KILLED IN PRISON.
John Johnson Put to Death by Electric
ity in Auburn ~Penitentiary.

AUBURN. n. Y, Nov. 14.-At the State
prison, this morning, in the presence of the
usual number Of witnesses, John Johnson,
a convicted murderer. paid the penalty of
a double crime. johnson passed a fairly
comfortable night, and was in a good mood
early 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 Indication OF life from
the instant the current was applied, and it
was one of the most successful executions
ever held. The body was removed 10 the
autopsy room and the usual autopsy re-
ouired by law was made. There were no
unusual results observable.
One day last April, while working in the
broom shop in the prison, Johnson became
unruly, and, when reprimanded by a keep
err, grabbed a cutting knife and ran arnuck.
He succeeded in killing two men, both of
whom were ~convictS, and severely wounded
three others. His case was taken up to the
upper courts, and he was, of course, con-
yictel.

RAILWAYS IN POLITICS.
Chicago Lines Said to Be Taking a Hand
in the Fight for Mayor.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14-It is gossip that the
railroads are taking an active part in the
contest for the office made vacant by the
assassination of Mayor Harrison. The COM
panies are alleged to have raised a large
campaign fund, with q view Of resisting
the election of any man pledged to support
the track elevation movement. The ques-
ton of elevating railroad tracks in the
city is unusually prominent now, because
Of the circumstances attending the death
of Mayor Harrison, he having maintained
a policy apparently in opposition TO the
movement, and Prendergast, the murderer,
giving this as his motive for killing the
Mayor.
Attorney Trude. who is prominently men
toned as q Democratic candidate for
Mayor, is reported to-day as preparing an
article presenting a theory as to Prender-
CASTS responsibility for his act when he
asSassinated Carter Harrison. hfr. Trlde's
theory is that Prendergast was sane when
he committed the deed. The cleverness with
which Prendergast sought TO insure his
own safety after the deed was committed
is related as probable proof of his appre-
citation of what he was doing.

EUROPE'S NIGHTMARE
Anarchism Troubling England as
Well as the Continent.
Gladstone Denounced in the Commons
for Permitting a Meeting of the Reds
The Spanish AgitatOrs.

LONDON, Nov. was an ex-
citing. discussion Of anarchy and the rights
OF Englishmen to assemble and MINER
crate theSdeath of the Chicago Anarchists,
IN the House of Commons this afternoon.
The discussion was one Of the most lively
witnessed in the Hous for a long time
past. and it led to the Gladstone govern
ment being roundly denounced for permit
ting such demonstrations.
The excitement commenced when the
Right Hon. Henry Asquith, Secretary of
State for Home Affairs, replying TO a
question put by Mr.. Curtis Darling, de-
clared hat 1t was inconsistent with public
interest to give an opinion as to whether
the Anarchists now active on the CONT
nent were or were not known to be con-
nected with the Anarchists Of Great Brit
ain.
Mr.. Darling, soon after his first ques-
ton TO the government, rose and moved
TO adjourn in order to call attention to
the use of Trafalgar square as a meeting
place for Anarchists, who openly gloried in
the outrages at Chicago and Barcelona
Mr.. Darling, who is a ~ell-know author
and writer, as we'll as a clever lawyer,
during the course Of his remarks said that
il was the duty OF Mr.. Asquith, as Home
Secretary, to have satisfied himself as to
the objects of the meeting at Trafalgar
square before permitting it to take place.
The object of this gathering of English
Anarchists, said Mr.. Darling. was plainly
announced in the newspapers some days
ahead, and was: ITO commemorate the
so-called Anarchist martyrs Of Chicago
and PERSONS of the same class who engaged
in similar outragee. With similar offsets
In view, at Barcelona"
The Hon. Arthur j. Balfour, the Con-
sentative leader in the House of Commons,
supported Mr.. Darling's motion in a speech.
during which he strongly censured the gov
ernment. for permitting the Anarchist meet
ing at Trafalgar square, in view or the
fact that the Anarchists aimed at the abb
solUte destruction OF existing society, and
from the fact that the meeting, accord
ing to Mr.. BalfOur, was clearly and dis
tinctly a breach of the law.
Mr.. John Burns. the labor leader. de-
Tended the Trafalgar square meeting as
being a protest against the action OF the
Chicago police.
Home Secretary Asquith, replying to the
attack OF MI. Darling, said the latter had
given the Anarchists a gratuitous adver-
tisement, as the meeting on Trafalgar
squarI was insignificant and not Illegal,
and was regarded as a safety valve to feel
ings which were only DANGEROUS when not
suppressed or watched. A motion to adj
jOurn In order to call attention 10 the use
of Trafalgar square for the meetings was
negatived without division.
