The New Columbia.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The statement
that the WIangle land, recently taken
possession of by the United States gov
ernment, as part of the dominion of
Canada, is not considered accurate by
government officials, since the eolors of
the dominion have never been raised
upon the land. Maj. Clarke, of the
revenue marine bureau. to-day received
a private letter from Capt. Hooper, in
which it is suggested that the new pos
session be named New Columbia. This
name is thought to be very appropriate
and viii probably be adopted by the
government. Capt. Hooper has not yet
seen any traces of the Jeannette. Capt.
Hooper adds: This has been a most
open season, and if the Jeanette does
not show herself this year, the vessel
will not in all human probability be seen
again, although it is possible the crew
may. Whalers are all positive that she
entered what they call "the hole," a
lead to the northeast

The Oneida and Oswcgo Delegates.
New York, Oct. 5.-Secretary john
son, Of the republican state committee,
was unable to say this evening which
set of delegates from the contested dis
tricts, Oneida and Oswego, would be
placed on the roll. Doubtless it.would
be presented to the state committee at
its meeting in the morning and a de-
cis;on would then be made. There was
some talk this afternoon that both sets
of delegates from these counties would
be allowed to 60 on the roll, and the
question of deciding between them
would be left to the convention.
The opinion is entertained by a con-
siderable number Of stalwarts and anti
stalwarts that the state committee will
consult the wishes Of the anti-stalwart
majority and name man for temporary
chairman who will be acceptable to the
convention. If this action shall be
taken the stalwarts who are IN sym
pathy in the state committee will con-
cede the control of the convention
without bringing 1t to u test vote. AS
soon as the committees are appointed
the convention will take recess till
some hour in the eevening or adjourn till
Thursday morning. tits probable that

Washington, Oct. 5.-The counsel
for the accused star route conspirators
will tomorrow move TO vacate the or
der granted to-day, requiring two days
notice to the prosecution before the
hearing Of the motion to quash the in
formation filed on Friday. This will
be denied, and Brady, French, Turner,
and the rest, will appear and offer bail.
The penalty, upon conviction, for con-
spring to defraud the government, is
fixed at two years imprisonment, or
$4,000 fine, or both. The maximum
fine will probably be the measure Of
bail required, which will be readily fur
nished by each of the accused.
Judge Cox thought that this was not
a case which called for large bail. He
said he had not read the information,
but would do so, and fix the bail to-
morrow. The mass of the audience
sympathized with the accused, and
smiled at the sallies of their counsel.
The sentiment of the district does not
run against the star route fraud, appar-
ently

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Malone Advises Gorham to Seek the
Office of Public Printer.
The Star Route Cases-Cuiteau and
His Forthcoming Trial.


New York, Oct. SIT is expectet
that one of the first officials TO be de
capitated by President Arthur, will bs
Public Printer Defrees, and there Ii
reason to believe that Geo. c. Gorhan
has designs upon the office. A gentle
man who is close. to Malone is authority
for saying that during Mahone's visit
here last week, he frankly advised Cor
ham to abandon the hopeless struggle
for the secretaryship of the senate and
turn his eyes in direction In which
lay a chance for substantial benefit.
Malone is credited with having uged
upon Gorham that by no possibility
could he ever attain the secretaryship,
as the solid democratic vote would be
unalterably against him, to BAY nothing
of the republican disafiection, whereas
there wasa chance of confirmation by
the senate, could the president be pre-
vailed upon to nominate him for the
office of public printer.
Gorham's paper seems, accordingly,
to have began the campaign against
Defrees, who is open to attack on all
sides for repeated indiscretions Of the
tongue and pen against the stalwarts.
To-day, under the form of communi-
cation, the Republican demands that
Defrees ''stand up and answer several
sharp inquiries" Among them. low
long is it since you quit calling Grant
a drunken sot?
What reasons did you give in 1872
and since then for opposing Grants re-
election, and has time changed your
opinion on that subjectp
How long is it since you ceased abus-
ing President Arthur.
Out of large number Of employees
in your Office appointed from West Vir-
ginia. how many are republicans?
How long is it since you thought
that d. corrupt stalwart element in
the party should be crushedp
How much time have you spent in
the printing Office. since your appoint
ment and for how much Of the time
while rusticating at Berkley Springs,
abusing Conkling, Grant and Arthur,
did you draw your payP The alleged
correspondent kindly adds to the list of
inquiries that he will furnish replies
should Defree's memory fail him. An
editorial paragraph calls attention to
the communication. If Gorham has
personal interest in the matter attri-
buted to him, spicy developments may
be looked for.

New York, Oct. 5.-Conkling's alter
nate, II. d. Pixley, is here. and is said
to hold both Conkling's credentials and
certificate of substitution from the ex-
senator. Pixley is Wholesale dry
goods merchant in Utica. He is warm
friend Of the ex-senator, and jealous
worker at primaries, but he has never
yentured far on broader field of state
politics. An opinion prevails among
the delegates generally that the con-
tests in Oneida and Oswego counties
will be brought before the commit
tee on contested seats, with earnest
ness on part of the stalwart contestants,
as if majority of the convention was
not adverse to their admission. The
committee will be aided in its work by
the adjudication that was had at the
judiciary convention at Syracuse. The
anti-stalwart delegates and their friends
held conference at three O'Clock this
afternoon in Senator Miller's room in
the Fifth avenue hotel. 1t was largely
attended, and a free interchange of
views respecting the cause to be pur-
sued by a majority Of the convention
was had.
The Tribune says: Garfield republi-
cans are willing to concede one-half OF
the ticket to the Conkling men, and
let them make their own choice for
these positions. There is a division of
opinion among both ..fations about the
wisdom of having an entirely new
ticket.

pressed from the highest to the lowest

New York, Oct. 5.-The Herald,s
Washington special says: Guiteau,
whose cell overlooks the eastern branch.
is now being treated for malaria, and
quinine is administered in large doses.
The wretch reluctantly takes the
powders, fearing that some subtle Of
poison may be incorporated with the
medicine and his life taken by the hid
den drug. He is too anxious to live, 80
the guard says, to attempt his own life,
neither does he want to die by the act
Of physician any more than by the act
of a hangman. He has neryously put
aside several Of the powders prescribed
and said he could take them when he
felt like it. The jail guards say he is
the most cowardly crimial that ever
lived. He fears his own shadow, and
when taken to the bath room, a short
distance from his cell, insists on the
guard covering him SO that if there is
among the soldiers on duty on the ro-
tunda another Sergeant Mason, he will
have to fire through the escort to reach
Guiteau. He is still confident that his
brother-in-law's defense will acquit
him.
Scoville is expected tomorrow. His
line Of defense will consist mainly in
offering evidence to show that he comes
from q family in which hereditary
insanity has been conspicuous for many
years. Who will be associated with
Scoville is mot now known, but it Is
feared by the government that some
disinterested lawyers will be accepted
who will present all kinds of questions
for the consideration of the court ani
in this way embarrass the prosecution
compelling the consideration of the Law
Of the Jurisdiction, of the right to prac
tice on the part of the presidents sur.
geons and several other importan
points, consuming time and putting tn
government to great expense in sum
moning witnesses from abroad.

Particulars of the Dragon Mountain
Fight.

Fight.
San Francisco, Oct. ga Tombstone
dispatch from. party just returned
from the south pass of the Dragon
mountains gives the particulars of yes
terday's battle as learned. Col. Bernard
came up with the Indians between four
and five O'Clock Tuesday afternoon near
Cochise stronghold, the Indians going
into camp. The Indians numbered one
hundred men besides the women and
children. Bernard attacked the In
dians who made fight. the women and
children driving their animals up the
side of the mountain, the Indians
fighting the troops back along the foot.
The Indians then struck directly over
the top of the mountain, the troops
following them ur to the south pass
when the Indians got on the west side
and darkness put an end to the pur-
suit. The Indians and animals were
all badly tagged out, and the soldiers
who came from Wilcox are in the same
condition. This morning Lieut. Bayley
with forty or fifty scouts struck the
trail about six miles east of Tombstone.
The Indians are making for the west
end of the Mule mountains, and proba-
bly, for the San Jose mountains in So
nora. One Indian is known to be killed,
and three colored soldiers are wounded;
one Indian girl about eight years old
was taken prisoner, she was richly
dressed and is supposed to be chiefs
daughter. Col. Bernard sent into
Tombstone for supplies.
