Secretary Blatne sent the following dispatch to Vice President Arthur: At this hour—half-past three—symptoms are still unfavorable. Anxtety deepens. A Little Improvement. At 340 the Presidents symptoms were a littie more favorable. Hia pulse had gone down tolid. He was dozing, and in no pain, having been put under the influence of morphine. The Lumber of people at the White House had in- creased. Tnere is anxtety on the face of every one. The physicians do aot look or speak in the least hopeful. ‘The Medical Consultation. THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION AT 4 O'CLOCK—NOT ONB CHANCE IN A HUNDRED OF HIS RECOVERY. At 4 o’clock the consultation of physicians was over. The verdict was that the President's Cordition would. not allow his wound being probed forthe ball. There bad been a reaction from his 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 is nothing at all favorable in his condition.” “Has he one chance in a hundred?” asked the reporter. a “Not more than one in a hundred,” was the reply. 8:45 P, M.—The following ate the physicians who were in consultation: Surgeon General Barnes and Drs. Huntington and Woodward, of the army; Surgecn General Wales, of the Davy; Drs. Bliss, Ford, Lincoln, Reyburn, Nor- tis, Purvis, Health Oficer Townshend and Coro- ner Patterson. Mrs. Garfield, accompanied by Mra. Mollie ad two younger children, Gen. Swaim and Miss Rockwell are on their way here, and will arrive at6 p.m. They will be met at the depot by Co}.

Cannot Live Throngh the Night. Dr. Bliss says that he thinks that the ball from the pistol struck the liver and lodgea there. The President cannot live through the night. It is expected that the end will be in tnree or four hours. Telegrams of Condolence at the White House. Among the telegrams of condolence and sympathy received at the White House to day were messages from H, E. Knox, Joun I. Day- enport, of New York, Jos. Atkins, of Georgia: W. H. Smith, Chicago, and C, W. Moulton, Ohio. Representative Kasson 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 erime of your attempted assassination. On behalf of all true-Christiang Ipray that you may be speedily returned to health.” C, H. Grosvenor telegrayhs from Athens, Ohio: “I pray God report exaggerated. ‘The feople 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- lve 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 i been crowded since 10:30 by an anxious gathering. All classes of people, of both sexes, were there. The gates were kept closed and guarded, only a few, including the representa- tives of the press, belng allowed in. Every person coming from the house was seized upon and asked for information. Thé demorall- zation In the departments was very great all day. No work was done. The departments were practically closed as 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- spread consternation was very slow. ANOTHER ACCOUNT SHOOTING. raphic Account by an Eye Wit- OF THE ness. (A gentleman of this city who was going north by the limited Express this morning and who saw the affair sends back by telegraph, irom Baltimore, the following concise and Graphic account of the shooting of President Garfleld:} BALTIMORE, July 2, 1331, I was just behind the President when he en- tered the B street entrance of the rallway sta- Uon. The President stepped up the steps alone cutside on the pavement. There seemed to ba DO one there but the policeman. My wife, who Was with me, remarked, “How well the Prest- Gent 1s looking.” He was by this time two feet inside the door. I should say he was about to raise bis hat to return a bow, when two shots were fired from the left hand side of the door. At the first shot the President turned and reeled a little, 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 lime the people present realized the cause. Scme supposed {t was merely an explosion of fire-creckergs: but on seeing the President lay there the wildest excitement prevailed, and the officer ran in and seized the assassin. By this {ime the entrance was blocked on B street, and I bad 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 selze the assas- sin, but the latter made a demonstration as if he would shoot Lim,and Mr. Camacho desisted. Gko. W. Apa. Statement of George T. Walters—The President's Request to have Mrs. Garfield Sent For. George T. Walters, a colored man, said he was taking trunks into the depot for alady and gentleman. He heard the shots and ran to- wards the ladies’ room. When near the door he met a man who held a pistol in a threaten- img manner. Says Walters: ‘I dodged, think- ing at first the man was going to shoot me. ‘Then I saw Mr. Parke catch hold of the man He caught him by both shoulders, a0, (illus- trating). Mr. Parke jumped through the win- dow and caught the man. Then I helped carry the President upstairs. 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 President's shoes they got some bottles and put something on his feet Then somebody asked him now he felt, and he said, I feel easier now. The President vomited, but he did not throw up any blood When his feet had been rubbed he said to Sec Tetary Windom: You go right down stairs and telegraph my wife that I am feeling consider- ably better. Tell her if she is able, if she feel that she can stand It, to come to Washington immediately. Secretary Windom sent the dis patch, Walters continuing, sald: “I saw that man hanging around here this morniag. He got bis shoes blackened right here at the de- pot” tatement of Ticket Agent Parke, Mr. Rebert A Parke, ticket agent of the & P. depot, said: “The President got out carriage apd entered the depot from. ha B Sircet entrance. He hada’t got Macis than flve feet inside the ladies’ room and was passing Tight on through when this man, who had been ding arovnd, fired. The President passed ig —did not meke any move towards re- sisting or protecting himselt, and in ten seconds the fellow fired the second shot. He was be- bind the President when he fired both shots. The first saw of Secretary Blaine he had turned as if going out, of that door (pointing towarés the west). This was about the time of the first shot. When the second shot was fired Blaine rushed to the President. Yes, the President fell on the floor, right over re (poirting.) Mrs. White (the lady who has @ Of the ladfes’ waiting room) was the person to reach the President. She raised his head from the floor, and rested it on her lap. He did not say a word that I heard.” Mr. Prrke was in the Ucket office, and when he faw the assassin fire he jumped through the “window oreping into the ladies’ room and © it Guiteaw as he was about to pass out on sUtet.

Kearney.—“Yes, he did. He sald—hold on, I've got what he said written here on a plece of paper.” (Here Kearney produced a smali pisce of paper, on which was written the fol- lowing: ‘I did it, and will go to jall for it. 1 #™ a Stalwart, and Arthur will be President.” Kearney continuing—‘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 (emphatically.)—" Well, he did; and T can prove it. He sald just those words, and Iwrote them down. so I would remember them. He had a letter tn his hand and sald it was for Gen. Sherman.” Star.—“Did he say anything else?” “He said the letter was for Gen. Sherman, and asked me to take itto him. I, of course, retused to have anything to do with his letter. He wanted to take it himself, he said, as 1t was very important. He said: ‘In time this will be all right. It’s time enough yet.’ He scemed to be as rational as any man; he talked rational enough. He had a fine pistol, ivory handle and large callbre. Ididn’t hear any- body call out to guard the windows when the shots were fired. I just caught the first man Tsaw trying to get away. He had a carriage outeide reagy to take him away.” WHO FIRST SBIZED GUITEAU. In the excitement of the moment no dou»: Kerney thought he was the first to seize the as- sasein, but in fact Mr. Parke was the first to lay bands on him. Kearney came instantly and Parke panes Kearney and Scott to take charge of the prisoner. WHAT MR, JANOWITZ SAW, Mr. Janowitz, one cf 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 on Mrs. White’s lap. He saw the prisoner in charge of the officers, and he looked badly scared. 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- ipg 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 efiect and the President, regaining conscious- neces, Was asked where he felt the most pain. He repited in the right leg and foot. He then examined the wound, introducing his 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- {ion with them it was decided to remove him to the White House. Dr. Smith and myself ac- Companted the President in the ambulance to. the White House, where another examination Was mado and stimulants again administered. An ineffectual attempt was made to trace the course of the wound, and at 12:20, the Presl- | dent suffering much pain, a hyperdermic tn- jection of morphine was administered.” Dr. Townshend left the President shortly after- ‘ward somewhat revived. The doctor said at 2 p.m. that he could not give an intelligent opin- fon as yet, but pronounced the wound as dangerous, but not necessartly 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 (i 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’elock. There are strong grounds for hope and at the same the gravest anxiety as to the final result. (Signed) JaMES G. BLAINE, Secretary of State. Legal Inquisition in Progress. THE PRIGONER REPORTED TO HAV! HAD AN AC- COMPLICE. An inquisition was convened {n the office of the District attorney within half an hour atter the shooting at the depot. Every one about the depot who was supposed to know anything about the affair was hurried by tho police at once to the District attorney's office, and a secret examination has been in progress all day, Judge Wylle, Col. Corkhill, Mr. Perry and some detective officers being present. Col. Cook was present part of the time. The report that there was another man with Guiteau at the time of the shooting was confirmed by one or two withesses. 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 night, and going there they found that he had left a box of cartridges of a calibre to sult the buil-dog, and a pack of visiting cards and a coat. Guiteau at the Jail. The scene at the jail when the prisoner ar- rived there was very quiet. The van, in charge of Lieut. Eckloff, Detective McElfresh 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 Rusa, who was in charge, received the party. The pris- oner was taken into the walting room, where he was searched by the jail guards and his shoes taken from him. He said nothing to the officers, except “Gen. Sherman will be down soon.” He was taken to a cell in the south wing. The proceeding was over so quick that no one inthe neighborhood of the jail, except the officers, 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. FRARS 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 jall If the man’s presenes there was known. Deputy Russ, who spent some time in trying to convince a Sram reporter that the man was not there, was finally forced to yicld the point. “I can’t let you see him,” said the deputy. “I can’t even tell you where he ts. Orders were ‘sent to Gen. Coocker from the Attorney General not to let anyone see him or speak to him, under any circumstances.” A STRANGE STORY BY DEPUTY RUGS, “There is something strange about this,” gaid the deputy. ‘Il knew the man ag soon as he crossed the threshold of the jail. I cannot Tecollect the date, but I saw him some {wo or | three weeks ago. He ts a Frenchman, I think, Hee eae here and want d to look through the + When I see a man once | always know him.

I told him that tt Wes DOt a visitor's day. Two of our officers also saw him here two or three weeks ago. He Wanted to go through the jail He went into the rotunda, looked at the scaffold, and went cut. I THINK HR IS A COMMUNIST.” Arrangements were being made at the jail thts afternoon to have the institution weli guarded. GITRAU'S LETTER TO GEN. SHERMAN. Just as soon as Kearney caught Giteau by the arms, the latter said, “Hold up. I want you to send this paper to Gen. Sherman at once.” This letter was dropped and afterwards picked up and handed to Capt. Vernon, who took It to Col. Corkhill's office, and if was sent to Gen. Sherman. It stated that he (Gtteau) had jast shot the President; that it was a political ne- cessity that prompted the act. ‘The pistol was not taken from Giteau until he got to headquarters. Lieut. Eckloif! took it irom bim, Two chambers were empty and Uree bad loazs inthem. The prisoner told McElfresh that he nad been sitting In Latayezte square for several weeks watching the Pres!- dent's house. It was rumored this afternoon that the Washington Light Infantry have been ordered out to keep guard over the jail. Precautions Against Lynching. Gen. Sherman, who was at the 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. ‘Th‘s order was carried out at once. The Major of Police has ordered detalls of police at both these places, Fears are ex- pressed that 8 mob will demand Giteau for im- mediate and summary punishment, sane or in- sane. Gep. Ayres has been directed by the Secre- tary of War to place a company of soldiers at Major Brock’s disposal, and they will be sent to guard the jail Major Brock scat a guard of twenty-five mounted men there this afternoon to rematn until relieved, If there 1s any con- spiracy it 1s thought that this will frustrate any attempts at escape or rescue. All who have come in contact with the assassin agree Lhat, judging from his looks and actions, he tc Tore of a knave than fool or lunatic, In less than an hour after the order of Col. Webster was issueu Co. A had ninety men in unfform at their armory. Services of the District Militia Ac- cepted. The District Commissioners. through Adju- tant General Webster, have tendered to the general of the army the services of the District tioops, which have been accepted. Gen. Sher- man, Gen, Ayres and Adjutant General Webster had a consultation at the War department this P.m., and concluded to arrange for a signal through the fire alarm, which will be acall for all the District troops to assemble at their armories, and remain until further ordera, 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 OLDER, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICR, WASHINGTON, July 2d, 185) {Cirewlar.}—Pursuant to orders from the Commanding General of the Army of the United States, the various military organiza- Uons of the District of Columbia will be pre- pared to assembie at their respective armories upon @ signal of six strokes, to be repeated three times, from the fire alarm, and will hold themselves in readiness for such instructions #8 the occasion may demand. By order of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Asos, WassTER, Adjutant General. THE SIGNAL AGREED UPON by the War department police and fire depart- ments ts that six strokes.three;times in succes Sion, 1s 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 afternoon: “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 theforce under your coz. mand the importance of great circumspection Vigilance and energy in maintaining order and quae and in suppressing all noisy and uns lemonstrations, especially on the 3d 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 ts felt by every good citizen.” Guiteau Formerly a Member of the Oneida Community. Guiteau was born in Freeport, Ill, and is the second son 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 yearsofage. When about 12 years of age his father embraced the doctrine of perfection as taugiit by the Oneida community, and with his wife and gon joined that community in New Xi The father, however, returned aftera short absence, leaving the boy tn the commu- nity, but after ad absence of about four years the boy returned and was sent by his father to Chicego to study law, and graduating there ’ being an excellent speaker, he 300n commenced to rise In his profession. A SECOND ADVENIIST. Finally he mixed his religious notions with his practice, and the latter fet! off, and thea taking up the Second Advent belfef he com- menced to lecture on the subject and te pub- Ush books thereon. Finally he left the country and travelled in Europe, being assistea, it is believed, by his father. He has an older brother in Boston—J. Wilson Gutteau—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 Hail on his favorite Subject, the second coming of the Messiah, but hada small audience. His friends in Illinois have regarded him a3 8 monomaniac for years, but harmless, but the opinion 1s advanced that the death of his father caused him to get be- bind hand in bis pecuniary affairs, aia finally the homicidal mania was formed on his mind. Guiteau as au 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 calied a crszy man. He was most persistent in his ofice-seeking, and seemed to have no idea that be 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, as if he had a right to aemand the Place. When he dropped from the Austrian mission to ask for a~consulate in France his aseurance, self-complacency and his idea of his Tights never deserted him. What They Knew of Guitean in Chi CHicaGo,July 2.—Charles J.Guiteau, who shot the President this merning, has been known in Chicago for the past 12 years, and for much of that time been considered as more than halt Mmsane. He may have had French blood in his known lawyer here, and lived about the Uaion Place, but being of a shiftiess charac ter, he be- came & 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 revurn in 1878. He then professed to have been converted, and began lecturing under the auspicies of the Yuung Mens’ Chris- ‘an association. A few days ago Guiteau, the assassin, called ‘upon Attorney General MacVeazh. He waspot £ } aii day, Dut has borne it manfully.

Mr, Trudeau, the a:s!stant librarian, sald today to a Star reporter: “Soon afver the inaugural Guiteau came to the ttbrary of the Navy dey it larly every day. He bad a neem pather these an idiotic look. He seid pe was an appilcant for the U. S. consul geueralship at Paris. He said he was certain be could get the place Decause he was a mem- ber of the executive committee of the repubdli- cén party. He did not say in what state he servid as uch ofMicer.” Mr. Trujeau says: “I asked him if be was acquainted with the | French language. As far as I can remember he fald It was not necessary that he should Speak the language. He found tn the ltbrary a vk giving full information about consulships. This Le kept four Gays and stbscquently returned it. When he came to the library he spoke but little, He would come in and say ‘good morn- ing,’ and that was about all. He came in some | Weeks ago and borrowed trom the lbrary | Badcau’s history of Gen. Grant. When be brought it back he said: "That ts a good book. | It gives Grant due credit.’ The last time ne | came to the Library be sald Blaine was a fraud. He hed not given Pim a consuiship.

He found ‘the family disposed to be extremely reticent on the subject of thelr late boarder, and it was only by dint of close questioning that our repre- sentative was enabled to get the following par- ticulars: Guiteau engaged board about six weeks ago. He fs described as a shabby, seedy looking man, | of mcdium height, well along in the thirties in | ge, and anything but predossessing in ap- pearance. He wore a thin mustache and goatee, rather dark in color, and had a queer, wild look | in hiseyes, The general opinion among his | fellow-boarders was that he was a “little off;’ others thought him half crazy, but sane enouch to know what he was about. He referred tre- quently to his prospects for a foreign mission, and poke confidently of bis early appoiat ment. The day before yesterday he was tn- formed by Mrs, Grant that she would no longer be put off with promises; that he then owed | her $50. and unless he paid at once he mast | leave Uke house, Gulteau declared himseif un- | able to pay, and satd that he would receive his | appointment in a few days and settic up, but | this story having worn {tself threadbare, was a hot accepted as satisfactory, and Mr. Gulteau | bed to go. Since then they had not seen cr heard of him untii the tragedy of this mora- ing. What the Clerkof the Arlington Knows of Guiteau. Mr. F. O. Bennett, the clerk at the Arliagton Hotel, says, “Guiteau,the assassin,used to come around here every day, He was a semi-seedy character; that is. he was respectable and he | would haunt the reading room of the hotel. I of course wanted to know who he was; he scemea to be harmless; he would come im and read the newspapers ior an hour or more. He had a stern, rather than & furtive lock. He acted strangely, but Without method, One day he came to the hotel and sald: “Can you tell me when the | President 1s coming back from Long Branch?” ‘ Yes,” sald Mr. Bennett; “he will come to- morrow on the 4 o'clock train.” “Will the Post- mest rneral be with him,” sald the agsas- sin?) “Yes, I think he will,” said the clerk. “What time doea the train leave Lopg Branch which will bring the Preal- Gent here.” asked the a “AbOUL o'clock, I think,” said the clerk. Mr. Bennett says Giteau_was not one whom he could say was a beat. He behaved himself well, but strangely. He would pore over the eee and often take three hours to read. em. Guitea Chicago Career. It fs gaid that Guiteau 1s a third-rate lawyer of Chicago and 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 him well, and that Guitean owed him a bill of $i. He said that he met him in this city March 4th—inauguration day; that he was thought to be asort of third-rate lawyer and Political lupatic. Gulteau was staying at the St. James hotel at that time. Guiteau’s Hackman Aquilla Barton, the colored hackman with whem the assassin bargained for a hack, said toa STaR man: ‘He sald he wanted me to take im to de berryin’ groun’; to de grave yard. 1 wish to God I'd ha knowd what bis object was, and I'd ha tuck him to de berryin’ grown afore now. Indeed he’d a done been dar fo’ dis time,” How Mrs. Garfield Saved the Presi- denv’s Life. On one of the papers found in the assassin’s bundle was @ memorandum to theeffect that he was at the Baltimore and Potomac depot on the occasion when the President went away with Mrs. Garfield to Long Branch, some two Weeks ago; that his purpose then was to shoot the President at that time, but when be saw the sick wife of the President leaning on him as they passed through the depot, he thought that God was with him, and he put back bis weapon until & more propitious time; that bad it not been for Mrs. Garfield being ‘sick at that time he would have been killed.
