him that spirit which will win
success. He also agreed to wait
until he could make enough to pay

When young Pittman had mas

the battle of life. His fathers af

WILL NOT HAVE HIM.
The Chinese Government a gain Refuses
to Recognize the Senator Who
Talked Too Much.


WAsHrNGroN, July 6.-Mr. Henry w.
Blair has been again turned down by
the Chinese government. Mr.. Blair, it
will be remem bered, was nominated to
the Chinese mission during the closing
days of the last session of congress.
simultaneously with the presidents
action, the Chinese legation forwarded
to Pel<in complete abstract of Mr..
Blair's record on the Chinese question.
After it had been read and considered,
the i'm perih government decided that it
would not receive Mr.. Blair, and a cable
gram to that effect was at once forwarded
to its minister here. 1t ought to have
settled it but it did not the president
thought he would try it again, in hope
presumably, that when Ii Hung Chang
found how anxious the administration
was abour it, he might relent and CON
sent to receive the New Hampshire
statesman. The Chinese premier's reply
reached Washington few days ago. 1t
was intended to keep it close secret,
but its contents leaked out today, and L
am officially advised that they entered a
polite, but none the less a firm refusal
to accept Mr.. Blair as our diplomatic
representative. What action the admin
istration will take is probiematieal. Mr..
Blair undoubtedly is Indifferent so long
as his name is carried upon the rolls of
the state department. He took the oath
of Office on March 4, and since that time
he has been drawing the salary attached
to that mission, $4,000 per annum. In
other words, he will have been paid at
the end of tliiS month $4,000, sum equal
to his salary as senator for one year.

The Desert Lake Receding.

Los ANGELES, July 5.-The indications
at Salton today are that the desert lake
has reached it's highest point. and will
recede rapidly from now until it disap-
pears entirely. The water fell so rapidly
today that Superintendent Durbrow
started up the mill this afternoon. In a
dispatch to Superintendent Muir. of the
Southern Pacific, he says:
''The water reached the boiler room
yesterday afternoon, but high wind
during the night drove it back 200 feet
and lowered it one foot. A light wind is
blowing from the south today, and a
strong current has set in from the south,
caused, I think, from gravitation, dram
ing the water back to the still water.
The highest mark was reached this
morning at O'Clock. | am running the
mill today"

gressional and county lecturers in sew
eral Instances made two speeches. A
feature Of all the congi essional meetings

made two trips and was returning to the

Little Johnny Eaton was the victim.
He was caught under the elephants

cution of four murderers, Slocum,
Siniler, Wood and Jugiero was done this
morning. Slocum was killed at :421a
Smiler at 5:l4, Wood at 5 :3g and
Jugiero at 6:l6.
A small white flag run to the top of
the pole announced to the waiting re-
porters outside that Slocum, the base
ball player, the man who had hacked
his wife to death with an ak had died
just five minutes before. Before the flag
was set the news had been sent on a
dozen waiting wires.
The death-like silence which fol-
lowed the raising of the flag was oppres-
sive.

morning sun topped the eastern bluff

The square of blue bunting which
crawled slowly up the pole at :15 an
nounced that Smiler. the salvation army
boy, the slayer of his third wife, had
given life for life five minutes before.
At D "A O'Clock the black flag went up
the pole again. 1t settled fact that the
negro Wood who had killed his com
panion, a quadroon, during quarrel, was
dead
Then that big muscular fellow
Jugiero, who in fit of rage stabbed to-
death one of his countrymen, was to be
the next. The flag of death for him was
red. The red flag went up at 6:06

The entire time consumed in execut-
ing the four men was one hour and
twenty three and one-half minutes.
No one knows who were the legal
witnesses to the killing. The witnesses
had remained in the prison all night. 1t
was the idea of the warden to keep them
within the walls where they could not
be interviewed

All of them refused to say anything,
however, except that the executions had
passed off without any hitch and had
been successful from scientific stand
point.
They all went to the execution chair
bravely and met their fate without a
struggle. The electrodes were not ap-
piled as in the Kemmler case to the top
of the skull'and base of the spine but
were bound to the foreheads of the con-
| demned men and the calves of their legs.
/ The current was turned on in each case
for twenty seconds. The voltage was
from about 1900 to 1900 in each case.
There was an apparent evidence of
revival as in the Kummler case, and the
current was turned on the second time
! for each man.
Medical men present agree that death
came on the first contact and that the
seeming revival was merely the relax
muscular action.
DIR. Barker, prison physician came out
shortly after twelve and said the autopsy
was completed but that no statement
will be given out for several hours.
