TURKISH FINANCES.-Until lately the
rule was that, though every soldier and or
binary civil servant in the country should
go without his pay, the sultan's household
must have theirs. Only a few weeks ago
the sultan, hearing that a sum of money had
been placed on board q skip In order 10 be
transmitted TO the seat OF war, sent for IL,
and bad IL taken on shore for his own prf.
vate USE Every effort had been made 70
keep the fact of transmission secret in or
der that palace cupidity might not lay claim
to IL, but in vain. Nor Is this by any means
an exceptional instance. Whenever any
department has been In the receipt of cash,
demands have come for the transmission of
the amount TO the sultan. To the vultures
or the palace the safety of the country is a
matter OF supreme indifference. / could
give many examples OF the interceptiou or
attempted interception of money on its way
TO the public treasury. There ought 70 be
DO longer any necessity TO disguise the fact
mat the first step In financial form In Turkey
is 10 limit the amount which shall 60 TO the
the sultan. do not require TO be told this
is In theory already done. My ans wer would
be that everybody In Constantinople knows
that the sultan constantly sends TO one de-
partment or other, ordering the delivery to
him either OF ptrticular sum or OF ali the
cash on hand. This process is now going
on, but yet, In spite OF IL, so Impoverished
Is the treasury at this moment, that even
the salaries of the palace are, as have said,
ESQ 900 In arrears COnSt0SatinopIe Letter.

EXECUTION OF DOLAN.
The Voc Murder Ayengsi.

New YORK, April q. John r..
Dolan, the murderer of James II.
Noe, was executed this morning in
the Toombs prison yard at 9:37 o'clk.
He died without a struggle and walk
ed to his doom with self-pessession.
HE SHED A FEW TEARS
after he was bound. He was brought
out at 9:35, and'walked firmly to the
gallows in the sunlight. He stood
under the gibbett but moment
The rope was cut with a. thud, and
his body rose in the air. He strug-
gled but little, and died comparative
ly easy. Dolan wrote a letter to his
counsel last night thanking him for
his strenuous efforts in his behalf
and repeating his declaration of in
nocence of the murder of Mr.. Noe.
DoLAN SLEPT BUT LITTLE
last night, and was up early this
morning, when he attended mass in
the prison chapel, his wife being also
present. After taking leave OF his
wife, he retired to his cell, where he
joined in religious devotions with the
clerxymen who have attended him
all along, The execution was to have
taken place at 8 o'clock, but as a re-
preive was looked for, the event was
postponed for half an hour. At $3.50
the sheriff notified Dolan that it was
TINE FOR THE GALLONS.
His arms were pinioned and the black
cap placed on his head. He looked
very flushed, and when he stood un-
der the rope he looked up at 1t and
then at the spectators. His manner
was perfectly self-possessed, and he
exhibited no emotion of any kind. ~
After praying with his confessors the
black cap was drawn over his face, a
few seconds elapsed, the sheriff gave
the signal, and Dolan's body shot up
into the air. Save a few conclusive
movements of the chest, and an eff
fort OF the hands to lift themselves
upward, no other signs of suffering
were to be observed, and after q con-
vulsive shudder passed through the
whole body, all trace Of life had left
his body. He died remarkably easy
for SO powerful a man--his neck not
being broken. His heart ceased beat
ing after he had been suspended l3f
minutes.
