THE ASSASSlN'S TRIAL.

The ,cross-examinstion of Guiteau by
Judge Porter continued through Thurs
day and Friday. The prisoner was by
times irascible and sulky and made a
most unfavorable impression His in.
tense egotism was displayed to a great
CT extent than ever before, but beyond
the excessive desire for publicity there
was nothing to show his insanity AT
one time he became furiously excited
and denounced Secretary Blaine. lie
was allowed all possible freedom, and
wound up by stating with a shout, that
he believed Blaine was morally respon-
sible for Garield's death.
On Saturday, Emory A. Storrs, the fa-
nous Chicago lawyer, was on the stand
for the defense. lie testified that he
"never saw anything in Mr. Guiteau to
indicate that he could not distinguish
between right and wrong" and that he
'never saw anything to indicate that he
would not be responsible for crime. "
This so exasperated Guiteau's sister that
she said "He has perjured himself; that
is all there is about it" Senator Davis
was next placed upon the stand He
was examined as to the disagreement be-
tween President Garfield and Senator
Conkling. He thought that the Repub-
lican party could only be destroyed by
disrupting the Democratic party. Judg-
ing from the Senator's recent acts, we
should imagine that he had tried his
level best to smash both parties.
On Monday, medical experts were ex-
amined. Their testimony rather leaned
towards the prisoners insanity. Guiteau
at one criticism of his political speech,
said that he had ''rather be hanged as
man, than acquitted as fool" The
public earnestly hope that he may
not be acquitted.

There are no less than sixteen con-
tested seats in Congress, and all but three
of the contestants are Republicans. In
almost every case the Democratic major
ity in each district runs into the thous :
ands. Evidently the Republicans are
afraid of their slender majority in the
House, and intend if possible to increase
it by ousting legally elected members. In
any event large bill of expense will
be laid upon the people.

John Cessna, who was defeated for
Judge in the Somerset district at the re-

The Secretary of the Treasury in his
annual report to Congress suggests that
the coinage of silver be suspended One
hundred millions of silver dollars have
been coined and sixty six millions of
this amount remain in the vaults of the
treasury-just two thirds of the total
coinage. The Secretary is of opinion
that the United States can pay their OBJ
legations in gold. The silver dollars are

Raid 1910 Mexico By Cowboys-
Brakeman Killed.
TUCSON, A. T., June 15.-About
three weeks ago four Americans
were killed near Fronteras, ia Chi.
huahua, three Of whom are sup.
posed to have been cowboys. For
the last week the cowboys have
been concentrating near Galeyvi'le,
with the uvowed purpose of aveng-
ing the death OF their comrades.
They threatened to take Fronteras
last week. Word was at once sent
to the Mexican Consul at this place
who sent warning to the people at
Fronteras aud also notified the
Mexican Federal troops, of which
there are 200 stationed on the San
BernsrdinoIanch. Yesterday morn
ing the cowboys,70 in number, we'll
equipped, left Wilcox for the pur.
pose Of carrying out their threats.
and it is believed there will
be bloody work, as they
arc the most reckless gang
of desperadoes ever banded
together. The Mexicans will
either have to leave the place OF
make q hard fight. CouTiers have
been sent out to learn the result.
Fronteras Is about go miles from
Wilcox.
