Washington, %. The Presiden
has decided to hear no more applica
tions for interference in Guiteau'
behalf. He has accorded the rela
tlveS and counsel Of the condemned
man a full hearing, but says he can
not listen to the appeals of outsider.
Tor interference. Scores Of crank.
have visited the White House
during the present week, from
the man with patent gallowS
to the woman with al
original theory of the cause
OF the assassination. DR.. Mary
Walker harangued a crowd in the
east room of the White House this
morning on the injustice of hanging
GUlteau. The Grafton had been pre-
pared for the Presidents ears but he
Wouldnot receive her. Tomorrow
Mrs. Scoville will cali upon the as
saSsin at jail. 1t is not known
whether she will be ad-
mitted to the cell or not. Her
husband has said she is in
sane and would kill somebody if
her brother was hanged. John Gut
teau denies the truth of this asser-
ton veAemently, and says Mrs. SEQ
vile is prepared to calmly face the
inevitable.
Fears are expressed that some of
Guiteau's relatives may secretly
convey to him the means Of COM
mitting suicide. The Jail officials
scout this idea. They do not be-
lieve the assassin has the courage to
destroy himself if he had means at
hand, and they think he prefers
meeting death on the scaffold, re-
garding himself as a martyr.
New York, 29.-The Tribu1l8'S
Washington: A member Of the cab
met said, tonight, there was, at no
time, the remotest idea of granting
a reprieYe. The President and his
cabinet had been of one mind in this
point. The stories that represented
him as waYering or troubled by
doubts of the subject, were entirely
sensational

Guiteau's COUNSEL, Rev. DR.. Hicks
and Dr. Beard arr Ted at the jail.
After an Interview with Warden
Croker, Reed and Hicks were adj
mitted to Gqiteau's cell. A small
table was t(ken in upon which
Reed will viii write Guiteau's last
will and testament. Soon after
they entered the prisoners cell
John W. Guteau, Mrs. Scoville
and her little laughter arrived at
the jail, and we're taken to the
warden's private Office, where, at
this hour they are still waiting an
opportunity to take leave Of the
prisoner. When told by the warden
his sister wished to see him. Gui-
teau remarked that he did not want
any crazy talk, but if she could
restrain herself he would bid her
an affectionate brothsrly farewell.
GUiteau told his guard this morning
that he felt first-rate and had no
idea he would be hanged on Friday 4.
The President has decided not to
enter into correspondence with Mrs.
Scoville. It is represented that Mrs.
Sceville intends to call upon the
President to make a personal APP
peal in her brther's behalf. Gui-
teau eats and sleeps well and is ap-
parently unconerned.

Jail, to-day, to Ollect COO. which she
said Guiteau owed her for washing.
One of the jail attendants passed in
the corridor ami communicated the
message to Giiteau, who handed
him SOC. will the remark: CAL
right; please give her that and tell
her I will payher the balance on
Monday"
While Reed was liz the cell an
attendant cane in and presented
Guiteau with large and beautiful
bouquet. "Wlere did that come
from?' asked he prisoner. "FrOm
your sister," the guard replied.
Guiteau pressed it to his lips and
wept bitterly for few minutes
and then suddenly conquered his
emotions ami exclaimed: "This
| does not become a man who il
about to meet his God fol
doing Gods will" This wa;
the only exhibition of tender
