WASHINGTON. July Q.


CONDITION OF THE SUFFERING PATIENT.
Yesterday was another day of favorable
symptoms in the condition Of the President,
the most favorable being the discharge of
"laudable" or healthy pus from the wound.
This gives the physicians great confidence that
there is no danger from blood poisoning. The
yellow color of the skin has to some extent
disappeared aud with it all fear of the effects
of jaundice. The President partook of more
nour .shment than on any day since
the shooting. The weather was very favorable
to the condition, and the work Of producing
artifcally better atmosphere In the sick
room is being pushed. The quickened pulse
arises from tue process Of suppuration, which
was expected, and which in the opinion of the
physicians Is progressing very favorably. The
President maintains his courage and hopeful
ness. and the chances OF his recovery increased
100 per cent. yesterday.
The only message of sympathy which has
been shown the President is the one sent by
Gen. Grant. He has also been shown the
resolutions adopted by the Williams College
alumni. He has been told, however, that the
public anxiety in his regard has been interse
and that kilograms and letters Of sympathy
were coming from all parts Of the civilized
world.
SEEKING NoToRIETY.
IL is stated that a number OF prominent
Washington lawyers are anxious TO defend
Guiteau on account OF the notoriety it may
give them. Some Of these persons have sough at
access TO Guiteau, but have been refused on
the instructions of District Attorney Cork
hill Insanity will be the ground of defense,
but it is quite certain that the prosecution will
try to show that Guiteau is sane and entirely
responsible for his acts.
NO CONSPIRACY.
Chief Brooks, of the Secret Service Division
who has baen iuvastiOa ting with a yia IN
certaining whether Guiteau was member Of a
conspiracy, has come to the conclusion that
there has been no conspiracy, but that Guiteau
acted alone Chief Brooks does not think Gui-
teau il insane. He is only eccentric but his
eccentricity is oea fanatical and exceedingly
mean variety.
CONCERNING GUITEAU.
"When will the mat ;er be laid before the
Grand Jury?' asked a reporter Of District At
torney Corkhill.
''No action will be taken regarding the case
until the result of the Presidents wound is
finally determined"
"What can be done With Guitcau il the Pres
ident lives?"
sault with intent TO kill"
care You ready yet to give out the papers
taken from Guiteau?'
"That question Is asked me by everybody. as
II there was something very grave contained in
them. These papers are not 30 very import
ant. The only very important thing have is
full detailed history OF the crime from it's in
ception to Its elimination, which believe ~
accurately true. That, in due time, will be
given to the public. will say in addition that
l think it exceedingly cruel, considering the
fervid state OF the public mind on this subject,
and the horror with which every man regards
the assassin, that any mans name should he
mentioned in connection with him. He Is an
egotistical, presuming, dishonest man. attempt
ing to borrow money of people claiming &C
quaintance with persons whom he only knew
by the fact OF his going to them and speaking
to them speaking OF persons as his friends
whom he had no acquaintance with at all !;
attempting to obtain money by representing
himself as man OF great political influence,
both here and in New York. To mention the
names of these citizens i'm connection with this
man at this time is improper and unjust.
While everybody who has known anything
about this man at all has been perfectly willing
to detail tome his entire relations with Gmteau,
still there Is scarcely one of them but has re-
quested that his name DO kept from the pub
