POstmaster-General James called
this morning. When leaving the
cabinet room he said: "Y GU know, |
have never lost confidence in the
Presidents recovery. To-day that
confidence is greatly increased
Secretary Window came to the
house shortly afterwards, and left
saving, from what he learned from
the physicians he thought the Presi-
dents condition more favorable.
The bulletins issued last evening
and this morning were fuller than
their predecessors, in consequence
of the decision Of the physicians in
attendance not to say any
thing individually, but to express
themselves more completely in their
official promulgatiOns. Despite that
determination everything was so
satisfactory, to-day, that the physl-
clans could not abstain from eX-
pressing their hopeful opinions. 1t
is understood that the surgeons are
well enough satisfied with Prof.
Bells induction balance to give it a
trial. in case it may yet be discovered
that the ball is doing mischief.
There are no indications of such
mischief yet.
Hon. Clarkson n. Potter, Hon.
George A. Casson, Hon. 0. f. Howe,
who has just returned from his
duties as a member of the interna-
tionsl monetary conference, and
Representative DeZendOrf, were
among the callers at the White
House to-day. The sensational story
about the President being at one
time regarded as about to die, and
the Vice-President being on hand
with the justice of the Supreme
Court ready to swear in the new
President. lacks the essential ele-
ment Of truth. Since the two days
Immediately succeeding the shot OF
Guitteau, the doctors never
despaired of the Presidents life and
certainly nothing that indicated the
slightest foundation for the story
mentioned has ever occurred.

worthy Of mention. He does no
seem to Lave any friends. Hi'
brother-in-law was here, but he dl(
not appear to take any special inter

ity, however. Guitteau is as quie

have made up his mind to patientl,,
await the result. He knows enougl
not to talk. He has sense enough TO
| that He has not expressed a deslr
to talk with anyone except MI
