BERLIN, May s.-The North German
Gaattc expresses the belief that the
coming elections will repair the attack
on tho prestige OF Germany made by
the vote In the Reichstag against the
army bill. Tho people will surely ro-
cognize that the completion Of tho de-
fonses Of the country is necessary to its
continued existence.
The National Zcit,tng says that tho
Reichstag Just dissolved was tho worst
parliament since the foundation Of tho
ompirp, and should tho electors Rivo In
to tho triumyirato composed Of Bobol,
Richterand Lieber, the ruin Of Germany
would bo effected, peace menaCed, and
the achievement OF tho years 1866 and
1870 would bO destroyed.

LONDON, May Sin the house OF
commons to-day Prime Minister Glad
stone stated in reply to the Right Hon,
Joseph Chamberlain that he would
propose that tho ninth clause OF the
Irish home rule bill should be retained
without alteration, This clause pro-
vides for the retention Of Irish MEM
bers in the imperial parliament The
speaker ruled that thu instructions 10
the committee on the home rulo bill
offered by Lord Randolph Churchill
and the others with view of defeating
the bill were out ot order
The house then went into committee
cf the whole on the home rule bill. The
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain moved
to postpone the clause OF the bill which
simply provides that on and after the
appointed day there should be legls-
lature in Ireland. Mr.. Chamberlain
said it was his intention 70 move the
postponement OF every clause up to
clause nine in order to begin the dis
custom OF the bill with the most i'm
portant propriety. The house, he said,
had a right TO know whether the gov
ernment meant 10 adhere to the main
points OF the bill; otherwise the house
might at any time find u now bill
sprung upon them.
Mr.. Gladstone replied thathe declined
to allow Mr.. Chamberlain to reserve to
himself the privilege to challenge
clauses out Of their order. The bill was
before the house in particular form
and the government alone had right
to indicate variations from that form.
]. w. Lowther and another unionist
continued to talk in strain similar to
that OF their leaders, while the Irish
nationNlists cried divide"
Chairman Mellor put IN end to the
squabble by calling the disputants to
order, and Mr.. Chamberlain's amend-
ment was rejected by vote OF 270to
2l3.
Charles J. Darling, Conservative, pro-
posed to amend clause enc by reailirln.
ing the supremacy OF parliament III To-
cal as well imperial matters.
To shorten the debate the Irish mem
bers abstained from speaking on Mr..
Darling's amendment, although the
Conservative speakers taunted them
with exceptional malignity for the pur-
pose OF involving them in discussion.
After six hours had been talked away
Mr.. Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
moved the closure. His motion evoked
opposition yells and cries.
The closure was carried by vote Of
243 to 105.
The amendment was lost by vote Of
2s5 to 2SS.
Lord Randolph Churchill moved that
the chairman OF the committee report
progress. 1t was hopeless he said to
get fair play as the business Of the COM
mittee was being conducted.
Mr.. Gladstone resisted the motion,
remarking that he was not the author
of the closure rule. After an acrimon-
ious debate the motion to report pro-
gress was rejected by vote Of 302 to
265.
Mr.. Balfour moved that the chairman
leave tho chair.
The motion was resisted by Mr..
Gladstone and was lost by vote of 304
to 257.
The discussion dragged uneventfully
to the adjournment at midnight

ALL IN READINESS
The witnesses were all assembled in
the warden'a office at II o'clock, There
were 81 OF them, Seven were physici-
ans and ten were newspaper men, The
others were state officials and friends OF
the warden. II was 1916 y, N, when
Warden Durston announced that every
thing was in readiness and invited the
witnesses down stairs. The witnesses
entered and seated themselves on
wooden stools arranged in a half circle
at tho west end Of the room and facing
the chair. Warden Durston accom'
panied by DR.. Irvine, Head Keeper
Connaughton and four guards preceded
the witnesses. While they seated them
selves Electrician Davis attached the
wires to the battery OF lamps and turned
on ], ,760 volts. He finished testing the
apparatus at 1885 and announced that
all was ready. Connaughton and two
guards then went for Harris, He was
awaiting the final summons IN his cell,
With him were Chaplain Wells. Harris
was ready in q moment and the little
procession was quickly formed. Screens
had been placed in front OF the other
cells. so that the men who will soon
meet Harris fate did not sec him as he
went out with 4 guard on either side
and the faithful chaplain following
him.

FACING DEATH.

Helookod slight and pale as he step
pod into the room. Ho paused an ln-
stant on the Threshold and looked
calmly over the assembled witnesses.
Kind hearted Warden Durston had
stepped over to the reporters and asked
them to conceal their pads, saying,
"Harris might not like It" The pads
were put out OF sight and Harris merely
looked over the people, scanning their
faces as his eyes swept around the
room. He walked entirely alone just
behind Connaughton and wayered for q
moment, more from not knowing which
way he was expected to go than from
weakness. Connaughton pointed TO
the chair aud without even a look OF
curiosity at the thing which was to end
his career, he dropped in the seat. AS
he did so, he began to talk in q low
voice, He said:
~ have word TO say ii the warden
will permit"
He paused and repeated; ~ would
like to say something ii l have the war
den's consent"
Warden Durston stepped to tho chair
and said:
"What did you wish to say?"
Harris then in weak voice, as though
each word cost him powerful effort,
said:
81 have no further reservation to
make. desire TO say that l am abso-
lutely innocent"
Those were his last works, After ut
tering them he seemed relieved and set.

already been strapped. State Detective
Jackson attached the electrode to Har-
ris' right leg, which wns barred TO the
knee, slit in the trousers having been
madein advance. Eaton placed the he'll
met containing the other olectrode on
the head. Electrician Davis attached
the wires to tho two electrodes. All OF
this work was done quicker than the
telling OF it ard then the guards step
ped buck. Davis, who had gone to the
switchboard, said; "All ready" There
was IN instant pause while every man
in the room held their breath. Then
Ralston raised his hand.

the straps creaked. 1t was Just l9:404
by the stop watch held by DR.. Merritt.
A current Of l,7B0 volts passed through
the body OF Carlyle Harris. In two
seconds Davis threw the switch back so
that only 150 volts were on. DR.. Daniels
still held his hand aloft and one finger
pointed above rs though to indicate
that the soul OF the man in the chair
had passed upward. Then his arm fell
and in just 553 seconds the current was
shut OF.
Doctors Irvine and Habershaw imme-
diately stepped forward and examined
the body, which had settled back limp
in the chair. DR.. Irvine opened the
coat and vest aud tore away the shirt
over tho heart. He applied the stetho-
scope, and, after listening for heart
beats, turned and shook his head. This
was two minutes after the first contact,
and DR.. Daniels then invited the other
physicians to stepforward and examine
the body.
Lifo was extinct and it was plain to
all who were present that death had
come at the first touch Of tho current.
The only sign Of animation after the
current was turned on was q slow move.
