reprieve in the case of Charles Raynor
and Frederick Eggeton, the poachers
who were condemned TO death for the
killing of Joseph Crawley and William

of Pitstone. were of no avail, and con-
seouently the two men were hanged at
Oxford at 5 o'clock this morning. Both
men were calm, and they repeated in
fervent tones the responses TO the ser
vice read by the chaplain OF the jail.
At the signal the drop fell and death
was almost instantaneous.
The newspapers, except the extreme
Tory press, are unanimous in denounc-
Ing the execution. The men were de-
tected while shooting birds on the do
mains OF one OF the landed gentry, and
in the struggle that followed the keep
ers were killed. Strong efforts were
made 10 induce Secretary Matthews 10
extend clemency TO the TWO unfortunate
men. who apart from the crime Of de-
Tending their common right to the wild
animals OF field and forest, had ordlna-
rily good regulations. The newspapers
demand that the game laws, which have
been the curse Of England for centur-
les, be repealed. 1.-TWO lives" says one

New YORK, March 17.-SeCretary

ampton on the steamship Spree, OF the
North German Lloyd line. He was
transferred at : o'clock TO the steam
boat Laura II. Starin, which was in
waiting at Quarantine, and Immediately
came up to the city. The Secretary had
a rough experience on the voyage. On
the 18th, while sitting in chair on the
deck, the ship gave sudden lurch and
precipitated him against the port rail,
striking heavily on his head, which
gave him a severe shock and blackened
his right eye. Otherwise he is in good
condition, having been very much i'm
proved in health by the trip.
About 10 O'Clock O'DOnovan Rosa ar
rived AT the Fifth Avenue Hotel to see
Secretary Foster. He wanted the Sec
retary 10 explain what he meant by
speaking of flannel mOuthed" or "clam
mouthed" IriShmen.
RoSsa failed to see Mr.. Foster. The
Secretary was seen this afternoon, and
made the following statement in refer
ence 20 his trip, and more especially in

friends and callers. The subject OF inn

came thoroughly Amcricanized. Even
among the cOmmonest classes OF irish
immigrants was this noticeable. The

with American ideas.
This was in contrast TO the NOrwe-
gianS and Danish and the people from
the south OF Europe, who are slower in
assimilation and who maintained the
characteristics Oi their natiOnalities for
a longer period
Secretary Foster will remain here
until tomorrow, when he will leave for
his home.

A CLEVELAND LETTER
That Never Was Published, Alleged to
Have Been Found By the Evening
Telegram"

That Never Was Published, Alleged to
Have Been Found BY the Evening
Telegram"
New YORK, March 1.-THE Evening
telegram says: Notwithstanding all
that is said concerning the anxiety OF
Mr.. Cleveland TO be renOminated for the
Presidency, the Telegram is in a posi-
tiOn 10 announce, on unimp peachable
authority, that the ex-President recent
ly wrote a letter declaring that he
would not allow himself TO be put in
nomination.
This letter was written in vigorous
and sweeping language. Mr.. Cleveland
said in the strongest and simplest way
that he would not accept a nomination.
No one but Mrs. Cleveland knew OF the
letter The ex-President penned it
without the knowledge OF his political
friends, in order to prevent them from
attempting TO interfere with his action.
Mr.. Cleveland intended 10 make the
letter public through the Associated
Press. and il was written with that pur
pose in view.
On the very day that the declination
was 20 be published Mrs. Cleveland
saved the situation by sending for one
Of the leaders most trusted friends. To
this gentleman Mr.. Cleveland frankly
confessed that he was sick of the little
ness and chickering's and insults that
daily infringe upon his private life; that
he had not lifted so much as his little
finger 10 secure nomination; that
nothing would induce him 70 enter the
race, and that he had plainly said so in
q letter that could be printed at once.
After few minutes conversation, Mr..
Cleveland'S friend induced him TO
promise that the letter would not be
given 10 the Associated Press for twen-
ty-four hours. Word was sent to sew
eral OF the most faithful and level
headed Cleveland men and a council was
hurriedly held.
Mr. Cleveland spoke with great feel
Ing at this council, but he was at last
persuaded 10 withdraw the letter.

TALKING ABOUT TIN.
A Block of Alleged California Tin Deco
rates Consressman's Desk-The Nc
Kinley Bill Under Discussion.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 17.-Af-
ter short session the House went into
the Committee of the Whole, with Mr..
Blount in the chair, on the Free Wool
bill.
Mr.. Payne, Of New York, defended
the Mckinley act, and entered upon an
argument in vindication of the rulings
OF Speaker Reed in the last Congress.
intimating that the gentlemen who
were denouncing that gentleman as a
tyrant were evidently not speaking in
good faith after their action in sustain
ing the action of Speaker Crisp, few
days ago, relative to the reading OF the
journal.
Proceeding to defend the Mckinley
act, he spoke of the advantages accru-
ing to the people from protective tar
iff and referred to the increasing pro-
duction OF tin and the manufacture OF
tin plate. In order 10 strengthen Mr..
Payne'S argument, Mr.. Bowers OF Cali
iornia said that tomorrow he would
have upon his desk a tin block made in
his district which would weigh tifty-siX
pounds.
Mr.. Payne-"And l can prove by one
hundred men upon the other side that
il never came from California, but from
Wales laughterl.
Mr.. BowerS--"You do not mean that
they will prove it, but that they will
say it," Laughter.
Then Mr.. Bowers, taking his hat, left
the hall, and in a few minutes returned
with his block of tin, which he placed
in triumph upon his desk, and called
the attention of the members to it,
amid laughter.
Mr.. Harter, of Ohio, then took hand
in the discussion and piled Mr. Payne
with number of questions. OF which
Mr.. Payne finally wearied and himself
assumed the role of interlOcutor, ,inQuir-
ing whether the gentleman from Ohio
had yet received a reply from Senator
Hill. Laughter. Senator Hill did
not appear to be with the gentleman on
the tariff any more than he was with
him on the silver question. He hoped
that the gentleman from Ohio, when he
heard from Senator Hill on the silver
question, would also tell that gentle
mans views on the question OF the tar
iff. Laughter.
Mr.. Payne was followed by Mr.. Ray
nor Of Maryland, who spoke against the
Mckinley bill. Mr.. Ellis of Kentucky,
spoke in advocacy Of the pending meas
ure. The basis of the entire tariff, he
said, was the woolen schedule, and it
was the duty Of the Democratic House
TO break through this schedule and
thus cause the entire structure TO tot
ter. This was a progressive measure.
The present law utterly disregarded
the rights Of consumers and added
nothing TO the rate Of wages, its whole
scope and purpose being to aid private
enterprise at the expense Of the public.
The committee then rose and the
House adjourned.
