| WASHINGTON, June 23.-At the secont
meeting Of the Cabinet to-day, rs your cor
respondent is reliably informed, it was dc
cided that no respite should be grantee
Gultcau, aud no executive ciemency inter
posed. Full and fair consideration wa!
given to the statements and arguments pre-
sented by the.medlcal men and others wllt
are here asking the murdercr's reprieve
and the conclusion arrived at wal
that there was nothing in them to war
rant interference with the judgment u!
It stands; that such Interference, wlilt
not in the interest Of humanity, would also
be In violation Of sound public policy which
cannot afford to encourage crime in
others by committing or mitigating penal
ties that, after fair trial, have been in
this instance already adjudged. The las
hope for Guitcan is therefore gone, and ht
will hang upon the day fixed for his exccu
ton. Who will be his hangman is known
only to Warden Crocker, and will ren,air
an unrevealed secret.
Secretary Lincoln said this evening thai
he was not prepared to state what was done
ut the Cabinet meeting relative 10 the Gu
teau respite, but the above is believed tt
DC correct statement. The meeting took
place at six o'clock.
Capt Geo. Harrison, private secretary O.
Senator Davis, leaves tomorrow for hi.
home at Deer Park, Nd, to remain for the
season.
A Republican member OF the Ways and
Means Committee said to-day that he was
apprehensive that the Democratic PROPOSE.
ton to reduce the tax on tobacco in all its
forms, and on fcrmented liquors, would be
carried, MS it would be impossible to pre-.
vent some Republicans from voting for it
The amount Of this additional reduction
would be about s4O,O0O,OOO.
In the debate ON The internal revenue
bill to-day Mr.. Wilson took very strong
grounds in favor Of striking out the clause
that abolishes tax on national bank, capi
tai, and making six per cent the maximum
rate OF interest on discounts. lie also gave
notice that he would back up his
opinions by Offering amendments to
this effect. There is no doubt q
feeling among the masses OF the people
that when the reduction Of taxation begins
We should begin ON articles on which peo
pie are most nearly interested. But in
prosecuting his proposed amendments, Mr.
Wilson will not only be confronted by a Re.
publican caucus, but by certain Democrats
like Stephens, who favor the abolition o
the internal revenue system in lots and
who, il they cannot gel. all they want, will
take what they can get. Besides, when il
comes 10 leeisluting about banks, these
corporations seem to shape things pretty
much 10 their own liking. Mr.. Wilson
however, is entitled 10 credit for bolll,
asserting his views, and will find consid
cradle popular sympathy in his undcrtak
ing. $bSa s. ss s=.
