WASHINGTON. June 29.--With the Senate
engaged ON the legislative bill and the
House on the naval bill, and with no i'm
nortant committees in session on either
side OF the Capitol, there was little done
to-day worth chronichng.
GUiTEAC's LAST DAY.
A correspondent who visited the Jail to-
day reported TO me that Guiteau was be-
having himself, and keeping up at least
semblance Of courage. His counsel ana
spiritual adviser were there, and the officers
OF the law were quietly completing the
preparations for the execution. DR.. Mary
Walker is greatly excited, and wouid IKE
IN see the President in GuiteaWs behalf,
while Mrs. Lockwood says to hang nun
will be a heathenish murder. Iickets 10
tbn execution have been issued to the
representatives OF leading dailics.
THE FISHERIES OF THE CHESAPEAKE.
The bill TO regulate the fishing Tor man
haden. out Of which oil and fish guano are
made. has been discussed at great length
nv the Senate Committee on Foreign Kela-
tons. 1t prohibits the catching OF 'heSe
fish for the purposes named within TWO
miles OF shore, for the reason that ny SO
doing II Is claimed the food OF FISH Is de-
stroved and a vast number OF food-hsh
taken. The fishermen who have been mere
denv tbis One Of them said incidentally
that he had rather have the nsh
and oysters OF the Chesapeake bay
than all the gold and silver mines in the
United States. This recalls Governor
Wise's estimate Of the value OF the oyster
iundum. 1t is stated that fleets OF sail
vessels and steamers are engaged III catch
inc manhaden, and that nets rs large ana
rs deep as the Capitol are used. Five MIL
lions Of capital is invested in this industry,
the value OF which is already appreciated
along the coast of Virginia.
THE RESULT OF Mr.. Combines MISSION.
While the Commissioner OF immigration,
the ship-owners, and all concerned, desire
the passage Of bill regulating the carry
ing Of passengers on ocean steamers, the
ship-owners claim that the bill now in the
hands Of the President will stop them from
bringing immigrants 10y reason of the inn
practicability of its provisions. Mr.. Conk-
linz has presented this view to the Presi-
dent. and il is SAID the President will re-
r1rn: TO Congress the bill with his oblec-
tons.
