Aoction of the United States Government in the Matter of Succor. Possibility That all the Crew Have Boen Found Ere This. THE JEANNETTE. Nautional Assoviated Pross, New York, December 21.—Con- erable interest was felt throughout the city last night over the report that two boats' crews of the Arctic vessel Jeannette had been saved. It was stated the boats contained twen- ty-three cf the crew and three of the ofticers—-Capt. DeLong, Surgeon Amb- ler and Elngineer Melville. - Later dispatches confirmed these state- ments and said boat No, 2 was still missing. Conners was found at his oftice in The Herald building last evening, but said he could not say anything in addition to the dispatches received by the press. Ho had hopes that boat No. 2 was mnot lost. It had started out with the other boats and there had been no heavy weather to drive it out of the regular route. The buats had been separated by & fog, and he had every confidence No. 2 would turn up. She was, in fact, only three days be- hind the others and this distance could be readily accounted for by the lesser spread of canvas, or the heavy weight in the water. A brother of Mr. Colling, the Herald correspondent who was with boat No. 2, was present during the interview and coinciced with Conners’ theory. Further advices regarding the Jean- nette state the natives found a boat containing Engineer Melville and ten of the crew of the Jean- nette on the 14th ot September at Cape Berkla, forty versts north of Cape Buckoff. All of them were in a most deplorable condition. Engineer Melville reported that the Jeannette was ripped by ice on the 11th of June in latitude 77 north, longitude 157 east; that the crew set out in three boats but the latter got separated fifty miles scuth of the Lena river, owing to stormy winds and dense fogs.

Delsing, De. Ambler and twelve survivors Rad reached the northern mouth .of the Lena river, where they remained, being unable to proceed, owing to weakness from ex- posure and starvation, many of them were 11l and had _their limbs fr ozen. The governor of Jakoutsk was at once informed by three Boulound natives of the condition of the survivors and sent a doctor, with supplies and oth- cr necessaries, with orders to reach the rest of the crew and make them comfortable. A search- ing expedition was also sent after the second boat, but noth- ing had been heard from it. The Russian government has ordered every measure to be taken for those left in the ice at the northern mouth of the Lenariver, and also for the discovery of the missing boat. Irkoursk, December 19:—The Governor of Jakoutsk writes that on September 14th, three natives of Hogananlons de Seigane at Cape Bar- hay, 140 versts north of Cape Bakof, discovered a large boat with survivors from the shipwrecked steamer, the Jeannette. Theyhad suffered greatly. The adjict, or chief of the district, was immediately charged to proceed with a doctor and medicirie 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 indentical tel- egrame, one addressed to the London oftice of the Herald, one to the secre- tary of the navy at Washington and the third to the mmister of the Uni- ted States at St. Petersburg. The poor fellows have lost everything, GOVERNMENT SUCCOR. WasmiNarox, December 21 --The secretary of the navy and the secre- tary of state this afternoon had a con- sultation regarding the question of succoring the survivors of the Jean- nette. A telegram will be sent the Russian authorities asking if any assistance in the way of food, money aud other necessaries are needed for the party. Should this be the case, the Russian government will be asked to furnish any needed supplies and the United States government will make reparation at the earliest possible mo- ment, It is not impossible an at- tempt will be made to reach them from Japan, where some United States vessels now are, and which is much nearer the party than apy other. The Rodgers is wintering in gt. Lawrence bay, and not in Hudson day, and that is & point 500 miles fran the place where the Jeannette is reported to have been wrecked. It will take seven weeks to reach the Rodgers, but as her comwander some time since sent a party to the mouth of the Colina river for news,and as the mussing boat probably landed near there, they may have heard of it. The following was sent this day to Hoffman, charge d'affaires at St. Petersburg: The president desires you to make provision for the immediate relief and return of the ofticers and men of the Jeannette. Cable promptly the'smount of credat you require and it will be OMAHA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 22, 13 provided by the secrotary of the navy and moyself. Also cable what steps can be taken by this government for the recovery of the crow of the miss ing boat. Signed “‘Secrotary.” No additional dispatches have been ‘eceived by the secrotary of state to- night in rogard to the Jeannetto. A tolegram was received from James Gordon Bennett, stating he had ordered all possible moans to bo taken to find the missing boat's crew. The secretary of state in reply forwarded a copy of the cablegram sent to Mr. Hotfman, THE HERALD ON THE RESCUE, New York, December 21, -The Herald says editomally: Happily the nows of the loss of the Jeannette has one feature in it which strikingly dif fers from the story of Arcticjealamity in general, There is definite intel- ligence that more than two-thirds of the ship's company reached land sufely, and there is fair reason to be- lievo that not a soul was lost and those not in boats Nos. 1 and 3, were in boat No. Probably the ship had been boset in the ice through the win- ter near where she was crushed, ard it was the movements of its breaking up that destroyed her. TIn duescason we shall know the result of the ex- ploration and the addition the voyage may make to our knowledge of the Arctic Sea. Further details will soon reach us. The kindly interest Rus- sia has manifested in the fate of the gallant heroes of the Jeannette and the energetic efforts she is making to restore them to the civilized world will be appreciated by every Ameri- can and 1t 18 to be hoped she will re- ceive a formal communication from the government of the United States, o More of Baldwin's Iniquity.

THE ASSASSIN, National Associated Pross, Wasiizarox, December 21.—The Guiteau trial was resumed this morn. ing with a great crowd present. The jurors were all in their places, Hobbs, whose wife died, was pale, and wept at intervals during the session. Gui- teau appeared pleased at tho extra at. tention he attracted because of his shaved faco. He had & controversy with his brother John W, because tho latter refused to go to see cortain par- ties whom the prisoner wished to con- tribute to the expenses of the trial. The cross-examination of Dr. Ham- ilton was continued by Scoville, who asked the court to exclude other ex- perts while the cross-examination pro- ceeded. Davidge objected to tho ex- clusion of the experts. The prisoner interrupted that he was willingthe ex- perts should remain, and that he had full faith in their honor and integrity Davidge--1 was just about to say that myselt. Guiteau--Then I appoint you my defonder. [Laughter. | The court declined to make the order at present, and the cross-exami- nation of Hamilton was resumed.

Pulmix, city auditor, has oonfessed himself a defaulter to the amount of $12,500, and says that he alone is at fault; that no one else had any interest in or knowledge of the matter. He has sent his resignation to the finance committee of the com- mon council and has written a con- fession, asking for speedy and quick justice. This letter he gave to War- den Johnston, in charge of the county jail, and asked him to_lock him up. He was given a seat in the office and the council sent fof.

Natiooal Associated Pross. He instanced the Mormons, who claimed inspiration to take three or four wives, Scoville questioned at great length about the witness’ belief in spiritual agencies and influences on the minds of persons, claiming that he wanted to show that insanity not always is due to physical laws. . The prosecution objeeted and de- bate folr:iwed Scoville sid that the prisoner and his father believed in a personal demon, Guiteau shouted at the top of his voice that he believed dn a personal God also, and when the pressure came eall on July 3d, introaunced him as a reporter, and then got an extended interview, in which the inspiration was used. It was wicked for Corkhill to undertake to bring a lie before the jury in this way. The witness, Dr. Worcester, hero made a littlo speech, to the offect that he was an unwilling witness, and did not testify for tho prosecution or the dofense. Ho was present bero simply to oxpress his opinion as to the con- dition of the prisoner. “1 don't think,” “that the question comes in now."” “I want to say,” interrupted Cork- hill, “that I found the witness wo- willing to testify, and I think him one of the most important witnesses in this cnse.” “Stop,” shouted Scoville, this is not the tune to address the jury, and you are not a witness in the case. The dispute botween counsel was stopped by Judge Cox, who said it was no (ime to fortify a witness. Col. Corklull said he merely de- red to show that the witness was a ant one. Heo is very reluctant. Ho is wait- ing for his monoy. Give him $500 and he will go back on you,” said Guiteau. Scovillo then began the cross-examination of the witness, got- ting him to give tho dotails of his education and experience as a doctor, Witness said he had written a work on insanity and its treatment. Guiteau chuckled and said: ‘Tt must be a very exhaustive work."” | Laughter. | “What is the title of the asked Scoville, “I cannot re.nember its exact title,” was the reply.” “Itis a book of 462 pages."” § ‘‘And you cannot remember its title?” cried Guiteau, “‘You must be a smart follow.” Witness stated that he wrote a let- ter to Scoville, unsolicited, on De- cember 2d. He had made up his mind that the prisoner was insane when the letter was written. ‘I be- lieved him insane and wrote the letter to see if 1 could be of any service to- wards the man.” Witness changed his opinion after an intetview that he had with the prisoner in the jail, and was confirmed in it by the testimony he had heard in court. Guiteau frequently interrupted the itness, 'hen the reason you have changed imur opinion is because you don't be ieve now the things you then be- lieved to be facts in tho case!” asked Scoville, ““I don't know," slowly replied the witnoss, ‘‘That was scme time ago. said Scoville, of impartiality book?” " ol point out in what respeet it was am biguous, Hoanswered : “The word inspira tion was the mainstumbling block.” “1 used the word _inspivation,” bawled Guiteau, “to indicate the in- terjection of divine influence into my You are a respiration man | Laughter. | Scoville, continuing to divect his hypothetieal case in order to draw out the witness further, the prisoner said rapidly and sneeringly as he glared savagely at Corkhiil, said @ “In view of this hypothetical case of Corkhill, or whato he ealls it, T want to say that the mere outward fact of remov- g the president would be oxactly parrallel if done on my account as if donoe by inspiration from the Deity, whether I was actuated by revenge or was sim ply tho agent of tho Deity. That is the question, and let it go before the jury. The outward fact is the same ineither caso, That's all that there is to it Witness told about meeting Charles H. Reed at a meoting of experts, who submitted threo views as to the samity or insanity of the prisoner in writing, and Reed regarded that nearly all agreed that Guitean was on the bor- der line, and it only wanted a very little more testimony to sond him over it “What do you understand by the word ‘pressurc’ as used in this case!” asked the district attorney. “‘It is simply another term for the fight going on in a man who is subject to the temptation of evil,"” was the re- sponge. “Wait a moment,” cried Scoville, a8 tho witness was about to leave the stand, “Oh, lot the man go,"” shouted Gui- teau, impationtly. *“He ought to have gone two hours ago. If T was indicted for manslaughter, Scoville would have me convieted for murder. Get off the case, Scoville. T'm not going to stand this kind of work any longer.” “No one realizes that fact more than I do, your honor,” said Scoville mournfully. “Then got off the case, you con- founded idiot,” said Guiteau, red hot with rage, ‘“‘you are compromising the case all the time.” 1 have no more to ask the witness,” said Scoville, quiotly. “Then got off the case,” bawled Guiteau agam. **Notwithstanding the blunders you have made, 1 expect ttill that the Almighty will protect me, but it will take a special ace of God to acquit mo the way Scoville has been going at it.” | Laughter. | His sister tried to calm him but he turned furiously on her and shouted: 1 no longer beliove things T then sup- posed to be facts as true as I then did.” “‘What is the good of wasting timo with him?" shouted Guiteau. *‘You are as stupid as he is, Scoville. You have compromised my case every time ou began your misorable cross-exam- ination, I won’t stand it. You are not fit to be on the case. Your egot- upon him the point was to find out whether the Deity of the demon ex- ercised it. He pi swo. .weeks, and then was convinced God wanted him to remove the president because of the political situation. Scoville read a number of intricate qnestions on insanity from paper, ane was frequently interrupted by Gui- teau, who said he wanted Chas. H. Reed, of Chicago, and Clark Mills put on the stand, and said: ““Mills want- ed to immortalize his name by taking a cast of my face, and to oblige him I took off my beard.” Witness said he did not believe in moral insanity; that wasa term used to excuse acts commited as the result of ungovernable anger and lust. Scoviile read from the pamphlet of a New York doctor an extract to the effect that many persons were verging on insanity and ordinarily passed th: degree for want of exciting causes, After a little pressing witness replied in the aflirmative and Scoville sat down. In the re-direct examination the witness said many persons may be medically insane and yet know per- fectly well the differonce between right and wrong. Dr. Hamilton then produced a dia- ram of Guiteau’s head and said the Cnicago, December 21.-—One hun- dred men employed in Henderson's boots and shoe factory, quit work this afternoon because of a reduction in pay, One of them earned only $2 40 last week, and the fastest man in the os- tablishment only 87 15, e Canning Frogs National Amociated Press, WinNereG, Manirosa, December 21.--A company has been organized here with a capital of 10,000 for pur- pose of canning and shipping frogs to eastern cities.

In the cocking main last night Ken- tucky won all five fights, defeating New York and killing one bird. eft 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 prosccution, Witness said he 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 he had no doubt of Guiteau’s insanity. Col. Corkhill then read a f:mg hypothetical case, going over the rominent details of the prisoner’ ife up to his incarceration in jail after the assassination. ‘‘Assumin, all these propositions be true,” ask the district attorney, ‘‘state whether in your opinion the prisoner at the bar was sano or insane at the time of the shooting of President Garfield.” “In my opinion the man was sane,” ‘‘Oh,"” sneered Guiteau, ‘‘you ex- pect to got five hundred dollars for that opinion.” Another long hypothetical case, dealingmainly with the assassin’s moral obliqujities, was then read, the pris- oner interjecting his usual cries of ‘‘False,” “‘It's a lie,” and crying about his divorce inspiration, Witness' answer to this was the same—that the prisoner was sane. The prisoner got excited when the date of the 1nspiration theory was fixed at several weeks after the shoot- ing and declared that he used the term to Mr. Nordhoff, of The New York Herald, on July 3d. He was gesticulating wildly on this subject when the court rose for a recess, When court resumed the number of spectators had senmbly diminished, the inclemency of the weather keep- ing many afternoon visitors at home. The prisoner looked fierce when he came in; his looks did not belie him. As 8001 as the manacles were removed he vociferated against Corkhill trying to make it appear the inspiration theory was not thought of until wooks after the 2d of July, The dis- trict attorney brought & man to his ism and vanity have kept eminent counsel from undertaking my defense. ‘Your businessisexaminingabstracts of title and 1 won'tshave you comprom- sing my life, which is exactly what you're doing by yourblundering ways. That 18 the truth.” He concluded Dr. Worcester was further asked if he believed it probable that a man could be dominated by a religious de- lusion to the extent that he would lose the power to control his actions and replied that he did. Laying hands upon the sick with the expectation that the act would restore them to health was an indication of insanity. The prisoner again hocame worked up with rage as this line was con- tinued. He turned to Scoville fierce- ly: *“You have not the ordinary wit of a school hoy. I would rather manage the case myself than have such a con- summate fool on at. [Laughter.] Send in your bill to Corkhill and go home. You seem to be working for | the government, [Loud laughter, in which the court joined.] You talk and talk and don't hit anything,” Witness admitted writing a postal card to Scoville early in the trial, reading as follows: ‘‘Accept my con- gratulations on the manner in which you have thus far conducted the de- fense. 1t may not be peculiar, but it in right and just.” Guiteau became rampant again, He glared firccly at his counsel, and shouted at tho top of his vq is an outrage on justice that Scoville should compromise me in this way, and I request him publicly to get out, 1f 1 had John D. Townsend or Charles H. Reed, we could get along quite nicely. Scoville has no wit and no sense, and between him d| with a vigorous thug on the table. “You shut up.

The prisoner did not want to mfit the gloves.on the ground that he had no overcoat, in the pockets of which he could carry them. ““I very seldom wear an overcoat,” said Guiteau. “I wouldn’t wear one if I was worth & million dollars,” This course of oxamination heing persisted in, the prisoner made an- other furious attack on Scoville, urg- ing him to get off the case if he wanted to spare his hife. The Logansport witness who testi- fied to seeing Guitean in that town selling the “‘Life of Moody,” was re- called by the prosecution, and pro- duced two copies of the work said to have beon sold by the prisoner at the time. On the fly leaf of one the words “Chas. J. Guiteau, Chicago, IlL,” were written faintly in pencil, 80 faintly that it almost required a mwrnlcn?‘n to see them.

Guiteau had walked to- wards the table of the prosecuting counsel and had been on his feet longer and further out of the line of his guard than at any period during the trial. The cracking of a nut by some one in the audience caused him o start back hurriedly and he sank into his seat. No heed was paid to his demand that the jury should then and there pass judgment upon the signature, Court then adjourned until to-mor- d Corkhill I am having a very hard timo."” The peal of laughter which followed the remark pleased tho assassinmuch. He laughed aloud and said: “Iam the best natured 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 he wrote to Scoville, which he did as follows: T wrote telling Scoville of the opinion 1 had formerly in regard to the sanit, or insanity of the prisoner, and that thought it would be more to the cred- it unfi good name of the American people if the killing of the president was the act of an insane man rather than that ( a criminal or diup?ointod oftice sceker. 1 do not think I used the last few words, but that was my idea, I also told my qualifications for forming an opinion and the exper- ience 1 hmlT; that T had no desire tor notoriety, and asked 1f 1 could be of any service, I think I added that I knew it was an unpopular view of the case to take. ““I'hat’s all," said Scoville, In reply to Davidge, the witness said he had changed his opinion after his examination of Guitcau, “Why did you refuse to give an opinion. on_ the hypothetical case?” asked Davidge. “‘Because it was ambiguous,” the response.
