THE MATURING BONDS.

No Decision Reached About the Four and
 Ono Half per Cents.
 WASHINGTON, June 10.-Contrary to expectations the Cabinet reached no de- cision respecting the funding of the 1-2 per cent. bonds due Sept. 12 In fact the subject came in for little discussion. Secretary Foster urged that the offer of the New York bankers to fund the en- tire $51, ,00O, 900 of 1-2 per cents. into 3 per cents. on Sept be adopted, and he backed up his argument with figures to show that it was to the best interests of disagreement to adopt it.
 The offer of about dozen Western banks to accept 1-2 per cents in lieu of the 12 per cents. seemed more feasible to the President and Secretary Rusk and they so stated. But as there was no need of hurry in deciding this matter, it was laid aside in order that some dip1o- matic questions might be considered. The impression prevails to-day that the Cabinet will join with Secretary Foster, and that the offer of the New York bank CTS will be accepted.

THE sARTINE AUTOPSY.
Prof. Abbott Refuses to Give an Opinioy
 of the Peculiar Case.

AsBuRY PARK, N. J., June 10.-Prof. Frank Abbott, jr., bacteriologist of the Loomis Laboratory of New York city, conducted the autopsy on the remains of Lawyer Bartine, who died the other day of hydrophobia resulting from a cats bite, at the receiving vault in Mt. Pros- pect Cemetery.
 Doctors Samuel Johnson, Hugh S. Falmouth, Henry Mitchell and George F. Wilbur were present, also Mrs Dr. Ella Prentiss Upham, the fiance of Mir. Bartine.
 The brain was badly congested. The left hemisphere showed a hemorrhage from the arteries at the base of the brain and the left side of the brain was we'll filled with coagulated blood. There was no lesion of the brain tissues, which proved that death was due to hemor- rhage. The left brain also showed slight evidence of atheromatous of the arteries.
 The professor remarked that he had found such conditions of the arteries in cases of persons who had died of hydro phobia. A small piece of the brain was taken to New York for experimental purposes. Professor Abbott refused to give an opinion of the case

 Thousands of Dollars

The Principal Officers of the Omaha and Swatara Implicated-United States Oa- ciaIs Made the Charges-The Question
 of Bringing Criminal Proceedings Now
 Being Conside cred by a Customs Collector
 WASHINGTON, June TO- "A dispatch from San Francisco says 8 scandal in- volving officers of the United States teamships Omaha and Swatara has been made public and created a sensation. They are charged with smuggling valua- sle silks, satins, etc., from Japan.
 The charges were the result of the in- Westigations by Special Deputy Agent Evans at Mars Island.

 The total value of the smuggled arti- cles runs into thousands of dollars. The principal officers of the two vessels are implicated.
 The captain of the Omaha is held re- sponsible for permitting large quantities of merchandise to brought over in his ship.
 One officer is known to have sold $500 worth of silks and bric-a-brac.
 Among the packages of goods seized is one addressed to No. 1519 Thirteenth street, Washington.

HE SURPRISED THE COURT.
An Italian Murderer Throws Himself on

An Italian Murderer Throws Himself on
 the Mercy of the Judge.
 CAMDEN, N. J., June 10.- Philippe Dominica Cocco, the Italian murderer, took the breath away from Prosecutor Jenkins and the judge in the Camden County Court by pleading guilty to an indictment for murder and throwin 2 himself on the mercy of Judge Garrison.
 Cocco killed his sister-in-law, Miss Giovanni Dianore at Cedar Brook, Wins low township, last March.
 MT. Wartman, who was appointed counsel for Cocco said that the recent lynching in New Orleans had so inflamed public sentiment that it would be, in his judgment, exceedingly hazardous for his client to trust to the calm, dispassionate judgment of 12 citizens. He therefore chose rather to trust to the unbiased and fair decision of a learned court and would plead guilty, leaving it for the court to hear evidence so as to fix the grade of guilt
