SEIZED RUSSIAN MAILS.
The sultan Of Turkey May Become In-
voIved In "a Deep Difficulty.

II is reported from Constantinople that
the Sultan, under the influence of the
German and Austrian authorities, has re-
fused TO discipline the Governor OF Sal
onica for confscating the Russian mail TO
Mount Athos recently. 1t is an open
secret in diplomatic circles that the Mount
Athos cloister has long been little less
than an advanced post OF the Russian
army. OF its 3. 900 monks at least 1900
are non-commissioned Russian officers,
who in monks garb traverse the surround
ing country and gather informal on for the
Russian general stan. To facilitate their
work these officials recently had estab-
lished special mail service
from Salonica TO Mount Athos
Thus, while the Austrian apJ French
postoffices in the city managed only the
correspondence of French and Aurtrians
in Turkey with foreign ports, Russia had
"A domestic mail service on Turkish SOIL
This effrontery moved even the Sultan to
anger. and. upon hint from him, the Cow
ernor of Salonica contscated the mail 10
the cloister recently and forbade the con-
tinuation Of the service. The Russian con-
sui in Salonica reported his action to NJ.
de Nelidof in Constantinople and the latter
protested to the Sultan. The Austrian and
German ministers protested against this
protest. IL was hardly expected. how
ever, that their advice would stiffen the
Sultan's backbone sufficiently to cause him
TO persist in opposing this last encroach-
ment of Russia upon his sovereign rights.

1880 this morning Murder Cal
Woods was led into the death
chamber. The condemned mans
face was pale and there was the
slightest tremor about his cool,
compressed lips, but he permitted
no other outward sign of emotion.
When he reached the chair the
prisoner said:
II want to thank Xe.rden
Thayer for his kindness 20 me;
also my keepers. NV time is so
short on earth is not long enough
to return my thanks to Judge
Whitman for his noble efforts. He
has been more than brother to
to me and l hope he may live long
and happy in the Lord"
The religious feeling of the
doomed man found expression in
these words:
II pray God will now give
me strength to meet Him, for l
know am going there. God bless
you all. May He make you all
happy"
AS he sat down in the chair he
said: "God remember me-" He
repeated this three times while the
straps were being adjusted. His
last words were "God bless me-"
AS the contact came Woods's body
straightend out rigidly and his
hands turned upward on the arms
of the chair. Twelve seconds was
the duration of the first consact.
The second was two seconds shorter
and as it reached full power curl
of blue smoke arose from the
murders forhead and the odor of
burned rubber filled the room.
This was repeated in the third and
fourth contacts of six seconds each.
Woods was in the chair one
minute and fourteen seconds.
There was slight blistering on the
forehead. The autopsy showed
that there were no traces of an
electrical current found upon the
remains save slight blisterirg of
the skin under the spot where the
eleetrode rested on the left calf.

Gen. Weaver received an i'm

Colorado where he spoke last week.
He passed through Salt Lake
Tuesday and the Tribune reports
him in very hopeful frame of
mind. He claimed that Vermont
was the only state in the union
that could with certainty be relied
on as for Harrison. Several of the
important eastern states were going
for Cleveland, while the peoples
party was very strong in the west
and south. AS to Kansas the gen.
erals idea was that every officer
from constable up would be cap
tured by the peoples party. In
the south the general has a very
strong following in every state,
strong enough to seriously disturb
the democracy, and on the whole
the old war horse would not be
paralytically surprised if the No.
vember election landed him in the
presidential chair.
