l so shalt thou reap" 'l didn't know you
 read the Bible" snarled Guiteau. Amoment | later he cried exutingly 'tI have just got
 my speech done, but am afraid won't get
 chance to deliver it, the way Davidge is
 talking" Gaughter.) The understanding
 was that court would sit until o'clock, but
 as Mir. Davidge complained of weakness it
 was agreed to adjourn at 3. Guiteau
 cried: ''Davidge said he would speak three
 hours, but the way he is going he will talk
 two weeks"
 'I want to understand" said the court,
 'about the prisoners desire to address the
 jury. have no objection that he should do
 so if he will confine himself to argument
 upon the evidence" Mir. Scoville said the
 accused had 1ntimated desire to speak He
 supposed the investigation would be left to
 the court. ''I desire, :" said Gxiteau in more
 dlgnlfied manner than usual, Ito close the
 case in my own behalf. I would not trust
 the best man in America to close the case"
 ''I would not object, said Judge Cox, 'but 1 am afraid he will not confne himself to the facts. If his counsel will look over his speech and expunge anything improper I have no objection to his being heard" "There are no personalities in the speech" shouted the prisoner. 'It is confined to law and the facts" 1T hope your honor," said Colonel Corkhill, speaking warmly, twill not allow him to leave the dock again until the trial is over He has counsel here, and if he has any special views he may present them through his counsel I do not want this man to appear at the counsel table again, and to allow him to speak from the dock would be a dis grace" 'General Arthur will take care of you, Corkhill,'' cried Guiteau Mir. Davidge thought there was no precedent for the course the prisoner wanted to pursue. ''Well," said Mir. Scoville, ''I don't think there should be any precedent against the prisoner speaking in his own behalf. We don't want him to do it'' ''That settles it. said the District attorney decidedly s'No, sir, was Scoville's hot response; ''it does not settle it.'' Whenever the prisoner has been granted liberties here,'' said Davidge, ''he has degraded the administration of justice" Mir. Scoville suggested that if the prisoner did not confne him. self to the evidence it would be proper for the court to stop him and he would be compelled to stop just as other counsel under similar circumstances. ''That is my understanding" said Guiteau. F'So far as the number of speeches is concerned" /" 1ntlmated Scoville with twinkle in his eye. "We have no objection to Corkhill answer ing the prisoner. q do not want this to pass" the District attorney said with em- phasis, without an earnest protest. There is no right under the Constitution or laws by which such privilege can be claimed. The
  tration of justice by his conduct. It is time such mockery was ended, and that man shall never, with the sanction of the government, leave that dock until after the verdict of the jury. (Applause.) We do not want to de- prive him of any right, but we have stood his calumny, abuse and vituperation long enough. He has counsel here and let the matter now be settled finally" There was another outburst of applause. The audience seemed in perfect accord with the prosecu- tion on this subject and could not be re- strained from an expression of feeling.
 After further colloquy it was suggested that counsel for the defense should examine the speech and ascertain if there were any views therein which should be presented to loud tone said: 1T object to that" John W. Guiteau with difficulty pacifed her. She sobbed frequently during the last of the dis cussion. The prisoner grew wildly excited at this. He jumped tc his feet and banging his fist on the railing shrieked: "The American people will read my speech and they are greater than this court and jury. a snarling voice. Mir. Court and Mir. jury men and the court 51e 6Gnc will do me justice. It is gag law if I cannot be heard in my own defense. My speech will make eight col umns of the Herald. It reads like the ora tion of Cicero, md will go laundering down the ages. Loud laughter.)
 MT. Scoville protested against the prose court should do in the matter. He warmly declared that the prisoner should not be driven from the court room to the gallows without saying word in his own behalf. In answer to Judge Porter the court said ''It had not made up it's mind at present. Everything the prisoner had ut tered so far had been abusive and improper k1f sy,rkS kSroJ 6or1 hon ha cause of the abuse heaped upon me-" bawled the prisoner. 1.-The prosecution want me to crawl like snake, but I don't crawl. I stand up like man here as the agent of the Deity and God Almighty will take care of me I tell you" This harangue was cut short by the court adjourning and the prisoner being hustled out of the dock by the guards.
 It is estimated that the cost of the trial will amount to $30,0 061.85. The fees of Messrs. Porter and Davidge will not, it is said, exceed 1000 each. The jury will get $3, 213. For witnesses, including mileage, there has been paid $8,076.85. Of this sum $5 189 S5 was paid in behalf of the govern ment and $2, 6S9 for the defendant, and of the latter $389.25 went to the Guiteau family and connections. For reporting and print ing $5,000 and for seven deputy marshals used in the halls and chambers $1,302 will be necessary. Miscellaneous expenses foot up $1, 900. The medical experts simply re- ceived fees and mileage like other witnesses. It was found that extra compensation would be illegal.
 Pension Disbursements-An Enormous
 Raid on the Treasury-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Mr. Browne, of Ta- diana, to-day introduced resolution in the House asking the Secretary of the Interior what amount would be required to be paid in pensions between this and 1888 under the existing laws. The resolution was referred to the Pension committee. If it reaches the quite astonishing. Over half the bills so far introduced this session have been of this nature.
 The Democrats in the House pride them selves on having made point on the opposi- tion to-day by putting themselves on record as opening the door for unauthorized expend- itures of money When the bill for the cen sus deficiency created without authority of law was being discussed MT. Holman offered an amendment adding that this shall not be considered precedent or any possible pledge that this House will do so again. To this the Republicans objected, saying there might be. necessity for such action at any time. The vote, 105 against the amendment and v for, was strictly party vote, the Democrats voting for it and the Republicans against it. While the amendment failed of adoption it's mover attained probably all he really expect ed to gain by it in making record against the other side.
 On the back of the last letter from Hon. J. c. S. Blackburn to General Bur bridge, published this afternoon, the latter wrote the following, which led to the issuance of Blackburn's card to the pub lie also published to-day: Returned to the writer as unworthy of notice. For my cour- age refer to the history of my country, which is silent upon his achievements. For ample proof of attempt to introduce clothing infected with yellow fever virus into north ern cities I refer to the correspondence relat- ing thereto now on file in the State depart partment. $.
