The entire route was kept clear of vehicles by policemen stational at every inter-secting street. A number of people remined up all night and by the time the President passed through the gates about 150 persons had assembled to witness the departure and to ob-tain a glimpse of the patient. When the Presidential party reached the depot perhaps 2,000 persons had gathered there. The crowd was very quiet and orderly and the transfer of the Presi-dent from the conveyance to the car was watched in silence and with ap-parent solitude as if some accident might occur.

The bed upon which he is lying is so carefully nojasted that the vibration is hardly noticeable. The train ran from Wash-ington to Baltimore at an average of thirty miles and hour.

His first question on awakening this morning was: " Is this the last day here!" gave evidence of the anxiety with which he awaited his removal. All day long he talked of going away and of his trip, and in consequence of the excitement there was a recurrence of feverish symp-toms. When the bulletins were first posted, before it was known to what exciting cause the increased fever was done, there was a revival of apprehen-sions among these who read then, and all sorts of wild reports were in circulation. Amon other rumors was one that the President was grow-ing weaker hoads, and another that the doctors had abondoned the con templated trip to Long Branch. These rumors were fortunately found with out any foundation. Philadelphia, Sept, 6- The Presi dent continues to do well.

Dr. Hamil-ton this morning said he believed the removed would be beneficial because of the change of scene from the malaria climate of Washington and of the effect on the President of his wish being complied with. He thought he would mend at once. The press is complaining of the very inadequate telegraph facilities, the nearest office to the President's cottage being a mile. A land breeze is blowing and it is quite sultry. Long Branch, Sept. 6. -- Jesse Grant has offered the use of his cottage, which is just across the way from where the President will be, for the use of the President's family. Chicago, Sept 6-- The cause of the failure to hear anything more from Long Branch is said to be that an engine, which got loose, knocked all the wires down. they are now busy repairing them. All the wires are raibrond property. Philadelphia, Sept6. -- General Su-perintendent Kinney, of the Philadel-phia Wilmington & Baltimore division of the Pennsylvania Railroad was on the President's train. He says it is true that his pulse fell ten boasts be-fore reaching Baltimore. the Presi-dent seemed cheerful and when asked if he would like to travel faster, re-plied: " Yes I rather like it" Kinney says he seemed to be in very good spirits, and was not under the effect of any opiates. He was as natural as could be, and occasionally chatted with the doctors. Kinney was sur-prised to see the number of people who turned out, particularly in the country places, to witness the passage of the train, and even at prominent places, where the crowd of people raised their hats with deference, and all seemed affected by the gravity of the situation. Chester, Pa. Sept 6. - While the lo-comotive of the Presidential train was receiving coal at Lamokin, Dr. Agnew told Dr. Milner of this city that the President had improved since he left Washinton and was getting along comfortably. The doctors on the train were plased with the pro-gress the train was making. The car was quite fast from jolt or jar and they had high hopes of reaching Long Branch with no bad results. The President had suffered very little fatigue and Agnew seemed in excel-lent spirits. Long Branch, Sept 7.-- After the issuance of the evening bulleting sever-al attending surgeons left Brooklyn Cottage for dinner. Dr. Hamilton stated the exceedingly hot day was somewhat favorable to the progress of the President. well, as to his discomfort? the evening bulletin was a concise and correct statement of the situation to- night. He had an exceedingly favorable outlook. Dr. Bliss said to- night the President is latter in more than one respect. Has there been any marked change? was asked. I do not pretend to say there has yet. When do you expect a marked change for the better. Oh, in the course of a few days, Have your any reason for expecting such good results. Indenttions are favorable; the wound and gland are both doing well, and the only troublesome feature is the extreme weakness of the President. This extreme hot whether is no better for him trun for you and me. When we get a sea breeze, I expect a more favorable change. The patient is comfortable to- night. There are no unfavorable symptoms now whatever. Long Branch, Sept, 7-- To- day was the warmest ever experienced at Long Branch. The thermometer ranged between 91 to 100. The little land breeze from the south was ressly bareable. Every one suffered extreme-ly and remained as quiet as possible in shady pleas. In the immediate vicinity of the President's cottage, everything was quit, with the view of preserving perfect quiet. All per-sons were prevented going beyond a given point, some distance from the cottage. Attendants and others with the Presidential party, excepting Mrs. Garfield. Miss Mollie and Mr. and Mrs. Rockwell take their meals at the Elherton Hotel. General Swain said this afternoon that the President is getting on finely and is undoubtedly better now than this morning. The gland was dressed at noon and is growing better all the time. I think this air will benefit the President after we get a sea breeze. The Presi-dent himself says he notices the air is pure, a nd enjoys the aroma scene very much. The President rallying so soon from the fatigue of yesterday's trip is a very favorable indication. It shows that there is considerable of Garfield left there yet. The expected good result from the change will be-gin to develop, I should judge, in a day or two. Mrs. Garfield is rested, and feels quite well again. Dr. Boyton says he thinks the President is doing admirably. The reporter asked If the President made any remarks that would indicate that he feels any benefit from the change of air!" Boynton answered: " He did so to-day. Warren Young, of private seere-tary Thow's office, came into the room with some mail matter. Seeing him the President held out his hand, with the remark, " Warren, don't you think I look better to- day?" Mr. Young re-sponded in the afirmative, and the President then added, with emphasis, ' and I feel better; this is good air." How long should it be, doctor, be-fore the patient should commence to gain some strength, providing the con gress with him. From forty fife to sixty hours.
