Jay Gould Upon Tice President. ArtIur
:. New YORK., Aug. 2S.-From the Tribune
Jay Gould expressed deep sorrow yesterday at
the probability of the Presidents death. His
feeling of sympathy with Mrs. Garfield and
other members of the family is very great
81 have talked frequently with several bankers
and merchants who are acquainted with Mr..
Arthur, and from these conversations 1 am
inclined to believe he will pursue a conserva-
tive policy, and that he will make an excellent
executive officer. I have no doubt Arthur
will make some changes in the cabinet It will
be natural for him to appoint an eastern man
secretary of the treasury, if he makes any
change in that department. The great busi-
ness of the treasury is here at New York and
at Philadelphia. 1t is proper some man here,
familiar with business, should be placed at the
head of the treasury. Such an appointment
would be desirable and satisfactory. Arthur
is my man, and all his associations have been
with New York men of business. Naturally
he would select some Eastern man to conduct
the business of the treasury Window has
made very good secretary, but really do
not know how much experience he had with
financial matters. The effect of the Presi-
dents death will be nothing so far as the
business of the country is concerned. That
will move right along without disturbance.
am very sorry, indeed, for the Presidents wife,
MIR. Gould concluded, very sorry indeed It
will be terrible blow to her aGd the other
members of the family. 1 am very sorry for
them all

was issued. The probability of death is be-
lieved to be gradually lessening. A very
confident feeling has taken the place of
the despondency which was apparent
at the White house last night
and hope has again taken strong hold. The
effect of to-day's good tidings is everywhere
noticeable in the better feeling that prevailed.
Gloom has been lifted from the city. The
President has rested quietly and he has had
nothing to disturb him. He has perceptibly
improved, during the day, though it was not
marked improvement until it could be
said at five [o'clock that the President
was better than he was at noon.
He has talked but very little, but that has
been because they would not let HIM talk.
His pulse has remained pretty steady, and, it
is claimed, tits improved in tone and charac-
ter. The flyer beats of the pulse were from
LOG to los per minute. His general appear
ance has improved, and his skin is soft and
moist. At 5 O'Clock General Swain sent off
was better than aH'' he had s BEEN eS'ufos for
a week past. Col. Rockwell endorsed this
which was not prescribed in any
but made without any quail flea
ton. "He is holding right up to the mark"
said Col. Rockwell. Col. Rockwell, continu-
ing, said: "There is an improvement all
around. mean to inclnde every symptom.
He is going to get well, believe. Remember
at the same time that the President is still
IN MOST DANGEROUS CONDITION.
We take the good the Lord sends us and
will thank him for more of the same kind"
At $50 this afternoon Marshal Henry, who
came to the private part of the house, report
ed that the President was resting quiet
ly. The heavy stupor, which was
an alarming feature yesterday, has
disappeared. Secretary Window said at $50
as he came from the surgeons room, the
President is still better. Gen Swain said at =
p. m: There is nothing in the least unfavor-
able. Mrs. Garfield went out driving at $50.
She was accompanied by her son, Mr.. Ru-
tolph, and Miss Mollie Garfield 1t is re-
garded at the White house as a very good
sign when Mrs. Garfield takes drive. She
never goes out when there is no improvement
in the Presidents condition.

AnOther Relapse Not Probable.

WASHINGTON. Aug, est is regarded this
evening the Presidents rally has been of such
character that a further relapse, while
among the possibilities is not probable.
Commencing at yesterday afternoon
there had beer, up to 1 o'clock tonight,
twenty-seven hours in which the President
was pronounced as improving. The i'm
improvement is not diminished in strength
or less! marked tonight. The sixtieth
day of the Presidents illness is regarded by
many as the most desirable to be passed. To-
day is the fifty seventh since the wound was
inflicted. DIR. Woodward said, when the
wound was twelve hours old, the President
might last twenty or thirty days and then
die. If, however, he said, the President is
alive at kthe close of the sixtieth day from
the shooting, the danger will be over, and he
will live. The sixthieth day will
be over Wednesday. The White house this
afternoon and evening looked as 1t did in the
palmy days when twas believed the President
was certainly on the broad highway to
recovery, and that the desired ending of sick
ness was but a short time ahead.
