CONDENSED DISPATCHES,

SpHorLE, the American who was con-
victed in British Columbia of murder, and
whose sentence Of death was suspended
pending an appeal to the court al Ottawa,
and afterwards to the Privy Court OF Great
Britain, will probably be executed upon the
day to which he was respited. The State
Department exerted itself in his behalf. but
has been informed from London that the
representations On Sproule's behalf have
not been considered sufficiently weighty to
overturn the verdict or longer postpone the
sentence.
ACTING SECRETARY FAIRoHILD has a,l
! thoriZed the reopening of the mint at Car
son City, New, as an assay Office for the
receipt Of deposits of bullion. This action
was taken on recommendation of the Di-
rector of the Mint, and with the full ap-
proval Of the President. Tt is intended as
| an experiment, as it is snid ut the Depart
ment that it is doubtful whether the de-
post al the mint will warrant even its con
duction as IN assay Office. Its future OPP
Grafton as coinage mint will depend alto
gcther upon the extent of its deposits.
