The Assassin,s Fears OF a Mob.


WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-District Attorney
Corkhill said tonight that Guiteau would be
guarded and protected from any hands except
those of the law. He said nobody but officials
would be permitted to see Cuiteau until he
shall be arraigned for trial. The assassin is
fearful that some outsider meditates an attack
on him but how he received this impression is
unknown, unless from observing that the
number of soldiers had been increased. Usual
ly ne inquiries from the guards, as they come
on duty, for the latest news from the Presi-
dent, and receives the stereOtyped answer,
"Improving at last accounts" to which he
replies, II am glad to hear it." He is still
engaged in writing. Some of his
illusions are directed to outside par
ties in reference to procuring bail, while
others purport to give an account of
the alleged version that inspired him to
shot the President. and his reasons for the
shooting, such as have been published over
and over again. Since the episode with Guard
McGill a, few days ago he has been quite
that occurrence, seeing Mr.. McGill in the rO-
tunda, he demanded to know why he was not
locked I'D, claimsng that McGill was as guilty
ms he was, only McGili failed to shoot. Sub
seauently he addressed letter to an
official outside whom he regards as stalwart
friend. requesting him to 60 to Judge Miller
and make charge of assault with intent to
kill, against McGill, ''on information and be-
lief" It is needless to say this latter has not
been sent to the party it was addressed to.
officials at the Jail give out this state
ment that all Inquiries of the Guiteau
about the President are answered
either evasively, or that he is improving, but
the indications are that from some source or
other Guiteau gets information as to the
Presidents actual condition. He has grown
very nervous, and is in constant dread of an
attack from outside of the Jail, which shows
that he knows of the critical condition of the
President.

WJll Survive the Night.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Dr. Boynton said
at 1880 tonight that the Presidents condi-
ton and prospects could be briefly stated, and
that if he had vitality enough left to sustain
him until the blood poisoning can be con-
conquered he will recover. If not he will die.
DR.. Boynton said the blood poisoning had
caused all the trouble with the President; that
but for that he would be up now. He
said the swelling of the parotid gland contn-
ues about the same, ana discharges mainly
through the ear. The President does not suffer
much now with concentration of mucous mat
ter in the throat. He could not venture any

dying tonight.

Further Of the Mjlitary Preparations.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. N.-The Sunday
Herald will tomorrow publish the following
interview with General Roweyn Ayere, COM
mander of the United States forces in this dis
trict: "General, there is considerable talk that
in case the President dies the people will take
the law into their own hands, and that Gui-
teau will be executed by q mob. Have you
Heard anything Of such movement and have
done anything to meet it?"
"Yes sir" replied Gen. Ayres, "the govern
ment has been fully advised OF this movement
and is fully prepared to meet 1t. My instruct
ions and orders are complete and l am pre-
pared to act q moments notice."
"Have you strengthened your force at the
jail to-day?" I
eyes, sir. The force has been strengthened
to-day and in one moments notice, and with
in half an hour after receiving the announce
ment of the death of the President car, have
one thousand armed men and trained soldiers
at the Jail, prepared to protect it at all haz-
ards"
General, it is said this action on the part
of the government will be made only in the
semblance of giving protection to the assas-
sin, and that you will give way and allow the
people to take their man, and that II you are
compelled to fire 1T will be with blank car
tridges."
Those who have such ideas will be sadly
mistaken, and while should deeply regret the
death of single man in such a case, yet my
orders are imperative, and IS a soldier they
will be obeyed. Gtteau is prisoner
of the United States government. He is con-
fined within United States jail The
constitution and the laws guarantee him affair
trial. This is the capital of the nation, the
head center of law and order. The government
has determined no mob law shall reign here,
and 7 have been directed to protect
the prisoner and United States property, and
you may rest assured it will be done. My
force is ample, and in condition to meet the
largest mob that could possibly be found. /
mainly trust that no such demonstration will
be made by the people, because in the attempt
to carry out their purpose innocent lives may
be lost"
General, how many men have you at this
barracks?"
Companies B, G, D and Fl of my regiment,
with companies l and K at short call. The
entire available force at Fortress Monroe will
be here tonight or in the morning. The ma
rine corps and militia of the district are under
my orders, SO that you see the force to queil
any unlawful force is equal to any demand
which may be made upon them"
General, have you sent out any guns TO the
Jail to day."
'No, sir, but have four Calling guns ready
to move at a moments notice. These guns
shoot very fast and each is equal to regiment
OF men. Imost earnestly hope we may not
have to use them, but shall do SO if the &C.
casion requires it. -
General how long would 1t be after the
President dies before you could get notice."
81 am in direct communication with the
White house and SO would be at once notified.
My forces here are under marching orders and
would also move at once"

of the wound were flabby and the granulation
of lighter color. The lungs are evidently af-
fected, and should the patient live long enough
will probably have to pass through seige OF
suffering with them. The Presidents sons
were informed at an early hour of the change
for the worse. They had been sleeping on
cots in the corridor, neither having undressed
for the night. The children went into the
sick room about half past seven. They spoke
cheerfully to their father and tie daughter
kissed him. They remained but few mo-
ments.
There was significant inquiry made this
morning about an eminent lawyer who makes
regular early visits to the White house. The
request was made by prominent member OIL

the gentleman when he came should be ut once

BLAINE's AFTERNOON REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. THE following has
just been filed, addressed to Minister Lowell,
at London: "There has been no change for
the better in the Presidents condition since
morning. His fever has risen, and his pulse
at this hour, 2 p. m, is 120. His physicians
do not regard the case as hopeless, but very
dangerous and critical"
(Signed), BLAINE, Secretary.
COL ROCKWELL DON'T GIVE UP.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug.
81, 2:20 p. m.-The Presidents condition re-
mains unchanged. Some of the Presidents
intimate personal friends and attendants still
cling to the hope of his recovery. Col. Rock
we'll, in conversation this afternoon, said,
with much emphasis and feeling: "Notwith-
standing the dscouraging bulletins and all
that has been said, and notwithstanding the
dispatches which have been sent far and wide
over the country, tell you the President is
not dying, and shows no signs of dying. l do
not speculate as to the chance of the future.
The present is enough for me. He is not dy
ing now. Not ten minutes since, heard him
tell Col. Swain, who stood by his bedside, that
he thought he felt better than he did yester
day. A long while ago, in talking to me
about himself, General Garfield said with
me it is always the unexpected which hap
pens l believe the unexpected may happen
once more in the Presidents life, and that he
may yet surprise the country by getting well"

The Preside,.t,s Mother.

CLEvELANE; O., Aug. 27.-President Gar
fields aged mother is stopping with a niece
in Hiram, four miles from Garrettsville. She
receives messages from Washington, and
spends much of her time at the front door of
the house anxiously waiting and watching
for the messenger who brings her dispatches.
She is bowed down with grief, sleeps but lit
tie and that in short maps, and is much agi-
tated by fear for the worst, yet tenaciously
clings to hope.
President Hinsdale telegraphs to the Herald
late to night from Hiram, that the mother of
Garfield has been stopping two weeks there at
the home of Mrs. Clapp. her niece. Her Sis
at the same place. He states that mother
Garfeld's strength holds up beyond what
could be reasonably expected and in this she
shows the wonderful vitality and staying
qualities of her race. AS she no
longer expects her sons recovery, hope is
dead in the heart and the light of life is gone
out She occasionally shows CLEAN of con-
fidence, but this is only rebound from excite
ment. No order respecting her has been re-
ceived from Washington, and she remains
where she is, where all is done for her that
mOrtals can do.

IDENTIFY the intention of the authorities, both
civil and military, to protect Guiteau from
mob violence. The authorities consider it
would be a reflection upon the government
and upon the people for the assassin to be ex-
ecuted by mob. While all officials in every
branch of service share that indignation which
demands prompt infection of punishment upon
the assassin, they felt that the dignity of the
government requires that the law must take
It's course, and they are determined to enforce
this. Orders from the navy department sim

officers on leave shall prepare to report to
