Coroner Patterson held an inquest yes
terday upon the body of William Messer,
whose killing at the Baltimore and Potomac
RailroOd depot was mentioned in yesterdays
REPUBLICAN,. After hearing the testimony
of Charles Frere, brakeman; Charles Stro-
bel, switchman and Charles Kline, an ex-
pressman, the jury returned the following
verdict: "That Messcr came to his death
about o'clock p. m. on the 5th instant, near
the crossing on Sixth street and Baltimore
and Potomac depot, on the sidewalk, by be-
ing run over by a baggage car coming in the
depot attached to the switching engine. The
jury believe from evidence adduced, that the

man at the crossing. If the company had ex-
ercised due precaution the accident would not
have happened"

Striking Against the government.
WASHINGTON, June l0.-For several years
the printers employed at the government
printing office have been demanding an in
crease from forty to sixty cents per hour
for time worked after midnight They at
tempted to coerce the late public printer,
Detrees, into yielding to their demands, but
as the law fixed the price paid for
composition, he declined to be dictated to
or TO make any concessions, and by his
frmness prevented a strike. The printers
have become bolder now since Mr.. Rounds
became public printer, probably because
he is a strong believer in labor organiza'
tons and labor unions, and have de-
.termined to renew their former de-
mands, and to force compliance or insti-
tute a strike. They have served notice
upon him that unless he allows sixty cents
for time-work per hour, after midnight,
they will quit their cases and stop all work
in the composing room. What the out
come of the matter will be cannot now be
safely predicted If strike occurs Con-
gress viii undoubtedly enact some legisla-
ton so as to prevent the Office from being
controlled by the typographical Union, the
feeling in the Senate being very strong
upon this point The act of February 10,
1871, prohibits the public printer from
paying more than fifty cents per thousand
ems and forty cents per hour for time work
TO printers and book-binders.

GUlTEAU.
He Finally Gives Up All Hopes.

Hf "hhN-
WASHINGTON, June 11.-At last the assas'
sin Guiteau has about given up hope. He
said to-day that he did not think Reed
could do anything for him. The only
person now" said Guiteau, who can save
Gods man is Mr.. Arthur. | shall look to
him for pardon" 1t was evident from
further remarks of Guiteau that he did not
have much faith in Arthur pardoning him.
He has become more mild now in his ac-
tions and acts more like an ordinary crimi-
nal who is nearing his last days of life.
Day before Yesterday the assassin expressed
a desire to have spiritual advisers, as ne
had been besieged by ministers represent
ing every denomination. He therefore
wanted the office performed by one man.
Guiteau having expressed desire Tor
congregational and Presbyterian ministers
in Washington. The list was furnished
and he selected the Rev. Mr.. Hicks, OF the
tabernacle. Mr.. Hicks visited the Jail last
evening and conversed and prayed with
the assassin for some time. Guitean re-
ouested the reverend gentleman to call up
ON him two or three times week until
the day of execution. At Guiteau,S request
no other minister will be allowed to see
him. Bentley and Jones, the young reviy-
alists, who had made arrangements to call
upon him, will not do so now. The assas-
sin appeared more peaceful and calm this
morning than he has for sometime past
Mr.. Reed said this evening that he still
thought the chances for saving Guiteau
were good. He admitted that the time was
short for much work to be done. II have
a GOOD many guns to fire yet said Reed
II shall get them all off too"

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Comment on the
alleged probability Of Mr.. Conkling enter
ing the Cabinet of President Arthur con.
tinues to be freely made since the return of
the President from New York As recent
ly mentioned, nothing would give the
President more pleasure than TO be the
means of inducing Mr.. Conkling to re-enter
public life. But il can be here stated most
positively that Mr.. Conkling, unless he
should undergo a radical change of opin-
ion, will not consent TO come back to pub
lie life through an executive appointment
When the President was in New York Mr..
CoRkling expressed to him his sincere
publication at his kindly offers, but he
said he felt more happy and contented as
he was now; that he fully recognized the
unjust hostility exhibited toward him in
the Republican party, and that even if his
individual inclination should tempt him to
accept the Presidents offer he would de-
cline because of his resolve to do nothing
to embarraSs the administration Of the
President.
The House Committee on the Judiciary
have authorized Representative Humphrey,
of Wisconsia, to report to the House bill
to establish a uniform system OF bank
rqptcy, and to have it made a special order
for or, early day in December. The bill
provides that D., c,tition creditors in cases of
involuntary bankruptcy ssaall GIVE Siye security
before instituting action, and that il the
suit be decided in favor Of the alleged
bankrupt damages shall be recoverable. In
case OF fraud any person may be adjudged
bankrupt, but for failure to pay within a
limited time or to dissolve an attachment,
farmers shall not be so adjudged.
The bill further provides for the
appointment Of commissioners of
bankruptcy, one in each Congressional dis
trict, if necessary, who shall be paid sala-
~ Of 5000 each. Every commissioner
shall be ex officio trustee in bankruptcy
when the value of the estate is less than
81 coo and in all other cases unless the
creditors ask for the appointment OF
trustee. There shall be in each district
supervisor of bankruptcy, whose duty it
shall be to examine into all the bank.
ruptcy proceedings. No fees are provided
for any officers except the trustee and clerk.
The fees of the latter are limited by law
and those of the former are to be fixed by
the creditors or by the commissioner. No
debtor is to be arrested by warrant on
complaint that he is about to depart until
he shall have been summoned to show
cause. Mutual debts and credits may be
set off. There is to be no appeal from the
final decree in bankruptcy in a Circuit
Court 'sxcept upon a certificate of division
of opinion between the justices of that

others were saved by clinging TO some OF
the wreckage, and four were drowned.
