''He has n, been under the influence of opiatss for mol than 8 week." =z | A FEMALE acEANKn TURNS UP.
 A crazy woman was arrested at the Whit House gate this morning. When taken | the Insane Asylum she was found to | l dressed in bathing tstights underneath th rich clothing that she wore. She gives he name as Mrs. Pauline Remenice. She sai | she was about to take bath at Manhatta Beach yesterday, when she saw dispatc written on the sand of the sea shore tellin her to go to Washington and cure the Pres dent by taking blood from her arm an transferring it to the body of the President ! that Dr. Bliss had poisoned the President al ter Dr. Hamilton had nearly cured him, an l that Bliss also poisoned himself. She say Bliss is no good, and that she can cure tn President quicker than all the doctors to gether. She has discarded her own dres and now wears her bathing suit with shor pants, long figured stockings and neat fit | her satchel, and with her hair brushed bacl looks quite jaunty. In her moments of ex cltement she puts on the attitudes and styl of an actress. Her relatives, who reside il Brooklyn, have been sent for
 THE DOCTORS STILL CONFIDENT, One of the best indications to the publi, has been the absence of both consulting phy sicians to night for the first time during tn, week. The bulletin was signed by only tn. aftandJnO r1hvSicionS D1- Hop Iof4 e, New York at 2:1O P. m- Dr. Agnew arrived from Philadelphia at 1O:1O p. m. Before go ing away Dr. Hamilton said the President wal so we'll that it was unnecessary for him to re main here, but he would return in few days in pursuance of his arrangement with Dr. Agnew. The improvement of the patient has shown itself in the faces of the doctors and all the household. Mrs. Garfield took her usual evening drive and appeared in excellent spirits. General Swain said to a personal friend to-day, T think now he will go right along" Colonel Rockwell is equally as con fdent- Dr. Boynton, who has been acting as nurse since Crump was taken sick, has had a good chance to watch the President He says he has adequate vitality left for rapid i'm provement when all obstacles are re- moved. Dr. Boynton has carefully watched the inflammation of the parotid gland and does not consider it as likely to cause more trouble, He was asked to-day how 1t was progressing. ''It appears to be diminishing" ''Does it cause the President much annoyance?" t'It is slightly painful yet, but the swelling is now scarcely notice able" Do you think it will suppurate ?" ''It may do so possibly, but it seems now to be scattered" 'sDoes the President have strong desire to eat ?'' 'sHe has no sharp appetite, but takes all nourishment without hesitation. He seems best to enjoy the milk gruel which is prepared for him by Mrs Garfield" What do you consider the most important feature of the case, doctor ?" The condition of the stomach by all means" ''And that seems to be improving?" ''Oh, yes." "To be much better than yesterday ?" Undoubtedly, but he is still very weak and his progress will be very slow"
 THE EVENING AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
 The Cabinet officers retired from the man. sion at 10 D. m. All were present during the evening. The assurances received from what they had learned seemed to put renewed hope in their hearts. Even Attorney General Mo Veagh said the President seemed to be better Postmaster General James says he'll do now. Dr. Bliss went to the depot after Dr. Agnew at 1O:1O p. m. and the latter was of the state of the case, upon which he decided to go directly to the At torney General where he has been stopping since the case began. Dr. Bliss returned to the White House and has gone to bed. Dr. Reyburn keeps him company. Mrs. Edson has the early watch by the sick bed and Gen. eral Swain relieves her at a. m. Secretary Brown closed the mansion and went home at II p. m. At that hour the President was asleep and the indications were good for a comfortable night.
 NO PROBE INSERTED IN THE WOUND.
 At 11:3O p. m. Dr. Bliss was communica- ted with by telephone to the surgeons room in regard to a rumor in circulation tonight 41aa { 1>ol 1H1l yesterday or to-day to depth of eleven inches. He replied in substance that noth- lg like probe had been used in the wound since the curved instrument was inserted to facilitate the last incision, nearly two weeks ago. A cleansing tube was inserted at each dressing of the wound. This was sometimes passed in further than at others, but had never gone beyond three and half inches from the mouth of the last incision since that incision was made. The doctor was asked how the President was at that hour. s'Doing nicely" said he, 'tI have just sponged him off and he has gone to sleep again" 'sHow is the pulse p 108. This was the last direct news from the sick room.
 GUITEAU THOROUGHLY AFRAID OF HIS NECK. The excitement attending Guiteau's attack on Jailer McGill has about died out, and 1t is very little talked about outside. Guiteau to- day was perfectly quiet, having entirely recov- cred from his late passion. Ho is inclined to talk to his keepers on the subject of his. at tack on the guard, but requests them to say as little about it as possible. It is evident from his manner that he realizes that the peo- pie are aroused against him, and fears that his recent outbreak will cause them to be more incensed than they have been. One of the guards said to-day: 'It has been hard week on Guiteau. He has been restless ever since Saturday night, and 1t is evident the wretch is fully aware of the Presidents pre- ,arious condition. and fears that if he dies 1is own life will be in jeopardy" Assistant Warden Russ said he never thought Guiteau escaping. He believes that if hey were to throw open all the doors of the ail and tell him to go he would not attempt t. He knows full well how eager the people Ire to get at him and wreak vengeance on 1im.
