pension to Mrs. Lincoln.
Judge Cox will Dispose of IL.
In view of the recent proposition to make
q public spectacle of Guiteau's remains, 1t Is

vised Statutes and include in the death SEN
tence the disposition OF the body

disavows all knowledge OF. the proposed ex-
hibition of his brothers body, and says
whether his brother dies by legal process or

Getting Nervous and Irritable.
Guiteau is beginning to show much nery-
business and irritsbility. He is suffering
from a severe cold which has infamed his
eyes, One of the Jail officials says that he

To Assist I'm the Search for DeLonE-
Secretary Hunt has designated Lieutenant
Giles z. HARDER and Master w. ii. Scheulz,
of the navy, as the officers to assist Lieuten-
ant Danenhower in the search for Lieutenant
Chip and his crew, and they will take
passage in the steamship Germans, which
leaves New York Saturday, with the expec-
tation OF reaching Irkoutsk about the mid
die of March. Their instructions are not
quite complete but will include orders to
spare neither effort nor expense in the prose-
cution of the work assigned them. Lieuten-
ant HARDER is now in command of the tor
pedo boat Alarm, at the navy-yard at Wash
ington and Master Sheulz is on leave OF
absence in St. Louis. He has been ordered
to proceed to New York without delay.
Guifeau Gossip.
Scoville pronounees the story that Mrs.
Scoyille is insane as false. He says she Is
naturally under nigh state OF excitement,
but her.mind is entirely sound. He also de-
clares the story of her having raised row
in Daniels's house in Chicago as false and
that it Was made out of whole cloth. He
declares there is not word of truth in IL. He
and other relatives of Guiteau have no doubt
that the body of the assassin will be delivered
to them after the execution. Scoville ap-
pears to regard favorably the proposition to
exhibit the body of the assassin, but John
Guiteau denounces it, and says it shall not
be done. Scoyille has expended his means
in the trial, and it is said he would not
object to being reimbursed by the sale of the
body, in case Guiteau is executed.
How II is Received.
Senator Ingalls's attack upon WINDOWS
refunding scheme in the Senate is the sub
iect Of considerable comment. Some OF the
Republican senators INDUCED in sharp criti-
cisms ON Ingalls, for his speech, and thought
it very much out of place. One of them
said it was really an attack upon the Repuo-
liean party. Senator Ingalls, voted for the
three per cent. bill that was vetoed, and he
naturally condemned the veto. Those who
favored the three per cent. bill OF
last year regarded the Sherman bill as an
attempt to repair the mistake that had been
made, and besides they claimed that there
was an effort being made in connection with
the pending bill to justify approve OF the
refunding operations of Window. This is
said to have prompted Ingalls's speech to-
day. The Democrats enjoyed the speech and
applauded it. One Republican senator said
this evening that Ingalls's speech had de-
termined him to vote against the bill, as its
passage would now be construed as a re-
Election upon Secretary Window, or disap-
prevail of his refunding operations.
