REYBURS. | Vice President Arthur’s Cali at tue White House. HE WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE PRESIDENT. =| Vice President Arthur called this e‘ierncon at the White House at 3:30 o'clock. He was accompanicd by Senator Jones. They drove up in a carriage, and, after alight- ing, proceeded to Private Secretaiy Brown’s room. The only members of the Cabimet then in the house were Secretaries W'ndorm, Heot end Lincoln. They were in the Mbraiz. The Vice President and Senator Jones Were ushered Into the Nbrary. Vice President Arthur expressed a desire to eco the President, Ait were porsible. He was told that the sinc about similar wounds that have come under their treat ént, and adsise how the President should be dealt with, Then there t3 much advice J rom soldiers of the lato war wh? have 8etD 684i kinds of gunsi how ‘hey were treatc4. ‘They describe partic- ul8¢ cases that came urder their observation, ad tellin What manner they were treat-d to ceovery.

Tots {3 the clae3 that povrs in most abundant advice, and cay that 't the President's life is to be saved, It is op'y by adoptiog the method which they recommend, Suggcstion of a Scientific Gentle- man. Mr. E. B. Wight, the correspondeat of the Chicego Tribune i this city, this afternoon received the following dispatch fro n Mr. Joseph Mediu, the editor of the Tritune, The dispatch was sutmitted to Br. Bliss: “A sclentific gentleman informs me that mis- sionari¢3 in India lower temperature in rooms twenty cegreea, simply by hanging up wet mats for the air to blow over. A perforated tough, filled with water, placed at top of mat, lets the water trickle down on the m3t, keeping it wet. A little armonia in the water causes Tapld evaporation.

Medical Report of the Favorable Change. 4 THE SURGEONS IN CHARGE TO THE CONSULTING PHYSICIANS. ‘The following dispatch was sent by the sur- eons in charge to the two consulting physi- clans: EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 5, 9:30 2m. After you left, the urgent symptoms contin- ued; there was much restlessness, constant alight vomiting, and by $ o'clock p.m. the Prest- dent's condition seemed even more serious than when you saw him. Since then his symptoms bave gradually become more favorable. There has been ro vomiting or regurgitation of flutd from the stomach since 8 o'clock last evening. The President bas slept a good deal during the Dight, and tbis morning expresses himself as comparatively comfortable. The spasmodic Fains in the lower extremities have entirely d sappeared, leaving behind, however, much muscular soreress and tenderness to the touch. ‘There Is less tympanites and no abdomiral ten- derness whatever, except in the hepatic region. ‘Since § p.m. he has taken an ounce and a half of chicken broth every two hours this morning. Altogether Dut one-naif a grain of morpkia has been administered hypodermically during the last twenty-four hours, and it has been found quite sumMcient. His pulse, however, still keeps up. AtS:30 am. it was 114; tempe- rature, 100.59; respiration, 24. Seventy-two hours have now elapsed since the wound was received. Wecannot but feel encouraged this morning, although of course we do not over- look apy of the perils that still beset the path towards recovery. The course of treatment agreed upon will be steadily pursued. D. W. Buiss, J. K. BARNES, J. J. Woopwarp, Rost. Rgeypvan, 10:40-The Improvement Still Matn- tained. The anticipations of the President's attend ing physiciens !ast night with regard to the Probably transient character of the unftavor- able symptoms, which then manifested them- selves, have been fully justified by the result. Col. Rockwell, who spent a large part of the night in the President’s room, says tha! the latter alept more quietly and tranquilly than at any time since he was wounded. He took nour- Jsbment in the shape of chicken broth, mii ard lime water and beef tea repeatedly, and Teta'ned it, H's restlessness abatep; the ner- Yous contractions of his flogera eeased, and he slept quietly for as much as an hour and a-halt ata time. The improvement shown by the morning’s Official bulletin is still maintained. and the physicians regard the case with foel- ings of encouragemeat. The hours from 6 to 9 p.m. seem for the patient to be the mo3t ua- tayorable part of the day, and it 13 possibie that there may be a reaction again to-nizh", a3 there was last night, but if go, it is believed that it will be transiert, eince the symptoms this morning indicate a decided change for the better. 11:50 4.M —Symptoms Continue Favor- able. ‘The President’s symptoms continue to be favorable. All reports to the contrary are un- Jounded. Noon-The President Holds His Own. In the absence of official bulletins only the opinions of the physicians and the news that comes trom the sick room can begiven. The President has held his own since the 8:30 bulle- tip, That ts a favorable sign, although at this hour—12 o’clock—there has been no improve- ment in his condition. He still dozes at inter- vals, suffers a good deal of pain, and remains cheerful. His true condition 1s best shown by the fact that poth!ng at all decisive is expected for several days, Each day there are new dang>rs. One of the strong polats in bis favor ts that there {a now a harmony tetween his respira- tor, pulsetion and temperature. The course of such wounds as the President’s develops new complications as ttme passes. Tosay that he 1s out of danger would be wild; at the same time to say that hes in danger of death now would be wilder, It is now a question of what days, not hours, may bilng forth. At the same time the physicians in attendance individually convey stropg hopes of final recovery, but do not venture to pred‘ct as to the exact char- acter of his chances even a half dozen hours ahead. 12:30 P.

Dr. Bliss went out shortly after 10 o'clock, aad returned about 12 He looks a great deal worn, and only mn- ages to snatch a little sleep now and then. Mr, Crump, who has been in almost constant at- tendance on the President, is pretty well used remarkably well, His feet have become much swollen from almost incessant standing at the President’s bedside and waiting upon him. The clerks at the White House are much worn out. They sleep any hours that they can. The President’s pri- ‘vate secretary.

He ‘has just had a natural and perfectly normal movement of the towels, which was not ac- companied by any unfavorable indications. He has taken no anodyne since ten last night, and his condition ia regarded by the attending physicians as very encouraging. 2 O’clock—Dr, Bliss Says the Presi- dents Condition 1s Favorable, but he Cannot be Considered Out ot Danger. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Dr. Bliss was asked ifthe President was out of danger. He replied, “No.” He could not, he sald, pro. nounce anything definite in regard to such a wound, unless the ball was better located than it now is. “ Will you probe for it,” was asked. ** We do not intend to,” was the reply. “What is the President’s condition at this hour?” was asked. “itis very favorable. He is avers: His Bleep is a8 quiet, peaceful and nat agit can ‘From what do you fear the most 4 “That I cannot and should not say if] haa formed a final opinion on the subject, There 1s danger from the formation of a puss cavity, and from secon mation, of which there are no signs. There is also a variety of oe which, insuch cases, may bring great japger.” What a Prominent Physician Says About the President's Condition, IT MAY BE THREE WEEKS BEFORE ANYTAING DECISIVE 13 KNOWN. Said a prominent physician to-day to a SraR reporter, *You young men of the press are a little too anxious to Kill or save the President. You do not recollect, or may not know, that a wound such as be has received has ups and downs, as regards the symptoms, of a most decided character. When the symptoms are bad you do not seem to take into consideration anything but that fact; that you must pub- lish the news without any explanation or without any qualification, When the symp- toms are geod you do the same thing on the other elde, Out of this grows the con- stantly changing pudlic feeling that the President is going to live it out at one hour and then that he is going to die the next. Now, the wcund is 4 most dangerous one, and the President's condition is very critical. A change elther one way or the other, unless it is & rapid sinking, does not demonstrate anything. It will be three weeks, I think, before the Prest- Gent can be regarded as safely in a condition that it can Be sald he will live without contro. versy. Remember, that changes one way or the other do not at this day amount to anything In the least definite as to final results.” A Brighter Day at the White House. FAVORABLE SYMPTOMS THIS MORNING—THE DOO- TORS THINK THEM MORE ENCOURAGING THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE THE SHOT. About five o’clock this morning the President awoke from a short sleep. Those in the room were surprised and delighted to hear him say: “Ifeel hungry. I want something to eat.” He was given some chicken broth, and ate it, ap- Parently with some relish. He then remarked that he felt better. Some fear was entertained that the broth—the first that had been given him—would not remain on his stomach. The fear was groundless, however. His stomach Tetained it. He then slept a little again. He is now more cheerful than at any time since the ‘wound was received. In fact, everybody about the White House this morning is in the same happy frame of mind. The bulletin of 8:30 this morning gave encouragement to every one. It was supplemented by the individual assur- ances of the doctors, which had not a shade of despondency in them. Dr. Blis3 left the Preal- dent’s room about ten o'clock. He said to a Srak reporter: “Everything is favorable—very favorable, this morning.” To Secretary Lin- coln, 8 few minutes after, Dr. Bliss said that there had been nothing 20 encouraging since the day of theshot. There has been nothing nearly 80 favorable as 1t now 1s, he said. TO DAY THE TURNING DAY, To-day is thought to be the turning day, and. {tg opening 80 auspiciously for the Preaident causes great ‘oy around tae White House. The crisis in such a case cannot be welldefined. That Js, {ts limits cannot be satd to be at this houror that elther, as to commencement or beginning. It would be more favorable if the day were cooler; but the Preaident’s room is cooler, prob- ably, than any other room in the city. A good deal has been said against the old White House, but it 1s well ventilated. On the hottest and most sultry day there is always a breeze through the old bullding, and especially in the flat of Tooms in the most comfortable of which the President's is located. THE PRESIDENT'S MIND I8 CLEAR. ‘To-day he isa little feverish, but that fs no bad sign, The history of the President's case has 80 far been that he 1s better in the morn- ing. and gets worse in the evening. He 1s 50 much better this morning that a relapse this evening 1s not feared to any great extent. THE NIGHT WATCH, Drs. Bliss and Reyburn, Col. Rockwell, Mr. Crump and Mrs. Edson pagsed last night in the President's room. The President took his longest continuous sleep since he was hurt, ‘ast night. He slept about an hour and a half. He went tosicep at 10:30 and did not wake till 12, From then on he dozed at intervals, and took short sleeps, He is in pain all the time, and Low and then groans out. MRS. GARFIELD was not allowed in the room last n! went to bed. She had a good was up early this morning chamber. When told of the, condition of ker husband, sald quietly: told you he isnot going to Qe.” The President ‘s Kept resting on his sid@\most of the time, though his position is shifted frdquently. Pit lows are placed under him and arranged to give the greatest ease. He js very feeble, of ccurse. When he wants his position changed he makes known his wishes and he 1s shifted, great care being taken not to shock him bz moving. THE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET all called at the Waite House early this morn- ing. Secretary Windom was the first to appear. He remained a short time, and came away with | Joy in his face. Each Cabinet officer, as he came down the stairs, was spoken to by THE Stak reporter, and all of them not only showed relief in thelr faces, but expressed hope of the brightest by their voices. Secretary Lincoln apd Attorney General MacVeagh, who are gen- erally not demonstrative, this morning plainly showed the relief that they felt, and spoke in the most cheering words. ‘The members of the Cabinet callei at fre- quent intervals during the day, and then going back to attend to the business of their depart- ments. Sectetary Kirkwood intused a hope into ail who questioned him, SIR EDWARD THORNTON Was one of the ‘earliest visitors this morning. He called five times r. The other members of the diplomatic Seveasen ae Vag te Dezendorf, ‘a Brace, Judge Haran, Representative Wilson and Sen- ator Allison made early personal asto the President’ condition. ey, thoroughly unnerved, but he ts now somewhat | Teoovered. Senator Jones said to-day he did not believe there was any one in the country Who so thoroughly grieved over the outrageous act of the assassin. The Vice President will remain here until it {s announced that the President is entirely out of danger, and none will more gladly receive this announcement than he, THE CROWD IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE Stayed there all day. It was larger early this morning before the bulletin so favorable 1n all its words was issued. The Dulletin was tacked On to one of the trees in front of the house, and was read aloud by a big man with a loud voice. After hearing it and that no other bulletin Would be issued until one o'clock this afternoon, most of the people went away. A small knot of them, however, hung arotad, inc! or diminishing in size from hour fo hour. ‘hen the bulletin was read there was a cheerful mur- mur of voices, but no noise that could reach even a qnarter of the way up to the White House. There 18 no nolse back of the house; it ali comes from the travel on the avenue and 15th street. The President’s room is so situ- ated that not the faintest echo of these notses reach le e jai wd remain in Divouac a/ hepa els, dock so master gr green 0 cent trees, Their arms are stacked. PRESS FACT ITTES AT THE WHITE HOUSE. There is one thing about the management of the White House during the calamity that is commended on all sides. The facilities for gathering information have been as complete ag the representatives of the press could desire, Everybody 13 wiliing to answer questions. The amount of annoyance that the eager searchers for news cause bas been borne withont imp3- Uence. There is great anxiety on all sides to secure admission to the White House. This has wought to the front more people connected with the newspapers than ever was known be- fore in Washington. Many imposters have se- cured admission on account of an imaginary ecnnection with Koel owes People never heard. of before have turned up as newspaper mens The President's Life Insured for & 25.000. President Garfield recently took out a life Insurance policy for $25,000. Six weeks ago Mr. L. C. Hopkins, the western agent of the company, being in this city, took that amount on the life of the President. The President at first thought he would have a $50,000 policy, but finally settled down on half the amount. COL. ROCKWELL BELIEVES THE WORST 18 OVER. Col. Rockwell went home this morning after @ Dight’s watch at the President’s bedside, with joy In his heart and nope m histace, “Thank God,” he said to the Srar reporter, ‘1 belilve the worst is over.

Culter, who who was at the depot at the time of the shooting, and made the state- ment that two men,one of whom he believes to have been Guiteau, were in consultation before The shooting, has been in the custody of the police since Saturday. He was brought into Ube Criminal Court this morning, and gave his Personal recognizance to appear when neces- TAKING THE PICTURES. An artist from Frank Leslie's Mustrated Weekly has been in the city for the past two days. He has sketched the jail, the prisoner and bis ceil, the crowd in front of the White House, the appearance of the private secre- tary’s room up stairs, and has secured a phoio- graph of the sick room. He has even gone so far as to sketch the newspaper men wailing for neWs upstairs or assembled on the poreh b3- low, buttonholing every physician or Cabinet oificer who comes out. ANOTHER CRANKY INDIVIDUAL arrived in this city from Philadelphia this HoOrbing, “to look after this case of President Garfield,” he says. His name is Daniel C. Mc- Namara.

Mrs. Garfleid is the only person, except the doctors and nurses, and General Swaim, who is allowed to enter the President's room at will. The other ladles, wives of the Cabinet officers and intimate friends, are permitted an occasional visit to the Toom, one or two at a time. Whenever Mrs, Garfield goes Into the room the President wel- comes her with a smile, and she iovariably speaks to him encouragingiy. The children bear up with the same sort of heroism that is displayed by their parents. The surgeons do not remain continuously in the Prestdent’s room. They can, 80 they say, judge better of the case by remaining away from the Prest- dent, except when they make an examination, and then they compare his condition with what it was at the time of their last previous visit tohim. They could not note changes so well Should they remain by his side all the time. A good portion of the time one of the ladies ts allowed to stayin the room to fan the Preai- dent. Mrs. Blaine frequently relieves Mrs. MacVeagh at the bedside, and she in turn is re- Heved by one of the other ladies, A Quiet Afternoon at the White Home. or ‘This afternoon was the quietest that has been Spent at the White House since the shooting. Very tew people called. A quiet, even more Profound—if possible—is enjoined in and about the sick room. Nobody is allowed to see the think the crisis has been passed.

BRYAN? Yesterday, the superintendent of the money order department of the post office recalled the fact that Guiteau had been tn that office on Several occasions. Col. Ainger concluded to have an Investigation made for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not Guiteau had re- | ceived any money orders. The files and rec- | ords of the money order office were examined | for several months back, and it was found that Gulteau had had one money order cashed in j bis proper name. This order was issued by the | New York city post office on the 25:h day of | last March to Charles A. Bryan, and in favor of | Charles J. Guiteau. The order was for #25, and | it was cashed here in Washiegton on the 29th | of March, Guiteau himself drawing the money. "| ‘The New York city post office authorities have | been Informed of this order, and they will pro- ceed to find out who Charles A. Bryan ts and | for what purpose he was sending Gulteau money. As Gulteau was urgently applying for & government appointment in the latter part of Marcb, it is hardly to be supposed that he had then conceived the idea of assass'nating the President. A registered letter, addressed to Charles F. Ganter, was received at this post office within the last few weeks, and delivered, With the exception of the money order from Bryan, this registered letter contained the nearest name to Guiteau that could be found on the records. “Charlies J Guitean, Assassin.” Aletter was received at the post office In this city last night addressed to “Charles J Gulteau, assassin, Capitol prison, Washington, D.C.” The postmark shows thst the letter was malied at Boston. A dark line is drawn around the edges of the envelope with a pen, giving It the appearance of mourning. Guiteau’s Commitment to Jai IT WAS REGULARLY ISSURD BY JUDGE SN&LI. It bas been stated that District Attorney Corkhill committed Guitesu to jail Saturday morning, but the facts of the case are that about fif.een minutes after the shooting of the | President Capt, Vernon, of the police force, came to the police court and stated that he had consulted Secretary Blaine as to tho proper | mode of proces aud was advised by Mr. Biaine to go to the Police Court and get a war- rant gom Judge Snell for assault and battery with Intent to kil. The warrant was sworn out by Capt. Vernon, and a commitment was Placed in his hands. Be immediately com- mitted Guiteau to jail on these papers, to await the result of the Presiden t's injuries. The Bullet. PROBABLY OBSTRUCTED BY THE CLOTRING— WHAT SUCH A CARTRIDGE WILL D9. “‘Tbat’s about the kind of bullet that was used,” said Mr. A. C. Stevens, of the Reming- ton Arms agency, toa Star reporter, speaking of the weapon with which the President was shot. He held up a big cartridge an inch long. It was 44 inch calibre, the ball weighed 200 grains and the charge was 1S grains of powder. “It is the largess size used in @ pistol,” contin- ued Mr. Stevens. “Its penetration is something wonderful. The pistol used is a strong-shooting Pistol. The cartridge is very ‘uctive, ang the wonder ig that it did not kill the President outright.” “I should think,” faid THE STaR man, “that the ball would have gone right through him.” “Probably it would Mf it bad not been for the clothing, which is an obstruction to the bullet, and then it may have been obstructed by the ribs. It is sup- posed that the bullet firat passed through and cutthe sleeve. Then it passed through the coat. So much clothing always obstructs a ball, Inthe army during the war cases were found where a ball had cut a patch out of the overcoat and carried it right into the wound With it.” “The bali was big enough,” said a young gunsmith at Peabody's, on 7ih street, *‘to have killed an ox. The only thing that stopped it was the boner. Such & cartridge would drive a ball clear through an inch board twloe a8 far as from here across the street.” ‘The Disagreeing Doctors. THE TROUBLE EXAGGERATED. The reported trouble among the President’s | cectors seems to have been exaggerated. It ap- pears that Certain physicians did criticise the mode cf treatment followed by Dr. Bliss. The Jatter, to assure Mra. Garfield, it is satd,placed | the names of a dozen of the most distinguished surgeons in the land, ina hat and at random drew three—Doctor Agnew, of Philadelphia; Gross, of the same city, and Hamilton. of New York. Dr. Bliss had these summoned to con- sult and give their opinion as to whether the treatment the President was undergoing was the proper one. Drs. Hamilton and Agnew arrived, had @ consuitation, and certified the treatment. Dr. Gross reached the city, but by some mishap his card, which was sent to the President's private secretary, Mr. Brown, aia not reach him, and he left for home without consulting with the others, Dector Bliss says the official bulletins of the President's Condition aré not rose-cblored, but represent his actuai condition based on an ex- examination made immediately in advance of their issue.

At this time he, however, felt under ali the clreum- stances'strongiy hopeful of recovery. What Geveral Grant Thinks, EXPERIENCE WITH WOUNDS OF A SINTIAR NATURE. A New York World correspondent at Long Branch yesterday asked General Grant what bad been the result in his expenence with Wounds of & character similar to that with Which the President suffers. “1 have known a Great many cases,” the General ts quoted as BIS saying, “of men shot very much in the same way where the ball was lodged where ft coald BOt De found.
