Unofficial bulletin, Executive Mansion, 1890
p. MIN conversation this morning on the
presidents condition, DIR. Boynton said the
prospects were considerably brighter, and
that the patient Is resting comfortably. In
reply to an inquiry the doctor replied that
the enemata which were being administered
we're principally of dilute.dextract of beef,
yolk of an egg and whisky, the whole being
dissolved and slightly heated. DR.. Bliss, In
conversation on the same subject. stated that
small portion of muriatic acid was also
apart Of the euemsta. The latter gentleman
oppressed the opinion that the presidents
stomach was gradually becoming strong or,
and referred to the fact that the nourishment
was being retained. AS proof thereof DR.
Still remains hopeful and says there Is no
reason for giving up the presidents case;
yet DIR Boynton, In response to TO q question
regarding the presidents taking nourishment
IA the regular manner, said II was possible
that a very snail quantity of diluted
beef extract, possibly teaspoonsul
would be given him about noon
1t would depend, however, upon the patients
condition at that hour. He has not been
troubled with nausea since yesterday after
noon, at which time he threw of about Gill
of liquid matter, containing a quantity of
bile. Dr. Boynton says Mrs Garfield con-
tinues very hopeful and feels rather more
encouraged to-dsy than she did yesterday.

1l:80 q. m.-- Dr.. Bliss, in second interview
this morning, was asked whether there was
anything In the presidents condition TO in
dictate that pyaemia, or blood poisoning,
was lhe cause OF the presidents unfavorsble
symptoms. He replied very emphaticslly
In the negative and said that there was no
connection whatever between the wound and
the present troubles, that the un.
favorable symptoms were due entirely
to the condition Of tho patients stomach,
and that the attending surgeons we're quite
confident that the treatment adopted would
remedy this. In referring TO the appear
snce Of the president, DR.. Bliss said that
when he was shot his weight was about 2l0
pounds that his confinement had reduced
him probably seventy pounds and there was,
or course, some pallor, but, as he wore
full beard this was not so perceptible ss It
would otherwise be.

headquarters that the report was without
foundation. It's learned, however, that the
report was true. Az an early hour this morn
ing as W. O. McGill, one of the guards,
passed Guiteau's cell, he noticed something
wrong and entered the cell. He found

IT, but Guitoau refused 10 give il up. Nc
Gill drew a pistol and q scuAle ensued,

pistol and succeeded in getting II away from
