HOURLY GETTING. UETTl'.H.
WASHINGTON , August . Nothing
now in the presidents case this oven-
' 'ing beyond the fact that the afternoon
' febrile rise has been less than usual
nnd that the usual administration of
morphia has been reduced to 1-10 of a
grain. The physicians' think the
Eresident would bo as well , if ho slept
; ss under anodyne , hence "tho de
crease in morphia. Ho now sleeps in
all about twelve hours out of twenty-
four. His temperature and pulse are
as low to-night as on the same hour
of any night since the shooting. Ho
fell asleep naturally at 9 p. in. , and
at 11 o'clock was sleeping quietly.

There is no change , , in his condition
since the dfiicial bulletin was issued.
EXECUTIVE MANSION , Midnight.
The presidents febrile rise has en
tirely subsided. Ho is passing a good
night.
GUITEAU.
STILL CLOSELY GUAIIDED.
WASHINGTON , August 3. All re
quests made at the jail for permission
to see Guiteau or even to enter the
rotunda are refused. The fact that a
military guard is maintained indicates
that the authorities apprehend some
danger of an attempt being made to
capture the prisoner or of his escaping.
Tt is stated that there are orraniita-
tions in this city as well as
Baltimore and Philadelphia ,
whoso members are ready to
take the law into their own hands if
they can got hold of him. Anonymous
communications were received by the
district attorney shortly after the at
tempted assassination which notified
him that a largo number of young
men of Baltimore had banded together
gother for punishinc Guiteau. Col.
Corkhill was asked if Guiteau had
bondsmen.
"No , " was the answer.
It is inferred from the fact that
Guiteau wants to bo released on bail
that ho knows the president is recov
ering was further said.
"lie does not know it. There are ,
I suppose , many ways lie could learn.
He knows it is thirty days since theE
resident was shot and ho can hardly
E elp but reason from that that the
president is probably recovering as ho
must know ho is alive.

and was arrested by thu pclico and

to will renew the attempt With force
enough to gain an entrance.
LONDON , August 3. There was an
extraordinary scone about ttho house
of parliament this morning , when
Charles Bradlaugh , twice elected a
nombor from Northampton , nnd twicu
refused his seat , carried out his
lire.it to attempt to gain all entrance
> y jhysical force , intending to do-
nand that the speaker should admin-
sler Iho oath to him. His cab drove
: o the entrance of the now pnlicoyard
ind hu dcscoiulod , his tall anO power-
'ul form to\vering above the crowd.
3o was plainly dressed and carried a
stout oaken stall' , lie was cheered by
ho crowd and was met at the entrance
of Woitminstor Hall byJlcnryLa-
3ouchero , his fellow member from
Northampton. They passed arm in
iriu through the hall nnd
ip the grand stair case where
liny waited for a messenger lo
announce the house in session.
3radlaugh thun passed through Ste-
) hens' gallery and attempted to enter
lie lobby. Right Hon. Dr. Lyon
> lnyfair , deputy speaker , met him
with a full line of policu'nml ushers ,
" .nd the police closed bclihid him. As
? layfair forbade him to enter he hesi
tated an instant , then suddenly sprang
or ward , seized the nearest usher ,
throw him aside , and , using all his
enormous strength , tried to force an
entrance. For a moment it seemed
as if ho would succeed and enter thu
lousu , but the police fell upon him in
i body , and after n violent struggle
succeeded in pushing him stop by step
.hrough the gallery and out upon the
stone platform of Westminster hall ,
"rom which ho was still further thrust
n to the yard below. Bradlaugh ,
jhostly pale but full of light , contest
ed every inch of ground. At times ho
seemed animated with ungovernable
'ury nnd rushed furiously upon his
antagonists. The crowd cheered
every fresh strncglo and enjoyed the
scene immensely. At the close lirud-
lauifh , nearly fainting , lua clothing
torn , his hat gone and his face livid ,
presented a terrible spectacle. II u
[ Irnnk a class of water , which some
what revived him and then , address
ing the crowd , declared that he would
return to the house with sufficient
force to cither effect an entrance or
compel Iho government to arrest him.
Ho then lefbtho hall nnd/mtcrod his
carriage. At the door lie "was received
with enthusiastic cheers. It is said
that Bradlaugh will apply to-morrow
for a summons against the deputy
speaker , police and others for assault
in resisting his entrance. During
this violent scene Ilradlaugh's two
daughters and his friend , Mrs. Besant ,
were in Westminster hall reading peti
tions signed by thousands of Brad-
laugh's adherents , praying for his ad
mission.
After this strange scone was over , or
while it was approaching iU close ,

( brother of Sir Charles Dilko , member
for Ncwcnstlo-on-Tyno and editor ol

SOME PUZZLES.
Which Thomas Swift Wants
to Have Solved.
o tlio IMItor of TIIK HKK.
OMAHA , August 2. Now that the
itizuna and business men on thu
rincipal thoroughfares aru about to
)0 relieved of tlio dint , J < explana-
ion of my connection with and do-
linntion of the street sprinkling con-
ract is duo to these most interested.
Vhun the city advertised for bids for
10 work , the advertisement oxprosslly
: ated thu amount of work to bo done ,
nd the limit of the contract , namely :
' 'arnhain street from Ninth to Six-
oenth , and north and south on cross
trocts to the alloys , and Douglas
trout from Twelfth to Sixteenth , the
ontrnct to expire as soon OH the water-
rorks were in operation. The coun-
11 well understood that the Douglas
trcot property owners expressly ro
used to sign for sprinkling the cross
treotH , consequently it was not in-
erlod in the advertisement. I made
ny bid in accordance with that ndvor-
isement and after two weeks' delay
, - was awarded to mo. 1 immediately
mdo preparations to do thu work' ,
jcforo the contract was cither written
r signed. When 1 obtained the
ontract with bond attached
sign , I wan astonished
find there iv provision for
inkling Iho cross streets on Douglas
lorth and south to thu alloys , and also
proviso that 1 should receive no pay
nit for days of actual sprinkling. I
id not object to the latter , but I pos-
tivoly declined lo sign for the former.
" called on Mayor Boyd and informed
din of thu addition made to the con-
ract , involving un extra outlay for
wo additional teams and carts to
prinklo 1,700 feet of street more than
ny bid calls for , and from him I re
ceived the consoling information , do-
ivercd with considerable emphasis ,
hat if I refused to fiign for the extra
cross streets I could not gut thu con-
rnct at all ,
The contract drawn up by the city
attorney for me to sign , contained ,
jcsidcs thu provisions already men-
ion , one which , in the opinion of
; oed attorneys , would operate to do-
irivo mo entirely of my pay. This
provision stated that I should accept
is my pay warrants drawn upon UIIB
street sprinkling fund , the same to bo
levied and collected from property
abutting. The city did not oven
guarantee to collect the fund nor state
whim I could obtain the warrants
nor pledge the credit of the city if
cose of failure in collecting the assess
inont. Notwithstanding all thosi
onerous provisions , I was determines
to do the work if there was a reasona
bio prospect of obtaining my pay. . '
went to all the banks on Thirtoontl
etroot ; not one of them would takt
thu warrants. I did not fcol able
under these circumstances , to lay ou
money in u business without the ro
molest guarantee of remuneration.
The second attempt to obtain bidi
on the same identical work , proved i
failure , although I was informed by i
city official that I would have a competitor
potitor "this time. " I know the man
and informed the official that I wouli
not bid against him. Thu comneti
tor did not turn up and thu advertise
ment brought no fruit ,
After these failures to secure a rea
sonable contract with the city , _ I do
tonnined to try private subscriptioi
and began on Iho corner of Fifleontl
ana Douglas. I traversed that streol
to Thirteenth and mot with very pooi
success , with tlio exception of tin
and n few others. I tried Thir-
conlh street from Farnhnm lo Harnny
iiul my labor was rewarded with a
ubscnption of 75 centa from ono
rm.
I understand that n now man is
oniing here to gprinkta the streets ,
t is strange thin "savior" did not
mi up last fall or early thin summer ,
fhon the cost of obtaining water
rould increase the expense one-half

ilo on Fnrnhnin street for whom I
irinklcd free last year , are liberal
ibflcribora , and the most lavish of all ,

m hist fall , to obtain my money.
