Special to the SENTINEL

WASHINGTON, August $3.50 a. M.-The
President slept TRANQUILITY the greater part
of the night. This morning temperature
is normal, and his general condition salts
factory. Another day of favorable pro-
gress is anticipated. AT present his pulse
is 90; temperature. 9s.4; respiration, IS.
8 P. M.-The President continues to

talking considerably with his wife. He is

steak on his fork and asked DR.. Bliss how
much he could eat. DIR. Bliss answered,
/" Don't bite off more han you can chew,
Mr.. President" DR.. Bliss says the Presi-

Guiteau DESTROYS of Being BaiIed
but of Prison.
New YORK, August g. The Tribune's
Washington special says: District At
torney Corkhill visited the jail to-day for the
first time in ten days. His visit was in
consequence Of a notification fir ON 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 a folded paper. This
was found by Corkhill to be a petition
drawn up in the hand writing of the
assassin, petitioning for his release from
Jail, on bail in the sum SIS, 900. Guiteau
bases his claim for release on bail upon
the fact that the President is now regarded
as being out Of danger, and that his physi-
clans concur in stating that there is no
probability whatever OF another relapse.
The constructian of the petition shows
considerable familiarity with the forms
and methods of law, and the document
throughout is drawn NJ with a conciseness
and exactness that indicate anything but
insanity. Guiteau was very anxious that
the District Attorney should take prompt
action on his prayer for release, and init
mated that in the event of favorable con-
sideration Of his petition he would nave
no difficulty in securing bondsmen in the
sum indicated. The queer feature in the
matter is how Guiteau has managed to get
information as to the favorable condition
of the President and the opinions ex-
pressed by the physicians. The appear
ance of the assassin has changed but little
since his commitment to Jail. His COM
plexion has paled somewhat, and he moves
with a languor that is slightly different
from the lounging, manner noticeable at
the time of his incarceration.

Times, each in a leading editorial, declare

agement, is to be found in legislation, and
that the only effective legislation must
come from Washington. The Herald says
much can be lone by State enactments,
and what can be done, should be lone by
every State. The Times SAYS it can only
be secured through proper legislation by
each State applicable to interstate traffic,
and proper legislation by the nation, ap-
plicable to interstate traffic.
A Desperate Encounter with
Burglars.

it up to the hilt. He was even then unable

identifying him. Shea was taken to the
Hospital. He has few chances OF recovery.
