The procession moved a few minutes after one o’clock, marching to the Arlington by way of Pennsylvania avenue, 37th and H streets. At the Capitol. The reception to the French and German visitors at the Capitol attracted throngs of visitors, all in- tent upon gaining admission to the rotunda. Shortly before 2 o'clock the rotunda was cleared, and guards were stationed at all the doors to pre- vent the inevitable crush that would have followed had everybody been admitted. At 2 o’eloc he Senate ok a recess of half an hour and the Senators all repaired to the rotund: to meet the guests. General Sherman and_other army officers and remuinent government oft arrived at the Cap- tol ha hour and more ahead of the procession and w there with the Senators. The teadopted a resolution granting the privilees of the floor to the guests, and It was de- ¢lded that they should be Introduced on the floor after the reception in the rotunda. ‘The guests were presented to the President by the French minister, M. Outrey. Mme, Outrey wa the only lady of the diplomatic corps present. Tin- mediately after the reception in the rotunda the guests were escorted to the Senate chamber. ‘The procession turned Into the plateau at the east front of the Capitol about twenty minutes to thive o'clock.

Lively Street Scen The avenue was very lively to-day. Many peo- ple of the city turned out about noon to witness the parade-escort to the Capitol of the visiting for- elgners. ‘The Treasury steps and other points of view along the route presented crowds of people waiting for the'procession. By one o'clock these crowds had become sugimented and passage along the avenue was made with difficulty, although there was no jam. Outside the population of tae city there were many others on hand. —Commene- ton besan to fill up with rs. From eight o'clock this morning Penn- la avenue has presented a much more lively ‘ance than ustal. ‘There, were more people § more life abroad. ‘The Whit» House wai ted by hundreds of people, who could not get inside, as it was closed. "The visitors thronged the department corridors until twelve o'clock, when everything was closed to the outside world." The street cars were crowded. ‘The recep- tion to the foreign visitors, the military displiy this afternoon, and the fireworks to-night attract- ing many of the strangers who are here, but. most of them were only stopping here on their way to Yorktown, ‘There are many people from Baltimore in the city, Washington will certainly be much more lively than usual during the Yorktown fes- tivities. When the departments ciosed at noon the clerks added to the already thickly thronged avenue. The parade was witnessed by thousands. The Fireworks To-Night, Etc. ‘The executive committee of the Yorktown cele- bration met last night at Col. Ainger’s office—the president, Mr. Dentin the chair, and Mr. M. M. Parker secretary, with a full attendance of mem- bers. Mr. Ainger, from the committee on illumin- ation and fireworks, reported the prospects falr for a good display to-night. ‘They have a fair show, he said, for electric lights to-night on the Avenue. FINANCIAL. Mr. Cross, from the finance committee, reported that he had received in actual cash $4,525.85, and this will probably reach $5,000 when some other payments of subscriptions are made. From the merchants of Georgetown they nad received $125. ‘The Belt Line rafiroad had subscribed $100. ‘The Washington Market Company declined to contrib- ute, as did the Washington and Georgetown Ratl- road Company. The Repudtican office had con- tributed $25 more, making #50, ag had the Post. Mr. F. K. Ward made a report that he had collect- ed every dollar of subscriptions upon his book with the exception of those of the railroad com- Pantes, Of the $900 standing on his book he had collected #457, which he handed over to the meet- ing, and thé difference between this and the amount outstanding he would sive his own per- sonal check for, so that every cent he had prom- ised would be made up.

THE ILLUMINATION. ‘The committee on Sllumination was made happy to-day by the announcement that there was no further obstacle in the way of the electric lighting of Pennsylvania avenue to-night. All the needed apparatus arrived from Baltimore in charge of Mr. A. Saks this morning. It ts expected that they will be in proper order for to-night's {ilumination. Hundreds of people visited the monument lot to- day to wateh the workmen putting up poles and stringing wires for the display of flreworks to- night. Mr. Warden, a member of the pyrotechnic firm, said to a Sra reporter this afternoon that he expected the display would be unusually fine. NOTES OF THE DAY.

GUITEAU TAKEN BACK TO ATL. After leaving the court room Guiteau was taken up stairs, and a large crowd gathered about the east portico. The prison van being drawn to the 2ast door of the building, the crowd made a rush to that point, but about 123; o'clock the prisoner was juietly walked through the basement and thro ia the center of the new building. where a carriage was in waiting, and accotapanied by Wiiliams and Tall he Was taken bark to jail. COUNSEL FROM CHICAGO. Mr. Wm. Stevenson Johnson, of Chicago, law partner of Emory Storrs, has arrived in the city for the purpose of taking part in the defence of Gul- teau. A MAN WHO INTENDED TO SH00T GUITEAU BUT COULD NOT GET A PISTOL. While Gutteau was being arraigned a lange stzca middle-aged white man approacl and asked for the loan of a pist« After the proceedings in the star route case in vot ntoones at the Criminal Court room this morning were over : Judge Cox retained his seat, and as a number of members of the bar and others remained in the Toom it was thought by those present that other proceedings of no ordinary eRaracter were to fo!- low. It was soon known that Deputy Marshal Wilifams was absent from the building and then there was a whisper around the room that Guiteau would be called in for arratenment. This was made certain to outsiders by the posting of police- men at the doors of the court room. At a few min- utes past 11 o’clock Mr. Scoville, Guiteau’s attor- ney, came into the room, and passing through the witdiess| room, proceedéd. to 8 rooin up statrs, where the prisoner had been taken. Rev. Dr. J. P: Newman, of New York, Rev. George V. Leech and Rev. Mr. Hartsock were among the tors. Captain Vernon, Lieut. Eckloff and others of the police were stationed about the room. Wille watt. ng for the appearance of the prisoner a nuinber of spectators entered the Toom, among others a col ored man of herculean frame and not prepossessin; countenance, who was thought to be a “Jersey “avenger.” APPEARANCS OF THE PRISONER. At 11:15 o'clock, preceded by Marshal Henry and Deputy Williams, and flanked by Bailiff Tall and a detective, the prisoner came into court and was shown to a seat in front of the clerk’s desk. He Ked with a quite nervous step, and. his restles= ‘yes seemed to indicate that he was somewhat frightened, He was attired in a black suit with striped caltco shirt. He was handcuffed when brought in. Guiteau looked broken in health an: uneated for in person, His hair fs closely croppe: but his cheek and chin whiskers are worn thi but not long. His dark clothes were rusty and shabby, and its whole person pi a remurk-| ably neglected appearance. He stood nervously before the bar, with nis left wrist tightly clasped! by his richt hand, and with eyes nearly closed, th: Has trembling constantly. Col. Corkhill remarked: “May {t please the court, the grand jury have indicted Chas. J. Gu teau for the murder of James A. Garfleld, and th prisoner belng In court, I ask his arraigmment.” THE ARRAIGNMENT. The court acquiesced, and the prisoner was dl- rected to stand. His handeuffs had in the mean- time been removed. * Mr. Frank Williams, the clerk, rising, sald :—‘ Is your name Charles J. Guiteau?” ‘The prisoner.—*1t 1s” Mr. Wil proceeded to read the indictment, the prisoner standing up, with his head most of tie time tnelined to. the right shoulder, his eyes halt closed or wholly so, his hands crossed over his stomach as if they still wore the handcuffs, and his general air that of sickly indifference. ’ The reading occupled nearly half an hour, and durlug all that time Guiteau hardly once ‘changed his attitude or bearing, and rarely opened is eyes. the slightest degree of Interest in the scene In which he was the chief actor; and Dut for an occasional slight movement, might be supposed to be asleep in a standing attitude. UITEAU PLEADS “‘NOT GUILTY” AND WANTS TO MAKE A STATEMENT. Mr. Willams concluded reading the indictment (during whtch there was almost perfect silence) in about twenty-five minutes, and asked: “What say you to this indictment? Are you guilty or not guilty?” ‘The prisoner took from his pocket a paper. Col. ‘Corknill—Enter your plea ot gulity or not ye * The prisoner.—Well,your honor, I enter a plea of guilty, and desire to make a statement. Judge Cox.—You can make st some other time. The prisoner took his seat. COL. CORKHILL ASKS TO GO TO ‘TRIAL NEXT MONDAY. Col. Corkhill.—I now desire this case to be set for trial Monday morning next, peremptorily. STATEMENTS OF GUITEAU AND HIS COUNSEL. Mr. Scoville asked to read_a statement, and pro- ceeded to read one by the detendant, to the effect that he has no money or means, and thatin his de- fense it {s necessary for him to have witnesses from a distance. Also, one made by himself, to the effect that he was not ready for trial, having been In the case only abont ten days; that the defense would be the insanity of the prisoner, and that the wound was not necessarily mortal, ald was not the cause of the President’s death. Also, that he has failed to get the names of certain witnesses from the prisoner, and that he expects to show by wit- nesses in New York and Chicago hereditary insan- ity in the family; that L. W. Guiteau, the father of the accussed, was a monomantac on the subject of religion. He also expected to show that death was the Tesult of malpractice on the part of the princl- pal physician. He asked am order for the wit- nesses, 44 in number. Mr. Scoville sald, acting unfer the instructions of his client, he had endeavored to get him suita- bie counsel—being himself not famiflar with crimt- nal practice—and had applied to Mr, Emory Storrs, of Chicago, who had declined; also to Mr. R. ‘T: Merrick, who feared that he could not attend. He had written to Gen. Butler, but had not. yet heard from him. It was important that the prisoner should be properly defended, and he asked, if Gen. Butler should decline, that the prisoner be allowed to select counsel. MR. SCOVILLE PLEADS FOR TIME. Mr. Scoville sald that, as he understood tt, under the statute the prisoner was entitled to as many counsel as should be necessary in the discretion of the court, to be paid by the United States. As far as he was concerned there is no desire to delay the triala single day, but the witnesses could not be procured ina day or a week. He desired the court to ald him to procure these witnesses and to give him alittle time to prepare, while he was willing to have ft dis of a8 Soon as possible, with the vey of giving the prisoner a fair and impartial that he noticed he had asked him iim. of the court, and then approached that he was a upon ’ said: firnish you led lin down 44 str: when they were : “T cues we cant get and started leave, but Mr. Coot Als olny md he Was given a seat in the reception | watched, and the physicians who usu “| “cranks” were summoned to. i a | Mr. Coom: him as a friend of his. was Geo.

To-day he remained at the Jones on Capitol Hill until he went to the Cap part in the reception of our distinguished fore guests. Ex-Secretary Boutwell called early hada long conference.

Paymaster McClure calle It is announced by the close friends of the Pre: dent that no change will be made tn the Cabl- net until after the Yorktown Centennial, and that the President has requested Attorney General MacVeagh to remain in the Cabinet until after the star route prosecutions will be under way. ‘The quid nuncs now have it that neither Judge Folger or ex-Goy. Morgan will be Secretary Win- dom’s successor. In the main the impression is that ex-Senator Conkling will take the Treasury and meanwhile it is not improbable that ex-Sena: tor Howe will be appointed. Ex-Senator Thurman returned to this city last night. He occuples his 14th street residence. He dined with Senator Pendiction last nightut Worm- ey’s. Senator Bayard does mot seem at all perturbed over the loss of the Senate Presidency. Yesterday he went with Senator Pendleton to the races in Wormley’s tally-ho coach. Applications for office by mall are now being made, but not to any alarming extent. ‘The President will take up his residence in the White House about the middle of next month. The influx of office-seekers continues. |Gen.
