The Comet’s Eccentricities. HOW IT LOOKS TO THE ASTRONOMSRS—A SPLIT CONFIDENTLY BXPRCTED. “I.am here again,” said Taz Stak man, throwing his note-book down on Professor Skinner's desk at the Observatory. “I want to find out about the split In the comet.” “I believe Mr. Rock took the last observa tion,” said Professor Skinner, so the reporter hunted up Astronomer Rock. Mr. Rock took out Lis observation book, and, opening it be- fore the reporter, said: “That shows the res 1lts Of my observation.” ‘The reporter glanced over the figures and looked as wise and knowing as posettie. "The observation was taken night fore last about half-past twelve o'clock when the comet was at its lower culmination. That is the way it looked.” Mr. Rock here potated ‘0 a little sketch representing the hazy coma of tLe comet with a little nucieu3 having a tail of a pollywog shape inside of it. “There was,” he said, ‘a bright tongue of light about 15 ge2- os¢sof an arc long,cxtendiugfrom the nucieus In the direction of the tail, wits a bright spot of light, or an apparent nucleus near the end, The streak wae curved to the right. Before that time, “continued Mr. ek,” this had never been observed. This is a new feature, At the Cincinnati observatory, I be- eve it was towards morning when It was dis- covered.” “The comet has not split then?” “No. The line of light wascontinuous. it jbably indicates that the nucleus is separat- ing. We are apxious to observe It to-night if it Is clear enough to see. It is very likely that this line will separate from the nucleus.” ‘The tall of the comet, Mr. Rock explained, as it travelled away from the earth was fore- shortening and growing dim Soon the tail would be on the side of the comet away from theearth. Then tt would appear to us just like @speck of light surrot by a haze. The astronomers were unable to get any observa- tons last night on account of the clouds. “Have you obtained anything new by the spectroscope?” the reporter inqutred of Prof. Harkness, “Nothing new. It is the ordinary comet spectum. In fact. there 1s nothing néw abou! the comet af ail. This breaking up is not new thing. Itis only following the example of other comet.

Unofficial Bulletin—1 P.¥.—The Hise In Pulse and Temperature Accounted For. ‘The slight Increase in the pulse and tempera- ture of the President since morning Isattrib- uted by the attending surgeons to the heat of noon and to the process of suppuration which ig now going on in the wound, near the sur- face of the body. This process, which 1s ac- companied by a slight discharge of pus, is entirely natural, and is an expected and necessary result of the injury at this stage of the case, DRESSING THE WOUND. Between twelve and one o'clock to-day the attending surgeons dressed the Presideat’s wound. They made a careful examination at the time and agreed that it 1s doing admirably. All the in¢ications of thé wound itself were re- assuring, and added to the hope that ts felt of final recovery. Dr. Biiss eaid this afternoon that from now on the President’s wound would bo dressed twiceaday. Heretofore it has been dressed but once. This additional dressing will bo given on account of the appearance of the pus. ‘The discharge of matter from the wound go far has been about tweaty or thirty drops. It is a very healthy pus. It apparently comes from hear the mouth of the wound. Ice is always used in dressing the wound. 3 0°clock—The President’s Condition Still Satisfactory. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the President’s condition continues fully as satisfactory as ate the last official bulletin. There is no indica- ton of either secondary inflammation or blood poisoning. The physicians continue to give the most favorable reports as they come from the sick room. Dr. Reyburn wa3 relieved this afternoon for afew hours.

They give the President all the attention he needs, Without being constantly on hand In fear that an upfavorable turn may come. Dr. Reyburn Was thts morning at 11 o'clock the only physi- clan in attendance. The others left the White Houee after the examination upon which the §:30 bulletin was issued had been made. Mrs Garfield this morning, for the first time since her arrival from Long Branch, left the White House. She went out with Mrs. Corbin for a @rive, Miss Molite Garfield and Harry Garfield algo took a drive this morning. ‘A QUIBT DAY IN THE BXECUTIVE MANSION. To-day, was the quietest that the White House has seen since last Friday, The neces- sity for guarded gates would seem to have dis appeared. Very few people want to come in side the grounds. The bulletins and other as Surances of the President’s improvement have encouraged everybody to believe that the Pres- ident will live. Nobody new fears the contra- ry. Outside of a few callars, who came to ask pereonally about the President, and a halt dozen newspaper men, there were no callers at the house. The majl continues to be largs, composed of a very fair proportion of letters with medical advice and recommendations, More patent medicines and fine old liquors were receives to-day. 3 OFFICIAL BUSINESS ON THE PRESIDENTS MIND, The President this afternoon got a talkative mood on him. His attendants would allow him to say but little. He wanted to talk busi- ness, and got sofaras to say, “There have been two or three things on my mind—” Col, Rockwell, who was in the room, stopped him, and would not allow him to converse in the least about any-official business. ‘THE APPARATUS FOR COOLING THE SICK ROOM, which arrived yesterday afternoon, was tried, but found to be unsatisfactory. It was worked by electricity, but sufficient force could not be secured. The battery from the Western Union wires was turned on, but it did not farnish sufficient generating force. Mr. Jennings, of Bosten, who came on with the apparatus, lett to-day with it. This morning Mr. Childs, of the Government Printing Office, brought up a machine which had been in use there for cool- ing the press-room. The only objection that was found to it atthe printing office was that it made things too coal. This apparatus was put up in the room occupied by Gen. Swaim. It wiil be tested by the doctors to-day, and if found satisfactory will be used in the Pres!- dent’s room. . COOLING BY COMPRESSED AIR. Secretary Blaine to-day took Prot. Dorsey to the White House, The Professor 1s from the west and knows all about the manner in which the temperature is lowered in the western mines. He proposes to reduce the temperature by the compression and exhaustion of air. “If you compress eight feet of -air into one foot,” gaid Professor Dorsey to THe Srak reporter, “you reduce that temperature to freezing Point. That's the plan I recommend.” He was given cel ict on the commandant oh the Davy yard for the lances and ap- ELE Gee pee Pt Wil House to-day from Philadelphia AN ELECTRICAL FAN. ‘There are two blades to it, neither of which is over eight inches long. It is worked by electricity. Its great advantage is in the rapid revolution caused by the use of electricity as a Motive power. The doctors do not want to put into operation any plan that in cooling tue room would cause drafts of cold air to pass upon the Prealdent. All these appliances, Which seem toat they might be successful in lowering the temperature, will be tried in Gea.

A PAINFUL REMINISCENCE OF LAST 8ATURDAY. When the President was being carried from theambulance to his room he recognized, as Was goipg to have days before that set for the Starting out. He went into his boys’ room early Saturday morning and awoke them sud- deniy: “Get up, you lezy fellows,” he said. “Jump out of ded to fix up for starting. We are going to have meplendia. time. We are golug to have a glorious trip.” Secretary B.aine Grove with the President to the depot. A = tleman who saw the cartilage turn down 10th Street sald to-day to the reporter, “Blaine was sitting on the President’s ht. He had. his lett _hand en the President's Knee, and by the expression of both their faces was telling some pleasant story or other. The President had both his feet in the seat infront. He hada Cigar in the left corner of his mouth, and was blowing the smoke out steadily. He looked just like a man who was etarting out on a Dic- hic and expected to have a jolly good time.” Which Shot Was Effective? A NEW QUESTION RAISED IN THE MIND OF THR DISTRICR. ATTORNEY—ODDITIES AMONG THE WITNESSES. “Is there any doubt,” asked a Stak reporter of Col. Corkhill to-day, ‘whether there were two shots fired by Guiteau?” “There ig no doubt that two shots were fired. 1 4m not satisfied which shot was the effective one—whether it was the first or second.” “Have you found the place yet where the odd shot struck?” “0.” “Is there anything new at ali?” “I have taken to-day three or four state- ments detailing the circumstances of the shoot- ing, which are more accurate than any that have been given before. There 1s some ques- ‘tion as to who was the first to take hold of the of the depot down to 101 nd he indicated exactiy the different points of interest. ‘There is also & question, as I stated, a8 to which shoc was the effective one.” “‘ Which shot cut the President's coat sleeve?” “That 1s algo a question. I have not seen the President’s coat yet. It 1s a rather singular fact that out of the statements of twelve or fifteen persons who saw the shooting hardly two of them agree in all the material points. Now, this morning one man stated that there were three or four minutes between the time the President entered the depot and when Mr. Blaine came. I asked him to show me how far apart they were, and the difference in time was really not two seconds. Here,” said the Colonel, litting a piece of paper, “Is a man who makeg a statement about the shoot- ing. He says at the bottom ‘Don’t give this to the reporters,’ There seems to be an anxiety among these people not to have their names Mentioned. One of them does not want to bea witness, for, he says, ‘they will kill bim.’ He seems to think there is a sort of association of nibilists to whom Guiteau belonged who will take his life if he testifies against Guiteau,” What Chief Brooks Says About Guitean. HE THINKS HIM. A FANATIC, BUT NOT A LUNATIC. A Stak reporter found Chief Brooks, of the Treasury secret service, rather relutant to talk, a8 he sald he disliked to see his name in the papers in connection with the matter. In answer to a direct question regarding the theory of a conspiracy, Major Brooks said: “That theory has been exploded. I have not from the first believed it. It is a premature opinion of mine, as you see, and I do not want te appear as though I was forestalling public opinion. The earliest eyldence produced tended to show—and all subsequent investiga- ton has tended to confirm tt—that there was no one knew of the intended assassination but Quiteau himself.” “Have not the secret service mef been at ‘work on the case?” “Our investigations are about over. We have looked over the whole fleld. Tnere is really nothing that has not been published in the case except the name of the unfortunate entleman, ‘who, through mistaken benevo- lence, lent Guiteau the money, believing that it was to help him his board. This would probably be of no riance fo any one ex- cept that genuleman himself To make it puo ie would doing @ great wrong.

The Preatdent craves ice water, but the Physicians will not allow him ali ‘he wants. Atter Steward Crump had given the President some chicken broth yesterday, the latter sald, “Well, Crump, I have had the bi next—medicine—water?” Crump looked du- bious. Again the President said, “Crump, there are three courses—broth, medicine and “‘As I stated the news} have printed every- thing about it. They have got everything in tome way.

The Articles Found on Guiteau. 48 TO HIS PAPERS, PISTOL, ETC. Those who have knowledge of the papers taken from Guiteau state uhat there is nothing among them worthy of noifce. The letter found in his pocket and published in Tuk Stan the day of his arrest is the most signin. cant, a8 it states what his purpose was—to unite the republican party, «2. Qne of the papers round in the ackage left at the news stand in the allroad ‘station, which Mr. Corkhill_ tock away with the pistol from Lieut, Ecklofl’s office at ce headquarters, States that he desired to have all bts papers age in the newspapers, as it would have e@ effect of creating a sale of his book on “Truth,” a sort of appendix to the Bi- ble. Another paper is a rinted cam document entitled “James A. Gar- feldand W. S. Hancock.” This he claims to have written, and afterwards delivered as a Speech in several western towns. It was in favor of Garfield’s election, and for this service he claimed a consulship in Austria, Severai other papers found in the package set forth the purpose inepired in him of killing the President tounite the republican party; that 1t was a po- litical necessity which would be recognized by all. He had but twenty cents In money on his Person—two silver ten cent pieces—which, with the pistol and papers, were placed in a drawer or Lieutenant Eckiofl’s desk, and while that officer was absent from his ollice to accompany the assassin to jail, Col. Corkhil! cailed at police headquarters and took ail tac articles which were taken irom Guiteau away with him.

Loxpos, July S.—The Lanor leading mea- ical journal of London, says:—Tbe accounts of Ube condition of Mr. Garfield ave on the whole satistactory.

The liver, if wounded, can hardiy have been extensively lacerated. If Mr. Garfield survives the ie of the bext few days, and the bullet can be ex- tracted, there can be no medical reason, at least arising cut of the general character of hia in- juries, why he sould not do well. The Times, this morning, in an editorial. says: Whether the author of the attack on President Garfeld is a lunatic or merely a morbid brooder on imagivary wrongs, there 1s no doubt that his crime will do more than volumes of argument to \urp the attention of Americans to the weak - poiuts of Uneir political system. a ieeeneae THE ALBANY CONTEST, The Voting To-Day.
