AT TWO O'CLOCK,
Sheriff Chapels Early Morning
Instructions to His Men.

Sheriff Chapel's Early Morning
Instructions to His Men.
At o'clock this morning Sheriff
Chapel made his arrangements more
specific. He called his principal assist
ants upon the scatfold and gave
them full instructions. He desig-
mated George II. Irish, his chief
deputy, and Deputy F. W. Kinney to
lead Ermisch to the scatfold first, to be
followed by Wonigkelt in charge of
Reuben Clewett, the present marshal of
White Bear, and tor many years
deputy in the sheritf's Office. and
Deputy John E. McCarron. He told them
that the prisoners were to be placed
on the traps with Ermisch to the east,
or to the side nearest the court house,
and Wonigkeit on the other trap.
Their legs were to be bound, their
hands to be bound behind them and
the black caps drawn over their faces.
The ropes were to be adjusted, and
when all was ready for the drop
the deputies on either side of the
two men were to steady them and let
them go as the lever would be pulled
back to spring the traps. AT this time
the ropes were readjusted so as to give
the men a longer drop than first con-
templated, the idea being to give them
six feet of drop. 1t was estimated that
the heads should disappear about foot
below the floor. The ropes were creased,
SO as to slip easily.
1t was then stated to the deputies
that the prisoners had waived the read
ing of the death warrant on the scatfOld,
so that there would be 10 delay when
the men were led to the place of exc
cution.
Charles P. Holcomb, clerk of the
supreme court. was present when the
arrangement of the ropes and scaffold
was made and gave such information
as he had learned from witnessing other
executions.
Horace 4. Bigelow, one of the attor-
neys for Ermisch, was selected by him
as one of the three whom he desired 10

Mr.. Bolt and MatrOn Akers At mid
night they asked for something to eat.
and at their request German pancake,
coffee and some ham sandwiches were
taken to them. Otto ate the pancake,
and Ermisch wanted the ham sand
wiches. Both ate heartily, and enjoyed
the meal. The lunch was served in
Otto's cell. where both boys sat down at
the same table. Mrs. Chapel. Matron

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Active negoti-
ations are proceeding both in the tariff
conference and in influential quarters
outside to bring about complete agree
ment on the tariff bill, and the predic-
ton is made that the end is near at
hand. 1t is denied with emphasis on
the house side that the senate sugar
schedule and the senate rate on iron
will prevail, and the house be compen-
sated by reciprocity clause on coal. It
is stated the sugar schedule will not be
that fixed by the senate, nor the free
sugar of the house bill, but middle
ground. Friends of the administration
say there is a good prospect that the
presidents insistence on free raw mate
rials will receive substantial recognition
and deny as impossible all reports that
any agreement has been the basis of ac-
cepting the senate rate on coal and iron.
The democratic conferees were together
again two hours today, and at the close
of the meeting the house members ex-
pressed the same confidence of a speedy
settlement that they had after the meet
ing yesterday. The senate conferees
can be induced to say but very little.
One said there are more indications of
reaching an understanding than there
hitherto has been.
