$3.50 A. M.-President Garfield's condi-
ton this morning ia reported by DR.. Bliss
as favorable. He was somewhat restless
during the early part of the night, COM
planning of soreness in the legs, but this
quickly disappeared and he slept well dur
ing the latter part of the night, awaken
ing this morning greatly refreshed. His
general condition this morning, it is
thought, is better than at any previous
time.
IL A. M.-The Presidents condition con-
tinues to improve. The discharge Of a
healthy pus from his wound set in this
morning. A morbid pus may not make
its appearance for two or three days yet.
Dir. Bliss says he thinks there will be no
complications from this source. A strong
wind is blowing, and broken clouds OBJ
scure the sun at intervals, making the
heat less uncomfortable. The Presidents
appetite continues to lead his bill of fare
several lengths. He is always hungry.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-A new refrigerat-
ing and cooking apparatus is being devised,
the present methodlbeing less successful
than yesterday. A large fan, to be worked
by electricity, is now being made. The
Presidents two youngest children, Abram
and Irving, have been sent from Long
Branch to Mentor to care for their grand
mother, the Presidents mother, who will
not be sent for until the crisis comes, and
not then, unless there should be an un-
favorable turn of the case.
Mrs. Garfield went out for dinner to-
day with Mrs. Colonel Rockwell. This is
the first time she has been away from the
Executive Mansion since her arrival from
Long Branch on Saturday.

FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, New York, July
6.-My Dear Sir: In the adherence with
which all decent men alike shudder at the
attempt to murder the President, I have
given thought to a matter to which your
attention may or may not turn. Our Grim
inal code treats premaditated cases Of hon.
icide in all cases alike, irrespective of the
victim. murder being visited with the
greatest penalty. Perhaps no distinction
between one case and another could be
founded on the public relations held by the
person slain, but in the case of an attempt
to murder a very broad distinction can be
made between assailing the life Of an indi.
| vidual and an attempt to take life. The
shocking occurrence of Saturday I think
demands that a definition and punishment
of assault, aimed at high executive officers,
whether successful or not. should be made
thoroughly rigorous. The man who at
tempts the life of the President, if morally
responsible, commits an offense which the
Nation should guard against and punish by
the e~xertion of the power civilized nations
may employ. suggest this as deserving
consideration. My profound sympathies
are with the President and with YOU ali.
The conflict of reports keep hope and fear
striving with each other, with nothing sta.
BILE except the facts, and I trust that the
worst is past. I wish you would express to
the President my sympathy in this hour,
which should hush all discords and enlist
prayers for his safe dsliverance. Please
also give Mrs. Garfield my most respectful
coincidence, trusting all will be we'll.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) RoscoE CoNKL1Na.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Hon. R. Conk.
ling. Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York /:
Thanks for your letter of the 9Th instant,
which has just reached me. Its suggestions
will be carefully considered, and its kind
message of sympathy will be conveyed to
the President and Mrs. Garfield at the
earliest opportunity.

the point of the bayonet, and then left the

CINCINNATI, July s.--A fire broke out
yesterday afternoon In Morgan a Sons
childrsn's carriage factory. on the corner
OF Smith and Augusta streets, and in Ave
minutes the Ave story building was In
flames. The region is full Of factories, and
the fire soon spread to the Union turning
factory, Closterman's factory, Meader's
furniture factory, and Reson's foundry.
The first was totally destroyed. Charles
Beat was killed and five others injured bv
jumping from the windows. There is much
uncertainty about the loss Of life. Six
teen persons are certainly wounded, and
"a are unaccounted for, and the horrible
possibility exists that the latter persisted.
