Loxe Branch, September 12.—Dr. Agnew, immediately after the morn- ing dressing, spoke freely and cheer- fully about the president’s condition, this morning, regarding it as favor- able. He said: ‘“The president is much better this morning than he was last night. He has slept better than for some time, and rested very well indeed. The affection of the lung is less troublesome than it has been since he was in Washington. His temper- ature has fallen, as has also his pulse and respiration, and the condition is much improved.” Attorney General MacVeagh was cheerful, and spoke strongly. He said: *‘I have seen Dr. Agnew and Dr. Bliss, and both tell me that the president passed the night in comfort, and sound and HEALTHY SLEEP, He awakened less frequently, and when he did awaken seemed refreshed and stronger. At no time did he re- main awake longer than was neces- sary for him to take refreshments. His condition this morning is better than it was yesterday, and better than on Saturday. This every way im- roved; he is bright and cheerful, and Ene an appetite, and ate a good break- fast. I am assured that the long af- fection is much better less serious and gradually passing away. From what attending surgeons tell me I believe we are warranted in taking a more cheerful and hopeful iew of tne case, - COL. ROCKWELL watched with the president the first part of the night and says to-day the president is a great deal better and slept soundly, awakening as unfre- quent intervals. The lung trouble has been misunderstood, and is not as . 8erious as represented, but temporary \and passing away better now than when patient was removed from Washington. This trouble is purely local and not spreading nor necessari- ly serious. No Indication that lung trouble arises from pus cavity or from blood powoning but may be due to bad condition of the blood, but not pyamia, He suffers no pain from it, and coughed less last night. He has passed safely over yestorday’s depres- sion, General Swaim, who suceeeded Col. Rockwell at the bedside, says sub- stantially the same as Col. Rockwell, and that the president took nourish ment and relished it; that yestercay’s depression was merely one of ex- pected developments. The case is better now than before it, This morning he is bright, cheerful and alert and hungry. ‘The breakfast con- sisted of turtle soup, porridge, milk, toast and tea. The bulletin this morn- ing produced A GOOD IMPRESSION on the public and renewed hopes. Early this morning it was yery dark and gloomy, but towards 9 a. m. the sun came out and the day is now bright and pleasant. Ex-Collector Murphy, in behalf of Gen. Grant and himself, was one of the first visitors at Secretary Brown’s office this mornin., Dr, Hliss suy o president is much better to-day, and strouger, ture normal for him, and respiration down again to 18, The lung trouble is under control. It is not an ab- it is nothing more than local the worst. It culminated last night and then came to a head, and is now | not troublesome, and impr: ng, Jt| es the president no pain and it is | her a source of discomfort nor anxiety. BEFORE BREAKFAST the president easily removed from his throat, by raising a hacking cough, familiar ~ to persons suflering from a loosening cold, the purulent mucus matter which had accumulated during the night. This phlequem was accumulated readily without nausea, and thrown off with- out strain or annoyance, His ability to do this is attributed entirely to an increase in strength, and his mastery of this trouble, especially in a semi-reclining position, is most remarked phlequem. It is also present ip smaller quantites than for some time past, and only troublos him at intervals of two or three hours during waking hours. Last night, from 10; until 9 o'clock this morning, he neither coughed nor spit, Loxg Braxow, ember 12,- Postmaster General James, according | to appointment, called on the presi dent at 9:45, The president was awake and alert He r snized the pbstiaster general the moment hie entered and said in a good, round yoice: “How are you, Mr, James " “Vory well, I thank you,” replied the cabinet officer, “and I am very VENTH YEAR. ar inflamation, and has passed | | THE OMAHA DAlLY BEE. glad to see you looking 8o well, Mr. President.” The president smiled with an ex- pression of great satisfaction. Mr. James then approached the bedside. The president easily raised his arm clean from the bed, and shook hands with a long and hearty grasp, which James describes as warm and aston- ishingly strong. So steady and pow- erful was the president’'s grip that Postmaster James says he was amazed. The President—‘Take a chair and sit down here. I wish to talk with ou,” Gen. James—‘‘Oh, no, Mr. Presi- dent, thank you; I would prefer to stand, and as 1 cannot really remain any length of time. T will not sit down as I fear I should find myself ielding to the temptation to remain yond my _train time, which is at hand.” The President—*Well, Mr. Post- master General, how have the affairs in your department been going on ?” Postmaster General—*“Yery well indeed. The attorney general and myself have established a regular sys- tem of civil service which is doing well, and everything is moving along smoothly. We have mado' no ap- pointments or removals,” ‘“"Tis well,” said the president, smiling with pleasure; ‘‘and how much have you saved the country 1" Postmaster General—*‘Thus farthere has been saved in the postal depart- ment about §1,500,000, and the sys- tem and economy through which this has been accomplished is established now.” President—‘‘Is it on a permanent basis, and will saving go on?’ andthe president elevated his eyes and look- ed the cabinet official full in the face. Postmastet-General — *‘ Yes, Mr. President, tho system is establishod. It will last and will continue to oper- ate in the future as well as thus far.” ‘ I am very glad to hear you say so. It is well, indeed, Mr James,” "and then withdrew. He had been re- quested by the surgeons to refrain from allowing conyersation with the president to turn much on the depart- ment talk, and not allow it to go so far as to unduly excite the president’s mind.

The president has experienced since the issue of the morning bulletin a further amelioration of the symptoms. He has been able to take an ample amount of food without discomfort and has had several refreshing naps. At the noon examination the temper- ature was 99 5-10, pulse 106, respira- tion 20. At 5:30 the temperature was 98 6-10, pulse 100, resperation 18, (Signed) D. W. Buiss, D. H. AcNEw, DR. AGNEW came out of Franklyn Cottage imme- duately after tho issuance of the eve ing bulleting, and his demeanor was unusually cheerful. He said: *“The president’s condition is very much more favorable. 1 can say no more | than that, no matter how much I talk.” Dr. Agne s informed Dr. Bliss that the president’s condition is such that he deems it un- necessary to remain with the patient until the return of Dr. Hamilton to-morrow evening. He said he felt justified in going to Phil- adelphia on the firsc train Tuesday morning, and did not think it neces- sary to even delay his departure until the morning dressing. He would, therefore, go away on the very earliest train, as Dr, Hamilton will not reach Elberon until to-morrow evening the president will be practically left over twelve hours under the care of but one attending physician, This is a striking feature of the president's case to-day, and it is admitted that the present is THE ONLY PERIOD hot that his ws to warrant from the that since the president condition been su; such a peculiar departure established custom. The fac Dr Agnew has concluded tc has ayowed the above reasor 0, at the present time, i nted on as fi torney General MacVeagl member of tl wbinet he 2 to-nght. Al the w have gone to Now York, MacVeagh will, if no unfavorable change 1 the president’s condition, probably join the eabinet party in New York to-morrow and go with them to the White mountains, Dr. Bliss was asked to-night by a reporter of the National Associated Press if the de- parture of cabinet officials had been decided upon as the result of an formal conference on the president’s condition with the attending surgeons, He replied, slowly : “No, I wouldn't like to state it just that way, because they were satistied thatthe president’s condition at present was such as to allow them to go away for a brief vacation. They feel assured from what they know of the actual state of allairs that the prospect was fayorable, enough to tify a brief absence, | Last night and to-day are admitted | by Drs. Agne Bliss and Boynton, Col, R 1, Swaim, and Pri vate Becry Brown to have been the best period of rest, refreshment and actual gain the president has had since July 2d. To-night he is rost quietly and tho sur- geons say Lie is perceptibly improvin He enjoys occasional naps aud pro. found sleop. His sleep, of late, has greatly changed in character, The restlessness and wakefulness which until his removal, and for two or three days after that marred his sleep, has entirely disappeared, and when he closes his eyes now he falls into a deep ‘ranquil sleep. THE PAROTID SWELLING has almost entirely disappeared, with all its attending symptoms. Hardly any perceptible pus now comes from that affection. All the incisions but the latest made have actually healed, and the last has so far healed that it will be closed up naturally. The attending physicians believe that by Wednesday morning every trace of the parotid troublo will have en- tirely disappeared. The wound is healing now with very perceptible rapidity,granulation being strong and healthy. From the point of the entry of the bullet to its present location is a distance of about nineteen inches, The last incision made in- teroepted the channel made by the ball at a point six inches from the mouth nfp:ha wound. The most reliable and pliable catheter in the possession of the surgeons was this afternoon curefully inserted and used for the purpose of definitely as- certaining if the ball was fully encys- ted. Examination was PROTRACTED AND THOROUGK. Dr. Bliss told a reporter that at this examination the cath- eter could not be inserted beyend nine inches, at which distance it met a solid obstruction of completed gran- ilation. That is, the wound is to-night healed up solidly for three and one- half incfien from the furthest point the catheler easily reached some time ago. The solid growth from the ball outward is three and one-half inches. There is one and one-half inches in the healing gmm in the path of the bullet wound since Saturday morning, a remarkable gain and the atest made in the entire illness of the pres- ident, and oneindication ot the recent P made by the patient. The channel of the wound for the entire distance of the nine inches is still open, is GRANULATING HEALTHFULLY, and is perfectly lubricated by a natu- ral flow of pus i the proper quan- tity. The rib tnat wasshattered by the bullet has been carefully watched. The shattered bone could ~ be plainly seen and studied as long as it re- mained bare, through the last incis- ion, To-day’s examination showed that the other rib at that point is now covered by a healthy and i granulation. of full half an inch in depth. The exact quantity of stimulants adminis- tered to the president, after PERSISTENT INQUIRY, has been admitted by Dr. Bliss to reporter. Every four hours the presi- dent is given, by a suppority procass, what is equivalent to two grains of quinine. Up to this reading there brandy punch, made with milk, three teaspoonfulls of the oldest and finest brandy obtainable. Every three hours ~hereafter the same quantity in the same form will be given every few hours. This form of stimulant is relished greatly by tke president and has a good effect upon him. Dr. Bliss to-night gave the fol- lowing as the latest explanation of the LUNG AFFECTION: ‘‘The mucupulent matter which the president has been lately ejecting was due to bronchial affection entirely. That affection advanced downward until it got below the pharynx, and the purulent matter was raised thence. No pus of any kind has been is- sued since av ail. In these expecto- rations the president has thrown off with the mucupulonce some pus, but only what got into the mouth from the parotid; all else was not pus. If there was a pus cavity on the lungs or an abscess what would come from ic would cer- tainly be pus. It could be noth- ing else; but no pus has come up from that direction. When we left Washington wo came prepared to treat the lung affection for what- ever it should prove to be,” REPORT TO LOWELL. Thefollowing was cabled at 10 p. m. : LoweLr, Mlnister, London: In the absence of Mr. Blaine, the attending physicians have requested me to in- form you of the president’s condition. He has during the day eaten sufficient food with relish, and enjoyed, at in- tervals, restingsleep. His wound and the incisions made by the surgeons all look better. The parotid gland hus ceased suppuration and may be congid- od us substantially well. Ho has exhibited more than his usual cheer- fulness of spirit His temperature and respiration now normal his pulse is less frequent and fieme than at the same tune lust evening Notwithstanding those favorable sym; toms, the condition of the lower part of the right lung will continue to be sourco of anxiety for some dayy to come, (Signed) MacVeaGn, e Ocean News.

National Assoclated Press, Wasninotox, September 12.—No demand has been made upon the mil- itary authorities for Surgeant Mason, the soldier who attempted last night to shoot Guiteau, and who is still con- fined at the arsenal. DISTRICT-ATTORNEY CORKHILL satd this afternoon that he had re- ceived no ofticial knowledge ot the af- fair, and did not intend to take any action until such information was given him. On the other hand, the war department offi- cials say they have nothing whatever to do with the matter, and if Col, Corkhill makes requisition for the man he can get him without any opposition from the war department. The attempted shooting has of course been the talk of the city to-day, and naturally all sympathy 1s on the side of the soldier. At the White House some of tho employes regretted Ma- son's failure, but the rest were more guarded in their expressions. This afternoon Guiteau was placed ina new cell, the location of which is a a profound secret. At the time he was fired at he was lying down, and the ball passed directly overhis shoul- der The picture which the ball struck m the pocket of his coat, hunging on the wall, was a photograph of him- self, He had passed anight of terror. He did not occupy his bed the whole night, but lay in an outstretched posi tion on the floor and at times was very flighty. He frequently cried out for the Lord to have merey upon him. At one time he was heard calling on God to saye him. Asone of the guards was passing his cell door about daylight ~ this morning he heard him say: “Oh God! why did I shoot the poor president? Be merciful to me, a poor, miserable as- sassin—the assassin of the president of a great country. I could not help seized* me uiid’ X compelled to fire the fatal shot. O) Lord, if I was only out of my m TakeZme, now, O Lord; fake me, now.” During this prayer he wept bitterly. The questi.n has been raised here whether Guiteau can be tried for murder should the president die at Elberon. Inalegal aspect the case pre- sented would be simply that of a per- son who has received a mortal wound in the District of Columbia, from the effect of which his death had taken placo elsewhere, and under these circumstances the court of the district would not have jurisdiction of the offnse as homicide, but would be homicide to the consideration of tho assault merely with disposition, which, as held by strong legal author- i and by the common law of the Dis- trict of Columbia, scems to preclude the conviction of Guiteau for murder, now that the president has been re moved to Long Branch, Judson M.
