wDeaaea Executed,

LONDON, Aug. 16-A dispatch from Berlin
says that Hoedel, who attempted the assas-
sination of the Emperor William, on May TO-,
was executed this morning. The reluctance of
the Emperor to permit the execution was at
last overcome and the imperial decree was is
sued commanding the carrying out OF the
sentence of the court.
Hoedel was informed of his fate only q
short time before the hour fixed for execu-
tion. He received the announcement at first
stolidly, but afterwards betrayed great agitft-
ton, Some difficulty had been experienced in
obtaining an executioner. It is reported that
the man who at last accepted the task is q
respectable butcher Of Berlin.
When conducted to the place of execution,
Hoedel trembled and his countenance was
ashy- The business was very quickly done,
He was made to kneel down, the egecutioner
raised an immense double-handed sword. and
the head fell upon the scaffold, It is reported
that the executioner refused any reward.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.--Judge Youmans,
Gov. Hamptons Attorney General, in o con-
versatiDn last evening about the political sit
uation in South Carolina, said the Democrats
Of course had the State government This
was shown by the fact that the recent Repub-
lican State convention adjourned without
placing any ticket in the field. This did not,
however. mean that the Republican party was
dead; on the contrary, 1t was quite active,
It was shTewd enough to SEQ that any attempt
to secure State offices would be o signal fail
ure, and had therefore determined to work for
other aims. These werefor q majority In the
State Legislature and Representatives in Con-
gress.
Of the five congressional districts In the
State, four were very close ones. and the Re-
public1ns had almost En equal chance with
the Democrats for carrying them. They also
had some prospects for securing majority
in the State Legislature. The Republicans
party in South Carolina was not dead by any
| means, said Judge Youmans; thew only saw
the futility of any effort to beat Wade Hamp-
| ton. In fact the majority Of them were Gu
| tirely satisfied with him.
IGis more than likely that the government OF
South Carolina will secure the person of Sen
ator Patterson at an early day, to answer the
iCharges against him

Government AID to be Extended to Suf-
ferers from yellow Fever.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-At the Cabinet
meeting this afternoon the prevalence OF
yellow fever In the South was made the topic
OF discussion, and much sympathy for the
sufferers was expressed. The question also
arose whether it would not be proper for the
government to furnish material aid to the suf-
1erers, in the way of provisions, II the epidemic
should continue to spread. Their condition at
present is not thought sufficiently dangerous
Sor such course to be adopted.
The action of Secretary McCrary In fur
nishing tents, etc, at Memphis, was COM
rnented on, and it was the general opinion
that wherever aid In this form could be given,
it should be extended by the government to
such an exteat as Was possible.

VIENNA, Aug. 16.-Much modification is felt
here at the unexpected repulse of the Austrian
forces in Bosnia, and the fear that it may
lessen Austria's prestige among the powers
of Europe. There are rlmOrs that the sup
ply department was very badly served. 1t IS
said that the repulse hos been even more Sc
we're than the official account shows, and that
the advance will have to be suspended for ten
days.
The Emperor had believed that his armies
would encounter no serious opposition, and
would have nothing to do save to preserve
the peace among. the different classes Of the
population. It is stated that when the ad-
vance is resumed it will take place under far
more favorable conditions.
The convention arranging the terms of oc-
cupation has now been ratified by the repre-
this convention the Turkish troops must, II
need be, cooperate with the Austrians in pre-

Rossa, the Fenian leader, is in St. Peters
legs. About four months ago he went to To
ronto to lecture. He was met with a carriage
as Small station, near Toronto, in order that
he might avoid danger from the throng at the
depot in Toronto. He was delayed in getting
off the train until it had started, and he Stun
bIed and fell. Al first he felt no 1nconve-
nience, but later he became paralyzed in the
legs. While in prison in Ireland, he says, the
jalor jumped ON him and hurt his back, and
the trouble has now settled in his legs
He is getting better, but on account Of his
sickness he has resigned the presidency OF
the Fenian Brotherhood.

England Adds Another island to Her
Empire

The British flag now floats on another
island. Socotra, which lies off the Gulf OF
Alden, was reoccupied two months ago, In
1884, when steam began to be used in The In
dian seas, the island was coveted as a coalfng
station, and @ detachment of Bombay Sepoys
was sent to annex it, despite the opposition Cf
the Sultan OF Keshin, its owner. On the ac-
QUESTION of Alden, five years later, Socotra
was abandoned. When the Suez canal shares
were purchased its reoccupation was again
decreed, and the Sultan Of Keshin was this
time induced to become q feudatory of Great
Britain for q consideration. The present
landing is the result Of that arrangement. AS
the island lies almost directly In the line of
communication with India from the Red Sea,
it has acquired additional importance by the
construction Of the Suez canal, and this con-
sideration has, it is understood, determined
the action Of the British government. There
are about 5000 inhabitants, consisting OF two
distinct races-narnely, Arabs who have set
tied on the island, and the aboriginal inhabi-
tants, who are Bedouins, wandering from one
part of the island to another with their foeka
and herds The principal commercial pro-
ducts are aloes Of the finest quality, the
dragon's-blood tree, tamarinds, tobacco, and
various fruits and gums, besides some cotton
and indigo. The civet cat and chameleon are
distributed all over the island.

The Democratic party has done we'll in select
ing this gentleman as it's standard bearer for
the approaching election Few men in Louis
lana are more widely known than Major
Burke, and none have rendered greater SER
vice to the State and his people than he.
Prominent in1his efforts at all times to drive
from our soil Radicaiism and its cohorts, the
party of the people, the Democratic party,
has done but its duty in rewarding the gallant
services Of Major Burke with this honorable
nomination.
The Viadic0tor and Natchitoches parish
thought, and yet believe that Major John G.
Moncure should have been selected, but we
as it seems all others did, selected Major
Burke as our second choice.
The Baton Rouge Convention has met,
acted and adiourned-it now becomes our
duty to close ranks under the guidance Of our
selected leader and banner-bearer and move
on to pre-ordaned and certain victory.
Natchitoches pledges to Burke and the
Democratic ticket good round majority.

his powerful sermon on the downfall or VIM.

balm for guilty soul.
Mrs. Tilton said she had been annoyed by
lecture agents, who insisted upon her going
into the field. guaranteeing her the sum OF
$1OO000if she would consent. She refused to
entertain any. on9sittss55n i the kind.
She Claimed fired that that the subject OF O reunion

that she was entitled to resume her relations

children. She expressed aversion to entering
into the details OF her sin but intimated that
she intends to prepare history OF her eK-
nerieuce with BeeCher, and leave it to her
husbands friends to be made use OF as they
please after her death.
