IL A. MAT the morning dressing the
parotid swelling was found to have dimin-
ished sensibly in size since yesterday morn
ing. There has been a plentiful discharge
of pus during the night from three OPEN
ings. Another yellow spot was discovered
on the side of the face this morning,
which, on being pricked, permitted a free
discharge of pus from another pus pocket.
The wound in the body was found to be do
ing well. 1t still continues to discharge
freely. The character of pus discharged
has not changed materially since yester-
day, but is thicker and healthier in charac-
ter Than for the past few days. While

fully twelve inches.
DR.. Boynton, who was in the sick room
the greater part Of last night, says the
President passed a good night, sleeping
most of the. time. His sleep was more
natural than on any night during the past
week. During the intervals of wakeful-
ness his mind was perfectly clear. Once
(about 2 A. M, when awake and while
taking some nourishment, he remarked to
DIR. Boynton, evidently referring to the
several relapses: doctor, I wonder how
many more stations I will have to stop at"
DR.. Boynton says the President looks bet
ter and feels better this morning.
The Doctors hopes are strengthened
by the fact that The President has
held his own through another day and
night. He will feel content and satisfied
period for a few days. After that he hopes
the work of repair and regeneration will
commence. At this hour the surgeons re-
port his condition as being quite as favora-
BILE as at the morning examination.
DR.. Hamilton said this morning that the
President is going to get we'll ; that he had
no doubt of it whatever. There is no
truth, he said, that there is anything the
matter with Mr.. Garfeld's lungs. No new
complications are threatened.

dressing an additional point of suppura-
ton was recognized in his swollen face,
which. on being incised, gave exit to some
healthy-looking pus. The other openings
on the exterior Of the swelling are likewise

The Assassin's Terror.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Guiteau is still
in dire terror of mind. He usually in
quires Of the guards as they come on duty
for the latest news Of the President, and
receives the stereotyped nswer ''Improv-
ing at last accounts" to which he replies:
81 am glad of it," He is still engaged in
writing some of his illusions, directed to
outside parties, in reference to procuring
bail, while others purport to give an ac-
count Of an alleged vision that inspired
him to shoot the President. Since the
episode with the guard, McGill, he has
been quite bitter toward the guards. A
nights after that occurrence, seeing
McGill in the rotunda, he demanded to
why he was not locked up, saying
that McGill was as guilty as he was, only
McGjll failed to shoot. The officials at the
Jail give out the statement that all inqgi-
ries of Guiteau about the President are an
swered either evasively or that he is i'm
proving, but indications are that from one
source or another Guiteau gets informa-
tion as to the Presidents exact condition.
He has grown very nervous. and is in con-
slant dread Of attacks from the outside of
the Jail, which shows that he knows of the
critical condition Of the President.
Measures Against Mob Violence.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-secretary Lin.
coin on Saturday ordered four batteries Of
artillery from Baltimore to Washington
and another order was issued
from the War Department, directing that
all staff officers Of the army now on leave
of absence in this city. to be ready at q
moments warning to report to their re-
spective commands. Two additional COM
panies have been stationed at the Jail.
There is IN evident intention on the part
Of the authorities, both civil and military,
to protect Guiteau from mob violence.
Among the themes that have come to be
in connection with the Presi-
critical condition, is the probable
OF Guiteau's defense, In the event
