HE'S ALL RIGHT.
Blaine Gets His Dander Up Over
the Recent Reports
Circulated Regarding His Phys
ical Condition.

With the Exception of IA Severe Attack of
Acute Dyspepsia and Gout the PIumcd
Knights Health is as Good as Usual.
Mr.. Blaine's Physician, Mr.. Taylor,
Makes Public Statement.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 0.-Mr.
Blaine has got his dander up.
Usually he is most Indifferent to the
manner the press or the public comment
upon his condition of health, but this
last concerted attack by the press of the
country upon his physical condition,
charging him with everything from
paresis to Bright's disease, has brought
out his Indignation, and for the first
time he has authorized his physician.
DR. Taylor, to make public statement
of his case, which the doctor has done.
DR.. Taylor states most emphatically
that Mr.. Blaine has no kidney trouble,
and neither his mind, hearing nor seeing
is affected in the least The main
trouble is with his stomach, which is
affected with severe attack of acute
dyspepsia that is both painful and debil-
itating, and this and gout are the sole
ailments Of the piafied Knight. He He
has, since his arrival OH the island, been
devoted to diet of baked apples and
cream, which greatly agree with him.
He has been out driving daily with Mrs
Blaine, and in the afternoon he takes
short walks.
The yarn about his being propped up
with pillows in bed is false. He never
retires except at his usual hour of
nights. DR. Taylor says MIR. Blaine
will be in his usual health again inside
of month. The death of Mr.. Hamlin
was great shock to him, but he bore
up against it heroically.
No Intention of Reslgning.
Mr.. Blaine himself authorized the
statement that he has not had, nor has
he any intention of resigning his cabinet
position.

FACTS AND OPINIONS.

Witnesses Make Known Their Views.
One Doctor Disagrees.
Many of the witnesses of the execu-
tions were in this city Tuesday night.
The United Press representative called
on them for information regarding the
executions, but Us they are bound to Sc
crecy they are very reticent. Some in
teresting facts and opinions were elicit
ed, however.
More Humane Than Hanging.
DR.. A. d. Rockwell characterized
electric death as being far more humane
than hanging, and said that in none Of
the hangings he had witnessed did the
men suffer as little as the murderers
who sat in the death chair at Sing Sing.
All four died instantly and painlessly,
only exhibiting the gathering rigidity
which marked the work of the current.
DR.. Rockwell denies that any burning
was apparent. He said all the con-
demned men were docile, submitting
without demonstration to their death.
Has No Complaint to Make.
DR.. L. P. Cortelyou said he attended
the test in the interest of science, and
his mind was made up that if he found
any cruelty in the infection of the death
penalty by electricity to lay complaint
before the proper state authorities and
seek to have the law repealed. Death
in every instance was absolutely pain
less and instantaneous, he believed.
Two shocks were administered simply
as a matter of precaution.
Very Neatly Done.
One physician, whose name may not
be mentioned, said he never saw any
thing so neatly done. 1t reminded him
of little family party as they sat in the
room together.
Highly Successful.
DR.. B. H. Southwick said that the ex-
periments were highly successful. and
he feels satisfied now that electrical ex-
ecutions have come to stay.
DIR. Frank Townsend said that the ex-
ecutions were successful.
If He Could Only Talk.
DR.. Daniels said that, but for his
promise not to talk, he could tell a
startling tale. He admitted that, as in
Kemmler's case, it was necessary to
shock the victim twice. He and the
doctors carried away portions of the
victims bodies for examination.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Everybody ex-
pected that DR.. Carlos F. Macdonald
would WELD the lancet during the au-
topsy on the Sing Sing murderers, but
when the medical men assembled in the
little room adjoining the death chamber,
where the bodies of the four mnrderers
lay on slate slabs, it was found that DR..
Van Giesen. of Greenpoint, had been
deputed to perform that function, assiat-
ed by DR.. franklin Thompson, jr. 9th
er physicians present were DR.. Samuel
B. Ward, of Albany; DIR. L. v. Cortelyu,
of Brooklyn; Professor. Landy, DR..
Daniels and DR.. Allison, of Auburn.
After a brief discussion it was decided
to operate on the Japanese, Jugiro, first.
In accordance with this plan the oper-
ating table such as is used in dissecting
rooms, was wheeled on its rubber castors

topsy then proceeded as follows, the
words of the narration of which are
given exactly as they fell from the lips
of one of the physicians in attendance.

Vesuvius, which stands ten miles
from Naples on the east shore of the
Bay of Naples, is a solitary mountain
nearly mile high. 1t has been an
active volcano since 70, A. d., when it
buried Pompeii in ashes and Hercula-
neum in mud.
Since that time it has had sixty great
eruptions and many smaller ones. In
472 the eruption was so great that the
ashes fell in Constantinople 700 miles
away. At least so says history; but in
this skeptical and scientific age we may
take the liberty to doubt it. We must
believe, however, the report that, in the
great eruption in 1779, accurately studied
and described by Sir William Hamilton,
then British minister to Naples, We
snvius threw out from her crater one
mass of rock 108 feet in circumference
and seventeen feet high.
Fifteen years later still more terrible
and destructive eruption took place,
which destroyed the town of Tore del
Greco.
Vesuvius' greatest eruptions of this
century are those of 1922, in which the
volcano lost eighty feet of its height,
which since has been built again by lava
deposit-of 1866, of 1872, of 1873 and
of 1880.
A railway to the top of the volcano
was opened in 1880, and Vesuvius, in
eruption, is a great drawing attraction
of Italy and Naples. Vesuvius is worth
many hundreds of thousands of dollars
year to Italy, and when in violent
eruption is worth millions.

THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.
Will the PRESSES Law, Now In Force in
New York, Last LOng2

New YORK, Last LOngr
The Sun Wednesday said:
This morning The Sun and every other
real new spapers in the state openly and
deliberately violate that section of the
electrical execution law which forbids
the publication of the details of an ex-
ecution.
This provision is a disgrace to the
civilization of which we are proud. Il
is against public policy, it is impossible
to enforce, and it is defied and will con-
tinue to be defied by every self-respect-
ing newspaper in New York on every
occasion.
The law defies higher law, namely
the constitution which decreed that mo
law shall be passed to restrain or abridge
the liberty of speech or of the press.
But the press has another duty to per-
form. It must bring about the repeal of
this unconstitutional provision. To that
end 1t should devote its utmost energies
at the next election. Without regard to
personal or partisan considerations, it
should support for the legislature and
for responsible executive posts only such
candidates as are distinctly committed
against this preposterous press-gag law.
The Sun is ready, for one, to engage
itself to support any Republican candi-
date who shall promise to vote or work
next winter for the repeal of the law.
Newspapers VIII Have the News.
The morning papers of this city, in
commenting upon the electrical execu-
ton at Sing Sing, which they generally
regard as successful, take occasion to
vigorously attack Warden Brown for
his extraordinary and wholly unneces-
sary as well as futile pains to prevent
the newspapers from getting news of the
executions. The placing of armed
guards outside the prison walls, referred
to as "dead line, is condemned as au-
thority arbitrarily assumed.

1t is the opinion of Italian scien-

The villagers in the slope of Vesuvius
are abandoning their homes and their
vineyards, fearing that one of the great

Recurrence of Earthquake Shocks.
The earthquake shocks that have al
ways preceded destructive outbursts of
the volcano in the past have been felt in
several parts of Italy, and of late in
close proximity to the mountain.
Very Precautions.
The authorities of Naples are keeping
a close watch for signs of increasing
danger, and visitors are warned not to
approach too near to the crater, and to
avoid the path of the lava.
Travellers Court Death.
Since the death of Brazilian journal
ist a few days ago. by falling into the
crater, several travellers have shown a
morbid desire to gaze into the pit of
molten lava in which the unfortunate
man disappeared. In such cases, should
another fatal accident occur the guide,
the prefect of police has stated, will be
