TKE SFEAKERSHIP- National AfeM.totcd t'rc.v. DFI'K\D3 ON l'KN > SYI.VAMA. CIIICAOO , November 28The Times' \Va3liington sptcial sajs the speaker- ship tight has assumed a peculiar phase. There is no longer any at tempt on the pait of tlio leading can- dtdxtes , Hiscoek and K.issou , to in- llucnce individml mombcw. Every ellorc ia being concentrated upon the delegation fiom Pennsylvania. This delegation intends , when it ariives hero the latter part of the week , to hold a meeting. In that meet ing the members will decide to support solidly the nominee of the delegation's caucus. Mr. Hiscoek at the present time has succeeded in in fluencing moie individual members of the Pennsylvania delegation than had Mr. Kasson , but in the last week there hni b&tt n turn ; three very powerful elements have appeared , act ing against Mr Hiscoek and working upon the Pennsylvania delegation. Corporate inlluoncos have a great deal to do with opcnkership contests. The Tp : as Pacific has in times pest elected its speaker. Indeed , all ot the Pacific roads , w hen they vvero seeking the aid of congress , have been very powerful factors To-day these lines are com pleted , or so nearly that they 1m o no further favors to ask of congress. So none of them have leprtscntativcs here very much interested ui the struggle. There n in Washington now a powiuful combination looking towaid the opening up of Indian Territory. Tina ia the only leading co-optnative interest thai is icprc- sented in the canvass. Mr. Jil.ime was to bu undo piosident ot the the Missouri , Kansas it To\as mil- toad. Them is no doubt that Mr. Gould would bo very glad to have Mr. Ulaiiio take this position , but his friends hoio say ho will not nccnpt , but will work diit'ctly hero for its in terests. Tliocoiubin xtion in fayor of opening up Indian Territory his selected Mr. Kaason as the safest man to have for speaker. Considering the intrre'sls nt stake they believe thai Mr. Kasson M in favoi of their schenio a id b'V friends have assured them that hu will give it a square oppoitunity , and that is all they ask. Mr , Blaine has come out very strongly for Mr. Kasson in the last week , and ho is powciful with tlio Pennsylvania delegation. Each train brings to Washington mcmbcra of the next congress , and there are now on the ground thirteen representatives nnd twenty-five ) dona- toij.

Wvsiu > aro.v , November 28. The .linl opened at the usual time this moining. Tlio ciowd was dense , in cluding many ladies , and t'o room was crowded to suffocation. Guileau was quiet during the morning and piid litllo allontion to the teatimonj , Ho read nowspapera. Among the upecta- tors wore Ooneral Ewiiig and PrUato Ualzoll , of Ohio. Mrs. Scovillo , Ouiteau's sister , re- mimed the stard. She recounted va rious instances of app.it ent ixbei ration of the mind on the part of the ptiso- oner , such ns visionary Bchcnu'i about business , newspaper * , _ per sonal nbuso and inhibitions of temper lie once overheard her loll n lady friend ho was crny and should l > o sent to an asylum , lie was enraged and threatened her nnd end she otmht to go to an asjlutu. llo once threw a pet dog down otniis , breaking a leg. Sh" sent him to soap apple treesat one limn and instead ho mupud toiest trees. Had a tit of terror once while boat ndmtr , al though tlioro was no danger , spending most of the time reading nowspapoii and thu Ihble. Mrs. Scovillo related another inci- ilnnt of the theologicnl dii > cusjion in which CUnteau took put and vv.xneiy abusive. Shu was asked to produce the liair cut from her mother's lie id bcfoio the biothers. The pioserution objected and Mr Scuvillo produced the hair , saving ho wanted to veiify his word. Tina closed the exiimnix- tton of MM. Scoville. She was not cross-examined. Mr. Goo. S. Um row ? , of Chicago , was next examined , lie testified tint ho spent one suuinier with Giiitenuand Scovillo nt a bummer boarding house in Wisconsin. Road his book on the second coming of Chiist and thought ho was cra/y or a fool. Ho was \ery violent. Fornandi Jones was called but did not appear. During a few moments waiting , Guilcnn announced ho wished the newspaper critics in court to under stand lhal ho appeired in part as his own counsel , vhich was to picvont any silly slufl'lhey wrote about him. o. S. Joston , of New Yurk , testi fied ho had considered Guiteau egotis- tieal , crack brained , etc. John W. Guiteau , of lioston , broth er of the prisoner , was the next wit- noes. Ho testified ho was coustantlj with his brother up to the time he was ten years of ago , when the family bioko up by the death of their mother in 1808. The witness siw him in Chic.igo after he left the Oncida community. Ho refused to p'xy debtH ho owed. Ml. Scovillo and the w itncsa thought him either a fool or crayy. Ho after boarded with witness in Now Yoik bul paid no boiiid. At Ibis point Guiteau intcmiptcdto say that he did pay his board. Guitcau's brother testified further : Ho had frequent intorvious with the prisoner in Washington ; at first ho thought him dan .eious subsequently harmless. Guiteau talked freely nbout the assassination ; said ho be hoved Christ directed lii-n to do it , and said ho was willing to sulfur foi it ; that the name of Guiteau would bo honored in this vvoild instead of be ing "rcgaided as that of an assassin ; " but when witness asked him Ahethor he would rrofer to betJinnged by , n com tor shot by a mob , the prisoner became violent , junil cd to his feet , ran behind a stand and said : ' 'I won't have either. " The witness , after that , had no doubt of his insanity. At this point Scovillo introduced the family billo to show that ono Francis Guite'au who was born in 1800 died in 1829 in the Blooming- dale insane asylum. Witness further ovxmidcd , said ho conclude-d his brother was insane after reading certain letters of his hist month , written yoais ago. When asked if ho had not stated to Mr. Uuon , of Bobton , tint the aut was one of "pnio cusedness , " ho said no , lint believed his brolher possessed of the devil and that prompted thu crime. Witness h.id stated to a friend in Bos ton that he had no doubt of his binthoi's responsibilities before God and boliovcd him morally icsponsible and years ago had chosen evil luther thin good , llo did not oxprrsB him self as to the legal responsibility ; h id told Dr. RobbniB he believed him entirely responsible , but pos sessed an evil spiut. At this point the prisoner inter rupted , s lying that hu and his biother liad been unfriendly for many years and that was thu reason for nnf ivora- ble testimony. Tlio prosecuting attorney attempted lo stop the intcriuption and Guileau lold Dividgo lo shut up. ) > Witness continued , and when asked if his father or mother , brothers or sisters , were nfllictcd with consump tion , scrofula or insanity , answered "no. " As the cross examination continued the prisoner resumed his interrup tions. Ho said ho had frequently quauelod with his brother , but liked him better now than cvot before. WitncfH luplied that ho was feeling sorry now ho had not ycari ago trexl- cd his biother as insane. Mis. Finncis Pnrkor , of Chicago , WHH the next witness. She tealifitd her husband , August Parker , was a coiiMiioftho prisoner. Hu died in the iiiBiiiu nsjlum at Elgin , 111 , Hu wasvoi' violent and iccogni/ed the witness but tv/ico in throe jearn. His mnanity was caused by his failure to get a piano agency. The prisoner was desperately in love with hordaughtor , aged 11 yeiiH , and minted to educate and inurry hor. She Tornado him coming there. The prisoner interrupted tlo | wit ness with : "Tho family was veiy poor , I gave them money. The girl was very pietty. I wai atidied ( to her , but she was too yomg for me.1' ' Dunng the continued ciobu-exami- nation Iho prnoner made many inter- rimiptioiiM , especially about paying hu boaid bill in Now \ oik. Witness paid they had many conver sations and the prisoner ineUtcd that Christ did not pay his board and he was studying theology and Ihcru wai no money in tlmt , and he would not The pi.soncr WHSery excited. Wit- ncfcs ordered him from his oflico and as the prisoner was abusive ho struck him on the neck. The prisoner turn ed and give him a blow m face , whereat witno's took him by the col lar and hoisted him down stairs. After the noon-day adjournment , the crosa-examination of John W Ouitcau waa continued regarding his uncle , Francis Guitcnu. Ho stated that ho understood ho was insane and his insanity wus produced by lighting a duel nbout Jix young lady. Guiteau , the assassin , waa placed on the witness stand this morning , the solo object being that ho might iden tify n number of lulter * , written b } hhmelt tolna fathgrandothcM at va rious times in the past twenty pears The piisoner , whpn his inline was calhd , appeared j'ftttitnted ' , He was startled when tolil to take the stand mill was Inil.
