on territories yesterday. The amendments to
the Senate bill offered by Representative Ba-
ker at the last meeting, providing that the bill
shall not be operative until It's provisions are
accepted by a majority vote OF the people of

the exception Of Chairman Hill (Democrat)
who voted with the Republicans in favor of
the amendments.
Mr.. Baker then moved TO report the Senate

THE EXECUTIONS TOMORROW.
sommerHold and Lee Ready 60 Die
All ARRANGEMENTS Completed.

All Arrangements Completed.
At the jail yesterday everybody seemed
busy doing one thing or another as means
Of preparation for the double execution to-
morrow Of Lewis sommerGeld aud Richard
Lee. Engineer Ward, under the directions
Of Deputy Warden Russ, examined and oiled
the springs and bolts Of the scaffold aud It's
other working apparatuses. The ropes that
are to be used for the hanging were severely
tested and creased The fatal moose was
also tied. The ropes will be placed in POI
sition tomorrow morning.
To-day the ropes will undergo another
test. Heavy weights will be used In the
test. The scafTold was designed by Mr..
Russell, assistant engineer at the jail, and
was put up by Engineer j. T. Ward. IL is
10 feet square by 12 feet high. It was first
used for the hanging Of Jim Stone, April 2,
1850. IL was then erected In the yard.
subsequently II was removed inside Of the
jail and placed at the northeast corner OF
the northern corridor, where IL has stood
since that. IL is made of the best select
white pine. The drop is four and n half
feet. The trigger is worked by rope con-
cealed In box which runs into an adioin-
ing cell
Since the jail was built, Dec. IL, 1879, the
following executions have taken place /.
April 2, 1880, James NJ. w. Stone; Nov. 10,
1880, Ed Queenan and Babe Bedford; June
30, 1882, Charles j. Guiteau; Jan. 10, 1885,
Charley Shaw; May Is, 1896, LANCASTER. All
Of the criminals were executed on the
present scaffold. Yesterday Lee was
visited by the Rev. Mr.. Williams, OF the
Israel M. L. Church, who, assisted by Rev.
Mr.. Roberts, baptized the murderer, and af-
terward administered the holy communion
to him. Lees two brothers also saw him.
Lee and SommerHeld have no hope Of being
reprieved, and express themselves as fully
resigned to their fate. Sommerheld said to
his guard, Capt. Torrens, that he was ready
at any moment for his death. Both men are
In good health, and during their conRne-
ment they have not given any trouble to

The Clerks Early Closing Association held
a large and very enthusiastic meeting last
night at Washington Hall, East Washington.
The meeting was by far the largest one ever
held in that section Of the city, every seat in
the large hall being occupied Not only the
clerks attended, but many merchants were
also present and manifested considerable in
terest in the movement. The meeting was
presided over by w. ii. Daniel, who introduced
as the flrst speaker Mr.. =. II. Bowen, whose
address was mainly devoted to an explanation
of the objects and aims of the Knights of
Labor, In which he urged thorough organiza-
ton. Mr.. Il. w. Oyster, president of the Fed.
Grafton of Labor Unions was the next speaker.
He said that the clerkswould succeed as their
cause is just but they must organize.
Mr.. Oswald Ward, of the United states labor
bureau, said that one OF the advantages already
gained by the clerks was that some of the min-
listers OF the city are now proclaiming from
their pulpits in favor of early closing and OF
the eight-hour law; this could not have been
done a few years ago.
Mr.. Fulton +. Cant, the last speaker, said
that this business is n serious one, the most
important that has ever been attempted In
this country. The line has been drawn. You
are the laborlng classes. Have you rs class
any rights? Statistics show that 95 per cent.
of the merchants of this day fail, and all that
any clerk can now hope for is TO make good
living. The time has passed when he could
hope TO go into business for himself.
