WASHINGTON TOPICS
The Tariff Bill Will Run
Another Month.
MAJOR M'K1NLEY INTERVIEWED
he Does Not Look For an Adjournment
Before the Middle of September.

Talk About Mr.. BIAin0's Visit to the
President-The OrIginAl Package BnI
Passed by . Marrow nIajOrIty-Ths
Measure Now Goes to the President.
OkIahoma's First Election.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Senator Aldrich
will have disposed of the Tariff bill.
Major Mckinley, however. gives the
Senators until September to dispose
of it. He says:
eff the bill is sent ov er to the House
by September do n OF think 1t will
require more than a week to dispose of
1t there. 1t is impossible to estimate
the time that will be consumed by the
conference committee, but another week
would not be an extravagant allow
ance. We would, of course, save a
great deal of time If, when the bill is
received back by the House, the motion
to non-coneur without debate could be
passed. That, however, does not seem
at all likely"
"How much time will the Senate re-
quire Ito dispose of the Federal Elec-
lions bill2n
'I have no means of guessing. There
- AZ 1ooSOh1 AOWoNoEp why GuaL m6dB-
ure should not at once be taken up when
the Tariff bill is passed. The two
houses could then proceed together and
much time would be saved"
"You do not look, then, for an ad-
journment before the middle of Sep
tember2"
Hardly; though, of course, no one
can tell what may arise to expedite or
delay Congressional work. Moth ing
that is necessary can be left undone."

WORN OF THE SURGEONS.
Great Interest Taken In the Autopsy oil
KsmmIer's BODY.

AUBURN, Aug. From dispatches re-
ceived here last night and this morning
it is evident that the results of the
autopsy are of great interest to medical
men throughout the eou ntry.
The autopsy was in charge of DR.. Jen-
kins of New York, who handled the
knife, DR.. Daniel, DR.. Macdonald, and
DIR. Spitzka. DR.. Fell prepared the
blood drawn from the body for examin-
alton under the microscope.
Il was found when the body was
spread out on the table that a very
severe rigor mortis had set in. There
was little relaxation and 1t was
with difficulty that the corpse was
Strengthened out.
On examination it was found that
the second electrode had burned through
the skin and into the flesh at the base
of the spine. making a scar nearly Ave
inches in diameter. The heart, lungs
and other organs were found to be in
good healthy condition. They will be
preserved for further examination.
PHYSICALLY Kemmler was o fine speci-
men. The weight of the brain was 40
ounces, which is precisely the average.
Over the brain and beneath the spot
where the electrode- was applied the
blood was found to be like charcoal, all
the fluids having been evaporated. The
brain was lighter in color than 1t
should have been.
autopsy by short hand, transcribed and
prepared them for the signatures of
the examining surgeons, but some of
them left the city during the night, SO
the report will not be made immediate

New York, Aug. THE doctors from
this city who were present whe n
Kemmler was executed were kept busy
to-day answering calls from brother
physicians and members of the pr ess.
The general opinion is that the elect rio
taneously.
One witness gave this graphic
1900 volts of electricity poured
through him. His shoulders reached
up and his hands stiffened in q
great shudder. After being subj ected
for II seconds he was thought to be
dead. The current was turned off, the
electrodes were removed, and the sp &C.
tators came close to look at the dead
man.
'The man began to gaspSand gurgle !;
his breast hsaVed up and down with
convulsive breathing, and foam from
his white lips flowed over his clothing
and upon those who looked at him. He
was alive.
The current wac re-applied and kept
on for several minutes until the ma n
died. Then the body began to smoke
and the cath chamber was filled with
She odor of burning flesh. Some of the
witnesses nearly tainted and had to be
assisted from the room.
After the autopsy which was held,
the doctors wont away, carrying in
cans portions of Reminders body for
future dissection; and finally, what
remained of Kemmler was buried in
quicklime in the prison cemetery"

Mr.. BLAINE'S VISIT.


the President at Cape May.
WASHINGTON. Aug. THE recent
visit of Mr.. Blaine to the President at
Cape May Point was not altogether of q
social nature. There was a prolonged
conference on the seal fisheries question
and reciprocity.
Mr.. Blaine is reported on good
authority as maintaining the dootr inc
that the claims of the Government to
regard Behring Sea as q closed water,
like the Delaware or Chesapeake Bay,
cannot be successfully a1complis he'd,
and that the President claims it as
United States property, acquired by
treaty and purchase, and must be held
at all hazards.
Mr.. Blaine. being the guest of the
President, did not press his views, but
will in future Cabinet councils on the
subject. There were radical differences
of opinion reported on the reciprocity
question, and instead of Mr.. Blaine
being won over to the President, he ia
further from him than before the Cape
May Point meeting. There seems to be
small chance of concession enough on
either side to formulate any admins
tration policy.

LONDON INTERESTED.

The General Opinion ~ that Execution
by Electricity IL a Failure.
LONDON, Aug. THE newspapers and
press associations were on the qui vive
for news of the execution of Kemmler,
and eagerly sought every scrap of in
formation obtainable.
Every paper published detailed
account of the execution, and many of
them INDUCED in extended comment
and criticism on the method employed.
The use of electricity as a means of
capital punishment has excited much
scientific interest here. and the medi cal
experts were among the foremost TO
seek for details of the experiment.
Recently the London papers have
been flooded with sensational and
grossly misleading statements snent
the execution emenating from a New
York news agency. The general opinion
here is that execution by means of
electricity is failure.

WhKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. IA novel
scene was witnessed in the Registers
Office in the Court House. Some time
ago Michael Sidor, an industrious Aus
TRAN, sent to the old country for a
maiden who had agreed to become his
wife. Her name is Susan Kess, and he
paid her passage over and bought her
$50 worth of dresses. After doing all
this she fell in love with Mike Geysiek
and refused to marry Sidor. Both men
had procured marriage licenses, and to-
day, with the girl, appeared in the
Registers Office and asked Mr.. Schap-
pert to settle the matter, He heard the
testimony in the case and will give his
decision tomorrow,

been adopted by the Senate, the bill

AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. TIT is now
said that George B. Irish, of Albany,

the circuit through Kemmler's body.
He was one of the three persons in. the
room adjoining the execution cell.
The other two were Electrician Davis
and one of the prison keepers.
Mr.. Irish said to the special CORES
pondent of the United Press that the
voltage was ct no time below what the
doctors had said it ought to be. 1t is
understood that the voltage was be-

Gov. Hin VIII Wait for a Report.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. when asked
for his opinion about the Kemmler
execution, Gov. Hill said: II am not
prepared to give any opinion in this
matter yet. 1 am anxious to see the
law successfully carried out, and be-
lieve it will be. Further than this it
would be unfair to speak until an ex'
act report is made"

NEW YORK, Aug. THE necessity of
applying the electric current twice
before the condemned murderer Kemm-
Ter ceased to live is claimed by the
opponents of electrocution to prove
that the method as formulated by
Harold P. Brown is not a success. An
air of ill-concealed triumph was appa-
rent at the offices of the Westinghouse
company, and while the officers do not
come out fiat footed and say SO, they
are jubilant over the failure of Browns
machine

on the New York Central g. Hudson

ings to consider the situation have
been held by the different local assem-
blies every night since Thursday last.
District Assembly 246 has referred the
matter to the General Executive Board
Of the X. of l.. at Philadelphia, and it
is possible that Master Workman Pow
derby will visit this city the latter part
of the week.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-08-07

Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, the famous
electrician, spoke as follows about the
electrocution: "The trouble, to my
mind, lies wholly in the application of
the current to the victims body, the
working out of doctors theory in the
face of the plain demonstrations of
experience" He thinks the Governor
should call special session of the
Legislature and abolish the new law.
