ELECTING OFFICERS.
- Voting being resumed Sullivan received 9
great majority of the votes, and, on motion ol
Byrne, his principal competitor, the election
was made unanimous.
Sullivan, coming upon the stage, said he
could not do justice to the position, and was
compelled most respectfully, but firmly, TO
de. line the honor. The action OF the conven-
ton would send thrill of delight Into every
Irish home aud shock OF terror to the
Brush parliament and the "per1ured cham
Der of : ublin CASTLE
SulIivan's declination was laid on the table,
and Major Byrne was elected vice-president.
John j. Hynes was chosen secretary.
sullivan came to the front of the stage and
said he recognized the voice OF the people as
the voice of God. In obedience to the voice
of Mrs. Parnell, Me.srs. Brennan, Egan and
Redpath and the voice of the convention he
would consent to act temporarily as the SER
leader.
Chairman Foran announced Mrs. Parnell
had been elected president of the ladies' Ma
tional leaugue in America. He called on
Henry F. Sheridan of Chicago, to lead in
singing "Gnd Save Ireland.' The song was
sung, the convention rising and joining In the
chorus.
The chairman then declared the convention
"The Star spangled Banner" and other
songs were sung before the delegates aban-
d0ned the hall.

their farms lie robbed of their due fer
tilization' On this point there is dan.
ger of injury to the general welfare of
the country. Again the seed is hulled
before the oil is expressed, and the fer
tilizing elements of the bulls sre-.with-
drawn from the farms,-even though all
the meal, or its equivalent is. ssreturn-
ed. In somcaportions of the West the
bulls ale sold as cattle food. For this
parnose. they. are sof little value, Eek
cept in cases where good deal of the
kernel is left with. hhuIl proper; but
some compensation arises from the
fact that the bulls in this case are re
turned to the farm where they proper
perry belong. At some mills it is Gus
tOmary to use the hulls as. fuel for
their engines, and tha resulting ashes
sold as fertilizers. The ashes contain
by far the most important, and valuable
fertiliEing elements of the bulls, and
all of them ought to find their way
back 70 the farms. The oil has very
little manurial valae, not near as much
as an equal weight Of straw or dry
muck, and the farmer might very woll
let that 60 for the sake of general
good. For whatever tends to enrich
the country at large, reacts to the ben
eft Of the farmers as weel % other
people. We should be very glad to see
oil mills multiplied to the extent of alb
sorbing all the cotton seed made, ex-
cept those needed for planting, pro-
vided an equitable exchange of seed 70,
meal and ashes could be established
At present We believe the business is 9
kind of monopoly; if not owned by the
same parties, they have at least com
bined to Tx prices, aud thus shut out
the healthy influence of competition.

my good money.
In another part of China l witnessed
the execution of a. number of rebels
who had been captured some time be-
fore. Some distance inland from the
Town there was an open piece OF
ground, and one condemned criminal
was taken out there. A hole about
five feet deep was dag near an ant hill
and the man was placed in the hole
with his arms tied to his sides. Then
the dirt was thrown in and patted down
around him. He was completely bur-
ried up to the chin. WaeD buried n
gag was placed between his teeth and
his mouth kept wide open. The in
side of hia mouth was then thoroughly
smeared with sweet honey-like sub
stance, and he was LEFT alone. Inane
diately the ants perceived the smell
of honey they started from an adjacent
bill in swarm and went in a stream
down the throat of the victim. He
was devoured by the ants and his suf
ferings cannot be described, in fact
they can scarcely be imagined. An.
other execution I witnessed was near
ly as bad as the one I've just told you.
This victim was condemned for don I
know what. He was tied to pxt
with his face toward the binding sun
and while tied there slacken lime wa.
thrown into his eyes and they were
burned out of the sockets. He wa.
then left tied to the stake, and mus
have died of starvation.

Methods OF Torture.

Speaking with st. Louis policeman
in one of the stations a reporter ven
tured upon the subjee: of corporal pun
ishment, when the police suddenly be.
came interested and said: sob, hang
ing don't amount to anything. I've
seen men killed in manners far more
horrible. I've seen them die all sorts
of ways. | will only say in what man
ner have seen men punished for crime
When very young | entered the Dam
ish navy, and remained in the service
until | was thirty-nine years old. Dur
ing all that time was cruising most
ly 10 the East and about the coast of
Africa. l was young, and having an
uncle in the Admiralty, l always had
such voyages as l liked them. One of
my earliest cruises was along ia 1884
along the Chinese coast. On that vow
age witnessed my first fogging, and
saw several insubordinate seamen keel
hauled, two or three of them being
killed by the punishment. KeeLbaul.
ing is gone out of fashion now, but it
used to be very common. A line WIS
passed from lab'rd to stah'rd under the
vessel. The sailor was fastened 10
one end of the rope and dragged him out
on the other side. This was repeated
two or three times If the sailor who
was being keel-hauled vas a good
swimmer he would not be badly lnjur-
ed BY the punishment; but If, as often
happened the sailor, could not swim
aud the gang pulled the rope taunt the
sailor was often pulled up dead. The
vessels bottoms were lined with copper
whice Clipped off aud stuck out from
the bottom. The sailor being dragged
against these sharp points was often
terribly lacerated, if not killed.
While in China | witnessed some
very horrible executions, and was the
means of having a native of the Cele-
stial Kingdom soundly bastinadoed
In business, trickery and scheming the
heather Chinee certainly is peculiar,
and it was in those early days Ian
ded at small town en- the coast; aud
desiring to purchase some curiosities
went into store, where L picked out
a number of articles and turned over
the necessary money IN silver to the
chinaman. Theu / started out, when
the Chinaman demanded the full price
Of the goods. informed him that he
was paid, but he said no, and putting
his hand into his money box, laid nv
money upon the stand and called for
his goods. | gave him his goods took
the money and walked out, went into
store near BY and bought some more
goods, turning the money over to the
store keeper. He looked at the mon.
ey, and then seft grin spread over his
features. "No good, said he. What
| said wouldn't look we'll in print, suit
L maintained the money was good. 1
was convinced that I was in error, how
ever, when the stsre- keeper threw three
dollar pieces down upon the counter and
they shivercd to pieces. Then | real.
lied that the FIRST Chinaman had ex-
changed my good money for counter
