THE HUMANE WAY.

The situation of KENINILER. the New
York murderer, is spoken of as cruel
because he is not given an exact date
for his execution. His sentence under
the law leaves it in the hands of the
custodian to determine the day, after
the lawyers and the courts have COM
pleted their quibbllng. In the hanging
business, except when operated by
Judge Lynch, the hour is always left to
the convenience of the executioner. 1t is
possible that, under the New York stat
ute, when electricity is doing steady
work, the parties to be operated on may
not have notice of the day until shortly
before the final event. If the comfort
and pleasure of the criminal are the OBJ
jects to be regarded specially, the party
should be killed by surprise, as it were.
Just as when lightning knocks him out
of time in flash. Most good people,
even, die before the dates they would fix
themselves, and often withot notice.

1T Is THE ISSUE.

A prominent Indiana tRepublican and
former chairman of the state committee
asserts that he will leave the Repub-
licans if the MCKINLEY bill is made
a party issue. Some Of the leading
journals of the party in the West insist
that it will not be party matter. One
of them that tavors reduction says
you couldn't drag the party into such
snap as that with all the locomotives
IN the country" If that bill does not
embody the Republican idea in tariff
matters, it is impossible to find any
other embodiment. The party platform
and the bill are the work of the same
hand. There can be no more authentic
Interpretation of the Republican creed
than the bill affords. 1t has received
the virtually unanimous vote Of the
party in the popular branch. There
can be no unfairness in holding it up as
the ideal of Republicanism. 1t will be-
come the law if the party leaders have
the nerve to carry out the party aims.

THE GOULDS BEATEN.
Brice and Huntington Control the
Pacific Mail.

NEW YORK, May 27.-At the annual
meeting of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company tomorrow the control will
pass into new hands. The Gould party,
consisting of Jay Gould, George j.
Gould, Russell Sage. Sidney Dillon and
William Remsen. will retire. and new
board, consisting of G. P. Huntington,
I. E. Gates, Henry Hart. Edward Lau-
terbach, Calvin S. Brice, Samuel
Thomas, Oliver III. Payne, j. B. Hous-
ton and others still to be named, will be
elected, and j. B. Houston will be
elected president in place of George j.
Gould. This outcome is complete de-
feat for the Gould interests. The new
party in control began accommodating
stock several months ago, and now
hold $4,000 shares, or so near majority
that no contest is expected. The Vii
lard interest has no place on the ticket,
and the scheme to have Tacoma made a

GLADSTONE APPLAUDED
During His Speech at Hawarden
Castle,

LONDON, May 27.-An immense gath
ering of people assembled on the
grounds of Hawarden castle to-day to
listen to an address by Mr.. Gladstone.
Throughout the morning special trains
packed with people from English and
Welsh towns and villages, far and near,
were constantly arriving, while hun
dredS OF persons living within few
miles of the eX-premier'S seat joined in
procession and marched to the castle.
Mr.. Gladstone was in excellent form
and voice and addressed the vast crowd
from an elevated position in corner of
the castle yard, while Mrs. Gladstone
held an umbrella over his head to shield
him from the rays of the sun. He was
frequently interrupted by applause, and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the day. Among the gather
ing were mary recognized conservatives,
but the speakers remarks elected from
them no sign of disapproval.
Mr.. Gladstone predicted that a gen
eral parliamentary election would take
place at an early date, and appealed to
his hearers and the electors of the coun
try generally to give final utterance Oh
that occasion to their condemnation of
further parleying with the Irish ques-
ton. He denounced the government
bill to compensate publicanS. The con-
troll of licensing should be invested III
local election bodies. 1t would add
e300, 5000 to the national debt, he de-
clared, to purchase the licenses OF the
publicans. The Workingmen, knowing
the horrors of drink. ought to protest
against the governments immoral
plans.

NOT FOR HARRISON.

The impression that HARRISON is so
stirred up that he means to unload
QUAY and have him sent into political
seclusion no doubt has the dream fabric.
There is probably no significance in
the fact that MI. QUAY'S committee
convenes while HARRISON is away at
Cleveland dedicating the GARFIELD
statue. If the president had the dis
position to attempt the feat, he has not
the ability. Mr.. QUAY is not under his
control. Still, the attempt to ignore the
charges against him is not proving
quite a success with the committee
chairman. Even prominent Republican
papers refuse to be made quiet by his
example. One of the most Influential
of these in the East says that 1t is get
ting very tired waiting for the only eff
fective answer that can be made
suit for criminal libel against
the utterers of the charges. He must
vindicate himself in this way or step
out of the senate and out of politics.
Mr.. QUAY will surprise the public and
spoil host of predictions if he should
bring snit and press it to early trial.
1t is charged that QUAY took few hun
dred thousand dollars out of the state
treasury to gamble with, and he was
unfortunate enough to lose. To save
the party, and out of regard for QUAY'S
family, Don CAMERON threw in $780,
600 and saved the matter from exposure.
The state escaped loss, but it was re-
garded even by the men who operate
the party for what they can make out
of politics as quite injudicious, in view
of the bad luck. 1t is understood
that the president had intimations
of the facts before he turned
over the patronage of PennsyI-
vania to QUAY. He unQuestionably
was familiar with the Quay and DUD-
LEY methods in the campaign. These
were as crooked morally as the record
upon which the charges rest. He knew
that vast sums of money were gathered
from parties and interests all over the
country to be used in corrupting the bal
lot and defeating the honest verdict of
the people. He could not doubt that his
election was the result of these vicious
methods. The parties who furnished
the money were to have their recon-
pense through his agency. He at once
made the largest contributor member
of his cabinet because of his contribu-
ton. HARRISON was the beneficiary OF
political methods that debauched the
ballot-boX. He was accessory to the
corrupt subversion of the rights Of the
people, and is not in position to sit in
judgment upon the chief worker of the
iniquity.

MISS STORRs' DILEMMA.
A Scandal Follows Maj. Magrue's
Death.

New YORK, May ga special cable
to the World from Margate says: There
was a commotion at the ClittonviIle
hotel on Sunday, caused by the sudden
death of Maj. Megrue, formerly of Phil
adelphia, and of late years a company
promoter in London. He occupied offices
with Judge II. H. Davis. of Chi
cago, and was interested in
floating Chicago breweries in Eng
land. On Saturday Maj. Megrue
came here with young woman, whom
he registered at the Cliftonville hotel
as his wife. When he died suddenly,
the medical attendant whom the young
woman called in attributed his death
to heart disease, but refused to grant
certificate to that effect till after the in
quest. This complicated matters, but
the physician refused to be per-
suaded. The body was taken in
charge by the coroner. Then the woman
became scared, said she was not his wife,
but his ward. Her name is Miss Storr.
She was very anxious to get away, but
the manager Of the hotel refused to let
her go until after the inquest on
Wednesday. The coroner has taken
possession of the effects of the dead
man, which comprise many valuable Sc
curities, though whether he brought
them here with him is not apparent.
Maj. Megrue has relatives in Philadel-
phia, who have been cabled to for in

PARIS. May 27.-The Figaro, in an
article analyzing the relations between
France and England, advances the sug-
gestion that Lord Salisbury fix date
when England will evacuate Egypt.
Such action on the part of Great Brit
ain, the paper assures its readers, would
be the beginning of a speedy settlement
of the existing differences between the
two powers, over which there has been
so much fruitless controversy. In re-
turn for England'S withdrawal from
Egypt, France would consent to relin-
Quish her rights in Newfoundland, and
thus the only points of contention be-
tween the Paris and London govern
ments would be wholly removed. 1t is
believed that the publication of this
suggestion is made upon official author
ity and put forward as feeler.

fraternal spirit that has been the

very appropriately, and was followed

WITHDREW THE CHARGE.
A Girl Prevents fer Papa From
Killing Her Otto.

COLUMBUS, Ind, May 27.-Hampton
Transon, wealthy livery stable keeper
at Hope, Ind, was dangerously shot
yesterday by Otto Seneff, young man
who was attempting to elope with Tran
sons seyenteen-year-old daughter.
Transon suspected that an elope-
ment was contemplated and had
loaded a gun for use in case Seneff came
to the house. The daughter, in the alb
sence of her father, extracted the load
from the gun, and replaced the weapon
where her father had left it. At s
o'clock yesterday morning SeDeff made
his appearance at the rear door of the
Transon residence. The father APP
peared, gun in hand, and endeavored
to shoot Seneff, but the gun merely
snapped. Seneff then drew revolver
and shot Transon through the right
lung. Seneff then fed and has not yet
been captured.
