ELEcTRocuTloN LAW.
The Question of Constitutionality Again
Brought Up in the Courts.

The Question of COnstitutionaIity Again
Brought Up in the Courts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The New
York electrocution law, which has been
before the federal supreme court num-
Der of times, came before it again Tues
day on a motion made by Attorney
General Tabor, of New York, to dis
miss, affirm or advance the cases of
Charles McElvaine and Nicoli Trezzo,
condemned murderers.
Although the federal supreme court
has decided the electrocution law TO be
constitutional, the two cases mentioned
came before it on the main contention
that it is unconstitutional Judge Nc
Comb, of New York, denied writ of
habeas corpus in the cases of the two
men, and from this decision an appeal
was granted to the supreme court.
George M. Curtis, consul for McElvaine,
opposed the granting of Mr.. Tabors
motion.
In his brief of the case filed in the SUI
preme court, Mr.. Curtis bases his plea
principally ON the contention that the
clause in the electrocution law pro-
hibiting the publication of the details of
an execution is restraint of the liberty
of the press granted by the constitution,
and that therefore the law is unconsti-
tutional. The court took Mr.. Tabor's
testimony under adyisement

CABINET CHANGES
All Depend Upon the Action of
Secretary Blaine.
Will He Ever Resume His Off
CiaI Duties7

II Not, General John w. Foster is Said to
Have Been Selected rs His Successor
He Has Had Considerable Experience
in Affairs of state-Attorney General
Miller TO BE Given Judgeship.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-There is a
rumor to the effect that the president in
clines to the belief that Secretary of
State Blaine will not return to Wash
ington to resume his official duties, and
If he does not Mr.. Harrison has selected
a man to take the vacant shoes. Gen
eral John w. Foster, according to the
rumor, is next for promotion to the state
department. There is good reason given
for this action. Mr.. Miller, it now seems
certain, will go out Of the cabinet and
take judgeship when the new appoint
ments are made. Then Indiana will be
without cabinet officer. The reasons
which indicate Mr.. Fosters appoint
ment are equally cogent. If new man
went into the state department it wonld
take him six months to "get the run" of
things, whereas Mr.. Foster having really
done about all that has been accom-
plished since Mr.. Blaine left, could take
up the work where it is now and carry
1t to speedy and successful conclusion.

WHITES VS.. BLACKS.
A Coal Miners Strike at Bevier, Ky.
Bloodshed Feared.

CENTRAL CITY, KY, Oct. 15.-Indica-
tions point to serious trouble between
the white and colored miners at Bevier,
a thriving mining town four miles south
of this place on the Greensboro and
Nashville railroad
1t is the general rule with the men
when there is not a regular run for the
ones who fill the cars on idle days for
the trains to be held back the first day
there is work until all the others catch
up with them. This is done that all
may have an equal show.
Last week one idle day George Fitz-
gerald, Will Chandler and Sam Shem-
nell were the white men, and Bob
Chillton and Osborn Haden the colored
men to fill the cars for trains.
Consequently, the next work day,
Henry Taught, the head driver, held
each of them back until all the miners
caught them. At this, the two negroes
laid in their complaint to Charles Hen.
drie, the bank boss, and Hendrie ordered
Taught, the driver not to hold their turn
back, but Taught refused to do this, say
ing he would call meeting of the men
to settle the matter. This he did.
The white men went into an agree
ment not to work according to general
rulings AT present the mine is on a
standstill, and it it seems that very Sc
rious trouble, and probably bloodshed
is imminent, as lives have been threat
ened,

The cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when a case of full-aedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting Of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

General FIagIor's Laboratory.
New YORK, Oct 10. "A Washington
dispatch says that the establishment of
a laboratory for conducting experiments
with smokeless powder and high ex-
plosives is project General FIagler has
had in view since he became chief Of
ordnance. Lack of funds has been the
chief obstacle in the way of carrying it
out. 1t has been finally arranged, how,
ever, to start in small way and it will
probably not be long before the army
ordnance bureau will be quite as well
equipped in this direction as the navy
and some of the foreign services.
The army laboratory is to be e5tab-
lished at the frankfort (Pa.) arsenal.
General Flagler made a visit last week
and perfected the necessary arrange
ments. He is now looking around for a
suitable officer to be placed in charge.
The work of the new laboratory will not
be confined only to the development of
governmental ideas, but experiments
will be made with samples of powder
and explosives submitted by private in
ventors, the sole object being to get the
ATblClSS WHICH, udIlN6 ldlGllb CdIl pro-
duce.
Up to this time the army has been
compelled to depend on foreign invent
ors for all the smokeless powder used
Numerous experiments have been made
with samples submitted by Americans,
but with the exception of the brand
submitted by Mr.. Houghton, of Massa-
chusetts, none have been satisfactory.
This exception, however, was notable
one, the results surprising the best for
eign inventions.
The bureau hopes to obtain an Amer
lean powder equal to the best made
abroad. Three or four large powder
firms have expressed their intention Of
providing the necessary plant just as
soon as the government has discovered
what it wants. The Duponts of Will
mington, are already engaged on plant
for the manufacture of powders under
foreign patents, and have made a small
quantity from the formula submitted by
the naval authorities. The California
powder works Mt San Francisco, have
also notified the ordnance authorities

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Frederich
Douglass, ex-minister to Hayt, delivered
a lecture on Hayti Tues day night at the
Metropolitan African Methodist church
in this city before an audience composed
largely Of negroes, but including many
of the English delegates to the Ecumen-

feeling to the criticisms of his policy in
the Mole st. Nicholas affair, and made
the suggestive announcement that if he
had done any man an injustice in his
story of the matter he stood ready to re-
tract, but if driven to the wall, he said,
he had it in his power to put before the
whole world all the correspondence
about the affair in different light and
light some gentlemen would not like

He described the Mole as the Gibraltar

In some instances the reduction reaches

who have been making $50 per month
will hereafter make 800 per month under
the new scale. On the whole, however,
for the 5000 men employed at the plant,
the reduction will be an average of only
about 10 per cent. 1t is claimed for the
firm that the cut is counteracted by in

TWICE AS MUCH SUGAR

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Secretary Rusk
has a number of samples of sorghum
sugar, manufactured by new process
by which, he says, about 200 pounds OF
sugar is obtained from ton of sorghum
cane. When asked what the new pro-
cess is he said; ut is called the alcoholic
process. Alcohol is mixed with the
sorghum syrup, and after treatment the
former is recovered by rehabilitation, so
that there is no appreciate loss. The
sugar is nearly white, and it is strong in
saccharine qualities, above 80 degrees.
| have received a dispatch from Mr..
Swenson, who has been trying the alco-
holic process, and he says that about
twice rs much crystallized sugar per ton
Of cane can be obtained as can be OBJ
