Sir James Ferguson States the Coun-
trys Position in the Matter.
LONDON, July 9.-In the House Of Com
mons this evening in the debate on the
foreign Office estimates, Mr. Labouchere
protested against the attitude of Lord Sails
bury toward the dreibund as calculated to
irritate France.
Sir James Ferguson, under foreign secre>
tary, contended that the entente with
Italy to maintain the status quo on the
Mediterranean should not be mixed up with
the question of the dreibund. to which
alliance the government was no party, and
of the terms Of which the governments was
unaware. The entente with Italy, he said i,
was not hostile to any power. The sympathy
and influence of England would be with
the powers keeping the peace and against
those breaking the peace, while English
interests would he chiefly considered in any
concerted action that it might be necessary
to tahe to meet unforeseen events. [Cheersl
Mr. LaDouchere insisted that Lord Sails
bury was doing his best to envenom the re-
lations with France. This policy, he said,
arose from feeling that If the republic in
France succeeded, republicanism would
spread abroad in Europe Hear, hear J.

SEIZURE OF TIE ITATA.
A Scheme to Fay the Fine and Escape
Falls Through.

SAN Diego, CAL, July 9-The penalty
of $500 which the treasury department has
demanded of the steamer Itata for leaving
port without clearance papers has not been
paid yet, but will probably be paid soon.
Marshal Gard reseized the Ita'a Yesterday
and placed an officer in charge This act
was necessary in connection with the libel
proceedings commenced by the United
States district attorney. It is now under
stood here that their attorney ad vised Capts.
Manzen and Tejeda to pay the fine at once,
get the vessel released from custody of the
customs officers, and before Marshal Gard
could reseize the Itata TO get out Of San
Diego harbor as quick as steam would carry
her.
INTENDED TO ACT ON IT.
Upon receiving this advice IL is reportad
that Capt. Nauzen returned from Los An
geles and eyraphed to Capt. Teieda, who
returned a. noon yesterday In the mean
time, Capt Manzen and other officers of
the Itata had returned to the vessel. None
of the crew had been allowed ashore. At
1890 o'clock yesterday morning Marshal
Gard and a deputy stepped aboard the Itata
and seized the vessel for violation of the
neutrality laws and carrying Off United
States officers. Capt. Manzsn is said TO

who FASTENED to the ship Immediately upon
the arrival of the train and held consulta-
ton with Capt. ManEen. No further steps
were taken in regard to leaving the harbor.
Had the Itata got away before the reseizure
much delay would probably have resulted
before the Charleston could get under way
to chase her again, and by that time the
Itata possibly could have escaped.
MUST GIVE BONDS.
Assistant United States District Attorney
Campbell arrived last night to confer with
Marshal Gard and the officers Of the Charles
ton. He states that the papers in the libel
suit against the Itata were filed yesterday
but trial could not be held until September
The court had adjourned for the term. The
owners of the Itata will be permitted to
give bonds for the return Of the vessel and
she will be allowed to depart, but as the
bonds will necessarily be mych greater than
the value Of the vessel, District Attorney
Campbell hardly thought she would leave.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 9.-It is semi

operating with the public authorities, will

thing like a general famine. Large
government stores of grain maintained for
military purposes can be distributed in the

and has sent officers to make tour of the
threatened districts. Inquiry is also
proceeding In the grain centers to ascertain
how far it may be necessary to
restrict the expectation of corn. The latest
reports from the grain districts are reassur-
ing. Reports made to the government rep
resent the initiation Of prices as largely due
to speculation. IL is probable thai the gov

ALL KILLED IN A JIFFY.
NO DOUBT THAT DEATH AT SING
SING WAS INSTANT ANEOUS.

The End Also Absolutely Painless.
The Second Shock Given to Prevent
the Muscular Exhibition Noticed in
Kemnler's Case-A Syllable Cut in
Two by the Shock.
BUFFALO, n. V, July 9.-Dr. South
wick and DR.. Daniels, both of whom wit
messed the Kemmler execution, returned to-
day from Sing Sing, where they witnessed
the electrocution of the four murderers.
"The executions were q success in every
way said DR.. Southwick, land there was
not the slightest hitch. Electric execution
has come to stay. These executions have
demonstrated that the method is humane
ALL DIED INSTANTLY.
"Do you say that all four died instantly?H
''Yes, sir; they died the instant the cur
rent reached them. II was an absolutely
painless DEATH
"Why was the second shock given?"
ITO prevent the muscular exhibition that
was noticed ct the Kemmler execution
WAS there any burning of the heshln
"There was not. There WAS a slight
scald, raising a white blister, and that Is
all" He denounced the EUenind Worlds
statement that Smiler's body, when it
reached New York, showed burns as
downrightlie.
HOW HE KNEW.
How can you be sure, doctor, that the
men died instantlyW
I'm tell you one very satisfactory test.
Slocum was praying when he died. So was
Wood. The others said nothing. But
particularly observed Slocum. He was
saying Lord have mercy on my soul' when
he received the shock. He had Just said the
word my and started to say soul The
sibilant sound Of the s. was made, but the
word soul was never uttered. The syllable
was cut in two"
ANOTHER INDICATION.
Another indication continued DR..
Southwick, twas the appearance Of the
mems features at death. They were undis-
turbed. | suggested that they should close
their eyes SO that salt water from the cleo
trode on their foreheads should not un into
their eyes and give them needless pain
They did close their eyes. That action
made certain contraction of the features
That contraction was there after the men
were taken from the chair. There was not
a single person who saw the executions but
said they were instantaneous and painless,
and humane method OF producing death.
Sixteen hundred volts were given"
NO sENSIBILITY OF PAIN.
"The executions were an unqualified sue
cess in every way" said DR.. Daniels. 1.-THE
men had no sensibility of pain, ard they
died instantly. The executions demon
strated that the electric method Is quick,
painless and humane. There were no
sounds, no burning. no odor of burning
flesh, nothing whatever that would revolt
any spectator" DR.. Daniels also spoke of
one of the men praying and reaching the

NICOLAY WERS MCLUHE.

He Again Denies That Preside Lin
coin Opposed Hamlin.
WASHINGTON. July 9.-John G. Nicolay
has come out in a card in reply to Col. A.
K. McClure's editorial of yesterday. Mr..
Nicolay says: "You asserted that President
Lincoln opposed the denomination of Hanni-
bal Hamlin for the vice presidency. l res
futed lat assertion by calling attention
to the written record wherein President
Lincoln in his own handwriting explicitly
states the contrary. You now re-assert
your statement, or to put it in other words,
you accuse President Lincoln OF acting low
political deceit, and with his own hand
writing deliberate lie. The country will
not believe the monstrous imputation.n
THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
he then gives some historical facts about
the Baltimore convention, and quotes from
a letter from Col. Mcclure TO President
Lincoln month before the convention ex-
pressing amazement that several papers
had intimated that Col. Mcclure did not
cordially favor the Presidents renomina-
tion. Mr.. Nicolay comments on Col.
Mcclure feeling called on to
protest against the accusations of party
disloyalty. The fact that the Illinois and
Pennsylvania delegations voted solidly for
MIR. Hamliu, Mr.. Nicolay asserts, disproves
Col McClure's statement that Lincoln OPP
posed Mr.. Hamlin's denomination. The
card concludes: "Dare you venture
the assertion that President Lincoln
was deceivlng Mr.. Cameron, de-
ceiving Mr.. Cook, carrying on
secret intrigue against Mr.. Holt, and that
on top of the whole he was writing delib-
crate lie to usl That may be your concep-
ton of Abraham Lincoln, but it is not
mine; that may be your system of politics,
but it was not his."

Merriam, ornithologist Of the department
of agriculture, as agents Of the United
States. Prof Mendenhall has accepted,
but Prof. Merriam is now out in the field

ment. As the sealing season is already so
far advanced the utmost expedition will be
required on the part of the agents to serve
the purpose of their appointment.

DUBLIN, July 9.-The Parnellite press is
exceedingly downcast over the result of the
Carlow election. The FreeDldn'S Journal
says that there is now no more chance Of
getting home rule for Ireland than
there is Of getting the moon.
The electors, the Journal adds,
have abandoned their Independence for
the British party yoke. The conservative
Dublin Express says that the English will
learn from Carlow that "the Irish tenant
farmer, when not actuated by insane land
hunger, is a puppet in the hands of the
Roman Catholic priests, aud as unfit to be
an electcr as if he were an infant or q

A Suspicious Expedition Fitting Out at
Norfolk.

"A suspicious expedition Fitting Out at
Norfolk.
WASHINGTON, July "a letter has been
received by a government official here
which appears to give color to the report
that a revolutionary movement is being
fomented in one of our neighboring
republics. The writer says that q
man calling himself Capt. Annett
has been engaged at Norfolk, Va, in
shipping men for treasure hunt in Mexi-
can waters. The captain said he wanted
only seventy-five men but the writer is in
formed that be has shipped over 200. More
over he has learned that the vessel which is
to carry the party is now secretly engaged
in taking aboard large quantity of arms
and ammunition at port on Long Island
sound.
DON'T WANT TO FIGHT.
The writer says he does not want 20 get
himself in trouble, and above all does not
want to fight, and although he has signed
to go on the expedition he will withdraw if
there is any illegal act in contemplation.
The officials here are not disposed
to attach much Importance to the
communication, as they believe that
tilibustering expedition would be conducted
with more caution than appears to be
shown in this case. They are also puzzled
to guess the destination of the party if it
should be of warlike intent, but the chances
are even that it is meant to aid revolution
in either Hayti or Mexico
