WnntOn Murder.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-Dr. Shuey
Suite zee, IA Chinese physician, we'll
known and respected, died from a
wound inflicted on him by two Chinese
Highbinders Saturday evening. The
murder was most wanton and unpro-
vohed, even for Chinatown. The doctor
was cooking his dinner in his residence,
in Dupont street, when the Chinese en-
tered and committed nuisance. The
doctor requested them to stop, when,
without word, one of them drew PTS
tol and shot zee in the abdomen. The
assassins fled end have not been cap
tured. Usually the Chinese murders
here are members of one of the warning
societies, but DR.. Yee does not belong to
any of these. 1t is thought possibly the
Six companies will take the matter up
and hand over the murderers to Justice
Otherwise the chance of capturing them
is very slight.

ELEcTRocuTloN IN SING SING.
/ Charles McIlvane, Murderer of Grocery
| man Luca, Shocked TO Death.

man Luca, Shocked TO Death.
SING SING, N. Y, Feb. 0.-At II: 26
this morning the black flag shot up the
staff at Sing Sing, announcing to those
outside that Charles Mcllvane, aged 81,
had been shocked to death, or electro
cuted in prison, for the murder of Gro
ceryman Luca in Brooklyn two years
ago. McIlvane was known as the
toughest man in Sing Sing. being sui
len, ugly and defiant At times he was
openly rebellious. One day he broke his
bedstead and used one of the iron legs
in assaulting the keeper 1t took three
men to subdue him. AS a punishment
McIlvane was placed in dark cell for
several days. When Wood who was
executed last July, passed Mcllvane's
cell, on his way to the death chair, Nc
llvane cried out to him, Goodbye,
damn you, you'll be in hell before am. Z"
There has been no change in McIlvanes
demeanor since his last hope vanished,
and this morning he was subdued
and gentle. He spent most of
the night reading his Bible and
talking with Father Creden. his
spiritual advisor AT midnight the
warden read the death warrant to the
condemned man. The doomed man list
ened in an indifferent manner and made
no answer whatever at its close. He
was not visibly affected. A short time
afterwards he retired to awaken at &
this morning. Rev. Father j. B. Creden
was then at his side. After prayer
McIlvane partook of "a light breakfast
and appeared to be III good spirits and
showed no sign of weakening. He
entered the death chamber at II o'clock
with the priest. himself carrying before
him the crucitix and murmuring prayers.
Nine prominent medical men, reporters
from leading press associations and news
papers were i'll the chamber awaiting the
arrival of the victim of electrocution.
1t was decided by DIR. Landy and DR..
Warde of Albany to make slight
change i'll the plan of applying electric
current to the body. not that the former
plan was not success, but, by placing
the hands of the victim in cells or jars
containing solution of salt water and
making contact through the hands and
head, the action OF the heart would be
stopped much quicker.
The first contact was made in the
manner above described at 11:l3. The
duration of contact was forty five
seconds. A few seconds after the cur
rent was cut off by order of DR.. Nc
Donald, froth issued from the mouth
and almost simultaneously there was a
quick gurgling, exhalation and as quick
recovery, like a person strangling or Of
water going down the wrong way. The
current was at once reapplied to the
head and the calf of the right leg and
continued for forty-five seconds, after
which the subject was pronounced
dead.
AS compared with the Kemmler kill
ing, that of McIlvane was much less dis.
tressing.

CAPTAIN 'soHLEY WAS READY.
An Incident of the Chilean Trouble Not
Heretofore Made Public.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Am interesting
incident III connection with the Chilean
difficulty has not before been made
public.
After the attack on the sailors of the
Baltimore, excitement ran high in Val
paraiso, as will be remembered. Rumors
were thick and frequent here that the
Chlleans intended to attack the Balti-
more. The naval demonstrations on
their part were very threatening, and of
such character that Captain Schley
felt impelled to put his ship in order for
not hight If 1t was forced upon him.
According to the reports. combined at
tack was to DO made upon the Baltimore
by the Chilean cruisers, the Esmeralda
and Almirante Cochran and the torpedo
vessels. The idea of the Chileans was
that with their force they could make a
complete wreck of the Baltimore in a
very short time. Captain Schley did not
think so. At any rate, he was ready to
give them warm reception. On either
side of the Baltimore, and between the
range OF her guns and the Chilean cruis-
ViS' idy Jue OtIIDd1l lIldn-OI-Waf lIelu-
sig and the English man-of-war Mel
pomene. Captain Schley had determined
in the case of an attack, to let the tor
pedo boats go in the beginning and
direct his attention to the work of dis
abling the cruisers. But he wanted to
have them in the line of his guns. Get
ting in his gig he first boarded the Ger
man man-of-war and stated his views
and wishes to her commander. The
German captain promptly said he would
get out of the way at once and give the
Baltimore fair show. Captain Schley
then went to the Melpomene. Her cap
tain did not show the spirit of accommo-
datlon of the German. He said his ship
was in very good anchorage. and he did
not see why he should move. After
some further conversation he consented
to comply with the request of Captain
Sclley, and said that he, too, would get
out of the way. As it happened the
Chileans either abandoned their inten-
ton to attack, or never entertained it.
Otherwise there would doubtless have
occurred one of the most remarkable
naval engagements of history.
