In a recent conversation with Guiteau he tsS-
pressed considerable admiration fer ex Senator
Conkling politically but seemed to think his
manners could be improved. Guiteau has
campaign speech on Garfield and Hancock which
he has been in the habit of using as an introduc-
tion to prominent political personages. In New
York awhile ago he approached Mr. Coak!ing ald
rendered him copy of the speech. but was
treated rather cavaliery. The next time
ne met him in Washington. aGd again handed
Mr.. Conkln9 a copy of the speech. saying that
as ne (Glfeau) was an applicant for office the
speech would show the ground for his claims.
Mr.. Conkl:n2 Oh this occasion angrily declared
that he did not want the speech. and he threw It
on the ground with scora. Senator Don Cam

Where is the Bullet?
DR HAMILTON DOES NOT THINK THBTssTIMoSY
AS TO TTs POSITION CONCLUSIVE.
The New York San to-day says: It was re-
ported from Washington yesterday morning that
DIR. Bliss had said. 1.-The indications of which
we have privately advised Drs. Agnew and Ham
fton by letter are that the bail went through
the liver to the abdominal cavity, and is lodged
IN the anterior wall of the abdomen as at first
supposed, and it will be easy when the time
comes, to remove it from that point without
danger. l do not think it will be necessary to
enter the abdominal cavity
Dr. Frank Ii. Hamilton, one Of the consulting
surgeons referred to. said last evening:
"Dr. Bliss has communicated with me pri-
VateiV in relation to the Presidents case bat I'D
W tiiis ulOine'it nave received no fIIrther lntl
nation as TO the seat of the ball NV own pre-
sumption is that the correspondent is in error
as to what DR.. Bliss said to him. or if he is not,
have no doubt DR.. Bliss viii inform me of what
the reporter aiiudes to. In my opinion the tes-
tllnony in the case is not conclusive as to where
the ball lies"
Dr. Hamilton said that it was a natural sup
position that if the ball passed through the liver
and did not make its appearance at the surface
OF the abdomen, it was stopped by the abdom-
nal wall.
Dr. Hamilton was asked whether he thought
the President would get we'll or not. He wouid
only say that he thought the conditions were
favorable to recovery.
