Dir. WALTER EEMPsTER, who was
one Of the government experts In the
Guiteau trial. has made q sensa alton.
al statement relative to the insanity
OF the assassin of President Garfield.
IL has always been claimed that the
prosecution In the Guitcau case was
inciciless and that the resources Of
the government were combined to
take his life, justifably or not DR..
kempstcr states that so far from the
truth Is this assertion the govern.
ment instructed Its own experts to
ind Guitcau insane II possible, In
order that II should not go into his.
tory that a President Of the United
States had been shot in time OF peace
by responsible man. Each expe 1T
studied Guiteau for himself, and
without knowledge OF the conclusion
reached by any Of his colleagues. DR..
kempstcr further alleges that after
his death competent and disintcrest.
cd examination by two specialist,
showed that the brain Of the assassin
was free from symptom, Of insanity.
Dr. Kempstcr's statement ought to
put at rest the widely held belief
that there was vindictivcness on the
part OF the Federal prosecution to.
ward the wretch who inflicted upon
the history Of the United States so

ONE OF the best things about fair
Is tho opening 1t gives the entire
family for an outing together which
combines pleasure and profit. The
farmers wife IL as much benefited by
the change as the farmer. She en-
joys the talk over their common
tribulatl0ns and experiences and goes
home with new current Of thought
and new plans for home comfort.
Even the children wake up a little
not as much as their parents, for
children are 50 full of life they do
not need stirring; but tho cattle, the
prize vegetables, the needlework, and
all the exhibits have their influence
upon the young minds and make
farming seem more like business dc.

ments serve good end, though they
may have nothing to do with agricul.
ture pure and simple. In life, work
and play must be Joined to keep the
worker In vigor, and 1t Is we'll that
some attention is paid at fairs to this
need OF mankind TO see good
horse race hurts no man, and there Is
something very stirring to the look.

fair Is secondary to the races 1t is a
mistake, but when the fair comes

The speaker of the House announced

4:43, ad ourned uutil Monday.
The first meeting for several weeks Of
the House ways and means committee
was held this afternoon. MIR. Wilson the
chairman of the committee, came back
from West Virginia in order to be
present The purpose Of the meeting
was to consider the bill introduced yes
terday by Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee.

Dill which makes free alcohol used in the
arts and In medicinal compounds. t was
ordered to be reported fayorably without
division.
MIR. Tarsney Of Missouri then called up
oil introduced by him on Monday last
which provides that lead ore, in which
the component of chief value is silver

10 enter free of duty. The republicans
opposed the bill, and it was defeated by a
strict party votes to 3.
Before the meeting adjourned, Chair
man Wilson announced that he had been
informed by the officials of the treasury
department that the paragraph in the
tarlu oil relating TO diamonds could be
SO construed as TO permit the free en-
trance of those articles and said that at
subsequent meeting a bill cor
rectlng the paragraph would be called
up. This let Mr. Reed of Maine to
remark sarcastically that the poor people
OF the country ought not to be denied the
privilege of free diamonds If they wanted
them. This observation caused a general
laugh, which was followed Immediately
by adjournment of the committee.

WATCHING THE WAR.
Interest in Prospective Hostile Meet.
ing of Armored Ships.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. l6.-The Oriental
papers which were received by the
steamer Tacoma yesterday differ as to
the relative strength Of Japan and China,
but the opinion prevails that, all consid-
cred, they are on tolerably equal terms
The war will be watched with interest
as the first occasion when steel armored
vessels will be in conflict English papers
m Japan ridicule the claims of Japan TO
great naval victory in the first engage
ment, as the vessels engaged were in no
way equal.
The King of Siam was reported to be
dead when the Tacoma left. and her mai
estys ship Rattler had gone into Siamese
waters. Since the naval fight at Gazan,
the running of japanese steamers be-
tween Jansen and t'usan has been sus-
pended. General travel on the smaller
Oriental lines is much broken, and news
OF an authentic nature is difficult TO OBJ
tain. That the western world knows
more about the Corean situation than can
be learned either in Hong Kong or Yoka-
hama was the verdict of passengers on
the Tacoma after looking over late dis
patches in the local papers.
HEAVY PRICES FOR HEADS.

ises 1000 taels or about 81, 200. One hun
dred taels will be paid for the head of a
Japanese officer and 100 taels for the
head of Japanese private"
The Central News correspondent also
says "a fleet of eight vessels, westward
bound, was reported as passing Chez Foo
on Aug. IA. Chinese officers are leaving
the country in large numbers to Join the
Chinese troops entering Corea. The mer-
chant steamships Taku and Smith have
given up foreign protection and have gone
back to the Chinese flag. They left this
port yesterday with troops and rice. Ii
is reported here that France and Russia

Japanese and that England and Germany
have one favorable to China.

When the reading of the letter was

At the conclusion of Judge Reagan's re-
marks the chairman announced that the

DOUBT IN MANY MINDS.
Explanation by the Treasury Depart
ment of the New Laws Action,

Explanation by the Treasury Depart
ment of the New Laws Action.
Washington, Aug. l6.-Doubt still ex-
lists in the minds of many importers as TO
the assessment Of duty on goods arriving
in this country prior to or on the day the
tariff bill becomes effective, and not be-
ing formally entered until after the bill
has become law. In reference to this
confusion it is explained at the treasury
department that the bill will not 90 into
effect until the day after the Presidents
signature is affixed or the law becomes
operative through the expiration of the
ten days limit. In other words, if
the bill were signed to-day, Thurs
day, Aug. 10, it would become
operative one second after midnight, or
at the beginning Of Friday, Aug n.
Therefore, as the law does not become
operative until the day following its ap-
prOval, or the last day of the limitation,
goods reaching a United States port on
the days Of signature, etc, are subject to
assessments under the Mckinley tariff.
and it will not avail the importers any
thing by waiting until the following day
to make the entry. In case, however,
where goods arrive on the day preceding
the date Of effect and are assessed under
the Mckinley law, a refunding OF any ex-
cess Of duty over the Senate law will
almost certainly be made.

Columbus. o. Aug. 16.-There are prob
ably $500 people, including delegates and
visitors,a at the populist state convention in
Nelson's grove, near the city, to-day The
representati tion is sectional rather than
general, however, aud number of con-
gressional districts are not represented at
all. Hugh Cavanaugh of Cincinnati pre-
sides, and G. r.. Martin of Tiftin who was
chosen secretary of the Mcbride state
labor convention. was made temporary
secretary, indicating that fusion will
be made.
J. S. Coxey arrived this morning and is
the central figure in the convention. If
he were not a candidate for congress, he
would no doubt be chosen to lead the
state ticket. The work of the morning
session was preliminary for the most
part.
This afternoon the committee on reso-
lutions, acting, under Instructions from
the convention, with the resolutions com
mittee of the Mcbride state labor con-
vention, reported the platform adopted
by the latter convention yesterday, and
supplemented planks indorsing the plat
form of the Omaha tiOn, fayoring
liberal pensions to honora bly, discharged
union soldiers. indorslng the CoXey good
roads proposition and declaring against
the issuing of interest-bearng bonds.
This was adopted by the convention.
The labor convention delegates were in
vited to sit in the convention, and will do
so tomorrow, when this platform will be
again adopted and state ticket be nom
nominated John Seitz of Tifin was
made permanent chairman and G. X.
Martin of Findlay secretary.
J. S. Coxey, in a speech, denounced
both the old parties for their failure to
keep their promises to the people, and
their subservience to trusts and corpora
tions. The parade this evening was a
failure, there being not more than a
thousand people in line.

Session Draws Near.

Session Draws Near.
Washington, Aug 16.-The large un-
occupied spaces on the floor on the hall Of
the House of Representatives today,
demonstrated more thoroughly than any
other fact could, probably, that the end
Of the session is near at hand. The at
tendance was about the same as on the
Friday night pension session. and the
presence Of a quorum, it is believed, could
not have been obtained. All business
transacted from this time forward will
have 10 be done by unanimous consent.

priatiou bill added by the Senate, pro
vidng for the payment of a judgment in
favor Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company for the transportation Of troops,
mails and merchandise for the United
States.
The payment Of the money was bitterly
opposed by mum bers Of the representatives
and strongly urged by others, and by
vote Of 30 10 Al the House refused to CON
cur in the amendment A few minutes
later however, on the recommendation
OF the conferecs, IL was agreed 10 pass
the bill with reduction Of the amount Of
this item 70 81 1890
An effort was made 20 secure immed-
late consideration for the bill TO prohibit

United States, passed to-day by the Sen
ate; but objection was made by Messrs.

measure was referred to the committee on
