SAN JOSE BUILDING.
Clunie, Morrow and McKenna Call Upon
the President.


WASHINGTON, April Goth. = President
Harrison having given evidences of his
disapproval of the appropriation for the
San Jose public building, the California
delegation has been exerting every influ-
ence to prevent the veto. Messrs. Morrow
and Mckenra accompanied Clunie to see
the President, who seemed to be doubtful
of the propriety of appropriating 5000, 900
where the Office rent was only 81 200 per
annum.
MIR. Clunie showed him a telegram from
Morris O'Brien, the proprietor of the Post
| office building, saying that as the present
quarters were unsuitable the citizens were
raising an amount by private subscription
TO make up the difference between 81, 200
and 81 600 per annum, which last amount
| was needed to insure commcdous apart
ments.
The delegation explained that the San
Jose Postotfice receipts were $35, 900 and
had been steadily and rapidly increasing
each year. Clunie telegraphed to Senator
Stanford and d. o. Mills to use their in
tiuenCe. Both answered that they would
exert every influence 1t is believed that

AUBURN On. ", April Goth. - The

the first electr0cution was adopted by the
Warden after studying the question very
thoroughly. At the first glance it looks
like one OF those heavy high backed chairs.
such as are found in halls. Itis made verv
strong, indeed. There is high back piece
running up to the top of a mans head
when he is seated in the chair. This back
piece is adjustable, so that it can be raised
or Lowered to the required hight. At a
right angle with the back runs rod which
extends overhead; to the end of this q rub
Der cap containing sponge is fastened with
a spiral spring. Thus any motion of the
head would not cause the cap to be dis
placed from where the containing current
connects with the cup above The other
eleclrode-that is what these cups through
which the electricity passes are called-is
placed on the back of the chair, so that it
will come in contact with the base of the
spine while the victim is in the chair. A
wire runs down to the floor and out of the
room.
Kemmler has been sentenced to die
sometime during the week beginning with
April 2Sth. The execution must take
place within the prison walls The time
is at the option of the Warden He may
execute Kemmler at five minutes after mid
night on Sunday next, or five inmates be-
fore midnight on the fJllowing Sunday.

Disgracefui Scenes.
CHICAGO, April 20th.-The action of the
two rival conferences of the Evangelical
Church in each appointing a pastor for
every church in the State, resulted in seri-
Gus trouble at the Humboldt Park Church
in this city to-day. Rev. Morloch was to
preach his farewell sermon and his sue
cessor to be installed The adherents and
appointees of both conferences were on
hand. Bishop Esher's conference had ap.
pointed Rev. John Vetter and the other
faction Rev. A. Heilman When pastor
Morloch and pastor-elect Hilman attempt
ed to close the Sunday school, preparatory
to the other services, Superintendent
Kreuser and pastor-elect Vetter demanded
their authority.
Immediately the congregation leaped
from the seats and one party seized Vetter
while Heilman jumped down from the
pulpit.
The confusion was made worse by women
and children rushing for the door and
Vetter's friends shrieking, "They are kill
ing our PASTOR" while his opponents
yelled, 'Out with him."
Vetter was finally landed outside, and
Notwithstanding his license from the Con.
ference WAS refused admittance by He'll

occurrence, but saying Christ was the only

OPPOSING WAITE.
Justice Field is Resenting an Old Griev-


ance.
WAsHINGToN, April 2oth.-The Califor.
MA Associated Press reporter talked with
certain members of the California delegation
about the DELAY in the confirmation OF the
appointment of E. G. Waite as Register Of
the Land Office IN San Francisco Each
member seen disclaimed any direct knowl-
edge OF the opposition to the confirmation
but gave rumors that Justice Field was the
active opposition to Waite, on account oil
an article which appeared in the Overland
Monthly last October.
The article alluded to reiterates the fa.
nous Hill-Sharon case and saws: "The
trial resulted in verdict for the plaintiff,
although the Court admitted that the
| case reeked with perjury on both sides
Last year Justice Field made a decision
which blasted the hopes of the plaintiff.
She exhibited passionate resentment, and
when the Marshal attempted to remove
her iorcibly Terry. seeing his wife strug.
Cling in the officers hands, had.his chivalry
aroused and attempted to rescue her
Both Terry and his wife were committed
to the Alameda County JAIL etc.
The article further says: "It is to be OBJ.
served in this connection that Fields de.
cision was not only adverse but involved
the plaintiff s character; that Sharon's wife
having been notorious, Terry entertained
conviction that his wife was a deeply
wronged woman, and this excited his high
sense of chivalry. do not offer this as a
palliation but as an explanation" saws
Waite. There are complications growing
out of the action of the Federal Court
about which the best lawyers differ, but |
will not discuss them here"
The article speaks of Terry as a man of
honest convictions and pure domestic life.
1t says be was the soul of honor and would
not barter his honor for pelf either as a
lawyer or jurist. He was never accust j
of selling his clients, and it was neeer
elarged that he acted in the inter Ut of
wealth that corrupts.
1t is believed among some of the Con-
gressmen that Justice Field interprets the
last few lines as imputing the charges, by
lnnuendo. against himself. and for this rea-
son IS actively opposing Waite's confirma-
ton

Al. .Heriot, the owner of the big store
called the Louvre in Paris, was sent to the
Insane Asylum by his relations because he
insisted in giving S1,000,000, which he
could readily afford to lose, to founding an
orphanage for soldiers children. The
local authorities finally ordered that he
should be removed from private asylum
and placed in public one and it was
quickly found that he was not insane at

$50. Fully twenty occupants of the build

WAITE'S APPOINTMENT.
The Reason Why He has Not Been Con-
firmed by the Senate


WASHINGTON, April 20th-A California
Associated Press reporter called upon Con-
gresham Morrow yesterday and asked WHY
the confirmation of Z. G. Waite as Register
of San Francisco was held up in the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Morrow said: II am aware that the
delay in this matter is causing much in-
convenience, but it seems as if the Senate
stands adverse to the confirmation.
Whence does the opposition arise ?''
asked the reporter.
Senator Stanford could answer that bet
ter than myself" said Mr.. Morrow. ''Stan-
ford would know all about it, and he is
now in San Francisco. | only know the
rumors about the matter"
What are the rumors ?"
well, said Morrow, 81. is rumored that
the opposition to the confirmation comes
chiefly from Justice Field, on account of an
article about Judge Terry which Waite
published in the Overland Monthly about
last November"
What are the prospects for Waite's nom
ination ?"
II can't say but probably Mr.. Stanford
would be able TO tell the people of San
