Dr.. Bliss says that the ball is moving deeper
into the cavity of the pelyis, probably in the
direction of the rectum. This downward move

WASHINGTON, Aug, 81.
The President is no better and he is no
worse. He remains upon the dead level, where
one of his physicians said last night that they
hoped he would not remain many days. They,
of course, hope and are confident that, when
a change does come, it viii be for the better,
but this confidence is not as strong as might
be desired. The situation is still one Of un=
certainty, and there are q few pessiHlSts
who feaf4hat the prospects are not az good for
his recovery as they seem to be. Another in
cision was made in the parotld gland, which
resulted satisfactorily and perceptlbly decreased
the swelling, The wound remains unchanged.
There wa5 slight rise in the pulse, due to this
incision. The patient tC X his rourishment,
con- listing of kolmiss, milk porridge, and beef
tea, quite freely and with apparent relish. He
ate small piece of milk-toast, His stomach
continues healthy, and the physicians seem to
be rather confident that there will be no more
trouble from that source. The condition of
the wonnd is healthy. The fact that the ball
has changed its position and is moving lower
down is considered favorable feature of the
case by the surgeons, and by some is supposed
to account for the rally made a few days ago.
That the President is feeling better and his
mental faculties are clear are considered signs
OF improvement.
The police yesterday arrested another
"crank at the White House gate. 1t was q
poor colored man, manifestly insane. He
was bent upon the sanguinary mission
Oh ktlIuS every H1du WHO WAS uOI u
Garfield man, and had long tin can into
which he proposed to place their heads. He
was arrested without resistance. Dealers in
nostrums which they claim will be of benefit
to the President are very numerous here and
Secretary Blaine is visited by SO many of
them that it has become necessary to station
policeman in citizens clothes near his house
to relieve him from the annoyance to which he
is subject at all times of the day and night
Some of these persons are SO persistent that it
is necessary to remove them by the police.
The assassin, Guiteau has written another
letter TO District Attorney Corkhil, in which he
claims protection from the mob. At
the conclusion of his letter he plain
ly shows that he is well acquainted
with the Presidents condition, for
he says: 'While the President is in this pre-
carious condition. have confidence in no one
Hook to you. See that l am securely pro-
tected." The wretch has also indicated a de-
sire to marry some wealthy Christian lady of
good family.
About 100 letters day are received at the
White House, addressed either to Mr.. or
Mrs. Garfield. During the early stages of
the Presidents illness the letters were
mostly to him. Now they are generally adj
dressed to Mrs. Garfield and express the
writer's sympathy with her. Most of thenbear
the evidence of being written by person. of in
ferior attalnments but at the same time they
testify to the genuine sentiment of the people
in their distress.
