by the Merchants Club, and referring to
the administration OF President Arthur,
said those who had judged unkindly Of the

Nation,
When the Secretary had ended the com.
pany rose and gave three enthusiastic

CHICAGO, November l2.-Receipts for the

600 barrels; wheat, 2l3OOO bushels; corn,
100000 bushels; oats, 10000 bushels.
Shipments; Flour, ,B0,0OO barrels; wheat,

oats, $4,000 bushels. Shipments: Flour,
$4,000 bushels; wheat, JOS,O0O bushels;
corn, 2,255,000 bushels; oats, 4SO,0OO bush.
els. The receipts OF flour are comparatively
small, which isaccounted for by tho fact that
millers at interior points have great diff.
Guilty In getting good milling wheat. Wheat
receipts fall far short OF those OF year ago,
but corn comes In more freely, while oats
are u little less plenty. The shipments
keep pretty even pace with receipts, but
slightly exceed them In the aggregate, al.
though falling below last years record Of
shipments There were received at United
States yards 10000 hogs against 100000
the previous week, and 100000 last year.
Tho impression Is growing, and has good
basis, that packing operations will be on
much smaller scale than those Of 1S70.'SO,
or Of 1SS0-'Sl.

The Principals In the ARair Hiding from
the Police.

... the Police.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November IA desper-
ate prize fight, which was kept very quiet
for fear Of ofpolice interference during the
fight, or arrests after the affair was over,
occurred yesterday near East st. Louis, Ills,
between Joseph O'Ncal, Of vandalia, ILL.,,
and Billy Lynch, Of East st. Louis. The
stakes were not high but as the bitterest
feeling has long existed between them, the
fight was brutal one. There was very
little science displayed at any time
during the fight. II was simply a slogging
match In which each tried to beat his OPP
ponent by brute force in fierce sledge-
hammer blows. Neither showed symp-
toms Of weakening up to the sixth round,
when 1t became evident that Lynch was
getting the best Of 1t, and II became only a
question Of how long the Yandalla man
could take his punishment. 0'Neil's blows
were nearly all half arm, and failed TO
make much impression on Lynch. For
the next twelve rounds 0'Neil became
weaker and weaker, and by the time
the nineteenth was reached he could
simply totter up to be knocked down
again without the slightest effort at defense.
He was most pitiable object. There was
considerable confusion after this round,
and many left the grounds disgusted at the
shameful spectacle When time was CALI
ed for the twentieth round, Lynch, though
badly winled, grasped O'NGil In weak
clinch, and they felitogether side by side.
His second found It impossible TO get the
Vandalia man on his legs again, SO the
sponge was thrown up, and Lynch declar.
ed the winner. Twenty rounds were fought
In ffty.fve minutes. The principals were
driven away In wagons, and are now hid
ing insome unknown place.

We want 1t known whether he Is sane or
insane, and, OF course, these casual ex-
aminations may not amount to anything.
Sometimes an insane person appears per-
fectly sane. l was reading yesterday an
annual report written by DR., Gray, Super
intendent OF the New York State Insane
Asylum, man who, by the way, has been
summoned rs an expert in this case by the
Government, He mentions in his report
the fact that thousands OF persons visit the
institution during year, and that nearly
all are surprised to find people apparently
perfectly sane confined in the Asylum"
"Have you ever had any opinion from
experts us TO Guiteau's insanityW
"0h, yes; have heard from two or three
OF them who express the belief that he is
irresponsible. Ihaye prepared, in con-

ing Guiteau's case to be submitted to ex-
perts, The points in 1t are about what we

corning his family associations, his former

have in adyanceso us to study the case"
WASHINGTON, November l3.-The trial
Of Guiteau will be begun tomorrow in the
Criminal Court. A host OF witnesses have
been summoned on both sides. Arrange

John W. Guiteau, OF Boston, and Mrs.
Scoville, visited their brother at the Jail
this afternoon. The interview lasted nearly
two hours, The prisoner betrayed no un-
usual emotion at the meeting and
after exchanging sautations began the old
story Of the causes which prompted him 10
commit the crime, and expressed no regret
whatever for his action, but reiterated his
previous story about being "inspired by
God, etc.
Geo. Scoyille, Guiteau's counsel, said this
evening that his client had insisted that 1t
should be his preFogative to make state
ment In court tomorrow and that Gui-
teau has been engaged for the past ten
days in preparing q document setting forth
his views, which he will probably present
as soon as the court opens tomorrow, un-
less prevented by Judge Cox.

the intention Of the counsel for defense to

Of renderinga fair verdict after hearing the

JAY GouLD-Sir: 1t Is my duty to in
form you that within six days from the
date Of this letter your body will have re-
turned to dust, from whence It came. l
therefore entreat you to make your peace
with God and prepare for the fato which
awaits you. This Is no wish Of mine to
take your life, but am inspired and re-
Quested by the all living God TO do so rs q
public necessity and for the benefit Of the
community at large. You must undoubt-
edly be aware that you have been rogue
Of the first water all your life; that through
your artful cunning and deceit you
have robbed thousands Of people
OF their birtlright. You have had no
money; you have robbed rich and poor,
father and fatherless, widow and
orphan indiscriminately Of their last
dollar, and through your yillainy have
brought ruin and destruction on thous-
ands Of families. All this you have
done under cloak by circulating false
reports, bribing newspapers, making false
statements committing perjury and by art
full cunning and deception; in fact, you
have robbed both the great and the small,
and now the Lord says that you must pay
for all; that your death is u public necessity
in order to save thousands Of others from
pain and destruction. Your death will be
an easy one, for purpose shooting you
through the heart II possible.
