WASHIWJTOK , December 1.- The
crowd was logs to-day on account of
the storm. Before the prisoner en-
lured the crowd was warned by Mar-
filial Hmiry that it must keep perfect
ly quiet "to-day ixnd no laughter ornp-
plauao would bo allowed
B The prisoner was dejected , pale and
tired when ho resumed the witness
box. 13eforo the cross-examination
was resumed Guitcau dcaircd to ap
peal 3.gain to friends throughout the
country for money to aid in the de-
funso and wished they would express
contributions to < Uco. Scoville , \ \ ush-
inuton.
Judge Porter conducted the cross-
examination. Guitcau tnid ho was
always n phytical coward.
Jludgo Potter And very cool and
determined sometimes.
'Guitcau ' When the DoUy is back
p ! mo. Ho ia always right , -and if He
inspires a man to act the man is right.
Guitcau said further , that if Mason
and Jones , who shot at him , could
prove they were inspired by the Deity
tthoy would bo justified.
Porter asked whether Mason and
Jones should bo punished any way ,
'whether ho > escaped or not.
Guiteau refused to answer and told
Porter ho had RCCII him frighten a
witness in Now York , but could not
scare him.as ho would give as good an
was sent.
A long series of questions tending
to show thc.t previous witnesses hud
testified that Guitoau W4 not always
peaceable were answered , "I don'l
remember "
Judge Porter asked isi an emphatic
voice if Guiteau remembered saying
at the depot that ho allot the president
"you axe not the Deity ? "
Guitcau.answered thsct the counsel
need notepoakor shako'his finger ; he
would not.Bcaro. When ho spoke ol
.himself lie associated himself with th <
Deity.
Guitoau was carefully questioned
regardillfithe notes he Jiad written t *
see if'HJHfould contradict his brother
and sister1 , but evaded all contradic <
tionajy faying ho did. not remember
- orTI\1BW * vo boon'mI toJ ; tT.
When Questioned as to-tho truth or
the testimony yesterday'Guiteau re
plied : "Anything I said was true. '
He denied .knowing what became oi
the rest of ( the box of cartridges.
Porter passed to his boarding houw
tjxporioncoa.and Guitcau appealed t <
the court to know if ho < mutt answer
Judge Coz replied thatiho inuatanc
Guitoau told of several instances when
ho could not pay board iliills and i
was because the had no money. Whet
lie came to Washington last March h <
thad $4 ; he borrowed 26 from Mr
Maynard and several days Inter IK
bought a pielol to o.\ccuto > the divini
will in removing Garlield , llu tool
lilie prettiest pistol bccauoe it woul <
look best in itho library of ithe atati
department.
Porter askefi.Tchy he pracli > uxl shoot
Mjg at saplings if the duty wasito shoo
GLirfield.
Guitcau replied that tliueounso
WAS going too deep into tlio .outwart
act ; the motive .urns the thing.
"Tho motive was to kill < Gnrliold
was it not ? "
.Answer The motive was to rosnovt
the president for thu good f tin
American people.
Guitoau was then Jed to detail hi
pistol practice and utid hu would Ltv <
boon acting with dittiao will if Garfkle
had been removed auy time botweoi
the middle of June aud the day ii <
shooting was done. Ho was waiting
for a chance and thought that woula
settle all talk about the outward act
God wo * responsible oad was usinji
him , and the court and jury and coun
ael , for his own ends.
This wet followed t y a rehearsal 01
yesterday's colhquy OB to thu act uiu
thn time the inspiration w w received
Guiteau dexilinod to say uhotlier lu
would Jiavo killed Guifit'ld if Conk
ling had been secretary of state
whether Colliding would have suiteii
him /or secretary , or whether 2f Jiliiim
hul been vice president Iio would
have killed Gurlielcl. Ho irwLstei
that if after iluno 1st the Pari < i con
fitilato had been pressed on him IK
would have committed the murder , m
the inspiration was then on him , Hi
denied that that meant a tixed ill-wil ,
against Gariiold. Whun asked if IK
Jiail any ill-will against Im sister wliei
ho raised the axe against her 01
a' ailist his brother when ho slappoi'
him , ho donicd having done either.
fie further said that Gartield owed his
election to Grant and Conkling mid
that when lie appointed IJIaino ho in
Biilted thuin and made the inspirntioi
for his removal necessary.
At noon a recess of ono hour wai
taken.
After roecn thu cross-examination
waa continued. Guitenu said that hi
had not thought whether ho would 01
would not support Uluiiio , hut if lit
got the Paris consulship ho would
have felt under obligation. ! to do s < > ,
This he emphasized by pounding m
the rail of the witness box , and say
ing : "That's the way politics art
run. You tickle mo , and I'll tickh
you. " [ Applause , which was sup
pressed. ]
About Ilia letters to Garfield ho ai <
ho had sympathy for any presided
hounded by Hordes of ollico-seekors
At that time ho had no idea of killin )
the president and the prosecution
would not bring these letters against
him.
Cross-questioned nn to his alleged
intimacy with republican leaders , ho
became excited. When asked where
ho met Conkling ho said at various
places -once on the street , but when
pushed for dates declared ho would
not bo frightened by the counsel and
refused to say anything about the con
sulship , for if the counsel did not al
ready u dcrsUnd ho must bo very
dull. It was irrelevant.
Porter then took up the letter writ
ten by Guitoau to the American people
ple , and questioned him as to whether
ho had said that Arthur would bo
president.
The prisoner denied having said so.
Ilo novur had any talk with Arthur
as to the murder , he repeated. As to
the letter , ho said ; "If you road it
tlmfwny , Judge Porter , instead of
taking a scrap hero and there , you
would got the Bcnso of it. " Ho then
broke out iti denunciation of the
cranky papers , and Raid within a few
weeks the sentiments of the people
toward him had changed and ho
wanted the jury to understand it , as
they did not gut their napors.
Ho wns closely questioned as tokill-
ins ; the president and tuid hushol him
down the came as ho would a rebel
during the wur. Ho had Hot.seen any
rebels , but would have done go had ho
seen any. He had intended tr > shoot
thu president until ho waa dead. Ho
regarded the divine inspiration as
higher tha-i the written law , and so
acted. His own feeling was against
the act but the divine pressure was so
strong ho would 1mve done it had ho
known ho would liavo been shot down
the next instant Ho hired the hack
to take him to the jail on
the day of the shooting bocauii )
he thought the people would not un
derstand his motive , and ho wnuted
to secure protection. Ho dented
having written * letter in the Oneitla
community in which the words "dev
ilish delusion" occur. Hu said ho
had the pistol in his hip ] Kck t on
.Tune 18 , but reflected then bocnwse of
Mrs. Garfield ; ho did not want to kill
iher ; lie had met her at a Whit ? House
reception where ho spoke to her of
his political service in Now York.
Ho felt sorrj-'for her when he-shot the
president -and for every one
else. Hu 'did ' it to avert a
war. Hu siid the Deity and he killed
the president , the Deity having the
greater share. Ho had written the
letter to General Shermnc , asking foi
protection so that he cocld show the
people the deed was the -'net of the
Deity , and 'he had so stated in his let
ter. It was not necessary for him tr
state to Sherman that ho was inspired
by the Deity. Ho regarded the nonv
inatijn of Garfield as an especial act
of Providence. In a certain sense the
convention was impirecL , but uot in
the same manner ho was.

CHICAGO , December 1. The Trb-

has bean no material ulmngu in thu

twenty-four hours. I'ai-tiea who pretend
tend to know say that not one of thu
candidates can yet lay claimtoU5 votes
and the outlook now is that it will
lardly bo possible to reach a nomina
tion on Saturday. It is either Kasson ,
Hiscock or a dark Jiorso.
Koifor's chances appear to bo rap
idly waning , and outside of the .ncni-
bora of his own state delegation his
candidacy is not talked of as danger
ous. It is said that beta of 100 to 10
against him lind no takers , oven
among his friends. Hia headquarters
continue , however , to bo the scene of
considerable activity , and ho expresses
himself as confident of ultimate suc
cess.
cess.Kassou's friends maintain that lie
will lead on the tirat ballot , which is
stoutly donicd by Hiacook. His can
didacy will bo favored by 'a majority
of thostt who have no axes to grind.
The respectability of his following
at the outside will have the effect , of
drawing the hcsitants. Persons who
pretend to familiarity with the latest
developments , however , say Unit it
will not bo well to count too much on
Pennsylvania support for Kasson and

At the close of the liacul year tlu

the n\imbor \ of disasters to shipping
within the sphere of station operations
wa less by fifty than that of the year
previous , though greater by thirty-one
than that of any other year in the his
tory of the service. The number of
wrecks involving total destruction was
much larger tlun in former yets , ex-
: opt the year previous. Notwith-
tauding the destructive clintittt r of
ho storms the loss of life wns smaller
.ban in any ono year since the service
was extended to and included the great
akes , last year boiiiK the only ex-
I'ptcd , when the number W.\H the
honomcimlly small number of 0 ; the
owcst number of any other year wns
ill , while the nverngo loss of life lias
teen 517 , 11 in excess of the It'sa of
: ho present year. The number of
sisunltios on the Atlantic coast within
ho soopo of the service was 1C , lllena
him in thu previous year , while on
hu takes the number was UJ , against
III" the previous year. The number
m thu 1'acillc coast wns but 5. On
loard the vessels involved there w 10
880 persons , of whom 1854 were
saved and 2t lost. Service was
afforded at the stations to108 ehip
ivrccliutl people , there being 1,000
ilays relief furnished in the aggregate.
The number of persons brought
nahoro by life savim ; appliances were
408. The life saving crows assisted
oil'when stranded , removed from dan-
gurous pi sitious and piloted to places
of safety , 158 vessels. In sumo of
the eases the men worked in conjunc
tion with other wrecking agencies , but
generally by themselves. Uoth vos-
icls and crows in many instances were
n imminent danger of construction
The estimated value of vessels involv
ed in the disasters is $2,7442I7 ,
and the cargoes 81,310,1(05 , ( ,
making a total of $4,554,752 ; of this
82,828.080 WHS saved , and 81,728,072
lost. The number of disasters in
volving the total destruction of VCH-
sols was 009. Of thu 2i ( persons lost ,
20 were drowned immediately by thu
foundering or capsizing of vessels be
fore any help could roach them.
Scvor.il of the rescues a-complishod
were of the most daring and difficult
character. In ono instance the ser
vice rendered cost the lives of three
men of a gall.uit crew , the remaining
men being crippled one for life.
Additional stations are again rec
ommended as follows : Ono at or
near Grand Mann , Lake Superior ;

D.infont , of the Hiisiunded | Kansas'
banks , has had business relations
with thu Clinso Nati'Mial Hink ; and
Messrs. Domutll , l wson it Co. ,
banker * of this city. The Clinso
National Hank wns thu correspondent.
for tliojlliinnewoll and Caldwt'll banks
and Dounoll , Lawaon it Co. were
corrospondenta for the Osage City bank.
John Thompson , of the Glume national
bank , said to-duy that D.inford came
to New York tux weeks ago to try and
raino some money on some Hunnewoll *
City bonds , which ho afterwards took
to Itoaton , but he failed to make ne
gotiations. Ho drew out his account
at the Chase bank and the latter had
to protest some of his drafts.
Mr. Thompson says Mr. Danfortl saitl
that four banks were too many for any
ouo man to run. Of Diinnoll , Lawson
it Co. it was saitl that they had
$10,000 in Hunnewell City bonds hy
pothecated with them for an nitvanco
of about $5,000 to the Osao City
bank. The bonds were probably
worth from § 12,000 to 813,000.
Mr. Thompson , of the Chase na
tional bank , says that when Danford
was trying to negotiate Uunnowell
City bonds , hu ( Thompson ) told him
three banks were too many for any
one man to run , he told him that
Djuford's reputation waa fair , and
when lie ran onu bank ho did
it admirably and imule money.
Ilo regarded Danford us a
smart , keen man , and was very m > rry
ho had got into truublo.
At the oll'iuo of Dotmoll , Lawson iV
Co. , it was mvid they had Sld.OOO in
lluniiuwoll City bonds hypothecated
with them for advances of about § 5,000
tt > the Usage bank , which
were probably worth from S12-
000 to Sl.'J.OOO. Mr. D.uiferd
had como well recommended whoa hi )
opened the account , and his reputa
tion was < ood. The probable cause
of his trouble was over hading. Ho
had loaned out too much monuy and
thu receipts wore short.
