HIS CONDITION DECIDEDLY MORE FAVORABLE THIS MORNING. 8:30 A. M. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. ‘The President’s Condition Decidedly More Favorable. ‘The following bulletin was issued at 8:30 : ‘The President has passed a comfortable night, and his condition this morning 1s decidedly more favorable. There has been no vomiting since last evening, at elght o”clock, and he has been able to retain the liquid nourishment a4 ministered. There is les3 tympanitis, and no abdominal tenderness, except In the wounded Tegion. Pulse 114; temperature 100.5, and res- Piration 24. D. W. Buss. J. J. WOODWARD, J. K, BARNES, Rost, REysurn, Should the President’s condition continue as it is given above, no further bulletins will be issued before one o’clock. The bulletin, taking in view the unfavorable turn affairs took yes- terday afternoon and evening,{s one of the most favorable that has been Issued since the morn- ing after the shooting. The pulse has gone down to 114, a fall of twelve beats since the bulletin issued last night. The absence of ten- derness in the stomach, except at the wound, is regarded as a very good sign and as an {ndl- cation that there ts no great danger now of peritonitis, Dr. Bliss was more hopeful this morning, Stating that the swelling of the bowels was subsiding, and the temperature reduced, and that the President slept well for ninety min- utes. How the Night Was Passed. Popular feeling seems to ebb and flow with the life of the President. Rumors that the President was sinking rapidly last evening were partly confirmed by the discouraging na- ture of the 7:45 bulletin indicating the returo Ot dangerous symptom3. Two hours later another bulletin more cheering in tone was issued, efter which the house wa3 closed for tae night. Genera! Sherman in passing out of the house at 10 o’clock re marked to young Mr. James Gartleld “Be of good cheer; your father 13 b2tter,” words which gave new hope to those to whom they were repeated. During the night further improvement in the condition of the President Was reported. The scenes about the W! House (luring the night were the same a3 have been witnessed there for three nights past. ‘The vestibules were filled early in the evening with Lewspaper men and anxious visitors. Up stalrs little groups of men—many with weary and haggard faces—were disposed about the offices. Whenever a physician or a Cabinet officer, or other person who had admission to the private apartments appeared, eager inquiries were made of him for the latest intelligence. At ten o'clock, when the house was closed, all were excluded except those ‘mtimately connected with the President, but during the entire night callers ap- Piied at the main entrance for some news. Outside, the only occupants of the grounds were the military guard and afew ttred policemen. A small crowd of peo- ple remained about the gates until late, it was thought during the night that the crisis had been passed, and the first bulletin this morning would record an important change for the better. The members of the Cabinet who left the house about midnight were assured that there was no immediate danger, and that they would be instantly notified of any unfavor- able change. There was no occasion to sum~- mon them during the night. The Presidienvs Cendition Last Night. The following isthe oaly bulletin issued last Right after Tue Stak extra, which published the 7:45 bulletin: EXECCTIVE MANSION, July 4, 10 p. m. Slight amelioration of symptoms during past two hours; no vomiting during that period. Pulse, 124; temperature. foi: respiration, 24. In order to avoid disturbing the President unnec:s- sarily no further bulletin will be issued until to-morrow morning. D. W. Buiss, J. J, Woopwarp, J. K. BaRNgs, Ros'r REYBURN. Unofficial announcements made after that hour indicated a further improvement, and at midnight the President was reported to be sleeping quietly. Mr. and Sirs.

Garfield, Executive Man- sion, Washington:” WASHINGTON. D. C.. TUESDAY, JULY 5. 1881: THE ASSASSIN PHOTOGRAPHED. There has been such @ demand for itkenesses Of Guiteau by the police and by pictorial pa- Pers, that arrangements were made yesterday to photograph him. Guiteau was taken out into the rotunda of the tailfor the purpose. Mr. C. M. Bell obtained several negatives in different positions, Guiteau appearing anxious that the pictures should represent him to be ta @ Datural and easy position. He was dressed ina dark suit, and wore a standing collar, black cravat, and a black slouch hat. DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL, Rebecca Lodge, No. 1, Daughters of Israel, Mrs. B. Schwarz, president, has adopted the following: “Our country has been assailed in the person of our Chief trate, James A. Garfleld. ‘The head of the nation, the chosen representa- tive, tne loving husband and father, the true friend, the intellectual man, has been icken in the plenitude of his mental and physical ‘st ‘The cow: act, disap- ren} 2 born 0 pointment and matured in semi-insanity, has sbaken the world and rudely assailed our fond- est traditions and customs, Taeretore, Re. -| becca composed of true and loyal American women, express in heartfelt words their great griet, ther profound sympathy, hoping and praying for the recovery of the President and the uation of our noble institutions, To the wife and mother our love and Dest wishes, to the nation our fervent affection in this the crucial moment of cur national life. God heed life and help to the afflicted! Peace to the country!” What Dr. Hamilton Said. Dr. F. H. Hamilton, of New York, who was summoned to the bedside of the President, said to a reporter before he started to Washington: “I can’t think that the ‘attending surgeons have intended to state positively the course the ball took after it penetrated the > I don’t; see how they know positively that it has en- tered the liver—unless they examined with a Sern bas not stated—or is ged in the anterior part of the abdomen. For aught that appears at present the ball may have penetrated between the muscles of the back and slid along between the bee of the muscles, and may not have entered belly at all. Such eccentricity in the course of balls is Dot at all uncommon and does not greatly endanger life, If the ball has actually Petes el the oa, of the belly and passed ‘rough even a email portion of the liver, the future danger tothe patient 1 consider very great, even though he may have escaped the first danger, that of hemorrhage. The ex- amples of recovery attgr Penetrating gunshot wounds of the liverare very few. In the late war I was able to record eight examples of re- covery from gunshot wounds of the liver. I have myself personally seen two—both from stol balls. The records of the late civil war rnished @ number of examples; my impres- sion is about fifteen. Itmust be remembered that all the cases recorded by myself, and probably most cases where there was recov- ery of such accidents, were cases where the ball passed entirely through the wall of the belly, and made its . nally. must be entered it, the danger is tly increased, and ve until the ball 1g found and successfully extracted. But Trepeat that I cannot think that medical gen- tlemien have intended to say that they know that the ball has penetrated the liver and Is lying in the cavity of the belly and does not lie between the layers of the muscles. We ought toreceive encouragement from the fact that although the patient suffered severely from the shock and later from depression that might have been consequent on internal bleeding, yet after the expiration of thirty or forty hours he has again rallied. For every hour that shall elapse hereafter without a recurrence of great pain or high febrile excitement, indicating the accession of inflammation, we have additional rounds for encouragement. With the Prest- lent’s temperate habits and good health the chances are greatly increased.” Guiteau’s Brother-in-Law. WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT THE ASSASSIN—AN IN- ‘TERVIEW AT THE JAlL.. District Attorney Corkhill paid a visit to the jail yesterday afternoon with Mr. Gao, Scoville, of Chicago, brother-in-law of Guiteau. Scoville hada jong interview with Guiteau, in which the latter made a statement, Scoville says that he believes Guiteau insane; he was morally deficient, but was never N tO falsification; he was satisfied that he nO accomplices; Gulteau stated that the matter came to him as a revelation from God, six weeks ago, to cement the repudlican pe He complained bitterly that the papais ie had prepared had been withheld trom the people. He said he had not given a moment’s thought as to the results to pimself; he had not attempted to kill the President on account of any malice or ill-feeling, but for the good of the country; he had told the hackman to take him to the Congressional Cemetery, as that was very near the jail, and he did not Ike to tell the dunce to take him directly to the jail; that he thought he had killei the Fresident or he would not have quit firing; Guiteau, Mr. Scoville stated, had a high idea of his own impertance. He said to Scoville he did not know but that MacVeagh had some feeling against him, and therefore had refused to print his communication, because he had fay- ored Emory A. Storrs for Attorney-General; that he never had bandied or shot a pistol before; that after he got it he went down to the river bank and practiced with it; that when he fired it off it made such a loud report that he did not ractice any more. He had always been inof- lensive, except in one instance, when he had raised an axe over his sister, Mrs. Scoville, tnree years ago; the family then had a consultation about putting him in the asylum, but gave up the idea, as that was the only instancs of his violence known. At the bottom ofall his strange behavior he has a deep vein of religious fervor. He has been insane on religious subjects for fit- teen years. At one time he proposed to start a religious paper, which was to be a revelation to the religious world. He got out the prospectus, and that was the end of the scheme, Guiteaw’s Career in New York. HE FIGURES AS STRAW BAIL AND IN A DIVOxCE Suir. The New York Sux of yesterday prints a column or two of the a3sassin’s career in tht city, from which we make the following ex- ‘tracts: Herbert T. Ketchum, a lawyer, of 170 Broad- Way, was clerk for Granville P. Haws, now pre of the marine court, when Guiteau hired desk room in the three offices on the first floor, Gulteau, Mr. Ketchum says, first appeared in the office about a month previous to his (Mr. Ketchum’s) coming. He was not well liked by apy of the other lawyers in the office, Mr. Ketchum recalled to mind last evening Gui- teau's connection with Stephen English, of the Insurance Times, Mr. English was imprisoned in default of bail in a suit for libel instituted by President Winston of the New York Life Insur- ance Company. Mr. English sald to Gulteau that if he would furnish 0 on his ball bond he for his the securities, but they were found to be worthless, Mr. English taxed him with his knavery, and Guiteau re- pee Unat the understanding was that he should nish securities, and he had done go, and had earned bis money, Mr. English afterward ee bim for this money, and secured a judg- ment. GUITEAU’S WIFE'S DIVORCE. Mr. Ketchum’s present business partner, Mr. Brown, sald that be had been employed by Guiteau’s wife to begin proceedings for divorce spate her husband on the ground of adultery. . Brown learned that Guiteau was in Mr. the ‘case was 5 Vision, however, of his own afterward Mr. Brown that a wife wished to retain tried, hey that { lon, Some time received a note saying other write him counsel. sald that if she to that effect he would throw up'tne case. He never received any note trom her to that effect. It fg his opinion that Guiteau wished to er of his acquaintance, and with ve the case reopened. Ne i some let collusion that I struck bim, The fight grew hot, I told Mr. Haws thateither Guiteauor I had to leave. As Guiteau was a bad tenant, and as I was just then very valuable to my employer, the latter lest no time ia ridding the office of his pres- ence. Iam alittle sorry to have had the mis. fortune of knowing such a character.” Alexandria Affairs, (Reported for The Star.) ‘THE Alexandria Canal is doing some business, but pot sora to render it very profitable to the Alexandria Canal & Bridge Co.. which has leased the work for 99 years, at $1,000 per an- num, from the Alexandria Canal Co.

A Disarmament Needed. ‘TOROXTO, ONT., July 4,—The Mail, nan ar- ticle on the attempted assassination of Gar- field, says:—“It is obvious that the ‘spoils’ ays- tem of the United States tenda constantly to produce hundreds of disappointed men of low morals and bad principles, who, finding their Jast hope of an office gone, may at apy moment turn their deadly desperate weapon on the rep- resentative of the whole political system of the country. It is a sipgular effect of one great crime to produce its Own imitation, 9. in times of excitement no President's }' 4 will be safe in a pation which carries love of liberty so far as to allow to the wick- edest classes the liberty of carrying deadly weapons as plentiful as penknives. To disarm the population, President with a bodyguard, would be 80 striking @ policy, and such a confession of fall- ure in a republic, that we hardly dare to hope the experiment will be tried. But it is obvious that such a disarmament is needed.” THE VICE PRESIDENTS NATIVITY. ‘The Mail adds further:—‘The position! of Vice President Arthur, in the event cf @ va- cancy in the Presidency, would be a singular one, In ordinary cases the Vice President suc- Ceeds the President when the latter dies during his term of office, but Mr. Arthur is, we believe, @ Nova Scotian—a Canadian—and in that case he is not eligible for the oftice.” A Canadian View.

July and August are the months for sea-bath- ing, which, if properly managed, is one of ths Most healthful and invigorating of exercises, though Its good effects are often neutralized through ignorance or carelessness. The fol- jJowing extracts from Dr. J. H. Packard's Sea- Air and Sea-Baihing (one of the “American Health Primers”) furnish a very good summary of rules for the guidance of the unprofessional Teader in this matter: How Long (o Bathe,—It is quite absurd to lay down positive rules as to the time — should Temain in the water, since they do not carry Watches in with them. And any day’s expe- rience on the beach in the season willshow a eat many bathers spo. in the water for if an hour or an hour, and even longer, witu- out any tible ill effect. It Is quite a ccmmon practice among the young to go in, take a bath, come out and He on the sand, and goin again, perhaps a number of times. ‘The agi powers of endurance vary greatly; and it is well known that Swimmers have ‘sometimes maint oe wat Tr mi consecutive tours without harm, aed calitary purposos, asd ax atasteer oy ore matter of prudence, it is better to take the bath, and to “leave the Water for the day. What is wanted in ordinary sea-bal is to Carry the chilling of the body only yey promote the subsequent reaction. The first Sense of cold on entering the water 1s soon fol- lowed by the feeling of returning warmth and this continues for some little time, to be again succeeded by a sense of chilliness. The second cooling is accompanied by a diminution in the activity of the circulation, shown espectally by bluenegs of the Ups or finger nails; and this should invariably be ied as a tor leaving the water at once. To walt until the teeth chatter, and the akin of the fingers be- come shriveled like those of a washerwoman, is in a very high degree imprudent. For those who have young children or inva- lds under their charge, and who are able to observe and regulate the exact time of their Stay In the bath, it may be said that be ratchet, Bed the condition of the skin, somewhere between two and fifteen minutes, It is always safe to err on the stde of prudeace, and to cut the bath needlessly short rather than to prolong it at any risk. erhaps it hardly need be said that the colder the water Is, the less time should bs spent in !t. When the air and the water are both cold, the duration of the bath should correspondingly diminish. This condition of a Increases a9 Ganger of shock and of insufficient reac- ees One*should enter a sea bath comfortable warm acd exercise actively during the stay in the water. The temporary chilling of the sur- face will then give place quickly to a glow, which may be kept up or even Increased by thorough rubbing, How to Bathe.—There are very seldom oppor- tunities for diving into the sea, and only a very ‘Small number of bathers are expert enough to doit. The best plan is to walk or run rapidly into the water, wading out at once far enough eitner to dip the whele person, head and all, or to allow @ wave to bi over the bather. Some like to bave a bucket of sea-water dashed over them before going in.
