EXECUTIVE MANSION, 2:30 p. M.-The con-
dition of the President has not materially
ch nged since the date of the last official bule-
tic. He complains little of WEAKNESS and
muscular soreness, and has once or twice man
ifested a slight apprehension that his recovery
might leave him in some way MANNED or ds-
abled so rs to incapacitate him for active ply
slcal exercise. lie said recently to one of the
attendants II wish l could get up on to my
feet l would like to see whether l have any
backbone left or not" But whatever doubt
there may be in the mind of the President as to
the existence of his physical bone, there is
none in the minds of his friends as to his NOR
al backbone. After ten days of weariness,
danger, heat and suffering, he remains brave
and cheerful as at first, and is only restrained
by his physicians orders from talking immod-
erately with those about him. The tempera-
ture of the Presidents room has been rs de-
grees to-day, which is Is degrees lower than
the temperature externally. The refrigerating
machine is now pumping into the room 90, 900
cubic feet of air per hour at a temperature OF
55 degrees.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, 9:2O
M.-The Presidents temperature, which at
the last official bulletin, was higher than at any
time during his illness, has since steadily fall
len, until now it stands about at last nights
figure. No especial Importance is attached
by the attending surgeons to these daily bulle-
tins in temperature and pulse. At this stage
of the Presidents case they are to be expected.
The general condition of the patient at this
hour is favorable and satisfactory.
Gteitea,t's Inspiration of assassination.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Guiteau is still
closely guarded, and it is very difficult to get
any sort of communication even indirectly
with him. Yesterday GuIteau complained
that the prison food had disagreed with him
and given him Indigestion, but said the TAILOR
refused to give him any better, and he was get
ting used 10 it now. He sticks to the declara-
tion hat he W as inspired to kill the President
to save the Republican party, that the Presi-
dent had divided the party aAd he saw that the
party could never be united again under Presi-
dent Garfield. Hence his inspiration was that
it was better to sacrifice the President than
the party. Guiteau says the inspiration of
ASSASSINATION first came to him just after Conk-
lin and Platt resigned, that hence he went to
the White House to shoot the President, but
could not shoot without endangering others,
and deferred it.. Yesterday he referred to his
visit to the White House when the President
had him forcibly elected, but was quick to
deny that that had any thing to 90 with his
attempt at assassination. His statements,
however, in regard to his election from the
White House were somewhat conflicting,
enough SO to warrant the suspicion that his
murderous assault was more a matter of
PERSONAL REVENGE,
for what he regarded as great indignty
than anything else. Once he said his deter
rnination to kill the President was formed long
before he was elected. At another time he
said that 1t was on the Thursday prior to the
resignation of Conkllng and Platt that he was
put out.o of the White House; but seeming to
recall the fact that he had said he had been
inspired to kill the President Just after Conk-
ling and Platt resigned, he corrected himself
md said II was long after he had deternairod
