Wasningrox, D, 0., July 14.— The president’s physi¢ians are much leased with the progress of the case. Buring thy night, as will be seen by the morning bulletin, the outward symptoms show matrked improvement. he president bore the dressing of the wound this morning with less dis- comfort than on any previous occa- sion, and says he feels much better, The wound has been discharging ‘‘laudable pus” during the night, and the signs of healing are more marked. He has little fever and takes even more nourishment to-day than yesterday. Instead of growing weaker he is growing stronger. When questioned as to this matter he drew up both legs and used both hands, and moving his body in evidence of his strength. It was a weak exhibition of courage, but it showed that he was very strong for a very weak man. HAMILTON'S OPINIONS, Consulting Surgeon Hamilton says : “‘What were ordinarily considered by surgeons as a great erisis in such wounds as President Girfleld’s were now things of the past,” and he has confidence that the pregident’s wound will continue to me ~®©r. Hamil- ton still inclines to the napression that the ball is not deeply imbedded and unlikely to give serious trouble, It may turn up in a most unexpected situation. The splendid constitution of the president, his regular habits, and the absence of vestiges of any complicating disease, led the doctor to believe the wound will heal kindly. AMONG THE MESSAGES received at the White House were copies of sympathetic and_congratula- tory resolutions adopted by the Gen- eral ¢ R., Lander Post of the G. A. Lynn, Mass.; Knights of 'St. Peter, Washington, and the Catholic Knights of America, now assembled in council in Cincinnati. THE BEST DAY YET. This has been a better day for the president even than yesterday. He has rested better and the symptoms have shown a marked improvement and his personal abpearance has much improved. He has slept twelve hours out of the last twenty-four and is con- scquently greatly refreshed. The gain of strength in his legs and arms i8 particularly noticeable this evening. The doctors are more cheerful than ever and the cabinet officers retired at their usual evening hour from the White House with eased confidences. GETTING READY TO EIND THE BULLET. Experiments are now being “made by Professor Graham Bell and Pro- fessor Simon Newcomb, to ascertain the effect of the newly improved in- vention, an induction balance in searching for metal beneath a sub- jects skin with a view to hunting ‘or the ball which has caused the presi- dent’s suffering. The invention is Prof, Bell’'s and he claims for it that an electrical current can be established between the balance and metal hid- den within an inch below the surface; that by passing the balance over the suspected part of the badge, if the ball is = within the required space, he will be able to detect a |tinkling sound by means of a tele- | b phone placed at the ear, The ex- periment will be watched with great interest for scientilic reasons, to say nothing of the result of the case. Prof. Bell come on to-day for the purpose, and if the experiment proves a success the practical application will be made in the president’s case, but not until he is much stronger than now. Wasainaron, July 14, —Prof. Gra- ham Bell, electrician, reached Wash- ington this afternoon and was met by Prof. Newcomb, who accompanied him to the White House. They con- sulted with the physicians and it was decided to proceed with the experi- ments with a view to hunting for the assassin’s ball by induction balance | The experiments | od at Prof. }full'u lab- ratory in this city and on their com- plete success alone will depend a prac- tical application in the president’s case.

Arthur, has been a terrible suf- reatly cheered, how- sver by the noble bearing of his wife. I can say truthfully that no one is more pleased at his favorable condition than I am myself. It would have been an ex- treme sorrow and only because unavoidably that I should have as- sumed the duties of president. Gen. Arthur said he would not return to Albany or take any further part in the senatorial contest. He thought it high time that the legislature should either elect or adjourn. The vice- president said he knew nothing of Conkling’s movements, A prominent administration repub- lican has received dispatches from Albany stating that Lapham and Mil- ler would be elected to-morrow.

Barnard, gener- al superintendent of the Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs road, was in attendance, The association was in session all day and adjourned without adopting any plan for a future pool, The former rates are to be resumed next Saturday.

PARIS JUBILANT, Panris, July 14.—Seldom has Paris witnessed a more brilliant spectaclo nor one more generally enjoyed than the national fete to-day. The weather is all that could be desired, fair and warm but not oppressively hot.

Guiteau Confesses to Having Dogged Tbe President's Footsteps for Months, Himself Alone Responsible For The Deed. WasniNaros, July 14, 4 p, m.— District Attorney Corkhill has just made public Guiteau’s confession to him of the shootng, 1t shows that Guiteau had boen contemplating the deed since the 18th of May last; that he dogged the movements of the president continually, and_on one oc- casion arranged to shoot him while in church, but refrained from doing so because he was afraid of missing him and litting some person else, The confession makes no mention whatever of an accomplice, but rather strengthens the impression that Gui- teau was alone in his dastardly act. GUITEAU'S CONFESSION, United States District Attorney Corkhill has authorized the publica- tion of the following in order to cor- rect certain false statements regard ing the attempted ussassination of the )nrcxhlcnt: “The assassin, Charles Guiteau, came to Washington on Sunday evening, March 6th, 1881, and stopped at the Ebbitt house, remamn- ing one day. He then secured a room in another part of the eity, and has boarded and roomed at various places, full details of which I have, On Wednesday, May 1st, the assassin determined to murder the president. He had neither moncy nor pistol at the time. About the last of May he went into O'Meara’s store, corner of Fifteenth and F strects in this city, and examined some pistols, asking for u large calibre. Ho was showr several similar in calibre and onlydifferent in price. On Wednesday, June 8th, he purchased a pistol which he used, for which he paid ten dollars, NG, JULY 15, 1881, having in the meantime borrowed fife teen dollars from a gentleman of this city on the plea ho wanted to pay his board bill. On the samo evening about 7 o'clock he took the pistol and went to the foot of Fifteenth street and practiced firing at a board, firing ten shots, He then returned to his boarding place, put the pistol by and waited an apportunity. Sunday morn- ing, June 18, ho was sitting in Lafay- otto park and saw the president leave for Christian church, on Vermont avenue, and he at once returned to his room and obtained his pistol, put it in his hip \]-m-kn( and followed the president to the church He entered the church but found he could not kill him thero withont danger of killing someone else. He noticed that the president sat near the win- dow. After church he made an ex amination of the window and found he could reach it without any trouble and that from this pont he could shoot the president without killing anyone else. The following Wednes- day ho went to church to examine the location of the window. He became satisfiod that he could accomplish his purpose and he determined to make an attempt at the church the fol- lowing Sunday. He learned from the papers that the president would leave the city Saturday, June 18, with his wife, for Long Branch, and he there- fore determined to meet him at tho depot. He left his boarding house at b o’clock Saturday morning, June 18, and went down to the river to the foot of Seventeenth street and fired fivo shots to practico his aim and to be certmn that his pistol was in good condition. He then went to the depot and was in the ladies’ sitting room of the depot with his pistol ready. When tho prosider tial party entered he says Mrs. Gar- field lnmicd 80 weak and frail that he liad no heart to fire in her presonce andas he knew he would have another opportunity ho left the depot. He hal proviously engaged o carriago to tako him to jail. On Wednesday evening the president and hisson, and, I think, United States Marshal Henry, went out for a ride. The assassin took his pistol and followed them and watched them for a long time in the hopo that the carriage would stop, but 1o opportunity was given. On Fri- day evening, July 1st, he was sitting in tho parx opposito the white houso when he saw the president como out alone. He followed him down the avenue to Fifteenth street and then kopt on the opposito side of tho streot up Fiftcenth until the presi- dent entered the residence of Secre- tary Blaine. Ho waited at the cor- ner of Mr, Morton’s +late residence, corner of Sixteenth and H streets, for some time and then, afraid that he would attract attention, he went into the alley in the rear of Mor- ton’s residence, examined his pistol: and waited The presi- dent and secretary came out together, and followed them over to the gate of the Wkite -House,. but could get no opportunity to uso his weapon. On the morning of Satur- day, July 24 he breakfasted at the Riggs houso about 7 o'clock. He then walked upinto the park, and sat there for an hour. He then took a one horse avenue car and rode to Sixth street, got out and went into the depot and loitered around there, had Tlus shoes blacked, engaged a hackman for two dollars to take him to jail, went into the water closet and took his pistol out of his hip pocket and unwrapped the paper from around it, which he put there for the purpose of preventing perspiration vom dampening the powder, examined fully, tried tho t [ rned and took a the ladies waiting room, and as soon as the president entered advanced be- hind hunand fired two shots. Theso facts, 1 think, can be relied upon as nccurate, and I give to the public to contradict certain false rumors in con- nection with this most atrocious of atrocious crimes, The confession of Guiteau ls nething new but places matters in a succinet form. The district attorney's statement of the assassins story con- firms the published reports but show up one inconsistency in its commis- sion. It appears that Guiteau doter- mined on ]{fluy 8 to murder the presi- dent. Previously he stated that he determined to do 8o when he was put out of the white house, Attaches of the white house say that it was after that date that the occurrence referred to took place. ~ s - The Garfleld Fund. National Associated Fress, New York, July 14,—The total contributions to the fund for the ben- efit of the wife of President Garfield amounts to $144,504, The chamber of commerce in the fall of 1878 raised a sum of money to provide for the maintenance of the widow and children of Lieut, Hiram H.

The Fastest Time on Record Made by Mand §, at Pittsburg Yesterday. But for the Track Being Heavy She Would Have Made it in 2:08, Other Sporting Notes National Associated Press. Pirtrsnura, July 14, St was brought on the track to-day but was not speeded against time, his manager saying that the horse was not feeling well, but with promises to do some good work before the season is over, though. Maud 8. was exhibited again, wear- Julian g about her neck a beautiful wreath of flowers, the gift of the ladies of Pittsburg. One of her grooms was also prosentod with a beautiful boquet and hor driver with a handsome basket of flowers. The feat of the queen in re- ducing her record is the topic of mnch comment. A great many New Yorkors were here nmrlnnz considerable money on tho trial, betting freely £100 to 850 that she would not go it in less than 2:12 or 2:1 The Pittsburgers, who had speeded their own nags over the track and know its merits, took most of theso bots and are in consoquence full of pocket. Maud S's. feat was witnessed by 20,- 000 people. As she came down to the wire all was expectancy. After one talse start she came down again. Bair gave the nod to the judges who gave her the word go, and away she went, two thousand watches timing her. As she passed the first quarter a murmur of disappointment ran through the audience, “She won't do it.” “She can't," was heard on every side, but on the straight second quarter she picked up. As sho passed the half mile in 1:06} the audience took heart and cheered heartily, “She does it,” tsho wili!” they said. As she struck the three-quarter Bair was seen to gently Hny the whip across her back and the mare responded nobly, seomingly to fairly fly. She complet: ed the quarter at a 2:07 gait, passing the quarter polein 1:27}. The fact wag then almost assured that she would beat her best time, and the enthusiasm was unbounded As she struck the straight home stretch a calm fell upon the vast crowd and all eyes were fixed upon the noble animal, She came thundering down the stretch in grand style, her feet seeming to searcely touch., Down she came and passed under the wires in 2:104, tne fastest mile ever trotted on n?h. The pent up feeling .f h crowd burst forth, and deafeniug cheers rent the air. Captain Stone's hat went thirty feet in the air as he uttered the exclamation, “By God.” As the mare was led back the captain rushed down and y 1 his arm about her neck, exclaiming, *“ this is glorious,” The track is slow to-day, else she would have done it in cight seconds He then run over and telegraphed the news to Vanderbilt. She track, althcugh new, is pro- nounced on all sides the finest in the country. The first quarter is aslight decline, giving the horse a good send off, then a_level quarter, then a slight rise and then a level and straight homestretch. Thus all the horse's muscle is brought into play without fatiguing him. Several horses other than Maud S have reduced their records during the races. It is claimed by some that her time was less than 2:104. Probably she will go again, BRIGHTON BEACH RACK! New York, July.—~The races at Brighton Beach continued to-day.
