GUlTEAUPS EMPHATIC DENIAL.
Counsel Reed Bears Evidence That
Guiteau Had no Accom-
DliceS.

New YORK, March 6.-Charles H. Reed,
counsel for Guiteau, was seen in his Office to-
day. He said: Eyes, / have read in the
newspapers the statement of ex-Postmaster
General James before the committee in
Washington, which conveys the impression
that the star route prosecutions were in some
measure the cause OF the shooting Of Presi-
dent Garfield. l an therefore willing to
have published for the first tine some con
versations which occurred between Guiteau
and myself while | acted as his attorney.
On several occasions when alone with Gui-
teau l asked him if he mad any accomplice,
or if any person knew he thought of
shooting the president. He always answered,
in the most emphatic manner No! No one
bat God and me knew anything about it,
One day before he was executed, when I
saw him for the last time, l said to him,
.'Guitcau, all hope Of saving you is gone,
and you must die tomorrow. Now, l ask
you again, had you any accomplish, or did
any person beside you know anything about
your intention to kill the PRESIDENT" With
a wild light in his eyes, which was impossi-
bic OF stimulation, he replied: "Nol MOI
No one but God and me knew ANYTHING
about it. as l have often told you. That is
the truth, US l expect to meet my God to-
morrow"

The parties who are endeavoring to estab-

The members of the Saltwater Choral

Prof. Fl. Luro, formerly musical director
of the Saltwater manerchor, left here last
evening for East Saginaw, Mich, having ac-
cepted a similar position with the Germania
society of that city. The departure of the
professor is greatly regretted by his many
friends in Saltwater, where he has succeeded
in establishing a most enviable reputation,
not only as a gentleman but as a musical in
structor as well.

The House of REPRESENTATIVES,.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The speaker an
nounced the appointment of Manzeaus,
New Mexico, upon the committee on coin
age, weights and measures.
The morning o was dispens ed with and
the house went into committee Of the whole,
Mr.. Converse, of Ohio, in the chair, on tina
naval appropriation bin.
In the course of the discussion, Mr.. Hen
ley reflected severely on the present secre-
tary of the navy, for instigating, as he be-
lievcd methods by which the employees at
Mare island navy yard were compelled to
vote the- Republican ticket at the last cleo
ton.
Mr.. Reed inquired, ''whether any one had
been murdered for not voting right, - To
which Mr.. Henley replied, 'it would not be
much loss to the world if the men who in
spired such methods were murdered, I" and
Mr.. Glascock INTERCEPTED the information,
''that the employees were, If not muir
dered, at any rate discharged
if they did not vote right.
Mr.. Randall denied that the committee on
appropriations had exhibited the least hos
tility to building up the navy. He did not
believe that there was any considerable num-
Der of representatives who did not esteem the
navy and its brave officers, and seek to make
it what it should be and what it was not now,
but with the money already expended and
that appropriated in this bill, a%ggregating
S584,000, there was no immediate neees-
sity now for adding to that amount for guns.
In case of an emergency, which he did not
anticipate, the United States could buy guns.
She had a market in England, France and
Germany. If the house expected that there
should continue to be economy in the adj
ministration of the various departments, it
must sustain the appropriations when IL
gave intelligent reasons for its reeommen-
dation.
Mr.. Belford offered an amendment author
izing the detail of naval line officers to act
as instructors in state universities and agri-
cultural colleges, providing that the total
number detailed shall not exceed forty.
Adopted.
Mr.. Calkins moved to amend the clause
prohibiting officers on the retired list from
accepting position in the civil service
of the United States by providing that the
prohibition shall not apply to any officer be-
low the rank of major in the army, or COM
mander in the navy, who has been retired by
reason of wounds received in the service.
Adopted. The committee then rose ind re-
ported the bill to the house and it passed:
yeas 259, nays1, White of Kentucky.
On motion of Mr.. Randall the request Of
the senate for a conference on the joint res
olution increasing the contingent fund Of
the senate, was agreed TO, and Randall, Hoi-
man and Ryan were appointed conferees.

WHERE, OH WHERE CAN HE BE2
The Beautiful Bosworth Still Non Est
Facts and Fancies as to His
Disannearance.

Next to a clam, nothing can exceed the
secretiveness of the government official. The
truism, for such it is, has never been more
perfectly illustrated than in the difficulty ex-
perienced in eliciting information concern
ing the French leave disappearance from the
post office department Of Charles Fl. Bos-
worth, who skipped out with a Clarendon no.
tel dining room girl last Saturday. Yester-
doy the GLOBE gave full and complete par
escapade, and the story Of
his sudden departure was read with absorb
ing interest and the romantic affair has
really been the talk Of the town.
Up to the present time nothing has been
discovered as to the young mans wherea-
bouts and 1t is pretty generally concluded
that he took good care to cover up his tracks.
About the last seen of Bosworth was by
Mike McNulty, the expressman, who carted
a couple of his trunks and some other bag
gage to the union depot on Saturday night.
This was about 7:30 o'clock and as stated yes
terday, Bosworth and the girl evidently took
the 7:45 O'Clock train for the east, orthey may
have left on the Northern Pacific express.
Yesterday a GLOBE reporter called on As
sistant Postmaster O'Brien n questioned
him as to the investigation into Bosworth's
accounts. He refused absolutely to speak of
the matter, other than to say that the inves-
tigation had been concluded. 1t is definite
1y settled, however, that there is a slight
shortage in his accounts, and it is quite. GER
tain that the deficiency is less than $1,000
and over $500.
The reporter also called on Special Agent
Childs. The latter was quite chirpy and he
said that he had known Bosworth when he
was a member of the legislature from Good
hue county; this was in 1875 and he was at
time considered a very promising
young man. In speaking Of his accounts,
Mr.. Childs said that it was not in the inter
ests of the government to speak of this mat
ter at present; he had known Bosworth for
years and aftel all there might be an
excuse or a mistake. Further than this he
would not depose.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Mrs. Chanfrau in ''The B~ankrupt's
Wife" Last Evening.

The opening performance of the Chanfrau
engagement at the Grand last night, was
witnessed by only a fair-sized audience.
The attraction was the drama, ssThe Bank
rupt's Wife" in which Mrs. Henrietta
Chanfrau was introduced as Grace Shirley,
the heroine of the plot. The play possesses
nothing of extraordinary force or strength,
and yet it is marked by a uniform symmetry
as to dramatic requisites that invests it with
sustained interest and merit. In plot and
situations it has been compared to the recent
exotic, 1.-THE Silver King and it must be
confessed that between the plays
there IS a marked similarity,
the play under consideration, however,
possessing the merit of precedence and
originality, inasmuch as it was produced
several years before the latter drama was
thought Of. The first act introduces Dosey
Shirley in the midst of luxury and surround
ed by a happy family. 1t also introduces a
brace of Williams, who control the bank over
winch Shirley presides, and who, from con-
trary motives, concoct a scheme to effect his
downfall.
In this they succeed, effecting his financial
ruin and blighting his reputation. To spare

braces the inconsistent relief of suicide by
jumping into a river. He is picked up by a
foreign bound ship, and in distant lands he
amasses a fortune. Returning he confronts
his traducers, is restored to his family and
society, and all ends happily.
The ~impersonation of Mrs. Chanfrau was
artistic, refined and beautiful. She enacted
the first scenes with charming repose and
grace and was finished throughout. Her
costumes were models of elegance. The
character of Arson by Mr.. Tayleure, author
OF the comedy part of the play, was next in
prominence. He gave an easy, graceful and
h%n1shed, but not an exactly typical portrait
ure OF the modern newspaper reporter.
What he did was done gracefully
his acting in the third act, where he proposes
to the widow, being delightful for its blend
ing OF nervousness and sang froid.
MIR. Hall played the role of Shirley and he
played it well.
Little Maud, taken by a five year old
cherub, was delightful for its artless ~naiyete.
The characters by Miss Hight, Miss Nelson,
and Miss Gilpin were all enacted in a prais-
worthy manner. The same may be said of
Messrs. Willis, Verney and Owen, the cast
being very even.
This evening Mr.. Chanfrau and the COM
pany viii give the popular play the 'Arkan-
saw Traveller"

Y. NJ. C. A.

The Shakesperian recital at the Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms last evening drew ont a large audi
enee. The opening selection, a piano solo,
by Mrs. T. W. Forbes was finely rendered.
The essay on Shakespeare by L. S.. Armstrong
was well received as was also Hamlet's in
structions receited by Owen Morris. Messrs.
Swift and De .Guiscard sang the Pilot re-
markedly well. The extract from Antony's
grafton by Miss May D'anse and the inter
view between Hamlet n his mother, the
Ghost, by Miss Henrietta Haas, were both
given with excellent expression. Rondo
capriccioso from Mendelssohn executed by
Mrs. A. +. Kirby receiveda hearty welcome.
G. G. Harrison, in reciting the fall of Cardi-
nal Wolseley, did it with ease and precision.
The quarrel scene between Brutus and Cas-
sias, was very well givenby Mrs. B. Vaughan,
Miss K. H. Caig. The Queen of the Night,
was nicely sung by Misses A. Brors, s.. and
NJ. Spangler. Considerable expression was
exhibited in Clarenee's Dream as recited by
Mr.. Sephton. Mr.. Swift sang the Yeoman's
Wedding Song, very sweetly. The scene
from Macbeth was finely recited by Miss A.
E. Barwise. The closing exercise was a piano

A Retention to Schultz.

, ST. LOUIS, March 6.-Lieut. Schultz, of
the Siberian expedition, received a notable
reception on change to-day, The great hall
was nearly filed with citizens of all classes,
many of them ladies. The lieutenant was
introduced from Il. rostrum by President
Francis and Hon. Erastus Wells, who APP
pointed Schultz to Annapolis ACADEMY
when he represented st. Louis in congress.
They also made brief speeches, both highly
complimenting the lieutenant for his noble
service, and rendering him a hearty welcome
back home. The lieutenant replied in a very
brief, modest speech, thanking his fellow
citizens for their kind attentions, after
whichhe was introduced on the floor Of the
exchange, and received numerous congratu-
lations on his safe return.

He had one of those peculiarly aggressive
mugs; his chin was short and stubborn, like
the lower jaw Of a bull dog, and the nose
was long and peaked-a perfect daisy, and
yet he was only a tramp, but his flow OF
language and the boldness Of his speech
marked him as a man of some caste for his
genus. He was charged with having been
drunk and disorderly, and when the court
called his name, James Doyle, he jumped to
his feet and asked to make a speech.
s'Your honor,'' he said, "the policemen Of
st. Paul must be men of extraordinary pene-
tration to charge me with drunkenness; how,
I ask, can a man be drunk who has been in
the workhouse for nine days and who was ar
rested as soon as he gets out?" He then
explained that he had gone to the city hall
Wednesday night for lodging; on entering
the tramp room a mute known as the
dummy and two other men jumped onto
him he resented the attack and was locked
up. The court asked him if he could get
out of town bynoon and he said that he could.
He skipped.
Robert Reitzheimer, a wild looking Ger
man, was up on the charge of assault. Pau
lima Duscheck, the complainant, a wrinkled
dame of a good many tough winters, took
the stand and amused the gang by her glib
berish and strange gesticulations, all in Ger
man, and her tongue went like a bell clap
per, it being impossible to stop her after she
had been wound up. She and defendant
occupy the same house, and the latter testi-
fed that she threw a pie plate at him, acted
like a wild cat and broke into a room where
a very sick man was lying. He had merely
elected her. The case was dismissed.
The case of Chas. Drum and James Flynn,
the small boys charged with stealing forty
cents worth OF papers, was continued a week.
When the case of Joe Shaver, charged
with assaulting e. A. Johnson, was called,
the latter did not appear and an attachment
was ordered for his arrest.

twenty-five years, and has shown himself to
