ADJUSTMENTS.

"Claire and the Forge Master" was played
at the Metropolitan last night to crowded
house. 1t was well presented. Miss Sophie
Eyre in the chief role won the warm favor
of the audience. She is an artist of intelli-
gence, of clear judgment of the require
ments of her role and manifests that deli
cate sensibility that characteriZes the actor
who is competent to interpret text treating
of the deeper emotions. Charles Edmunds,
an old-time favorite in California, sur
prised even his friends by the capacity
with which he assumed the very difficult
role of the hero of the play. His wife, a
former resident of Sacramento, was warmly
greeted and proved herself as capable an
actress as ever. Miss Ida Aubrey in the
juvenile part was especially pleasing,
naturalness and ease in role so often over
doue, characterizing her assumption of the
part. Miss Lucy o Brien, for many years
a resident of Sacramento, and teacher in
the public schools of this city, had diff
ficult role and sustained it with entire sue
cess. She demonstrated that she has capac-
ity for the stage and the intellectual
strength to undertake dramatic work of an
exacting order. The friends of the lady
say, however, that it is her intention to
enter a profession of different order, she
having alreaN taken one years course in
leading medical college in the East, and to
which she will return at the close of the
winter dramatic season.

OLYMPIA, Wash July 20.-Several Of
the delegates to the constitutional con-
vention have expressed the conviction
today that the reports Of the committee
on preamble and bill of rights will aot be
sustained or approved by the convention.
The clause which appears 10 have evoked
the most serious comment and objection
is that relating TO the proposed abolition
of the grand jury system, making a com
mitmcnt by u justice of the peace equiv
slent to an indictment. The proposed
adoption Of any such fundamental piin-
ciple as this in the state constitution has
awakened considerable animadversion
and it is not considered likely to be rati.
fed. A conference Of the leading repub-
licans OF the state assembled this morning
for the purpose of agreeing upon some
harmonious plan Of action for the COM
mencement OF the first state campaign
and many would-be candidates are al
ready in the field.

Believe Hogan LIS hiding.

JACKSON, Mich, July 20.-The people
of Jackson are deeply interested in the
fate of Professor Hogan, the aeronaut,
who started out Tuesday in New York in
Campbell's air ship. Opinion is largely
divided as to his fate. Many think he
has gone down in the ocean, while others
arc OF the opinion that he is in hiding
somewhere for the purpose OF creating q
sensation and securing advertising. Still
others believe MIN safe, and that he will
turn up all right in q few days. Hogan
is kno Nn TO be a man Of iron nerves, and
no matter in what predicament he ,inds
himself, never loses his self control, he
was deeply interested in this ar ship,
and before leaving Jackson expressed the
utmost confidence ia its success. Yester-
day afternoon Mrs. Hogan received a
dispatch from Campbell as follows:
Have heard from Hogan. He is all
right and may be here today. When I
hear further particulars will wire quick"
Late last night Mrs. Hogan had heard
nothing further. She is nearly pros
trated with fear and anxiety, but still

LAKorA, OAK, July 20.-In view Of
the almost total failure Of the crops by
drouth in Nelson county, a call wa
signed by the leading business men Of
the county for a mass meeting to convene
today to devise ways and means to bridge
over the necessities Of the destitute farm
ers for the winter. The meeting was
called to order with j. II. Mclaughlin in
the chair. The committee on resolutions
made the following report, which was
adopted:
First-That a central committee be ap-
pointed, composed Of the following
named gentlemen: j. III. Mclaughlin,
j. A. Forbea, j. Ii. Rial, j.. A. Metcalf,
A. j. Gronna, to solicit aid for destitute
farmers 10 enable them TO live through
the winter, and commence work again in
the spring; also appointing the super
visors of each town "a board of distribu-
ton to see that the aid extended was
properly applied. There is no disguis-
ing the fact that with the frost of last
year and the drouth Of this season farm
ers in Dakota will need help to enable
them to pull through next winter.

NEW YORK, July 20.-From the testi-
mony heard today in the habeas corpus
proceedings brought in behalf of The
murderer. Kemmler, who was doomed to
be executed by the electric current, the
new method Of capital punishment re-
Gently authorized by the New York state
Legislature, 1t seems TO be doubtful
whether life could be e~xtinguished by
electricity with certainty or as swiftly
and painlessly rs by hanging. 1t is
equally among the uncertainties from the
phase which the investigation Of the
case has assumed today whether Kemm-
Ter can legally he subjected 10 the death
penalty now or not. Commissioner
Gi5bens. Mir. John II. Noble. Of
the Westinghouse company, MIR. Meade
q specialist in atmospheric electricity and
Franklin l.. Pope, the eminent electrical
scientist, declare that il is not possible TO
predict what the effect Of the electric
current upon a human being will be in
any given case and that resistance 10 cleo
trlcal shocks differs so greatly ia different
human beings that a current that might
be likely TO cause death in one case might
prove harmless in others. The evidence
already submitted in this extraordinary
case points TO the expedioncy or neces-
sity Of a ~peremptory repeal of
the new law. When the new statute
was enacted il was believed that
the execution OF the death sentence by
electricity would be more swift, certain
and painless than any other mode Of in
hicting capital punishment, but these
predictions are now proved to be alto
gether unreliable. As Kemmler cannot
be hanged in accordance with previously
existing statutes and justice itself recoils
from his being subjected to barbarous
and shocking experiments under the new
one, and as, moreover, he cannot be sem
fenced twice for the same crime, the
general conviction prevails today that
here must necessarily be a mitigation Of
his sentence.

around the whites, and if ii had not been
