the detectives who saw him. being I'M
able 10 write, forgot all Gulieau told
him when he was called upon TO make
report of the interview he had with
him, and another detective had TO be
sent to complete the work.
THE HIDDEN BULLET.
AS has been before stated, no effort
will be made to extract the ball unless
it is found necessary to save the Presi-
dents life by so doing. The present
theory is that it is located 10 some
place where it is not doing any partic-
uar harm and thatit is better to lei it
remain there than hunt after it. The
danger of blood poisoning has passed
away, much 10 the JOY Of the physici-
ans, who now do not anticipate any
trouble from that symptom.
DRLICACIEs FOR THE PATIENT.
Among the delicacies sent TO the
White House today was dish Of
woodcsck, prepared by gentleman in
the adjuta1..genera's Office, More
wines and other liquors were received,
but Of course were not used.
THE COURSE OF THE LAW.
The grand and petit juries were dis
charged today for one week. 1t is
thought that by that time the Presi-
dents health will be so much improved
that the investigation Of the case can be
begun by the grand jury. 1t will not
be necessary to take the Presidents
testimony. as others were present and
saw the shooting. Neither will it be
necessary for him to appear as wit
ness in the case when it goes to trial
before petit jury. 1t is thought that it
will be extremely difficult TO get a jury
oftwelve men who have not formed or
expressed AN opinion, though this will
not be necessary when the case Is that
of an assault with intent to kill, in
which form the case from present indi-
cations is liable to be. The case being
of 80 much importance, aud interesting
as 1t does every one, it Is hardly possl'
BILE TO get Jury anywhere OF the kind
that the law wants, as every one who
can think aud talk has formed aud ex'
pressed opinions hundreds Of tines Oh
il.
APPEALING TO THE SUPREME RULER
The President this morning asked one
of bis intimate friends, who was stand
ing at his bedside, if 1t was true that
the Catholics were celebrating masse 8
IN the behalf, as it seems that he had
heard some remarks dropped on the
subject. Being informed that such was
the case he exhibited much feeling. an
SAID that he could hot be too deeply
sensible of the kindness and Christian
sympathy which had been shown toward
him, and he further remarked that II he
recovered he felt that he should make
some public acknowledgment to the
Catholics aud other religious denomlna-
tons which had held special services OH
his account,
In the Hebrew synagOgucs to day i'm
presslve ceremonies and prayers were
held for The President. At The Eighth
Street Synagogue, where the whole cou-
gregauon on last Saturday spontaneous
ly offered up prayer within icw min
ules af.er the attack oil the Pr sldont,
the services were quite elaborate.
FAMILY MEETING
The President for the first time since
the attack upon him net all OF bis chil'
dren this morning, expressing a desire
to that effect as soon as his wounds
were dressed. Mrs. Garfield was not
present, as she was out driving at the
time. The children were cautioned TO
make no strong demonstrations, and
the interview was therefore very quiet,
but none the less affecting. The Presl-
dent kissed them all, and told them to
be cheerful and to do nothing which
could give their mother any trouble.
CHANGE CONTEMPLATED.
Ifthe Presidents condition will admit
It Is probable that in few days he will
be removed to the Soldiers Home,
where there will be no need Of artificial
appliances to lower the temperature or
produce fresh currents of lir. He could
be placed on spring mattress on II
stretcher and carried out by relays OF
strong men in the early morning, or in
the long twilight OF the gening. when
the heat would net be oppressive. I Q
change would also be ven beneficial 10
Mrs. Garfield.
ACCOUNTING FOR TIE Hon TEMPER
AZURE.
The evening bulletin ssued as $40
was hardly as satistactor as the physl
clans liked, the temperatrc OF the body
keeping up 80 high. TIE temperature
can. however. 90 up muc higher before
it IS regarded as dungeons symptom.
Asa matter Of fact, leases OF thi-
kind the patients are aways IN their
worst condition In the sening. This
has been noticed by all surgeons, and
has specially been noted n this case.
There were but few a5ut the Execu-
tive Mansion this evenlngat any hour.
The afternoon papers resented such
a hopeful condition Of hings that all
idea OF danger seems to hive passed out
IF the minds of the publ.
