 WASHINGTON, June 3O.--The curtain has fallen on the great act of the national trage- dy. Within two days of twelve months after General Garfeld's body received the bullet from Guiteau's pistol, his assassin has been slain the altar of justice and given up a life that was worthless when weighed in the balan e with that which went out from the wound he inflicted. The city to-day wore an air of great event being enacted in it's midst. But it was in the District Jail, where the final act in the great drama was being height. uore were gathered the officials who were entrusted with the task of execution, and all who either from personal or public reasons were associated in the act. After a restless night the prisoner rose shortly after 5 o'clock, breakfasting at 6:3O, for which he ate steak, eggs, potatoes and other breakfast dishes. He then had a talk with Rev. MT. Hicks, in which he said ''I don't think I can go through this ordeal without weeping not because of any great weakness, for the principle in me is strong, but because am nearer the other world. I hold to the idea that God inspired me-"

GU1TEAU's LAST NIGHT ON EARTH.

Guiteau's last night on earth one of the most beautiful ever seen in Washing gton. The broad slanting shadows of cornice and abutment formed wei'd shadows on the dusky walls, and the whitewashed tree trunks and neighboring fences added to the ghost like visions of the horde of colored prison CTS huddled in the female quarters over the main entrance. A bomb had burst in the midst of the assembly by the arrival during the day of crazy woman whose alternating yells and shrieks suggested dire possibil- ities and kept the keepers on con stant tour of inspection. Her duct melted many others, and out in the still night rang shouts like the following: ''see dat goblin he come for Guiteau sure." ''Oh my king Ise glad I ain't going to be hung to-morrer. 'Pray de Lord dat rope may break.'' ''Good enough for such trash anyhow" and many more far less worthy of repetition. The maniac burst into 8 fit of unintelligible boisterous laughter, so loud and long that it became almost unbearable. A guard spoke briskly from below "Stop that noise." Down came the reply: 'Shut up, fellah, I latf $ much s I please. pse Gods woman, am.'' No use," said the guard, Sthey are all Gods own, now, man and wo- man" Guiteau was restless and nervous. He asked his watch what those bideous noises meant. The death watch, Thomas Johnson, said they were caused by a crazy woman. "Poor thing,'' said Guiteau, tell the guards not to let her hurt herself"

Warden Crock CT first made his appearance, and moment later the familiar figure of Guiteau was seen. His face was pallid, and he muscles about his mouth moved nervously; other than this there were no signs of faltering The pro- cession moved quickly to the scaffold, and Guiteau ascended the steps with as much steadiness could be expected from & man whose arms were tightly pinioned behind him. At the last step he faltered for mo- ment, but was assisted by the two officers who walked one upon either side.

 The scene about the jail WAS unique. The office of the jail was given completely up to the large corps of newspaper reporters, and a squad of them scribbled away every ta- ble, window sill and every projection that of- fered rest for paper. Many newspaper re- porters remained all night The private of flee of the warden was transformed tempora rily into telegraph office, and before o'clock eight instruments were clicking a merry accompaniment to the gloomy prepar ations going on inside the jail. At o'clock there was 8 constant stream of persons com- ing into the jail. The scene outside was like that of some great gala occasion. Some en terprising colored men had erected booths, from which they dispensed lemonade, cakes and other refreshments to the weary and thirsty people who began before o'clock to assemble in the road in front of the jail. Mounted messengers speeding to and from the city, and carriages bringing visitors to the jail kept continual cloud of dust hov- ering over the road that winds through the wide common that lies between the jail and the city. At 10 o'clock Guiteau took bath, none but the death watch' being with him at the time At 10 o'clock about seventy po- licemen, mounted and on foot, under mand of Captain Vernon and Lieutenants Boteler, Austin and Guy, arrived in front of the jail The crowd was very light, orderly and quiet.

tary of the navy over the subject,

ported by the committee of $4,000,
making the appropriation for work
$4,000, was adopted without
objections. The appropriation re-
ported by the committee for a new
building and for a pension bureau
was adopted with a proyisO that the
secretaries Of war and the interior
and Gen. Meigs, select a site upon
any public reservation. The appro
priatiOn for improving the capital
grounds, which the committee re-
duced from $4,000 to 50 1000, was
fixed at SIS, 600; the provisions for
continuing the work on a perma-
nent approaches and for pay of the
landscape architect, which the COM
mittee had stricken out, were re-
stored.
The bill Wal then temporarily
laid aside.

ton bill, concerning the cOmpeti-
ton of the unfinished irOnclads,

ate amendments were insisted upon,
