AUBURN IN. Y.,) Aug. 5.-[By the
Associated Press. 1t Is now believed
that Kemmler will be executed
tomorrow morning.
1t is now thought likely that Andrew
Crooks, convict, will be the man who
will pull the deadly lever. The an
nouncement has not yet been made
positively, but circumstances all point
to it. Warden Durston has finally
decided to changethe execution room,
and, under direction of Electrician
Davis, who arrived this morning, the
wires and switch board were moved.
The keepers mess room will be the
new execution room.
The condemned man has kept up
his pluck in wonderful way. A
gentleman, who will be present at the
execution visited Kemmler this after
noon. He found him perfectly calm,
but suffering from the heat. Kemm-
ler has made his will again, leaving
his books and other little traps to Mrs.
Durston, and others who have been
kind to him. This afternoon, holy
communion was administered to
Kemmler by Chaplain Yates and Rev.
Mr.. Houghton. The second separate
company of National Guards of New
York, Captain Kirby, has been Or
dered out for this evening, ostensib!y
for parade and street drill. This means
that a Gordon is to be put about the
prison gates. DR.. Southwick of Buff
falo, said, late this afternoon, that
it was not at all likely that the au-
topsy would take place before daylight
no matter what time the execution
occurred.

Tracing SmugRled Opium,

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 5.-Revenue
officers and United States detectives
arrived here yesterday looking for
1000 pounds of smoking opium which
was smug2led into the United States
some time ago. The opium came
through California and the smugglers
got as far as Phoenix, Ariz., with it,
when detectives got on their trail and
scared them into Canada. A few days
ago it was learned nat the contrab2nd
goods had been shipped here. So far
no trace of the opium has been discov-
cred. The duty on this opium amounts
to 800. 900,

House..

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Mr. Bing-
ham of Pennsylvania moved to lay on
the table the motion (Which hes been
pending some time) to reconsider the
vote by which the house passed the
bill 10 grant leave of absence to clerks
in the first and second Class post
offices. The motion to reconsider was
tabled.
Mr.. Snyder of Minnesota, rising to
question of privilege, denounced as
q falsehood an article in a Detroit
paper stating that at conference be-
tween the Minnesota delegates and
Speaker Reed relative to certain i'm
provements OF the Sault Ste. Marie
canal, the Speaker declared "to hell
with your inland seas!"
Mr.. Mckinley (Ohio) from the COM
mittee On rules, reported as a substl-
tu,e for the Cummings resolution
asking the Secretary of the Navy for
reasons for increase of force at Kit
terry navy yard. In speaking to the
resolution Cummings of New York
eaid he rose in defense of public mo-
rality and public law which
had been menaced by a
high official. The order increasing
the force of Kittery navy yard looked
as though the design was to use the
executive power for partisan pur-
poses. He referred to the great evil
which would result from the intro
duction of politics into the navy yards,
and going back to the administration
of the Navy Department by S cretary
RobesoD commented severely upon
the action of that Official in filing
the navy yards with partisan
friends previous to congressional
elections. He charged that the Kit
tory yard is used for political purposes
and quoted figures to show that
previous TO elections the list OF
employees was much larger than it was
a month or two afterwards. A ma

THE FINAL PREPARATIONS

Everything Ready for Touching the
Murderer off.
AUBURN, Aug. 5.-[By the Associat-
ed Press.l BY the exercise OF absolute
discretion as the law permits, the pris-
On warden added two days to the life
of the condemned Kemmler. The
second day closed with clouds and
rain. When the sun rose in the morn
ing above the prison wall, its light
streamed through the iron bars of the
basement cell and touched the stone
floor in yellow blocks. Whether the
murderer was aware he would never
again see the yellow morning sun light
is not known. Indeed no one besides
the warden and his guests and not
all OF them at twilight could tell when
Kemmler's death would come. The
invited guests had been arriving by
train at intervals during the day.
Among the afternoon arrivals were
DR.. George F. Shrady, of New York,
manager Oi the Poughkeepsie Insane
Asylum and editor of the Medical
Record, and DR.. Spitzka and Deputy
Jenkins of New York.
After supper at the hotel all the
proposed witnesses to the execution of
the wretched murderer accompanied
by Warden DurstOn, proceeded to the
prison where the medical men joined
in conference as to the time and
method of conducting the autopsy. 1t
was Desired that no question should
arise as to whether electricity or the
scalpel killed Kemmler. There could
be no doubt after the death rigor set
in. Again more satisfactory autopsy
may be made upon body which has
been some time dead than upon one yet
warm. This point was discussed, as
also was the programme as to what
each medical mans part shall be at
the killing and during the autopsy.
The conference lasted an hour or
more. After the conference the wit
nesses, together with the warden,
repaired to the hotel. DR.. Southwick
was among the first to return to the
hottl.
"I4re you going to bed, doctor ?" was
asked by aby-stander. II am indeed, :"
he replied, and did. The others were
disposed about the crowded hotel, and
at eleven o'clock most all had retired
save few stragglers and newspaper
correspondents. The plain inference
is that the execution will either take
place late enough in the morning to
make retirement an object, or that it
will be postponed another day. There
was not man in the house probably
who believed it would be later. Ali
those invited from out of town must
have arrived if they would witness the
killing in case it occurs in the morning
hours, for no train would arrive in any
direction until seven o'clock.
The list Of those to witness the exc
cution is as follows: DIR. Carlos F..
Macdonald, of New York, Chairman
of State Lunacy Commission; DIR. Geo.
F. Shrady of New York, DR.. A. P.
Southwick, father of the Electrical Ex-
ecution Bill; DIR. George E. Fell, DR.. G.

Who's the Preyaricator.

Senator Stewart said at Reno that
"the President was opposed to free
coinage and he knew he would not
have signed such a bill" It would
be interesting to those who heard the
Senator two years ago pledge his
word and honor that he had tho as
aurance OF Mr. Harrison that "he
would sign any silver bill that might
be passed by Congress-" and that no
knew personally that the Republican
Presidential nominee twas favorable
to free coinage" to be informed
whether Mr.. Harrison lied to him in
the matter, OF whether he, the Sen.
ator, was making statements at that
time which he knew to DO untrue. So
far as the Chronicle is concerned it
does not believe that the President
Of the United States is a bare faced
liar, or that he ever professed to Sen
ator Stewart or anybody else to be
friendly to silver coinage.-[Virginia

THE COMBINATION BuRsTED
Hon. Francis @. NewlandS Como
Homo Disguised.

The combination, OF which Hon.
Francis G.. Newlands was the star,
Hon. r. K. Colcord, the curiosity, Hon.
]. F. Egan, the man with grievance,
and Hon. r. L. Fulton, tho funny
man, which was to electrify the State,
bursted up at Eureka. The cause of
the rupture was the refusal of Mr..
Newlands to make any more speeches
in support OF principles in which he
did not believe and which the decline
in silver proved fallacious, and the
election Of men who ought to be de-
feated. Mr.. Newlands, who was the
only speaker in the combination, de-
livered lecture on irrigation at Elko
Saturday night in which he did not
allude to politics aud went home to
Reno yesterday morning. Mr.. Colcord
came here yesterday and met MIR.
Bowler, OF Esmeralda, who accompa-
MED him to Paradise to-day. What
effect tho withdrawal Of Mr.. Newlands
and the reasons wh:cn he gave for
doing 30 at Eureka will have on the
campaign remains to be seen. He is q
bright, brainy man, a logical and
foroible speaker, and in fact the only
one in the combination that could
hold an audience five minutes. He
admitted that he left the Democratic
party because o; Cleve!and's hostility
to silver and to be consistent he could
not advocate the election of Mr.. Bar
tine, who while pretending to tie a
friend Of silver, is trying to make the
people believe that the Sherman
abortion act is as good as free coin

If you really believe that the pres.
ont commodity silver law, enacted at
the instance Of John Sherman, the
arch enemy of the white metal, ia
better than free coinage, by all means
vote for H. F. Bartine for Congress.
Stewart says the present law is better
than free coinage, and we are assured
by the Republican press that Bartine
is in perfect accord with Senator
Stewart on the silver question.
