remain on board landed shortly before 10

had landed last night. The officers of the
company informed the passengers that If they
wished they could remain here or be for

$4,000. Others thought the sum would be

coded to be the most valuable derellct ever
towed TO this port.

Va, who was on the disabled Servia, sailed by
the City of New York to-day.
WARDEN Browns UNDUE PAINS
The morning papers of this city, in CON-
menting to-day upon the electrical executions
at Sing Sing yesterday, which they generally
regard as successful take occasion to vigor-
ously attack Warden Brown for his extraordi-
nary and wholly unnecessary well as futile
pains to prevent the newspapers from getting
the news of the execution. The placing of
armed guards outside the prison walls, re-
ferred to as dead line. MS condemned as
authority arbitrarily assumed
The Sun says; This morning the Sun and
every other real newspaper IN the State openly
aud deliberately violated that section of the
electrical execution law which forbids,, the
publication of the details of an execution.
This provision is a disgrace to civilization,
Of which we are proud. 1t is against public
policy; il is impossible TO enforce it and it is
defed and will continue to be dehed by
every self-respecting newspaper III New York
on every such occasion.
The law defes higher law. namely, the
Constitution, which DEGREES that no law
erty of speech or of the press" But the
press has another duty to perform. 1t must
bring about a repeal of this unconstitutional
provision. To that end il should devote its
utmost energies at the next election.
Without regard TO personal or partisan con-
sideratiOn. it should support for the Legsla-
ture and for responsible executive posts only
such candidates as are distinctly committed
against this preposterous press gag law.
The Sun sready, for one, TO engage itself
to support any Republican candidate who
shall promise to vote or work next winter for
the repeal OF the law.
