en- for Thirty Days.

1y Refused.
Attorneys to Lay Before the
Governor the Evidence
in the Case.
Incidents ofthe Morning jour
ney From New Ulm to Red
wood Falls.

Clifton Holden did not die before sun
rise this morning by the hangman's
rope. At the very foot of the gallows
he has been reprieved, and the man
convicted of the murder of his cousin
on the night of Nov. %, 1883, by the
power vested in the chief executive of
the state, has been granted a further
lease OF his life for the space of thirty
days. Yesterday afternoon, shortly
after 4, three gentlemen visited the ey-
ecutlve rooms at the capitol and stated
TO Private Secretlry BiXby that they
desired to see Gov. Merriam instantly.
Inc visitors were Hon. Albert Scheffer,
Hon. A. L. Stebbins, of Rochester, and
Judge Baldwin, of Redwood Falls.
Ihey were Informed by the governors
secretary that his eXcellency was very
Duslly engaged with the question of the
minneapolis charter bill, but that if they
would wait for a time the governor
would be at liberty. The answer given
by one of the party was that all ques-
tons OF charters and politics must give
way, for their mission was one of life
OF death, and that justice demanded
An Immediate Audience.
In few minutes the three gentlemen
were ushered into the private room of
the governor, and seated at the very
table where the death warrant of Hol-
den had been signed few weeks ago.
Inc governor was implOred in the name
OF justice and mercy to grant stay of
execution to the wretchad man whose
lfe was trembling in the balance, SLOW
~ but swiftly descending, weighted
down by the outraged majesty of the
law, demanding vindication in the name
OF the people. The able advocates of
Holden, III most solemn manner, re-
minded the governor of the figure
which surmounted the dome of the cap
ltol, with eyes blIndfolded and sword
and scales in hand. Justice demanded
that while there was a doubt. that the
dread sentence of tile law should not be
carried out. The whole evidence in the
case was
Purely CircuInstantiaI
and there was doubt in the minds of
many persons as to HOlden's guilt. On
these grounds a commutation of the
sentence was asked for Gov. Merriam
was very firm in his attitude, and inti-
mated that he saw no reason WHY the
law should not take its course: but
while he would held out no hope of
communication of the sentence, he would
SO far grant the prayer of the petitioners
on Holden'S behalf and grant a stay of
proceedings for thirty days, in order to
give the friends and attorneys of Holden
an opportunity to lav before the execu-
tive sufficient evidence to furnish
grounds for commutation of the SEN
tence of death to life Imprisonment.
The pleaders for Holden's life thanked
his eXcellency for the stay granted and
withdrew, while a long telegraphic dis
patch was sent Immediately by order of
the governor to Sheriff Mead at Red
wood Falls, instructing him that the
execution was lot to take place as ar
ranged

GhOaka Massacre.
CALCUTTA, April "A dispatch from
Mr.. Gurden, one of those who escaped
from Manipur, says: "The British
force advanced on March "a in order to
arrest Chief Jubrai, who had deposed
the rajah of Manipur. The Manipuris
resisted. and general engagement en-
sued. We ran short OF ammunition and
retreated to the residency at Manipur.
The Manipuris then attacked and
shelled the residency. Chief Commits
sioner Quinton, Political Agent Grim
wood, and Col. Skene, who was in
command of the detachment of Ghoor
kas, finding that our ammunition
was almost gone, notified the enemy
that we were disposed to arrange terms
for cessation of hOStilitieS. TO this
the enemy seemed to agree, and cOnse
quently the chief commissioner, the po-
litical agent and Col. Skene. accom-
panied by Messrs. Cossens and Simpson,
went out to meet Chief Jubrai, but the
chief commissioner, and those who
were with him were treacnerOuSly
seized and held as prisoners. After the
capture of the British officers men
toned, the Manipurls resumed their at
tack upon the reSidency at o'clock in
the afternoon of March 25. We were all
obliged to retreat, finding it impossible
to defend the treasury and the residency
owing to want of ammunition. After
commencing our retreat, we fought our
way across the hills until we met Cow
ley'S detachment"
1t is reported that the treasury of
Manlpur has been looted. GurdOn says
nothing about how many of the British
force were killed OF how many escaped.
The guard in charge of the residency
at Manipur is generally composed of
100 men. This force, with the escort, it
is surmised, may have numbered 150
men who were within the treasury in
closure at the time of the attack. A
dispatch has been received here saying
Lieut.. Chatterton is safe.
