LONDON. April 2O,-The Standard
in an editorial this morning, says it
hopes England will support the Khe-
dive in his controversy with France
concerning the suppression of the
Bosphore Egyptien. II England al
lows an accession TO frances de-
mand for the withdrawal of the de-
cree of suppression and the punish
ment of the officials who executed
the decree, the Standard thinks 1t
will make a serious mistake. The
Bosphore vas justly suppressed says
the Standard, and if it be allowed to
resume its audacjous career, England
will confess more tlagrantly than
ever, that in Egypt she has under
taken a task which she has neither
the ability to execute mol the cour-
age to relinquish.

Mr.. Bllrchard's Report

WASHINGTON, April cO.-Mr. Bur-
chard; Director of the Mint, in his
special annual report of the produc-
ton Of gold and silver in the United
States for the calendar year 1884,
which has been ordered printed, es-
Inmates the production of the coun-
try to have been: Gold, $50, 500, OOD;;
silver, computed at silver dollar coin
age rates, $4S, 800, 900; total, $79,GO0.-
600. This
SHOWS AN INCREASE
over the yield of the previous year of
about $500, 900 in gold and 81, Acc, 900
in silver. The total deposits OF gold
at the minis during the year
amounted to $50, sis, 179, of which
$50, 8O7 ,O2O was reported as domestic.
The exports of gold bullion, exclusive
of United States bars, amounted to
only Sis, OOO. To the amount depos-
tied at the minis and the small
amount exported might properly be
added $6OO,0OO worth of gold con
tanned in the silver bullion exported,
and also possibly 500. 900 of unde-
posted gold in the form of nuggets,
grains, etc, used in Ornamentation,
and $500, 900 in bars in private refine
ries used for similar purposes, which
would make in all an addition of
81 10000. But of the gold received
from British Columbia and the
northern States of Mexico, amount
ing to 81, 1OO, 900, only S64, 900 was de-
posted at the San Francisco mint as
foreign, and the statements furnished
by retineries show that it was refined
by them and included in the bullion
deposited at the mint under the head
of domestic.

LONDON, April M.-In the House
of Commons Lord Randolph Church
i'll Conservative asked Mr.. Glad
stone how far England was compli-
CARED and how far she was responsible
in the suppression of the French
newspaper Bosphore-Eayptien at
Cairo. MI. Gladstone replied that
Egypt had not acted alone in the
matter Of selling and suppressing
the paper, and admitted that Eng.
land was not in q position to
disclaim all responsibility for the
act. Gladstone gave notice
that the Government would
introduce a motion for q vote of cred
it tomorrow. The Premier's replies
concerning the Bosphore-Egyptien
and the Afghan incidents were to-
day very guarded. He answered a
number of questions about the An
glo-Russian dispute with studied
evasion, and IN all he said in the
House of Commons to day he add ed
little to what had been already
known. In evidence of the present
bellicose feeling among members of
Parliament. it may be mentioned
that when MI. Gladstone unequiv.
ocally stated that Sir Peter Lums-
denis telegram of Friday confirmed
his previous accounts of the fight at
PeDjdeh and conflicted with those
made about the same battle by Cen
eral Komarof,, the declaration
was received with a low ripple of
satisfaction, which soon developed
into cheers. Fears are entertained
that the Bosphore-Egyptien affair
is likely to lead to a difficulty be-
tween France and England. The
situation at the close of the session
of Parliament this evening, was one
indicating a feeling of un%easiness,
bordering on alarm.

The troubles at the Territorial Peni-

Mitchell and Glover, left the institu-

the old force left. Their places have

duties he has changed his mind as to
the ''sinecure" which he holds. He
says he wouldn't, if he had to do it
again, take the place for 81. 900 q year,
instead of the 1000 which he re-

Or shall i float in ether pure above.
Passionless, seXless and not hope to find

worse?

Methods of Hanging.

The mode of carrying out the SEN
tence of the law, ''Ie hanged by the
neck until you are dead" has usually
been left to the discretion of the hang
man, the law taking no cognizanee as
to what is to be the proximate cause
of death. Calcraft invariably adopted
the short drop of about two feet and a
: half; and if l may Judge from some
specimens of his ropes, which are stilt
to be seen at Kirkdale, death must
have been produced by 4 slow process
of ;sphyxia. Marwood adopted what
is generally known as the long drop,
of which he was supposed by many to
be the originator, though it was used
long before his time, both in Paris and
in ireland.
To Professor Haughton we are in
debted for scientific exposition of the
rationale of tho long drop, and of the
mode in which death takes place. DIR.
Haughton also gives an elaborate ex-
PLANTATION of the American method,
which is a scientific modification of the
old naval method of running the culprit
up to the yard-arm.
Having now briefly referred to the
different modes of hanging which have
been adopted in executing criminals,
we will be better able to judge which
is the best and most practical method
when we have considered the various
causes of death. Professor Tidy says
that ''in hanging, as in drowning.
death does not always take place in
exactly the same way. Thus, it may
result from-O asphyxia; (2) cere-
bral hyperemia; (3) Il combination of
asphyxia with apoplexy; a. syncopes
l'(5) injury to the spinal cord and pneu-
mogastrics (neuroparalytic death). -
