Hamilton. “These are the fig inion. “What a smell!” fork surgeon. “It smellg After a moment's pause and a.

RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS—WHO WILL ACCOM PANY THE PATIENT. ‘When the President is removed all the mem- bers of the Cabinet will accompany him. Attor- ney General MacVeagh has telegraphed to the president of the Pennsylvania railroad asking if a train of six cars could be procured. He has received a reply that the train will be ready whenever it is wanted, at any hour of the day or night. It will hardly be necessary to have six cars. The plan now generally discussed is to have first the President’s car; behind it the sur- geons car; after that a car for the Cabinet of- cers, and then another car for the baggage and for the newspaper men who will accompany the President. After that will come the engine and tender pushing the whole slowly along. DR. BOYNTON ON THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION AND PROPOSED REMOVAL Dr. Boynton was asked by Tue Star reporter this morning if the President was not a little weaker than*vesterday. “Yes, he is a little weaker,” answered the doc- tor, “but on the whole he is about the same. There has not been, I would say, any retrozres- sion. The slightly weaker condition is due to the restlessness of the early part of last night. That would tend to weaken hii “Last night was a bad night? “No. He did not rest as wellas the evening before, but I would not call it a bad night. His Testlessness is not attributable to any particular thing. It was simply an occurrence likely t® happen to any man in his condition. He is a very weak man.” “Has he gained any strength?” “There has been no gain of strength since last Sunday. Still his appearance and symp- toms are such as indicate that lie is holding his own.” “‘Are the stimulating enemata continued ?” “Yes. Dr. Bliss prepares them and adminis- ters them as heretofore. The stomach is doing well, but there isno real improvement in his appetite.” “Is there any malaria in the system?” “I do not think there is, but there is plenty of it around.” ie the President show any of the effects of it?” “None except that itis apparent that he Is somewhat influenced by it. Wounds do not heal as well in malarial districts as in those free from it. While there is none of the miasma in the system it is true that the President's condi- tion is affected by its presence in the air.” “When do you think the President will be re- moved?” “I cannot say exactly when, but I do not think it will be many days. He must be got out of here as early as possible.” “Could he be moved to-day?” “Well, it is only a question of removal with some danger attending it, and staying here with much greater danger hanging over him than would be caused by remoyal.” te trip by water is about given up, is it not?” “I cannot say anything about that. I think, however, you can say he will be removed by rail. ‘Will the cars be run to the White House, or will the President be taken to the depot ?” “That I don’t know. It is not settled. of the details are.” THE PRESIDENT TO BE TAKEN TO LONG BRANCH NEXT WEDNESDAY. Dr. Boynton, who just passed down Penn- sylvania avenue, was asked by a represent ative of the Associated Press what conclu- sion had been reached regarding the %e- moval of President Garfield from Washing- ton. The doctor replied that he understood it had been virtually decided to remove the patient by rail to Long Branch some time before Wednesday next. A proposition is now under discussion, the doctor said, to lay a track from the Executive Mansion to the Washington Monument, there to connect with a track of the Pennsylvania railroad used for transporting stone. Further than this the doctor said he could not talk, as the details had not been arranged. In response to an in- quiry where the patient would be placed upon his arrival at Long Branch, the doctor said: “That has not yet been decided upon.” THE SURGEONS’ DECISION. The conference of surgeons to-day resulted in a decision that the President should be removed as soon as he is strong enough. It was also decided that he was not strong enough ,to be removed now. It wasalso decided that he be taken to Long Branch, and that he be taken there by rail. Arrangements to carry their de- cision into effect will beimmediately commenced. That the President will goto Long Branch there is not much doubt. It is not thought that the change could be made inside of four or five days. Dr. Bliss says it willbe almost impos- sible to take along newspaper correspondents, as a guard of soldiers will go with the President. LATER—REMOVAL PROBABLE WITHIN 72 HOURS..| It can be stated on the authority or one of the physicians at the conference that the President will be moyed just as soon as the preparations are made. These have alreadycommenced. He will be out of the city in & very few days—prob- ably inside of 72 hours. GOV. HOYT SUGGESTS A NATIONAL Day OF PRAYER. Gov. Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, telegraphed to Secretary Blaine on the ist instant, stating that he deemed it fitting that the people of Pennsyl- yania should have, by proclamation, an oppor- tunity to assemble ona secular day, between the hours of 10 a.m. and. noon, to make public pela, for ae Hopton of res : President to and asking wor ina} riate for the of State to ‘undertake, pacar concurrent action in all the states. Goy. Hoyt suggests Tuesday next as a day not too near. To this Secretary Blaine to-day replied as fol- lows: “Proclamations are so essentially acts of supreme executive power that the Cabinet has felt author to assume its exercise even for the object which you propose, heartily as None they sympathize with it and earnestly as th dake it.

Both claimed to be the wife | Ohio a German of the President, and insisted that see ogee go to the White House to nurse him.

Points to be Settled—Views of Senators Jones and Garland, ‘The question ofthe inability of the President and thetransfer of the executive office duringits con- tinuanceto theVice President continues to bea leadingone. The plan broached,that the President | invite the Vice President to actin his stead and | sign his nameforhim, isgenerally scouted as un- | tenable in law. The three points uppermost | are, what constitutes Presidential inability, who | is to determine when it exists, and who is to determine when it ceases ? SE ON. Senator Jones, of Florida, is in the city. His opinion is that there can be no temporary dis- ability of the President. The constitution pre- scribes that the Vice President shall become President only in case of the death, re: or inability of the President to di powers and duties of his office. He thinks t the disability contemplated by stitution means a disability so pronounced that the ex- ecutive shall in every sense be dead, as it were, or unable to discharge his duties for the re- mainder of his term. SENATOR GARLAND, OF ARKANSAS, who is in the c'ty, refuses to give any opinion in extenso on the subject, as it is a question that | he might be called to pass upon in his capacity as Senator sooner or later. He intimated, how- ever, very plainly that he did not believe the Cabinet ‘had any power to act in any capacity other than as advisers of the President. He said in one sense it was purely a constitutional ques- tion, and in another there might be much poli- tics in it. and he had made it a rule throughout his public life never to give an opinion on publi questions that he might be called upon asa ator to pass upon officially, for the reason that he might have to modify or explain. A HYPOTHETICAL Case is thus put by a lawyer: “Suppose, instead of being shot, that the President had met witha railroad accident whereby he lost both his hands. This would debar him from signing his name, but it would not create such an inability that he could not act as President so long as his mind was clear. Hence the logical conclusion is that an inability to act, means the loss of: mental ca- Pacity, and not physical incapacity.” THERE WAS A CABINET CONFERENCE this morning, beginning at 11 o'clock, at the State department. All the members of the Cab- inet were present. The session lasted over an hour. None of the members will disclose what the object of the meeting was. The surmise is that some plan was discussed whereby, in case of the removal of the President, the Vice Presi- dent will be called to exercise the functions of the executive office. A rumor afloat is that the | Cabinet will request, in writing, an opinion at the hands of the surgeons as to how long, in | their opinion, it will take the President to suf- | ficiently conyalesce to assume the duties of the | presidential office. This opinion will be made | known to the President, who will thereupon request the Vice President to act as President for the length of time set forth in the report of the surgeons. The condition of the public business in the several departments was reviewed, and it is be- lieved the question of the necessity for some ex- ecutive action pending the President's tempo- | rary inability to act was discussed, though the invariable response to all inquiries whether this matter was under discussion was a declination to speak upon the subject. One memberof the Cabinet, to the query “Mr. Secretary, was it thought necessary to have another President at present?” replied, “I trust it will not be neces- sary.” Other than this the honorable Secretary persisted in remaining entirely non-committal. SS | MONUMENT. Col. Wm. P. Craighill, U. S. engineers, de- tailed by the Secretary‘of War to superintend the construction and erection of the monu- ment at Yorktown, arrived in Baltimore yester- day from Yorktown. He reports that the foundation for the base of the monument has been dug and filled in with granite concrete. The corner-stone of granite, taken fi Richmond quarries—the same from whi War and Navy department buildings at zton has been constructed—is on the ground, ready to be lowered in position for Ma- sonic ceremonies. The encampment for United States troops and military and Masonic societi will be on the Temple farm, about a mile and a | half distant from the monument site. It is an open field, nearly level, but with sufficient un- dulation for proper drainage, and welt adapted to anyencampment. In position the regulars will oceupy the right of the field, and Gen. Han- cock’s headquarters will be there. The same ground was occupied by Washington's line one hundred years ago, and by G army in 1862. On_ this field from 1,200 to 1.500 tents, each sheltering fifteen men and furnished by the War department, will be erected. For the accommodation of the executive officers of the government, members of the Cabinet, the congressional commission and distinguished guests a reception building—100 feet long and 60 feet wide—is being built. In addition the commission have rented the old Nelson House, which is re ee thorough repair, and said to be intended for the French Engi- neers Braxton and Webb, of the Geomipakenen Ohio road, met Colonel Craighill at Yorktown on Wednesday and went over < ee with the view of locating the entrance of their branch road. dition to these preparations wor §8 also being done by the York- town Cenicznial Association on the Temple farm.
