FOREIGN NOTES.

According the London Times, operations have late
ly begun for the purpose OF clearing away the mass
of sand which has accumulated during the centuries
around the famous statue Of the Sphinx. Brugsch
Bey, brother of the distinguished EgyptolOgisti has
charge OF the work, which is being carried out &C.
viii, II is expected be finished by Easter. The por-
ton of the statue at present above ground Is about
~ feet 1t is supposed that az much more, at least,
Is buried in the sand, and the emount OF sand to be
cleared away is estimated at 10000 cubic metres.
A small tramway is being constructed to carry away
e s Sss OF on the task When the statue as been
laid bare to the level OF the foundations broad Cir
cular walk Will be constructed around IT, and a high
wall VIII be built 10 guard against future encroacb-
ments OF the sands OF the desert.
At a picture view in London the other day Mrs
Langtry was the most mobbed OF the celebrities.
She was looking as bright and happy as ever she
might be called ia belle dame sans-souci.r The
rapidty with which she rushed, meteor-llke, round
the galleries was hardly complimentary to Sir John
Everett Millas; but then who looks at pictures at
private view? Mrs. John Woods attire recalled
that Of the robin redbreas, In Its mlngling Of red
covered her gown, and was trimmed with beaver.
Her hat was very high one, covered with thick en-
brOidery, and trimmed with u few feathers rampant.
She wore her hair la catogana style that soits her
admirably. Miss Lingard was IN moss.green and
beaver. Miss fortescues petite ngnre showed TO
cloth, trimmed with broad bands OF black galloon.
This contrast of brown and black is of the latest
inspirations OF the Partisan modisie.

The Washington Navy Yard.


Mr.. SowDEN's RESOLUTION TO RESULT In
SHOWING WHAT a GOOD INSTITUTION 1T IS.
The impression among members Of .he House
who have looked into the ordnance work of the
Washington navy yard is that Mr.. Sdwden will
De astonished at the figures shown in the Secre-
tary's reply to the resolution asking for the
amounts expended for ordnance since 1882.
The figures 1t is known will prove very credit
aDle TO the government work at the w ash1ng-
ton yard, and will show that work done there
Is as well done and at q less cost than it could
De by contract in Pennsylvania. Members of the
House naval committee have examined the
work done in the yard, and express astonish-
ment at its fine quality. From Commodore
Sicard they get a statement which shows that
the work done there by the government Is at q
much less cost than it can be got for by con-
tract. Great pride Is taken In the work, and 1t
is recommended to the committee that all or
greater part of the naval ordnance be manufac-
tured at the Washington yard. No action has
yet been taken by the committee, but 1t Is ex-
pected that, in view of the facts presented to
them by the department, and by their own
personal examinations, they will provide for
the manufacture OF the naval ordnance at these
works.
Mr.. McAdoo of New Jersey, member of the
naval affairs committee, says he thinks there is
no doubt that Congress will perfect and con-
t1nue the ordnance work at the Washington
navy yard. There is no doubt about the good
quality of the work done there, and it is done
very cheaply.
The naval committee, probably without an
exception, favor proper provision for doing
the government work there.

Hanging Unconscious Wen.
FoRD AND MURPHY, THE NEW ORLEANS MUIR


DERERs, CARRIED TO THE GALLONS.
The hanging OF Ford and Murphy in New Or
leans yesterday was a most remarkable execu-
ton. Both men attempted suicide during the
night by taking belladonna, which had. In
some way, escaped the vigilance OF their keep
ers. The poison failed Ia do it's work completes
iy, but IL prostrated the condemned men 10
such an extent that they We're taken To the
gallows In state OF stupor, unconscious and
utterly helpless. When sheriff Butler dscov-
cred the condition of the prisoners ne tele-
graphed 10 the governor: SHOULD they not
warrant Notwithstanding" The governor re-
piled: "Yes. Go on with the execution. Carry
out the warrant"
Preparations for the execution began at 1908
O'Clock, when the yard and corridors
cleared Of prisoners. Both men were lying in
their cots. Murphy was In a semi-conscious
state. Only once did he give evidence OF sensi-
bility, and then he held out his hand 10 Par and
endeavored to shake hands with him. At l2:so
Sheriff Butler, accompanied by several subord-
mates, proceeded TO the cell. where the men
were still under the care OF physicians. The
helpless forms were lifted and borne in the arms
of the deputies 10 the scafiOd. Here Murphy
and Ford, more dead than alive, were held erect
while the moses were drawn around their
necks. No sign of lie was observable I'm either
man. Nearly all present inroluptarily turned
away from the sickening sight. IL needed only
a few seconds for the executioner, In domino
and mask. 10 adjust the ropes and black caps.
He then re-entered his cage. Almost Instantly
the sharp swish" of the axe WAS heard as IL cus

with q jerk and then fell back. Death WAS in.
