THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Guiteau's Hopes Blighted-The Court in Banc to Sustain the Verdfct-A New Scheme Devised by His CounseI-The Selection of the Tariff Commission Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, May 15.-The court in banc have definitely agreed to sustain the verdict
 of the lower court in the Guiteau case. The
 public decision will be deferred until next week. MT. Reed Guiteau's counsel, how ever, says that if the sentence is sustained he shall appeal to the United States Supreme Court for writ of habeas corpus on the ground of want of jurisdiction, and inas- much as the court does not meet until Octo- Der he will ask respite from the President for Guiteau until after the United States Su- preme Court can hear the argument on the application for the writ. If any Justice of the Supreme Court should grant such writ,
 and there are rumors that some of the jus- tices doubt the jurisdiction of a court here to try Guiteau, as President Garfield died at
 Elberon, N J., it is of course possible that a
 respite might be granted and that Guiteau
 might secure at least temporary lease of life.
 Guiteau's hopes of big sale for his book ''Truth' have been disappointed, not over one hundred copies having as yet been sold. Three Indians from Indian Territory con- plained to Secretary Teller to day that Indi- an Commissioner Price had refused them an audience and further that MT. Price had in- troduced bill in Congress taking away their lands and giving them to the Arrapahoes and l |yl- was because the son of Commissioner Price was connected with the Texas Pacific railroad company and that road favors the latter Indi- ans having the land. Both charges are de- nied by MT. Price.

 The usual cautions to steamboat inspectors to increase their vigilance during the coming excursion season will be issued from the in- spector generals office this week.

 The tariff commission bill was signed by the President today. The appointments under this bill will be considered at the Cabi- net meeting to morrow. It IS probable that the President will appoint the commission CTS within the next two weeks. It had at first
 been the intention to designate specialists for the nine places, but upon investigation it has haan 1jso0vare6 that fhara more special industries and interests in the country than the nine which, under such an arrangement, could be represented upon the commission, and the President is understood for this reason to have abandoned this plan. The Presldent's purposes as to any partlcu- lar commissioner are not definitely known. but there is pretty good reason to believe that ex Secretary Kirkwood will be made chairman of the commission and that Mir. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, will be mem Der of it.. One reason why the plan as to specialists has been abandoned is that it has been ascertained that some of the gentlemen who had been suggested as the proper repre- sentatives of different industries could not possibly be confirmed by the Senate. Sev- eral Senators, referring to names that had been mentioned in this connection, said that those gentlemen, while they were thoroughly informed to special class of subjects, l were in reality nothing more than paid attor- n0yS or duVOCaGSS huu HI SOHS luSGduCSS lobby agents of those industries, and that such men could not be confirmed. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs held an informal meeting this mornlng-a quorum not being present-and decided to 1 hold a meeting tomorrow for the purpose of reviewing the testimony taken by the sub l committee in New York, and to determine l what matters they will question MT.

MT. l Shipherd has been summoned to appear be- 1 fore the committee on Wednesday at 10 l o'clock.

 J. R. Miner It is learned that one of the
 objects of direct interview between Judge
 Wylie of the criminal court and
 the wish of the latter to know whether or not they sEould
 accept as evidence certain reports submitted
 by MT. Patrick H. Woodward and his state
 ments made in connection herewith. These
 are the reports collected from inspectors of
