GUlTEAU'S CASE.
Mr.. Davidge Resumes His Argument ON
the Question of Jurisdiction.

WAsHINGTOT, May IL.
Davidge resumed his argument this A. NJ,
before the court in banc in the case of Chas.
j. Guiteau, and after briefly reviewing the
points made in his argument, yesterday, he
addressed himself to the question of jurisdic-
ton. The counsel believed the time had
come when it became the duty of this court
to declare in plain and unmistakable terms
the meaning of a statute of the United States
and vindcate the sovereignty of this nation
reposed in their keeping.
After the conclusion of Davidge's argu-
ment recess was taken for five minutes.
At l2.15 Col. Reed began to address the court
on the closing of the case. Reed claimed
that Davidge had made an interesting argu-
ment in a circle and it was simply this, to
commit murder was to commit, but he had
failed to meet the issue, namely, the juris-
diction of the criminal court of this district to
try this case.
AT tel minutes past two Reed closed his
argument with an appeal not to send Guiteau
to the gallows if grave doubt should be
found to exist Of the jurisdiction of the court
tried him. Court adjourned until 10 o clock,
Monday, taking the matter under Amusement.

deed. The deceased at one time held posi-
ton in the United States Senate. He recent
ly returned from a trip abroad where he went
for his health. 1t was not known until late
Thursday that White had committed suicide,
so quietly was the matter kept. The relatives
of the deceased were DESTROYS of keeping the
matter from the public.

the two who were not hung would wish they
were" She had realized 5000 from her
New York lecture, and was to appear in Bos-
ton and elsewhere, but for his positive inter-
ferance. She proposes to rent a home for
self and lecture to save her brother. She
said IF he does not cease his interferances

John Guiteau will tell what he knows about
Scoville. For the sake of nv children
withhold the worst for the present.

Arrest Of N Ex.Soldier in London ON
Suspicion.

LONDON, May IL.
The Times Dublin special states the po-
lice and people are beginning to discredit the
theory that Irish-Americans were imported
to commit the murder of Cavendish and
Burke. This leads further to the deduction
that some riband lodge was implicated in the
crime. Great hope is felt that the reward Of
fered will induce some member to inform.
One of the knives sold by iron mongers, OF
Dublin. to some suspicious looking persons,
Saturday. was capable of inficting the wounds
sustained by the victims. The knife was
purchased shortly before one p. NJ. A dis
charged soldier named Allen, who arrived in
Mill street, from Dublin, last evening. has
been arrested on suspicion.
NanRle stated at Southport that the men
who offered him money to assist in murders
were canal boa;men.
Mr.. Palmer, who acted as volunteer de-
teetive in several important cases, in a COM
munication to st. James Gazette says. he has
reason to know that the arrest of the as
sassins can be facilitated if the government
will give guarantee not to surrender the
informer in the event of his being claimed
BY Russian or German police.
SHREWSBURY, Eng, May l2.
James NcGrath has been arrested here

plicity in the assassinations.
DUBLIN, May II.
Nangle was confronted this evening with
the canal boatmen who he had described as
the men who offered him f1OO to assist in
the assassinations. After the investigation
the police concluded the whole story fabrica-
ton. Nangle was detained on suspicion of
stealing cattle. The police are confident of
receiving important additional information.
BELFAST, MAY II.
John Corvin, arrested here, is believed to
be the driver of the car which took the muir
ders to Phoenix Park.

Why we Have SO Few Good Riders.

1t has frequently been the subject of re-
mark as to the cause of the scarcity of good
Jockeys. To be sure we have some excellent
riders-Barrett, Evans, Hughes, Barbee,
Feakes, and probably half a dozen others,
but not more. The secret is explained in the
fact that unless Jockey takes great care of
himself, constant exercise in the saddle will
superinduce Piles of the most aggravating
character, that itch intensely, particularly
after getting warm in bed, and thus render
him unfit for service on the track However,
if Swayne's Ointment were used, the worst
case of Itching Piles " ould be speedily cured.
