The Assassin.
Last nights evening papers published a
detailed account Of the resurrection oi
Guiteau's body. its transfer to the Army
Medical Museum, and the preparation ot
the bones for articulation. Rev. Mr.. Hicks
still claims the ownership of the body, and
the skeleton will not be exhibited until he
formally presents it to the museum.
Every body Is Sick of Ii.
Col. Ingersoll has been hard at work for
the past two days preparing reply TO
Special Attorney Wells statement for the
government in the Star Route cases. He
finished his story this evening, and prob
ably will withhold its publication until
Monday. 1t would have gone out last
night if he could have succeeded in finding
purchasers among the correspondents here.
Agents of IngersOll spent the day in trying
TO iRdaee correspondents TO pay $3.50 for the
Saiuable manuscript. Finding no one who
was willing to invest this amount the
agents came down in the price and offered
at 800, $50 and finally S., but even at this
low figure the colonel's reply went beg
ging. One correspondent offered three
cent postage stamp for copy, but the offer
was refused.
The Tariff Com, .5sioD.
A stenographic report OF the statements
made before the Tariff Commission is
about completed. 1t is expected that with
in a week it will be in type and ready for
distribution by the Government printing
Office. Under the law creating the commits
sion it was made the duty OF the public
printer to distribute copies OF the testimony
to Senators and representatives. Just as fast
as printed. The commission travelled about
seven thousand miles; held public sessions
for about seventy days, and heard
the statements Of between five hundred and
six hundred persons. The printed record
will fill about 1000 pages. The recon-
mendations of the commission will not be
to Congress at the opening of the next ses-
sion. 1t is the opinion of persons who
have had unusually good opportunities of
Judging of the sentiment of the commits
sion that changes in the existing tariff will
be recommended.
The abandonment of compound dutiesin
favor of adyalOrem rates combined with
specific rates, will be recommended. 1t is
also probable that important changes in
custom house regulations will be suggested.
No change will be recommended in the
duties on china ware. The reimpose of a
duty on quininc as persstently urged on
the part of manufacturers of chemicals,
will not be advised. The duty on raw wool
will remain about as at present. The action
of the CreSson Springs convention OF per-
sons engaged in the steel and iron business,
in favor OF increased rates of duty on iron
ore and iron and steel in their various
stages will hardly be endorsed by the COM
mission. In fact the general result of the
report of the commission will be in favor
of making the least possible number OF
changes. The postponement OF general
tariff revision is indicated until the regu-
lar assemblage OF the next Congress.
