WasHiNeToN, January 4.—Fifty- one senators were present at the open- ing of the session to-day. A number of executive communica- tions were laid before the senate and numerous petitions were presented for legislation regarding inter-state com- merce and for increased pay to the life saving service, which were re- feared to appropriate committees. The number of petitions occupied the time of the senate for throe-quarters of an oour. On motion of Mr. Garland the finance committee was directed to inquire into the exprdiency of paying the fees under trade mark legislation which has been declared unconstitu- tional by the supreme court. At the expiration of the morning hour, their being no special order, the calendar was called and at the request of senators a number of bills were passed over and at 1:05, on motion of Mr. Allison, the senate adjourned. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOU! After the reading of the journal Mr Orth rose to a question of privi- lege, stating he had been a member of the house for twelve years and thougnt he was entitled to greater recognition than had been paid him by the speaker in committee appointments, and desired to be excused from the commiittee on rules, which was grant- ed. He entered a protest against this one man power way of selecting com- mittees. Bills were introduced as followa: By Mr. Joyce, requiring manufac- turers of oleomargarine butter to label it according to its character. By Mr. Gibson, to amend the rules 8o that the committee on Mississippi levees may originate appropriations for all works and improvements of the river without reference to the appro- priations committee. Referred. Mr. Hewitt (N.Y.) introduced a vesolution of thauks to the khedive of Egypt for the presentation to the United States of the obelisk, Cleopa- tra’s Needle. Passed. Mr. McLare raised apoint of or- der as to the right to introduce bills through petitions. A warm discus- sionJ ensued, sharply participated in by Messrs. McLane, Robeson, Kelly, Randall, Singleton, Kasson, Cobb and Haskell. The discussion closed by the chair stating the only method to get a bill before the house was to pro- sent it only. Before adjourring the speaker stated that he had no reply to made to Mr. Orth’s charges, but that it must not be inferred because the chair did not challenge any of the statements charging him with injustice, that he acquiesced in the views of Mr. Orth. The house then at 1:40 p. m. ad- journed till Monday, GUITEAU. National Associated Press. TO (0 TO THE JURY WEDNESDAY.

His brother acknowledges his signature to the voucher of file, but has no recol- lection as to any charge being 1ande and does not recognize the hand- writing in the body of the voucher. Several witnesses were examined as to the ~operations of the cabinet shop, where it is as- serted considerable leakage occurred. The Chicago Board of Trade. National Associated Pross, Cuicaco, January 5.—At the an- nual meeting of the board of trade to be held a week from next Monday a proposition of & most important char- acter will probably be submitted. The matter is now pnder consideration by the board of directors and will be acted upon at the earliestopportunity. The measure isvery closely connected with thebuilding scheme. The board of trade now finds itself with asurplus of $175,000, or $200,000 over and above, the reserve w‘}xfx it is allowed by chartaf &o control, and it has been suggested that this amount be inyested in building bonds, and the bonds divided equally among the members of the board. In other words, it is proposed to utilize this surplus by declaring a stock dividend of the new build- ing. It WAS the original intention that the board of trade should invest 50,000 or £100,000 in the new house and that the balance of the money required be subscribed by the members individually. By this new plan the board will be enabled virtually to invest £250,000 or $300,- 000 anducorrespondingsmaller amount will be required of the members, All the details of the plan have not yet been divulged, but at the next meot- ing of the board of directors the sub- ject will be discussed, and if it bo fa- vorably regarded by a majority of the members, a report embodying the idea will probably be issued.

When the Mountain Girl reached Ashland the wmob left her for the purpose of taking 4 train to head off the Mountain Boy at the nearest point below here. AsHLAND, January b.—Over 2,000 people gathered at the Ashland wharf to sve the prisonera brought off, but they were out of sight down the river before the people were aware of the situation, The crowd was indignant that the trial was thus postponed and a committee was prisoners dintely.

TheMurdrer's FriendsAbandon All Hope, Thinking Guitean Will bo Summarily Hanged. “I think,” said District Attorney Corkhill to-night, ‘‘that the case will 4o to the jury this week and that a verdict of guilty will be rendered by them before next week. I do not think that Judge Cox, or any other judge would, on the facts that can be Lid before him, grant a now trial to the miserable wretch, and I do not think there is anything in the case for the court in banc to review, and I think the case against the assassin is 80 strong that the jury will not need much time in which to make up their minds, and think the after proceed- ings will be short and sharp. There will be, rest assured, no unnecessary delay.” Mr. Davidge said: “It is n complete break downon the part of the defence. Did you ever seo suck a weak defense and such a strong case for the prosecution in any criminal case? Tt is marvelous. We have been greeted with surprises al- most every day throughout the trial. We were informed in mysterious an- nouncements through the press before the trial of the wonderful strength of the defense. We have seen day by day nothing save the unfolding of its wonderful weakness. It is atan end now, and there will be nothing more worth talking about. We shall have the speeches (presumably one from the assassin, since he wants to speak and his friends do not deny him any- thing he wants), the charge and the verdict are following closely upon the heels of the other. I think the ques- tion of jurisdiction will be raised, but there is nothing in that, I have ex- amined 1t very carefully, and that is my deliberate judgment. It was founded on a very narrow tie, and not well founded on that. I find asl grow older that the tendency of the law is to narrow rather than enlarge a man. He becames in many cases a squibbier, This point in the juris- diction was the creation of such an one. It will not impede the march of justice.” ‘“rHE END OF THE said Judge Porter.

You know that we have proved him a sane and responsible murdere do not entertain any doubt that the jury will convict, and convict under instructions from the court.

He knows that Reed and Scoville believe the case almost hopeless. Only Guiteau himself has even the semblance of hope.

Ho usked who was there, and on hear- ing Dundon’s v¢ he opened the door, when the old man walked in, and without saying a word walked up to the stove. He was a ghastly spec- tacle, being covered with the blood of his murdered wife. Turning to Shoun, he said: ‘‘I've got some bad news to tell you.” Shoun, excited and hor- rified by the appearance of the old man, shouted: “'Spit it out old man; what under heaven has happened; you Dundon replied: ““The old woman is dead;” and then for the first time sevmed to know that there was any blood upon him, for he started and turned deathly pale. A posse was soon organized and the old man was placed under guard, while the others went to the scene of the murder. Here a sickening sight presented itself, The old lady lay in a pool of blood with her head apparently beaten to a jelly.

Dundon was taken be- fore Justice Hall, whero ho waived oxamination and was lodged in jail Since the arrival of John Marr, who ‘wont to the |scene of the tragedy with a son of the murdered woman, o Pioncer ro- porter gathered the following facts in regard to the statemant of the dread- ful affair as made by the murderor: “On Sunday I went to Big Shoun's and ot two bottles o whisky and nned goods. | went home it to the old woman at the doory and then T went and put out the pony. T went to the house and stayed around awhile, and then 1 went out to look after some cattlo, and when T came back the old woman was dead.” Those to whom he told the story, said, “That's too thin.” Ho thon gave another version.

Tt must be remem d, however, that on several days children wore admitted at 25 cents, and that in many cases schools and colleges woropassed inat these reduced ratos and that overy day during the exposition hundreds of “children were carried in through the gates by their parents without paying for them at all. Thero must be added to this a large number complimentary tickets, of tickets to employes and exhibitors, of which it is said there were over five thousand issued, and invitatious for tho opening and closing exercises and for special days during the three months. 1t is safe to sy, we think, that a quarter of a million people wit- nessod the cotton exposition. Outsido of these three points, how- over, the exposition dida vast amount of good in the direction of improved agriculture throughout the south. The amount of sales made of improved machinery was simply marvelous. The exhibitors all agreo that they never saw a better selling expo- sition. There is scarcely a neighbor- hood in the southern states into which an_ improved stump-puller, post.hole borer, plow, cotton planter, manure distributor, sulky plow, cultivator or barrow has not gone, and which when introduced will induce the purchase of others. The bencfits which will come from the sale of improved ma- chinery may be accounted among the very best benelits to be derived from the exposition.
