WasHINGTON, October 3.—In the matter of the star route cases District Attorney Corkhill appeared before Judge Cox this morning and asked if it was not necessary for those againat whom the information has been filed to answer to the court before 3 motion could be made to set it aside. The court replied in the aftirmative. Col. Corkhill then asked that no motion may be entertained on the part of the defendants’ counsel until the gov- ernment be given two days’ notice. Judge Cox agreed to this and due no- tice will be given through Special At- torney William 0. Cook. Notwithstanding Judge Cex’s de- cision not to listen to any motion for quashing the information against the star-routers until the government has had two days’ notice, the defendants have not given notice, though a mo- tion to quash is already prepared and is in the hands of General Totter. It will be submitted to the court on Wednesday or Thursday, if an oppor- tunity is offered. Tt will be based on the ground that the recent filing of the information before presented to the grand jury was unusual and that the facts alleged and set forth are m- sufficient to maintuin the decision. GUITEAU, , ., EXAMINING WITNESSES, WasHINGTON, October 3.—At 11 a. m, the grand jury began to hear wit- nesses in the Guiteau case. The firat called was Surgeon-General Barnes, and a half dozen others were disposed of by noon, as follows: Dr. Lamb, Geo. Adams, Mrs, White, Officer Kearney, Detective McElfest and Mr. Baille, the stenographer who took down Guiteau's statement. It is expected that a bill may be returned some time to-day. AN IMMEDTATE ARRAIGNMENT PROBABLE It now appears that the witnesses heard by the grand jury in the case of Guiteau to-day were not fully exam- ined. Surgeon General Barnes and Dr. Lamb were requested to return to-morrow, to which time the grand jury adjourned. Tuis possible that a presentment will be made to-morrow, and perhaps an indictment will also be returned, as by to-morrow evening Scoville, the counsel and brother-in- law of Guiteau, will have arrived. It is not unlikely that a term may be fixed for the arraignment of the pris- oner. ONE CENT FOR COUNSEL FEES, This morning a money order was received from Smith Jones, Nelson- ville, Mich., for the payment of one cent to Guiteau to be used as counsel fees. THE ASSASSIN GETTING NERVOUS, The assassin is yery nervous as the day for arraignment draws near. Within the past few days there have been reports in circulation that parties contemplate an attack upon the jail, and it was said that New Yorkers, Jerseymen, Philadelphians and Balti- morians were to make the attack. No such attack was made. The probabil- ity is that the report had its origin in the fact that a few days ago a deter- mined looking man asked for admit- tance to the jail and was refused. It was noticed that he was hea armed. When he left he suddenly re- marked: ‘‘You may feed the wretch, but we will get him on Sunday night.” OTHER WASHINGTON NOTES.

Democrats and Republ}cxms Talking of a Fusion Ticket in Wisconsin. Discovery of the Writer of the Threatening Letters to Conkling. National Associated Pross. THE SENATORIAL CONTEST IN KANsA Lravenwourk, October 3.—Tt has been rumored tor some time past that a political alliance had been perfected between Governor St. John and Sena- tor Plumb. They have both. been looked upon as desiring to suceeed to the latter’s seat in the United States senate,.but all statements of the kind are now denied by Hon. Albert Grif- fin, who is known to be on intimate terms with Gov. St. John. His vt- terances are looked upon as semi-of- ficial. Among otter things he says that Governor. St. John is not a sena- torial candidate. CONKLING WILL NOT ATTEND. NEew York, October 3.—Conkling to-day sent word to the state com- mittee that he would not attend the state convention Wednesday. Governor Cornell will be in the city during the session, with reoms at the Fifth avenue hotel. Attorney- General Ward, a leading stalwart, admitted this morning that the half-breeds would eontrol the convention. The following seems to be the probable nominees of the two factions before the convention: State Treasurer—John A. Nichols, stalwart; H. L. Dugand, half-breed. Comptroller—Geo. B. Sloan, stalwart; Senator Davenport, halt-breed. At- torney-General—Leslie W. Ressell, probably without opposition. The permanent chairmanship of the con- vention lays between Theo Pomeroy, stalwart, and Chauncey M. Depew, half-breed. Collector Robertsou says he has no doubts of the result and adds: ‘“Wo are not fighting the ad- ministration, but the machine in this state " There was some expectation jaf first of having General Grant s gifr- manent chairman of the convention. He was asked by Jacob Hess, presi- dent of the republican association from the Twenty-first district to go as delegate from that district to the con- vention, and, after hesitating for sev- eral days as to whether he would al- low his name to be used, he declined. The Academy of Music, in which the convention is to be held, has been rented by the central committee. They pay $1,200 for the use of it for one day,and are to lease it another day if it is required. The eight hun- dred delegates and alternates will ,be seated on the main floor, The galleries will be for the public. Mr. Thomas C. Platt will call the conven- tion to order as temporary chairman of the state committee. The delega- tion from this city will be almost en- tirely stalwart. The city stalwarts are charged with planning combinations with Tammany on the city and county nominations. The name of Conkling is still talked of for a post in the cabinet, cither as secrotary of the treasury or secretarv of state. John P. Jones, the Nevada senator, who has been mentioned for secretary of the interior, says that he would not accept a cabinet position if it was tendered him. FUSION TICKET TALKED OF, MinwAUKEE, October 3.—Liberal democrats and dissatisfied republicans are talking of calling a convention and nominating a fusion ticket, to be headed by Flatt, democrat, nominee for governor; Fefield, republican, nominee for lieutenant-governor, and Col. Jacobs, for state treasurcr. The balance of the ticket to be made up equally of nominees of both parties. The movement is causing considerable uneasiness among the straight repub- licans and democrats. LING'S WOULD-BE ASSAS Urica, N. Y., October 3.—The writer of the letter smd to contain threats of assassination against Conkling has been discovered and interviewed. He is Hen- ry J. Rowley, of the Second ward, Utica, who has been a republi- can speaker, and oftered a strong Gar- field sympnthy resolution at a ward caucus which received two votes only, a more moderate resolution, offered by a stalwart, being adopted instead, Rowley says he has no particular oc- cupation, but formerly kept a hotel at Candstata, where he employed H. Johnson, not Jackson, now of No, 14 South street, New York, to whom the letfer was written, Rowley admits that the letter contains the impression of the hope that somebody would put a bullet through Conkling if he at- tempted to enter the republican state convention.

SOUTH AMERICAN NEWS. Work on the Panama Canal Pro- gressing Rapidly. Efforts Made to Induce Euro- pean Stockholders to Ad- vance a Second In- stallment. The News of Garfleld's Death Received With Universal Sorrow. Unfavorable News From Peru-- Matters Much Complicated. PANAMA, Scptember 206, via NEw Yor October 3.—Owing to the American agitation there has been a stirring up in the work on the canal, more having been done the past fort- night than in two months before. The people are getting mtorested, and ev- erything is being done to induce the European stockholders to advance a second installment subscription. M.

The Grand Central hotel, which was burned three years ago, is to be mag- nificently rebuilt and bought by the canal company. .. The news of Garfield’s death was received yesterday. It caused uni- versal sorrow. The people regarded himas a good wman, and sincerely mourn his death. The news from Peru is ominous. The provisions which the government and Chilli are trying to arrange are prevented by the turbulence of the Peruvian outlaws. The Pierola gov- ernment and the Mentonrose ace in sympathy and Chilli dare not evac- uate. Calderon has asked Chilli to withdraw her troops, hoping his gov- ernment would be upheld but the best informed jpeople besought delay in evacuation, fearing the assassination of Calderon and cabinet, and a reign of murder in the event of the with- drawal of foreign protection. Lhe terms of peace between the provin- cial government and Chilli have been all arranged, Calderon acting on one side and Senor Gody on the other. The Pierola faction have deomed it prudent to conzeal the terms for the present, although Gody has gone back to Santiago. Commander-in-Chief General Lynch, of the Chillian force, remains with alargearmy in Peru, as protector and is in constant commun- ication by cable with the home gov- nment. Matters are much compli- cated by a strong fecling of the ma- jority party in Chili to have peaco de- clared with one or the other factions, have the troops brought home and have Peru left to take care of herself the best way #ho can. The president of Chili, however, and Commander Lynch and their advisers know too well that if Peru is evacuated no terms of peace would be observed, and hence armed protection continues. The Peruvians still hope that the United States will assure her protect- orate, gather up the revenues, pledge their payment to creditors and some- how attend to their affairs and get them out of their difficulties, They never dream that they will have to cedo any torritory in payment of the loss of the war begani.by themselves, The provisionsl government now has no armed force, The large force of armed police deserted with their arms and munitions of war. Jommander Lynch discovered the desertion of those troops composing the garrison of Chorrill, He pursued them, cap- tured them and returned them to the government. Also the war material they had turned over to Pierola. Senor Galnez Calderon, minister of foreign affairs, dishking this Chilian- terference as likely to provoke the supposition among the Peruvian that cally has been no terms of co made, asked an explnation, h then eliowed Galonz that the desertion was a part of a conspiracy to renew the war; that while since signing the terms of the treaty on March 11th, General Scavelta had declared Madalena a neutral port, made a secret compact with Colonel Caconts by which both expected to gain some concessions preriously re- fused from Chili, by acting in concert; that in addition to the arms which Chili had furnished Magdalena for its }\ruu-rtiun, Pierolas sympathizers were urnishing more, both combined to be used to intimidate Chili; and that the desertion was a part of the treacher ous program, This discovery has in- censed the Chilian soldiery.

Adams County Alliance Ticket— The New Departure Correspcndence of The Bee JusiaTa, October 1.—The Adams County Farmers' Alliance held its regular meeting here to-day, W. C. Weaver in the chair, and E. C. Han- chett, secretary., Fifteen alliances were represented by about fifty dele- gates, and the proceedings were char- acterized throughout by harmony and great unanimity. Resolutions were adopted, lamenting the death of Presi- dent Garfield, pledging support to the new president, demanding a change in the administration of tho affairs of the country, and approving the declaration of prineiples prepared by a committee for that purpose. They opposed all classes and forms of monopolies; demanded that eapital bear its just proportion of taxation; pledging nnflicLermg loyal- ty to the government; demanded that u{l canals, lakes and navigable rivers be declared public highways; that there be integrity and economy in thé civil service, ete., etc. The following ticket was then unan- imously placed in nomination: W. 8. Crowe, of Denver, for county treasurer. Geo. T. Hutchinson, wood, for sheritf, Geo. F. Work, of Hastings, for county judge. L. W. Swineford, of Juniata, for county clerk. G. H. Edgerton, of Little Blue, for county commissioner. Miss Lucy A. McFadden, of Juni- ata, for county superintendent. of Cotton- J. A, Williams, of Kenesaw, for coroner, I. E. Farrell, of Hastings, for county surveyor. Mr. Edgerton and Miss Mcl'adden are on_the ticket nominated by the republican convention yesterday. Mr. Hutchison is a stalwart demo- crat, as well as alliancer, and if, as now reported, Mr. Martin, the pres- ent incumbent, runs as an’ independ- ent candidate for sheriff, thus dividing the republican vote with Mr. Wilson, the republiean nominee, Mr., H. may be elected, Judgo Work, if he enters the can- vass actively, will make warm work for Judge Smith. Mr. Crone is comparatively a new man and will hardly pluck the per- simmons from Mr, Steinan, Mr. Swineford is a capital fellow and would make a good clerk, but Mr, Tussey evidently has the inside track.

Thero is, in the first place, an abundance of~ timber for all the local wants of the country. Bulding most of the finest varicties. Limestone and , gypsum. enough to supply the world. Gold bearing rock is nct found much in leads or crevesses but in solid moun- tains, sufficiently rich to pay for mill- g and mining. Rocfi has. been found in the Bozel, Tigen and other mmnes that will yield from $50,000 to 880,000 to the ton. On the other hand, much of the rock milled by the Homestake will not, or does not, yield over $1.50 per ton These extremes open upavistaof intervening possibili- ties that must look very seductive and tempting to idle capital in the east. But as a general thing the mineral body of the country is not sensational in its developments, Capital is more easily L'il})li\'u(t‘ll by a three-inch crevice of $20,000 rock than by a mountain of quartz yielding ouly &> to the ton, while the latter would prove much the richer investment, Then we have silyer mines in vari- ous parts of the Hills in_which metal ig found native and in Galena and in all the varied salts with which it is known to form a base, such as chlor- ides, carbonates and sulpherets. Some of them, just partially developed, are enough to bear shipment to the smelting works at your city and give laxge profits in return to the ship- per and owner. The silver interests of the country are more neglected than the gold, while the machinery empluyeg in smelting and lixivating is moro costly aud complicated than that used in the production of gold bullion. There are many millions of dollars in the placers that will within the next fen years be added to the gold productions of the United States. Tuch of this will be obtained by hydraulicing as soon as the swall, wandering streams can be ‘“‘rounded up’ and subdued to the service of the miners, The introduction of artesian wells, now on the eve of being experi- mented with, will convert many pieces of placer ground into robust pro- ducers, Tn addition to the sources of under- ground wealth already mentioned, thoroe is valuable mines of mica, al- ready a source of revenue to their owners; alse, soft petroleum and coal, When we add to this a remarkable climate, tempered by the isthoned of '01, which gives our soft, balmy sche- roots, in mid-winter, and tem- pers the wind to many of us shorn lambs; and a rich and and remarkably productive soil, we have uncmn})aucd about everything the neart of man cen wish for his creative comforts and the acquirement of wealth. Sturgis City is a thriving and busi- iness place of two years standny, It is in the gateway to the hills in the Bear Butte Valloy, It is within 12 wiles of Deadwood andof Golend and one-half of Fort Meade. Tt is sur- rounded by a rich stock and_agricul- tural country, anda beautiful loca tion for a city. The silver ore from Golend is ship- ped from this point on trains to the east, It is tied up in small L00-pound sacks and in this monner it is easily handled. Other Golend mines will probably follow suit, and in less than a year may be seen having shipments frow this point east,
