Recovery.
WASHINGTON , D. 0. , July 14.
The president's physicians are imicl
pleased with 'tho progress of the case
During tlrj night , as vill bo seen bj
the morning bulletin , the outwart
symptoms show marked improvement.
The president bore the dressing o
the wound this morning with less dis
comfort than on any previous occa
sion , and says he feels much better.
The wound has been discharging
"laudable pus" during the night , nut
the signs of healing are mon
markou. lie has little fever am :
takes even more'nourishmonl
to-day than yesterday. Instcai
of growing weaker ho is growing
stronger. When questioned as to thia
matter ho drew up both legs and use < 1
both hands , and moving his body in
evidence of his strongtlu It was a
weak exhibition of courage , but it
showed that ho was very strong for a
very weak man.
HAMILTON'S OPINIONS.
Consulting Surgeon Hamilton says :
"What were ordinarily considered by
surgeons as a great crisis in cuch
wounds as President' Garflofd's" We're
now things of the past , ' and lie hoc
confidence that the president's wound
will continue to juenil JJjDr. , Hamil
ton still inclines to the unpressioli thai
the ball is not deeply imbedded and
unb'kelyto give serious trouble. If
may turn up in a most unexpected
situation. The splendid constitution
of the president , his regular habits ,
and the absence of vestiges of any
complicating disease , led the doctor to
believe the wound will heal kindly.
AMONG TUB MESSAGES
received at the White House were
copies of sympathetic and congratula
tory resolutions adopted by the Gcn-
er.il Lander Post of the G. A. 11. ,
Lynn , Mass. ; Knights of [ St. Peter ,
Washington , and the Catholic Knights
of America , now assembled in council
in Cincinnati.
THE BEST HAY YKT.
This bos been a better day for the
president oven than j-csterday. Ho
has rested better and the symptoms
have shown a marked improvement
and his personal anpcaranco has much
improved. Ho baa slept twelve houra
out of the last twenty- four and is con
sequently greatly refreshed. The
L'ain , of strength in his legs and arms
is particularly noticeable thia evening.
The doctors are more cheerful than
over and the cabinet ofllcera retired nt
their usual evening hour from the
White House with eased confidences.
GETTING HEADY TO EIN1) TIIK BULLET.
Experiments are now being "made "
by Professor Graham Bell and" Pro
fessor Simon Nowcomb , to ascertain
iho effect of the newly improved in
vention , an induction balance in
searching for metal beneath n sub
jects skin with a view to hunting 'or
: ho ball which has caused the presi
dent's suffering. The invention is Prof.
Boll's and ho claims for it that an
electrical current can bo established
) et\vepn the balance and metal hid
den within an inch below the surface ;
: hut by passing the balance over the
inspected part of the badge , if the
jail is within the required
space , ho will bo able to detect n
.inkling Round by means of a tele-
) hone placed at the ear , The ox-
icriment will bo watched with great
ntorest for scientific reasons , to say
lothing of the result of the case.
I'rof , JJoll come on to-day for the
nirposo , and if the experiment proves
i success the practical application will
) o made in the president's case , but
lot until he is much stronger than
low.
WASHINGTON , July 14. Prof. Gra-
lam Hell , electrician , reached Wash-
ngton this afternoon and was met by
Prof. Nowcomb , who accompanied
lim to the White House They con
sulted with the physicians and it was
decided to proceed with the experi
ments with a view to hunting for the
assassin's ball by induction balance
and telephone. The experiments
will bo conducted at Prof. Hell's lab-
ratory in this city and on their com-
? leto BUCCCSS alone will depend a prac-
ical application in the president's
case.

Made public Guitcau'i * confession to
liin of the shooting. It shows that
Guiteau had been contemplating the
luod since the 18th of JMay last ; that
lie dogged the movements ot the
president continually , and on ono oc
casion arranged to shoot him while in
church , but refrained from doing HO

OUITKAU'H ONKKSSION.
United States District Attorney
3orkhill lias authon/cd the publica-
.ion of the following m order to cor
rect certain false utiitemonts regard-
ng the attempted assassination of
the president :
"The assassin , Charles Guitoau ,
came to Washington on Sunday
evening , March fith , 1881 , and
stopped at the Ebbitt house , remain
ing ono day. He then secured n
room in another part of the city , and
lias boarded and roomed at various
places , full details of which I havo.
Dn Wednesday , May 1st , the assassin
lotorminod to murder the president.
Ho had neither money nor pistol at
the time. About the last of May ho
.vpnt into O'Mcara'a store , corner of
Fifteenth and F streets in thin city ,
and examined some pistols , asking
for a large calibre. Ho was shown
several similar in calibro and
only different in price. On Wednesday ,
June 8th , ho purchased amatol which
10 used , for which 1m paid ton dollars ,
bavin ? in the meantime borrowed fif
teen dollars from a gentleman of this
city on the plea ho wanted to pay his
board bill. On the same evening
about 7 o'clock ho took the pistol and
wont to the foot of Fifteenth street
and practiced firing at a board , firing
ten shota. Ho then returned to hia
boarding place , put the pistol by and
waited an apportunily. Sunday morn
ing , June 18 , ho was sitting in Lafay
ette park and SAW the president leave
for Christian church , on Vermont
avenue , and ho at once returned to
his room and obtained his pistol , put
it in hia hip pocket and followed the
president to the church Ho entered
the church but found he could not
kill him there without danger
of killing someone else. Ho noticed
that the president tut near the win
dow. After church ho made an ex
amination of the window and found
ho could roach it without any trouble
and that from this point no could
shoot the president without killing
anyone elso. The following Wednes
day ho went to church to examine the
location of the window. Ho became
satisfied that ho could accomplish his
purpose and ho determined to make
an attempt at the church the fol
lowing Sunday. Ho learned from the
papers that the president would leave
the city Saturday , June 18 , with his
wife , for Long liranch , and ho there
fore determined to moot him at the
depot. He left his boarding house at
5 o'clock Saturday morning , Juno IK ,
and wont down to the river to the
foot of Seventeenth street and fired
five shots to practice his aim
and to bo coitam that his
pistol was in good condition. Ho
thou went to the depot and waa in the
ladies' sitting room of the depot with
his pistol ready. When the presiden
tial party entered ho says Mrs. Garfield -
field looked ao weak and frail that ho
had no heart to fire in her presence
and as he know he would have another
opportunity ho left the depot , lie
hail previously engaged n carriage to
take him to jail. On Wednesday
evening theprcsidentandhisson , and ,
I think , United StatesMarshal Henry ,
went out for a ride. The assassin
took hia pistol nnd followed them and
watched them lor a long time in the
hope that the carriage would stop , but
no opportunity was given. On Fri
day evening , July 1st , ho was
sitting in tbe park opposite the white
house when he saw the president come
out alone. He followed him down the
avenue to Fifteenth street and then
kept on the opposite side of the
atrcet up Fifteenth until the presi
dent entered the residence of Secre
tary Blaino. Ho waited at the cor
ner of Mr. Morton's late residence ,
corner of Sixteenth and 11 atieets ,
for some time and then , afraid that ho
would attract attention , he went into
thalloy in the rear of Mor
ton's residence , examined hia
pistol and waited The presi
dent and secretary came out
together , and followed them over to
the gate of the * White jrHousu , . but
could got no opportunity to use his
weapon. On the moniiiiL' of Satur
day , July 2d ho breakfasted at the
Riggs house about 7 o'clock. Ho
then walked up into the park , and sat
therefor an hour. Ho then took
a one horse avenue car and rode to
Sixth street , got out and went into
the depot and loitered around there ,
had his shoos blacked , engaged a
hackman for two dollars to take
him to jail , wont into the water closet
and took his pistol out of hia hip
pocket and unwiapped the paper from
around it , which ho put there for the
purpose of pi eventing perspiration
fiomdampening the powder , examined
his pistol carefully , tried the trigger ,
and then returned and took a seat in
the ladies waiting room , and as soon
as the president entered advanced be
hind him and fired two allots. These
facts , I think , can bo relied
ujon as accurate , and I
give them to the public to
contradict certain false rumors in con
nection with this most atrocious of
atrocious crimes ,
The confession of Guitcau reveals
nothing new but places matters in a
succinct form. The district attorney's
statement of the assassins story con
firms the published reports but show
up one inconsistency in its commis
sion. It appears that Guiteau deter
mined on May 8 to murder the presi
dent. Previously he stated that he
determined to do so when ho waa put
out of the white house. Attaches of
the white house say that it waa after
that date that the occurrence referred
to took place.

was brought on the track to-day but
was not speeded against time , his
manngor saying that the horao was not
feeling well , but with promises to do
some good work before the season is
over , though.
Maud S. was exhibited nmxin , wear
ing about bur neck a beautiful
wreath of flowers , th gift of
the ladies of Pittsburg , Ono
of her grooms was also
presented with a beautiful boquot and
lier driver with a handsome bosket of
flowers. The feat of the queen in re
ducing her record is the topic of much
comment. A great many Now Yorkers
wore here and lost considerable money
on the trial , betting freely 100 to
$50 that she would not go it in Ions
than 2:12 : or 2ll. : ! The riltsburgors ,
who had speeded their own nags over
the track and know its merits ,
took most of these botH
and are in consequence full of pocket.
Maud S' . feat was witnessed by 20- ,
000 people. As she came down to the
wire all was expectancy. After 0 10
false start she came down again.
Hair gave the nod to the iudgcs who
gave nor the word go , and away flho
wont , two thousand watches timing
her. AH she passed the first quarter
a murmur of disappointment ran
through the audience , "Shu
won't do it. " "She can't , "
wan heard on every side , but
on the straight second quarter she
picked up. As she passed the half
mile in 1:05 : A the audience took heart
and cheered" heartily , "She does it , "
"sho wih ! " they said. As she struck
the three-quarter Hair was seen
to gently lay the whip acioss her
back ami the mare responded nobly ,
seemingly to fairly fly. She complet
ed the quarter at a 2:07 : gait , missing
the quarter polo in 1:27. : [ . The fact
waa then almost assured that
she would beat her best
time , and the enthusiasm
was unbounded As she struck the
straight home stretch a calm
fell upon the vast crowd and all eyes
were fixed upon the noble animal.
She came thundering down the stretch
in grand style , her feet seeming to
( scarcely touch. Down she came and
passed under the wires in 2:10A : , tno
fastest milo over trotted- jn.xrth.
The pent up fooling of jtho
crowd bunft forth , and deafening
cheers rent the air. Captain Stone's
hat wont thirty feet in the air as he
uttered the exclamation , "By God. "
As the mare was led back the captain
rushed down and placed his arm
about her neck , exclaiming , " this is
glorious. " The track is slow to-day ,
else aho would have done it in eight
seconds. Ho then run over and
telegraphed the news to ATanderbilt.
She track , althuigh now , is pro
nounced on all sides the finest in the
country. The first quarter ia unlight
decline , giving the horao a good
norid oil , then a level quarter , then a
slight rise and then a level and
straight homestretch. Thus all the
horau'a muscle is brought into play
without fatiguing him. Several horses
other than Mnud S Iwuieduced their
records during the races. It ia
claimed by some that her time waa
less than li:10A. : I'robably she will go
again.
