CURIOUS CONGRESSMAN.
Information Wanted about Blaine's Latest
Circular Note.

NEW YORK, February "a Herald
Washington special of February I'd says !:
There has been some discussion among the
Congressman to-day as to where the Presi-
dent, if 1t was he, or Blaine, if it was he, got
authority to invite congress or convention
of delegates from North and South Ameri-
can republics. 1t is said by Northern Sena-
tors and Representatives that there Is no au-
thority for such a movement; that Congress
ought to have been consulted by the Presi-
dent before undertaking such an enterprise,
and that to pass the present circular nete
without question would be TO establish a
precedent under which some future Presi-
dent might, contrary to the wishes of Con-
gress, draw the country into dIsagreeable
complications. Mr.. Springer, Of Illinois,
will tomorrow ask the House for unanimous
consent to introduce and pass resolution of
inquiry on the subject, asking the President
TO inform the House First, whether the cir
cular note to the American republics Is au-
thentic and second, If so, where in the con-
stlIuLlUu Ut laws ne iOuuu ulHlSei cupo"-
cred to commit the United States to such
part in its deliberations as would bind it to
observe Its conclusions, whatever they might
be, agreeing beforehand that the United
States should have no more voice or vote in
the conference than any other republic.
The more this absurd circular note of
Blaine's is studied here, the wilder and more
preposterous does 1t appear to calm and So
Der public men. 1t Is remarked that no
mention is made In the Presidents annual
message of the circular note, or of the sum-
moning of a congress of republics, and it is
thought extraordinary that the President
should have proposed so far-reachng mat
ter, and then have kept 1t from the knowl-
edge of Congress. This fact gives strength
to the report that the circular note was sent
out by Blaine without the Presidents knowl-
edge, for 1t is urged that If Arthur had been
cognizant of it, he would undoubtedly have
made mention of 1t in his message, and given
there to Congress his reasons for sending it
and his supposed authority for the step. 1t
Is noticed that the circular note is dated No
vember 10Th, only few days before the as
sembling of Congress, which makes II more
extraordinary.

Cation and published in the local papers :
" The delegation from the Black Hills was
not sent to Washington to make fight on

The Assassin's Body.

New YORK, February 1.-The Posts
Washington special says: Referring to the
report that Scoville had consented to sell
Guiteau's body to Philadelphia speculator
for purposes of exhibition, he says he re-
ceived letter from a man some time ago
making him an offer, and he replied briefly
he would take it into consideration. 1t is
the only letter he has ever answered. 1t
would be matter, he says, which would be
for Guiteau and his immediate relatives to
decide. He thought they were disposed to
consider 1t favorably. As for himself, he
should recommend, in case the offer was &C
cepted, that so much of the proceeds as
might be necessary should be applied to sat-
isfying Guiteau's debts, anil any surplus be
donated to some asylum for the insane.
Scoville said he had not given up all hopes
Of getting the verdict set aside, but recog-
nized that the chance was small. He will
insist on post morton examination of the
brain, and Is confident it will disclose dis
ease.
The question is raised as to the right of
the relations to have and dispose of the re-
mains of person executed in circumstances
like these of Guiteau. Booths body was
not surrendered to his relatives for several
years after his death, and then only by spe-
cial order of the War Department.
WASHINGTON, February 2.-Guiteau's at
tention having been called to the fact that
his body was to be sold for the purpose OF
being exhibited, he seemed quite indignant,
and said that Scoville had no business to en-
terrain such proposition. He said he in
tended to will his body to some institution.
Guiteau is beginning to show much ner-
vousness and lrritability. He is suffering
from a severe cold, which has infamed his
eyes.
One of the Jail officials, who has observed
the prisoner closely, says he would not be
surprised If Guiteau did not live to be hung,
as his health appeared TO be failing rapidly.
John w. Guiteau last evening spent an
hour In his brothers cell. The prisoner be-
came very much excited during the inter-
view, in which he denounced both his
brother and Scoville.
Madame Janauschek, attended by men,
bers of her dramatic company, visited the
cell and had brief talk with the prisoner,
who treated her very courteously.

OSCAR WILDE.

There has been considerable mention of
late of the person whose name heads this
article. II has not all been complimentary
jim fact, has not been complimentary at all.
Ho has been cartooned, burlesqued, and de-
rided, and Is treated by the press with about
as much consideration as was extended to
Barnum's woolly horse and the Cardiff giant.
The gist of the matter is that he is the rep
resentative and exempliiication of what is
known as the "-Esthetic School," or what Is
more Familiarity known out West as "gush."
The theory of this is devotion to the beanti-
full and pure; the practical manifestation OF
IL has run into the silliest nonseLse--the
eushy, slop-over Stiffness of boarding-shool
ninnyism and nonsense. Oscar Wilde Is an
Irishman. His father was a noted oculIst OF
Dublin. Ills mother, Lady Wilde, has writ
ten some poems Of merit, and she Is heroic
noble, talented woman. Oscar himself has
written some good poetry. He Is educated,
well-bred, and talented. He has magniii-
cent physique and ability to make success
In life. Instead, be has aspired TO be.
come the godhead of the too-too, utterly
utter ninnies, and has succeeded. He ap'
pears at parties and on the lecture platform
In knee-breeches, powder, and buckles, and
Is employed, ills stated, as side-shew for
comic opera--a society representative OF
burlesqne character In Patience. While ht
has been nafronized to some extent and har
had the entree OF upper-ten society, u y
credtable TO the press Of America that Iii
follies have been satirized and caricaturec
by pencil and eraver until his antics are the
burden or ridicule. The result viii be
speedy demise of the aesthetic nonsense, and
the love Of the beautiful will have dlsasso
ciated from II the element that would make
1t ridiculous.

NORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS.

The action Of the House on the resolu-
tions relative to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road land grant does not seem to betoken
friendly spirit toward the n. +. Company by
that body or the Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads. Ii Is furthermore implied In the res
prevailing that Mr. Schurz when Secretary of
the Interior exceeded his authority In the
interest Of the Company. In fact there
seems TO be genera! suspicion prevalent in
Congress that its prerogatives have been in
vaded by Cabinet officers as evidenced by
the declaration against Mr.. Blaine's invita-
ton TO the South American Republics TO send
representatives TO an American convention,
and that the line is now TO be rigidly drawn
between the Legislative and Executive De-
partments. This may account to some ex-
tent for The unanimity on the land grant res
olutien, but there still remains evidence that
powerful force inimical to the Northern
Pacific Company Is bearing on national leg
islation at present. Just why this develops
at the present time would perhaps be more
apparent TO us If we were in the secrets OF
Wall Street and of the magnates who handle
blocks of Pacific Railroad stocks by the mill
lion dollars worth. We may be unjustly
skeptical but we lack faith that this raid
against the Northern Pacific grant at this
time is inspired by patriotic and un-
selfish motives. The secret history of
such legislation is too frequently
a history of jobbery and wreckage. There
was a time, and long time, when the North
ern Pacific was dormant, when the reserva-
tion for the company of lands over which the
line of road had been located, but not built,
worked a hardship to the people on that
line; and when forfeiture of these lands
would have been righteous and benefcent.
But Northern Pacific stocks were low then,
and they were gathered In. Now, although
the company is pushing construction with
magnificent energy, and the speedy compile
ton of the road is fairly certain, the power
that slept through those years is urged TO
assert its omnipotence and forfeit the lands.
Northern Pacific stocks are high now. A
bear movement might benefit somebody. As
matter of Justice TO those who have taken
up this old, lethargic, half dead enterprise,
revivified it with their money and brains,
and are In good faith pushing it to compile
ton, we trust this attempt to forfeit the grant
will fail. The day has passed when an effort
of that kind was entitled tn respect. As far
as Montana is concerned we need not care.
The charter of the company, we believe,
only permits this forfeiture, If by such for
fixture the more speedy construction of the
road may be secured. 1t will be difficult to
show in Congress that construction can be
be expedited by crippling the energetic or
ganization which now has an army of men
at work on the Montana gap. There will
be no forfeiture of the grant.

AFTER SENTENCE, WHAT

of Che Guiteau crime. First was the oilense,
second the conviction and sentence. IL re-

ARTHUR AND BLAINE.
The Personal Contest Between These
Leaders Discussed.

NEW YORK, February 4.-Specials from
Washington say the position and views of
Blaine in regard to the South American pol
icy of the United States continue to be the
subject of general conversation. The Posts
correspondent says: "The personal con-
test, for it is personal, between President
Arthur and Blaine, grows more and more
intensified as each presents his case day by
day to the public. The friends of the Pres
ident say that Blaine is stalking his political
fortune on the turn of the tide one way or
the other, and will resort to every means TO
protect his interests. The President is I'M
derstood to feel very deeply the attempt of
Blaine to make him out timid and incon-
sistent man, and 1t Is said that Blaine over
stepped the bounds, not only of decorum,
but almost of subordination and law, In his

not more by patriotic motives and legitimate
ambition for the Presidency than by the
wish 20 benefit himself and his friends pecu-
HIaIiiy. Didlhe uocs iot losc HedEb az ali,
and talks about the future with his usual
buoyancy and aggressiveness. He claims
that if the Stalwarts wish to go into specula-
ton back of the Peru aud Chill imbroglio,
he can show men involved in it, just as near
to Arthur as anybody can be to himself.
Politicians are watching the newspaper
progress of the controversy with the keenest
interest"
The Commercial Advertisers correspen-
dent says: alt is spoken of as a somewhat
significant fact that, although some of the
members of the present Administration sat
at the same Cabinet table with the late
Premier and had opportunities of consulting
him every day, they did not know what pol.
icy was being pursued in reference to Chill
and Peru. No one doubts that the President
had every confidence in Blaine, and trusted
him to the fullest extent In all matters OF
diplomacy; but, notwithstanding all this
Biaine's purposes were either not fully ex'
planned, or If SO, entirely misunderstood
Blaine was not communicative to his associ.
ates in the Cabinet, and only saw the Presi.
dent when he thought the importance of the
business on hand justified it. His recent
pronunciamento is regarded by many leading
Republicans as an evidence that he intends

SOME incidents of the recent fire In Print
ing House Square In New York are very sug-
gestive Of means by which many lives might
be saved OH future occasions Of the kind. A
driver of an express wagon which had can
vas cover drove beneath a window OF the
burning building aud called to the men
above to jump on the wagon. This they did,
and received but few injuries, the canvas top
breaking the force of their fall. Other SIM
liar incidents occurred, aud all these suggest
the thought that the city fire departments
should adopt some plan of that kind for use
wherever needed. Strong network with APP
paratus TO hold ii in position and men TO
manage IL should be considered as necessary
TO a complete and efficient fire department
as the engines, hose carts, hook and ladder
trucks, and the men TO work them. Ii such
were the case the loss of life during confia-
grations In high buildings would be much
decreased.

Intnt Intervention.

PARIS, February 3.-Gambetta informed
De Freycinct the prospect for joint inter
vention In Egypt was arranged to avoid all
possibility of conflict between England and
France; that the troops intended for that
purpose were scattered among different gar
risons In the south of France and were ready
to be sent to Egypt directly, where they
would form sufficient contingent to coop.
crate with the English troops. The two
powers, be said, had also agreed as to what
should be regarded as an anarchical situa-
ton, such as the fall Of the Chief Pacha OF
Prime Minister In resisting demands Of nota-
bles, or his maintenance in power after sub
hitting TO their demands.

Guiteau's Brother and the Jury.


WASHINGTON, February 5.-Guiteau will
be closely guarded, and prevented as far as
possible from making communications to the
public. He will be treated in every respect
as condemned felon. After Guiteau was
taken back to Jail, an affecting scene occurred
in the Office of the deputy marshals. Here
John w. Guiteau met the jury and babe
them farewell. He shook hands with all in
person, and expressed his friendly feeling.
Foreman Hamlin, as they::parted, said with
manifest feeling: :" Mr.. Guiteau, whenever
you come to Washington want you to feel
towards me as brother" Guiteau replied :
shall and thank you." He subsequent
ly said that of late he had not expected q
different verdict on the evidence.

THE JEANETTE SURVIVORS.
still Struggling for Life In Siberia.

NEW YORK, February 2.-MT. Bennett
furnishes the following cable to the N. Y.
Herald.
PARIS, February 1.-The following inn
portant dispatch was received direct this
morning from Lieutenant Danenhauer, at
Irkutsk: All three boats left Seminowsky
Island on the morning Of September 18th,
bound for Sarkinat, ninety five miles distant.
We got clear Of the Ice at noon; there was
then heavy gale blowing from the north
east, and the boats dispersed during the
night. The Captains boat, which was load
ed deeply, lost her masts and sails. We
made land On the evening of the 7th in shall
low water. The boat was abandoned two
miles from the beach. Our party waded
and reached the old and deserted village of
Sazaph. We saved the log books and pro-
ceeded south, September 10th. Lieutenant
belongs last record, which we have found,
reads as follows: "October l, 1SS1.-Four-
teen of the officers and men of the Jeanette
reached this hut on Wednesday, September
2sth, and having been forced to wait for the
river to freeze over are proceeding to cross to
the west side this morning, on their journey
to reach some settlement on the Lena River.
Only two days provisions, but We have been
fortunate enough to get game for our needs.
Our party are all well except Hans Erick-
son, whose toes have been amputated in con-
sequence of frost bite. Other records will be
found In several huts on the east side of the
river along which we have come from the
north"
Three other records have been found.
Erickson died October Sth; the party is in
great distress for want of food. Two men
who started south for their relief were res
cued October 18th, in starving condition,
by the natives. The Russians are very ac-
tive in their efforts for relief. Every
effort is being made. Jack Cole is tranquil
to-day; he is violent only at times. My left
eye is ruined and my right one badly i'm
paired. The other men are we'll.
