ever, the course Of question and reply
W insist upon his position in relation
to the Deity being thoroughly under
stood.
The shrewdnoss of the prisoner In de.
tecting and anticipating any point which
might be made against him WAS a
marked feature of the Investigation,
JudR@ Porter pressed him very closely
to fix the day when he received his al.
legged "InSpiration" to remove the
President, and Guteau finally shrieked
out:
''To remove all this loose talk, I want
you to know that would have removed
the president al any time between the
middle of June and the Pad of July if |
had found an opportunity. would
have done it for the good of the Ameri.
can people"
Gniteau was permitted to indulge
his passion for talking upon the pend.
ing political situation, at the time of
the shooting, until speaking of the
presidents ingraiitude to Grant and
Conkling, he was led by Judge Porter
to admit that 'lngratitule is the basest
of crmes." Judge Porter-Stop there.
what would you have thought of your
act in killing tho President had he
given you the Par's cousuIship instead
Of having refused it?
Gniteau had previously said that
Garfield was his (prisoner's 'per.onal,
and po itical freud and, fearing evident
ly that .ome trap was being set for him
hestaied for moment, then with great
emphasis said, Il want to JUS fasten
you solid right here. ] would not
have taken the Paris consulship after
June |, if had been appointed to it,
aud the President and Secretary Blaine
had both be.eecbed me on their knees
to take it. had a; that time resolved to
remove the president for the good of the
Amtri an people.
At II o'clock recess was taken for
one hour.
Judge Porter resumed the crosJeS-
and began with the question "Do you
Inean to support Mr.. Blaine tor the
next president?
Guiteau answered, 81 never gave the
matter much attention"
Witness had some idea that he would
assist Blaine i he gDt the Paris CONSUL
sEp, hut a, he (blainc) had been twice
8 slaughtered by the convention for hls
record, did lot think he would
evr- be nominated. Witness felt Il deep
interest in Garfield at the time of his
"You tickle me and | will
tickle you, is the practice and theory
among politicians.
Witness wanted it understood that his
feelings were entirely different previous
tp May 30, from what they were at the
time when he resolved to remove the
President.
81 don't want you," said Guiteau,
so twist my letters, written before the
}oth of May, to work against me, and
you can't do it either
Judge Porter, without noticing the
evident irritation of Gnteau's manner,
his questions, when the wit
ness, with a sneer, exclaimed: "Oh
you need not look 50 fierce at me. just
make your statements in slow, Z nial
way, and we will get along better
Witness frequently refused to answer
questions, and angrily retprted that he
would not have his letters twisted
gaiISt him.
Without bringing his cross-examina-
ion to close the court adjourned.

What the Champion Ship Builder
John Roach II al 10 say about II
RelNre The lar LII COnYenfian.

During the evening session OF the Tar
III Convention in New York on Wtdnes-
day, Mr.. John Roach was given the
floor, and he made Il few practical re-
marks on the Importance Of protecting
American shipping interests.
In commencing his speech Mr.. Roach
said that If changes i'll ourrevenue laws
are necessary, how shall they be made?
There is scarcely an Industry i'll the
whole country which is not affected by
those laws in some way. The object Of
this Convention, 1helelJrG is to make "A
careful investlg CATION of the revenue
laws and their OPERATION, and see
whether they are for the benefit Of the
whole country. Mr.. Roach then refer
red to the iron productions of the
country, and said that in 1870 the
quantity reached 1908 ,7Os tons; and
smelt this into pig required 3,169, lll
tons of i limestone, 1891 ,5jI tons of co 4,
aud 2,277 ,555 tons of coke.
Alrer referring TO the building Of 10
comotives, mepIioning particulal y the
Baldwin works, in Philadelphia, he
said :
1t is pressing question, that must be
answered soon, in regard to our ship
ping. What We want is al American
policy wisely framed in our own nation
al Interest,"; a policy that will remove
the unjust law that compels an Ameri
can ship IN the foreign trade to carry
our mails, bat refuses to pay 1t rea-
sonable compensation. Therefore let
our Government, place us on equal CON

with foreign capital with a fair pros
pect of return and guarantee that
