WASHINGTON ; January Ul. - Not
withstanding thu drenching rain , thu
court was crowded and hundreds were
turned away. More than one-half of
the audience were women wearing
water proofs. Guiteau took the wit
ness chair and said : "I am not afraid
I am going to bo shot at. I sit down
because I may tiro. May it please
the court and nentlomon of the jury.
The prosecution pretend I am a
wicked man. Scovillo and Reed say
1 am a lunatic. I certainly was oil
the 2d ol July , when T fired on the
president. The American people
generally say I was one. I presume
you think I was one. Can you im
agine anything more insane than my
going to that depot and shooting the
president of the United States ? You
are here to say whether I was nano or
insane at that moment. Remember
at that moment , when I tired the
shot. Yon have nothing to do with
my cindition before or since that shot
was lired. If you have any doubt of
my siiiity at that moment , you must
give mo the bcnerit of that doubt and
acquit. If you have any doubt
whether I fired the shot on my
own account or as the agent of
the Deity , you must acquit. If 1
lired it on my own account I was sane.
If I tired it , supposing myself the
agent of the Deity , I was insane , and
you must acquit. That is the law as
given in the recent decision in thu
New York court of appeals. It rev
olutionises the old rule and is a grand
step forward in the theory of insanity.
It is worthy of this age of railroads ,
electricity and telephones , and it
comes from the progressive state of
New York. I have no hesitation in
saying it is a special providence in my
favor , and ask this court and jury so
to consider it. Some of the best
people of America think I am the
greatest man of this ago [ laughter ]
and this feeling is growing. They bo-
< ljnve in my inspiration and .that prov
idence and I have really saved the na
tion another war. My speech setting
forth my defense in detail was tele
graphed Sunday to all the leaning pa
pers in America and published Mon
day morning , and now ! am permitted
by his honor to address it to you.
Only ono mistake occurred in
it and that was my fault and
I desire to express my indebtedness
to the American press for the able
way in which they have reported this
case. The American press is a vast
engine. They generally bring down
their man when they open on him.
They opened on mo with all their bat
teries last July because they did not
know my motive and inspiration
I II when I shot the president. Now
that they know my motive and inspi
ration their bitterness has gone. Some
editors are doubleheadedthey cnrso
you to-day and bless yon to-morrow
as they imagine public opinion is for
or ag.unst you , which shoe's a very
low grade of character. I desire to
thank my sister , my brother and my
counsel , Mr. Scovillo and Mr. Hoed ,
for their valuable services on this trial.
I intend to give my counsel ample
fees , especially Mr. Scovillo. Ho is
a staunch man and a hero and I com
mend him to Chicago and the north
west as a first-class lawyer and Christian
gen loman. We have dillbred some
what as to the defense ; ho has his
theory and I have mine. 1 told him
to work his theory for all it was worth
and ho has done it in a masterly way
and I commend him for it , for hi * zeal
and his ability as an advocate. Con
sidering the slight experience ho has
had as an advocate , he has shown
himself a man of marked resources.
In other words yon cannot toll what
is in a man till ho has a chance to show
it. Some men never have a chance
and go down in obscurity to the
grave. There are plenty of brains in
this world , bin it is only the man who
has a chance that duvulopcs the fact
that ho hut brains. It is brain ! * , op.
portunity mid providuncu that makes
a great man. I return tlmnka to the
marshal and his aids , the superintend
ent of police and his force , thu war
den of thu jail and keepers , Gon.
Ayers and his troops , for the services
rendered mo during the trial , I return -
turn thanks to this honorable court
and to this bright jury for their long
and patient attention on this cose. I
am not hero as a wrecked man or as a
lunatic I am here as a patriot and
my speech is as follow ? . "
Guiteau then produced a newspaper
and settled down to his speech pub
lished last Monday. He delivered
about half a column from memory ;
when his memory gav3 out ho took
the newspaper and read from it nip-
idly until ho reached striking paeages ,
all of which he emphasized with pre
cision and elocution. When ho reach
ed the part daecribing the attempts
by Jones to shoot him he put down
the paper and , pointing to thu holes
in his sleeve made by the ball , said :
' Ladies and gentlemen : I was on my
way homo when this occurred. Neo
what a narrow escape I had. The
Lord protected mo and I am here to
addrnss you to-day. Jlo will continue by
> to protect and will end this trial with
f my complete vindication,1' When ho
came to the passage declaring ho had
always served the Lord , his vWco fal
tered and ho burst out in a lit of cry.
ing , in which ho was joined by Mrs.
Scovillo and several sympathetic
ladies. When ho resumed reading ho
declared everybody seemed hadny over
the removal of Garfieii | , ex
cept , ho said , a few 'cranks ,
and they will bo happy
soon. "Happiness is catchii g , " no
said. "ProsidontOarlioldmig it have
slipped on an orange peeliiig and
broken his neck. It is all a m itter of
providence. " At the refer nco to
John Brown , ho tried to give ' "glory
hallelajah ! " in choruRntylo , biit made
a failure. The audience tjltorod.
As his want of time became apparent
Guitcau at the conclusion of the read
ing , maiio an attempt to bo pathetic ;
his voice quivered as ho. spoke the
closing words and ho looked ) at the
jury with great earnestness ,
There was a sigh of relief when the
last word was spoken , and bo sank
back apparently exhausted , llhtnmn-
nor was studiously dramatic , imd he
betrayed a keen sense of his critical
situation. At the close of Imspei'di ,
it was .announced Porter would ho
ready tor delivery ol the final argu
incut for thu prosecution on Monday
and the court then adjourned.
WASHINGTON' , January 22. No one
was allowed to-day to see Guite&u ex.
cept his brother , who reports hiii
well and still hopeful. Judge ( Porter
expects to speak all during to-mor
row's session nnd possibly half of the
next day. Judge Cor says that his
charge will immediately follow Porter ,
whatever the time of day , and wil
bo about an hour and a half long , am'
a verdict can bo expected on

Smiill Pox-
National Associated 1'ri'RS.
NKW YOKK , January 21. Inspect
ors of the board of health to-day
found no less than 12 cases of small
po.in this city. Some of them have
been concealed for weeks. Lawrence
Tooloy , of Philadelphia , arrive'd last
night , having traveled in a crowded
car from Philadelphia , snll'eriiu' from
small pox. Ho was sent to the Iliver-
side hospital. In East Thirteenth
lit root , live concealed cases were
found. The death of ono of the pa
tients led to the discovery. Some of
the .sufferers have been ill fully two
weeks , in which time no isolation has
been attempted. Fdur cases were
found in East Third street , in a set
tlement of Bohemian cigar mukeis.
All had active work , keeping them in
constant communication with the
outer world. The inspectors took
away the material they were working
on and thoroughly fumigated every
thing.
Total number of cases of small pox
reported during the week , 36. More
than COO persons were vaccinated by
the bureau to-day. The number al
most reached 1,000 the day betore.
The Albany Deadlock ]
National Assoc atcd Press. I
ALUAHV , January 22. Edward
ICcnrnej and Gcri. Spinohi , Tannliatiy
representatives , said yesterday Tarn
many m mborsand senators will stand
whore they are until next January if
need be , rather than to sacrifice the
principle which animates them in this
contest. They simply refuse to vote
for a majority candidate on the antimonopoly -
monopoly platform. Tammany con
siders concession must be mutual if
the deadlock is to be broken. So
long as Manning insists on Jacobs for
president pro toiu. and other selected
candidates , there can be no organiza
tion. The people are greatly discon
tented with the situation at Albany- ,
and if wiser counsels do not speedily
prevail there will bo a mass conven
tion ofgdpmocrats called at an early
date to give the peoplean opportunity
of expressing themselves in unmistakable - .
takablo terms on this important qnes -
tion.

Mr. Bowman , of Done ) ; G. N. Clark ,

Judge Moody , the chairman of the

representatives of all political parties.
There are more to follow us and the
whole delegation will number abuul

"What is your basis for the pro
pos'd division ? "
"TheKith parallel is the natural
line of division. That would give us
a state extending from the 4Id ! parallel
and the Missouri river on the south
to the -Kith parallel on the north , and
from the SlOth to the 104th degree of
longitude. It would give southcri
D.ikota 7 ! > ,000 ( square miles and thu
northern portion 7-,000 square
miles. "
"What is the division of popula
tion ? "
tion'o
" \\'o ' are only able to furnish exact
figures on the population by showing
the ratio of increase since the census
of 1880 as shown by the voting. Wo ,
in southern Dakota , foot up to 200,000
people for our section , and wo rogarti
that under rather than over the truth.
Wo are perfectly satisfied of this fact
from facts within our knowledge.
The vote in 1878. was 10,000 , but ii.
1880 it had risoir to 29,000 , showing
ah increase of 55 per cent. "
"What will be the political aspects
r > ( the proposed admission ? "
"Tlio thing is urged by all parties ,
and the fooling is practically all one
way among both parties. Wo are not
going to congress on false pretenses ,
Tlio territory is largely republican ,
and with the present party issues
would undoubtedly remain so. The
fact simply is that the territory has .
reached that point where it can take
earn of itself , and its admission as
state has become a positive necessity. '

Dt'iiu.N ' , January 21. The tuios-
tion of liberating Mr. J'.irnell ana the
other members of parliament will bo
debated at the forthcoming cabinet
council in Dunlin Castle. There is
much difference of opinion on the
subject , some persons high in
authority favoring their immediate
release. Quinn , assistant secretary to
Daviss , ' who had charge of the legal
department of the league , and two or
three clerks of the United Ireland ,
will bo released immediately. Mr.
Dillon's release may be looked for at
any moment. In London there is a
rumor that Mr. Parnell and the other
imprisoned members of parliament
were asked to give an understanding
not to continue the land league agita
tion fur a certain time. On refusing
this , they are not likely to bo roleusod

CHICAGO , January 21. The trunk
line war , which commenced April 18 ,
1831 , was settled to-day in the
mooting of general froig' t agents of
eastern trunk linos. The roads repre
sented wore the Grand Trunk , Luke
Shore , 1'ittsburi ; , Ft. Wayne & Chicago
cage , Baltimore it Ohio and Michigan
Central. They adopted a nchedulu
according to agreement on east bound
freiuht , to go into the pool on a basis
of 20 cunts on gram , 25 cents ou pro
visions , IHI cents on flour , -10 cents on
dresnod beef , to Now York , and all
other classes in proportion ; to Boston ,
5 cunts additional ti * above rates ; to
Albany and I liulHon river points the
same as Now York ; to Philadelphia ,
5 cents less ; , to Baltimore , 2 cents
lcH4. This virtually maintains the
differential rates. It is estimated that
during the war the increase in tonnage
has been 18 per cent , and thu loss of
revenue 25 per cent. The airreo
mont goes into effect on Men-
day next , and Commissioner
Fink again assumes his duties
'Niw YOUK , January 21. Commis
sioner Fink , referring to the settle
ment of the trunk lines diflicultios ,
aaid he would appoint a committee of
three gentlemen not identified with
eltherof * the " floabonl cltics'"oi' rail
roads , to whom the question will be
referred when no agreement can bo
reached by the oflicials of the roads
on any question of rates or per cent-
ages. They will not have arbitrary
powers ; they will simply decide all
mutters referred to them and report
to him. The amount of forfeit money
which each road will put up has not
been determined. That point , as well
as the conditions of the pool for thu
division of east and west bound freights
nnd passenger traflic nnd the percentage
ago to which each cf the roads shall
be entitled , is to bo arranged imme
diately. There will not be any change
in passenger rales at present , but its
soon as these other questions are ur
ranged the rates will bo restored to
the prices which prevailed before the
war began. All the roads are now-
agreed to the terms an sent them. .
A dispatch last night from Mr.
Franklin Edison , president of the
produce exchange , in reference to the
effect of the increase in freight rates
between the west and Now York upon
the grain trade , nays it cannot fail to
have a temporary efl'oct hero , because
although the increase is nominally-
only from 15 to 20 cunts per 100
pounds , it is really much larger , the
rates for grain between Chicago and
Now York having really been 10 or 12
cents. "Hither wheat will fail in
Chicago or it will go up in Now York.
My belief is the price is likely to be
only temporary , because adhurancu to
published ritei : on thu part of the
railroads. Of many trunk line agree
ments such as this ono which T have
seen made , not one , ( o the best of my
belief and information , has hoen re
spected mure than ton davs , nnd 1 am
sorry to say the Now Yorlc roads are
usually the ones to gut the worst of '
the 'cutting' ' on rates. "
