Guiteau Wants a Wife. “a CHRISTIAN LADY OF WEALTH AND GvOD FAMILY PREFERRE Guiteau, the assassin, yesterday had an inter- view with Mr. Bayley, an assistant District At- | torney, at the prisoner's request, but it appeared that he had asked it onl; | tal ly for an’ opportunity to uk. He appeared to be in excellent spirits,and inclined to joke, and having spruced himself up he remarked that he would like to get marrie d and wondered whether there were any ladies who | would accept his addressss. Mr. Bayley asked | what kind of girl he would like to have, and iteau answered that the lady must be a Christian lady of wealth and of a first-class family. NO LYNCHERS IN WASHINGTON.

NO MATERIAL CHANGE SINCE YESTERDAY. LOCATION OF THE BULLET. Last night was an uneventful and very quiet one for the President. The only feature out of the ordinary run of events since the President has commenced to improve from the last’ re- lapse was the rise in pulse and temperature, as shown by the evening bulletin. This rise was relatively consonant as regards those two symp- toms. It was explained by the announcement that there had been accumulated a quantity of pus since the handling of the gland in the morn- ing. The evening dressing resulted in the evac- uation of that pus, after which the slight fever subsided,and the pulse and temperature lowered with it. Later in the night the pulse again went up in accord with the history of the case. Early this morning the pulse went down again, and at the morning ex amination registered 102—two beats higher than yesterday morning. The President slept well. His sleep was perhaps a little less satisfactory than the night before, but so little less that it was almost imperceptible. The wound at the morning dressing was found to be in very good condition. After the examination followed the dressing. The gland discharged freely and the wound was evidently resuming its operation of granulation, which was suspended during the recent and most dangerous crisis. An accumu- lation of pus-in another place in the gland was apparent. ANOTHER INCISION was made to remove it. Dr. Bliss used the lancet and made a slight cut*in the neck below the jawbone, on the right side of the face. It was a very slight cut. It was followed by a dis- charge of healthy pus. After the new incision was made the opening was connected with the incision in the cheek by means of tubing, and the two cells were thoroughly washed out. This makes five outlets for matter from as many cells where the pus has gath- ered in the parotid gland. Four outlets were made by the doctors. The other was from the inward bursting and flow of pusthrough the ear. Every outlet, instead of being of a danger- ous tendency, is a very good sign. It is of great benefit to the patient to have the accumulated matter come out of the system. ANOTHER NOTABLE AND SATISFACTORY FEATURE was observed at the morning dressing. The gland was softer to the touch. It is softening in all its surface. The physicians would prob- ably say ‘the tumefaction is subsiding.” The patient was given this morning the usual liquid nourishment, and again he took milk toast—a small quantity. There is not yet noticeable any inerease in stréngth, but there is no loss. It is not expected that vitality will be increased for several days. but the mere fact that there is no loss is in itself at this time considered again. All the symptoms continue favorable. The morning bulletin was grateful to the public and to the household. It was as follows: Official Bulletin—8:30 a.m. THE PRESIDENT ABOUT THE SAME AS YESTERDAY MORNING. The President slept the greater part of the night. awakening at intervals, and retaining the liquid nourishment administered. His general condition this morning is about the same as at the same hour yesterday. Pulse 102, tempera- ture 98.5, respiration 18. [Signed by five surgeons.] 10:15 a. M. The President’s stomach still continues to perform its work satisfactorily, and the parotid swelling is progressing favorably. His pulse, temperature and respiration, as compared with yesterday morning, are about the same. On the continuance of these favorable symptoms another day of progress is predicted. THE PATIENT'S DIET—NO SOLID FOOD YET. The President has not been given any chicken or chicken broth yesterday or to-day. In his present condition it is not advisable to feed him on solids. The milk toast, which can hardly be termed a solid, and the very little chicken Jelly— the latter of which was administered yesterday afternoon—are the only things approaching the solid that has been given him. That form of food wiil not be returned to for some time yet. There 1s now considered to be no danger of the gland sloughing off. That danger was tobe feared before suppuration set in, but is not now ap- prehended. The right side of the face, althouch the inflammation has gone down, is still much swollen. After the morning dressing there was during the forenoon a rise inthe pulse. From 102 it went up to 110, and hung about there. An Interview To-day with Dr. Boynton. THE MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN THE PRESIDENT’S CONDITION. When Dr. Boynton is interviewed sitting he throws his left leg over the right, talks in direct answer to a question, and teels his side whiskers with the left hand. In such an attitude and in such manner he talked with Tue Star man to- day. “How was last night passed ?” asked the re- porter. “The President was a little more restless than the night before, but on the whole it was a good night. The latter part of the night was passed very well. The pulse ran up during the night, but not as high as the night before. I do not know even about the exact figures, as I did not take it.” “ How is the gland?” “ The gland is much better. There has beena large discharge from it this morning. Dr. Bliss made another incision, from which more than a full tablespoonful of pus came forth. The cayit where It was secreted was well washed out. From all of the other outlets the discharge was pretty free.” “And thecondition of the wound?” “There is not very much change. There is a little improvement in its condition. Granula- tion ge n renewed, but not to any material extent.” dition to-day is as good The President's co: as it was yesterday ” “Fully as good. Perhaps there is some im- provement. There has been no material gain of strength. There has been no marked qghange over yesterday.’ “Since the recent crisis has there been an im- provement, do you think?” “Yes, I think we might say there has been a marked improvement. THE PATIENT'S APPETITE GOOD. ‘Is there any truth in a report which hasbeen circulated that the President has lost appetite and food has to be forced upon him?” . “There is not. He takes his food with fully as good relish as at any time of his illness.” “Is he talkative now?” e ae he does bap converse much.” ‘Is any change in condition e: “No marked is that we can expect is that he will, CONTINUE TO HOLD HIS OWN for a few days.

I would not make any definite prediction.” “Do the other surgeons hold the same opinion mdo about final recov: ‘As far as I know they do, but for mare definite information you had/better apply to them.” The Oficial Bulletin—12:30 p, m. A RISE OF PULSE SINCE MORNING. At the morning dressing another small inci- sion was made in the lower part of the swelling on the right side of the President’s face, which was followed by a free disebarge of healthy looking pus. A similar discharge took place through the other openings. ‘The swelling is perceptibly smaller and lodks better. The wound remains in an unchanged condition. There has been little rise of temperature since morning, but the pulse is more frequent. In other respects the condition is about the same. Pulse 116, temperature 98.9, respiration 18. [Signed by five surgeons, Dr. Hamilton be- ing absent.] The cause of the rise of pulse noticed in this bulletin is attributed to the incision made this morning and the disturbance caused by the Squeezing necessary to exude the pus. 1.30 P. M.A LESS RAPID PULSE. Within three-quarters of. an hour after the is- suance of the 12.30 bulletin the President’s pulse was taken, and showed that it had gone down to where it was during the forenoon. It went down to110. Col. Rockwell says that the Pres- ident’s hair has not got any grayer, but that he imagines that the gray has a little more white in it. THE PAROTID SWELLING. The President complains some this afternoon of the sensitiveness of the swollen side of his face. That the swelling is diminishing is evi- dent. Theincisions made in the face are washed out with permanganese of potash. The con- nection between the two incisions heretofore noted is made by means of a probe under the flesh of course. A flow of permanganese potash through the probe thoroughly cleanses the two connected cavities. THE SHIFTING OF THE POSITIWN OF THE BALL. There has been within the past few days a slight shifting in the position of the ball. It has worked its way downward a little. This can be told by feeling upon the outward portion of the anterior wall of the stomach. The hard resistance heretofore met with in pressing upon that part of the stomach where the ball was lo- cated, has disappeared, and the fact is apparent that it has made a downward movement. This progress has been slight. It is thought | that the change in the locality of the ball might have been the cause of the recent favorable change in the President's condition. A report has been circulated to some extent that the ball was passed through the rec- tum last Saturday. It has not been passed. Dr. Bliss says that if the ball.is taken out it will require a surgical operation. Another report that is circulated is that the ball is in the ree- tum; that it was lodged there im the first place, and the physicians mis-locate@)it or that it has worked its way backward into the abdominal cavity, and is now lodged in the less dangerous locality, the rectum. Both of the reports are pronounced as untrue as the report thatthe ball has been passed. But it is a faet that there has been a slight change in the locality of the bul- let. Dr. Reyburn some years ago had a case in which the patient (shot during the war) carried the ball in the abdominal cavity for years, be- coming reduced to a skeleton. The bullet finally was located near the rectum, and it was removed and the patient recovered, becoming a robust man. 2 P. M.—WHAT COL. ROCKWELL SaYs. In reply to questions Col. Rockwell said to a reporter of the Associated Press this after- noon that the President’s condition to-day has been about as it was yesterday. He has fully held his own, but has not gained perceptibly in strength. No especial importance is attached to the high pulse shown by the noon bulletin. It is attributed principally to the irritation caused by the cutting of the parotid swelling this morning. “As long,” Col. Rockwell said, “as the gland continues to be a source of almost. constant disturbance we must expect these fluctuations of pulse. Sinee the noon bulletin, however, the President’s pulse has gone down again to 110. We think that he is doing well.” 3 p.m.—No Change. At 3 o'clock there was nothing new to note in the President's. condition. He has slept some during the day and has taken the usual amount of nourishment. Dr. Bliss has just said that he consid < the President's condition as keeping at the satis- factory point. He is no wosse than yesterday. His pulse has fluctuete@ more to-day than yesterday. Very few peéle have been at the White House. MRS. GARFIELD’S METHOD OF MAKING BEEF TEA. As heretofore stated in Tue Star, Mrs. Gar- field preparesthe beef extract that is now ad- ministered to the President. Her husband likes her handiwork better than the already prepared article. The preparation which Mrs. Garfield gets up is made by taking one pound of lean beef, and cutting it up fine. The beef particles are then put in one pint of cold water and six drops of muriatic acid are added. After being thoroughly mixed it is allowed to stand onehour and then strained and pressed until all theliquid is extracted. MRS. GARFIELD does not spend all her time in the sick room now. She is, however, there during the greater portion of the day. WANTS TO CURE THE PRESIDENT BY ANIMAL MAGNETISM. Captain Blanchard, of Brooklyn, N. Y., was in the city yesterday making an offer to cure the President. He has been a sea captain. His particular method of cure is by animal mag- netism. He isa big strong man. and said that he had cured many cases signply by handling the body and impagting to it animal magnetism. He only wanted to see the Presidentan hour a day and promised after a week or ten days’ opera- tion to put him out of danger. There haye been a number of offers of a somewhat similar char- ae made. Allof them are rejected with LIBERIA’S EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY. Intelligence of the shooting of President Gar- field produced a profound sengation at the several civilized settlements along the west coast of Africa. The feeling in Liberia was intense, Promptly finding expression inthe following by order of President Gardner: “ DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Mo: Sir:—1 am directed by fixe Jeb. knowledge the receij idaho the arti and to express te deep Sh and to e3 e let experienced at the: “ earn President. his hope valuable life. sas saree I have the honor to be, sir, servant, G.W. G Seoretary it Garfield, ‘which the Preai- Marshal - "s Words of it te esis Encouragement to The following is Marshal Henry's report as sent to the Cleveland Leader last night: EXEcUTIVE Mansion, August 29, 1881—9 p.m. To Frie in Ohio: * The improved symptoms I spoke of last night at this hour have been continued throughout the night and to-day. The swelling in the right side of the face forward and below the ear has discharged quite freely during the day, and especially about sunset. The doctors appear to feel contident that they are nearly through with that trouble. Like an enormous carbuncle it had for days caused intense pain to the already exbausted patient. At times he could not re- press a moan with each breath. The fevered vitiated blood going past this into the head caused the brain to wander at times until the iron will could regain its power over the faculties. So the struggle continued for severaldays. The whole strength of will power exhausted to keep Teason enthroned for a little time, and still the brain worced on. It was for a few day: long weary nights of pain a terrible fight with fearful odds against the feeble, wounded man. His vitality, preserved through life by correct habits, now came to its aid and Garfield won, as he had in a hundred conflicts before. The mind is now bright and clear and the ugly sore near the ear hos spent its force. This morning about 3 o'clock the Presi@ent awoke and made some effort to clear his throatfrom the mucus that had accumulated from the swollen gland. Dr. Boyn- ton, who is with himaimost constantly, night and day assisted him in the effort. The President tremarked: must we stop att referred to the pa » on the road to recovery Bliss a few inutes ago. Said I, “Doctor, I am flooded with telegrams and letters asking about the act condition of the Pi dent; what shall I say to-night?” Said he ‘ou can say that the case is on a higher plane toward re- covery. The President did splendidly to- day, the stomach is working well, the parotid swelling is discharging freely and the general symptoms are improved.” off with an emphatic and con head, “He is going to get well. have not been in the sick room to-day, although they wanted very much to see their father. they think they will go in and see him in th morning. I mention this fact to remind th reader that amid all the hopeful, rosy reports the President is still weak and feeble, and that no little accident or incident should endanger the chance of recovery. Careful nursing is Te- quired from this on more than surgical science. The doctors and nurses. say the President has been more cheerful to-day than yesterday. I saw Mrs. Garileld to-d: ist as she was com- ident nod of the The children pleting a letter to the Pre ut’s mother. She wore the same cheery look of sunshine, but is not enthusi: me of the papers have Bi as stated, about the favorable symptoms and im- provement of the President. She is thoughtful, watehful, careful and cheerful, but. not entha- siastic. She asked me yesterday if the Presi- dent’s old regiment would hold its reunion this year and where. I replied at Galion, O., the 2ist inst. She seemed pleased and said’ the President did not like to have such meeting put off on his account. To sum up, I think th points of great danger are now nearly passed. THE TALLAPOOSA ORDERED TO WASHINGTON. The fact that the Tallapoosa has been ordered to this city and_ is now en route from New York revives the statement that it is the intention of the attending surgeons to remove the President to that vessel for a_sea trip just as soon as it is thought to be practicable to do so. WHAT DR. BLISS SAID LAST IT. In an interview with a reporter of the Asso- ciated Press, during the preparation of the evening bulletin, Dr. Bliss replied to questions as follows: “What do yor think of the condition of the Feesident to-night?” “He is better. Almost every rn shows improvement to a greater or less de- "ec. “How are his pulse and temperature?” “His pulse is the same_as last night, 110; his fever is a little higher. It did not come on so early as yesterday, but there isa trifle more of it. Ido not regard that fact, however, as hay- ing any great importance. It is easily enough accounted for. “In what w: J “There was a good deal of confined pus in the parotid swelling. The patient is very sen- sitive to the influence of retained pus. As soon as pus accumulates anywhere his temperature shows it. We got it pretty much all out at the evening dressing, but it had already had its effect. The fever will soon subside now.” “How does the glandular swelling look?” “Better than at any time heretofore; better than I expected it would this morning.

Is such the case?” “Yer; think the ball is making its way down deeper into the cavity of the pelvis; prob- ably in the direction of the rectum.’ “How do you know this?” “We don't know it, but we think so, and we base our opinion partly on the evidence of | touch and partly on the patient's own sensa- | tion.” “Do you regard this downward movement of the ball as an unfavorable circumstance ?” Not at all; rather the contrary. It is very likely that that ball will have to come out some time, and we ean get at it inthe part of the body toward which it is going as well as we could in its original location.” At 11.30 last night Dr. Bliss reported the Pres- ident’s pulse to be about 108. DR. HAMILTON EXPLAINS. A dispatch from New York quotes Dr. Hamil- ton as saying that he should hereafter exact of. every reporter a copy of what he said before the latter left. He had found sayings quoted that he had never uttered, and if he found that the reporter made use of any expression beyond the copy left he should not accord him a second interview. The reporter then asked: “Are you reported correctly in an evening paper to-day that you had no doubt whatever but that the President weld recoyer ?” Dr. Hamilton. sir. I would not say that of any patient, and much less of the Pre: dent. of whose case it is peculiarly difficult to make a safe prognosis. The reporter misunder- stood me. I said I believed he would get well, but that belief is not an absolute assurance. It is simply my faith.” SECRETARY BLAINE’S DISPATCH LAST NIGHT. Secretary Blaine sent the following telegram to ister Lowell last night: At half-past ten to-night the general condi- tion ot the President is favorable. Late in the af- ternoon his pulse rose to 112 and his temperature to 100, both a little higher than the surgeons expected. Pulse nas now fallen to 108 and fever is subsiding. The parotic swelling is steadily improving and is at last diminishing in size. ~Apprehensions of serious blood-poisoning grow less every hour. LAST NIGHT'S BULLETIN.

Hamilton said_ yesterday to a reporter that he was decidedly of the belief that the Pre- ident will get well. He was not prepared to say upon what he bised his belief, as he did not | care to furnish grounds for discussion, but he considered that his grounds were sufficient to justify his feeling on the subject. As to the possibility of the President resisting | another relapse in his present enfeebled condition, Dr. Hamilton did not care to say anything. He did not believe that the re- | lapses So far can be attributed to the ball, but he said he did not care to discuss at this point the advisability of removing the ball. There is no trouble with the lungs, he said, nor has th been the slightest evidence of the presence of ther in the groin or the joints. The paro- TWENTY TO PORTY LIVES LOST AT PORT ROTAT.
