His pulse fluctuated during the night and he w; feverish. There was no recurrence of vomiting, and there was none this morning up to noon. Sleep overtook the President about ten o'clock last night, but he did not rest at all comfortably until after midnight. He talked about his re- moval and the arrangements for it. Although every effort was made to quiet him he would not. for a time, be quiet, but persisted in talking of the matter and arranging the details of his going. Dr. Bliss and the others told him that all arrangements were being made as rapidly as possible, and that as soon as they were com- pleted they would start on their journey. This morning he was yery weak, but there was no change for the worse beyond the fact of being a little weaker than yesterday. His pulse has be- come more tractable. This morning he took beef extract and chicken broth. Three squirrels which were brought from Arlington this morn- ing are being prepared for him. The following was the morning bulletin: Official Bulletin—8:30 a, m. The President was somewhat restless during the early part of the night, but slept well after midnight. He has taken by the mouth and re- taied the nutriment prescribed. This morning his pulse is less frequent than yesterday. His temperature is a degree above normal. Pulse, 102; temperature, 99.5; respiration, 18. [Signed by five surgeons.] _, A MORE FREQUENT PULSE. The President did not pass as comfortable a forenoon as was desirable. He was restless and his fever came on. His pulse ran up to 114 be- tween 11 and 12 o'clock, and was high all during the forenoon. The President continued to talk about his removal this morning, and perhaps to that excitement his higher pulse is to be attrib- uted. The noon bulletin was as follows. The Official Bulletin—12:30 p. m. The President's condition has not changed materially since the last bulletin was issued, ex- cept that there is some increase in the frequency of the pulse. He has taken with some relish the nourishment administered by the mouth, and had no return of gastric irritability. Pulse 114, temperature 99.5, respiration 18. [Signed by five surgeons.] THE PRESIDENT’S EAGERNESS TO GET AWAY. The first thing the President asked Dr. Bliss this morning when he went into the room was: “Well, is this the last day in the White House?” Dr. Bliss tried to quiet him, telling him that he was doing so well where he now is that there was no necessity for immediate removal. “No, no,” said the President, “I don’t want any more delay.” DR. BLISS SAID at noon to-day that the President was getting along nicely; that there wasnothing to complain about in his case and that he would be moved from Washington as soon as possible. At a quarter to 1 o’clock Dr. Bliss was asked by THe Star reporter how the President was getting along. “Very well,” was the reply. ‘He continues to talk about going away and is somewhat rest- less on that account.” “Does the increase of the pulse since this morning indicate anything bad?” “No. Such a change as that in the pulse does not indicate anything unfavorable. These are ex] and frequently occur.” low is the wound?” “Well, we think the wound isa little better to-day. The discharge has been healthy.” 3 P.M.—THE PATIENT DOING WEL There has been no change in the President’s condition since noon. The afternoon is passing quietly and comfortably. His pulse remained at 2 o'clock about the same as at noon. It did not fluctuate. “The President is doing well,” was the report of surgeons and all. At3 o'clock there had been no change. Mrs. Garfield has spent most of the day in get- ting ready to leave atany hour. THE BULLETINS TO BE CONTINUED. Private Secretary Brown says it is the inten- tion to send several official communications to the Executive Mansion each day for the benefit ot those who may call to ascertain the Presi- dent’s condition. Beyond this no details have yet been arranged with rezard to the manner of issuing bulletins; but it is thought that the same plan which has been pursued here will be con- tinued. The Patient’s Condition Yesterday. There was some uneasiness yesterday about the President’s condition, which continued du- ring the night. Tfe patient was a little weaker yesterday. The recurrence of vomiting, which s caused by the gagging in the throat, was not looked upon with alarm by the dectors. The story of the day is told in the following DISPATCH FROM SECRETARY BLAINE LAST NIGHT: Lowell, Minister; : Last night the President did not rest well, and twice during the night his stomach was so disturbed that he vomited. During the day he has been better and has swallowed the usual quantity of food and retained it. His puise, however, has been higher than for the two pre- x days. His surgeons do not think he has lost ground, but he certainly has not gained since last night’s dispatch. At this hour, 10:30, he is quietly sleeping. BuatneE. Secretary. SUNDAY BULLETINS. 8:30 a.m.—The President vomited once late last evening, and once about an hour after mid- night. Notwithstanding this disturbance he slept well most of the night, and this morning has taken food by the mouth without nausea and has retained it. His pulse is somewhat more frequent, but in other respects his condi- tion is about the same as at this hour yester- day. Pulse, 108; temperature, 8.4; respiration, EXecvTIVe MANSION, Sept. 4, 12:30 p.m.—The President's condition has not changed materially since the last bulletin was issued, and there has been no further gastric disturbances. Pulse, 106; temperature, 98.4; respiration, 18. EXECUTIVE Mansion, Sept. 4, 6:30 p.m.—The President has passed a comfortable day. He has | taken his food with some relish, and had no re- turn of the irritability of stomach reported in the morning’s bulletin. “The parotid swelling con- tinues to fuprove, and is now so far reduced that the contour of his face is restored. The wound shows no material change. The rise of temperature this afternoon has been very slight, but his pulse was more frequent throughout the day than yesterday or the day before, and he showed more fatigue after the dressings. Pulse, 110; temperature, 99; respiration, 18.

Progress of the Preparations—Arrival of tne Train, Etc, About two o'clock this morning a special train arrived at the Baltimore and Potomac R. R. depot, consisting of the engine and cars of the special train to convey President Garfieldand party to Long Branch. This train will be under the immediate charge of General Train Master Watts, of the New York division of the Penn- sylvania railroad, and will be manned as follows: J. M. Whelpley,- conductor; James Kelly, master, and Geo. Dean, brakesman, all of the New York division. It will be drawn by engine 569 (an anthracite coal burner), William Page, engineer, P. W. Loomis and E. Gunnell, firemen. There will be no dust from this engine, which will ran through to Long Branch. It isin the very best order, and there will be so little noise made that the party will hardly be aware that they are ona train. There will be inthis train car No. 33 (an East- lake which has been specially fitted up for the President), car 120 Pennsylvania railroad (Pres- ident Roberts’ special car),car 268 (an Eastlake) and baggage car 59. THE PRESIDENT'S CAR AND BED. Car 83, in which the bed for the President is lald, was fitted for the occasion at Altoona, and left there yesterday. All the seats were taken out and the car thoroughly renovated. A false top was put on a few inches above the roof of the car, in order to give the air an opportunity to circulate between it and the roof, so as to keep the car cool. The ‘ition was taken out and replaced by folding doors, and storm doors added to the platform doors. Wire gauze was fastened on the outside of the car, completely enclosing the parlor apartment, to keep the car free from dust. The inside was huag with heavy curtains, and Brussels carpet was laid on the floor. Two large ice boxes, well filled with ice, are in one apartment. On the sides of the car are several heavy engine axles for ballast. About the center of the apartment for the President, his bed is made—a mattress over 15 inches deep being set on two boards covered with cloth, the ends resting *on cleats on the top of the wash- board, and judging from the trial made he will ride easy. If the rate of speed should be 20 to 25 miles per hour the elevation, in goin; round the curves, (about five inches) wil scarcely be perceived. THE PRESIDENT TO BE TAKEN DOWN THE AVE- NUE TO SIXTH STREET, TO WHICH POINT A TRACK 18 BEING LAID. The project of removal to the train, near the Washington monument, has been given up, and when ready it is understood that the President will be removed down Pengsylvania avenue ona stretcher, in a covered wagon, and be lifted into the car at the corner of 6th street and the avenue. To make this possible Chief Engineer Walters had on the ground this morning a force of 300 men, who at once proceeded to lay a track on the east side of 6th street, to that point from the main track, below the depot—a dis- tance of over 300 yards. In less than two hours all the ties were down, and in 21¢ hours the rails were in place, and a train, with gravel to ballast it, was ready to back on and do that work. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PASSAGE BY RAIL. Mr. George C. Wilkins, superintendent of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, will have charge of the train to Baltimore, and Mr. Wim. Craw- ford, the general agent of the Philadelphia, Wil- mington and Baltimore railroad, will superintend it from there to Philadelphia. At this point Mr. James McCrea, superintendeat of the New York division of the Pennsylvania-railroad, will take charge and run the train to the end of the jour- ney. Notice has been given to conductors and engineers to be on the lookout for the warning | of the approach of the presidential train. Im- mediately upon the receipt pf information that the train has left Washington, the trains going south on the Baltimore Potomac will be stopped at the nearest stagion or switched off unti! the train containing the President has passed by. It is intended that no noise of pass- ing trains shall disturb the president, and for that reason trains sving in epposite directions will wait until the special-has passed them. The same rule will be adoptéd on the way from Baltimore to Philadelphia, The railroad people have decided to leave the question of the rate of speed to the surgeons who have charge of the President’s case. If they want the journey to be made as fast as practicable, it is believed that the train will be run one mile per minute, but it is thought that it will not be deemed proper to run it ata particnlarly rapid. rate, and the im- pression is that the rate will be from twenty to thirty miles per hour. Later. ARRANGING THE DETAILS OP THE REMOVAL—THE PATIENT NOT TO BE TAKEN FROM HIS BED. The details of the President’s removal are be- ing perfected this afternoon. He will not be taken from his bed. The bedstead will be re- moved from the White House to Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street in a covered vehicle. The track was extended up to that point,as men- tioned aboye.in order to avoid going over the cob- ble stones which pave the streets immediately contiguous to the depot. Where the Belt line street-car road, the 9th street road and the 7th street road cross the avenue there would be some jolting of the vehicle containing the President. This will be overcome by plank- ing laid over the railroad ties. THE CARS AND WHO WILL OCCUPY THEM. Superintendent Ely, who has charge of the motor department of the Pennsylvania railroad and who has fixed up the President’s car, called at the White House to-day in company with Attorney General MacVeagh, and saw the sur- geons. He explained to them the arrangements of the car and answered all questions. It was decided that the surgeons should inspect the train during the day. The three cars will beoccupied by the President, his family, the surgeons, and those whotgo from the office. Mrs. Garfield and Miss Mollie will accompany the President. The surgeons, including Dr. Agnew and Dr. Boynton will along. Mrs. Edson will also be taken on the train. Out- side of those will be Private Secretary Brown, Col. Rockwell and Mrs. Rockwell, Gen. Swaim and Col. Corbin, Mr. Hendley, the official ste- nographer, may go. There be no one from the President's office except Mr. Brown. There is no necessity of others going. If they are wanted after the President gets to Long Branch they will be sent for. The train will move at a very fair speed. No newspaper men will be on AT LONG BRANCH the President will occupy Francklyn cottage, near the Elberon hotel, which has been placed at his disposal. There also will be located Mrs. Garfield, Miss Mollie, Gen. Swaim and Colonel and Mrs. Rockwell. Col. Corbin will only re- main at the Branch two or three days. There are two small cottages near Francklyn cottage. One of these will be occupied by the surgeons and the other by Mr. Brown as a sort of an ex- ecutive office. THE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET. Attorney General MacVeagh left for Elberon station this morning, accompanied by Mrs. Mac- Veagh. He will make all the arrangements ne- cessary for the reception of the President, and will remain there until he arrives. The other members of the Cabinet will not go with the President, but will go to Long Branch from bey % ae Postmaster General James is ing e e mountains. ‘his morning for Philadelphia. ices THE PRESIDENTIAL TRAIN will not stop unless it is absolutely 3 Ferd tas ten angen ee no demonstration or unusual gathering be made.

In shert, the air which precedes a dey from every house was apparent on all sides at the Executive Man- sion to-day. THE TRACK COMPLETED. The work under Mr. Waltere—constructing the track—was completed by noon, and the road was well ballasted. It was, however, subse- quently determined-to add a short addition to it, so that when it is completed the end of one car will be near the W. and G. railroad tracks. This is done to make it unnecessary for the wi gon in which the President will be taken to the cars to go upon any rough pavement. INSPECTING THE TRAIN. Col. Rockwell, accompanied by Surgeon Gen- eral Barnes, Dr. Bliss and Dr. Aghew, after the noonday bulletin had been issued, went to the depot about one o'clock to-day to see the arrangements and to prey for the removal. Here it was found that Mr. Walters had com- pleted the track as above stated, and the work of preparing the special car was about complete. THE PRESIDENT'S BED was the prineipal object of interest. This is, as above described, and is in the rear part of the car. A partition, with folding doors, separates it from the front part. Heavy green curtains are draped at the head and foot of the couch, and inthe end near the door will be placed a number of chairs, In the front of the car are two ice boxes,in which there is a quantity pene and the commissary department has een attended to by Mr. Mat Server. Mr. Ely, the superintendent of motive power, had the work of pre} g this car, and particularly had the bed in e, and he explained it fully to the visitors. AN EXPERIMENTAL TRIP. The train being found already made up—car 268, car $3 (the President’s special), and car 120 President Roberts’ car), and at the suggestion of Col. Rockwell an engine was attached and a short trip taken—to Benning’s, about five miles out. There was on the train ee Second Auditor Harmon, and Messrs. Walters, Sharp and others of the railroad. As soon as the train started Col. Rockwell threw himself upon the mattress and soon satisfied himself that it would ride easy. Dr. Bliss then laid down on it, and it was found to ride perfectly satisfactory. The train was run at different rates of speed, and across the branch 40 miles per hour was at- tained. To the surprise of some there was less | motion than at a slower rate, and it is likely | that this will be the standard. THE REMOVAL LIKELY TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. On the return trip a consultation was held by Col. Rockwell with Mr. Ely and the other rail- | road men, the result of which was that an agreement was made as to the time of leaving, and that no persons be allowed on the train ex- cepting those holding passes signed by Col. Rockwell. While this time has not been made public, there are reasons to believe that unless some accidents occur by breakfast time to-mor- row morning, the President will be gliding on to his destination. THE SURGEONS ALL THINK THE PATIENT CAN BE REMOVED. All the surgeons say that the President is get- ting along well to-day, and that no obstacle to his removal has occurred or is likely te occur. DR. BOYNTON SAID THIS AFTERNOON that in his opinion the President was better to- day than yesterday. “Is there any improvement in the wound?” was asked. “Yes, I think that has improved a little.” “Ts the day being passed comfortably “Yes. The rise in pulse is nothing more than has occurred several days past. It does not in- dicate-anything alarming. There has nothing of a disturbing character occurred to-day. The gland has gone down so far that it is impossible | for it to again cause any disturbance.” “You think the President can stand removal?” “Yes. Heisno weaker now than for some days past.

It will be tried, | and if found more satisfactory than the bed upon | which the President now rests will be used in | its stead. In either case the bed and bedstead | opinion the Cabinet, nor any member thereof, | will be taken tothe train by vehicle. Arriving | at the train the President will be placed upon a | water bed. The water bed is india rubber in- | flated by water. It is cool and will be a pre- | ventive against possible jolting. LATEST ABOUT THE REMOVAL. Orders were issued from the White House ata Jate hour this afternoon that an Adams express wagon, specially selected for the purpose by Dr. Bliss, be at the house to-night in time to remove the President to the depot at half-past 5 to-mor- row morning. A platform on a level with the wagon will be built ont from the porch, so that the bed can be taken in the vehicle without trouble. The wa- | gon is a low one and the bed will go in on a level and be taken out on a level at the ear. This order was given publicity and does not | settle the hour at which the Presidentisto leave. | It is not thought advisable that the exact hour | should be given to the public. NO “OFFICIAL BUSINESS” AT LONG BRANCH. In making the removal to Long Branch very little that smacks of business will be taken from the White House. Mr. Brown willnot take | any papers bearing upon official business. The | only business which will be transacted at Long | Branch will be business immediately connected | with the President’s condition. There will be | nothing whatever of an official character under- | taken, and no papers relating to business of that | kind will be takenalong. A lot of official White House stationery has been packed for transpor- tation. . DR. HAMILTON AT LONG BRANCH MAKING AR- RANGEMENTS. A dispatch from Long Branch last night says: | Dr. Hamilton was here to-day making prepara- | tions for the arrival of the President. Mr. C. T. | Jones, proprietor of the Elberon Hotel, has offered the entire hotel to the President and family, the Cabinet officers and. attending sur- | eons. The President was the guest of M. lones the week before the attempted assassin: tion. Mr. Charles Francklyn, whose large and | commodious cottage adjoins the Elberon Hotel. has offered its use for the President and family. | The hotel is full of guests, but all of them have signiiied their willingness to give up their apart- | ments for the use of the presidential party. The hotel is scarcely large enough to accommodate the entire party, and Dr. Hamilton says Mr. Francklyn’s offer will probably be accepted. The cottage is directly on the bluff overlooking the sea and only a few hundred feet from the hotel, with which it is connected by telephone. The arrangements, if meeting with the approval of the other aiienaing physicians, are to have the President removed to Mr. Francklyn’s cottage, while the doctors and the Cabinet will occupy the hotel. | THE INABILITY QUESTION. Views of Judge Wetshired Ex-Representative Wiltshire, who for four years was chief justice of the supreme court of Arkansas, isin the city. As to when the Vice President should act in case of the President's inability, the judge said to a Star reporter: “It seems to me that there can be but little difficulty in determining that question should the emergency arise. The duties of the Vice President are defined by the constitution. The most important of which. and I apprehend the most delicate, would be that of exercising the powers and_ performing the duties of President in case of the inability of President Gartield to exercise and perform the same. His duty, how- ever, to do so would be none the less when the emergency arises. When that emergency exists is one of great importance and delicate to de- cide. We can imagine many conditions into which the President might fall or misfortunes happen him that would render the condition of the Vice President exceedingly embarrassing, such as the President becoming paralyzed and unable to speak or to express himself in writing, or in case of temporary or permarent insanity. In the one casehe would be physically, and inthe other case mentally unable to express or declare anything. These conditions of the President, fortunately for both the President and the coun- try, do not exist; therefore, we have only to deal with the question pending. I think there canbe no doubt that if President Garfield, in his pres- ent condition, as it is ziven to the country by the eminent physicians attending him, should, in a letteraddressed to Vice President Arthur, declare that there were important powers and duties to be exercised and performed at the present time | th by the President of the United States, and that he, from the causes well known to exist, was | physically unable, for the time being, to perform the came, it would become the duty of Vice Pres- ident Arthur to at once enter upon the perform- ance of the same. The fifth paragraph of the first section of article second of the Constitu- tion provides that ‘In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation | or inability to discharge the powers and duties of said office the same shall devolve on the Vice President.’ From the doubts expressed on this subject it seems to be a question whether it was the office of President that devolved on the Vice President in the present case or only the duties of that office. Hitherto the powers and duties of the office of President has not devolved on the Vice President except in cases of the di of the President. Vacancies in that office If | not so far been occasioned by either removal or resignation. This is the first instance in the history of the government when there has been aphysical inability of the President ‘to dis- charge the powers and duties’ of that office, and it would seem to be the most reasonable conclu- sion, one most consistent with the language of the paragraph of the constitution referred to, that should President Garfield determine, and so declare to Vice President Arthur, that there were important powers and duties to be exer- cised and performed at the present time, and that he was physically unable to perform the same, that the exercise of such powers and the performance of such duties would imimedi- ately devolve on Vice President Arthur, and not the office of President. The Vice President would not be permitted to exercise a discretion as to whether he would or would not discharge that duty. because it is im- posed upon him by the constitution. In the discharge of this constitutional duty, he would | Any other con- | do so as Vice President. only. clusion would render nugatory the words ‘or inability to discharge the powers and duties of said office,’ contained in the paragraph of the constitution referred to.” Star.— Judge, it is thought by some that in the absence of any provision being made by Congress, there is no means of determining the | inability of the President.to perform the powers and duties of his office.” Judge W.—In the present case that is a mis- take. Ifthe President is in the enjoyment of his mental faculties, as we are given to under- stand he is, there perhaps could be no better authority of determining that question than himself; ‘and that question determined, the duty ice President is plain.” * But suppose the President was men- | tally incapacitated to determine that question; who else could doso? Could the Cabinet or other public officer? Judge W.—“1 think not. It would bea dangerous doctrine to maintain that any person or body of persons, not specially authorized by Congress, should be allowed to do so. In my humble nor the Vice President himself, has any more authority to determine that question than the humblest citizen in the land. In the event of such a misfortune, as indicated by your inquiry, the country would be left in the same condition it would be if both President Garfield and Vice President Arthur were now dead. Congress doubtless p es the power to provide, by ap- propriate legislation meet stich an’ emer- gency, under the provisions of paragraph eigh- teen, of article one, of the constitution; which | authorizes that body to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution all powers vested by the constitution, | in the government, ‘or in any department or | officer thereof,” but Congress has not as yet performed the very important duty of exercising that power.” Star.—“Cannot the President call to his assistance the Vice President and authorize him to act in his name?” . Judge W.—Not at all,the powers and duties of the President are vested in him by the con- stitution, and he cannot delegate them to any one. He must either exercise them himself, or they must be performed by the person designated by the constitution. which in the present case would be the Vice President.” +e —___ An Adroit Robbery. NEARLY SIXT! HUNDRED DOLLARS STOL About 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon Mr. Maurice Richards, clerk in the office of Mr. A. L. Barber & Co., went to the Metropolitan bank and drew $1,591.91, for the purpose of paying off the laborers employed on the asphalt paye- ments now under contract by Mr. Barber. He took the cars at 14th and F streets and rode down to Barber and Co.'s office at the Ledroit building, and when he entered Mr. Barber's office some one was standing before the iron safe, so helaiddownthepackages upon his desk in an inner office. One package of bills contained $1.459,and apackage ofsilver contained $132.91. At this time a rather tall, middle-aged man e tered the office and enzaged his attention by looking at some plats of lots, which he pretended he desired to purchase. While so engazed another smaller man entered, and the book- keeper stepped up to wait on him, but soon found he did not want to purchase, and left him, The smaller man left the office and soon after- wards the taller one, when it was discovered the money was missing. A hasty search was made for the men and both were missing, as was also the money, and neither could be found. The detectives have the case in hand. The National Kegatta.
