The informant says hts reply was “he could not leave the death-bed of one man for that of another.” This would seem to inil- cate tbat the private opinion of the President's physician 1s that he canno* live. Secretary Blaine sent the following dispatch to Vice President Arthur: At this hour—halt-past three—symptoms are still unfavorable. Anxlety deepens. A Little Improvement. At 340 the President's symptoms were a little more favorable. His pulse had gone down | tolls. He was dozing, ana in no pain, having been put under the influence of morphiae.

There had been a reaction from bis favorable symptoms of a half hour before. His pulse had run up from 114 to 132 One of the consulting physicians was asked bya Star reporter if there was any chance for recovery. The reply was: “There 1s nothing at all favorable in his condition.” “Has be one chance in a hundrei?” asked the reporter. “Not more than one in a hundred,” was the reply. 3:45 P, M.—The following are tho phystclans who were in donsultation: Surgeon General Barnes and Dre, Huntington and Woodward of the army; Surgecn General Wales, of the navy; Drs.

Among the telegrams of condolence and sympathy received at the White House to day Were messages from H. £. Knox, John I. Dav- enport, of New York, Jos. Atkigs, of Georgia: W. H. Smith, Chicago, and C. W: Moulton, Ohto, Representative Kaseon telegraphs as follows: “I thank God you are saved.” Governor Col- quitt, of Georgia, telegraphs as follows: “In the name of the people of Georgia express my sympathy for your suffering and my deep- est reprobation for the crime of your attempted assassination. On behalf of all true Christians Ipray that you may be speedily returned to bealth.” ©. H. Grosvenor telegrayhs from Athens, Ohio: "I pray God report exaggerated. The yeople in breathless horror, and pray for your life.” From Jesse Seligman, New York: “I congratulate you upon your narrow escape, Let us be thankful to God for having spared you.” From Gen. N. A. Miles: “Thank God, your life was spared.” From Mayor English, of Atlanta, Ga.: “The people of Atlanta, irrespec- Uve of party, tender to you their loving sym- pathy, and pray for your speedy recovery.” Business Virtually Suspended in the Government Offices, The sidewalk in front of the White House has been crowded since 10:30 by an anxtous | gatheiing. All classes of people, of both sexes, were there. The gates were kept closed ana guarded, only a few, including the representa- tlves of the press, being allowed tn. Every person coming from the house was seized upon and asked for information. The demoraii- zation in the departments was very great all day. No work was done. The departments were practically closed a3 far a3 work was concerned. The employes gathered in knots and talked it over. The Treasury windows, looking to the White House, were filled all the day. Things quieted down somewhat in the afternoon, but the recovery from the wide- gpread consternation was very slow. ANOTHER ACCOUNT SHOOTING. Graphic Account by an Eye Wit- OF THE mess. [A gentleman of this city who was going north by the limited Express this morning and who saw tke affair sends back by telegraph, from Baltimore, the following concise and graphic account of the shooting of President Garfleld:) BALTrMorg, July 2, 1331, I was just behind the President when he en- tered the B street entrance of the rallway sta- ton.” The President stepped up the steps alone Outside on the pavement. There seemed to ba No one there but the policeman. My wife, who was with me, remarked, ‘How well the Presl- dent is looking.” He was by this time two feet Insiée the door. I should say he was about to raise his hat to return a bow, when two shots were fired from theleft hand side of the door. At the first shot the President turned and reeled a littie, and when the second shot was fired he fellon his back. The fall and the flash fairly dazed the people in the waiting room. The man who fired the shot stepped up and sald: “It is all right.” The women screamed, put their hands to their faces and ran. By this tme the people present realized the cause. Some supposed {t was merely an explosion of firecrackers; but on seeing the President lay there the wildest excitement prevailed, and tbe officer ran in and selzed the assas3in. By this {ime the entrance was blocked on B street, and Thad to take my family away. Mr. A. G. Lathrop, of Washington, says the assassin had some papers in his hand and took deliberate aim, when he fired. Don Senor Simon Camacho, charge-d'-affatres of the Venezuelan legation in Washington, was in the room, and attempted to seize the asaas- sin, but the latter made a demonstration as if he would shoot bim,and Mr. Camacho desisted. @xo. W. ADAMS. Statement of George T. Walters—The Presidenvs Request to have Mrs. Garfield Sent Fo: George T. Walters, a colored man, sald he was taking trunks into the depot for alady and gentleman. He keard the shots and ran to- wards the ladies’ room. When near the door he met a man who held a pistol in a threaten- ing manner. Says Walters: dodzod, think- ing at first the man was going toshoot ma. Then I saw Mr. Parke catch hold of the man, He caught him by both shoulders, so, (illus- trating). Mr. Parke jumped through the win- dow aud caught the man. Then I helped carry the President up stairs. He didn’t say a word till we got him up stairs; then he told me to take off his shoes, saying his feet pained him bad. ly. The doctors had got nere by that time, and soon as I pulledoff the Prealdent’s shoes they got some bottles and put something on his feet ‘Then somebody asked him now he felt, and he said, 1 feel easier now.

The President did “asin after the first shot, but continued on ie wov he hid started.” Another Interview with Officer Kearney. Officer Kearney, of the depot, said to a Stan reporter, “'I believe I was the first to lay hands cn the man. I was outside on the sidewalk when I herrd the shots. I didn’t know what they meant, bu’ | : .n right into the butidiog. 48 J got to the dc or of the ladies’ room, openin; cn B street, a mea was pa:sing out.

When I pushed him in, Parke and others said, ‘That’s vhe map; yoo’ve got him.’ I held bim tight, aud Scott came up and we took him to police headquarters.’ Star.—Did he say anything to you? Kearney.—‘Yes, he did. He satd—hold on, I've got what he said written here on a plece of paper.” (Here Kearney produced a small pes of paper, on which was written the fol- lowing: “I did it, and will go to jal. .or it. I am a stalwart, and Arthur will be President.” Kearney continulng—‘'That's just what he sald. Yes, he said it voluntarily, without any questions being asked.” Star.—“It’s denied that he sald that.” Kearney (omphatioally.)—'Well, he did; and I can prove it." Zé said just those words, and iWroie them down, so I would remember them. He had a letter in his hand and gatd it was for Gen. Sherman.” Star.—“Did he say anything else?” “He sald the letter was for Gen. Sherman, ard asked me to take itto him. I, of course. reluscd to have anything to do with his letter. He wanted to take it himself, he said, as it Was very important. He sald: ‘In time this Will be ell right. It’s time enough yet.’ He Seemed to be as rational as any man; he talked rational enough. He had @ fine pistol, ivory handle and large calfore. Ididn’t hear any- body call cut to guard the windows when the shots were fired. I jost caught the first man Teaw trying to get away. He had a carriage outside ready to take him away.” WHO FIRST SEIZED GUITEAC. In the excitement of the moment no doub Kerney thought he was the first to seize the as- Sassin, but in fact Mr. Parke was the first to jay bends on him. Kearney came instantly end Parke permitted Kearney and Scott to take charge cf the pilsoner, WHAT MR, JANOWIIZ SAW. Mr. Janowitz, one of the depot officers, sald he heard the shots, and upon reaching the spot saw Mrs. White and Secretary Blaine attend. ing to the President, whose head was resting 01 8. White’s Jap. He saw the prisoner 1a gnerge Of tke Officers, and he looked badly scares What Dr, Townshend Says. Dr. Townshend, health officer of the District, in conversation this afternoon said: “I found the President when I arrived at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, about five minutes after the shooting occurred, in a vomiting and faint- ing condition. Ihad his head lowered, which had been elevated by the attendant, and ad- Ministered aromatic spirits of ammonia and brandy to revive him. This had the desired eflect and the President, regaining conscious- less, Was asked where he felt the most pain. He replied in the right leg and foot. He then examined the wound, introducing bis fingers, which caused a slight hemorrhage. I then de- cided to have him moved up stairs from the crowd. Shortly after getting him there, Drs, Smith and Purvis arrived, and upon consulta- Mon with them it was decided to remove him to the White House. Dr, Smith and myself ac- Companied the President in the ambulance to the White House, where another examination Was nado and stimulants again administered, An ineffectual attempt was made to trace the course of the wound, and at 12:20, the Presi- dent suffering much pain, a hyperdermic in- jection of morphine was administerei.” Dr, Townshend left the President shorily after- ward somewhat revived. The doctor said at2 p.m. that he could not give an intelligent Opin- fon as yet, but pronounced the wound as dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. The Vice President Notified. Tne following dispatch was telegraphed this afternoon : WASHINGTON, July 2, Hon. C. A. ARTHUR, Vice President, New York At this hour (1 p.m.) the President’s symp- toms are not regarded as unfavorable, but no definite assurance can be given until after the Probing of the wound at 3 o'clock. There are strong grounds for hope and at the same the gravest anxiety as to the final res 3, (Signed) JaMEs G, BLAINE, Secretary of State. Legal Inquisition in Progress. THE PRISONER REPORTED TO HAVE HAD AN AC- COMPLICE. An inquisition was convened in the office of the District attorney within half an hour after the shooting at the depot. Every one about the depot who was supposed to know anything about the affair was hurried by the police at once to the District attorney's office, and a secret examination has been in progress all day, Judge Wylle, Col. Corkhiil, Mr. Perry and some detective officers being present. Col. Cook wes present part of the time. Tne report that there was another man with Gatteau at the time of the shooting was confirmed by one or two witnesses. The detectives do not give much credence tothe report, but are working it up with such clews as they have. Detectives McDevitt and Voss ascertained that Guiteau had stopped at the Riggs House last ni-at, and going there they found that he had lef: a box of cartridges of a calibre to suit the bul.-dog, and a pack of visiting cards and a coat, Guiteau at the Jail. Thercene at the jail when the pr’soner ar- rived there was very quiet. The van, in charge of Lieut. Eckloff, Detective McEltreah and Officer Lewis, arrived at half past 10 o'clock. Gutteau, who appeared to be in excellent spirits, walked in with the officers, Gen. Crocker, the warden, is absent in New York, but Deputy Russ, who was in charge, received the party. The pris- oner wes taken into the waiting room, where be was searched by the jall guards and his shoes taken from him. He said nothing to the officers, except “Gen. Sherman will be down £00.” He was taken to a cell in the south wing. The proceeding was over so quick that no one in the neighborhood of the jail, except the cfficers, knew that the man was there. The crowd that had followed the van a short dis- tance from the police headquarters was unable to keep pace with it. So the coming of tne prisoner Was unheralded, FEARS OF LYNCHING, ‘When reporters arrived at the jail door soon afterwards the guards stoutly denied that the man had been brought there. They feared that some demonstration would be made against the jail if the man’s there was known. Deputy Russ, who spent some time in trying to convince a Sraz reporter that the man was Lot there, was finally forced to yield the point. “I can’t let you see him,” said the deputy. “I can’t even tell you where he 1s. Orders were ‘sent to Gen. Coocker from the Attorney Genera! not to let anyone see him or speak to him, under any circumstances.” A STRANGE STORY BY DEPUTY RUSS. “There is something strange about this,” gaid the deputy. “I knew the man as soon as ‘he Crossed the threshold of the jail I cannot got bis shoes biackened right here at the de- pot.” recollect the date, but. saw bim.gome two or weeks ago.

He wore a white hat, with a broad brim drawn down over his eyes, and that made him look peculiar. I took him forabad man. I didn’t ilke his appearance, and would not let him in. I told him that it Was not a visitor’s day. Two of our officers also saw him here two or three weeks ago. He wanted to go through the jall. He went into the rotunda, looked at the scaffold, and went out. I THINK HE IS A COMMUNIST.” Arrangements were being made at the Jjall this afternoon to have the institution well guardcd. GITEAU'S LETTER TO GEN. SHERMAN, Just as soon as Kearney caught Giteau by the aims, the latter sald, “Hold up. I want yeu to { send this paper to Gen. Sherman at once.” This Jetter was dropped and afterwards picked up and banded to Capt. Vernon, who took it to Col. Corkhill’s office, and it was sent to Gen. Sherman. Itstated that he (Giteau) had jast shot the President; that 1 was a political ne- cessity that prompted the act. The pistol was not taken from Giteau until he got to beacquarters. Lieut. E2kloff took it 116m bim. Two chambers were empty and Uree had loa‘s inthem. The prisoner told McElresh that he nad been sitting in Lafayette square for several weeks watching the Pres!- Gent's house. It was rumored thts afternoon that the Washington Light Infantry have been ordered out to keep guard over the jatl, Precautions Against Lynching. Gen. Sherman, who was at thé Baltimore and Potomac depot when the act was commit- ted, sent a telephonic dispatch to Gen. Ayres, at the Arsenal, to send a guard of soldiers to the jail and another to the President's House. This order was carried out at onca. The Major of Police has ordered detatla ot police at both these places. Fears are ex- Pressed that 8 mob will demand Giteau for im- mediate and tummary punishment, sane or ia sane, . Gen. Ayres has been directed by the Secre- tary cf War to place a company of soldiers at Major Brock’s disposal, aud they witl be sent t2 guard the jail. Major Brock sent a guard of twenty-five mounted men there this afternoon to remain untilrelieved. If there 1s any con- epiracy it 1s thought that thts will frustrate any attempts at ¢scap2 or rescue. All who have come in contact with the assassin agree that, judging from his looks and actions, he ic more of a knaye than fool or lunatic. In less than an hour afver the order of Col, Webster was tssued Co, 4 had ninety men iu uniform at their armory. Services of the District Militia Ac- cepted, The District Commissioners, through Adja- tant General Webster, have tendered to the general of the army the services of the District trcopr, which have been accepted. Gen. Sher- man, Gen. Ayres and Adjutant General Webater bad a consultation at the War department this P.m., and concluded to arrange for a signal through the fire alarm, which will be a call for all the District troops to assemble at their armortes, and remain until further orders. The signal arranged upon will be promulgated through the press as soon as a conference can be had with the chief engineer of the fire de- partment, through Fire Commissioner Collins, MAJOR WEBSTER'S ORDER, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, } WASHINGTON, July 2d, 1881. {Cirewlar.|—Pursuant to orders from the Commanding General of the Army of the United States, the various military organiza- tons of the District of Columbia will be pre- pared to dssemble at their respective armories upon a signal of six strokes, to be repeated three times, from the fire alarm, and will hola themselves in readiness for such instructions as the occasion may demand. By order of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, Amos, WEBSTER, Adjutant General, THE SIGNAL AGREED UPON by the War department police and fire depart- ments Is that six etrokes,threectimes in succes: sion, is for the turning out of the military and Js Lot a fire alarm. Commissioner Dent to the Police. Commissioner Dent issued the following to Major Brock this afterncon: “Major: The serious condition of affairs growing out of the criminal assault on the life of the President induces the Commissioners to urge on you and the force under your com Mand the importance of great circumspection Vigilance and energy In msintatning order and juict and 1n suppressing ali notsy and unseemly lemonstrations, especially on the 34 and 4th instants, when ordinarily the patriotic fervor of the people is allowed free expression, but which should now be chastened by the anxlety which 1s felt by every good citizen.” Guiteau Formerly a Member of the % Oneida Community. Guitean was born in Freeport, I1L, and is the second gon of the late L. W. Guiteau,who, from 1864 to his death, was the cashier of the Second National Bank in that city. He is now about 42 yearsof age. When about 12 years of age his father embraced the doctrine of perfection as taught by the Onelda community, and with his wife end son joined that community in New York. The father, however, returned after a short absenc?, leaving the boy in the commu- nity, but after an absence pf about four years the boy returned and was sent by his father to Chicago to study law, and graduating there, being an excellent speaker, he soon commenced to rise in his profession. A SECOND ADVENTIST. Finally he mixed his religious notions with his practice, and the latter fell off, and thea taking up the Second Advent belief he com- menced to lecture on the subject and to pud- lish bcoks thereon. Finally he left the country and travelled in Europa, being assisted, it is believed, by his father. He has an older brother in Boston—J. Wilson Guiteau—and a younger brother succeeded the father In the bank in Freeport. About two years ago he was in the city and lectured at Lincoln Hall on his favorite subject, the second coming of the Messiah, but hada small audience. Hia friends in Illinois have regarded him as a monomaniac for years, but harmless, Dut the opinion 1a advanced that the death of his father caused him to get be- bind hand in bis pecuniary affairs, and finally the homicida}) mania was formed on his mind. Guiteau as an Office Seeker. Mr, Brown, chief clerk of the State depart- ment, knows Guiteau well by his frequent visits tothe department. He says that he never re- garded him asa man of sound mind, neither did he think he was what would be called a crezy map. He was most persistent in his Cflice-recking, and seemed to have no idea that he was not fitted to fill any place in the gov- ernment service. He applied for appointment as minister to Austria, without the least discom- Posure, a8 if he had a right to Gemand the piece. When he dropped from the Austrian mission to ask for a eonsulate in France bis assurance, self-compjacency and his idea of his rights never deserted bim. What They Kuew of Guiteau in Chicago. CHIcaGo,July 2.—Charles J.Guiteau,who shot the President this morning, has been known in Chicago for the past 12 years, and for much of that time been considered a3 more than hal Insane, He may have had French blood in his ‘veins, but was to all appearance an American. He wore his hair brushed upin front, giving ‘his face a startling look, When he frat ar- Tived in Chicago he begaa practicing law. He married a sister of George Scovell, .known lawyer here, and lived about the Uaton Place, but being of @ shiftiess charac ter, he be- came a nuisance, and was finally forbidden his house by Scovell. After living in a precarious fashion here for some time he went to New York, only to return in 1878. He then professed to have been converted, and began lecturing ‘under the auspicies of the Yung Mess’ Chris ‘tan association. GUITBAU'S CALL ON ATTORNEY GENERAL MAC- VEAGE. A few days ago Guiteau, the assaszin, called upon Attorney General MacVeazh. He was not excited at all but deliberate in pressing his claims. He eaid he was an applicsnt for a consular position at Parts, and that Biatne and the Presicent had disappointed him. Oaly day before yesterGay Gulteau had an Interview With the Attorney General, in which he sald be bad been badly treated, and that had he had yet to be taken care of. What They Know of Guiteau at Navy Department. STATKMENT OF THE ASSISTANT LIBRARTAN. On the 30th of vune last Guileau registered at the Riggs House and was sssigned to room #22, His daily haunt then was the Navy de- Fartmert. Mr. Trudeau, the a:s'stant librarian, sald to day to a SraR reporter: “Soon afver ‘the Inaugural Guiteau came to the iibrary of the Navy de] it He a Moores ree a said be was an applicant for the U. 8. consul Sieethet at Paris. He said he was certain e could get the place because he was a mem- ver of the executive committee of the republl- can party. Hedid not say in what state he Scrved 88 such Officer.” Mr. Tru jeau says: “1 ashed bim if he was acquainted with the French language. As far as I can remember he said It Was not necessary that he should speak the language. He found in the tbrary a book giving Tull information about consuiships. This Le kept our Gays and ®t bsequently returned it. When he came to the library he spoke but little, He would come in aud say ‘good morn- ing,” aha that was about ail, He came in some | Weeks #go and borrowed from the library | Bedcau’s history of Gen. Grant. When he j brought it back he sald: “That is a good book. it gives Gravatt dne credit.’ ‘The last ume ne | came to the library be said Bisine was a fraud. He hed not giveu Dm a consulship Thea,” suid Mr. Trudeat “Le drepped Gf apd did noi | Deke bis ¢eiy call. Wein the office use to say, onder where ctr consul ts to-day.” Tu the Ty We &.ways Called him our consul.” Whatthey Know of Guiteau at His Hoarding Honse. Learning that Guiteau had recently been boarding atthe residence of Mrs. Grant, No. 922 14{b street northwest, a Srar reporter was at once dispatched to the premisea. He found the family disposed to be extremely reticent on the subject of their late boarder, and It was only by dint of close questioning that our repre- sentative was enabled to get the following par- Uculars: Guiteau engaged board about six weeks ago. He is described as a shabby, seedy looking man, of mcdlum height, well along in tbe thirties in ge, and anything but presossessing In ap. Peereance, He wore a thin mustache and goatee, rather ark In color, and had § queer, wild look ig Mseres, Th general opinion among his | fellow-boarders was that he was a “little off; | others thought him half crazy, butsane enough to know what he was about. He referred fre- quently to hia prospects for a foreign mission, and spoke confidently of his early appotnt- ment. The day before yesterday he was in- formed by Mrs, Grant that che would no longer be put OM with promises; that he then owed ber $50. and unless he pald at once he must leave tke house, Gutteau declared himself un- able to pay, and said that he would receive his i} appointment in a few days and scttle up, but | this story having worn It: threadbare, was hot accepted as satisfactory, and Mr. Guiteau | had to go. Since then they had not seen | or heard of him until the tragedy of this morn. | ing. What the Clerkof the Ariingtoa Knows of Guiteau, Mr. F. 0. Bennett, the clerk at the Arlington Hotel, says, ““Guiteau,the assassin,used to come around here every day. He was a seml-seedy ebaracter; that 1s, he was res] ole and he would haunt the reading room of the hotel. 1 of course wanted to know who he was; he seemed to be harmless; he would com> in and read thc newspapers for an hour or more. He had a stern, than Strangely, but the & furtive look. He acted without method. One day he came to hotel and sald: “Can you tell me when the President ts coming back from Long Branch?” ‘ Yes,” said Mr. Bennett; “he will come te- morrow on the 4 o'clock train.” “Will the Post- master General be with him,” said the assas- sin? “Yes, I think he will,” sald the clerk, “What time does train leave Lorg Branch which will bring the Presi- cent here.” asked the assassin. “About 5 o’clock, I think,” said the clerk. Mr. Bennett says Giteau_was not one whom be could say wasa beat. He behaved himself well, but strangely. He would pore over the — and often take three hours to read em. Guiteau’s Chicngo Career. it Is said that Guiteau 1s a third-rate lawyer Of Chicago ard formerly practiced in the west side police court of that city. A strange man, & restaurant keeper from that city, called at Police headquarters to-day, stating that he knew 31m well, and that Guiteaa owed him a biil of $7. He sald that he met him In this city March 4th—inavguration day; that he was thought to be a sort of third-rate lawyer and Sate jupatic. Guiteau was staying at the St. James hotel at that time. Guitean’s Hackman. Aquilla Barton, the colored backman with whem the assassin bargained for a hack, said to a STaR man: “He sald he wanted me to take him to de berryin’ groun’; to Ge grave yard. I Wish to God I'd ha knowd what his object was, and I'd ha tuck him to de berrsin’ grown afore now. Indeed he'd a done been dar fo’ dis time.” How Mrs. Garfield Saved the Presi- dents Life. Or one of the papers found in the assassin’s bundle was a memorandum to theeffect that he was at the Baltimore and Potomac depot on the occasion when the President went away with Mrs, Garficldto Long Branch, some two weeks ago; that his purpose then was to shoot the President at that time, but when ke saw ‘the sick wife of the President leaning on him as they passed through the depot, he theught that God was with him, and he put back his weapon until a more propitions time; that had it not been for Mra. Garfleld being sick at that time he would have been killed. Scenes in and Around the White House. At 3 o'clock Col. Corbin telegraphed ex-Prest- dent Bayes as follows:—“Prestdent’s pulse up 128, Chances of recovery grow more and more remote. Doctors offer no en: ement.” At Unis writing the President's pulse has falien to 112, and he seems to be resting a little easter. He has been suffering most excruciating pain all day, but has borne it manfully. His sensea have not at any time him, and he re. cognizes ali his friends who enter the room. He is lying in bis own chamber, in the right wing of the house, About the White House grounds ts gathered an immense concourse of people, awalt- in news from within the house. Members of the Cabinet, physicians and members of the press alone are ds, two companies of soldiers, In the groun one of infantry and one of cavalry, trom the Arsenal, are encamped, and will remain all aight. Mounted police officers patrol the ave- nues, and a double guard ts placed at each entrance. There is much excitement, but It is Of a subdued character. The eagerness of the crowd for news is shown whenever any one leaves the house. He is immediately sur- rounded by @ score or more, and can force a passage through the anxious ones.
