Contesting the Legality OF . stay OF
Execution.

st. Louis, July 15.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Chief Justice Sher-
wood yesterday granted stay Of execu-
tion in the case of Charles F. Kring,
sentenced to be hanged to-day, Circuit
Attorney Harris sent instructions to
Sheriff Mason this morning to proceed
with the execution. The sheriff con-
suited his counsel. and notified Mr..
Harris that he declined to recognize
his authority in the matter. Opinion
is somewhat divided as to whether
Judge Sherwood had authority, under
the circumstances, to grant a stay OF
take any action at all in the case. Pub
lie feeling is quite strong here against
Kring, and perhaps the majority Of the
people wish to have him suffer the PEN
atty Of the law for the atrocious crime
he committed.

News from the Cutter Corwin.


Portland. Me-, July 15.-The argus
of yesterday says: Capt. G. L. Hooper,
commanding the cutter Corwin, writes
from Plover bay, Siberia, June -, say
ing:
I'VE reached st. Lawrence island
May 26th, and entered the Arctic re-
gions on June ID. We lost rudder
in the ice in latitde 63o 10, north, and
had to steer several days by jury rud-
der. The same day on which the acci-
dent occurred we landed Lieuts. Her
ring and Reynolds, one seaman and
two natives, equipped with twenty-five
dogs and four sleds, with two months
rations, arms, ammunition, plenty of
fur clothing, tents and skin boat,
with instructions to explore the coast
of Asia as far north as Jachint Tor It'd
ings of the Jeanette. A report has
been received that seal hunters have
seen the wrecks Of the two whalers,
Vigilant and Mount Wallaston. Ma
tives boarded the Vigilant last No
vember at North cape, and found the
bodies of the crew. The Wallaston
was found eighty miles further north.
Both vessels were stove in and full of
water.'
Capt. Hooper said he would endeavor
to get every information, and get back
to st. Michael's by July 10Th.
New York, July 15.-The Herald's
Washington special says: 1t is the i'm
preston here that the crews of both
whalers were found by the Jeanette.
1t will be remembered that last winter,
when the appropriation for fitting out
search expedition was under consid-
eration, one of the arguments advanced
that the: government should appro.
pirate sufficient sum, was because il
was reasonably certain, from the infor.
nation brought by the escaped whalers,
that the crews of the detained vessels
were now consuming the provisions Of
the Jeanette. The information at
hand confirms the opinion then ex.
pressed.
