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. CONKLINd IN TOWN.

THIRSTING FOR BLOOD. Guitoau Confesses to Havine Doergod Tbe President's Footsteps for Months , Himself Alone Ronponailile For Tlio Deed. WAHJIINOTON , July II , -1 p. m. District Attorney Corkliill has just 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 because ho was afraid of missing him and hitting some person elso. The confession makes no mention whatever of an accomplice , but rather strengthens the impression thut Gui- ; uau was alone in his dastardly not. 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. i 1 1 Tlio Gnrliolil Fund. National Associated 1'ruiw. NKW YOUK , July 14.
