THE EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS.
Doctors Could Provide q Simple Method
Of Poisoning to be Given in Sleep.

From the Electrical Engineer
The Electrical Engineer does not share the
feeling expressed by some electricians that the
employment OF the electric current in capital
punishment would disgrace or stigmatize their
vocation. We take the liberty, however, to
point out the following paragraph from the re-
port of the commission:
"Your commissioners are fully convinced
that if the criminal could be put to death in
certain and eficacious manner the purpose Of
the law would be achieved equally well as if
the terrors Of death were enhanced by the
infection Of prolonged physical torture before
the end was finally accomplished. Various sug-
gestions have been made as to the means Of &C.
complishing such a result. One has been the
injection of a violent and sudden poison, such
as prussic acid, by means Of the hypodermic
needle, into the body of the condemned, which
is open to the very serious objection that the
use of the instrument is so associated with the
practice Of medicine and az a legitimate means
of alternating human suffering that it is hardly
deemed advisable to urge its application for
the purpose OF legal executions against the
almost unanimous protest Of the medical pro-
fession." , r
We are not told when and how the medical
profession was polled on the question, but tho
above paragraph clearly implies that the sug-
gestion of poison was satisfactory but for the
feelings of the doctors 1t has always seemed
to us that the question Of simpler and more
humane executions could be best met by physi-
clans. There is no doubt that they could pro-
vide a simple method of poisoning, which could
be applied with no expectant attention on the
part OF the condemned - unawares, soy in
sleep, il desirable, as we think it is-and which
would be nearer certain to infict no conscious
physical suffering than any other means
hitherto suggested.

THE MIKADO'S SON.
Japan's Future Sovereign Being Edu-
Gated According to Western Notions.

From the San Francisco Examiner
His imperial highness. Prince Haru, heir ap-
parent to the throne of Japan, is now in his
tenth year. delicate child in his early days,
he has happily acquired health and strength as
years went by. No imperial prince in this en-
pire has ever been similarly brought up. The
princes mode of life is modelled almost entirely
upon western lines. He attends the mobiles
school daily, and studies precisely as do his fell
low-students. The Ohoyd Shimbun says that in
both literature and military science he has made
extraordinary progress, but of what this bugei
military science) consists we cannot pre-
cisely say. In olden times a noble Japanese
began, at a very early age, to study the use of
the bow, the sword and the lance, but even in
the case of an imperial prince skill in managing
such weapons scarcely continues to be included
among essential accomplishments. Doubtless
Prince Haru takes lessons in fencing and eques-
trianism as part OF his school course and in
archery as pastime. The Choyd tells us that
he has O cold bath every morning; that his diet
is chiefly meat; that he has shaken himself en-
tirely free from petticoat government; that his
constant companions are officers and tutors,
that he is fond Of visiting beautiful scenery. as
at Enoshima and Atami; that he plays on the
seashore and in the woods like any ordinary
boy and that in consequence he is lusty
and active. Our contemporary quotes Mr..
Takasaki, vice grand master of the board of
ceremonies, as saying that If such an education
had always been given to the youthful Daimyo.
the present representatives Of that body would
occupy a very different place in the national
polity, and that the history of Japan during
the past two thousand years contains no in
stance OF the heir to the throne being brought
up in such a manner. We learn on the same
authority that Prince Haru treats everybody,
even to the lowest of those about him, with the
greatest courtesy. That he takes keen inter-
est in his fellow-students at the mobiles school,
making minute inquiries whenever any one OF
them is prevented by sickness from attending,
and that his conduct is in every respect eI-
empiary.

A VERY HANDSOME DUEL.
Fought After Dark and Nobody Dam.
aged-Not So in the Good Old Days.

From the Albany Times.
That duel of two Atlanta railroad men on
Saturday evening was truly q noble affair Of
the kind. 1t is to be hoped that full and par
ticuiar report of it will be read all through
France, SO as to encourage editors and public
men there to a better understanding Of the
true code. One Of these contestants fred five
shots in rapid succession at his opponent only
twelve PAGES away, and did not touch him.
The other fred one shot, which cut twig near
his opponents head. Then reservins his four
remaining shots, he made a simple explanation
OF the remarks out Of which grew the diff
Guilty, the other combatant withdrew the state
ments which he had made under q misappre-
hension, and the remaining four shots were
hred in the air. All was forgiven, both received
the highest praise for their courage, and all
concerned (including the families of both and
the people Of the city which owes q great deal
to the enterprise and public spirit of both)
superb duel, one of kind to commend the in
stitution to all right-minded men, if it should
be arranged in all similar affairs that the bull
lets be drawn from each weapon beforehand in
order TO avoid any possible casualties.
This duel, indeed, exceeds in interest the
Swartwout figured, back Of Weehawken, in
1902, when it was every gentlemen's duty to
stand up and be shot by any one who chose to
demand the opportunity. The quarrel between
the two was political, and, consequently. in
those days was very bitter. 1t was not a case of
our higher civilization, where the two antagonists
denounce each other as liars and poltroons,
and open battle together in harmony at the
next corner saloon. Clinton and Swartwout
met determined to hurt Clinton hit Swart-
won't Ave times, and each time Swart-
won't demanded another shot. Once he was hit

the remark that he had no patience with man

INDIANS IN ARMS.
Hostile Pallagers Threaten Death to
ANY One Signing to Sell the Reservation

The first word received from the Indian
commission at Leech Lake reservation reached
Brainerd, Mimi, yesterday morning by a half
breed. He says the Pallagers on that reserva-
ton are in deadly quarrel over the presence
of the commission and about equally divided as
to signing. Those opposed to the sale threaten
death to the first person who signs, and as a
consequence no one has yet signed The COM
missioners have devoted their whole efforts 90
far to preventing conflict.
The opponents are, the runner states, fully
armed with Winchester rifles, and have gone SO
far as to threaten all the whites on the reserve
The commissioners are safely lodged at Sim
Weaver's ranch near the old trading post. The
Directing Indians are bitter because they have
not been paid for the damage to their rice
fields from water from the Washburn dams, SO
called. Just before this runner left Leech
Lake mounted messenger was dispatched by
the commissioners, who rode swiftly to the
southwark, it Ia believed, with urgent dis
patches for the government or for the governor
of the state, possibly asking for troops.
Another Indian just in later reports that
young buck, a relative of Falmouth, the chief
there, was shot Sunday night for favoring the
signing. Falmouth himself is absent from the
reservation.
