EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, July
S.-Mrs. Garfield went out for drive
this morning with Mrs Col Rockwell.
This is the first time she has been away
from the executive mansion since her ar
rival from Long Branch last Saturday
DEPRESSING WEATHER.
The Presidents pulse this morning re-
ceded again, though he did not pass as
good night as the night before. The
storm of yesterday morning appeared to
have some depressing effect, but towards
midnight the symptoms showed ralIying
from that DR.. Bliss said at l O'Clock
tory.
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE.
Experiments for lowering the tempera-
ture of the Presidents room are still be-
ing tried. Prof. Dosey, mining engineer,
is here at work at the navy yard prepar-
ing an apparatus for COMPRISING cold
air, on the principle on which the tenn
perature of mines is cooled If other
things fail it is intended to try this.
PRESIDENTIAL INABILITY.
There is talk here to-day about what
constitutes inability of President, such
as would entitle the Vice President to as
sumo the head of affairs The constitu-
ton provides that the Vice President
succeeds to power in case of the
death, resignation or the i'll
ability of the President. Some
say the Presidents condition is
one of inability, but discussion of this
question grows entirely out of desire to
talk and telegraph something The
Presidents continued improvement
makes everything so quiet that there is
but little in the way of something new,
and hence this sort of tendency. Vice
President Arthur IS too sincerely rejoiced
at the Presidents improvement to give
thought to the condition that would
give him the office Indeed, presidential
asperity is the last thing he wants now
If the Presidents condition continues fa-
vorable TO morrow morning, the Vice
President will return TO New York
GREATLY ENCOURAGED.
New YORK, July S.-The C0mmercial' $
Washington special says: The President
continues in very favorable condition
He has exhibited more strength than any
time since the shooting and everybody is
much encouraged. Mrs. Garfield was
much refreshed by her ride this morning
and more confident feeling prevails at
the White House this afternoon than has
been observed since Saturday. The doctors
say they are much encouraged by the pro-
gress of suppuration and that the fever is
not by any means what they anticipated.
THE TURNING POINT.
The Brooklyn Eagles Washington cor
respondent says: The most important
piece of news to-day from the bedroom
of the President is that the wound has
begun to discharge with the true "laud-
able pus," bywhich is meant discharge of
matterindlcating the absence of conditions
which have made them fear blood pois-
oning This | understand is the turn
ing point of the case Had the discharge
been either not laudable, or been from
the inner instead of the outer wall of
the abdomen, the chances of recovery
would have been very doubtful. 1t can
now be stated, on the authority of Dr.
Bliss, that the chances are largely on the
side of recovery. There is no difficult
ty remaining which the doctors
do not feel confident of their
ability to overcome. The atmosphere
of the White House is positively hilari-
Gus to-day, cabinet minister says about
like boys at picnic, or rather like poll
tieians who have just learned that des-
perately close election has been decided
in their favor As Secretary Hunt ex-
pressed it: "This has been nip and tuck,
but tuck has got the best of it and we
are all ready to have glorifcation
GUITEUAs's SANITY.
WASHINGTON, July S.-Chief Brooks,
of the secret service division, who is in
vestigating the assassination TO see if
Guiteau had any confederates says, to-
day our investigations are about over.
We have looked over the whole field
There is really nothing that has been
published in the case except the name of
the unfortunate gentleman who through
mistaken benevolence, lent Guiteau mon
ey, believing it was to help him pay his
board. This would probably be of no
Importance to any except that gentleman
himself. To make it public would be do
ing great wrong, people are so apt to
discredit what person says or does.
'Doyou think from your examination
of Guiteau that he is lnsaneY''
"He is an eccentric man, man who
would be fanatlcal about any sub
ject he might dabble in He
would go to extremes l do not
think that anything he said to me indi-
dicated irrationality. He is as sane as
any man. An insane man of monoma-
MAC, rather excites ones pity. He ex-
cites antagonism. Ones opposition is to
argue with him when one meets him.
