READY' TO KILL KEMMLER.
niK ELECTRICAL APPARATUS IN POSITION
AND MONDAY PROBABLY THE DAY.
Auburn, X. Y'., August 2.—The final
preparations for the electracution of Wil
liam Kemmler are being completed today.
C. F. Barnes, city electrician of Rochester,
arrived in town yesterday afternoon and
immediately went to the prison, where he
has since been closseted with Warden
Durst on. Mr. Barnes will have charge of
the death dealing apparatus, aud will
probably be the one to push the fatal
switch.
The switchboard and other mecanical
appliances for controlling the current have
arrived from Dannemora Prison, where
they were sent for the execution of Cha
ldean. They have been placet! in position
in the death chamber, together with the
chair in which Kemmler will receive the
electric shock. Everything points to a
speedy execution of Kemmler’s sentence.
Although Warden Durston is silent on the
subject it is generally believed Kemmler
will die next Monday night. Ilis appetite
is gone, and it is only occasionally that he
is induced to indulge iu some delicacy pro
cured by the prison chaplain.
The invitations to be present at the ex
ecution have not yet been sent, but it is
understood . Warden Durston will send
them tomorrow. The same persons who
were invited in April will be here next
week, and the list includes the following
names: District Attorney Quinby and
Lawyer Hatch, of Buffalo; Drs. Spitzka,
Rockwell. McDonald and Brill; Maj. John
J. Jones and Mr. Matthew Byrnes, of New
Y'ork city: Drs. Ward and Nellis and Mr.
Henry L. Smith, of Albany; Drs. Fell,
Daniels and Southwick, of Buffalo; Surgeon
General Hungergord, of Stamford, Conn.,
Attorney General Hogan, of New York;
General W. F. Lansing, of Middleville,
Herkimer county, N. Y.; City ^Electrician
C. F. Barnes, of Rochester: Dr. Argue, of
Corning, and Michael Conway, of Albany.
There is a rumor afloat tonight that the
Westinghouse people will procure an in
junction to restrain Warden Durston from
using their machine to kill Kemmler, us
ing as an argument the fact that the dyna
mo was purchased under false pretences,
and that the State is not possessed of a
clear title.
CHOLERA IN BADA.TOSE.
Lisbon, August 2.—Cholera has ap
peared in the Spanish province of Bada-
jose. on the Portuguese frontier. A rigor
ous cordon has been established ou the
frontier by the Portuguese authorities.
KILLED IN A STREET FIGHT.
AN OFFICER HAS A TOUGH TIME WITH A
ROWDY.
Raleigh, N. C., August 2.—This after
noon a negro named Julian Jones had a
difficulty with a white man on the princi
pal street and knocked him down. Police
man Hogue called on William Utley, a
well known newspaper man, to assist in
quelling the disturbance. Jones knocked
Utiey down, and in the scuffle with Hogue
got his club and was about to use it when
the officer drew his pistol and fired three
times at Jones in quick succession, the
last shot proving fatal. One shot struck a
clerk in a neighboring store on the leg.
Some feeling was exhibited among the ne
groes at the killing of Jones.
TRIED CROTON OIL ON HIM.
ARREST OF A MICHIGAN WOMAN ON A
CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Three Rivers, Mich., August 2.—Mrs.
Harriet A. Pliilps has been arrested on a
charge of attempted murder, the complain
ant being her husband, George V. Pliilps.
Mr. Philps is a consumptive, and has been
unable to work for some weeks, and has
been taking medicine. He charges his
wife with putting croton oil in his medi
cine. He suspected her and had the phy
sicians examine the medicine, and they
found the poison. Both are members of
the M. E. Church.
A CENTURY OF INVENTION.
Washington, August 2.—This is cen
tennial day at the Patent Office. One of
the officials there said:
“One hundred years ago today the
United States issued ‘Patent No. 1’ to
Samuel Hopkins for ‘making pot and pearl
ashes.’ Only three patents were issued
during the year 1790; at present the weekly
issue is about 450. The total number of
patents issued during the one hundred
years just ended was 433,432.”
The advance of arts and science in the
United States is perhaps nowhere better
illustrated than in the records of the Pat
ent office, and is well indicated by the
office work of 1790 as compared with that
of 1890.
DEMAND FOR INDEMNITY’ OF §500,000.
Washington, August 2.—There has
been placed on file at the Department of
the State a copy of the demand made by
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company on
Guatemala for an indemnity of §500,000
for seizure of munitions of war by that
country from the steamer Guatemala.
BRASH TALK IN ATLANTA
EVERYBODY NOT ENTIRELY SAT
ISFIED WITH ALLIANCE
METHODS.
AND LIVINGSTON MAY' HAVE TO FIGHT
YET—WILL IT BE BULLOCK?—THE
VOTING IN GEORGIA YESTERDAY.
Atlanta, August 2.—There is a sud
den turn in the political sentiment at this
place which will likely defeat Mr. Living
ston for Congress. Ever since Judge
Stewart came down from the race, and the
returns made from the various sections of
the State, the people have been thinking
seriously of the Alliance movement. At
the Young Men’s Democratic League last
night, held in the basement of the court
house, which was packed . with men
of mature years, speeches were made
denouncing the methods of the Alliance.
The speakers said they regarded it as one
of the greatest enemies the Democratic
party ever had, and begged the members
of the league to do all in their power to
defeat that secret order. Their speeches
met with loud and enthusiastic applause,
showing how the feeling is here against
the candidacy of Livingston. It is whis
pered in private political circles that
Rufus B. Bullock will enter the
race for Congress 'against Living
ston. If he does, they declare they will
vote for him, although a Republican, be
fore they will vote for Livingston. It is
thought that Bullock will get the entire
city vote. They say that Livingston first
elected himself to the Legislature by
making a dicker with the negro preachers
of his county, and that his independentism
is more obnoxious to them than Bullock’s
Republicanism.
YESTERDAY’S PRIMARIES.
THE VOTE IN A LARGE NUMBER OF
COUNTIES.
Atlanta, August 2.—[Special.]—John
son county’s two votes and Warren’s two
go for Watson, insuring his nomination in
the Tenth.
Blount carries Monroe county, which
was counted on in the Hughes column.
This gives Blount thirteen votes, within
three of the nomination. Jasper and Bibb
act Monday. Jasper is conceded to Blount,
and Bibb will decide it.
Lawson carries Green, and Olive gets
Franklin.
In DeKalb, Murphy Candler is beaten
for the Legislature. Two Alliancemen,
Holbrook and Nash, were elected.
The returns tonight show that Lester
carried Jackson, Whitfield, DeKalb, War
ren, Green, Clay and Bartow. Of these
Henderson carries DeKalb and Green—
eight votes; and Nesbit gets Whitfield,
Clay and Bartow—eight votes. Hunnicutt
carries Jackson and Warren—four votes.
Nesbit telegraphs that he carried Wayne.
There is no other report from there.
Rome furnishes a sensation in the an
nouncement of independent candidates for
the Legislature. Felix Corput, J. W. Hat-
tey and Lindsay Johnson are the regular
nominees. The independent candidates
are Col. J. J. Seay, Hon. John W. Turner
and W. C. Bryan. Additional interest is
given this contest by the announcement
that Corput, if elected, will be a candidate
for Speaker of the House.
The defeat of Candler was a surprise
here. It was brought about by a combina
tion between the Alliance and the Knights
of Labor, taking in the farmers and the
workmen at the quarries.
GEORGIA WILL LOSE CLEMENTS.
STATESMEN DEMORALIZED BY HOT
WEATHER—EVERYBODY' PAIRS.
Washington, August 2.—Mr. Blair’s
resolution to limit debate in the Senate
came up this morning and was promptly
referred to the committee on rules, after
the New Hampshire man had signified his
reason for presenting it. Blair’s act in
offering the resolution displeased some of
his Republican colleagues, as it is their
policy to let the Democrats talk the coun
try into the feeling that a rule of the sort
is necessary before it was offered. This
plan was shocked by Blair’s sudden move-
on yesterday.
MEMBERS ARE SCARCE.
The attendance of members in the House
was very slim this morning. The clerk
announced one hundred and forty mem
bers paired.
The sundry civil bill, with the Senate
amendments, is still on the stocks. Only
one amendment was disposed of during the
day, but the bill was finally sent to a con
ference, and, at 2 o’clock, the House ad
journed because of the terrible heat in the
chamber.
CONCERNED ABOUT BLOUNT.
The contest in the Sixth Georgia dis
trict is exciting much comment here. It
seems hardly possible that Mr. Blount will
be turned down, and yet telegrams from
Atlanta to the Northern papers speak of
the situation as unfavorable to him. It
will be very unfortunate for our State to
lose Mr. Blount’s valuable services in Con
gress just at this juncture.
GEORGIA WILL LOSE CLEMENTS.
It is thought that Hon. J. C. Clements
will soon remove from Georgia and settle
in Louisville, Ky., where he has a good
opportunity to enter into a large law prac
tice. He married into a wealthy and in
fluential family of that city a few years ago.
A GUAGER APPOINTED.
Samuel H. Galloway, of Atlanta, has
just received an appointment as Govern
ment guager.
GEORGIA PERSONALS.
Captain Goodloe Yancey and wife, of
Athens; W. R. Cox and wife, of Macon,
and H. G. Powell and wife, of Yaldosta,
are visiting here.
Congressman Grimes had not returned
to Washington up to a late hour this even
ing. E. P. S.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, August 2.—The Jour
nal having been read and approved, the
House proceeded to the further considera
tion of the Senate amendments to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, the pending
amendment being that of appropriating
§75,000 for a light ship at Frying Pan
Shoals, North Carolina. The amendment
was non-concurred in—yeas 130, nays 27.
One hundred and forty members an
nounced as paired on the vote.
There was great difficulty in disposing
of the remaining amendments, owing to
the slimness of attendance, and, after a
resolution was adopted revoking the leaves
of absence, at 2 t o’clock, the House ad
journed.
IN THE SENATE.
Washington, August 2.—The Senate
met at 10 o’clock this morning. The call
of the roll showed forty-nine Senators (six
more than a quorum) present.
Petitions were presented from Ohio fa
voring the increase of duty on barley; from
Alabama, protesting against the passage of
the Federal election bill, and from the
Wage-Workers Political Alliance, Wash
ington, D. C., asking that when the bills
introduced by the Senators at the request
of any association, the fact shall appear in
the print of the bills.
Morrill was granted unlimited leave of
absence on account of the condition of his
health.
The credentials of Edward D. White, as
Senator from the State of Louisiana for
the full term, beginning the fourth of
March, 1891, to succeed Eustis, were pre
sented and laid on the table.
The Senate bills authorizing the con
struction of a bridge across the Chatta
hoochee ana Oconee rivers, in Georgia,
were reported and placed on the calendar.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Blair, instructing the committee on rules
to report within four days the rule for in
corporation of the previous question, or of
some method for limiting and closing the
debate in parliamentary procedure of the
Senate, was taken up.
Blair said the Senators had spoken to
him indicating their desire to be heard be
fore action should be taken in the matter,
and who were not ready to proceed this
morning. He should therefore not press
the resolution this morning. But he de
sired to say that he has offered the resolu
tion not with special reference to any
pending bill, but with the feeling that
there was a necessity for the proposed
change, the period fcad arrived he thought
when in the transaction of the country’s
business the Senate must have some way
by which the larger number of important
public measures could be decided. The
difficulty heretofore had been in the
other House of Congress,
but that difficulty had been
as all the Senators knew, relieved to some
extent, so that the decision was obtained
there more promptly than formerly. The
Senate which had been hitherto the more
expeditious body in the transaction of
business, was now liable to be, and,in fact,
was far behind. He meant far behind in
its capacity to reach and decide whatever
measures the majority was disposed to
pass. As it now was, tne whole business of
the country was at the mercy of one or
two individuals who might be opposed
to the measures. The majority was prac
tically under the control of the minority,
and so now, without reference to any par
ticular measure now pending, or that might
be pending, he thought that the subject
matter of"his resolution should receive the
early and earnest consideration of the
Senate.
Morgan reminded Blair of the longtime,
six or seven weeks, consumed in consider?
ation of the education bill, and said that
that time had not been wasted as the re
sult of discussion if that bill had been de
feated, just as lie hoped the debate on
the tariff bill would result in the defeat of
that measure.
The resolution was, on motion of Al
dridge, referred to the committee Dn rules.
The tariff bill was then taken up, the
question being on Vest’s amendment to
reduce the duty on decorated china to 50
per cent, ad valorem, and on piain white
undecorated china to 40 per cent, instead
of 60 and 55 per cent, in the House bill,
and of 55 and 50 as proposed by the fi
nance committee.
After a colloquial discussion of the
cliinaware paragraph, George took the
floor and made a long speech on the gen
eral subject of the tariff, contending that
protection had nothing to do with wages,
but that they were governed by the vari
ous surrounding circumstances. Referring
to a statement heretofore made by Teller,
that half the wealth of the country was
owned by 100,000 persons, lie said that if
the system of parental ism, which
assumed the regulation by the
Government of the business,
lives and fortunes of men, was continued
as the pending bill proposed to contiue it,
a sentiment would be produced which
would notJbe,he feared,helpful to the coun
try. If men said that they were robbed or
pillaged, or taxed, for the benefit of others,
while they themselves were kept in pov
erty, they would inquire why the same
Governmental agencies that robbed them
of their daily toil for the benefit of the
rich should not be employed to take from
the spoiler that which he had unjustly got.
He did not wish to see that day come.
Hawley ridiculed the solemnity with
which George had intimated that the peo
ple at the North were living over a vol
cano, and said that if he would make such
speech in New England he would be con
sidered as supplementing a negro minstrel
company for the amusement of his hearers.
Jones, of Arkansas, brought the discus
sion back to chinaware, and read from this
Morning’s papers a dispatch from Findlay,
Ohio, as to the purchase by an Engish
syndicate of the various glass works in
Findlay, Beliaire, Columbus, Fostoria and
other towns, and he said that the effect of
tariff legislation was to encourage such
trusts and syndicates.
Reagan, in a discussion of the genera!
question of protection, spoke of the organ
izations of farmers’ alliances and working
men’s associations that were protesting
against class legislation and plundering
laws. He warned the Senators that such
a movement was not to be ignored.
A conference was ordered on the sundry
civil appropriation bill, and Allison, Hale
and Gorman were appointed conferees on
the part of the Senate.
At 5 o’clock Aldrich, intending to move
an adjournment, proposed that a vote on
the pending question be taken on Monday
without fun her discussion.
“Take a vote now, we are ready. We
are always ready to vote as soon as dis
cussion is over,” were the responses from
several Senators on the Democratic side.
Aldrich did not think there was a quo
rum present, but he was willing to try.
The vote was taken on Test’s amendment,
and the result was yeas 17, nays 20, no
quorum voting. Paddock and Plumb
voted aye with the Democrats. The Senate
then, on motion of Aldrich,at 5:15 o’clock
adjourned. ■
CHOLERA INCREASING AT MECCA.
Cairo, August 2.—The cholera is in
creasing in Mecca. Yesterday there were
over 400 deaths from the disease.
A MEETING OF MONARCHS
EMPEROR WILLIAM SAILS AWAY
IN THE IMPERIAL YACHT.
HE VISITS KING LEOPOLD AND THEIR
BOY'AL NIBS HAY'E A GREAT TIME.
A RULER FOR BULGARIA.
Berlin, August 2.—[Copyright by the
New York Associated Press.]—Before
starting for Ostend, on his way to England,
yesterday noon. Emperor William held a
council on the imperial yacht, Hahenzol-
lern, which was attended by Chancellor
Yon Caprivi, and Ministers Miguel and
Marschal. All three of the ministers, ac
companied by Herr Yon Bennigsen, who
had been telegraphed for to confer with the
Emperor Thursday, returned to Berlin
last evening. The Hahenzollem left Wil-
helmshaven at noon, preceded by the
squadron of evolution, to convey the Em
peror to Ostend to visit (King Leopold in
response to two visits he paid to the court
at Berlin. The political character of the
meeting is undoubted. No conference with
a ruling monarch that the Emperor has
yet projected has been a mere courtesy.
The progress of Gen. Brialmont’s plans for
a chain of frontier fortresses, and the re
lations of the Congo States and German
East Africa, will engage the attention of
the monarchs. King Leopold, who is de
barred from actual adhesion to the triple
alliance, is as strongly biased thereto as
the Belgium policy permits. He knows
that if disaster befell Germany in a war
with France, Belgium would have small
chance of being spared by the French.
The personal esteem of the monarchs
added to the cordiality of their meeting.
The Hahenzollem entered Eastend harbor
at 1:45 o’clock today. Immense crowds,
including a host of German and English
visitors, lined the quay. King Leopold,
accompanied by the Count of Flanders,
went on board the Hahenzollem, and effu
sive greetings were exchanged between the
King and Emperor William and Prince
Henry. The two monarchs thenflretired to
the saloon of the yatch, where they
remained in conversation for half
an hour. Afterward the Emperor went
ashore, and, after inspecting the guard
of honor from the Garrison, received the
Belgian Ministers and the staff of the Ger
man legation. After the reception,
the Kaiser and King Leopold drove
in a carriage to the summer palace,
followed by Prince Henry and the count
of Flanders. The whole route was densely
lined by spectators, and the cheering was
incessant.
WILLIAM WAS DELIGHTED.
Emperor William has telegraphed here
that he was delighted with his reception.
Warnings had reached the Berlin police
that the anarchists of Liege,
who are affiliated with the
French socialists, ment to make
a hostile demonstration aud, if possible, to
attack the ^person of the Kaiser. This in
formation caused extra precautions to be
taken, and a force of German private po
lice assisted the Belgian police. Nothing
marred the enthusiasm of the welcome.
Upon their arrival at the palace Prime
Minister Beermaert, Prince Dechimay,
Foreign Minister, and Gen. Pontus, Minis
ter of War, had talks with the Emperor.
Ostend was everywhere en fete.
for william’s entertainment.
In Brussels, the choral societies will give
a concert in the Kursaal, and the band of
the Guards will perform at the Oaseno.
Tonight there will be a torchlight pro
cession comprising the military bands
from Ghent, Antwerp, Yamur and Brus
sels, and 1,800 soldiers bearing Japanese
laterns and other illuminated devices.
Balls will be held, and there will be an
universal frolic till early morning. The
local authorities have arranged to have a
numerous body of the Brussels police to
assist them. The Emperor’s visit to Os
tend will terminate Monday. The official
expectation here will be quite at fault if
the interview does not result in Belgium
becoming a sleeping partner in the triple
alliance.
FIXING IT FOR BULGARIA.
A family meeting will be held at Osborn
to determine the question whether Prince
Waldemar, of Denmark, or Prince Oscar,
of Sweden, shall be placed upon the Bul
garian throne. Emperor William contin
ues to favor Prince Oscar as the better
choice, on the ground of his personal
qualities. The Czar, hitherto opposed to
having his brother-in-law the ruler of
Bulgaria, now assents. The Greek
royalties strongly object to
Waldemar, and King George has
written to friends in the Danish and Eng
lish courts that the election of his brother
to the Bulgarian throne would raise a
feeling of jealousy among the Greeks, and
would imperil the Duke of Sparta's suc
cession to the throne of Greece. Diplo
mats who are watching this family embroil
probably hit the mark in attributing the
Czar’s choice of Prince Waldemar to a
desire to ke> p the Balkan fermenting.
PREP AIRING FOR THE FAIR.
THE WORK OF ORGANIZATION TO BE RAP
IDLY PUSHED FORWARD.
Chicago, August 2.—Secretary Dickin
son, of the National World’s Fair Commis
sion, returned from his Eastern trip last
evening. He joined the sub-committee of
the committee on permanent organization
at Philadelphia ten days ago and attended
its sessions in New York, Washington and
Cincinnati.
Besides the valuable information ob
tained by the committee, important results
are likely to come from the trip. Presi
dent Palmer has been convinced that no
time is to be lost in making preparations
for the fair, and he will be here in a few
days to urge the local board to go to work
at once. He will reconvene the National
Commission as soon as the local board is
ready to report plans of buildings and
make its final financial showing. This, it
is hoped, may be done by the middle of
September.
Mr. Dickinson states that Gen. Goshorn
has not declined the director-generalship,
because it was not tendered him. Robert
P. Porter was not tendered the position of
chief of the Bureau of Awards. Neither
was Prof. Goode offered the position of
chief of the Bureau of Classification and
Catalogue, but both of the latter named
gentlemen were employed to prepare a
classified list of exhibits.
POLITIC^ IN PHENIX CITY.
interesting speeches at summers-
gill’s hall last night.
Several hundred people gathered at
Snmmersgill Hall, in Phenix Citv, last
night in response to a call of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of the county.
Dr. U. H. Smith called the meeting to
order and introduced the speakers. Ad
dresses in behalf of the State and
county Democratic nominees were
made by Col. Augustus Barnes,
Hon. S. O. Houston, of Opelika, and Mr.
W. B. Teffty of Phenix City. The ad
dresses were bright and entertaining, cre-
ating great enthusiasm and showing that
the crowd was in full sympathy with the
organized Democracy. Speeches were also
made by Messrs. B. K. Collier and M. T.
Lynn, the Independent candidates for the
Legislature.
The committee is confident that Phenix
City will give the nominees a majority of
not less than 400 votes in the State elec
tion, which takes place Monday.
The indications are that the Independ
ents will poll a very small vote in Phenix
City.
MUTTERING RAILROAD MEN.
THEY' WILL STRIKE IF THE COMPANIES
DON’T YIELD.
Birmingham, Ala., August 2.—[Special]
—The conductors on the Georgia Pacific
and the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir
mingham, in addition to those on the
Louisville and Nashville and the Birming
ham Mineral railroads, are preparing to
make demands upon their respective com
panies for increased pay and the present
long list of grievances which they want
adjusted. The petition of the Louisville
and Nashville conductors has been referred
to the management in Louisville. It is
known that the company will not agree
to enter a contract with the conductors,
and it is not thought they will grant
the increased pay demanded. The re
sult will be a big strike. It seems
almost inevitable. The shop men on the
Louisville and Nashville have been refused
increased pay, and they may strike. The
brakemen on that road want more pay and
other concessions, and want to strike, but
decided to wait and see what the company
did about the conductors’ demands before
they did. A special conductors’ meeting
will be held tomorrow and further action
taken. The engineers, conductors, brake-
men and firemen are pulling together and
threaten to bring on a big strike.
FOUGHT LIKE VIRAGOES.
THREE EAU CLAIP.E WOMEN HAY'E A SET-
TO IN A DYING MAN’S PRESENCE.
Eau Claire, Wis., August 2.—Mrs.
Clara Morton, recently removed by process
of law from the residence of Alexander
Watson, the wealthy lumberman, whose
legal wife she claims to be, and whose
housekeeper slie had been for many years,
made another sensation today. Mrs. Mor
ton and her married sister, a lady of
wealth and standing, went to the Watson
residence to get some pictures Mrs. Morton
had left. Mr. Watson, who is slowly
dying, reclined hopelessly iu an invalid
chair on the porch. His nurse ordered
Mrs. Morton and her sister from the
premises. A violent conflict ensued. When
it was over one of the ladies had a black
eye and the other had nearly all of her
clothes torn off.
DOOMED BY THE ITALIAN MAFIA.
TWO MEN IN BOSTON MARKED FOR ASSAS
SINATION BY THEIR COMPATRIOTS.
BostOn, August 2.—The Italian Mafia
have marked two of their countrymen in
Boston for assassination, and already ef
forts have been made to carry out the
edicts of the order. One is Policeman
John Rosatto, an Italian, who knows all the
secrets ofjhis countrymen. The other vic
tim for whom the stiletto is ready Goacliini
Cocchiara, one of the Italians who was ar
rested in connection with the murder of
Millionaire Edward Cunningham, of Mil-
ton eight months ago. Rosatto incurred
the vengeance of the Mafia by tracking
down an Italian named Donato, who kill
ed a man and woman in Italy and. fled to
this country.

NEGOTIATING FOR a MILLION POUND
LOAN
Buenos Ay'p.es, August 2.—It is ex
pected that the bourse here, which has
been closed for some days in consequence
of the revolution, will re-open on the 15th
instant. The Government has resumed
negotiations with an English syndicate for
a new loan of £1,000,000.
