UNOFFICIAL BULLETINS.
WASHINGTON, August :


Executive Mansion--In and interview with
reporter of the Associated Press at noon,
DIR. Bliss replied to questions substantly as
follows:
"What view do you take, Dr., of the Presi-
dents condition to-day?"
Il think he is no better than yesterday,
and when say he is no better, it is about
equivalent to saying he is worse, because the
longer he goes without positive repair the less
become his chances Of recovery. He has not
failed great deal since seven o'clock. His
time for greatest depression IL early in the
morning. 1t was so yesterday morning and
again this morning. Alter that he rallied a
little. His pnlse fuctuated during the fore
noon between ITO and 49,"
docs he realize his condition?"
~ think he does to a certain extent. He
has inquired about his pulse, and about the
inflamed glands several times to-day. l do
not think he has given up the hope of recov-
cry. He seemed more discouraged about
himself than usual, and think hi, discour-
agement had something to do with his phys
ical depression. His mind acted unfavora-
bly, upon his body. He asked how he was.
and Mrs. Garfield and gave him reassuring
replies, that seemed to brace him mp. and he
soon afterwards rallied. His mind is clear,
much better than yesterday. He understands
everything said to him to-day, and is con-
scious of what goes on about him. The
parotid gland has not changed much. 1t dis
charges rather more freely through the ear
No other glands of the body are affected, and
no suppuration except from tine wound and
gland. The wound does not look quite so
well as heretofore. The granulations were
not perfect this forenoon, as they hitherto
have been. The character Of the pus from
the wound has not changed materially. 1t
perhaps indicates little more depletion of
the system. He has less chances to-day to
recover than he had yesterday
''You still hope for recovery"
well, yes | hope for it,

THE WRETCH GUITEAU.
Officers Will Protect Him for Punish
ment by Law.

WASHINGTON, August q. District Attor-
new Corkhill returned this morning from Tape
NAV to Washington. He stopped in Phila'
delphia last evening, and one of the news
papers there published this morning what
imported to be an interview with him. he
was represented as saying that he knew OF
several organizations whose determination
was to break into the Jail, secure Guiteau and
hang him in the event of the President S
death. Col. Corkhill corrects this by saying
that the organizations, of whose existence he
knows, have simply been formed for the pur-
pose of seeing that Guiteau did not escape
death. The idea was that the President
would live and that Guiteau might then 60 to
penitentiary for few years or to an insane
ASYLUM. In such an event the purpose OF
these organizations was to put Guiteau to
death.
There is no intention, however, so far as
the District Attorney is aware, of taking
Guiteau out of the hands of the law in caes
that the President dies. 1t is assumed In
such an event, Guiteau would be hanged,
which would satisfy the purposes of the or
CARNATIONS. District Attorney Corkhill had
an interview this morning with Gen. Sher-
man, and was informed by him that there
was sufficient force in Washington to pro-
tect the prisoner from any mob that can be
organized here. As to Guiteaus fears that
he will be shot from the outside of the Jail
through the windows, it is said are perfectly
groundless. Guiteau is confined in an inside
cell, and in order to shoot him from the out
side, ball would have to pass through an
outside window. a hall and an inner window
to his cell. Although Guiteau can see the
outer space, it is highly improbable that any
one could get into position to shoot into
his cell.
Believing that the Presidents death is
likely to occur at any time, Gen. Sherman is
taking measures to guard the Jail, the White
House and the arsenal against any violent
demonstration that may be made after the
President is dead.

anxious night, Not so much because he re-
garded the condition of the President as one
of imminent danger, but the slight improve
