THE HORRIBLE ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Jeremiah Cotto. Who Murdered His
Friend, Killed at Sing Sing.

Jeremiah Cotto. Who Murdered His
Friend, Killed at Sing Sing.
SING SING, n. Y, March 2s.--Jeremiah
Cotto, who murdered Luigi Francolosa
last July, was eiectrocuted this morning
at 10;40 a. m. The preliminaries Of the ex-
ecution did not differ any from those in
the past. Five shocks were given the con-
demned man. His right leg, where the
electrode was applied, was severely burned
and his face was horribly dlscolored, even
more so than that of any previously cleo
trocuted criminal.
Jeremiah Cotto and Luigi Francolosa were
rag-pickers and natives of Italy. Cotto lived
with Francolosa and the wife of the Latter in a
little shanty is South Brooklyn. He tried to in
duce Mrs. Francolosa to poison her husband,
but, although she participated in the murder
plot, she refused to administer the poison.
Early on the morning of July "a, Cotto and
Francolosa started for New Utrecht to steal veg
etables. While they were returning Cotto
stabbed his companion to death IN lonely lane
on the outskirts of the city. Fraucolosa had fif-
teen cuts on his body, and nearly all of them
had been inflicted from behind. Cotto was pre-
pairing for flight with the wife of his victim
when he was captured. His trial in December
resulted in speedy conviction of murder in the
first degree. and he was sentenced to be killed
during the week beginning January Is. The
case was carried to the court of appeal but
judgment was affirmed, and he was sentenced TO
death during the week beginning March 2S.
Cotto, through an interpreter, said after SEN
tence had been pronounced: "It was somebody
else who committed the murder On the trial
he swore that he killed Francolosa in self-de-
feusei

Pat Rooney Is Dead,

New York, March 2s.-Pat Rooney, the
Irish comedian, died today of pneumonia,
after three days Illness.
tPat Rooney was born in Ireland in 1913 He
came to America twenty years ago with quite 3
reputation as a song and dance man, and the
New York variety stage voted him a failure at
first, till he brought out the song 'Shoot the
Hat" which made his fame as wide as
the country. For years he travelled with va
riety troupe of his own, scoring Tremendous
success His monologue, "Muldoon, the Solid
Man, made everybody laugh Pat bore strik-
ing resemblance to the late Mr.. Crowley, the
chmpanzee in Central park, New York. They tell
a story, to the effect that his death bed Just
before the end, Crowley beckoned to his nurse
who bent over the unfortunate creature and
heard these whispered words: "Don't give il
away till I'm gone, but Pat Rooney is my
uncle" In his sketches Pat merely mimicked
his father. He picked up little girl aud
put her on the stage, where she used
TO burlesque his acts; when she grew older she

THE SEATTLE CANAL BILL.

Its Passage by this Congress.

Senator Squire Working Hard to Secure
Its Passage by this Congress.
WASHINGTON CRY, March 2S.-T Special.
Senator Allen said today there was great
probability that the state commerce conf
mittee would report favorably Senator
Squire's bill for the ship canal to connect
Lakes Union and Washington with Puget
sound. Senator Squire is very confident
that his bill will not only be reported but
that it will pass the Senate. He wants the
Senate committee to pass the bill
and then he thinks that he will
be on fair way TO secure
its passage in the House. Every effort is
being made to press the bill through. and
Senator Squire has made personal cam
vas of the Senate in order to secure the
support necessary to passing. 1t is rather
uphill work. because the old senators hold
that as Washington is new state it should
wait till it has more fully developed before
1t gets as much money as other states in
the Union who have long been fixed in
their position.
Washington got very little in the river
and harbor bill compared with other
states, and this can be explained upon the
basis that it never had surveys, and the
bill last year provided for the surveys, and
then the Democratic House refused to en-
ter into any projects. 1t is possible that
Senator Squire's bill for the ship canal will
be defeated in the House, even if it passes
the Senate, because it proposes a new pro-
ject.

on good authority that the president and
his cabinet are we'll pleased with the con-
ciliatory tone of Lord Salisbury's note of
the 2sth inst, especially as it is held to
concede the point that has been the
principal cause of contention, viz: Re-
newal of the modus yivendi of last year
for the protection of the seal fisheries.
This alleged concession is believed to be
implied in his proposition to agree to q
modus in case the treaty of arbitration is
ratified, under the condition that
each government shall guarantee
the other for damages incurred through
the suspension of sealing operations. One
official, who has been consulted by the
president in regard to the negotiations, said
he was especially pleased with Lord Sails
bury's admission that Great Britain would
hold itself liable for damage resulting to
the United States because of the modus
vivendi in the event that the verdict of
the arbitrators is adverse to the contest
ants. II is said that, taken altogether,
Lord Salisbury's note is satisfactory as in
dicating a good prospect for an amicable
settlement of the question at issue. Fur
ther correspondence will be necessary to
settle the method of determining the char
acter of the damage claims.
The correspondence on the Bering sea
question shows that Salisbury wrote to
Sir Julian Pauncefote on February 27 that
he could not admit the correctness of
BlaiHe's statement that England was re-
sponsible for the delay in settling the sea
dispute. He says the modus viyendi was
granted last year to prevent the entire de-
struction of the seals, but this government
does not think such measure necessary
this year. Continuing, he says: "You
are authorized to offer to the government
of the United States the compromise sug-
gested by the British commission. A
speedy decision is necessary, as the sealing
vessels are already leaving port"
SANTA BARBARA, Cal, March 2s.-The
British cruiser Warspite sailed from here
today, her destination being Esquimalt.
In speaking of Bering sea matters, some
of the chief officers said it was improbable
that they would go to Bering sea, but
they would know nothing certain as to the
future movements until they reached
British Columbia.
LONDON, March 2S.-The Star, comment
ing on the Bering sea correspondence,
says; The dispatches do not give Lord
Salisbury the better of it. He has not
been consistent. Mr.. Blaine has. Ameri-
cans have behaved as if they genuinely de-
sired to protect the seals, Lord Salisbury
as though he were afraid of offending the
Canadians, whose only desire is to catch

Democrats Refuse Outright to
Pass a Gag Rule.
GREAT VICTORY FoRcLEvElANp.
Bland and His Fell0w-Agitators Give
Up the Stuggle in Despair.
Speaker Crisp Says n Majority of the
Democrats Must Petition for Gag
Rule, but Thirty-five of the Free
silver Refuse to Sign.

WASHINGTON CRY, March 2s.-Tspecial ]
The silver men have understood that a
special order bringing in cloture rule
would be reported to the House tomorrow,
and teiegraphed to all their men to be in
the House tomorrow. This morning
Speaker Crisp informed the House that
no special rule would be brought in unless
majority of the Democratic members of
the House sign petition asking that a
cloture rule be brought in. Speaker
Crisp was asked by an Associated Press
reporter this morning if the reports were
true that the order would not be
brought in unless majority of the Demo-
Gratis signed a petition. He replied: THAT
is my inclination" "Then the silver bill
will never be brought to a vote?" queried
the reporter. 81 do not know that that

follows" replied the speaker. "They had
two-thirds majority of the Democrats,
and may have a majority to sign the peti-
tion."
Mr.. Bland, Mr.. Pierce and other silver
men were seen. Mr.. Bland was very down.
cast over the news that he might not force
to vote the bill he has worked for so long.
He admitted that the report that the silver
bill had met with another setback and
one which practically meant its
death without a final vote was
well founded, but said the
matter was not absolutely settled. Mr..
Pierce was little more confident, but he
and Mr.. Bland said they would have moth
ing to do with the circulation of any more
petitions. One of the other silver men,
however, attempted to get signatures to a
petition of the nature suggested by the
speaker, but met with poor success, for
thirty-hve of the men who have heretofore
voted for the silver bill refused to sign it.
Among the number were Mr.. Compton, of
Maryland, who not only declined to sign
the petition, but gave notice that if any clo-
ture resolution is brought up he will vote
against it.
The anti-silver men are exultant over
the change in the situation, but the pro-
nounced silver advocates are exceedingly
irritated and angry, and do not hesitate to
Indignantly protest against the treatment
they have received. They were so much
discouraged at the declaration of the in
tention of the silver men not to sign any
petition that the effort to procure sigma
lures to such paper was abandoned, and
no actual petition is now in circulation.
1t is understood that the free-silver
Cleveland men, who know that it means
defeat to Grover if the free-silver bill
passes the House, take occasion to get out
of supporting the propo sition to secure a
vote upon the question by saying that
their party voted and fought at the last
session, both in the House and Senate,
against this very cloture which it is pro-
posed to bring into the House and force a
vote upon. 1t gives them an opportunity
to back out and back down; leave Cleveland
the nominee; leave the party in position
to refuse TO incorporate a free coinage
plank in its platform; leave to Eastern
Mugwumps the opportunity of supporting
the Democratic candidate and place the
Eastern Democrats in position to go before
the people and claim that their party is
the party of honest money. There seems
to be little doubt that Cleveland Will be
the nominee if the silver issue is COM
pletely knocked out, and it now looks as if
it was in that condition.

and Crisp see page p.
