Some OhionIix Protest,

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Representa-
tive McComas has completed his report,
which is to accompany his Anti-Gerry-
Wandering Bill, and will present it to
the House in day or two. (
The opponents OF the measure have
completed their minority report, which
will be submitted at the same time.
Considerable opposition has developed
among Republicans against the Nc.
Comas bill, and the indications are that
the measure will be allowed to sleep for
some time. Senator Sherman and n
number Of Republican Representatives
from Ohio are opposed to the proposed
legislation. The Senator does not believe
that it is good policy or politics for Goa
gress to pass legislation interfering with
State affairs, as all such attempts, as Il
rule, result disastrously.

Mr.. Frank, Of Missouri, opposed the bill
becarse, in his opinion, it was the cxer.

and might cut as heavily into the Re-

KBMMLBR'S EXECUTION.
The Unitcd States Court Grants
"a Writ Of Habeas Corpus,
RETURNABLE ON JUNE II,
On tho Ground that THO Execution
that was to Take Place Is in vio.
iation of the Constitution OF
tho State Of New. York. y

AunuRS, N. y, April 20.--Judge Wal
lace, OF the United States Court, la
granted writ OF habeas corpus return
able June II, In The case Of kemmler
The ground for the writ is, that the ac
under which the execution was to take
place is in violence OF the State consti
tuition. 49,,
The Warden Tor some reason best
known to himself, kept putting oil an.
nouncing to Kcmmler the change In bis
fortunes. When the Warden finally
told the prisoner, he looked up with a
leoS TINT showed he did not fully un.
derstand the Warden's language. Then
Mr.. Durston said: "It means that
your execution is not coming off now,
and that you will have two montha and
perhaps longer 10 live"
"Oh, said kemmler, just asif the real
facts were beginning to dawn upon him,
that makes me feel much easier."' Il
Tho Warden stood there for a mo.
mcnt; kemmler walked to his chair and
sat down. Ills face was expressionless,
and ho said nothing to indicate great as.
tonishment or delight. - 10 Pc.
The future Of the case will DO one OF
long and protracted litigation. II tho
Gerry law he declared Unconstitutional
the State will have no law, and shrewd
lawyer could say that a new law pro-
viding for hanging or some other method
than electricity could not effect those
who had been sentenced prior to its
passage. '''' lA' -.I!i li.' -
The physicians and others who came
TO Auburn in an official capacity were
immensely disappointed at the rescue OF
kemmler. r5fttT
The writ OF habeas corpus in the
kemmler case was granted on the appli.
cation Of ex. District Attorney Roger NJ.
Sherman, and was issued by Judge Wal.
lace. Judge Wallace has Jurisdiction
over tho circuit comprising tho States OF
New York, Vermont aud Connecticut.
and the writ was sent to Clerk Doolittle,
OF Utica, whose signature was necessary
to make it operative. Judge Wallace
declined to give any Information as to
the reason set forth in the petition,
which he said must be extracted from
Clerk Doolittle. Several lawyers inter.
ested themselves. to secure the writ,
among them being Bourke Cockrane.
