of women swell as the cane is laid on,
and of men too. When sent to Jail they
must supply their own food and that Of
the jaier or they are allowed to starve.
If they have not sufficient blankets they
are allowed to freeze to death. There
are different methods of execution. One
is what would correspond with our
hanging, but it is different. The victim
is put against post and rope is
thrown around his neck. Then it is
pulled till the breath of life departs.
Another form of execution is that of
cutting to pieces by inches, which is
done when the sentence of death is for
the murder of a father or mother or
some other near relative. First one ear
is taken off, then the other, next the
tongue is taken out and so on. A third
is death by starvation. l have seen a
man Gagged in the public streets, and al
lowed to end his life by this method,
not being permitted to touch either wa
ter or food. Sometimes q small boy
will bring him little opium, which
helps to lessen the suffering and brings
about more speedy death. The most
common form is taking off the head bv

asked if he were going to be much

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.
Popular Sentiment Favors Separation
from Great Britain.

Popular Sentiment Favors Separation
from Great Britain.
Many Americans will doubtless be
surprised to learn, says Walter Black
burn Harte in an article on Canadian
Journalists and Journalism, in the New
England Magazine, how many Of the
leading editors of Canada express them
selves as being in favor of the adoption
of continental commercial policy and
complete separation from Great Britain.
Nothing could show more distinctly the
drift of the popular sentiment in the
dominion, for everybody is aware that
newspapers only echo public opinion.
and do not create it, nowadays.
A few years ago there was little toll
erance in Canada for any man who
dared to speak of the possibility of sew
ering the sentimental tie binding the
country to Great Britain. Now Cana
dian independence is one of the strong
est of popular appeals.
The strong opposition OF the conserv-
alive party to anything like free trade
with the United State is based upon the
contention that complete independence
of Great Britain would result in an
absorption of Canada by the great re-
public. The leading journalists of the
dominion unite in urging the necessity
of Canada belonging to this continent
economically, and some of them are
willing to admit to their constituencies
that if such Identification of the COM
mercial interests of the two countries
involve political union, then political
union is desirable. Such an undercur-
rant in the newspapers cannot be mis-
%olya,,

DOGS TURNED WILD.
Pack of Hounds Which Have Gone
Back to Savagery.

A Pack of Hounds Which Have Gone
Back to savagery.
For some time there have been re-
ports of a strange band of animals
which was depredating on the farmers
in the northwestern part OF Kansas. 1t
was supposed that it was new kind of
wolf, but as the animals were very
wild and were only seen at long inter-
walls, no description could be had OF
them. 1t has developed, however. that
instead of being wolves it is pack of
wild hounds. They have evidently at
some time been left by man and have
returned to savage state. A man
named Withers who had lost colt and
was searching for it had occasion to
camp out in that part of the country
where there were no settlers and while
in camp the band of wild animals sur
rounded his place and raised such a
noise that he shot and killed one of
them.
The rest of the band ran off and he
brought the dead animal into camp to
save its skin. He was much surprised
the next morning to find that he had a
dead dog instead of dead wolf. The
dog was evidently full-blooded fox
hound. Withers thought that this
might give clew to the strange noises
produced by the animals, and concluded
to stay and investigate. He stayed
around there all next day, and at night
was again visited by the animals. He
scared them off and noticed the direc-
ton they took, and next morning fol-
lowed their trail. He traced them to a
rocky hill, and there found that the an.
imals made their home. He counted
sixteen dogs which were hiding in the
holes and clefts in the rocks, and
thinks they have evidently sprung from
dogs that have been deserted by their

the center Of the body on the part of

limbs are on an ordinary steer and is
about the size of two ordinary legs.

RELICS OF THE PAST.
The Navy That Helped Britain to
Rule the Sea.

1t is useful contrast to turn aside
from the activity of the present and
view certain relics of the past, says a
visitor to the great Chatham dock
yards. In one deserted corner is to be
found melancholy line of strange
looking half-dismantled ships, failures
of one Kind or another, yet containing an
immense amount OF expensive material.
The dockyard knows their berth as
Rotten Row, and would like to see the
end of the old scarecrows. which the
rats make play grounds OF, but which
no other living creature cares to enter.
But there Is another set of antiquities
of more agreeable aspect. Good, solid
old three-deckers, such as the Penn
broke, used as depot Tor crews paid
OF and waiting for other ships.
Why poor Jack, after a long cruise,
should be compelled to inhabit one of
these worm-eaten old hulks, which cam
not be very airy or healthy, is thing
past comprehension, when you think
OF Joe, the marine. in comfortable
roomy barracks, with no cockroaches
or bilge water to trouble him. But
as antiquities these old wooden
ships are pleasant, with their port
holes and towering sides. And next
to the Pembroke is an old French Cor
captured in the old days of NELSON and
Nile" And among these curosities is
the AlgierS, one of the first line-of-battle
ships fitted with steam power, of which
we used to think a good deal III the
Black sea in the days of the old Crimean
war. as she could crawl along without a
wind at some four Or five knots an hour.
NOW we are once more up to date in
the midst OF vast machine shop, fitted
up with the best and most scientific ma
chlnery, where plates of steel and iron
are being cut and pared and punched
holes in, like so much writing paper.
And with the noise and cIamor of all
this in our ears we reach the compare
tive calm Of the dockyard gate. The
long lines of huge tunnels, of
spars of all kinds. of derrieks and
cranes, of big guns and huge
turrets, recede in the distance.
We have seen noble feet in process
OF being fitted with every scientific ap-
pliance that can add to iss-fghting and
maneuvering power; cruisers which
Will cover the seas as with a cloud, huge
ironclads which are being armored for

CHICAGO. July S0.-A special from
Salt Lake City says: Herbert Slade, the
Maori, who was brought to Ibis country
some years age. for the purpose of demol-
ishing John l.. Sullivan. is now fleeing
from the wrath Of Bishop Sneazy, of
the Mormon church. Sneazy, who is
wealthy and influential in his commun-
ity, resides at Mona, small town about
sixty miles from here. He has a beau
tiful daughter who fell in love with
Slade, and bent willing ear to his pro-
posaI of marriage. The bishop,
however, would have none of
the prize fighter and locked the girl in
her room. Late last night Slade assisted
the girl to escape. hurried her before a
justice Of the peace, and the couple
then started toward the Pacific coast.
Bishop SneaZy attempted to pursue the
lovers, but they were too far In ad-
vance. and he has gone back to Mona to
nurse his wrath.

Some question having arisen as to
whether it was proper to allow the

his name was mentioned or hot, every

served, had some effect Oh Mr.. Cohb,

THE IDAHO FIGHT.
IA Movement for Arbitration to Be

Pushed.
BOISE CITY, Idaho. July 30.-A move
mlent is now on foot for some of the
leading men to induce both parties in
the mining fight to submit the whole
question to commission of prominent
citizens of Idaho for arbitration. 1t is
admitted that those guilty of murder.
and arson should be sought out and pun
ished, but there are weighty questions
which it is thought can be reached, and
can be settled only by arbitration. This
plan is quietly taking shape, and some
definite proposition will no doubt be
forthcoming i'll few days.
