GUITEAU.
His Trial Begins To-Day.
PROBABLE COURSE OF THE DEFENCE
OUTLINED.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The trial of Gui-
teau will begin here tomorrow in the Crimi-
nal Court A host of witnesses has been sum-
moned on both sides. Arrangements have
been perfected to seat all spectators allowed in
the court room, and no lounging will be per-
mitted either In the aisles or about the corri-
doris John W.,Guiteau, of Boston, and his
sister, Mrs Scoville, visited their brother at
the Jail here this afternoon. The interview
lasted nearly two hours. The prisoner betrayed
no unusual emotion at the meeting and after
exchanging salutations began the recital of the
old story as to the course which prompted him
to commit the crime with which he is charged.
He expressed no regret whatever for his action
but reiterated his previous story about being
sinspired by God," etc. Mr.. Scoville, Gui-
teaus counsel, stated this evening that his
client insisted that it should be his prerogative
to make statement in court tomorrow, and
that Guiteau has been engaged for the past ten
days in preparing document setting forth his
views, which he will probably present as soon
as the court opens tomorrow unless prevented
by Judge Cox Mr.. Scoville said tonight that
it was not the intention of the counsel for the
defence to introduce technical objections in So
lecting jury. They will endeavor to obtain
jury composed of men capable OF rendering
fair verdict after hearing the evidence and
who will not be carried away by public clamor
against their convictions.
The preparations for the Quite au trial have
begun in the Criminal Court room. Rough
board seats are being constructed In the space
outside the bar, where hitherto there has been
only standing room. Guiteau asked the Depu-
ty Marshal last night what preparations were
making, and seemed to be especially anxious
to be brought to court in good style and to be
conveyed safely. Capt. Williams. the Chief
Deputy, informed him that he would be taken
from the Jail to the Court House in safety, but
declined to tell him in what manner. He
probably will be taken as he was before. in a
private carriage, so as not to attract the atten-
tion of the crowd. There, however, does not
appear to be any disposition towards violence.
Guiteau has not the fear of being shot that
he had at the time he wss arraigned, and he
has lately gained flesh. The Government
medical experts who have been here to exam
inc him as to his insanity have concluded their
examinations.

Attack on American Institutions,
LONDON, Nov. 12.-The Pail Mall Gazette
devotes q leader to refuting recent article of
the ST. James Gazette which deprecated dis
plays of sympathy between England and the
United States and made vigorous attack on
American institutions and ideals of life as
tending to produce bad level Of mediocrity.
The Pail Mall Gazette in reply points to the
fact that the farmers rightly and necessarily
outnumber the scholars in snew country as q
sufficient answer to the charge. 1t points to
historianssu such as Motley and Prescott, poets
such as Longfellow and others, to the
profoundest and most original essayists, be-
sides humorists and novelists, who have OBJ
tanned popularity here as we'll as in their own
country, all produced within a century in
new county, with no capital, in the European
sense Of the word, and where literary produc-
tion is necessarily confined to a few places.

MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IA.

the poets all the more for their courage, and
especially for their generosity in giving so
much of what is so little required. with a
garden of roses to listen, it is grudging night
ingale" says the Eastern satirst "who will
not sing: but he is a generous songster indeed
who viii pine to the sands of Sahara" "Ce
Qui fait que nous ayons des poetes, c'est que
nous pouvons nous en- passer," Joubert oug b
to have said, for clearly the better we can do
without poets the more poets we have and the
more abundant are their songs.
But is 1t really true that we can do without
them? We believe that more searching in
quiry into this matter would show that in this
country at least, where the passion for the oths
er fine arts is quite exotic, the popular passion
for poetry is the genuine passion. and though
il will at times yield to other influences-such
as those induced by sudden outbursts of scien-
ti6c discovery, or by fashionable mimicries of
foreign taste, or by commercial and speculative
crazes or by tide of martial enthusiasm--ls
really undying; and sure sign of this Is the
fact that poetic genius cannot be sllenced Dy
the temporary coldness of the public ear, but
will express itself whether it finds listeners or
not This is what gives special interest to
the fact that two such volumes as those OF Mr..
Tennyson and Mr.. Rossetti have appeared al
most simultaneously at period when poetry is
said 20 be an unmarketable commodity. For
variety OF poetical gifts-for imagination, for
pathos, for humor, and for music-Mr. Tenny-
sons latest volume can only be characterized
rs MdfNtiOuS, anu D6lOT6 We nave CodS6u WOu-
dering at it, and long before we have been able
TO do it full justice. we get this volume from
Mr.. Rossetti which, if not so absolutely vari-
GUS as Mr.. Tennyson's, inasmuch as humor is
not attempted. is certainly as rich in poetic
beauties, and even more phenomenal as pro-
duct of time such as ours; for the supernatu-
raj element of poetry (as fundamental an ele-
ment as the humorous, and much rarer in
modern times) finds here an expression as gen.
uine, as unadulterated with the self-conscious
had been written in the time of Shakespeare or
even in the time of Roger Bacon. Here, per-
hsps, is Mr.. Rossetti's distinctive and most
prominent place in the literature of our time
What other people try to do and fail to do
give poetic embodiment to the "eerie'' mood
OF Nature as she lies dreaming of mans desti-
ny-Mr. Rossetti does with so much apparent
ease that he scarcely seems to try at all. That
his sister, however, shouldsshow much of the
same peculiar gift was perhaps to be expected.
