THO Execution Dignitied, but n Dead Fall
ure as TO tho Method.
Immediately after thu execution Dr.
Sprader, the eminent physician. aaid t,
a reporter: "As far as kemmler wa
concerned the gcenc was most harrow
ing. | meau by that his conduct was 81
admirable. He displayed such gentl,
dignity through 1t all that 1t wen,

When the electric current was applied

think that. consciousness at once lei,
him, but that life was not extinct, The
current had been applied number ol
seconds. when l think l myself said
dead" DR.. Fell rushed in and began to
loosen the head piece. There were three
convulsive movements Of the chest, and
there was a demand that the current be
applied aglin. This was done. The in.
stant the contact was made there was a
capillary congestion OF the face and
hands, which is regarded as post NOR
tenn appearance as though you applied
the current to dead body. The longer
the current was kept on after the period
which We call the death, this line OF con-
gestion gradually sank, showing that the
blood was no longer propelled to the
vessels, but had settled down to the
dependent parts Of the body as in dead
subjects"
AS to the result so far as it touches
upon the question Of the practicability
aud advisability Of indicting the death
penalty, Dr.. Spitzka gave reporter per.
mission to cay this as coming from him !.
II regard this as by far more dignified
execution by law than any hanging l
have ever witnessed, but its scientific
uncertainty, after 30 much expense and
time, leads me 10 believe that this
method will not be adoped in any other
State, and that this will bs the first and
last electrical experiment"

BLAlNE'S VICTORY.
The President Preparing n Reciprocity
Message.

| "eksages
New YonK, August CA dispatch |,
the World from Capo May says: "Blain,
has won. President Harrison has beer
generally convinced OF the practical wis
dom OF his Chief secrctary's reciprocit,
programme and is preparing q message
on the subject"
1t was not an easy task, for MI. Blaine
found that the opponents OF his views
had literally saturated the President
with their arguments, both political and
commercial. Mr.. Blaine was fully pre,
pared to answer the political objections
lie showed the President how tite cnti,c
Democratic press OF the country, by its
haste In indorBipg him, bad placed Itself
In a position which stopped II from dc.
noancing reciprocity with Latin Amer.
lea, even though 1t became leading
factor In the Republican policy.
Mr.. Blaine then dwelt upon the siynif.
fcance Of the iudorsement which the
new policy was receiving throughout the
South, and to cap this phase OF the urru.
ment, he pointed to the prompt approval
OF the San Francisco Chamber OF Com.
merce. When the opposition likely 10
develop in the House was referred to,
Mr.. Blaine's eyes snapped, and he de.
clared almost petulantly that he would |
attend to that, or words to that effect
that he regarded the opposition as unim.
portant. ~. -
Mr.. Harrison then sprung the com. |
mercial objections. which had been tab.
ulated and carefully prepared for him
He thought he had Mr.. Blaine in tight
box, but the astute secretary then paved
his great card, namely John Wannama
ker, whom he called into the conference,
and when Mr.. Harrison, with all bis Ia,
bles and figures. grappled with the burly
Postmaster General on tho commercial
phases OF the reciprocity question, he
was thrown time after time.
1t must be remembered that Mr.,
Blaine had not consulted the President
before his first declaration OF this new
and radical policy. Mr.. Harrison re.
membered this fact, and several times
to it. The result OF the confer.
snce was that President Harrison be.
came proselyte. He affected no
urther resistance. He promised to give
reciprocity, with some slight modifica.
ions, which are not yet formulated, bis
'upport, and to address a special mes.
'age to Congress on the subjsct at an
'arly date. Mr.. Blaine received this in.
diligence without a shade Of surprise.
