might have easily killed himself with this.
He finally gavethe ball to Mrs. Durston,
the Warden's wife.
1t has been such hard fight to execute
the sentence of the law upon kemmler tnat
some people vet believe he will cheat tne
executioner. There is talk now that an ef-
fort will be made to obtain for him a COM
mutation of sentence on the ground that ne
has already suffered a thousand deaths iu
the delays attendant upon has execution
1t is possible that such an effort may pe
made, but there is no likelihood OF hemm-
ler's sentence being commuted. WhateVer
DELAYS there were about his execution were
caused by the struggles that he OF MS
friends made for his life.
A FIENDIsH CRIME.
The crime that be committed was as hend-
ish one as could be imagined. He hacked
his wife into half dozen pieces. He is an
ugly, cowardly, savage minded and dull
minded brute. 1t is true that his long con-
fnement has refined and softened him some
what, as in the case of all condemned MUIR
derers, and it Is also true that the feeling
this criminal al first aroused is sottened into
one Of natural pity and sympathy for fel-
low creature who, after long and stubborn
fight, has now lost his last hope, and sees
death drawing near to him, slowly but with
memorable certainty.
Meanwhile the arrangements for the exc
cution are progressing, and are, in TACT,
practically completed. But little work was
necessary for Warden Durston and his
assistants this time as the preparations for
the former execution were so exact. Ihe
death chair, death chamber, dynamo and
electric wires have been in readiness for
months. DR.. E. c. Spitza, of New York,
will perform the autopsy.
There is a great deal of query Of course as
to the time OF the execution. but common
sense would seem to indicate that it be held
on Tuesday morning

CITY OF MEXICO, August IA large
iron manu- facturing house in Philadelphia
has offered to sell and deliver to Salvador
from 500 to 1000 cannon now stored on an
island in the West Indies. While the firm
say the guns are not new, they are servicea-
ble.- The statement that Captain
Phelan had made a proposition to
furnish Guatemala with 5000 men if
they guaranteed him $50, has led
Senior Pou, confidential agent of Salvador,
to see Minister Ryan this morning, as it ap-
pears that Salvador has no representative
near the United States Government. Pou,
while not believing such a proposition has
been made, desired to be on the safe side,
and saw Mr.. Ryan for the purpose of asking
the United States to prevent any such ex-
pedition.
Manuel Diegnez, Gautemalan Minister,
said to-day that Senor Cruz, the Gautema-
Ian Minister to the United States, had not
been recalled and will not be. Senor deg

Guatemala. He says that outside of the
invasion of the Salvadorans everything
has been as quiet as usual. The statement
that a revolution has been started on the
Mexican frontier of Guatemala is incorrect
Late dispatches show that everything Is

Mexico and Guatemala will open It's session
tomorrow here The convention is called
upon the same basis as was the one between
Mexico and the United States under the
treaty for the settlement of claims
concluded between those two countries
July 4, 1868. Owing to the boundary
line between Mexico and Guatemala
being underlined, difficulties have arisen
between the authorities on both sides from
time to time, and this convention is called for
the purpose of settling these differences. The
convention will have tendency to remove
the friction upon tine frontier between
Chiapas and Guatemala which has been ln-
tense at times and bring about better rela-
tions between the Republics.
