STRANGE EXPEDITION.
The Enlistment OF Men at Norfolk, Va,
Creates Some Suspicion.


WASHINGTON, July "a letter has
been received by government official
which appears to give color to the re-
port that a revolutionary movement is
being fomented in one Of the four neigh
boring republics. The writer says that
a man calling himself Capt. Annet, has
been engaged in Norfolk, Va, in
shipping men for treasure hunt
in Mexican waters. The Captain said
he wanted only rs men, but the writer
is Informed that he has shipped over
GOO. Moreover he has learned that the
vessel which is to carry the party is
now secretly engaged in taking aboard
a large quantity of arms and ammuni-
tion at port on Long Island sound.
The writer says he does not want TO get
himself In trouble, and above all does
not want TO fight, and although he has
signed to go on the'eXpedition he will
withdraw II there is any illegal act in
contemplation. Officials here are not
disposed to attach much Importance to
the communication, as they believe that
fllibustering expedition would be con-
Quoted with more caution than appears
to be shown in this case. They are also
pnzzled to guess the destinations of the
party if 1t should be of warlke intent,
but the chances are even that 1t is
meant to aid revolution In either
Hayti or Mexico.

The Itata's Case.

SAN DIEGO, GALA, July 0.-Assistant

bell left last night to confer with Mar
shall Gard and the officers OF the Charles
ton. He states that papers in the libel

day, but the trial could not be held un-

but as the bonds will be much greater
than the value OF the vessel Mr.. Camp
bell hardly thonght she would leave.
Rumor OF a plot on the part OF the
Itata's officers to take the vessel out OF
port last night are disproved by the
fact that the vessel is in no condition TO
leave, her machinery having been taken
to pieces. Her boilers are being over

his own behalf. He first gave history

New York, and then went to Lynn,
Mass, and Joined the Fifty-ninth Massa-
chusetts regiment. He spoke of several

registered at the British pris-
on as a conspirator against the
English government under that atassumed
name. In explanation of tho assumed
name, he said the Fenian authorities in
New York gave IL to him so as not to In
yolve the American government in
the event of capture. He claimed

A QUALIFIED OPINION.
DR.. shrady, Who Witnessed Kemmier's
Torture at Auburn, Expresses Himself.

DR.. shrady, Who Witnessed Kemmler's
Torture at Auburn, Expresses Himself
New YORK, July 9.-When kemmler
was electrocuted at Auburn DR.. George
f. Shrady was one OF the States invited
witnesses. Mr.. Warden Brown is re-
ported as having said he did not think
to ask him to Sing Sing. In this weeks
issue of the Record, however, DR..
Shrady has editorial reference TO the
Sing Sing executions, and the follow
ing extracts are most pertinent:
1T is with a feeling of great relief
that we announce success has this time
offset the horrors enacted last year at
Auburn, and that science, which here
tofore has so nobly lent its best efforts
to saving and prolonging life, has at
last succeeded in showing It's power to
kill effectively, quickly ana almost
pleasantly.
There was grim humanity about the
proceedings of repeating the shocks in
quick succession which relieved the
minds and consciences OF those who
guaranteed the criminals against un-
necessary sufferings.
1t is asserted that no burnt sacrifices
resulted. No official report
has as yet been issued regarding the de-
tails of The killing, and there Is nothing
behind the result in death we have TO
present of any scientific interest. The
extra precautions taken TO prevent the
expression Of the independent personal
views will necessarily detract from the
value Of the verdict when finally
rendered. 1t can scarcely be believed
that party OF scientific gentlemen could
submit to be gagged by a prison official,
and be prevented from expressing an
opinion regarding scientific phenomena,
OF which they were the selected and
skilled witnesses. They are placed In
the humiliating position OF q jury hav-
ing nominal power without voice
and presumably helpless Ia a combina-
tion as forgone conclusion.
But If we must have capital punish
ment what advantage have we gained
by electricity over hanging. We have
seen that IL may fall horribly unless ex-
traordlnary precautions were taken. IL
has been claimed by those who appear
to know that the torture Of Kemm!er
was greatly exaggerated. The most
| that we can hope is that history may
never repeat itself in It's direction"

last Congress resolution was passed in
structing the President to negotiate with
Mexico and Great Britain to prevent the
entry of Chinese laborerS from Canada
and Mexico into the United States. From
the diplomatic correspondence just
published, it appears that while Great
Britain received the proposition favor
ably, and referred it to the Canadian
Government, the Mexican Government
was unable TO cooperate, for the reason
that an article in the Mexican constitu
tlon guarantees every man right to

Special 7eIeorona to the Register.
FT. WAYNE, IND. July 9.-The
Wheeling Electric Light Commission
put in a day of very hard work to-day
with the most satisfactory results. AT 8
o'clock they were taken in charge by
Mr.. C. S. Knight, of the Fort Wayne
Electrical Company, and spent the sue
ceeding four hours In minutely inspect
ing the plant of that company. AT the
offices the commission met Mr.. James
7 Wood. the invensor OF the Wood arc
DYNAMO, manufactured exclusively Tor
the Fort Wayne company, and also Mr..
M. M. Sattery, the inventor OF the
Slatterv induction arc light machines,
and an electrician widely known in
Europe and America.
After an elaborate banquet at the
Wayne Hotel, at which a number OF
prominent electricians were present,
drive of two hours through the
streets and beautiful suburbs, including
the site of old Fort Wayne followed.
AT D. M, the Commission left in a
snecial Pullman car for Chicago.
The banquet at the Wayne Hotel this
afternoon was one OF the most elegant
affairs of the kind given In Ft. Wayne
in a long time, the company being con-
genial and the menu a work OF art.
The occasion was graced by a speech by
Dr Campbell, who said a number OF
bright and appropriate things about the
hosts in general and Mr.. Knight and
Mr.. Wood in particular in reply
m the toast "Our Host" by
Mr.. Beans. In response TO
the toast Electricity" Prof Slattery
made very learned and equally humor-
ous address, and Mr.. Craig told one Of
his Justly celebrated stories and was
encored. The local power plant for
both arc and incandescent lighting Is
,un by water power, the water being
brought four miles in an old canal bed,
and about ten million gallons are kept
stored up in an immense dam for use IN
times Of drought. The plant thus prac-
tically runs itself, there being no out
law for fuel whatever at the Ft. Wayne
factory.
During the morning visit two Wood
dynamos were placed at the disposal OF
the commission and were put through
the most satisfactory results. In one in
stance an sO-light dynamo was loaded
with 1Ol two thousand candle power
arc lights, and twenty-five lights were
then jumped off at one time. Then
fifty at time, and at last the entire
1O1 were switched off, not only with
out injury to the dynamos, but
with very little sparkling. This showed
the ability of the machine to take care
of itself under all circumstances.
As the train pulled out for Chicago
the engine struck and killed man
named Stephan, SO years old. DR.. Camp
bell attended to him. The commission
has been Joined by Dunn, of the Thorn
