WASHINGTON, August 2d.-There has
been no use for the cooling apparatus in
the Presidents room lately, but it was
used to-day, the weather being hot.
A short sea voyage for the President is
again discussed, and it will be tried in
three weeks if the President continues to
gain strength. Little is read to him except
light matter and paper headings. The
lower portion of his body is stiff and sore,
but the pains in his legs arc gone.
Another White House employee is sick
with the malaria, making the eighth one.
Major Turning, an expert, says that prob.
ably the defective sewers under the White
House, made of brick, and not the Poto.
mac flats, are responsible for malaria, as
other houses are not SO afflicted.
DIR. Bliss says the President is doing
splendidly, and all tho indications are
that the President has passed his last
danger point.
WASHINGTON, August 2d.-Mrs. Gar.
field received, to-day, letter of sympathy
and coincidence from the Christian Church

for 500 as contribution to the building
fund of the Church of Disciples, in this
city, with which the President is connected.
The draft is sent by the adherents of tho
same religious faith in England, as a token
of thankfuness for the preservation of the
Presidents life.
NEW YORK, August 2d.-The 7,i5,,,e's
Washington special says District Attorney
Corkhill visited the Jail to-day for the first
time in ten days. His visit was in conse-
quence Of a notification from Guiteau, that
he had an important communication to make
to him. Upon the entrance of the District
Attorney into his cell, Guiteau rose and
produced folded paper. This WAS found
by Corkhill to be a petition drawn up in the
handwriting of the assassin, and potition-
ing for his release from Jail on bail in the
SUN of $4,000. Gaiteau bases his claim
for release on bail upon the fact that the
President is now regarded out Of danger,
aud that his physicians concur in stating
that there is no danger Of relapse. The
construction Of the petition shows consid-
cradle familiarity with the forms of law,
and the document throughout is drawn up
with conciseness and exactness that indi-
cate anything but insanity. Guiteau was
very anxious that the District Attorney
should take prompt action upon his prayer
for release, and animated that in the event
OF the favorable consideration of the peti.
ton, he would have no difficulty in securing
bondsmen in the sum indicated. The queer
feature in this matter is how Guiteau has
managed to get information as to the "a.
vorAblp condition Of tho President and the
opinions expressed by bis physicians. The
appearance Of the assassin has changed
but little since his commitment 10 Jail.
