few days to get ready for argument on this mo-
tion but Mr. Merrick Of the prosecuting coun-
sci resisted the application and demanded inn
mediate consideration of the motion, which de-
mand was sustained by Judge Wylie, and the
Court proceeded to hear the argument thereon.
Mr.. ingalls, interrupted to say that his client
Stephen w. Dorsey was in court and he asked
to have the forfeiture of his recognizance
stricken off the record, which request the Court
finally granted after some argument.
The first section of the motion for bill OF
particulars was then read and Messrs. Williams
and Wilson made an argument for the defence
to sustain their demand. The motion is very
Mr. Merriok answered the arguments of the
defence, claiming that the information set
forth in the Indictment was ample and COM
prised all the particulars required by law
Col. lngersoll claimed the government should
specify which papers were forgeries, and
charged that these documei Is instead of being
on file in the department were really In the
hands of counsel for prosecution where the de-
fence could have no access to them.
To this Judge Wylie replied "you shall not
be tried upon papers you cannot see."
Col. Ingersoll remarked, "that is all we want |"
Mr.. Merrick then called for the arraignment
of Stephen W. Dorsey, whereupon the latter
waived the reading of the indictment and plead
not guilty.

The witness declined to answer several ques-
tions He was asked, "Did you know White
law Reid?" and replied in the affirmative.
Mr.. Deuster-Then when Mr.. Reid said he
was not aware that he had ever met you he

preached him as lawyer.
Mr.. Williams reading from the letter, IN

heard of his conducting any case, but inferred
his ability from the high position he occupied.

ment in attempting to discuss these matters
with SO eminent statesman and therefore
turn to yon." Did you expect the son could
instruct the father?

how did he have any advantages as an at

Disposition to Force Scoville out of the
Case.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The Guitsau case
has assumed a new phase over the quar-
rel of Messrs. Scoville and Reed, the
counsel. Your correspondent met Mr.. John
W. Guiteau, the assassin's brother, at the
Riggs House. to-day, and in course of conver-
satiJn ascertained that there was grand rum
pus in progress, and that MIR. Guiteau and Mr..
Reed are both determined to get rid of Mr..
Scoville. The prisoner is growing fat over his
fare at the Jail, and utters the most insane talk
on the subject of inspiration and assassination.
His bravado has not forsaken him yet,although
he does not dwell upon the subject as much as
formerly. The argument in the court in banc
promises to bring forth some very dramatic
episodes, as Mr.. Scoville has written District
Attorney Corkhill saying that he will be ready
May 18th, and in turn Col. Corkhill stated yes
terday, that he should not notice Mr., Scoville's
communications any more than Guiteau's. Mr..
Reed exhibits considerable feeling over the
matter, and said to correspondent, Things
have come to pretty pass when man has not
the liberty of choosing his own counsel, espe-
cially when that man hass been adjudged by a
jury to be perfectly sane and responsible.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT
SEA.
A Vessels Progress Suddenly Stopped
Probably a Sub Marine Volcano.

"A N65S0l5 b Progress suddenly OLOppeQ.-
Probably Sub Marine Volcano.
BALTIMORE, April 1S-Capt. G. II. G. Hor-
ner, of the German ship Stella, which
arrived last Saturday from Bremen,
gives an account of o singular phenomenon
which he witnessed while on the way to this
port. On the morning of March IS, Chief Off
Ger De Boer had charge of the morning watch.
The weather was severe and clear, and the sea
smooth and calm. The ship was bowling along
at the rate of two miles an hour by the wind.
AT about 80 O'Clock the vessel suddenly halt
ed in her course, quivering from truck to keel
son, and conveying the impression to those be-
low that the ship had struck a rock. Capt
Horner, who was below looking over his chart,
at once ran on deck to ascertain the cause of
the shock, and. finding the weather clear and
the sea tranquil, was puzzled. Neither the
chief mate, who was on the quarter deck at the
time, nor the lookout, could account for the
strange occurrence The captain then ordered
the heaving of the lead, but found ne bottom
at 100 fathoms. The pumps were sounded and
the ship found to be tight. The shock lasted
only half minute, after which the ship went
on as before. Dapt. Horner himself went aloft
but could discover no signs of any obstruction.
He expresses the opinion that he had encoun-
tered a tremor or submarine volcanic erup-
ton. The ships position at the time was in
lat. 370 21' north, long. 230 81 west. He found
the rate of the chronometer correct, observa-
tion being taken Sc minutes after the shock.
