JERRY SIMPSONS VIEWS.
TOO EARLY TO SPRING The TaIRD
PARTY MOVEMENT.

He VIII Favor the Scheme at the
Washington Convention Next Year.
Farm lands MortgaGed for More
Than They Are Worth-The All ancs
and the speakorship.
WASHINGTON, May u.-Representativ
Jerry Simpson is quoted as being, like the
other alliance leaders, opposed 10 beginning
the third party movement at the Cincin-
natl alliance convention, although he will
favor it at the Washington convention next
year. He says that he learned good deal
during his eastern trip. He found that in
New York state perhaps 90 per cent. of the
farms were mortgaged for more than they
would actually bring IL sold now. They
were mortgaged whea farm lands were high
and many Of them are now not worth half
what they were then.
BECOMING FREE TRADERs
He says the people are rapidly becoming
free traders. He predicts that the north
will discover that projection is as much a
mistake for it rs slavery was for the south.
The Democratic party, he says. 10
now free trade party. IL is
and will be the conservative party,
and new party will accomplish the re-
forms that are necessary. A tariff for
revenue, he says, Is not free trade. The
free trade party will have no use whatever
for customs houses. Protection will
have TO be uprooted, as slavery was, by
bold, radical action, not little by little.
ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE.
Speaking Of the organization Of the next
House, he said that he supposed that the
democrats might elect Mr.. Crisp speaker, as
he was strong, well-balanced. brainy and
conservative man. As TO the farmers
alliance. they would. he said. act together.
Their number was not definitely known. but
there would thirtySfive or forty OF them.
He thought they would demand some cons
cesslons from the candidate they supported,
and IL they could not get these concessions
they would bolt tie democratic caucus. He
thought probably It would be easier to get
concessions from Mr.. Springer than from
either Mr.. Mills or Mr.. Crisp.

TO DIE BY ELECrRICITY.
The Supreme Court Rules on the Ap-
peals from New York.

pesls from New York.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The supreme
court to-day decided the cases Of George
Wood, negro, and Shebyou Jugiro, q
Japanese, sentenced to death In New York
by means Of electricity, they having been
convicted of murder. In Woods case a
writ OF habeas corpus was asked for because
negroes were excluded from the iuries
which indicted and convicted him. The
court holds that there is nothing in the law
OF the state Of New York excluding citizens
OF the African race from juries, and IL he
believed that negroes had, as a matter Of
fact, been excluded because of their race the
question should have been raised in the
trial court and cannot now be brought up.
JUGIRo's CASE.
In the Jugiro case the court says it sees
no reason for bringing the case here save to
delay execution of the sentence. AS to the
question raised that the New York court
resentenced Jugiro after his former appeal
had been denied by the supreme court of
issuance Of mandate, the court
says it would have been more ia
accordance with the proprieties to have
awaited this mandate, but that, as final
Judgment had been rendered, this fact cans
not vitiate the proceedings of the lower
court. The exclusion OF japanese from the
jury, IL says, Is covered by the decision in
the Wood case
The supreme court, after hearing brief
statement explanatory Of the Smiler and
Slocum habeas corpus murder cases, also
electrocution cases, this afternoon affirmed
the Judgments OF the lower courts, refusing
these men writ OF babeas corpus. The de-
cision was announced from the bench, and
the mandate directed to be issued at once.

AN EXPLOSION ON A s7EAME 3.
Eight Men Killed and Twenty-Five In.

Eight Men Killed and Twenty-Five In
jured in a Dry Dock.
LONDON, May ia terrific explosion
occurred to-day in the forehold Of the
British steamship Tancarville, Caps. Carter,
undergoing repairs in the dry dock at New
port. Eight men at work on the steamer
were killed and twenty-five injured. The
steamer was badlydamaged by the explosion
The Tancarville is a tank steamer engag ed
in carrying oil in bulk from American
ports, and the last voyage was from Phila-
delphia for Havre. After reaching the lat
ter port and discharging she proceeded to
Newport, where she was to load for Balti-
more. There is no doubt that the explosion
was caused by gases that prevail to a greater
or less extent in the holds OF all oil carrying
ships.
The force OF the explosion was so great
that the far end OF the deck was torn from
Its fastenings and blown off. As the steamer
was out OF the water there was no pressure
on the hull TO counterbalance the tre-
mendous outward strain executed by the
explosion, and Ii is reported that some OF
the plates on the bottom of the Tancarville
were blown from their bolts. The wood
work Of the forward portion OF the steamer
caught fire, but the flames were soon ex-
tinguished.
A BIG FoRCE AT WORK.
The repairs which were being made 10
the steamer we're quite extensive. aud 100
men and boys were employed in aud around
the vessel when the explosion occurred.
Large pieces of timber and iron from the
steamer were blown with terrific force
through the air, and some Of them were
hurled against the workshops, which wero
situated fifty yards from the dry dock in
which the Tancarville was lying, causing
much damage TO them. A number of work.
men employed in the shops were struck by
pieces Of flying debris, aud some OF them
were quite severely injured.
