WASHINGTON , December 21. The
secretary of the interior has decided
in the case of the mineral ailianta
against the town mtc of Dcadwood
ihat the town sita should bo patented
for the whole location oxccpt where
mineral entries were niada prior to
its location , and that patents issued to
mineral claims and to the town
site should contain no mutual reserva
tion , as in the case of patents for lode
claims within the boundaries of town
siton. Mineral land at Deadwood is
placer in its nature , and therefore its
surface is necessary for its working.
A town situ and a placer claim in their

NBW YOUK , December 21 , Con
sidcrahlu interest wns felt throuijlimi
the city last ni ht over the roper
that two boats' crows of the Arctic
vessel tlounnettu had been saved. I
was stated the boats contained twen
ty-throo cf the crew and three of the
ollicers Capt. DoLonjr , Surgeon Ambler
lor and Engineer Melvillo. - Later
dispatches confirmed these state
mcnts and said boat No. 2 was
still missing. Conners was found a
his oflico in The Herald building last
evening , but said ho could not say
anything in addition to the dispatches
received by the press. He had hopes
that boat No. 2 was not lost.
It had started out with the
other boats and there had beet
no heavy weather to drive it out ol
the regular route. The boas had
been separated by o. fog , and ho had
every confidence N . 2 would turn up
She was , in fact , only three days be
hind the others and this distance
could bo readily accounted for by the
lesser spread of canvas , or
the heavy weii ht in the
water. A brother o Mr. Colling
the Herald correspondent who was
with boat No. 2 , waa .present during
the interview and coincided wit )
Connors' theory.
Further advices regarding tha Jean-
nctto state the natives found a boa
containing Engineer Melville and toi
of the crow of the Jean
nettu on the 14th ot September a
Capo Itorklu , forty vcrsts north , o
Capo BuckofT. All of them were in a
most deplorable condition. Engineer
Melville reported that the Jeanuetto
was ripped by ice on the llth of Juno
in latitude 77 north , longitude 157
cast ; that the crow set out in three
boats but the , latter fjo
separated fifty miles scutl
of the Lena river , owing to stormi
winds and dense fogs. Boat No. i
reached the eastern mouth of the
tena river on the 2'th ! of September
when their further progress wai
native hamlo
stopped by-ice-near
on , Bolound. On the 20tk o
October two1 sailors Hind
'man and Horros of boa

news thaVCapt DjLflcg. , Dr. Arable
an'd twelve survivors Kad rbacheH the
northern mouth .of the Lena river
where they remained , being unable to
proceed , owing to weakness' from exposure
posuro and starvation , many of them
were ill and had their limbs f r oxen
The governor of Jakoutsk was at once
informed by throe Boulound nativei
of the condition of the survivors and
Bent a doctor , with supplies and otli
or necessaries , with orders to reach
the rest of the crow and make
thorn comfortable. A search
ing expedition was also
sent after the second boat , but noth
ing had been heard from it. The
Rusniaii government has ordered every
moauure to bo taken for those left in
the ice at the northern mouth of the
Lena river , and also for the discovery
of the missing boat.
IiiKOUTriK , December 19 ; The
Governor of Jakoutsk writes that on
September 14th , three natives ol
Hogananlons dn Seigano at Capo Bar-
hay , 140 versts north of Capo Bakpf ,
discovered a large bout witl ;
survivors from the shipwrecked
steamer , the Jeatinette. Thoyjiad
suffered greatly. The adjict , or chid
o'f the district , was immediately
charged to proceed with a doctor and
medicine to succor the survivors at
Jakoutsk and to search for the
rest of the shipwrecked crew , 500
roubles being assigned to meet the
most urgent expenses. Engineer
Melville has sent three indontical tel
egrams , ono addressed to the London
otlico of the Herald , ono to the secre
tary of the navy nt Washington and
the third to the minister of the Uni
ted States at St. Petersburg. The
poor fellows have lost everything.

WASIIINOTON , December 21 Tlio
secretary of the navy and the secre
tary of state this afternoon had a con
sultation regarding the question of
succoring the survivors of rho Jean-
netto. A telegram will bo sent the
Russian authorities asking if any
assistance in the way of food , money
and other necessaries are needed for
the party. Should this bo tlio case ,
the Kussian government will bo asked
to furnish any needed supplies and the
United States government will make
reparation at the earliest possible mo-
nent. It is not impossible an at-
; empt will be made to reach them
from Japan , whore some United States
vessels now are , and which is much
icaror the party than any'othor. The
Rodgora is wintering in St. Lawrence
jay , and not in Hudson day , and that
s u point 500 miles fram the place
vhero the Jeannutte is reported to
tare boon wrecked. It will taka seven
veeks to reach the Rodgers , but as
ior commander some time since sent
a party to the mouth of the Colina
river for news , and us the missing
x > it probably landed near there , they
nay nave heard of it.
The following was sent this day to

NEW YOKK , December 21. ' Thus
far 480 of the Nuirent & Co. factory
ot Newark , N. J. , have been dis
charged , leaving only about 100 em
ployed. These , it is s tiled , will also
bo discharged by the 10th of January
and work will then cease. It is un
curtain whether the sale of the fac
tory will realize anything. There are
mortgages to the amount of § 80,000
on the building and it is thought at a
forced sale the property will not bring
that amount. It is estimated that the
failure of the Mechanics' bank will
affect the welfare and employment of
fully 2,500 men during the coming
winter.
About 150 of the depositors of the
bank have certified their acceptance
of the tori s offered by the directors.

WANIIINOVON , December ' 'I. The
Guituixu trial wns resumed this morn
ing with a great crowd present. Tliu
jurora were nil in tholrplncos. llobbi ,
whosu wife died , was pale , nnd wept
at intorvala during Um sesium. Gui-
tcnu appeared pleased at the extra attention -
tontion ho attracted boauiso of his
shnvod fnco. Ho hnd n eontrovorsj
with his brother John W. , because tlio
latter refused to go to see curtain pur-
ties whom the prisoner vrhlu'd to con
tribute to the expenses oT tlie trial.
The cross-examination of Dr. Hamilton -
ilton was continuud by Scovillo , who
aakod the court to exclude ) oilier ex
perts while the cronacxarniimtion pro
ceeded. D.ividge objected to the ox-
elusion of the exports. The prisoner
interrupted that lip was willing the ex
perts should remain , and that he hnd
full faith in their honor and integrity
Davidgo 1 waa just about to say
that myselt.
Ouitcau Then I appoint you my
defender. [ Laughter. ]
The court declined to make the
order at present , nnd the cross-oxmui-
nation of Hamilton was resumed.
The witness defined outward and in
ward indications of insanity , and gave
an elaborate disquisition on dreams.
lie defined inspiration as a dra\vinjjin. |
"Yes , " interrupted Guitoau.
[ Laughter. ]
Witness had hoard of people
being inspired to build churches
and do acts of a similar nature. He
considered such persons perfectly sao o.
Ho instanced the Mormons , win
claimed inspiration to take three 01
four wives.
Scoville questioned at great longtli
about the witness' belief in spiritual
agencies and influences oh the minds
of persons , claiming that ho wanted
to show that insanity not always it
duo to physical laws.
The prosecution objected and debate -
bate followed Scovillo laid that the
prisoner and his father believed in a
personal demon.
Guiteau shouted at the top of his
voice that ho believed jn n personal
God also , and when the. pressure came
upon him the point was to find oul
whether the Deityvor the'dnrnon ox
ercuicd'it. He prayo'd cW Greeks ,
and then was convinced God wanted
him to remove the president because
of the political situation.
Scovillo read a number of intricate
( mentions on insanity from paper , and
was frequently interrupted by Gui
tcau , who eaid ho wanted Chas. H.
Hood , of Chicago , and Clark Mills pul
on the stand , and said : "Mills want
ed to immortalize his name by taking
n cast of my face , and to oblige him ]
took off my board. "
Witness said ho did not behove ir
moral insanity ; that was a term used
to excuse acts commited as the result
of ungovernable anger and lust.
Scoviilo read from the pamphlet of
a Now York doctor an extract to tin
effect that many persona wore verging
on insanity and ordinarily passed that
decree for want of exciting causes.
After a little pressing witness replied
in the aftinrmti/o and Scovillo Hat
down.
In the re-direct examination the
witness said many persons may bu
medically insane and yet know per
fectly well the difference between
rieht and wrong.
Dr. Hamilton then produced a dia
gram of Guiteau'B head and said the
left side was not grossly depressed but
was represented very fairly ; a shaded
head was not a typic head , however.
Dr. Worcester was placed on the
stand by the prosecution. Witness
said ho had been daily in attendance
at the court and had carefully watched
the prisoner's conduct and made care
ful examination of him in jail , and ho
had no doubt of Guiteau'a insanity.
Col. Cork hi 11 then road ; i long
hypothetical case , going over the
prominent details of the prisoner's
iifo up to his incarceration in jail
after the assassination. "Assuming
all those propositions bo true , " naked
the district attorney , "stato whether
'
in your' opinion the prisoner at the
bar won sane or insane at the time of
the shooting of President Garfiold. "
"In my opinion thu man was sane. "
"Oh , " sneered Guiteau , 'Jyou ex
pect to got five hundred dollar * for
; hat opinion. "
Another long hypothetical cane ,
dealinginainly with the a&saaain'a moral
obliquities , was then read , the pris
oner interjecting his usual cries of
"False , " r'It'a a lie ; " and crying about
ils divorce inspiration ,
Witness' answer to this _ was the
name that the prisoner was sane.
The priHonor got excited when the
data of the inspiration theory was
izod at several weeks after the shoot-
ng and declared Unit ho used the
erm to Mr. Nordhoff , of Tlio New-
York Herald , on July 'id. Ho was
{ pBticuluting wildly on this subject
when the court rose for n recess.
When court resumed the number of
spectators had sensibly diminished ,
ho inclemency of the weather keep-
ng many afternoon visitors at home.
I'ho prisoner looked fierce when ho
came in ; bin looks did not belie him.
As soon OH the manacles wore removed
10 vociferated against Corkhill trying
a make it appear the inspiration
heory was not thought of until
weeks after the 2d of July. The dis.
riot attorney brought a man to IUH
call on July ! ld , introduced him as a
reporter , and then got an extended
interview , in which the inspiration
WAS used. Itumvicked for Corkhill
to undertake to bring a Ho before the
jury in this way.
The witness , Dr. Worcester , hero
made a litllo speech , to the effect that
ho was an unwilling witness , and did
not testify for the prosecution or the
defense. Ho was present bore simply
to express his opinion as to the con *
dition of the prisoner.
" 1 don't think , " ad ! Scoville ,
"that the iuostion | of impartiality
comes in now. "
"I want to say , " interrupted Cork-
hill , "that 1 found the \yilness un
willing to testify , and I think him 0110
of the most important wituc-sara in
this case. "
"Stop , " shouted Seovillo , this is
not the time to address the jury , and
you arc not a witness in the cose. "
The dispute between counso was
stopped by Judge Cox , who said it
was no lime to fortify a witness.
_ Col. Corkhill said he merely de
sired to show that the witness was a
reluctant one.
"lie is very reluctant. Ho is wait
ing for his monoy. Give him $500
and ho will go buck on you , " said
Guiteau. Scovillo then began the
cross-examination of the witness , get
ting him to give the details of his
education and experience as a doctor.
Witness said ho had written a work
on insanity and its treatment.
Guiteau chuckled and said : "It
must bo a very exhaustive work. "
Laughter. ]
"What 'is the title of the book ! "
asked Scovillo.
"I cannot remember its exact title , "
was the reply. " "It la a book of102
paces. "
"And you cannot remember its
title ? " cried Guituau. "You must bo
a smart follow. "
Witness stated that ho wrote u letter -
tor to Scoville , unsolicited , on De
cember ' -M. Ho had made up his
mind that the prisoner was insane
when the letter was written. "I be
lieved him iimano and wrote the letter
to see if 1 could be of any service to
wards the man. " Witness changed
his opinion after an interview that he
had with the prisoner in the jail , and
was confirmed in it by the testimony
ho had heard in court.
Giiitoiiu frequently interrupted the
witness.
"Then the reason you have changoc
your opinion is because you don't be
lieve now the things you then be
lieved to bo facts in the case ? " askoc
Scoville.
"I don't know , " slowly ronlicd tlu
witness , "That was acme time ago
I no longer believe things I then sup
posed to be facts as true as I thei
did. "
"What is the good of wasting tinn
with him ? " shouted Guiteau. "Yoi
are OH stupid as ho IB , Scovillo. Yet
luu o compromised my case every timi
you began your miserable cross-exam
ination. I won't stand it. You an
not tit to bo on the case. Your pgot
ism and vanity have kept otninen
counsel from undertaking my defense
Your business is examining abstracts o
title and I won'Hiavo you comprom
sing my life , which is exactly whal
you're doing by yourblundoring ways
That is the truth. " Ho concluded
with a vigorous thug on the table.
Dr. Worcester was further asked il
ho believed it probable that a mm
could bo dominated by a religious delusion
lusion to the extent that he woulc
lesotho power to control his action !
and replied that he did. Laying hand !
upon the sick with the expectation
that the act would restore thorn tc
health WMI an indication of insanity.
The prisoner again became worked
up with tiigu as this line was con
tinued. Ho turned to Scovillo fiercely -
ly : "You have not Iho ordinary wit ol
n Hchool boy. I would rather manage
the case myself than have such a con
summate fool on it. [ Laughter/
Send in your bill to Uorkhill and g < i
hontu. You 80om to bo working for
the government. [ ] < oud laughter , in
which the court joined. ] You talk
and talk and don't hit , anything. "
Witness admitted writing a postal
card to Scovillo early in the trial ,
reading as follows : "Accept my con
gratulations on the manner in which
you hare thus far conducted the de
fense. It may not bo peculiar , but it
is right nnd just. "
Guiteau becumo rampant again. He
glared lircely at his counsel , and
shouted at the top of his voice : "It
is an outrage on justice that this man
Scovillo should compromise me in this
way , and I request him publicly to
get out. If 1 had John D. Townsend
or Charles H. Rend , wo could got
along cmito nicely. Scovillo has no
wit and no HOIIBO , and between him
and Corkhill I am having a very hard
t'mo. ' "
The peal of laughter which followed
Die remark pleased the assauinmuch.
Ho laughed aloud and said : "Iam the
best imturod man in the world when I
am not abused , but I cannot stand
abuse. "
Dr. Worcester was permitted to
give the substance of a letter ho wrote
; o Scovillo , which ho did as follows :
f wrote tolling Scovil'o ' of the opinipu
[ had formerly in regard to the sanity
or insanity of the prisoner , and that I
nought it would bo more to the cred-
t and good name of the American
looplo if the killing of the president
vua the act of an insane
nun rather than that (
a criminal or disappointed
ollico Becker. T do not think I used
he last few words , but that was my
dea. I also told my qualifications
or forming an opinion and the oxpcr-
once J hud ; that I had no desire tor
lotorioty , und asked if I could bo of
my service , I think I added that I
EIIOW it was an unpopular view of the
case to take.
"That's all , " said Scovillo.
In reply to Davidgo , the witness
Biiid ho hud changed IUH opinion after
in ! examination of Guiteau ,
"Why did you refuse to give an
opinion on the hypothetical cane ? "
asked Davidge ,
"Because it was ambiguous , " was
he response. *
Scovillo reqaoated thu wit now to
mint out in what respect it was am-
> imious.
1 lo answered : "Tlio word inspir.v
ion was the mniiistumbling block , "
" 1 used the word inspiration , "
mwled Guitoiui , "to indicate Iho in-
icrjcction of divine influence into my
jody. You are a respiration man
KTO. " [ Laughter. ]
Scoville , continuing to direct his
lypotlioticnl case in order to draw out
the witness further , the prisoner said
rapidly and snecringly as ho glared
sav.iijoly at Cork-lull , said : "In view
of this hypothetical case of Corkhill ,
or whatever he calls it , t want to say
that the more- outward fact of romov-
ng the president would bo
exactly parrallol if done on
ny account as if done by
inspiration from the Doily , whether
[ was actuated by revenue or wns sim-
) ly the agent of thu Deity. That is
he question , and let it go before the
iury. The outward fact is the same
U either casn. That's all that there is
toil. "
Witness told about meeting Charles
II. Heed ul , a meeting of experts , who
submitted Unco views as to thu sanity
> r insanity of the prisoner in writing ,
Mid Heed regarded that nearly all
igrocd that Guitunu was on thu bor-
lur line , and it only wanted a very
ittlo more testimony to send him
) Tor it.
"What do you understand by the
word 'pressure' as used in this ensc. ' "
asked the diotrict attorney.
"It is nimply another term for the
ight going on in a man who is subject
to the temptation of evil , " was the re
sponse.
'Wait a moment , " cried Scoville ,
as thu witness was about to leave the
stand.
"Oh , let the man go , " shouted Gui
teau , impatiently. "Ho ought to have
gone two hours ago. If I was indicted
for manslaughter , Scoville would have
mo convicted for murder. Get oil' thu
case , Scovillo. I'm not going to stand
this kind of work any longer. "
"No ono realizes that fact more
than 1 do , your honor , " said Scovillo
mournfully.
"Then got oil' the case , you con
founded ii'iot , " said Guiteau , rod hot
with rage , "you arc compromising the
case all the time. "
' I have no more to ask the witness , "
said Scoville , quietly.
"Then not oil' the cose , " bawled
Guitean again. "Notwithstanding the
blunders you have made , J expect ( till
that the Almighty will protect me ,
but it will taku a special act of God to
acquit mo the way Scovillu has bee ! )
going at it. " | l/uiyhter. ]
His sister tried to calm him but he
turned furiously on bur and shouted :
"You shut up. My relations are n
consummate nuisance. They have
never been anything to mo and I wisli
they would go homo. "
Mrs. Scovillo'a oycs tilled with lean
at this savage attack.
Mrs. Dunmoro was recalled by tin
defense. She merely identified r
photograph of Guiteau , taken bpfprt
the Chicago tire , and spoke of giviii ) ;
him a pair of gloves in Chicago aftoi
the divorce. The prisoner did no
want to accept the glove * , on the
ground that ho had no overcoat , in
the pockets of which ho could cavrj
them ,
"I very seldom wear an overcoat,1
said Guitoau. " 1 wouldn't wear one
if I was worth a million dollars. "
This course of examination being
persisted in , the prisoner made an
other furious attack on Scovillo , urg
ing him to got oirthu case if ho wanted
to BIWO his life.
Tlio Logansport witness who testi
fied to seeing Guitoau in that town
soiling the "Lifo of Moody , " was recalled -
called by the prosecution , and pro
duced two copies of the work mud to
have been sold by the prisoner at thu
timo. On the tly leaf of one the
words "Chas. J. Guitoau , Chicago ,
111.'wore ' written faintly in pencil ,
so faintly that it almost required a
microscope to see them. Tlio pris
oner worked himself up into another
fit , stating that ho wrote a
heavy nignaturo , and wanted the jury
to compare that in the bbok
and the ono ho dashed
off on a slip of paper , to see what an
infernal liar ho could be proved. Ho
tried to send the book and signature
to the jury , but Davidgo threw it on
the desk. Guiteau had walked to
wards the table of the prosecuting
counsel and had boon on his feet
longer and further out of the line of
liis guard than at any period during
the trial. The cracking of a nut by
some one in the audience canned him
o start back hurriedly and he sank
nto his scat. No hood was paid to
iia demand that the jury should then
and there pass judgment upon the
signature.
Court then adjourned until to-nion
row.
