The Convict Murderer Is Executed in the
Auburn Prison.
AUBURN, n. V, Nov. 15.-At the state
prison yesterday morning, in the pres
ence of the usual number of witnesses,
John Johnson, a convicted murderer,
paid the penalty of a double murder.
johnson passed fairly comforta BILE
night and was in good mood when
the prison chaplain came to give him
the last consolation of the church He
has been all along entirely careless of
his fate, and he even asked the warden
why he did not hurry up the affair.
There was no movement or indica-
ton of life from the instant the cur
rent was applied and it was one of the
most successful executions ever held.
The body was removed to the autopsy
room and the usual autopsy required
by law was made There were no un-
usual results discernable.
One day last April, working in the
broom shop in the prison, johnson be-
came unruly and when reprimanded by
keeper he grasped a cutting knife
and ran amuck. He succeeded in kill
ing two men, both of whom were con.
victs, aud severely wounding three
others. His case was taken to the up
per courts and he was, of course, con.
victed.

Russia is to replace her uncovered

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-There is an
entire dearth of real news from Hawaii,
or about Hawaiian matters The spec
ulation as to what has been occurring
there in the week past, however, is by
no means abated Nearly every one has
taken one side or the other, and is
either an earnest wisher for the prompt
success of the effort to restore Queen
Liliuokalani, or is vainly hopeful that
something may intervene to balk the
purpose announced by his government.
The fear of the friends of the present
government is that Minister Willis will
push President Dole to an immedia e
decision and demand prompt surrender
of all his authority on the ground the
provisional government itself put a
limit upon the duration of its own au-
thority and that the limit expires when
Minister Willis announces to him there
is no possible chance of annexation.
1t is fact that for several months
past the provisional government has
recognized there was no hope of Sc
curing annexation to the United States
dHl nave Ieit luIi tuc oOiiSdt upoh
them under those circumstances of
providing permanent form of govern
ment for the islands The form of the
proposed government has been dis
cussed and it has been proposed to call
it commonwealth.
1t is expected that President Dole
will advance these facts as arguments
against the contention of Minister
Willis that his government-the gov
ernment to which Willis is accredited
has expired by it's own limitation.
| Should Minister Willis decline to rec
ognize the validity of this argu'
| ment, and President Dole determined
| to follow the contention SO
far as lay in his power, his next
| step is expected to be formally notify
ing the United States minister he would
not yield without the employment OF
force, and that he would regard the
landing of troops from the men-of-wal
to enforce his deposition as an act O.
| war.

of female Celestial named Ah Gong,
who made her home in lhe heart Of
Victoria. All Gong, who is the wife Of
a canneryman now working on Skeena

absence from the city and managed
to save up 500, with which she made
good her escape. On Monday evening
she chartered one of Captain Dan Nc
Intosh's small steam launches to take
her out to the Empress of India when
the ship arrived here from Vancouver,
but having been detained, she did not
leave here until morning. Her escape
was successfully made through the as

derstood, saw her safe on board the
Empress with ticket for the Flowery
Kingdom. Why she deserted her hus-
band is not known, but 1t it supposed

political prisoner of the English govern

a cottage surrounded by beautiful
grounds on the outskirts of the city.
Here he lived quietly with some few
Egyptian servants. Many travellers pass
ing through Ceylon call on Arab, al
though 1t appears to be in questionable
taste, and l am sure the Egyptian gen.
eral is bored to death, although he is too
much of a gentleman to say so.
/ found him portly Arab of about 50.
His demeanor was pleasant, though
tinged with WEAKNESS that he could
not disguise. He conversed huently in
French and spoke but little English with
considerable hesitation. He said that he
tried to make life as agreeable as posi-
BILE in view of all the circumstances, but
that of course he pined for liberty. He
hoped eventually he would get it. He
did not care to talk international poll
tics. i was not presented to Mrs. Arab.

Strange Judsnnenta.

Chief among the curiosities of htera-
ture must be accounted the strange
judgments of men who would be sup
posed to have an appreciation of what is
best upon the works of others. 1t was
no less a person than Goldsmith who
observed of the poems of Milton that
''they betray a narrowness Of education
and degeneracy of habit, adding to
this extraordinary dictum the still more
audacious assertion that ''there is no
force in his reasonings, no eloquence in
his style and no taste In his compost
tion." Waller, an ant hill poet compared
to the soaring loftiness of Milton, yet
presumably a man who could reason,
said of paradise Lost" that if its length
be not considered as merit it has no
other. Hume deemed Shakespeare "a
disproportioned, misshapen giant, while
George III, who ought to have known
better, and yet, all things considered.
could hardly have been expected to think
otherwise, sapiently asked. "Was there
ever such stuff as the greater part Of
Shakespeare Bazaar.
