his condition does not differ materially
from what it was yesterday ct the same
hour. The swelling of the parotid gland
Is unchanged, and is free from pain. This
morning his pulse is SO, temperature 1874,
respiration IS.
DR.. Bliss feels much encouraged at the
condition he found his patient in the morn
ing. just before the morning dressing oc-
Cured DR.. Bliss came into Private Secre-
tary Browns room, and said, in reply to
inquiries regarding the President, that he
had passed a very comfortable night.
He slept well, and in the last twelve hours
had shown considerable improvement.
About 10 o'clock an enema was admins
tered, and about 2 O'Clock the patient too
about two ounces Of milk Cruel. After
that he rested quietly Until daylight. DIR.
Bliss added: He shows improvement since
yesterday. / saw hin only a few moments
ago. He was lying there as quietly as
could be. l took bis pulse. 1t was about
96. and his respira ion was about is. His
skin was cool and moist. and his pulse soft
and clear. The swelling of the parotid
gland affects him as the mumps. would.
He told me this morning that his mouth
would not open but half an inch. The
swelling is not SO much now, but the
soreness affects the muscles of the jaw and
causes a collection of phlegm in the throat,
but he clears his throat so loudly that he
can be heard in the next room.
Hos A. M.-Unoficial bulletin: The
President has taken nourishment through
the mouth several times to-day, and in
considerable quantities. In all he has
sw allowed ten ounces Of koumiss and -four
ounces Of milk cruel without gastric dis
turbance. 1t has not been thought pru-
lent up to the present time to give him
any other kind Of liquid food, but the
| juice of beefsteak is being prepared and
will be tried soon. Ii it be retained and
assimilated, beef juice will hereafter be
given every day. An enema was admins
tered to the patient this morning, consist
ing of three aud one-half ounces of beef
extract with the yolk Of an Egg. In re-
| Spouse to an inquiry, DIR. Boynton said at
11:15 A. NJ: The President continues to I'M
| prove slowly, and everything is favorable.
1t is worthy Of notice that the condition Of
the patient this morning. as shown by the
$50 bulletin, was better, so far as the
pulse, temperature and respiration are con-
cerned, than at any corresponding hour
during the past eleven days. On Aug. 9
the patients pulse was SO, temperature
1913, respiration 10. Since that time the
pulse has never been below 100, morning
or evening, until this morning, when it
was again SO, with temperature and respir-
alton cor~respondingly improved. 1t is
hoped that this fall Of pulse below 100 in
dicates q gradual return to the favorable
conditions which existed about a week be-
fore the last operation.
1880 P. M.-Oficial Bulletins: The Pres
ident-eontinues to do we'll. He is taking
liquid food by mouth i'll increased guam
tity, and with relish. Nutritiye enema
is still successfully given, but at longer in
%tervals. His pulse is now lot, temper
allure 1874, respiration 18.
At the morning dressing the wound was
doing well and the pus discharged wa of
a healthy character. After the operation
OF Aug. 8 the flexible tube used to wash
out the wound at each dressing readily
followed the ball to a depth OF 81 or 4
inches. At the dressing, however, a small
quantity of healthy pus cam as was be-
leved from the part of the track beyond
this point either spontaneously or after
gentle pressure over the anterior surface
of right lilac region. but this deeper part
of the track was not reached by the tube
until yesterday morning. when the separa-
ton Of a small slough permitted it to pass
downward and forward for a distance of
1913 inches from the externsl surface of
the last incision. This facilitates the
draining and cleansing of the deeper parts
of the wound, but has not been followed
by any increase in the quantity Of pus dis
charged, the large pus cavity which had

Blaine to Lowell-2 p. NAH reports
indicate that the Presidents condition is
about the same as yesterday. There is
certainly no less and no very marked gain.

.Guiteau's Thirst for N~Otoriety.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The recent dem.
onstration OF the wretch Guiteau seems to
have had no other incentive than his in
ordinate desire for notoriety. When Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill was here he visited
him almost daily. He gave him a steno-
grapher to take down his endless Jun BILE
Of words, and in various other ways led
Guit+au to stink himself an important per-
sonage. His picture was taken, and the
wretch seemed to know it would be sought
for everywhere, and this. fed his vanity.
Since Corkhll left. Guiteau, with the ex-
ception OF an occasional visit from the
Warden, has been treated the same as the
other prisoners. He has been somewhat
arrogant to his keepers, but that did not
change his treatment. Some DAYS ago he
complained Of a headache, and imperiously
ordered a bandage for it, which not com
ing as promptly AS he thought it should, he
tore up his pillow case for a bandage, ami
as discipline for misdemeanor his next
meal was made OF bread and water, of
which be complained to Warden Crocker,
asserting that the value Of the pillow case
should not be taken into account when it
was needed to relieve pain.
Collision Between Whites and

two after the mother of the children met
the negro and gave him a terrible beating.
A negro preacher took part and assau ted
