GUITEAU AND THE CONSPIRACY THEORY.
 Guiteau is still at the jail and getting quite used to the ways of the institWtion. He cleans up his cell every morning as neatly as if he was practical housekeeper. He is still confined in the cell in which he was first placed in the right corridor of the south wing of the jail, which is so situated as to be in constant view of the guards in the TO- prisoner to some portion or the building where he would be more isolated, but 1t was found that the removal of one or two other prisoners would answer the purpose just as well and this was done. Guiteau spends
 most of his time lying or sitting on his cot and does not seem much inclined to talk ex- cept to enquire about the result and the wounds. He makes no complaints of accom-
 modations or the fare, and seems to have no apprehensions of the result of his trial A military guard from the Second artillery is
 still on duty and quartered at Lincoln Park,
 but there is no sentry stationed by the cell
 because it is unnecessary. The orders at
 the jail are even now moro strict than they
 were. The orders prevent conversation with Guiteau by either the officers or attendants.
 The report that he heard that the President
 was dead and had written letter to give
 to Arthur as President is incorrect.
 This morning he, however, sent for Colonel Corkhill, who went down to sec him about
 o'clock and had long interview with the
 prisoner. This took place in the warden's
 office, and as Guiteau was brought out he ap-
 peared in light spirits and his face frightened up fSass if he was meeting one of his best friends. This interview lasted an hour and 8
 half, and at it's close Guibeau walked back to his cell lightly. The distant attorney re-
 fused to disclose the nature of the interview, but says the prisoner had nothing of import ance to communicate. The prisoner was shown one of the photographs taken of him by an artist. He did not seem to think it was good picture. The fact is, however, that it is very good picture. A phrenologist says the picture does not give the idea of either q brutal criminal or 8 crazy person. The ex- precision of the eye and face is rather that of fanatic or enthusiast. The development of | the brain indicates enormous self-esteem. The prisoner has learned to relish his l portion of the prison fare, something he could not relish when he was l first incarcerated. He looks readily to all lswho approach him withS thes desire | to converse and is constantly inquiring after the Presidents condition. He is little more careful with his statements as to his
 ideas of the Presidents possible recovery. | Considerable talk has been indulged in since | the arrest of Guiteau with regard to the
 means by which he managed to get money to | purchase the revolver which he used in shooting the President. It was known that for weeks he was without money and had been beating his board bills. Yet he had

At 10:30 another bulletin was issued giving still further encouragement in it's announce ment that his condition showed further inn provement, his pulse being 96 and his tenn perature normal. Secretaries Windom and Kirkwood and Postmaster General James and Mrs James came to the White House at g a. m. Mrs. James spent the day with Mrs. Garfield. The Cabinet officers mentioned re- mained long enough to be assured by this mornings bulletin and then went away to attend to the duties of their several depart ments.
 Letters and telegrams continue to pour in to the White House in great numbers from all parts of the country and Europe. The Washington postofice reports more than double the amount of letters. Fitz John Porter writes denouncing the assassin as 8 miserable lunatic who has thrown our whole country into mourning and ruin The the ory uttermost is that some other half crazy office seeker will go and do likewise. Is there no way to make our rulers safe from the as- Saults of these scOundrelS?

ment that has hung about the capital for the past five days was seen at the War depart ment this afternoon. A miserably drunken fellow, respectable probably when sober, found his way into the corridors and forced his way into the office of Adjutant General Drum He began to talk loudly about the danger the country was in, and in his excite ment Knocked down handsome dropEght. By this time it was thought best to put the stranger out. He kept all corners at 8 dis tanpe, however, and fourishing his arms cried out, eff Garfield dies it will be all right, for Arthur will die too if I have to kill hlm myself" Under the circumstances such 8 remark, even from drunken man, was enough to create 8 sensation. The police were sent for and the fellow was literally car ried out. A great crowd was collected and quite an excitement prevailed. The fellow, whom no one seems to know, was not placed under arrest, but was taken to place of safety in a hack. He was awfully drunk and was totally irresponsible for what he said.
 Another lunatie walked up to the door keeper at the White House this morning and said: 1T am directed by God to apply this salve to the wounds of the President, which will then be instantly cured" He was driv- en of. Bedlam seems to have broken loose Those who have given the subject attention have frequently noticed that insane persons take their cue from any prevailing excite ment. They read the newspapers and hsten to talk till their added brains are filled with a notion that they are in some way connected with the great events that are stirring socie- ty.
 " THE wATCHERs BY THE BEDSIDE.
 The interpretation of the last bulletin is sued tonight cannot be construed as in any way unfavorable to the President. An increase of eight in the pulse action is by no means alarming since it was expected by all the physicians, and the only surprise is that there was no greater increase. Mrs. Dr. Edson and Mrs. Garfield were with the Presi- dent when the Cabinet officers and Drs. Barnes and Woodward went home. Mrs. Garfield went to bed soon after, still full of confidence, and Mrs Edson sat by the patient until midnight, when she was relieved by General Swain, with whom Colonel Rockwell kept company dur ing the rest of the night. Drs. Bliss and Reyburn will be near by until morning and thus anoth- CT night, the events of which are not expect ed to be alarming. is entered upon and all hope for 8 still brighter day tomorrow.
 THE PRESIDENT TAKING NoURIsHING FOOD.
 The President never complains when it becomes necessary to move him to examine and dress the wound. He assists in the operation to the best of his ability and asks questions of his condition.
