of Eight of RfeI's Fellow
CenRnirafOrs At RalfIaf0rd

BATTLEFRONT, N. w. T., November 81
The execution of the eight Indians found
suilty of murder at Frog Lake and Battle-
ford occurred at 1927 o'clock this morning.
The execution passed off without any in
cident of special interest. OF the eight
Indians hanged this morning seven were
active participants in the horrible massacre
at Frog Lake on the ard Of april last. The
bloody work was commenced by Wander
ing Spirit, and was afterward carried on
under his direction until the white people
Of the Frog Lake settlement were almost
exterminated.
The procession to the gallows formed at
1880 o'clock. Each man was pinioned and
the black cap was drawn from his head.
Guarded on either side, they marched
with steady step to the scaffold, taking
their places on the trap. Wandering
Spirit and Miserable Man made addresses
in the Indian tongue, acknowledging the
justice of their sentence, and warned their
people to keep a clear distance in the tut
ure. The whole then joined in the death
chant, to show that they did not fear
death. The executioner her drew the
caps over their faces, the priests addressed
the parting words and offered prayer, in
the midst of which the bolt was drawn
and the drop fell, all dying instantly. DR..
Ralph examined the bodies and pro.
nounced life extinct after hanging fifteen
minutes. They were cut down and
placed in coffins and handed over to the
coroner and jury. The prisoners ex-
pressed thanks TO the police for their
kindness. The gallows stood the strain
without a tremor. All the arrangements
were carried out without a hitch.

serIons Raflroad Accident.

BELoIT, KAs., November ga serious
accident occurred Wednesday at Lindsey,
on the Solomon railroad. A rail had been
removed from the main track and a wild
train came thundring along at about thir-
ty-five miles an hour. The section man
threw the switch open, sending the train
into a lot of freight cars standing on the
side-track, smashing the engine and cars
into splinters. j. NJ. SwyseT, owner of the
elevator at Lindsey, was caught between
two freight cars and his body severed in
two, the upper portion flying up into the
air and the lower dropping beneath the
cars. His team was badly used up, and the
horses had to be killed. 1t is understood
that the section boss, whose name is IN
known, was at once arrested and conveyed
to Jail at Minneapolis.

BLOODY CUTTING AFFRAY.
Five Young Men Trying 10 Carve Each
Other 20 Pieces.

DECATUR, ILL, November 27.-There
was q bloody cutting ARRAY at Warrens-
burg, this county, yesterday, in which five
young men were engaged. The parties
were Frank and Walter Major and Will
lam, Eugene and Thomas HIGHLAND. The
difficulty grew out of a quarrel at a lance
at the residence of Elsa Burgoman a week
ago, about a young lady. The parties met
at Warrensburg yesterday and the Ho-
glands revived the quarrel. The Major
boys were in their wagon. The HIGHLAND
brothers got in and began fighting the
Majors. The team ran off and sill were
thrown out and then a general fight began.
1t terminated in both the Majors being Sc
riousiy cut in the side and neck with a
long-bladed penknife said to have been
used by Eugene HIGHLAND. Bleeding and
f%ainting from the loss of blood, the Majors
were borne to a doctors Office where the
wounds were dressed. 1t was reported
last night that Frank Msjor would not re.
cover. Each of the Highlands vas fined
for fighting, and last night Eugene was
arrested by Deputy Many and brought to
Decatur on a State warrant, charging him
with assault to murder. The injured
young men are sons Of E. W. Major, a
wealthy farmer. The ARRAY caused the
widest excitement, which still continues
in the Warrensburp ~community.

FIJI + Union.

The Latin Union includes France,
Switzerland and Greece, and partially
Italy. Belgium did belong to it, but,
Notwithstanding inducements, it appears
not likely to remain there. The silver
miners party are continually referring
10 this union of countries that circulate
silver as a hacker to their arguments and
assertions. At a distance this handful of
dust thrown into the eyes of the unwary
may appear to have weight, but those
who know the past position and present
dllemma OF the union are aware that it
is not an encouragement, but a warning,
against the excessive use of silver, aud
Its dissolution is approaching. The
union met a month ago, when strong
notifications were made. The new ar
rangement distinctly recognizes the gold
standard and ignores all probability Of
anything like an international agreement
for bimetallism. The suspension of the
coinage of silver is continued. No State
belonging to the union is to be allowed
to resume the coinage of silver without
a meeting of the Monetary Conference
to settle the conditions of such resump-
tion. In no case can any State resume
silver coinage without reimbursing in
gold the balance of its coin circulating
in other countries of the union. The
object of the unions action is, praeti-
cally, to prevent any increased coinage of
silver in France, Belgium, Switzerland,
Italy and Greece, and to provide for
the redemption in gold of any surplus
sOf the unions coinage in any other
country. The actual, though not
avOwed result Of the latest action of the
Latin Union is its adoption of gold as
the single standard for all beyond a lin.
tied amount of exchanges. In short, it
is a complete giving up of idea that any
arbitrary rate can maintain silver at an
equal ratio with gold by endowing it
with the legal tender quality. What
the Latin Union cannot accomplish we
have attempted to do single handed,
even stopping the purchase of bonds
more than one year in the effort, yet,
like the union, we have failed. The re-
lation of demand and supply sends down
the price of silver, and we can no more
prevent it than Dame Darlington, with
her broom, could hold back the wave
of the Atlantic from entering her
kitchen.

ALFONSO'S
The Last Moments of the King
-sn Affecting scene.

MADRID, November 27.-Senor Canovas
del Castillo has returned from his visit to
the Queen, who has summoned Senior
Sagusta to form a Cabinet. Alfonso abso-
lutely refused to allow the doctors to hold
! consultation. His mother and wife
we're obliged TO inplore him to permit the
doctors to attend him, and when they en-
tered tie chamber he again ard again
deprecated their visit, which he said
would cause alarm in Madrid. Hypoder-
mic injections were made in order TO in
duce sleep. The Queen and DR.. Camison
watched by the Kings bedside through
out the night. The scsne when the last
sacrament was administered was deeply
impressive. Tears coursed down the
cheeks CT all present when the King ex-
pired. Christina, who was fearless, with
\ wall OF anguish cried: "Alfonso, Oh
God, he answers not, Alfonso!" Queen
isabella knelt, crying. "Holy Virgin, have
mercy" When the daughters arrived
here was a terrible scene OF grief on
meeting their mother. The body of the
King is dressed in the Uniform of a Cap
tain-Genersl. Upon the breast are Aus
IRAN and Spanish crosses. The Kings
features are thin and have a calm express
sion as if in sleep. The members of the
Royal family are continually receiving
visits of coincidence. The primate and the
government have made arrangements for a
solemn mass tomorrow morning in the
presence Of the royal family, after which
rhe body will he borne in state to Madrid.
The clergy will meet the remains at the
outskirts of the city, and the procession
will pass through streets line with troops.
The body will lie in state three days in the
hall of Columns, where the body of Queen
Mercedes was laid. All noblemen have
closed their houses and shors, and the
theaters will remain shut until after the
funeral. Guns are fred every half hour.
The peasants flock to the palace murmur-
ing Poor Queen! poor children" The
English papers express the deepest SYM
pathy and regret. The hope that a post
humous heir to the throne OF Alfonso may
be born serves to buoy up business on the
bourses. 1t is the popular opinion in
Madrid that the King died like q shepherd
ia the mountains. without aid, which
might have been given. For two months
IN elaborate system of deception had been
practiced in regard to his physical condi-
ion. He ought never to have been al
lowed to make the tour last summer
through the cholera-infected districts. 1t is
reported that before he died he advised
Queen Christine to confide in the Liberals,
who would save his children and his
country. The press trusts to the good sense
and interest of the people to prevent a
revolution. The German papers express
universal sympathy for Spain in the death

TRUE TO HIS FAITH,
Why Rabbi Browne walked in the
Grant Funeral Procession.

New York, November 27.-Rabbi
Browne OF this city was appointed by Gen..
Hancock as the representative rabbi of
the Jewish faith in the funeral procession
of Gen. Grant, but the funeral taking
place On Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath,
Mr.. Browne asked permission to walk in
the procession, as riding in g carriage is a
violation of the Jewish Sabbath. Those
in charge of the o~bsequies being averse to
making changes, the required permission
YVES not granted, and Rabbi Browne de-
clined the honor of participation in the
funeral. The Grant family, however, in.
terfered, and Gen. Hancock issued an Or
der authorizing the rabbi to take his own
means of locomotion. Thus it was that
Rabbi Browne walked from the City Hall
to Riverside Park. The Reform Jews
we're displeased with his making
the journey on foot, as being
against the progressive idea. The Or
thodox Jews, who greatly outnumber the
former, however, applauded the act, and
yesterday in the synagogue, the largest
in the city among them, during the
Thanksgiving service in Rabbi Brownies
temple, presented him with a gold medal
and an Illuminated dress. The medal
shows Rabbi Browne with the pail bearers
badge as he marched in the procession,
in high relief in the center, while under
the feet, in raised letters, is the legend:
From City Hall to Riverside Park"
and over the head are the Hebrew words:
For Blessed be He Who Sanctifed the Sabbath
The names of the donors are engraved
on a bar attached to a gold frame which
encircles the medal.

photographic Office, experiments are
nov fairly on the way. So far these ex-
periments show that the animal and
the vegetable oils are best adapted to
this purpose, such oils as linseed, lard,
whale and COLA being preferred as the
most effective in toning down heavy
seas. From the reports submitted it
would appear that the best way is to
allow the oil to drip slowly into the sea.
Some captains passed the oil through the
drain pipes Of the w~ashbasins, ETC., put
ting oakum in them so as to cause the
oil to reach the water slowly with con-
tinued flow or drip; from the forward
portion of the ship is the best position.

Cabinet Meeting,

WASHINGTON, November GA regular
meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day.
All the members were present. The
Presidents message, so far as completed,
was read and unanimously approved. 1t
is said TO be an unusually strong paper,
containing many new and valuable sug-
gestions. The question of attending the
funeral of Vice-President Hendricks was
considered, and two or three members OF
the Cabinet said that it would be almost
impossible tor them to leave the city
without neglecting many matters which
it was important should be settled before
the meeting of Congress. The President
expressed his determination to attend the
funeral. His message was almost ready,
and could easily be completed on his re-
turn from indianapolis. The Postmaster
General and the Secretaries Of War and
the Navy said that their reports were all
in shape, and that they thought they
would be able to accompany the Preei-
dent. The Secretary of State also thought
he could arrange to &c with the party.
The other members thought the affairs of
their departments would prevent their
leaving the city. 1t was finally decided to
leave the matter entirely to the discretion
of each member, with the general under
standing that all who consistently could
go would do 80. The party will probably
leave here Monday morning. The details
of the trip have been placed in the hands
OF Col. Lamont, and have not yet been
completed,
