MOUK OHKKHFUI , .
WASHINGTON , July 1C. At 2 o'clock
this afternoon Dr. Bliss snid that the
president was growing inoro and more
cheerful. Among the questions ho
naked to-drvy was when the doctors
thought ho would bo Mo to take n
trip down the river in the Dispatch.
Dr. Bliss told him ho could not say
hist when , but it would bo before
long. The president expressed himself -
self aa highly pleased.
NO FUHTIIEU DAKOKK U'l'KKHKNDEI ) .
Miss Mollie and James and Harry
Garflold spent an hour or two by their
father's bcdsidn both yesterday and
to-day. The president's wound was
dressed this afternoon as usual. The
outward indications remain as favor
able as this morning and all symptoms
are excellent. Dr. Bliss stated that
ho apprehended no further danger.
THE CAUINET.
So much confidence have the cabi-
inot in the proidents recovery that
some of them are renewing their plans
for summer vacations. Secretary
Windom and family go to Deer Park
to-day and will remain over Sunday.
Secretaries Lincoln and Hunt with
their wives and Mrs. Blaine will go
down the Potomac this owning on
the barrio excursion.
OU1TEAU llEl'ENTINO.
'NVASHiNOTON , Juty 1(5. ( Ouitoau is
having an easy timp in jail. Ho seems
to have como practically to his senses.
Ho is reported to have said yesterday ,
"If I had another opportunity I
would not try to shoot the president.
I thought I had an inspiration to re
move him , but I scp I must have
been mistaken. I think it hoabcen ,
ordained by God that the president
shall not be killed and for that reason
would not try it again if I had a
chance. If it were not decreed by
God that lie should not bo killed how
could ho bo ulivo now ? I hold the
pistol close to his back and my hand
was as steady as iron. I fired
point blank at him , and
nothing but divine interference
could have saved him. Ho wont die ,
I am convinced , and I am sorry I
inado him so much pain. Its of no
use for any ono to try to kill him
now , for if I could not , with the
chances I had , no ono can. It is so or
dained , and wo must abide by the
will of Providence. "
The jail was visited by ono hun
dred people to-day but no ono was
allowed to ace Guiteau , who still asks
anxiously about the president , and
says ho now hopes ho will recover.
Thoprisoncr eats all that is sot before
him and does not let his sins brood
upon him.
CONKLINO.
Ex-Senator Colliding said to-day
that his visit to Washington had noth
ing to do with politics directly or in
directly Ho might bo hero ono day
or several days. Those who are on
friendly terms with him corroborate
the statement that the trip is on busi
ness connected with the Hud
son river tunnel. It is stated
that Senator Jones has put'a great
deal of capital in that enterprise , and
that Conkling is counsel , engaged in
anticipation of litigation in regard to
the tunnel. Ho is hero consulting
with Senator Jones and hunting up
some legal authorities and references ,
fn his talk ho referred to politics as a
mbject in which ho felt very little in
terest.
A CONTRAST TO THIIEE WEEKH AGO.
The third Sunday of the president's
llness has been as bright in reality as
n prospect , and the beautiful aspect
) f nature about the city has been aptly
llustrativo of the nlaco and hope that
oigns supremo. In the sick room the
ook of anxiety has faded and only
ixtrcmo caution keeps them from of-
iciolly announcing the president out
if danger. The president slept al-
nest continuously during the night
md awoke very much interested in
ho question of breakfast. Mrs. Gar-
ield was in his room when ho awoke
, nd Mr. Crumps , the nurse ,
tad just been telling her how nicely
icr husband had been sleeping and
tow ho had exhibited no signs of the
estless nature that had sometimes al-
nest counteracted the rest. Dr.
iliss was by his side soon after and
iked him what ho would have for
> ruakfast. Ho said lie would try
omo lamb chops and a baked potato.
THE MOnNINd EXAMINATION.
While his breakfast was preparing ,
ho president , braced up by his usual
lose of port wine , underwent the
norning examination and hud a
heerful word with tno doctors. Ho
fsa moved about and the wound
ras dressed with BO much
aso to the patient that
10 a ked Dr. Blisa if hd could not ait
ip in bed a little while , . Ho felt as
f his back would bond enouglj for tliaf.
Jut Dr. Blisa said not yet and the
Toaidont rfdmittod that the doctors
: now best. When his breakfast was
eady ho chewed and swallowed gome
f the lamb chop. The doctors found
liia mornini' no symptoms of the usu
al febrile rise and argued there
fore that its recurrence wouhi
bo slight to-day , and probably later ,
They found laudable pus flowing fron
the interior of the wontul showing
how perfectly suppuration was pro
greasing. In fact the examinations ol
to-day have boon productive of resulU
which have so confirmed the physl
cians in their statement * they coult
not ask for bettor conditions.
TUB WKSIDEST'S FAMILY.
The president's children spoilt t
few moments with him this morning.
Mrs. Garficld stored by her husbam'
to-day , feeling moro' secure that hoi
presence would not annoy him in anj
way. She did not ioavo the house
during ( ho day.
THK MtNIifTEnS.
In almost all the city churches to <
day nrnycrs of thanksgiving for the
president's recovery were ottered anO
appropriate sermons were prcaohe'd.

"Sho can do it and will go again , " but
the storm burst and the rain fell in
