grees 10 minutes , lie refers to a
previous report , giving an account
of the partial exploration of
Herald island sent by the
whale barll Coral , but which
has not renewed the department. Ho
says ho attempted to examine the re
mainder of the island , but the boat
cent could not ufl'ect a landing at the
eastern end. ' He found it impossible
to go further north this winter , as it
is dillicult to conjecture in what direc
tion tho.leannptte driftodnftor becom
ing fast inthe ice. Ho proposes going
next to the coast of Sibera and follow
ing it west , looking there
for tidings oftho missing vessel ,
and find n suitable harbor from which
to send out parties to succor any who
may reach the const. Palling to find
a harbor ho proposes leaving a party
with provisions for one year mid pro
ceed to winter in St. Lawrence bay
and Hond parties from there also. In
the spring ho will procef d to Plover
bay , fit up with coal and renew the
search. ' *
The missing dispatches from Com
mander Harry of the United States
steamship Rogers referred to iti these
dispatches to-day , have just arrived.
Ho reports that August 27th ho
landed at Wrangell Land and made a
thorough exploration of it. Ho gives
a largo map of it showing it to bo ai

jry compel mo to say that the gov-
rnment is largely to blame for this ,

uccs the Indians to believe

it the criminal court this morning ,
iuitcau had his usual quid , ridu froiu
hu jiil : tu the court in the prison vnn
nd Wiisi ushered into the court room
t livu minutes after leu o'clock. 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. The nriHonor fr

The proceedings in court to morrow to
