The Foreign Questions to bo Settled.


Special Dispatch to the IntellgenCer,
WASHINGTON, December 23.-The Criiit
says tonight; 1t having been Tunored
that the letter now displayed in photo
graphic form by DR., BoyntOn, and indorsed
by Mrs, Garfield, stating that he (Dr, Boyn'
toni was requested by the late President to
take charge Of his case, was forgery, u
Critic reporter to-day called upon DR.,
Bliss for his opinion, DR.. Bliss said he did
not desire, at this time, TO say anything
further upon the subject; that the wrangle
seemed to be at stand still and he hoped it
wouldremain so. He,however reiterated the
statement he made in the Critics interview
recently, that he did not believe Mrs. Gar
field had indorsed DIR. Boynton's statement,
and Il she had she did not know to what
she was certifying DIR, Bliss says the peo-
pie will have the matter explained to them
in short time,
on THE OTHER HAND.
It is u fact to be noted in tho meantime,
that rs lar US this particular letter Is con-
cerned Of which the Critic speaks, there Is
no reason to believe that it is not genuine;
for DR., Boynton made in substance the
same statement MS Is contained therein to
your correspondent in August last, one
evening, in little attic room attached to
the corridor Of the White House. and again
in September, about ten days before the
death Of the President, in the little summer
house on the beach to theleft OF Francklyn
cottage.
The story was told merely as an incident
Of the illness, and was brought up u sec
ond time by DR.. Bliss dismissal Of tho
attendant physicians, Reyburn, Woodward

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Droctor Henry P. Stearns, Superintend
ent OF the Hartford Retreat for The
Insane, was the next witness, From
800 to 1000 cases Of insanity had
come under his supervision during the
eight years he has been connected with the
"Retreat-" The witness had made four ex'
aminations at the jail in relation TO physical
and mental condition,
Guiteau interrupted, saying: "You came
to me, Doctor, as friend, and !, supposing
you were going to testify for the defence,
talked very freely with you about my re.
ligious feelings and all about myself,
but Corkhill's money was too much for
you. want to say here that don't pre-.
tend that am any more insane at this
minute than Davidge isl don't want to
say Corkhill, for think he is cracked
[laughterl but rest my case right on the
claim that | was insane on the ID OF July,
when my inspiration and the state OF my
mind impelled me upon the President, 10
make 1t short, that's all there is to it,
don't care what these experts say about
my sanity now, that's got nothing to do
with it"S
Witness detailed at great length the re-
suits Of his examinations and interviews
with Guiteau,
Pending the cross.examination the Court
adjourned until tomorrow.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, December 23-Christmas week
has proven n disappointment to the busi-
ness men because Of the dreaty weather
that hus accompanied itand has materially
decreased their business. not only locally
but in the entire northwest. There was il
little clearing up to-day, and In the city
there was crush which has seldom been
equaled, ofbargain hunters and sight seors.
Tue throngS at every store and and on the
thoroughtarcs were buying liberally to
make up for their scanty purchases earlier
in the season. The falling Off In business
bus, OF course, materially decreased the
Clearings which only amounted, during
the five days, TO S35,000,0O0. Tomorrow
and Monday will be holidays, so far rs the
banks aud Exchanges are concerned.
Money Is pretty brisk at Gas per cent.
Eastern exchange 81 76a4 80. Collections
fair and less currency going to the country.
The jObhing trade shows few changes VI
interest Cotton and leading staple dry
goods are In good demand. Fancy and
holiday goohs arc oi course the chief attrdC.
ton, and dealers who have very heavy
stocks predict much better trade. The
weather Is clearing up and the roads are
becoming better. Woolens are firmly held.
Domestic cOttons nre stiff, with Il few nd.
yanCes but no very general ntlly in prices.
All other articles arc merely steady.
On Change the markets have ruled
rather quiet. Wheat was confined
to much smaller range than rsual and
small scalping trade was about all TINT
was done. Prices were a trife easier the
closing days OF the week. Corn WIS even
steadier than wheat, the nuctuation being
confined 10 | Of cent during the week.
Oats were rather firm but did not advance
much iOr the options, and cash was weak
and easy. Provisions were more active

DELAWARE is fortunate this year.
While other States are laboring in the
throes of fierce political contests,
Delaware goes quietly along attending
to everything but politics. and in COM
sequence enjoying peaceful, pros
porous existence. There was not
even municipal election in Whining
ton this fall, to distract business and
engender bitter fight for the Mayor
atty. Next year the general election
will take place, when the people will
be required to elect State officers and
Congressman, and the city election in
June will simply be prelude to the
great contest in November. Mean
while the people quietly pursue their
usual avocations, and feel thankful
that they were not required last
month TO check the wheels of industry,
disturb business and work themselves
into fever passion over the question,
who should be Mayor for the next
three years.

The Advance in Morocco Leather

The firmness in moroccos reported
during the last two weeks continues
without abatement, and had been the
means OF bringing increased inquiries
from ali parts OF the country. large
contracts for.fnture delivery were refused
unless the buyers paid the rise of one
cent per foot. AT Wilmington and Phil
adelphia this advance has been obtained
without any trouble for the better and
medium grades of brush kinds, which
nave been, scarce with demand In
excess OF the supplies.
The short supplies of desirable skins
and the rapid and persistent rise in raw
stock, amounting to % per cent. or at
the lowest calculation three cents per
foot, has, through necessity, brought
about this change. Unless manufactur-
ers secure higher figures for finished
moroccos, The future of the morocco
lfade ~ not the brightest. Already there
IS some talk of reducing the working
ioices, and few of the larger factories
In Philadelphia have done so, while in
Wilmington there is prospect of like
result. This course is to be pursued
until there is all equalization in values

A WONDERFUL CHANGE.-The i'm
migrant that now comes to America
has much more pleasant prospect on
his arrival than immigrants had half
century age. Then ships came to the
wharves Of this city and Immigrants
were sold under the hammer to the
highest bidder for what they would
bring and the cash paid over to the
captain to satisfy the cost of the pas
sage, the immigrant binding himself
to 60 with his purchaser and work for
him until he refunded the AMOUNT
He was struck down to the man who
would take the shortest period for the
sum named. But few persons are
now living that remember this; but it
10 true nevertheless. Now immigrants
come in ships that would make a
dozen of the ships of those days and
require but eight days instead of three
months to cross the Atlantic.

The Uses orFaIIen Leaves

Leaves have to be gathered up.
They are excellent to mix with hot
bed material, and where practicable,
should be saved for this purpose
They do not heat so rapidly as stable
manure, and in this have an advans
tage, as tempering the violence makes
the manure last longer and maintain a
more regular heat. They are excellent
material to put Tourd cold frames to
protect half-hardy plants. A board is
put up to the height of the frame
boards, and about foot or more from
them, and the leaves in between. If
the plants are somewhat tender, the
bottom of the frames may be filed a
few feet with leaves. These leaves.
after having been two or three years
decaying make admirable stuff for
plants or flowers generally.

The Jews and Palestine.

The Interest with which prominent rep
resentatives of the Jewish race are regard
ing the movement to establish large set
Elements OF their ill-faring brethren Of
Europe in Palestine says the New York
Sun continues to grow, and is assuming
practical shape. The project Of the
removal of part OF the race to its old
home in the East finds favor, entirely
apart from any religious considerations,
because it promises to be a means of
relief from i'll usage. Religious senti-
ment and belief would alone win the
favor of orthodox Jews for it, but very
many look upon it with approval now
who on principle would be opposed to
colonization in Palestine as a religious
movement.
Influential Hebrew journals, the old
and learned Hammagid, the Berlin
Judische Presse, and the Habdzaleth of
Jerusalem, have been especially earnest
in advocating the idea. Strong appeals
to the Jews of Russia, Roumania and
Germany are also made by the "Mei-
jasde Hayeschew, an association which
has purchased large plot OF ground
near Jaifa, and which represents the
climate of the country as healthy, the
land fertile, and the Arabs not so
troublesome as they have been reported.
A successful colony of Protestant Chris
tians from Wurtemberg, that is settled
there, is polnted to as proof of the truth
of these representations.
Nor do we hear only of argument and
advice. Practical staps appear TO have
been taken by wealthy and influential
citizens of Germany and England, who
have applied to the Sultan for a grant oil
land IN Syria, and who propose to con-
struct roads aud railways and 10 estab-
lish colonies around the stations. Any
profits which may be realized beyond
what are necessary to the success of the
project are TO be paid to the Turkish
Government. This proposal is said tc
be viewed fayorably by the Sultan,
Ministers. The Jews of Constantinop le
are also said to have drawn up mem.
oral to tie Porte on the subject.
The fact canuot be disguised that this
project is encompassed by difficulties
An unruly surrounding population, q
seanty water supply, the lack of an or
derly government and of wise and well
executed laws, must be faced; yet, will
the influence that the prominent lie
brews of the world can command, tn
resources that they can supply, an
possibly with some for OF foreign protec
toraie, these obstacles can be overcome
and the land that once was described a
flowing with milk and honey can b
made TO bloom and prosper again. A
all events, it is certain that no 9th,
held Is open to colonization on lars
scale that offers better conditions.
