I came here spe- Clally to ascertain from personal communica- ton with friends at the White House the Pres- ident’s condition, and also to attend to im- portant official business at the Internal Rev- enue department. I have no knowledge of the reported meeting of a delegation from Virginia favorable to the Treadjusters, and if a call has been made, or contemplated by aby person or persons Claim- ing to represent the readjusters, I know nothing about it, nor do | belfeve any such call bas been made, 1 ask that you publish this ag &@ matter of justice to me.

THEIK AYPEARANCE HERE TOGETHER AN ACCI- DENTAL COINCIDENCE, WASHINGTON, D.C., July 7, 1381, Elitor of The Evenias Star: Tn your issue of yesterday evening you stated | that ‘Senator Lewis, candidate for leuten- ant-governor on the readjuster ticket in Vir- ginla, Col. Brady, United States collector at Petersburs, ana Capt. Riddleberger, all promt. nent readjusters, are in the city for the pur- pose of consulting with Secretary Blaine in regard to Virginia politics,” You then give what purports to be an interview with Mr. Lewis on the situation In his state. I know these gentlemen personally and well. 1 know they entertained for the President a profound regard, and that they feel for him and his family deep and sincere sympathy in the ap- palling calamity which has befallen them. But were they totally devoid of such feeling, com- mon decency and propriety would preclude the possibility of their having come to Washington upon such an errand at this time. Their ap pearance here together was an accidental coin- cidence, and had no political significance what- ever. While here Messrs. Lewis and Brady calied | trequendly at the White House to make inquiry 1° oncerning the President’s condition. i You also report Mr. Lewis incorrectly, as say- ing that Major Yost, of the Vailey Virginian, | would refuse to support the action of the re- | publican convention should it.decide in favor of coalition. Mr. Lewis Knows perfectly well from Major Yost in person and tarough his paper that be will falthfally abide such dect- sion, and he did not make the statement attri- buted to bim. 1 am unwiiling to beleve that you wou'd in- ventionally do injustice to apy one, aud hence Task that you give tbls correction a piaze in your next issue. Very respectfully yours, Xc., CH. P. Laraan. P.S.—Mr, Lewis has heard that the son of Mejor Yost declares bis intention to ant bize coalition whether sustained by the repub- tean convention or not.

The rresident’s symptoms are probably less dangerous this morning than at any previous time since the shooting.

He dees not consider that the President 1s out of danger yet, but says he appears to be passing out of it as steadily and rapidly as can be ex- pected. Noon-Dr. Reyburn Says the President is Stl Improving. Dr. Reyburn sald at noon that the President ‘was still improving. His pulse had gone down, and Le was comfortable. His appetite was good. Hehad been given gruel this moruing, and ate it with a relish, and retained it on his stomach. It is the incilnation to grant the President's request for beefsteak. He will be given a little steak this afternoon. The Presl- dent, this morning, asked fer some oat meal. Dr. Boynton Thinks the President Will Get Through All Righht. Dr. Boynton, who attended Mrs. Garfeld during her illness, arrived in the city this morn- ing. He will be connected in an advisory capac. ity with the mangement of the Prestdent’s case- Dr. Boynton left Long Branch a few days ago for" Ohio to attend the President’s uncle, who had been injured while passing a ratirgad track in frant of a locomotive. Dr. Boynton says that he did not find the President In any better condition than he expected, as he had been kept well-ad- vised In the case. Tue President Is very weak- he says, but also very comfortabie. After he had been in the room some minutes, and had examined the patient, tne President said t him: “Well, doctor, what do you think?” Dr Boynton replied: “I think you will get tarougn allright.” “I hope I will,” the President an- swered. OFFICIAL BULLETIN-1 P.M. The President's Condition Contiaues Favorable. EXECUTIVE MANSION, 1 p.m., July 7. ‘The condition of tfe President continues quite as favorable as this morning. Pulse 100, temperature 1008, respiration 23, Unless some unfavorable change should occur, no further bulletin will be issued until $:30 p.m. {Signed} D, W, Buiss, J. K, BARNes, J. J. Woopwarp, ROBERT REYBURN. The Heat Quickens the President’s Pulse The heat of the day began to show on the President about ten o'clock this morning. His pulse began to beat a Mittle more rapidly, although he continued comfortable, At half- past one o'clock the pulse had increased six beats over thismorning. The heat éffects the President just as tt does everyone else. About sundown It Is thought that the pulse will begin to fallagain. 2:30 p m.—No Change Since the Official Bulletin, ‘The condition of the President has remained substantially unchanged since the date of the last Ollicial builetin. ‘the slight increase in pulse and temperature since morning ts sald by the attending physicians to be only the natural fluctuation of the fever from moratog until noon. The President has eatea chicken broth to-day and expressed a strong desire about noon for toast and oat meal with mtlk. The latter was given to him as probably the least objectionable kind of the solid food which he seemed to crave. 3 O°Clock .—Dr. Bliss Says the Ma- jority of Chances are Now in the Presidenv’s Favor. : Dr. Blis3 spoke more hopetully of the Prest- dent’s condition this afternoon at 3 o'clock than ever before. The President’s chances now are, he says, more than even. It has gone be- yond tLe even line, and now he has the major- ity of chane?s ia his favor. The ball, he says, weot in on a level, struck a riband deflected. Irthen went downward and struck the liver. “My opinion is,” &e continued, “that the ball went through the liver andisnow lodged against the anterior wall of the stomach. It was a very fortunate deflection. It made a good wound of It. There was very little dis- charge from the wound. We have no fear ofan abcess. Even if one’sheuld form, we would make it feed itself. The only dangers are from secondary hemorrhage and blood poison. The time for the first to show itself is now nearly over, and there 1s no sign of it. ‘There 1s no sign of either. The Prestdeat 13 a most admirable patient. Everything we tell him to do he does without any trouble at all. Even in the slightest detall ha obeys all our instructions, We gave him to-day a little Gat meal gruel and some chicken broth, We did not want to give him the gruel, but he was very anxions to have it. The reason we did not like much to give him oat meal was be cause at this stage we did not care about putting any glucose matter in bisstomach. He 13 in excellent condition and gains every hour. He wants to talk about official business, but we will not let him. He sald once that certain District matters were con- stantly on his mind, and he wanted to get rid of them, but we told him they were matters of very little importance and to let them pass. His will power and vitality are wonderful” Dr. Bitss said, in ag many words, that if the Presi- dent got through four days more the great danger was passed. He inspired those standing that the President’s condition justified the brightest hopes, WASHINGTON EXTRA! ming Star. Dispatch to the Consulting Phys- cians. PATIENT DOING AS WELL A3 COULD 35 BXPRECTED. The following dispatch was sent by the sur- geons In charge to the two consulting sur- geons: THE EXECUTIVE MANston, July 7—1 p.m. During the past twenty-four hours tne Pres- Ident has continued to improveslowly. As was anticipated, a sifght risa of temperature and slight intrease in the frequency of the pulse occurted during the afternoon and evening. At S30 p. m., the pulse was 104, perature 100.6, respiration 23 Bur {n accordance with this diurnal movement both pulse and temperature were again diminished this morning, and showed some improvement over yesterday at the same hour, At 9 a, m, the id Was 94, temperature 991, respiration 23. We anticipate, of course, a similar movement for some days to come,andsoto day fad atl p. m. the pulse, 100; temperature, 100.8: respiration,23 Last evening, at 9:30 p. m., a quarter of agrain of morphia sulphate was admintatered by poder mically and the President slept very well dur- ing the night. In addition to the chicken broth and albumen, he had yesterday after- noon a small quantity of scra) eef-ten- derloin, which, however, he did not relish very much. This morning he {s_ tak- ing oatmeal el and milk at in- tervals of two hours with relish, Yel- lowishness of the skin, so; common after wounds of the liver, developed to a slight de- gree auring the day yesterday, but is not more Tharked this morning. We do not attach a great deal of importance to this symptom, ex- Cept so far asto confirm the opinion already formedof the nature of the wound. Aitogether We feel that the patient has done as well as could reasonably have been expected up to the present time. and our hopes for his ultimate Tecovery are strengthened by the events of the last two days. D. W. Biss, J, K. BARNES, J.J. WoopwarD, Rost. ReyBcan, At the White House. A VERY QUIET TIME TO-DAY. It was very quiet at the White House to-day. It was a@ great deal quieter than before the President was shot. Except the Cabinet offi- cers and messengers trom the differen: depart- ments very few people called. Matters have dropped back to where they were before last Saturday. The clerks have goue to their regu- lar work; they have plenty of it 01 hand, though no new executive business {3 traus- acted. Except the registering of app2int- ments and the visits of hundreds of Cffice-seekers and others, the days at the White House are the same as a week ago. The White House has about the same appearance that it wears when the President 1s absent. The telegraph instrument 1s also quiet to-day. But few messages are sent or received. The physicians can now come and go without bein= stopped at every step, and questioned as to the Presidenv’s condition. DR, BLISS SAYS THE PRESIDENT 13 IMPROVING SLOWLY BUT SURELY. Dr. Bilss Js in the very best of spirits, He locks brighter, having managea to get some rest since the President bas taken a turn for the better. He said to Tae SraR reporter: “Everything is as nice as could be expected. The President passed a very good night, and ts better this morning. He continues to improve slowly but surely. His appetite continues good, and he is very cheerful.” z THE PRESIDENTS HUMOR, always bright and apt, has not deserted him. He makes humorous remarks now and then on Pleasant subjects, and quotes passages trom Shakespeare. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE SICK ROOM to-day was not as low as might have been de- sirabie, but the apartment was comfortable, An artificial appliance for lowerlng the temper- ature, which was put in last evening, works very satisfactorily. The lower edges of sheets are immersed in troughs filled witb water and ice. These sheets hang from the ceiling. The Weter saturates the fibrous material, and ke2p it wet allthe time, The evaporation ts rapid and the temperature {3 thus lowered. Ta- Sheets are suspended around the walls, Tu: president was MOVED FROM ONE BED 10 ANOTHER lastevening. The bed upon which he reste before the change was very side. There was some difficulty at timesiu reacting him. The bed On which he now rests ts corsiderably nar Tower. A new mattress {s upon it. Itis a hatr mattress, and is comfortably adjusted on epubae The President lies with ils head to the west. His bed is nearer the west wall than the middle of the room. ‘Two windows, open- ing south, admit the breezes from that quarter. He sald after being moved, that he felt more comfortable. OLD WINES AND LIQUORS, The store houses of the whole country are open to the President. Large packages, con- taining fine wines and Mquors, are received every day. Everybody who has some very old Wine, whisky or brandy is sending it to the White House “for the use of the President.” Some port wine, fifty years old, arrived this morning, One gentleman, in sending his con- Uibution of old wine, said that he was a tem- perance man. The wine had been placed in the family cellar thirty years ee by his father, he sald, and had never been touched. He hoped the President would accept it and find tt _ben- eficial. The President will soon havea large Stock of fine old wines and liquors. THR PATENT MEDICINE MAN Continues to hold hisown. Large quantities of patent medicines are received, with their heal- ing qualities fully set forth in the accompany- ing circulars. There is usually acard urging that the medicine be given a trial. The doctors received any number of suggestions, by tele- praph. 4s to treatment when the President was. rstshot. There has now been time for the mail advices to come in—and they do come it Dr. Bliss ts overwhelmed with recommend: Uons to use this or that remedy, and manage the Pres dent this way or that. Even Mrs. Gar- Held receives such advisory letters, A SCRAP BOOK FOR THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Morton, of the clerical force at the White House, is preparing a separate scrap book for the newspaper accounts ofthe shooting and dangerous illness. The different accounts are cut up and pasted in @ Mark Twain scrap book. ‘The editorial remarks and comments are scis- sored and put in alongside the velegrapnic ac- counts. Accounts of the public meett held are algo preserved, The literature of this char- acter will make a big volume, which it will take the President sometime to perase atter he sable to read. He has expressed a desire to have the reports of the calamity comments preserved. piel ay THE TELEGRAMS OF SYMPATHY which have been received will all be Preserved. They make a big collection. The telegrams from foreign governments and rulers §were nearly all addressed to Secretary Blaine. These will be kept in the records of the State depart— ment. Those recelved at the White House wiil be put in some convenient form that they wil be readily accessible to the reader, SYMPATHIZING CALLERS T0-pay, Secretaries Kirkwood, Hunt, Windom, Lin- coin, Blaine, Postmaster Genera) James, Attor- ney General MacVeagh, the Mexican Minister Gen.

One of the daily duttes at the White House ts the sending of telegrams to the President's rel- atives and immediate personal friends not in the city. Every day telegrams come from them, and they are answered. The news sent them to-day was even more encouraging than that of yesterday. ‘MISS MOLLIE GARFIELD Spends most of the time with Col. Rockwell's family in Corcoran street. She comes to the. White House every day, however, and spends some hours there, How the News of the Assassination Was First Heceivod at the White House. When the news of the shooting was first brought to the White House from the railroad depot last Saturday by a sergeant of the police, nobody would believe him. When Mr. Brown, ‘the President’s secretary, was told what the Teport was, he laughed and sald he guessed not. It was some minutes before the cail through the telephone at the White House was answered. Then the news was confirmed. Mr Brown turned to Sergeant Dinriaore and said quietly “You had better clos? up the house.” The doors were closed and perparations for Tecelving the President quietly were made. There was no excitement. THE PRESIDENT LIKES TO PALE to apy one who ls admitted to his room. He has been curbed all the time, but this afternoon Dr. Woodward took a sterner course with the Patient. He told the President that the ball had passed through his diaphragm and gone towards the liver, ‘* Every time you speak the diaphragm is exercised and the liver agitated somewhat. Youjmust keep as quiet as possibie.” The President sald that he saw the reason Was @ good one, and would talk no more than was absolutely necessary to make his wants known. WHAT DISTRICT ATTORNEY CORKH SAYS ABOUT GUITEAU, THE ASSASSINS DETAILED STATEMENT—COL. CORK- BILL SAYS GUITEAU IS RATIONAL AND SANE BIS ACT WAS A COLD-BLOODED MEDITATED AT- TEMPT AT MURDER. ‘The office of the District Attorney at the City Hail has always a busy look, but there appears to be unusual activity at present. Colonel Corkhill is closeted most the time with people Who call to confer with him. A Srag reporter caught him at a favorable moment to-day and asked him for the latest regarding Guiteau, the assassin, ‘Walt a miaute,” said the Colonel, as he proceeded to open some envelopes before him. “Iam in receipt of alarge number of letters every day on this subject. Hera, for instance,” continued the Colonel, holding up a letter, “isone from Huntingdon, Pa., asking, for a photograph, and here (pointing to two others) are two from Philadelphia.
