CARLYLE Harris EIegtrOcufed,

Carlyle Harris. convicted of the murder of
his child wife by giving her morphine, was
electrocuted at Sing Sing Prison, New York,
May 8. The case has created considerable
attention throughout the country on account
of the understanding of the accused. When
seated in the death chair his last words were
that he was innocent of the murder. He met
Holen Potts at Ocean Grove, N. J., in the Sum-
mer of 1885, and strong friendship was i'm
mediately formed between the two. They
were secretly married in February of the next
year. and the marriage was not known until
Helen was in very delicate condition. They
were married by a minister publicly to satisfy
the girls mother. Helen, who was 10 years of
age, was sent to boarding school, and on Jan.
20, 1891, Harris got prescription of six cap
sules, each to contain one-sixth of a grain of
morphine and four and one-half grains of qni-
nine. He kept two of these and gave her the
rest telling her to take one every night. The
State evidence showed that Harris kept three
pills and substituted one containing enough
morphine to kill his wife. The evidence, how
ever, was purely circumstantal, and on the
strength of this he was electrocuted.

for 500 settlers each with 100 acres and am
willing to have any comrade come into our
party on our terms. We shall have a little
colony soon on the edge of the Strip. We shall
have barracks built, and everything made COM
Portable for the members of the party, and
there we shall wait for the opening day"
"Are all the comrades going to make the
rush? ?"
Yes that is the understanding Then we
shall be all together to help each other and
keep land from being taken from Us. That is
really the only way. As veterans we shall
have agents stationed in the land offices in
the neighborhood. and when the hands of the
clock point to the hour of opening we, on the
border of the Strip, will make the rush, and
eminent books"
"Well, then, why is It necessary for you to
enter upon the Strip yourself?"
For self-protectiOn. Suppose l were not to
make the run at all, but on the opening day,
as a veteran, | were to go into land office.
The time would be noted to minute, and my
claim for certain piece of land entered. Per-
haps after awhile in wOuld come man who
was not a veteran, but had made the run, and
had selected my piece of land. Now, this
man might say he WAS on the land at IL time
five minutes earlier than that at which | en-
tered my claim. 1t would probably be very
easy for that man TO prove what he said. The
result would be 10 TO one that would be beaten
out of my land. Of course, the man really
personally might have entered upon the land
five minutes before l did, in which case
would be fairly beaten, simply because l had
not made my claim at the land office soon

Creeks Seminoles and Cherokees were made
practically independent nations, being allowed
to pass their own laws and exercise Govern
ment of their own, with the understanding
that those laws and that Government should
be in harmony with the Constitution of the
United States. The treaties with these tribes
provided also that their Territory should not be
placed under the jurisdiction of any other
State or Territorial Government.
The lands on which the Shawnees and
Arapahoes were subsequently placed were COM
prised within the Indian Territory, the title of
Chickasaws and Choctaws held in equity. So
that when the lands in the present Oklahoma
were thrown open these Indians had been COM
pensated for them.
AS to the Cherokee Strip, it was called an
outlet for the purpose of giving the Cherokees
opportunity to pass over into the United
States, and the question of whether the Cher0-
KEGS ever had title in fee simple to these
lands. amounting to about 5000, 600 acres, has
now been finally settled by the terms of the
provisions of the act of March 3, 1893, by which
they pass whatever title they claimed for the
sum of $6,59573612.
very serious question is now being pre-
sented as to whether the policy of thus Great
ing an imperium in imperO was the wisest
one, for the reason that these civilized tribes
are not citizens of the United States and yet
practically exercise all the functions of citizen
ship within the limits of their own bailiwicks.
The United States however, maintains its own
postoifices and postroads. provides courts and
exercises a general Federal jurisdiction.

The Converting of Congress.

President Cleveland, since his return from
Chicago, has talked with the members of his
Cabinet, and other public men, as to an extra
session of Congress, and has determined, it was
understood to-day, not to call an extra session
before September. He appreciates all the
arguments that have been advanced from
different quarters f7r calling Congress here
before that time, but he believes that neither
the repeal of the Sherman act, nor any other
reform, will be fastened by calling an extra
session before September. By that time the
legislation deemed necessary can be formulated,
and the sentiment among members of Congress
in favor of it crystalized so that there need be
no undue delay.
When Congress does meet, on or about the
18th of September, it is the expectation of the
Administration and the leaders in Congress
that it will remain in session continuously until
juno or July. excepting during the customary
holiday recess. There is no foundation for the
report that after the organ ization of the House
a long recess will be taken

The Siamese have assumed the offensive
against the French on the Anam frontier. 1t
is stated that 1900 Siamese have been sent to
the Mckong Valley, and that the French Con-
sui declares the French position to be unten-
able. 1t is alleged that the Siamese Govern
ment has ordered warships in England, in
which country it Is trying to negotiate a loan.
II is further said that Siam has applied to Aus
tria for 10000 Mannlicher rifles
In commenting upon this news from Siam
Paris paper insiuuates that Great Britain is
supporting Siam in its warfare against the
French. Siam lies between Burmab, belonging
TO the English, aud Anam, belonging to France,
and has recently gained increased political i'm
rortance owing TO its geographical position.
The French have been disputing with the
6iamese for the past I3 months regarding

The German Army Bill Defeated.

The Reichstag defeated the German army
bill on May by 2l0 to 162 vote, the result
being great surprise to the Government. The
Social Democratic members of the Rechstag
were jubiant over the result, and their hur-
raining and cheering created great confusion in
the House. On account of its failure to pass
the bill the Reichstag was dissolved. and new
one will be formed on June Is or any time
within so days. Chancellor Caprivi sent his
resignation to the Emperor at Potsdam, and
his successor is slated as being Count Botho
Won Gutenberg. The Government is deter
mined to have the army bill passed if two or
three Reichstags have TO be sacrificed. German
constitutonaism is too weak to stand a conflict
with the Government in military matters. In
the coming elections, however, the army bill
will play only a secondary part The war cries
of the enemies of Liberalism will be anti
Semitism and protection.

A Serious Matter.

The serious aspect of the revolution in Mica

sidered by Secretary Gresham, and if the revo-

imminent. be will request Secretary Herbert
to send of his ships to the scene OF the

No information has been received at the
State Department concerning the uprising since

Newspaper accounts have, however shown the
Administration that the affair is OF no mean
dimensions.

In the armor plate finishing department of
the Bethlehem Ordnance Works there stands a
fine specimen OF defensive construction in the
aft barbette of the stee-armored battle-ship

States Navy yard at Brooklyn.
The Maine will be 6,64S tons displacement.
carry IL inches of armor on her barbettes eight
inches on her turrets and IL inches on her
sides. all of which is being manufactured here
The part most nearly completed is the aft bar
bette. Tho barbette is innovation in size
and shape beside being the largest ever made
plane composed of fat plates intersects
the cylinder and made it far more difficult to
construct than any turned out heretofore.
The barbette is III feet high, with an inside
diameter of % feet. four inches. As the armor
is II inches thick the outside diameter is 81
feet, four inches. The armor is of nickel steel,
and the circle of the barbette is composed of
nine plates, in addition to which there are two
plates to close up the cut-out of the ntersecting
plane.
The extra work was entailed so the guns
which the barbette will protect shall have
greater range and can be used with more telling
effect The total weight of the barbette is 2O3
tons. 1t was set up completed, as are all other
jobs, to demonstrate the preciseness of the
work.
The barbette has already been accepted by
the Naval Board. the test having been made at
Redington several months ago. On its inside
the barbet.e is brsting with the 27O 28-1O
bolts which will fasten it TO the ship. The
bolts will be fastened through eight inches of
wood and the threads extend two and one. half
inches into armOr.
The barbette, which is entirely completed,
will be taken apart in day or two and shipped
to the Brooklyn Navy-yard. where it will be
placed on the Maine. Shortly after this the
forward barbette, the counterpart of this, only
hot 10 al
within SO inches of the top, will be set up and
fitted.
