REPUBLICANS SURPRISED.
They Were Not Prepared for the Ac-
ton Taken bY the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Jan Ex-senator Aldrich
and most of the Republican Senators to-
day were completely surprised at the ac-
ton of the Senate in laying aside the
cloture resolution and taking up the ap-
portionment bill. There was no expecta-
ton of any important vote, and one Re-
publican Senator was absent attending to
Department business when the vote was
taken, and it was with difficulty that
pair was arranged for him. Senator Stan
ford was absent and impaired. The future
course of events depends largely upon
him, as Aldrich says if Stanford agrees
to support the rule he will ask the Senate
80 resume its consideration Immediately.
The Postsays that Senators Aldrich and
Stewart, whose statements in reference
to Senator Stanford's position, are radi-
cally different, left this evening for New
York to see Stanford. The Post SAYS
the general belief at the capital is that the
cloture resolution and elections bill have
both received their death blow.

The uncomplimentary terms applied to

recall by contrast the words used by

the King summoned number of editors
to his side. After referring with express
sions of admiration to the important work
done by the press and to to the difficult
and powerful work of the editors, he
added: Gentlemen, / have often said

MURDERER HANGED.
History of the Crime for Which

History of the Crime for Which
He Paid the Death Penalty.
SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 26.-Ramon
Lopez was hanged here this morning for
the murder of Mary Dezirello on October
20, 1890.
The execution took place in the pre-
sence Of about $50 people. The arrange
ments We're all perfect and the execution
was completed successfully.
Lopez slept well last night, and this
morning ate a hearty breakfast. He ex-
hibited no signs of emotion. He had said
farewell to his mother and brother the
night before, and his only attendant to-
day was the parish priest.
At II o'clock the little procession issued
from the Jail door, Lopez and the priest
in the lead. The doomed man walked
firmly and held a crucifix clasped to his
breast. He mounted the gallows' steps
without assistance and never quivered or
changed countenance while the fatal
moose was adjusted.
Father Campiona, who accompanied
him, addressed the crowd briefly, saving
that Lopez had asked him to say that he
acknowledged his crime and that his pnn-
7ishment was just.
AT 11:04 Sheriff Broughton gave the sig
nal and the prisoner was fastened into
eternity. His neck was broken with the
fall and death was instantaneous. He
never moved muscle nor was there the
falntest quiyer or movement of the body
perceptible. In fifteen minutes the body
was cut down and taken to the under
takers, and will be buried tomorrow
THE CRIME.
His crime was particularly atrocious
one. He had forced his attentions on
Mary Dezirello, a young and highly
respected girl, and had for months perse-
cuted her with advances which she re-
PEELED.
She was engaged to be married to a
young man in San Francisco, and on
October 10th, shortly after learning of her
engagement, Lopez called her out of a
neighbours house, and after demanding
an explanation from her shot her through
the body.
As she lay dying on the ground he
stepped over her, and, with fiendish ma
lignity, fired shot after shot into her
body.
The crime aroused tremendous public
feeling, and vigilance committee was
formed to handle him.
Sheriff Broughton hurried the prisoner
off to Ventura, and as he was not safe
there, afterwards to Los Angeles, where
ne was Kept month, when he was
brought back, as the Jail here was strongly
fortified.
He was tried in December. His de-
Tense was an aggravation of the crime.
He declared that his victim had been
criminally intimate with him, which was
clearly proven to be false.
He was convicted after trial lasting a
week, the jury being out only ten min
utes.
His crime, trial and execution all oc-
CURED in less than 100 days.
