Dalzel Of Pennsylvania came to the de-
tense OF Commander Reiter. In due time
he proposed to submit some remarks in sup
port of these propositions:
That the Secretary of the Navy had no
right under the law to administer public
reprimand to Commander Reiter as he had
done by an insulting letter published in ths

lowed International law as practiced in the
last fifty years in the country'S history.

fense of the State Department. He re-
viewed the case at length, and said in clos
ing: GOD grant no man of any party shall
ever be Secretary of State who will not dis

disgrace to our national name" Applause

Lowther gave notice of motion requesting
the Government to take immediate action
to promote The formation of preferential fis-
cal relations between Great Britain and her
colonies.
Mr.. Majoribanks moved the appointment
of commission to examine the new mag
aZine rife and the reasons for its adoption.
Ii anbury condemned the system by whicn
the new rifle system was introduced he
said that ont of thirteen patents connected
with the rife, one official held ten In his
own name. He therefore moved an amend
ment that a commission to inquire into the
Irrere details of the military administration
was undesirable as weakening the full re-
sponsibility of the officials who recommended
the rifle.
After a sharp debate in which the War
Office was severely criticized, the amendment
was carried by 108 to "a
motion by Hicks-Beach to appoint a
select committee to inquire into the question
of the legislative restriction of the working
hours OF railway servants was agreed to.

= Eyraud's iron will was not shaken even in
- the presence of death, and he continued to
impatiently refuse religious consolation
while on the death march to the guillotine
which had been erected during the night on
the Place de la R0quette.
THE PRELnfINARIEs.
As early as o'clock this morning the Gus
= tomary barriers were erected upon the
. Place de Ia. Roquette. Shortly afterward
two divisions of police and a detachment of
the Garde Republicaine took possession of
the place. The night was most bitter cold
and to make the scene more gloomy than
usual a heavy, damp cold fog hung over
the city.
The cafes near the Place de la Roquette
were full of carousers, male and female,
singing in maudlin tones a disgusting song
having for its refrain, at is Eyraud whom
we must have; it is his head which we must
have" The scenes in some of the cafes
: can be better imagined than described but
they gave the stranger 4 good idea of the
nature Of Paris mob when blood is in the
air."
By 5:45 o'clock all was ready. Deibler,
the executor, tested the knife and found it
was moving easily in its grooves. Outside
the place, in the direction of the Boulevard
Voltaire, there were about 500 spectators
who could hardly see anything of the pro-
ceedings, but who were attracted TO the
spot and remained there out Of sheer NOR
bid curiosity. In the main the crowd par
ticularly referred to was composed of those
seoundrels who prey upon fallen women,
convicts, gambling club croupiers of the
: lowest class and girls who form the dregs
of society.
EYRAUD's GOODNESS.
At 6:45 o'clock party Of officials, in COM
pany with the Governor Of La Roquette,
entered the cell occupied by Eyraud They
found Eyraud sitting crouching on his bed,
and, when informed that his petition for a
pardon had been rejected, Eyraud replied
VERY we'll" The condemned man a few
minutes afterward removed the prison uni
form which he had been wearing and changed
his trousers and socks, refusing all assist
ance while preparing for death. Being
j.. asked If he had any statement to make the
murderer replied in the negative.
Able Faure then approached the guilty
man and offered to receive and convey &c
Eyraud's wife and daughter any message
which he might wish taken to them. To this
kind offer Eyraud replied: Tell them that
/ bid them adieu and hope they may be
happy"
