~ExEcurKD.-James Wasson, a white
man, and Joe Jackson, negro, were
hanged at Fort Smith last Friday upon
the now gallows just erected. Antici-
pating a respite United States Marshal
Carroll postponed the hour Of execu-
tion until afternoon. At 2o'clock the
prisoners were dressed and the death
warrants read. They were then ironed
and after bidding their fellow prisoners
good bye we're taken to the scafiold at
3 o'clock. Before being handcufted
jackson attempted to cut his throat
with bottle that some of the prisoners
used as flower vase, but was prevent
ed by the guards after he had cut an
ugly cash in his neck. Some delay
occurred at the gallows awaiting Was
sons minister. After the minister's
prayer the doomed men bade each
other good bye, and as the ropes were
adjusted bade their last farewell to the
guards, reporters and others present.
The drop was sprung at S:46 p. M, and
both men died without a struggle.
The execution was witnessed by about
one hundred people, mostly deputy
marshals, guards and reporters. Both
men protested their innocence. Jack
son said the witnesses swore lies against
him. This makes seventy -one hanged
at Fort Smith within the past twelve
years. all for murders committed in this
territory. Wasson war convicted oi
the murder Of Henry Martin, in the
Chickasaw nation in 1881. Had he
been acquitted or roommuted the charge
Of numbering Almarine Watkins would
have at once confronted him and Ia
this the proof was almost positive
Jackson killed his wife in the Choctav
nation about year ago, for no othei
apparent reason except that ga wom@
is heap Of trouble" as he said. "

Rep. Dickey moved the indefinite
postponement of the bill, and on
the same grounds as he had made a
similar motion yesterday, in the case
of L. w. Everett.
Rep. Thurston said if the same
spirit prevails to-day as did yester-
day, the passing of this bill is n
foregone conclusion, but he should
put himself on record as opposed to
it. He believed the real meaning
of the bill was that the Judge was to
be shelved to make room for some
favorite and the Ministers did not
want to incur the odium of turning
worthy public officer adrift un-
provided for.
Rep. kaunamano was in favor of
the settlement. The judge is en-
gagged in writing book on the Ha-
waiian Islands, and if this bill
passes, he may refer in compliment
tary and grateful terms to the pres
ent Legislative Assembly. He may
insert the Biographies and pho5c-

COMPLIMENTARY TO iDf. w. C.
PARKE.

In the discussion of the bill before
the House, yesterday afternoon, 10
confer permanent settlement on
the Hon. w. G.. Parke, that gentle
man was referred to by all the
speskers in highly complimentary
terms, even by those who, on princ-
pie, opposed the granting of the
pension. No higher compliment
could be paid retired public SER
want than that conveyed by the
Hon. c. r.. Bishop,-a gentleman
unaccustomed to saying what he
does not know and feel-when he
said that she had listened with
pleasure to all that had been said in
Mr.. Parke's favor. He believed 1t
to be true. He had known Mr.
Parke very well within few days
of forty years. Throughout this
whole incumbency of Office he had
never heard his faithfulness or
honesty questioned. He was always
ready in times of sickness, danger,
or trouble" A eulo2y of this
nature cannot be otherwise than gra-
tifying to man who has served his
country continuously for thirty-four
years, especially coming from one
who, in his public capacity as a
member of the House, feels it his
duty to vote against the granting of
a pension to the veteran. There are
but few, if any, in this community
or on these islands who are not
ready to endorse Mr.. Bishops
panegyric. During Mr.. Parke's
long term of service he was espe-
cially the true and trusted friend of
the native Hawaiian. Scarcely Il
man lives to-day with so large a
share i'm the native affection and
confidence as the man who was
thirty-four years Marshal of the
Kingdom. Among the foreign
element, all who know anything of
the man or his public career, in
Guiding those who may not at all
times have endorsed his Official
acts, cheerfully concede that he was
an honest, upright, conscientious,
faithful public servant.
