Capital Punishment.

The passage hy pronounced majority Of
the House OF Representatives. Of New York,
of bill abolishing capital punishment. WAS
q genuine surprise to the great majority OF
the people Of ihat state. The proprcty and
cNpcdiucy of such measure WAS mot de-
batcd. as ID certainly should have been. for DO
il very evident that the experience of several
of the STATES in the same direction has de-
mou~tratod beyond the peradtenturc 0i

NAVAL NUGGETS.

Legislation Eagerly Awaited-The Enter
prise TO Go Out of Commission.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The naval
authorities are awaiting with keen in
terest the outcome'of the present delib-
erations by the senate appropriation
committee ON the subject of appropria-
tions for new ships. For the past week
the subcommittee in charge of the naval
appropriation bill has been interviewing
the secretary Of the navy and officers Of
the department with the view of getting
an intelligent conclusion AS to the most
desirable typeo of war vessel.
The concensus of opinion of those in
terrogated is strongly in favor of the
battle ship and torpedo boat. The bill
as it came from the house, provided for
three battle ships and one large cruiser.
Mr.. Hale hopes that the committee will
increase the number of battle ships to
eight and provide for eight or ten tor
pedo boats of the Gushing type.
There is some difference of opinion
among other members Of the committee
as to the advisability of increasing the
number of battle ships owing to their
cost, but on the torpedo boat question
the members are understood to be prac-
tically unanimous and an appropriation
for at least ten Of these is expected. The
remarl able performance of the Gushing
since her arrival here has unques-
tiopably had good effect upon mem
bers of the two houses

Being Rapidly Pushed.

The Plants ON the Flooded Ground MAX

Closing the Breaks In the Levees to Be
gin as Soon as PossibIe-The situation
at Huntington had Indeed.
GREENvILLE, Miss, May 20.--The
backwater has gone off quite rapidly
during the past week, and planting has
been pushed all along the line except
north Of Greenville. The entire over
flow region, except low places of limited
area, has been planted. The heavy rains
of last Tuesday and Wednesday were
unfavorable to cottone planting. The
general expression of planters is that
the plant of the past week shows up
better than that ON land which was not
overfiowed.
The levee board is making all possible
preparations to commence to close the
gaps in the levees in this district, which
will begin as soon as possible. Capt.
Hiner has returned from an inspection
of the four crevasses above Greenville.
He says there is considerable but rap
lNliJ uliiAhAaHluB AliuOW dO SdbAAou pOAuI,
which will cease about May 90, at the
present rate of fall. At Easton, except
in narrow and shallow depression, the
flow will cease by Monday. Neither of
these present serious obstacles to tenn
porary closing, but at Huntington the
situation is much worse.
Here there is a very deep cut nearly
500 feet wide, and from the side of the
break clear into the river channel. This
cut is extended inland from the levee by
three long, deep outlets or prongs. The
north prong is about 100 feet wide and
measures "a feet deep, 1900 feet from
the levee. The center one cuts from the
levee back to Timber lake and is about
200 feet wide and Is feet deep. The
south prong is not ever rs feet wide, 28
feet deep and is lost about $50 feet back
in wooded depression.
1t is feared it will prove difficult, if
not impossible, to effect any immediate
closure of the Huntington break.

The Warlike Utterances of the

Mr.. Jephson's Book--william o'Brien's
Approaching Marriagc-Foreign
BERLIN, May 20.--Short as the emper-
or's utterances at Konigsberg were, they
sufficed to irritate the Russian govern
ment and dispel all illusions regarding
the possibility of a renewal of the en-
tente with Russia. The newspapers have
minimized the references to war in the
speech of Wednesday by treating them
as mere obiter dicta, without special
bearing upon Russia. But his final at.
terance when leaving contained an aIlu-
sion which it is impossible to misunder-
stand. Il shall not allow" said the EN-.
peror, 4my provinces here in the east to
be touched. Those attacking them will
find that my strength is as that of
rock"
As Russia is the only possible frontier
assailant of East Prussia, his words, es-
pecially in view Of their following his
first aggressive declaration, are now in
*
aimed against Russia. The Svet treats
them as direct and unprovoked threat
The Grashdanin urges the cars minis
ters to consider whether the speech is
consonant with further arrangements to
receive Emperor William at Krasnoe
Szelo. The Novoe Vremya holds that
the words of the emperor overstepped
proper bounds, and that they ought to
be officially noticed Within the official
circle here the emperor's deliverance
caused no surprise, in view of advices
from Paris pointing to closer relations
between the French and Russian foreign
Offices
Whatever may be the czars opinion
of the value of the French alliance, the
czar's advisers cultivate it. His uncle.
the Grand Duke Nicholas. has left Paris
after prolonged stay. during which he
responded to the assiduous counting Of
NJ. Ribot, the minister of foreign affairs,
and other officials, with eager cordiality.
The grand dukes last act before leaving
France was to wire effusive regrets TO
the admiral commanding the French
Mediterranean squadron over the death
of Admiral Dupetit Thouars. Some
time ago the late admiral was u guest
on board Russian warship, when the
grand duke toasted the navies Of France
and Russia.
Another pregnant fact is Chan
cellor Won Caprivi's announced design
to place one of the two new army corps
on the Russian frontier.
The emperor did not without fore
thought say that, if obliged to draw the
sword those who troubled peace would
find the German blows MS heavy as they
were twenty years ago. Both speeches
contain a yelled but emphatic declara-
the vigilance of its chiefs against the
common enemy.

Terrible Powder Explosion at Havana.

Over One Hundred Injured.
HAVANA, May 20.-At II o'clock Sat
urday night fire broke out in Ysasis'
hardware store. In short time the
flames reached a barrell of powder in the
building, and terrible explosion fol-
lowed. The whole structure was blown
to pieces, and twenty-five persons were
killed. Among the dead are four fire
chiefs. Seniors Mussett, Sensoviech, Os-
car Conill, Francesca Ordonez and the
Venezuelan consul. Senior Francesca
Silva, who happened to be in front of the
building at the time of the explosion. In
addition to the killed over 100 persons
are injured.
The explosion caused the widest ex-
citement throughout the city, and thou
sands flocked to the scene of the disas-
ter. Governor general, the civil gov
ernor and all the principal authorities of
the city were promptly on the ground,
and did everything in their power to aid
the injured and calm the grief-stricken
relatives of the victims. Several houses
adjacent to the wrecked building were
damaged by the explosion.
