IT WAS HANGMAN'S DAY.

A Double Execution at Fort smith with
Some Sensational Scenes
FORT SMITH, Ark. Aug 80 "A double
hanging occurred here to-day The two
men were JACK Spanieo. a Cherokee Indian,
and VIM. Walker, negro. Both were
murderers. Walker listened 70 the reading
of the death warrant with seeming ind fer
ence. Spanieo, when the guard entered his
cell 10 handcuf him, seized a chair and
threatened to beat to death any one who
touched him. His object was 70 induce the
guards 20 shoot. He begged Jailer Pope to
shoot him. Three quarters of an hous was
required to induce him TO listen 20 reason
and then he submitted to being manacIed.
Arriving at the gallows some time was
spent in religious devOtiOns. The nOOses
were then adjusted, the black caps placed
aud the trap sprung. The necks of both
were broken by the fall.
Spanieo was hanged for the murder of
United States Deputy Marshal Erwin
year ago, while endeavOring to rescue
criminal from the officers. Walker muir
dered Calvin Church, colored, a year and
half ago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-At the opening or
of the criminal court this morning the
states-attorney announced his readiness to
proceed at once with the Cronin murder
trial. A special venire was issued for fifty
jurors, returnable at 2 O'Clock, to which
time the court adjourned
When the afternoon session began il was
announced that only half of the fifty tales
men had been secured, but the defense
waived any technical objection on this
ground. Then Lawyer Donohue, on be-
half of his clients, O'Sullivan and Kupze,
objected to the appearance of Attorneys
Hynes, Mills and Ingham as assistants to
the states attorney in the prosecution, on
the ground that they had been employed
by private persons, and on the further
grounds that Hynes had a personal animos-
ity against O'Sulllyan- Lawyers Forest
and Kennedy made similar objections on
behalf of Coughlin and Burke. The motion
was overruled and the questioning of tales
men began. A G.. Barger was subjected
TO rigid examination and accepted by the
state. Three other talesmen were seized
by the state before adjournment. K. S
w. 5. Bregley and A w. Roth.
An afternoon paper gives publication to
a rumor to the effect that Cooney, "The
Fox" who is under Indictment with the
other Cronin suspects, is in Milwaukee
and will be produced at the trial when
wanted. The authorities decline TO say
anything on the subject.

WASHINGTON, Aug 3O.-In commenting
on the statu of Chinese in British Col
umbia, Col. Stevens, of Victoria, in a re-
port to the department, says: The number
of this race, formerly so great in the
province, at one time estimated at n, 600 or
q, 600 has largely decreased, the present
Chinese population, as given from official
quarters, being 5000. Nearly One-half of
them, think, are in this city. Their i'm
migration hither has practically ceased
during 1883. In the two last months OF
1887 557 arrived at Vancouver on Orient
steamers. Probably tWO-thirds of them
held United States customs returns certif-
Gates, and entered the United States, most.
ly aJ san Francisco. During the same
period, according 10 the customs
returns, of this city, go ar.
rived here in small numbers from
ya-ious points. There has been no arrival
al any port in the province direct from
China, save those recorded above. Al
though the business of Chinese firms has.
except In opium. generally decreased. there
are, according TO the directory for 1855. still
some twenty firms. The laboring class
end periodical work in the salmon can
neries and on the main land at the lumber
mills, gardening, etc. Some 400 or 500 find
employment as domestic servants. Some
OF them ind their way illegally into the
United States from time to time, but not

The Commercial Conference.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30-In the com
mercial conference to-day the ereports of the
committees made yesterday were adopted
with some amendments. In the maritime
report the reference to free ships was
stricken out and In its stead was adopted
a recommendation that the French bounty
system be adopted. The report favOTing
a Pacific ocean cable was adopted. The
committee appointed to confer with Chair
man Cooley, Of the interstate commerce
commission, reported his views on the re-
lAtioDs of Canadian railroads regarding
the application Of the inter-stat law to the
Canadian Pacific road. or the abolition of
the bonding system. Two lengthy reports
were submitted, the majority deeming il
an unwise time to urge congress TO take
action In these premises; the minority
favoring the abolition of the law granting
foreign railways the privilege of carrying
domestic goods TO domestic points. ResO-
lutions were presented in the conference
setting forth that the long and short haul
clause in the inter state commerce law
works to the permanent disadvantage of
the Pacific coast, and urging its repeal or
modification.

The manifestOes signed by all the London

ABOUT THE BAKING POWDERS.

Government Chemists Say There is Moth
ing Particularly Harmful IN Them.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S0-The baking
powder Investigation, which has been con-
Quoted under the direction of chemists of
the department of agriculture, has been
completed and the results compiled in q
bulletin form. Analyses were made of q
large number of samples of various baking
powders and the conclusions derived there
from, the report says, are not such as 70
create any general alarm lest the Ameri-
can people should suffer injury TO health
from the use Of baking powders; at the
same time they show c0nclnsively the
error of a popular impression prevailing
hitherto that all chemicals used in the pro-
ductiou OF baking powders are expelled
during the process OF baking AS 10 the
character Of the residue left In the bread
and its effects upon health, the bulletin
properly assigns decision o. tnh. .:s port

strict line of duty of a chemist ends with
revealing It's constituents. The analysis
OF twelve powders are gwen. tneir selec-
ton being based upon the proper

In conjunction with the minimum alkaline

character as seidlitz powder. and In guam
tity exceeding that of an ordinary seidlitz
powder by over 80 per cent Still IN this,
as in most cases, the character OF the resi-
due in proportion found can hardly be re-
garded as generally hurtful. The report says
an exception ought to be made in regard 10
the class of powders containing alum, TO
which there is more serious objection The
report gives some interesting facts as TO
the baking powder industry, and says the
American people pay at least SIS, ,0OO, 900

sentatives OF Great Brisian, Germany and
America, which assembled at Berlin in the
spring. agreed upon a convention regulat-
ing the government of those islands. This
instrument has been accepted by me and
by the Emperor of Germany and now
awaits the assent of the American senate.
"I much regret that pressure upon your
time prevented the passing of the bill con-
ferring a responsible government on my
subjects in western Australia, and trust that
this very desirable object will be effected
st an early period. | have assentPd with
much pleasure to the bill for bringing the
less prosperous portions Of Ireland into

OF q systematic extension of railways.
This provision will confirm the in
