TO DIE TONIGHT,

The General Impression Mt Auburn
That Kemmler VIII Expfate His
Crime Between Sunset and Sunrise.
AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. 4.-The general
impression here seems to be that Kemmler
will die either to-morrows evening or early
Wednesday morning, the principal reason
for this being that invited witnesses
of the execution have .been asked to be
present in Auburn at p. IN. to-mor-
row. Warden Durston says there is no
truth in the reports that Kemmler is to be
examined as to his sanity. The prisoner is
perfectly well, he says. Warden Durston
stated at 4 o'clock this afternoon that
Kemmler will not be executed within the
next twerrty-four hours.

NEW YORK YACHT CLUB.

No Time Taken On Account OF the
Funeral of George l.. schuyler - A
Fleet Meeting on the Electra.
COTTAGE CITY, Mass, Aug. AT a
fleet meeting off Newport this morning il
was decided that in view of the funeral OF
George L. Schuyler to-day no time would
be taken of the run of the New York
Yacht club fleet to Vineyard as the start
was so late that the race, if one was fin.
ished would be finished very late The
start was signalled from the Electra al
1:27 as the first boats that started after thl
signal, rounded Fort Adams in this order
Moccasin, Quickstep, Choctaw, Volunteer
Medusa, Minerva, Cinderella and Gossoon
The little forties, as they stood out from
the land had all they could crack under
and were carrying whole mainsail, gaff
jib topsails, jib and staysails, while many
of the boats had reefed mains.
Nearly all the captains of the yachts in
Vineyard Haven harbor tonight were
present at feet meeting on the Electra
1t was voted to proceed to New Bedford
tomorrow, wind and weather permitting
start to be made off East Chop light at
a. m. on signal from the flagship. Com
modore Gerry stated that he had received
an invitation from the Oak Bluffs club te
attend a reception given by the club to thu
captains and guest of the New York clut
Immediately after the meeting, which HI
accepted. The fleet will probably lay a
New Bedford Wednesday for the Owl ane
Gamecock colors and naptha launch races
and Commodore Gerry will give recep
ton on board the flagship to the captains
and guests of the New York squadron. Or

of the best thought of the people of the
nation, north and south. The republicans
of the house erected pyramid of legisla-
ton. 1t was contended that they had not
recognized the claims of the committee on
agriculture and labor. These committees
would have ample time granted them by
the house and their measures would be
backed by republican votes and
republican energy. Should he OBJ
serve the personal abuse which had been
spewed upon the speaker by the state of
Arkansass AS the gentleman from Afkan-
sas stretched upward to reach the mighty
man from Maine, the speaker grew grand
er and nobler. The speaker stood to-day
as the towering historical grand figure of
legislative victory and reform If the peo-
pie of this republic did not appreciate
what earnestness, courage and patriotism
has done in this congress then there was
no gratitude in the republic for loyalty to
its best interests. Applause
Pending disposition of the bill, the CON-
mittee rose and the house adjourned.

AN ICEBERG ADVENTURE.
Perilous Position OF the steamer
an Iceberg.
HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 4.-The steamer
Portia arrived this morning from New
foundland en- route to New York. Your
correspondent talked to Captain Ash with
reference to the encounter his steamer had
with an iceberg off Fogo Head. He says it
was the most miraculous escape
for the steamer. A berg $50 feet
high and 600 feet long broke in
three pieces just as the Portia was
passing it. One of the pieces, zoe
feet long, which had sunk, came up under
the steamer, lifting her entirely out of the
water. She remained for some minute:
resting on the huge cake of ice, when the
tremendous sea set her free. The stanchions
in the saloon of the steamer were dis
placed and bent, and the under girders
of the dining table smashed. Captain Ash
declares that he was never in such peril
GUS position before.

AN INTERESTING PENSION CASE

An Opinion by General Benjamin f.
Butler-The Power of a Military
Tribunal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-General B. F.
Butler recently appeared as counsel in a
pension case for dependent mother, whose
son died while serving a sentence in mil
itary prison where he was sentenced by a
military tribunal for theft. General But
Ter contended that the guilt of the soldier
was not established by tribunal having
jurisdiction and that, therefore, the SEN
tence is a nullity. He argued that in
time of war military commission is
a board of officers appointed to inves-
tigate facts of alleged misconduct of
private citizens or belligerents, advise the
commander what ought to be done in re-
gard thereto. The military commission,
he maintains, can make no order In de-
Gliding the case, Secretary Bussey states
that counsel's definition of military COM
mission is applicable rather to a court of
inquiry His view is that a military COM
mission has jurisdiction over a certain
class of offences, and has the power both
to try and sentence offenders to punish
ment. The application for pension is re-
iected by the assistant secretary, who cites
many authorities sustaining his position.

SANTA FE., N. NJ, Aug 4.-The White
Gaps near Las Vegas, N NJ, whose out
RACES recently attracted the attention of
the secretary of the interior, continue
their depredations, and Governor Prince
has been compelled to issue proclamation
calling upon them to disband. He de-
clares that if they do not do so he will or

earnest enOrt TO secure IeglSlatlOn the
house would have done much more than it
had done. But each and every bill of
| importance passed by the house had been
passed in spite of stubborn democratic
opposition. But in spite of this opposi-
! ton this house had made record that
was unparalleled in history. A simple
statement without abuse, without criti-
cism, without falling below the dignity of
a member of the house would answer the
gentleman from Arkansas. When the
gentleman intimated that it was necessary
some member on the republican side to
check the alleged tyranny of the speaker and
that republicans were dumb in the pres
| ence of an abuse of power, replied that the
| speaker was only part of a solid majority
bent on SO amending the rules that the
| business of the country could be executed
| in this chamber. He challenged the gen.
| tleman to name one republican who had
| criticised the course that was involved in
| the adoption of the rules.
Commenting ON the legislation of the
| session Mr.. Henderson touched upon the
tariff bill, saying that although some of the
republicans might have desired to amend
| it by reason of the organized opposition on
| the other side the time had been so con-
sumed that those amendments could not be
made 1t seemed as though the mi
4 was UOhU Oh preventing I'LL
amendments. This house had passed
the general court bill and the bank
ruptcy bill. 1t had passed the
| silver bill whereby silver was already
1 marching forward to take place beside
| gold. This house had been the first one
with the courage and patriotism to pass an
antitrust bill. Ithad passed an election
bill-an election bill and not force bill as
| it's enemies took pleasure in calling it. The
bill was merely an enlargement and i'm
| provement of the law which had been in
force for nineteen years. 1t sought to gag
the right of no citizen or to do no citizen
! nor the south any wrong. 1t simply pro-
,vided that every man, black or white,
| strong or weak, rich or poor, should be
safe under the flag of his country to exer-
cize the fundamental powers of an Ameri-
can citizen. Applause.
Instead of being 'sforce bill' it was in
every sense an antitrust bill. The house
had passed the ''original package bill
