Washington, 5.-Telegrams were
received to-day from Senator Ma
hone, August Belmont, Lieutenant
Greeley, of the Lady Franklin Bay
expedition, from the alumni of Will
liam College, inclosing resolutions
to which the President replied, and
from Hamilton Fish, for the Union
League Club, to which Secretary
Blaine replied for the President, and
one from Gen. Hancock, enclosing
resolutions by the National Rifle
Association.
Croker, the jail warden, says Giut-
teau passed a restless night, but ate
hearty breakfast. He nervously
said he would like just one square
hotel meal. He is anxious about the
Presidents condition, earnestly hopes
he will die and unite the republican
party. Croker thinks him a poll
tical fanatic, although intelligent on
some subjects. He doesn't believe
him insane. He only allowed his
picture taken because he was told
that Bell was one of the best artists
in the country. He said to Bell:
"See that you do nae full justice, and
get correct expression of my eyes. "
He prepared carefully for the sit
ting, and very nationally.
Condolences were received from
the President of Hayti, from the
King Of Italy, the King of Denmark
and Stanley Matthews.
To-day Mrs. Garfield and family
took dinner together for the first
time since the President was shot.
In their great anxiety hitherto there
have been no regular meals. Mem
bers of the family would drop into
the dining room individually and
take some food, but to-day things
looked so much brighter that the
family dined together. Interest in
the Presidents condition all over
the country is evidenced by tele-
grams, and by much unpublished
advice that comes by mail and tele-
graph from every section. Physici-
ans throughout the country write
and telegraph about similar wounds
that have come under their treat
ment and advise how the President
should be dealt with. There is much
advice from soldiers of the late war
who have seen all kinds of gunshot
wounds and know how they were
treated. They describe particular
cases and the treatment. Quacks
pour in the most abundant advice,
and say if the Presidents life is to
be saved it is only by the adoption
of the method which they recon-
mend.
The bulletins and reports of to-day
had the effect of keeping the usual
evening crowd from in front Of the
White House and of reducing the
very large number of visitors to the
house. Outside of newspaper men,
members of the cabinet and one or
two foreign ministers. there were
very few people at the White House
this afternoon.
Vice-President Arthur called ct
500 accompanied by Senator Jones,
and proceeded to Private Secretary
Browns room. The only members
of the cabinet then in the house
were Window, Hunt and Lincoln.
Arthur expressed a desire to see the
President IF nOCCihlp
Baltimore, Md, 5.-The city coun-
Gil adopted fitting resolutions, very
touching in their tribute to the
Presidents character.
Boston, 5.-Guitteau established a
reputation as dead beat here In the
life insurance business. He was
also accused of theft at the state
house, whose door keeper invited
him to adjourn sine die.
New York, 5.-Conkling was in
his room all the morning. About
noon he walked up Broadway rap
idly. nobody knew whittier. The
clerk thought he hadn't left his
room.
A reporter called on DR.. Willard
Parker, ST., who had gone out of
town for the day, but DR.. Willard
Parker, jr., said in his fathers alb
sence that DR.. Parker had followed
the case with great interest, but had
small hopes of the Presidents re-
covery. His constitution and the
fact that alarming Inflammation had
not set in were favorable features in
the case, but the character of the
wound and the presence of a ball IN
the abdominal cavity were very
serious. The percentage of recoY-
cries from such wounds was small
'My father hopes" says DR.. Willard
Parker, jr., "that nature will be al
lowed to act as much as possible"
He fears too many doctors may
spoil the patient, even if nature
could save him.
DIR. Frank II. Hamilton dictated
as follows: The news this morning
is very comforting, if not abso-
lutely encouraging The fact that
he is now, in the fourth day since
