The Mutt Trial.

Pittaburx. Is.-When the Mutt trial
opened this morning medical expert tee-
timony as to the prisoners mental con.
ditiop was continued. Several prominent
physicians we're examined, all OF whom
agree that at the time Of the snoos,ns
young Mutt was insane. At the c3nclu-
sion OF the expert testimony the LETTERS
that have given the Dukes Mutt case sucn
fearful promineace were produced oy .ne
defense. Before reading these the laoies
were requested to leave the court rcoW
and Young Mutt wai led out. 1t oeiog

were the same as were produced on the
Dukes trial, were listened 10 with oIeatn-
less silence, and created q profouno seh'

With the reading of the lstters, the de-
Tense closed and the prosecution com. :.

Several gentlemen repres enting the

Hon. d. F. Smith, Of Illinois, e1,Oon-
gressmann Grinnell, Of Iowa, and Judge
Gary, of Wyoming, called at the White
House. The President assured them OF
his hearty cooperation In their endesVor
to stamp out pleuro-pneumonia and
other diseases of cattle. He said he had
personally inquired into the matter and
the prevailing sentiment of mem ers OF
Congress was favorable % The desired ap-
preparation, without which nothing can
be done. Mr. Smith, Of 1llinois, said 1t
was matter which the States could not
regulate, and this was the reason the
power Of the Federal government was
invoked. BE further stated that one in
fected beef in The stock yards in Chicago
would do more damage and entail greater
loss upon stock rsisers Of this countrv
than did the great fire upon the citizens
Of Chicago. Judge Cary said If ever dis

The Heather Question.

Washington, 1s.-The Secretary
Of the Treasury sent to the Senate
to-day copies of correspondence
touching the operation of the Chi
nese restriction act. 1t shows that
since the date the act went into
operation numerous troublesome
questions have arisen as to the right
of the Chinese to exemption from
Its operation. The most important
of these questions appears to be re-
specting the transit across the
country from New York to San
Francisco of Chinaman resident in
Cuba and the West India Island
who wished to go home to China by
the overland route to San Fran
cisco, some of them desiring also the
privilege Of being allowed to return.
