Confirmation of the Tariff Com
mission.

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
New YORK, June 22.-The Times has the
following: DR.. George NJ. Beard left this
city for Washington last evening, bearing
a petition which has been in circulation in
the case of Guiteau, praying for a reprieve
and for the creation of a scientific COM
mission to determine upon the insanity Of
the condemned man. The petition has re-
ceived the signature OF many medical ex-
perts who are persuaded of Guiteau's in
sanity and Of the propriety Of such a COM
mission. DR.. Beard said that a large vol
ume of new evidence as to the insanity of
Guiteau would be presented at the inter-
view Of the petitioners, which is appointed
for IL O'Clock to-day. A portion of this
evidence relates to his exploits in Califor-
mia several years ago, and will, DR.. Beard
thinks, establish the fact that he has been
insane for many years. The case will be
presented in detail by DR.. Beard and his
coadjutators. DR.. Beard claims that no
scientific commission would for a moment
assert the responsibility of Guiteau as a
sane man, and that if such a commission
is appointed the avoidance Of the death
penalty is a foregone conclusion.
