signed to His Fate.
MELBOURNE. May %, IL As 45A.M.-Deeming
was hanged at 1901 o'clock this morning. He
appealed to the Victorian executive and to
the British privy council for a respite. but
both refused to interfere, and accordingly
to-day he paid the full penalty of the law.
Had he escaped justice in Australia he would
have been taken to England, where be would
have been hanged for the Rain Hill murders.
Deeming passed Sunday In writing, calm
~ discussing at intervals his approaching
doom. He said he had no intention of max
ing speech on the scaffold. On Sunday
night he thrice swallow ed eagerly a small
allowance of spirits, after which he slept
soundly until he was awakened at O'Clock
this (Mondayl morning.
THE MANACLEs TAKEN OFF.
Then for the first time since his arrest
the manacles on his wrists were removed
and smoking cigar, he conversed with
those around him. He declared that he was
resigned to his fate and had no fears in re-
gard to the future. To the governor of the
prison he said that he had made his peace
with God. he persisted in deny
ing that 5hat he he was guilty of
never, he declared, lost his selt-control in
England as he had since his arrival in
Australia. He expressed gratitude to the
governor and all the prison officials for the
consideration they had shown him, and also
to Mr.. Lyle, his counsel and to all con-
cerned in his defense.
PROMISED NOT TO MAKE A SCENE.
He said he thought he would not falter or
make any scene on the scaffold
A few moments before the time set for
the execution Deeming was allowed q glass
OF brandy, which he swallowed at a gulp,
and was told he might have more If the
prison doctor so ordered. The doomed
man was then led to the gallows,
and, in few moments, all
was over. The drop was feet. The exe-
cution was witnessed by large gathering,
Including government and civil officials,
magistrates, police and clergymen. There
was large crowd outside the prison from
an early hour in the morning till long after
the execution was over. Order was main
tained by strong force of police. When
weighed early this morning Deeming turned
the scales at l43 pounds, which is fourteen
pounds less than he weighed when admitted
to prison.

WASHINGTON, May 92.-Ths coming of
Chairman Clarkson tomorrow will gather
the anti Harrison republicans in the Senate

more definite name, must be called a oon-
ference Senator Quay, who has been wait

by them at Minneapolis week after next.
STILL BOOMING BLAINE.
The anti-Harrison leaders now here are
still booming Secretary Blaine as the man
who will beat President Harrison and then
accept the nomination himself Although
they have not as yet received any positive
statement to that effect and do not appear
TO expect any, being apparently satisfied for

significant antiquities as indicating will

holders elected as delegates throughout the

RUMORs OF BLAINE CONFERENCE.
The announcement from New York that
Secretary Blaine had engaged rooms at the
Fifth Avenue and would be there tonight
stirred up the politicians here They saw
in It promise Of a Fifth Avenue confer
ence more notable than any of the past.
They did not quite understand why Secre-
tary Blaine should 60 to Mr.. Platt when
Mr.. Platt was willing to come to Secretary
Blaine, but inferred that Secretary Blaine
preferred to deal with Mr.. Platt directly,
rather than to await the coming Of Gen.
Clarkson and negotiate through him. Up
to late hour this evening Secretary Blaine
was still at the red house in Washington
and not at the Fifth Avenue hotel In New
York.

A DESERTED BABY.
It Is Muletto But It's Father a Young
White Man.

1t Is Muletto But It's Father a Young
White Man.
GRIFFIN, Ga, May 22.-ConsiderabIe ex-
oitement was created late last night by the
announcement of a negro woman named
Mary Stroud that a baby had been left with
her. Her story was that the child was
given her by another negro woman. Cora
Prothro. The Prothro woman claims that
a large mulatto man with heavy side whisk~
ers and mustache called at her house and
asked to leave the child there until he could
come to town and get some condensed milk
for it. On his failure to return she started
out to get rid of it, and gave it to Mary
Stroud. The man tried to give
the baby to several negroes before
he finally got rid of 1t, and TO each one he
would say its mother was dying of con-
sumption and could not live longer than
June, and hsd persuaded him to give IL
away before her death. The negro claimed
to be from Newman, where he said his wife
was lying sick. The police do not believe
his story and arc confident they have a
clew that will lead to the identity OF the
child's pareutaRe. The father, they say,
is prominent young man from a little
city not far distant from Griffin. The child
is bright mulatto female apparently about
months old

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
ADJOURNMENT EARLY IN JUNE
STILL POSSIBLE

The Appropriation Bills in a Much
More Advanced stage Than in the
Last Congress-The Long Session OF
the Previous Body Due, However, to
the Tariff and Force Bills and other
Party Measures.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Senate has
made such rapid progress with the regular
appropriation bills that but two OF these
measures which have been sent to it by the
House await the action of the Senate. One of
them-the pension Appropriateness pur-
posely withheld In committee, and the other
the diplomatic aud consular-it is ex-
pected, will be reported to the Senate and
passed this week. The unfinished business
is the bill to punish violation of the treaty
rights Of aliens, but consideration of this
measure may be further delayed by the
calling up of one of the pending special
orders. There are three OF these orders,
namely: The silk culture bill, the
bill to fix the compensation
Of United States district attorneys
and the revenue marine transfer bill. 1t is
impossible to predict the order in which
these measures will be taken up, dependent,
as 1t is, on the personal convenience Of sens
ators and legislative opportunities, but
there is a strong probability that the friends
OF the revenue marine transfer bill will be
able to get it before the Senate early In the
week. Resort also will be had to the CAL
endar for one or more days, with the result
of adding to the already large number of
Senate bills which sleep in the committee
rooms Of the House.

failed to follow, rain having fallen in the

here that seven or eight men have been ar

dar was committed is bounded by
,brae raloads, and every station
has been posted and has had armed search

ford last night, but had made no new ar

GARzA's NAME MENTIONED.
The latest and most romantic rumor is
that Cara is the leader, one of the descrip-
tioas answering to that Of the instructions

lecturing at Key West for funds with
which to get safely away from Texas

Tampa aud thence north, and turn ed train

lest spot on the road, to intercept and
capture enough money to fee. The remains
of q roasted pig at a camp gives color to the
rumor tending to show that the parties had

money on the train, however. was very
small.
MAY HAVE CROSSED THE LAKE.
Itis feared by many that the robbers were
sharp enough to make their escape by water
across Lake BeresfOrd, IN which event they
would be difficult 60 locate. Another theory
is that the robbers are themselves among
the posse engaged in hunting for them.
F. r. Osborne, Southern express agent in
this city, says that there was very little
money in the company's safe on train No.
II Saturday; hardly enough to invite such
an attack if the robbers had known the
amount.
The excitement among the people for
twenty miles about Sanford is intense, and
violence is feared if the right men are
brought in. There is no evidence of any
weight against the suspects now under
arrest

NEW YoRK, May g. - Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr.. spoke OF his recent southern
tour to-day Among other things be said:
II am not q pessimist, but during my visit to
the south l was most painfully impressed
with the appalling condition Of agriculture.
The depression OF the farming interests in
thesouth is truly alarming. Cotton has
been the king OF the south, but the king has
not only lost his throne but has become a
beggar The farmers are in debt aud are
growing more and more hopeless, The
negroes are crowding into the towns more
rapidly than the whites and they loaf about
and fall into vice and rascality. The south
is the agricultural garden spot Of the world
and when agriculture fails to pey them
