the latest symptoms in the Presidents case indicate indi-cate nothing but gradual improvement deferring to a Washington dispatch printed in the Evening Post on Saturday Satur-day in which the Presidents symptoms were spoken of as more serious than the public suoprsed Dr Hamilton raid the account was exaggerated Garfield was not a well man by any means but the present symptoms were not alarming to II he surgeon There were more precau tions to prevent excitement in the case of the President than in an ordinary case and these precautions are what may alarm laymen but the President IB getting get-ting along well and nature may be exacted ex-acted to do almost all that remains to be done There will be no necessity for probing uless the healing of the wound snot healthful and indicates interns abCfES or concealed suppuration If thi healing of the wound seems tobe natural natu-ral and healthful nothing need bo done DR ANEUIL D WEISSE Said this morning that a good deal of misapprehension existed concerning the objects of his experiments upon a dead bQdyin the dissecting room of the Uni verity Medical I Lollege He did not fire alls into bodies in order to see if such > nlls would make a mortal wound All that he desired was some notion of the penetrating power of such a ball when effected by a bone Of course it is impossible im-possible to know what kind of a defleo tion the ball was given by its contact with Garfifllds tenth rib The chief object t ob-ject of his experiments was to find out whether a ball of that size could I enter the body at the spot where Garfield Gar-field was wounded and be deflected in such a way as not to injure the pei < oneum and liver The conclusions reached were that such a thing was perfectly per-fectly possible I have done with such experiments having accomplished all that I set out to do shown to the Eatis faction of Dr Hamilton and other surgeons sur-geons that it was possible for a bill to enter the body between the tenth ard eleventh ribs four inches from tho fpinal column and yet produce no fatl injury in-jury DR CABNACHAK Said today that nothing cpuM be more satisfactory than the way in which the President is getting along The fact that his pUlse and temperature Eome times run up denote nothing unuEual So long as the pulse does not rise higher than 110 there is no reason for anxiety le bus passed the critical periods and id now on the high way to recovery Information was obtained yesterday showing that CHARLES J GUITTEAV The wouldbe assassin of the President was once a member of Plymouth Church and upon further inquiry it was ascer I raiDed from a member of Rev S B Holidays Hol-idays family that ho also belonged to one of the Plymouth Bible classes but his connection with the church ceased about two years ago and laste about two years Mr Alvan Hill who taught he class of which Guitteau was a member mem-ber when asked about it said that he remembered re-membered the person well enough hiving hiv-ing had personal experience vith him which clearly indicated the insbeerity of his character This ho explaimd by saying say-ing that the first time he ever EBW Gait teau the latter said he was outof employment employ-ment and trying to find something to Jo and on the strength of that pIta borrowed 7 from him After that said Mr Hill 1 found that he was not looting for work and so when he came to oe again loon afterward and wanted to barrow more money I flatly refused to lat him have any That was the kind of eccentricity he displayed The custom was for members mem-bers of the class to hang their photographs on the wall all in one frame and there it remained until he committed the horrible assault on the President When I heard that he was the person who did that I took his picture down at once A Washington special ha the folow ing DR KAYRUBN Upon being shown the statement of Dr Blies published this morning to the effect that strong indications exiilrd by which the location of the ball will Jo exactly ex-actly determined very soon if thy continue con-tinue said that such was a fact or at least that the suspicions heretofore entertained enter-tained of its course were greatly stenRtb i ened He declined for profesioial reasons I rea-sons to enter at length into a description of these indications It was thoujht best to await further developmentsrf them They enforce the theory upon whch the case has been conducted from th beginning begin-ning Will you make an eflor to extract ex-tract the ball soonU Net unti it becomes be-comes necessary or until the pallet is so

Presidents body jui now ia pretty sore from head t toes His feet and legs pai him and his back feels as if broken two while his abdomen is of course ender He would probably fail to deteetfist now the

abdominal ab-dominal viscera were wound but that the ball look a backward corse and lies imbedded in the muscles of le posterior part of the trunk Dr Blis one of the Presidents physicians insfe that

assUed Wahington 11 T omghL bulletin shoving the the Presidents tem penture Ttas 102 830 caused some litte aneasiness outside the White Hde as that was the highest figure it hat jet reached A press agent called urJn Dr Woodward to ask what the eirgtjons thought of it He said the doc l < rs did not regard it as an alarming Bgn that the increase was caused by the himmering and other noises which simewhat excited the President and cused some increase of his fever over wmt it has been at night heretofore Dr Mood ward said no other alarming symp tens appeared with this increase of rarer The wound was doing well The pu discharged was stilt what is termed halthy No signs of any abscess or hsnorrhage or any of the dangers that hwe bean feared were apparent and hmce the doctors all agreed in attributing attrib-uting the increase of temperature to the excitement and annoyance of the President Presi-dent by noises Dr Woodward was very positive as to this theory and hence did not feel alarmedv Other surgeons sur-geons all agreed in this opinion and as evidence of its correctness the temperature tempera-ture began to recede by 9 ocock tonight to-night and At 10 oclock had fallen 6 lOths to 102 210 The pulse also began be-gan to reduce and doctors expressed confidence that by the early morning hours the fever will b3 down as low as usual The fever rises every night It is caused by heat and the disturbance of the day and declines every night when the atmosphere becomes cool and everything every-thing is entirely quiet Surgeons are as hopeful of the Presidents recovery tonight to-night as they have beer This morning the President saidi Bliss I feol better this morning I think I am going to get well I think so too replied Bliss The President is very weak He can move his legs l a little thats about the only physical exertion ex-ertion except talking that he is capable of He suffers considerable pain in his legs but does not complain much of it Mr Crump who has been with him nearly every hour since the shot was J fired today said Get well of course he will He is going to get well without a doubt U Mr Jrump is of the opinion that the President will take a drive in six weeks from now The jaundice appearance ap-pearance which was first noticed last Friday has all disappeared The Presidents Presi-dents hands and face which had become yellow have resumed the color they had before they changed to that hue He was given more nourishment today thin heretofore Great care is taken that nothing shall be administered that will destroy the tone of the stomach To get that organ out of order would be dangerous dan-gerous A physician is constantly by the Presidents bedside Ho is watched unceasingly by a medical attendant as well as by a nurse Three main points now aimed at in his treatment are first to keep the system up and not let it fallback fall-back in any particular second to constantly con-stantly watch the symptoms and act promptly as they make it advisable and third to see that the President is kept as comfortable and cheerful as possible There is but little fear of blood poisoning It is thought by the physicians physi-cians that the pus discharged from the wound is of such a character now as mattes it improbable that there should be blood poiFoning The President will talk now and then but only say a vary ew words Nothing like a conversation is allowed him Bib principal talking is giving directions to Mr Crump about the arrangement of his bed ad other details of the sick room Messages and resolutiona of sympathy have been received from Tung

130 am Executive Mansion 8 a mThe unfavorable un-favorable symptoms which made their appearance yesterday afternoon have entirely en-tirely subsided The President passed a very comfortable restful night and this morning his pulse is 96 temperature 996 This would seem to indicate that the increased pulse and temperature of last evening was merely a temporary fluctuation due as the surgeons supposed at the time to some momentary tax upon his nervous system rather than to any permanent unfavorable change Executive Mansion 1 mThe President has passed a comfortable day Pulse 100 temperature
