INDIAN" ArTAIUS. Commissioner of Indian Affairs 'rico , in his annual report , submitted D-day , Hays : It in claimed and ad- littt'd by nil that the great object of lie government is to civilino the In- ians and render thorn such .lasistunco s will make thorn self-Hiipporting , and ccommendB labor as an utoential elc- icnt in producing civilization , thus cveloping true manhood. Jt is only lie non-laboring tribes that go upon lie war pathand stubborn facts of his- jry compel mo to say that the gov- rnment is largely to blame for this , k'e feed thuhitu Uiver murderers ud compel the peaceful Uintahs to ire for themselves. Thin course in- uccs the Indians to believe iat if they are to get favor 0111 the gorerninont they must . fuse to work , rcfusu to bo orderly and ponceablo , and inns commit some depredations. Finn success in civilizing the Indians cm never bo reached without ( hu locatioi of each family or single Indian on t certain number of acres of land whicl ho or she may call their own. Lot tlu laws that govern a white man goveri tlio Indian , He must learn the Kii lish lanuuago and learn to work , There are in thoUnitedStatea ' 2-l < Vl ! > i under the care of sixty-eight agencies , and 15-llli Indians not under the con trol of indents of the government. The commissioner recommends an increase in the number and pay of thu Indian police ; the establishment of penal reservations for refractory Indians ; the allotment of lands in severally ; the remission of fees and commissions m homestead entries by Indians ; the survey of the boundaries of Indian reservations ; ( he prohibition of liquor on Indian reserves ; the adjustment of the statutes of fsccdmen in the hoctaw and Chiekasaw Nations ; Iho ratification of the cession of a portion f the Crow and Foil Hall reserves.

All ho counsel wore in their places ox- : cit | Air. llobinsonylio , with John iV. ( liiitoau , WHS absent on business ionnected with the sunnuoniug of tnessi's. Guiteau npjioared much ho same as yesterday und carried in lis hand a copy of a Now York paper , nd aftur his handeulls wore removed iiisied himself in reading it. His rjther eamo in before the ex- : inination of the jurors began , iuiteaii closed the paper and iL'gan nn animated convocation i'ith him , after which ho began writing > n foolscap paper. Mr. ISobinson also ntered in time for the examination. L'ho first man was Edward jUcGull. Jo had ndcoidt-d opinion and one that nothing could ohangp. lie was ex cused. George Thomas had never read about the case at. all , simply be cause ho could not read. Neither had ho talked on the subject , lioth Hides seemed to think this was the only man in the District who had not talked on it and they wore afraid of him. Then followed several persons whoso opin ions they thought to bu unchange able. During the examination Guiteau continued writing and talking to his brother. Ho was overheard to say , ' 'I don't want him and 1 won't have him. 1 want you to tell the : court and ask him to withdraw. " Hu evidently referred to Lawyer 1'obin- son. Later he said : "Robinson wants to go crooked and 1 won't have him. I want everything straight in this " trial. " Then' ho" resumed writing muttering , "I will got things stwight- oned out some way. " ami it was thought by those near him that he was writing something for the Presi dent , but lie would not give it out. T. H. Williams ( colored ) give ft satisfrr.lMty nnuwer to all questions and seomeda likely juror but the defense thought it host to en ter a peremptory challenge. During . the morning Mr Scovillo stated to thu reporter of the National Associated Press that none of the friends of the accused were satisfied with Itohinson'H actions. They had not been consulted by him for moro than a week , Ho seemed to want to work alone and Scovillo would certainly prefer work , ing alone than to bo pulling at cross purposes with such uman. . Mr. Scovillo continues to do all thu questioning , Mr. Robinson being consulted to the eligibility of a jury. They accepted as the 10th juror Win. H. Bronson , a grocer , who stood a long and careful examination Katitifac- torily. The writing Guiteau was pre paring during the morning was ntter- wardsgiven out. Its text waa as follows : "To the legal profession of Amciica : AH man after man came up and dc- : Iared that hu had opinions fixed as idamant , Mr. Scovillo t eared this night have become a fashionable way ) f getting rid of serving , nnd ho sug gested that the court might perhaps jucstiou such talesmen more closely. Judge Cox tried it on the next man , > ut he answered that "no evidence n the world would chnngo his opinion ibout it. " This satisfied the court and lounsul , nnd similar answers came rom the next half do/.on. , T. II. Banimn said he had no fixed ipinion. Always liked to hoar both tides of u case before deciding. He md very little to do with court. Air. David , of thu prosecution , had been ' iin counsel in early days. Mr. Scovillo asked if it was due to iis experience with Mr. David that ho tad avoided the courts. Mr. Dnrmim said it was , and hero was nn outburst of nirth. Ho was peremptorily hallongcd by the prosecution , i'hich exhausted three of the four hullongCH allowed by law. The next nun was challenged by the defense ml was the tenth of the twenty dial- L'ligos allowed. The proceedings nucli of the time being monotonous , hero was nfi opportunity for conver- ation between the prisoner and his riendH. To Mrs. Scovillo ho said at tie time : "Don't worry about me , 1 am in oed spirits and all right. " Later hu leaned over to his brother nd H.-iid : "Who is thut gentleman ipposilo you ? " "The agent of the National Anso- iated Press , " "Well , T want him to do mu a vor. " "What is it ? " "It is this : some one linn naid in thu apers that 1 was four weeks writing lie statement which I hnd publishou estovday. That is wrong , I wrofu ; in about two days. " { / . ? The iiriaonor wui promised tliatfyho m I'uuld no nccommoduted and hu was'1 mm iitisfied. At another time lie hail m rittcn Komutliiiit , ' for the press nd aakud hii brother to tfive it ut. IliH brother took it and tl : landed it to < no who eat near and "i'ut it in " | fhisporcd , your pocket , lluwas overheard by Ouiteni , who turned upon him in rnuo. "Hco IUTO now , "said he ; "don't you try ( < > do- ceivomo. If you don't like what I do , toll mo so , but play nn tricks , 1 want everybody to deal fairly with me , or I don't want thorn with mo. " The paper was rostorcd , and proved to bo a copy of his appeal to the bar. Aftnr this the prisoner was quiet as could bo wished and behaved very well indeed. After novoral more had been examined the eleventh juror was found in the per son of _ Thomas lleinbino , n mechanic. lie said ho allowed no newspaper to form his opinion , was no politician nnd on thu whole scorned to bo n very sensible man. Hovna duly nworu. The defense was satinliod to lake K. A. Payne for the twelfth juror , but the prosecution challenged him. Uichard Hopkins , a bar-tuiulor , said ho was a conscientious man ; could tnko nil the facts into consideration if ho happened to have luck enough to got on the jury. The dufenso took pity on him and ho stopped down ami out. No.\t , came an intelligent young colored man , who turned out to bo a deputy marshal's assistant , on which ground the defousu challenged him , at which point Guitoau said to Scovillo : "Don't rush things. I'll have other counsel to-morrow and if wo don't get ready to-day wo won't need liobinson on the ( rial at all" "lio soums very anxious to go slow , " said Mr. Srovillu to the wrilor. "Ho really expects to have a dozen nnaweiM to hia application to-morrow , ami if he can't ho will bo all upset. " .1. W. Hays , n wall paper hanger , said in his examination to-day , that ho had never sal on but one jury , and that was "packed. " 110 bad known n good many such juries. lie had a very decided opinion it lirtt , but had somewhat changed it. I'ho defense accepted him. Colonel Uoi'klnll asked him what hud changed his opinion. He repeated that ho had boon intluunccd by what hu had road ihout the medical treatment of the president , nnd by the physicians' bul letins. The prosecution excused him. Air. Scovillu siid ; ho understood the prosecution had exhausted nil their ; hnllungos. I'ho coutt xplaincd that they hud the privilege of live , nnd that this as the last. Air , Scovillo said to had been told that thu government iad only four , but it seemed to bo a nistake. "Yes , " sa < d Guito.vu to his rothui' ; "Eobiimon said that. { L'hat whows just how much iiiows. " Then , catching the eye of he agent of thu National Associated Press , the prisoner said : "Put that lown will you K" and down it went. losoph I'ratheo , a commission mor- liant , had expressed an opinion on ) hu case and had not changed it. He bought it would bins his judgment. lo was not objectionable to thu do- ense in any way. As the prosecution , ' iad no more challenges ho was accept- id ns thu twelfth juror. At 12:50 : thu irosocution asked for a recess of half in hour and it was granted , During recess the prisoner had unch in the marshal's room. The : otirt resumed session nt 1:1(8 : ( p. m , \t the request of Corkhill the jury ivero sworn in a body , after which the listrict-attornoy naked , according to jtistom , that the jury b given thin lay to arrange their business , and .hut thu court , therefore , adjourn till ; -morrow. . Mr. Scovillo then arose , lot to object , hu said , but to a per- lonal explanation. Ho said thut too nuch matter had been given to the iress by the prisoner , without the lonsent of his counsel , notably , the ppeal to the bar given out to-day. 'lio prisoner had asked him to np- irove that , but ho had refused , bo- aiiHO hu feared his authorisation of itch an nppeal might materially con- id with some chances ho had f getting competent legal asH-nlance. ) lu merely wished it understood that , rom this time forth , nil such matters iven to the press must be considered tmiitlionV.od by him. While Air. Icovillo was speaking Guiteau re- lained calm , but as ho concluded the risonor jumped to his foot. "Now , ' our honor , said ho , "J desire tosay word. 1 am here in a dual capacity , prisoner and partly as my own ' ounscl. I shall demand thu right to e heard nt least in my own defcnsn. have not asked thu court to assign 10 counsel. Until I do ask it , T do ot want the court to assign any. I xpcct u good many replies to the np- eal referred to , and will fix it p then. 1 desire it to bo undor- oed that 1 am hero in n mil capacity. " Hu emphasized his marku with frequent table rappings utui not nearly no vehement as on londay and as ho sat down ho ex- > ndcd his hands for the maiuclos Ht 'he court smiled and replied , "all Htb < ght , it is understood nil around" and ui 1 adjournment was declared until to- I ! lorrow at 10 a. m.
