I believe in God and trust myself in his hands.” The meetings will be continued twice daily during the president’s critical condition. Secretary Blaine says he rejoices to say that the president is improving every minute. He has not seen the president since Saturday, but hears from him almost constantly. PRAYERS BEING OFFERED CHURCHES. WasHINGTON, July 6. —Prayer ser- vices are being held twice each day at the Vermont avenue church, at 12 noonand 7 p. m. These exercises haye been freely participated in not only by the members of all Christian demoninations, but by strangers in the city. Among those in attendance was Revs. Drs. Butler, Sunderland, and Reys. Merrick, Hobbs, Schell, Power and others. VENTILATING THE SICK ROOM. The physicians are still consider- ing the proposed plan of adopting the ‘‘ice process” for the ventilation of the president’s sick room, in the event of a long period of convales- cence. It is thought the patient’s comfort would be greatly enhanced by a steady temperature ‘in the room night and day. The advice of, several of the best physicians in the country has been asked on the sub- ject, and a general consultation will be held betore any steps are taken, No uncomfortableness on the part of the patient has prompted this movement, the idea being merely to lose no possible opportunity to n- crease J\e advantage the president now has over his injury. When the physicians make the examination reparatory to the issuance of official Eullefiua, no one else is allowed IN THE in the sick room except the professional nurse. In taking the temperature the patient has not had to be disturbed and whenever it is necessary to move him he makes no complaint. He sometimes asks for the result immediately after the examination and often expresses his own opinion, When told this morn- iu# that his pulse was 90, he said: “That's about normal, isn't it?" “Yes,” said the doctor, and the patient seemed satisfied. THE CALLERS TO-DAY, Among the callers to-day were Sir Edward Thornton and representa- tives of the French and Austrian leg- islations, and Senator Ben Harrison. General Sherman called to learn the news and eonsult in regard to mulitary and police arrangements. The chief of was also there, It was decided to pursue the present reg- ulations as long as the president's condition remains critical. AN ENCOURAGING FEATURE, One of the most encouraging features of the case is the president’s increasing appetite. After the con- cllionuftfu last examination he said to Dr. Bliss: ‘‘Doctor, don't to eat a you think I could manage small piece of beef steak?’ The doe- tor smiled and said he thought not why this should not be.* I always re- garded the soreness of the feet as en- tirely a ine ye to a laceration of the nerves in the back. The subsidence cannot be over-esti- mated as a sign in the president's fa- vor. A cessation of vomiting is also a very important advantage. The principal danger yet to be appre- hended is from peritonitis, and every hour that passes improves the presi- dent’s chances of escaping it. If he goes over to-night without the ap- pearance of this inflammation he ought | to recover. No one is with the president just now, 9:31 p. m, but Mrs. Dr. Edson, night. The physicians are within |] easy call. The president’s symptoms are unchanged. All the cabinet offi- Pearson to-day to explain the matter taking with him his letters, all letters who will sit up with him until mid- [he had received from Guiteau being panpany, he has personally secured the risk proposed to him by Mr. Gui- him just how he was. 8aid he had one chance in a thousand and it is the general belief that the president will keep his word in taking the chance. MORE ABOUT THAT NONLY ORDER, New York, July 6.—It was learned in Washington yesterday that the money order for $256 was cashed at the postoffice there on the 20th of March by Chas. J. Guiteau, in whose favor it was issued to Chas. A. Bryan, by the New York postoftice on the previous day. Mr. Bryan called on Postmastor ocal agent for the insurance com- bulletin and to cable the contents to their respective governments, The Spanish, Enghuh and Japanese min- isters have called in person sev- eral times during the day. Justice Harlan, of the supreme court, and Colonel Robert Ingersoll, were also among the callers in the evening. No one has been admitted to the president’s room except the physicians and the nurses. The president has been dissuaded from ta.H(ing or do- ing anything that would tend to disturb or excite him. The arrange- ments for reducing the temperature of the president’s room are only tem- porary and will be replaced in a day or two with the most approved refrigorating apparatus. They have proved very satisfactory in maintaining a latent and uniform temperature, A telegram has been sent to New York to-night for a pat- ent cooling apparatus, which consists of porous cloths suspended from a turbine wheel and moistened in ice tanks. It is expected to be ready for use to-morrow. TRYING TO LIE OUT OF IT, Guiteau denied that after the shoot- ing he said, “I am a stalwart and this makes Arthur president.” Officer Kearney, who made the arrest, wi asked about the matter and replies “If Guiteau says he did not use the language, he speaks a falschood.” The officer further said that if it was nec- essary he was would go before a notary public and take an oath that Guiteau !hd use the languageattributed to him. DID NOT TRY TO SHOOT BLAINE. There is abundent evidence fo dis- prove the story that has been circu- lated that after shooting the president Guiteau turned his revolver toward Secretary Blaine, with the evident intention of shooting him also, but was prevented by Benson, formerly of the secret service division, The story is denied by Ticket Agents Smith and Parke and others, who saw Guiteau shoot the president. They say that Benson instantly rasped Guiteau by the throat and re himto the ground. Mr. Parke says that Guiteau made no resistence whatever toward Becretary Blaine, and further, that no man caught the just at present. The presidents miled assassin by the throat and bore him cers and their ladies called at the ex- [teau and a money order ecutive mansion about 8 o'clock |was in the commission letters. and remained several hours.

AFTER VICE-PRESIDENT ARTHUR. ‘WasHINGEON, July 6.—The police officials here have becn called upon to investigate another case of a supposed would-be assasm. Last night a tall, ased man called at a house in ity of 14th and K streets, and enquired for a gentleman who did uot reside there. While conversing with the lady of the house he said he was a stranger here hunting for Vice- President Arthur, from New Ycrk, for the purpose of killing him, to off- set the killing of Garfield. He was excited and spoke so fiercely of his sanguinary intents, thatthe lady slam- med the door in his face, and the man disappeared. The case was reported to the superintendent of police whose ofticers are now looking for the man. It has been just learned that the district attorney has received from the Warden of the jail a letter from Guiteau directed to Vice- President Arthur. Tt appears that some one imformed Guiteau that the president was dead, and very shortly ]m asked for writing materials, For an hour he was engaged inwriting. He tore soveral sheets of paper, while engaged with the composition of the documents, but finally complet- ed his task and irecting it he called a messenger to deliver it.The document was opened, and on being read it was louml' to be a high-sound- ing epistle congratulating Arthur on his ascension to the presidency. The district attorney has filed it away for safe keeping, with some other of Guiteau’s papors, and declines to make it public, STILL ANOTHER LUNATIC. At the war department this evening a miserable, drunken fellow found his way into the corridors and forced his way into the office of Adjutant-Gen- eral Drum, and began talking about the danger the country was in and in gesticulating knocked down a handgome drop light. It was thought best to put him out, but he kept all at defiance, and flourishing his arms, cried out: ““If Gartield dies it will be all right, for Arthur will die too, if I have to kill him myself.” The police were sent forand the fellow was carried out. e The Albany Agitation.
