PHILADELPHIA, July Cdr. d.
Hayes Agnew in conversation with
a reporter to-day, said: 81 think it
safe to say that the presidents
chances of recovery have undergone
a very great improvement since yes
terday. I never thought it at all i'm
possible from the nature of the wound
that he should recover Numbers of
wounds of the same kind are received
from time to time and perhaps a
majority of them prove fatal,
but many are successfully treated and
there has been no particular reason
why this should not be. I always re-
garded the soreness of the feet as en-
tirely a reflex in character and due to
liberation of the nerves in the back.
The subsistence cannot be over-esti-
mated as a sign in the presidents ia
vor. A cessation of vomiting is also
a very important advantage. The
principal danger yet to be appre-
hended is from peritonitis, and every
hour that passes improves the presi-
chances of escaping it. If he
goes over tonight without the ap-
pearance of this inflammation he ought
to recover.
No one is with the president just
now, 9:31 p. m, but Mrs. DIR. Edison,
who will sit up with him until mid
The physicians are within
easy call. The presidents symptoms
Ire unchanged. All the cabinet Off
,ers and their ladies called at the ex-
mansion about 8 o'clock
md remained several hours. Most
the foreign ministers called in time
receive a copy of the last official
bulletin and to cable the contents to
heir respective governments. The
spanish, English and japanese min
have called in person sew
,ral times during the day. Justice
of the supreme court, and
Colonel Robert Ingersoll, were also
.mong the callers in the evening.
No one has been admitted to the
Presidents except the physicians
md the nurses. The president has
been dissuaded from talking or do
ng anything that would tend to
or excite him. The arrange
nents for reducing the temperature
# the presidents room are only tenn
,orary and will be replaced in a day
,r two with the most
approved refrigorating apparatus.
They have proved very satisfactory
II maintaining a latent and uniform
emperature. A telegram has been
ent to New York tonight for a pat
mt cooling apparatus, which consists
# porous cloths suspended from a
urbine wheel and moistened in ice
anks. 1t is expected to be ready for
Use tomorrow.
TRYING TO LIE OUT OF 1T.
Guiteau denied that after the shoot
ng he said, 81 am a stalwart and
his makes Arthur president" Officer
Searney, who made the arrest, was
.skcd about the matter and replied:
IF Guiteau says he did not use the
language, he speaks a falsehood." The
,ficer further said that if it was nee
,ssary he was would go before a notary
and take an oath that Guiteau
lid use the languagea attributed to him.
DID NOT TRY TO SHOOT BLAINE.
There is abundent evidence to dis
prove the story that has been circu-
ated that after shooting the president
iuiteau turned his revolver toward
Secretary Blaine, with the evident
Intention of shooting him also, but
vas prevented by Benson, formerly
IF the secret service division. The
story is denied by Ticket Agents
Smith and Parke and others, who
,aw Guiteau shoot the president.
They say that Benson instantly
,rasped Guiteau by the throat and
bore him to the ground. Mr.. Parke
says that Guiteau made no resistance
whatever toward Secretary Blaine,
