Guiteau is seriously alarmed and fears he
 will be lynched or shot through the window
 of his cell. He has for this reason wanted
 iron shutters put over the window, and has
 upon which to suspend the blanket for 8
 screen. The report that an order was issued
 to remove Guiteau to the United States steam ship Passaic is denied, but the Passaic lies
 near the wharf at the navy yard and tug
 with steam up is constantly in the vicinity
 and is evidently kept ready for some emer- gency. Early this forenoon the United States steamer Despatch was ordered
 to get up steam at once. The officers were questioned as to the reason, but replied that it was unknown to them. Many believe that Guiteau, in case of emer- gency, will be placed upon the boat and taken to Fortress Monroe. Others think the Despatch will take the assassin on board and go several miles down the river and drop an- chor out in the stream. It is reported that the strength of the jail has been tested with a view to ascertaining its power to resist an armed mob. One of the rumors was that large gang of roughs from New York, Phila- delphia and Baltimore were en route for this city for the purpose of lynching Gulteau. Telegrams were sent to the railroad officials and police authorities of each city, and the report was not corroborated. Arrangements have been made so that notice will be given by the police to the officials in Washington of any departure of large bodies of men for this city. The general belief is that if such an attempt is made the lynchers will separate in small parties and come by different routes. The jail building is of unusual strength, but any attempt to break into it will be met by military resistance. At o'clock this after noon the jail officials were notified if they needed assistance to call upon the United States marines. The latter are under wait ing orders for any emergency, and no marine is allowed to be absent from the barracks.
 GUTTEAU's APPETITE NOT AFFECTED. Assistant Postmaster General Tyner was met tonight while coming from the White House. He said the@President was better and was hopeful of the best result. All was quiet about the jail this evening. Guiteau remains in the same cell he has occupied the past four weeks, and spends much of his time in writing his biography. He has not worried sufficiently to affect his appetite and affects contentment. He has limited knowl- edge of the Presidents condition, but pro-
