The gland is still improving, | and Dr. Bliss says the wound looks | far better than it has dono at_any He says too that everything in the caso this afternoon is favorable and there is now room for the strongest hopes, Loz Braxcn, N. J., September 8.— With the exception of afew hours in the forenoon the weather here to- day has been all that eould be desired and the effects upon the president's | condition has been accordingly en- couraging. The earliest reports from the sick room told of a restiess period | before midnight, followed, however, by several hours of quietness, and the president’s appearance when he rst seen by Dr, Bliss after dayli was as if he had been refreshed his sleep. The pulse was rath frequent at the morning exami ion to ulford much ground for encourage- ment, especially as the temperature wasa few points above the normal standard, ‘The two physicians (Drs. Hamilton, Bliss) were apparently well satisfied with the patients condition, and all anxiously waited the expected change in the weather, on which so much seemed o depend, The sun rose through a haze that hung heavily over the ocean, and early risers predicted another day of intense heat. 8o, indeed, it was up to noon. The grst callers at Elberon found the surroundings very quiet. Prominent among those on the piazza was Dr, Reyburn, the only one of the withdrawn physicians who remained theveall night. Inanswer to inquirics he said that the president scemed to have more appetite to-day and evi- dently felt a desire to eat more than he reully needed. Dr. Bliss and Secretary Brown came over to breakfagt, arm in arm, both in excellent spirits. Dr. Isliss’ reply to the usual question was: “Kirst rate. He is in better shape than for a week.” Dr. Bliss ina hurry to get to his breakfast ould gay nomore, but his man ner, which has always been good, showed that he was very well satis fied with the case, From Secretary { Brown it was learned that the bul tin was Jate becauso the physic had not cured to disturb the pre: dent while he was asleep, and he did not awake until after 9 o'clock. now us | toms lave appeared?” | he felt ino: | hac AR CHANGING, Aunother of the White ployes arrived to-day t conduct of the os Francklyn cottaze, The be ed to the north befors noon- bat not got much wd vory fow ox- | peoted to hear better news from (he president at noon At 1 o'clock Drs. Hamilton and Bliss came over from thy Elberon to the cottage and chatted with friends on the pinza. Dr. Blias looked as happy as could be and ‘made all those near him fully as happy by informing them that tho president’s pulse had fallen to 94; temperature was normal and the case showed general improve- ment. Dr. Hamilton said to one who cast a glance in his direction, ““That is good news, is it not? And it is as true as it is good.” A party of ladies stepped up to Dr. Bliss and asked, ‘‘Do you feel hopeful?” “Very much 80.” *“‘Oh, I'm s0 glad to hear it,” said the lady.” BLISS QUESTIONRD, “So the climate has begun to act, has it, doctor?” “Yes, I think it has. What breeze we have is from the north now, and we are promised a sea breeze a little later.” “‘That wae a pretty zood drop of the pulse, from 104 to 94.” ““Yes, indeed, and his general con- diticn warrants it."” “What does that mean?” “Nothing more nor less than con- valescence.

Attorney-General MacVeagh said encouraged now the ever befo He should ovder the spe- cial train a - The air was what had been needed, and now it secmed to be at hand. § During the atternoon the wind shifted turther around, and a de lightful sea breeze was welcomed alike by the president and his friends. The favordble condition tained during the afternoon, and the best of feeling prevailed all around, The cvening bulletin proved satis- factory as was generally expected. As the expected change from hot to cold weather had come people would have been disappointed if the morn- ing improvement had not beon main- taned, Everyone at the president's cottage agreed thero had been an iu- provement during the day, although not all the surroundings had been suf- ficient to support very strong hope.
