RECOVERING FROM YESTERDAY'S OPERATION. THE CONDITIONS AGAIN FAVORABLE, Notwithstanding the surgical operation which was performed upon the President yesterday, his condition to-day is by no means unfavorable. Throughout the night the patient slept natur- ally without the use of anodynes. This morning his temperature andregpiration have been higher than during any day since the relapse of two weeks ago. This, however, the doctors at- tribute to the etherization of yesterday. They feel hopeful that during to-day the pulse, tem- perature and respiration will again subside to the normal points. This morning the President was given liquid nourishment—milk, lime water and the Russian preparation of Koumiss.

The febrile rise of yesterday afternoon, slowly sub- sided during the night. This morning at 8:30 his pulse is 98; temperature, 99:8; and respira- tion, 19. Since yesterday afternoon, small quantities of liquid nourishment given at | short intervals have been retained, and. this morning larger quantities are being admin- istered without gastric disturbance. D. BLiss, J. J. Woopwarp, J. K. Barnes, Ropert ReEYBURN, D. Haves AGNEW. DR. REYBURN EXCEEDINGLY HOPEFUL. Dr. Reyburn, at 11:30 o'clock this morning came into the office of the private secretary and | said he felt exceedingly hopeful. he, “The | wound is now discharging through the new in- | cision and without the use of a drainage tube- The pus seems to come deep from the wound and is of a most healthy character. We use lint to keep the wound open. Indeed, the condition | is now so favorable that Dr. Agnew, the con- | sulting physician, thinks he will go home this afternoon.” 11:45 A.M.—AN UNFOUNDED REPORT CONTRADICTED | The President at this hour is resting comfort- | ably. He has taken nourishment quite freely during the morning, and relished it. Dr. Rey- burn says the pulse and temperature are at present perceptibly lower than when the morn- ing bulletin was issued, and he considers that the patient is progressing finely. He says there | is no cause for alarm whatever. Dr. Agnew considers the President’s condition to be very encouraging. The reports that the President is sinking are entirely unfounded. News reached the White House to-day throuzh | scores of interrogatories, that telegrams were sent hence last night stating that the condition of the President was extremely critical and that | death from exhaustion was feared. The attend- ing doctors can only regret that information of | | such a sensational and untruthful nature is | given publicity. DR. AGNEW SAYS “‘ALL IS RIGHT.” Private Secretary Brown at noon to-day said | that Dr. Agnew was entirely confident. He is satisfied with the surgical operation of y day, and the results have been fally as | able as could be wished. To use the words of the eminent surgeon, “It is al! right.” ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE to-day there was but little deviation from the | quiet which has recently prevailed. Private | Secretary Brown most of the time was in the ining the executive office. Major Pru- | den transacted the routine business. ‘There | were but few caliers except the Cabinet minis- ters and their ladies While the temperature and pulse of the Presi- dent early to-day.was not what the doctors had | | hoped for, yet throuzh the day the patient im- 1 rapidiy, and all the conditions were be- | worable. OFFICIAL BULLETIN—12.30 P. M. At the dressing of the President’s wound this morning, it was found that pus had been dis- | charging spontaneously and freely throuzh the | counter opening made yesterday. He has been quite comfortable this morning, and taken a lib- eral supply of liquid nourishment. His pulse is mperature, 99.7; respiration, 19. a.) J. K. Barne WARD, Rosert Reysurn, | D. Haves Ac i DR. AGNEW’S CONFIDENCE. | The above bulletin, it will be seen, shows an increased pulse over that of the morning, but a | | slightly reduced temperature. Dr. Agnew, it is | | reported. told Secretary Blaine last night that | during to-day and to-morrow he looked for a} | high pulse and temperature, but that after to- | morrow he expected a marked improvement in | the President’s condition. That he has faith in | his improvement is the fact that he left at two } o’clock this afternoon for Philadelphia. Dr. ; Hamilton. who is now in New York, will not re- turn entil Thursda; THE DOCTORS NOT CONCEALING ANY FACTS. Throughout the city to-day there was consid- erable apprehension. There was a feeling tl | the doctors are concealing some of the worst | features of the case. To a Star reporter Dr. | Reyburn said nothing was concealed from the | Public, and that the bulletins represented the | actual state of the case, there being no desire to | either rose color or misrepresent the facts. 2 P.M.—THE PRESIDENT SLEEPING. About two o'clock the President fell into a | sleep, which seemed peaceful. He makes no | complaints during the day and bears his inflic- | tion with true heroism. | SECRETARY BLAINE TO MINISTER LOWELL. The following was sent this afternoon: | “ Lowell, Minister, London: | At this hour, 2 p.m., the physicians give an encouraging report of the President’s condition. | Pulse and temperature slightly diminished since | morning; pus flowing freely; appetite improved. | He has been able to sleep with comfort, I ; his wounded side. (Signed) H Bir: 3 P.M.—WHAT THE PHYSICIA - At 3 o'clock this afternoon Drs. Reyburn and | Bliss were still on duty at the White House. They report the President to be as cheerful as could be expected uader the circumstances. ‘The fact that the new operation made yesterday allows the pus to be discharged without the use of the drainage tube is considered by the piyst- cians as good evidence that there will be no fur- | ther use for the knife. The unfavorable symp- | toms ofsto-day, in high pulse and temperature, j are sitributed entirely to the operation of yes- | terday. It izay be Thursday before the Presi | dent fully rallies from it; but that he will rally | ail the physicians unanimously declare, and of | afl persons they ought to know. Last NG's OFFICIAL, S©LLETIN. The following official bulletin was issué? 29st nigh Executive Mansion, 7 p.m.—After the last bulletin was tesued the President suffered some- what fora time from nausea due to the ether, but this has now subsided.

Guiteau has now been confined in jail over five weeks. It is rather a singular fact that no one has ever called upon him at the jail with a friendly purpose—that during his wanderings in this city he never made one friend who now manifests any substantial interest in him; that no letter has been received by Guiteau proffering him counsel or assistance. Such an absolute destitution of friends is something unprece- dented even in the case of the meanest crimi- nals. He has never asked to have anybody sent for. GUITEAU AND THE SOLDIERS. It will be remembered that he arranged when he planned the assassination of the President to be driven directly to the jail, hoping thereby to escape the popular fury. One of the letters which he had written was addressed to Gen. Sherman, and requested him to send troops to guard the jail. It is thought that he feels some comfort and security in having the soldiers about him. From what can be learned of his ideas, it is apparent that, in case the President had been killed, he never expected to suffer for the crime. He bad in his fanatical frenzy worked himself up to a pitch where he con- sidered it his duty to “remove” the President in order to make room for one, who in his opinion, would be more just to all parties. He thought that when the change was made people would come to look at the matter in the ame light, pen that he would be regarded as a public bene- | factor. Ts DIET. The officials at the jail state that Gniteau isa very tractable prisoner. The representations | frequently made that he is réstless and querulous | are not foufded on fact. His diet has been the subject of considerable newspaper comment. When he was first taken to the jail he suffered a little with a derangement of ‘the bowels, and at the suggestion of the jail physician, Dr. Young, he was given tea instead of cof- fee. Coffee, sweetened with molasses, is served to the prisoners as a rule,’ the molasses being administered as a laxative, as the prisoners get little exercise. In Guiteau’s case, the coffee was omitted from the bill of fare for awhile, but now he frequently asks for coffee and gets it. He evinces considerable interest. in his diet, but not more. than is customary with prisoners, and he does not complain. Wheat bread is served to the prisoners for breakfast and corn bread for dinner. When corn bread does not agree witha prisoner he is given wheat bread altogether. Kor the same reason that | tea was served instead of coffee, Guiteau was put on the “white bread” list. He seems to relish milk, and often asks for main objects of his life. He shows little concern ing except his meat. He anything is in better condition than when he was taken to the jail—a fact that speaks well for the cuisine of that institution. He is now ap- parently in excellent health, eats heartily and sleeps soundly. COMPOSED AND QUIET. He is more composed now and less nervous by his attendant, Ihe shown any some anxiety about the President's condition, | and hopes that he will recover.’ The prospect of | being punished for murder does not now secm | an agreeable one, as Guiteau evidently feels sat- isfied that the people would not now justify his act. He never hails prisoners ‘ing his cell to inquire for news about the sident, as he is | so separated from the other prisoners that none of the prisoners pass his cell. The prisoner that comes to the cell occasionally to clean up is closely watched by the guard. Guiteau. in e to commnnicate with the prisoners. He considers himself above them, and does not care for any association with them. He docs not regard himself as belonging to the criminal class THE PRESIDENT’S PORTRAIT REMOVED. The portrait of President Garfield and the other pictay which decked the wall of Gui- teau’s cell—having been left there by a former | prisoner of esthetic tastes—iave been removed | from the wall. They were taken down about | two weeks ago, when a new coat of whitewash Was put on the wall. The prisoner reads his Bible almost constantly. The warden asked him yesterday if he found anything new in the Bible, and he replied “I find many things that I like to read.” HIS LITERARY WORK. He has been reported as being. engaged in writing material forhis autobiography. These re- ports arose out of the fact that he was occupied for some time in writing points about himself— where he was born, places where he had lived, who his relatives were, &c., for the benefit of the authorities. He is farnished with paper and pen and ink when he wants towrite. Hecutec ok at first to use his time in revising his work led “Truth,” a sort of commentary upon the Bibl The greatest: ede of the only edition of this work ever published was destroyed by fire at the place where they were printed in Boston, Guiteau’s literary labor in Jail seems to have been confined to writing a new” preface for this work. He then gave up the task of revision. NOT COMMUNICATIVE. Since the first week of his eonfinement he has not made much allusion to the motives of his | crime. Then, before the excitement passed away, he frequently proclaimed himself as a “stalwart of the stalwarts,” and announced that is not now communicative—one reason being that he has no one to communicate with. The guards at the Jail do not care to converse with him. The soldiers are not permitted to. There are three reliefs at the jail, and consequently only three of the guards qyme in contact | with the prisoner. The soldier who does guard duty near the cell is relieved every six hours. It is doubtful now whether Guiteau would talk | to anyone about his crime. The District At- torneyand his stenographer used to visit him frequently. During the last week Col. Corkhill ; has not been there at all. Guitean has not ex- eee any desire to see him ‘or any one else. When he wants to talk about anything connected with his ‘Jatt? life ~er on ; any other subject he asks to have the warden, Gen. Crocker, to come to him. Hels said to bere- spectful in his language to all ns, and n | profane or abusive as has been published. ave known him to make use of a profane word,” said Warden Crocker toa Star reporter. “He is not that kind of a man.” The rule pro- | hibiting any intercourse with him by out- siders is still etrictly enforced.
