It is proposed to make the avenue a memorial worthy of its name; to have the slopes of the hill parked, and to make the avenue an attractive drive. Its commanding position would give a view of the entire city.

A Letter Written By Srttine BULL, or rather at his dictation, to one of the interpreters at Standing Rock agency has been forwarded to the Indian bureau. In this letter Sitting Bull expresses himself as very well pleased with the treatment he has received, and says he wants to remain at Standing Rock agency. The War de- partment has not yet given the Indian bureau any information as to what is to be done with Sitting Bull.

Dwight & Hoyt, the lowest bidders. ANOTHER OPERATION ON SENATOR HILL’s MovtH.—A delicate surgical operation was per- formed at the Jefferson Medical College in Phil- adelphia yesterday, by which Senator Hill, of Georgia, was relieved of a troublesome growth of fungus on his tongue and throat. Prof. S. D. Gross performed the operation, the Senator aving been put under the influence of ether. Asmall piece of the tongue and the glands in the floor of the mouth were removed, thus giv- ing entire relief from the trouble. After ten days’ further treatment at the hospital Senator Hill, accompanied by his family, will start for Atlanta. Rem Makes Bap Ixpiaxs.—Commander Glass, commanding the Jamestown, at Sitka, has sent areport to the Navy department under date of August 9th. The Wachusett having arrived on the 30th of July Capt. Glass transferred the command of the station to Commander Lull, of the arriving vessel. July 25th information reached Capt. Glass ot threatened disturbance among the Indians on Prince of Wales Island. In answer to an appeal for profection made by the white residents at Klowack, Ensign Nicholson and twenty men were sent out. They found the disturbance did not amount to much, the Indians only — becoming threatening under the influence of the rum manufactured by them.

THE PRESIDENT “STOOD THE JOURNEY §P: DIDLY.” Mr. Praden late last night received the follew- ing dispatch from Mr. Brown at Long Branch: “President doing well. He isno worse than when he left Washington. Stood the journey splendidly.” THE PRESIDENT DOING WELL TO-DAY. The following dispatch was received to-day by Mr. Pruden: Lone Brancu, 9 a. m.—President slept the greater part of the night, awakening, | however, as often as it was necessary to give | hin’ nourishment, which he took very well. The fever reported in last evening's bulletin had sub- sided by 11 p.m. This morning his temperature is normal and he appears to have quite recoy- ered from the fatigue of yesterday's journey. At the morning dressing the parotid abscess was found to be doing well. The visible part of the wound looks somewhat better. Pulse 106, tem- perature and respiration normal. J. STANLEY Brown. ee The President and His Physicians, DENIAL OF A REPORT. The published statement that the President had requested the dismissal of Drs. Reyburn, Barnes and Woodward comes from Long Branch, but it is five days old in Washington. It was handed around the streets some days ago, and was denied posi ely at the White House. It is again denied there to-day. The quietus to this revived report would seem to be given by the action of the War department, as far as Drs. Barnes and Woodward are con- cerned. The Secretary of War issued an official order directing those two surgeons to proceed to Long Branch. That order holds until another directing them to return to their stations is issued, which will, be when there is no longer necessity for their atten- dance on the President. It has not been issued yet, and there is no probability of its being issued for some time. Dr. Woodward is keeping a record of the President's case, and could hardly be spared. Dr. Reyburn is Dr. Bliss’ special assistant, and Dr. Barnes’ work has been highly valued both by the other surgeons and the President's family. oe ge ee Sanitary Condition of the White House. ITS DRAINAGE, VENTILATION, ETC., TO BE IM- PROVED. The work of thoroughly cleaning the White House will commence at an early day. The house will be cleaned from top to bottom. The carpets will be taken up andthe curtains re- moved and cleaned. Every room will be gone over. There will also be effected an improve- ment in the White House drainage. Colonel Waring, of Rhode Island, a high authority on sanitary matters, about five weeks ago made a thorough inspection of the plumbing and sani- tary condition of the house. He reported that there were some defects, but that the plumbing was much better than the newspaper reports have set forth. He said that there were certain improvements which should be made in the mat- ter of size and location of drainaze pipes. These recommendations will be acted upon in the im- provement of the sanitary —_ condition of the house, which will commence next month. The changes in plumbing will not be very extensive. The matter of vent tion of the house hi tion. The ventilation i be. After e: nt plans for ventila- tion it has been decided to adopt the Rice plan. Col. Rice, who isthe father of this method, will see personally to the changes which will be made. The work on yentilation will, in part, be conducted in connection with the improve. ment of the drainaze. The Rice yentilation will not, however, be fully completed until after the changes and improv s in plumbing are completed. ‘The ventilation of a portion of the house—that occupied in public business—ean | hardly be improved upon. The private part of | the building is not, however, so weil off. While improyed yentilation will be given to the whole | house, there will not be so muel public as in the private part of it. The plans for improvement of ventilation and plumbing have not y« borated in full detail. rca race Wall Street Turns to the Treasury. WHAT SECRETARY WINDOM WILL DO TO RELIEVE THE TIGHT MONEY MARKE’ Money in New York is a little tight. It is lending on call at a pretty high figure. As is always the case under such circumstances, Wall street turns to the Treasury department for re- It is urged that the Secretary of the Treas- ie 2 call for outstanding bonds. Secretary Windom has considered this requ but has not decided in what particular way Hl grant It is pretty well determined that a call will be issued, but when and for what outstanding has not been determined upon. There is inlyno obstacle to the government paying out how in the redemption of its oblizations, revenues amount to about $150,000,- this is the payment of $21,000,000 for “ady called, and which will have to be made in October next. That would leave about $129,000,000 in surplus. But the revenues pile up at the rate of about eight or ten million a day, so even subtracting the $21,000,000 then will still be in surp!usin October about 00. It has been stated that the Sec- retary would either haye to buy 4’s or 4317's be- cause the continued fi and sixes when called in are finally redeemed, and cannot, fore, be used for sinking fund purposes. This view is incorrect. They can be redeemed and applied to the sinking fand. The whole matter involved resolves itself down to about the con- clusion that in making his call for bonds the Secretary will redeem either the fives or sixes, which have been continued at 3:4 per cent, at the consent of the holders. Either the five per cents of ’81 or the sixes of '61 and 63, which are now outstanding in continuation, at 344 per cent, can be redeemed. The fives, in the law authorizing them. require*three months notice to be given before the holders can be called upon to give them up. As to the sixes of "81 there is no _ such provision The department cancall them at any time, and stop the payment of interest on them from the date of the call. It would seem the most likely that the extended sixes, when the time, comes will be the bonds to be redeemed to relieve the money market. The surplus revenues under the policy of Secretary Sherman were maintained at fig- ures between $125,000,000 and 140,000,000. So far this has been the practice of the present ad- iministration of the Treasury department.. $$$ <$<<o. The Apache Troubles, INDIAN AGENT TIFFANY SAYS HE IS ALL RIGHT.

SCENES 4? 1118 ARRIVAL YESTERDAY. Ae stated in Tne Star yesterday, the Presi- dent arrived at Elberon station yesterday after— noon a few minutes after 1 ¢’clock. Ten min- utes later the President was in his cottage. ‘There were about 2,000 persous in the vicinity of the President’s quarters. The regular troops were on guard and no difficulty was experienced in preserving perfect order. No sound was heard tog mar the quiet of the neighborhood. Mrs. Garfield, upon arrival, passed from the President's car to the preceding coach. e A special to the Srak, received too late for the second extra yesterday, says: “Members of the family came out one by one. When the Pres- ident's car was at the proper place for moving him into the cottage, a stalwart man quickly placed a ladder on top of the car and the pre- pared canvas was adjusted as a tent covering to protect the President from the rays of the sun. Quickly men appeared with his bed, which looked like a litter, and he was taken into his room under the canvas way. No one could see his face, but the doctors annonnced that he was better than when he started.

This work was cheerfally done and men enough could have been mustered to move by physical force twenty cars. The grade being a little down, aided the volunteers. THE SIGHT OF THE OCEAN PLEASANT TO THE T. PATIENT. The sight of the ocean seemed to give the President delight. He said to those about him, “It was refreshing to get where he could look at the sea.” ‘The room where he was placed is large and handsomely furnished. When the President was taken in he noticed at once that: the bed was so arranged that he could not look out at the sea, and he insisted that a change in the furniture should at once be made, which was done. After a short rest, the surgeons pro- ceeded to dress the wound, and its condition was found to be slightly improved, some healing indications being observed. At six o'clock he went to sleep quietly and had an unbroken sleep of about two hours. At the dressing of the wound and the evening examination the pulse Was found to be 124 and temperature 101 6-10, the highest it has been for some time. THE EVENING BULLETIN. The evening official bulletin was as follows: September 6, 6:30. p.m.—Since the last bulle- tin was issued the President has been removed from Washington to Long Branch. He was more restless than usual last night, being evi- dently somewhat excited by anticipations of the Journey. This morning, at 5:30 o'clock, his pulse was 118, temperature 99.8, respiration 18. We left Washington with the President at 6:30 a.m. Owing to the admirable arrangements made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and tothe ingeniously arranged bed designed by Mr. M. Ely, the fatigue incident to the trans- portation was reduced toa minimum. Never- theless, as was anticipated, some signs of the disturbance produced by the journey have been exhibited since his arrival, by rise of tempera- ture and increased frequency of pulse. At pre- sent his pulse is 124, temperatnre 101.6, respira- tion 1% [Signed by the six surgeons.) SECRETARY BLAINE’S NIGHTLY SUMMARY.

THE PRESIDENT'S SONS. The New York Herald of to-day sa train from Washington yesterday morning brought to this city Harry and James A. Garfield, jr. The young men aré on their way to Wik. nstown, Mass.. where they expect to enter Williams College on or about Thursday next. They are accompanied by their tutor, Dr. D. W. Hawkes. During the terrible suspense of the past few months both of the boys have been kept busy answering the Presidents letters, &c., but anxiety has told upon them, and they looked careworn and tired. Both are glad that their father has been removed from the White House, and are united in thinking that he will now rapidly improve. The party will remain at the Fifth Avenue Hotel as long as possible so as to be ready to go to Long Branch at once it it be- comes necessary. VICE PRESIDENT ARTHUR. The Herald also says: Vice President Arthur was kept intormed at hourly intervals yesterday of the progress of the train which conveyed the President from Washington to Long Branch. He received dispatches from those in attendance on the Presid@ent and the official bulletins as well. The Vice President expressed himself as well pleased that the journey had been completed without injury tothe patient. and said that he sincerely hoped the change of scene and air would combine to restore the President tohealth and vigor. ————_++-____ The President’s Removal. EXCELLENT ARRANGEMENTS SUCCESSFULLY CAR- RIED OvT. The railroad people here. as well as in Balti- more, have received many congratulations on the successful removal of the President yester- day to Long Branch. When Attorney General MeVeagh asked the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. last week as to conveying the patient to Long Branch, he received a favorable answer, and the officers of the road at once commenced to make the arrangements therefore—Mr. A. J. Cassatt, first vice president, giving the matter his per- sonal attention. Mr. T. N. Ely, the superinten- dent of motive power, a gentleman of great experience, took charge of preparing the car, and discarding the suggestion of a swinging bed’ constructed the device described, which proved so satisfactory. While credit is due to Mr. Watts, of aot City, there ismo less credit due to Mr. G. C. Wiikins, superintendent of the B. & P. railroad; Mr. Walters, the engineer; Mr. Sharp, in charge in this city, and in fact all the officers. As the time for the -train to leave ap- proached, Mr. Wilkins took his position in his office at Union depot, Baltimore,to give personal directions to this train @nd others on the road, should it be necessary for any cause to change the orde but so well arranged had been the details that the train run itself. It ig sage to say that so much care had never been taken as to the ran- ning ofa train inthis country. From the time it started to its arrival at Branch there was no Jar or jolt, and it with 80 little noise'that parties living within 100 yards of the tracks were unaware of its.approach until it came in sight.

GRANT INTERVIEWED. His Views on the Disability Question DARK DAY IN MASSACHUSETTS The President Surprises His Doctors. HE RAPIDLY RECUPERATES FROM THE EFFECTS OF HIS JOURNEY. Special Dispatch to Tue EveNrne Star. Lona Branca, N.J., Sept. 7.—The rapid recu- peration of the President from the fatigue of yesterday's journey has been so remarkable that even the physicians are surprised. Last night there was some alarm because of the high pulse and temperature. Dr. Bliss at midnight said he did not expect the President to rally much in- side of forty-eight hours, and a bad bulletin might be expected this morning. When the night bulletin was issued there was considerable anxiety, more especially among the Cabinet of- ficers,all of whom are here. The bulletin of this a. m. has reassured everybody. The President is 110 worse than when heleft Washington. He recovers from his long journey and is in no danger of ma- larial influence. He is now contented in mind. His room, which is a large one. gives him a fall view of the ocean. The weather here is in- tensely warm, a land breeze prevailing. With a change in the atmosphere, the doctors think, the results will be even more favorable. At noon to-day the patient's pulse was down to 102, and all other conditions were normal. The doctors are delighted. For the present the noon bulletin is to be intermitted. THE PRESIDENT'S NERVE AND HOPE. Col. Rockwell, who sat up all night with him, says the President slept well till about 4 a.m., when he was waked forbeef tea. He wanted to talk about many things. He asked after his boys, and after every member of the Cabinet. He said he felt greatly rested and thought he would more than recover to-day the ground he lost yesterday. He ate well and has taken his liquid nourisiiment by mouth at intervals to-day and relished it. Col. Rockwell says the nerve and hope of the patient are marvellous. Second Dispatch—1:20 p.m. LONG BRANCH PERSONALS AND GOSSIP. Col. Wm. A. Cook arrived here to-day to stay for a few days. Gen. Grant is not now at Long Branch. He left a message for Mrs. Garfield, expressing his deep sympathy for her, and the hope of the President's recovery. The gossip on the hotel piazza is that if the President pulls through it will be worth untold thousands to Long Branch, and give the place a tremendous boost as a sanitarium, and hence advance prop- erty. Tom Murphy, Hugh Hastings, Editor Me- Clure, and Pulitzer of St. Louis, are here. At noon to-day THE CABINET CALLED in a body upon the doctors. They were assured that the President's condition was better than it has been since the relapse of two weeks THE PRESIDENT SAID THIS MORNING he wished his room was a larger one. He is in a good sized room, but of course not so large as the one he occupied at the White House. It is the intention to keep the patient here all of Septem ber, if not longer. Third Dispatch—2:30 p.m. 101 IN THE SHADE AT THE ELBERON—THE PRESIDENT'S DAILY FEVER. The usual afternoon fever is just beginning to manifest itself, but the opinion of the doctors is that it will go down by evening.

Swaim in discussing the condition of the Pres- ident this morning, said that he had slept well all night; that his pulse was not more than 106, and that his temperature was but slightly above the normal.

September 7, 9 a.m. The President slept the greater part of the night, awakening, however, as often as it was necessary to give nourishment, which he took very well. The fever reported in last evening's bulletin had subsided by 11 p:m. This morning his temperature is normal, and he appears to have quite recovered from the fatigue of yester- day's journey. At the morning dressing the parotid abscess was found to be doing well. The ae pe of the wound look somewhat better. Pulse, 106; temperature, 98.4; respira- tion, 18. The next bulletin will be issued at 6 o'clock this evening. [Signed by the six surgeons.] THE SEA AIR INSPIRES STRONG HOPE. Long Brancn, Sept. 7—12:10 p. m..—The situ- ation regarding the President's condition con- tinues favorable and the attendi surgeons and Cabinet officers express themselves as en- tirely satisfied with the present outlook. The morning bulletin has had the effect of allaying all uneasiness on the part of those who were ex- tremely anxious last nicht, and it is confidently expected that the favorable symptoms will con- tinue. The fact of the President having -had sufficient recuperative power to rally from his depressed condition of last night is received as avery good indication that his recovery is only a question of time. Dr. Bliss thinks that the ocean air will henceforth have a decidedly brac- ing effect on the patient. Attorney General Mac- Veagh.wito lagt night was extremely despondent. is feeling in good spirits this morning and thinks that the change during the night was almost marvellous. See Brown entered his offiee early this morning with a phat | leasant smile on his countenance, and shows ry his general conduct that there had been a change for the better. It having been decided to issue official bulletins but twice per day is another good indi- cation, and tends to prove tnat the surgeons do not anticipate the occurrence of anything seri- ous. The weather to-day issaid tobe the hottest of the season; the therm@meter at this hour is nearly ‘90 in the shade, with a land breeze biow- ing. 1:15 P.M.—THE PRESIDENT paY.

Cnicaco, Sept 7.—Gen. Grant, in an interview with an Inter-Ocean reporter yesterday, said that after attending the soldiers reunion Bloom- ington, Ill., he would return east as fast as the cars would carry him, starting on Friday. Con- cerning the Mexican railway, he said all the sur- veys were completed, but the documents were not yet in New York, though they might be on their way thither. "The roads ‘and branches would be nine hundred miles long. He was greatly interested in seeing Mexico built up by American capital and enterprise, as it is now being’so built up. In the near future Me will be a very interesting place to visit. hered to his’ previously-expressed opinion the United States did not want to ani Mexico, | and were better off without that count: Speaking of the prospects of Garfield's recov- ery, he said he had not such strong hopes as he would like to have, but if he recovered it wonld be because of this removal. He had no doubt that a condition of affairs existed to-day which required the Vice President to act as President, but neither the constitution nor the U.S. stat- utes provided how disability should be declared, and it would be wholly inappropriate for the Vice President, unasked, to make amevetoward | requesting him to act as President during way for accomplishing the end. However, he said, there is no present necessity. The govern- apes can get along well enough till Congress meets. ——— To-Day’s Foreign News. ALGERIA A FRENCH DEPARTMENT. Lowpo: the Times says :—A batch of decrees gazetted on the recommendation of an extra parliamentary commission virtually converts Algeria into a French department. The various ininistries at Paris will have charge of the departments of pub- lic _works, education, finance, ete. The gover- hor general of Algeria, in lieu of being respon- sible solely to the minister of the interior at Paris, will be subject to each of the nine minis- ters as ds his peculiar functions. This seems designed to hasten M. Albert Grevy’s res- ignation of a governorship thus reduced to a sub-prefecture. The Algerian deputies vainly urged the postponement of the decrees, which | had been condemned before hand at the elections in Algeria. | THE GERMAN TRON-CLAD FLEET. Lowxpon, Sept. 7.—A Berlin dispatch to the Daily News says:—The German iron-ciad fleet has abruptly terminated the maneuvers off Eck- ernforde and sailed for Kiel, from whence it will go to Dantzic to salute the foreign monarchs. Most special dispatches agree in stating that the meeting of the emperors will take place on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern on Friday. THE OPPOSITION TO TROQTOIS.
