EXECUTION POSTPONED.
President Cleveland Has Respited
Murderer st. Clair.

United States Marshal Baldwin
yesterday received from President
Cleveland a respite for Thomas st.
Clair. the murderer of Mate Maurice
FITZGERALD of the bark Hesper, which
will stay the execution of the death
sentence until Friday, November z,
says the S. T. Chronicle of Sept. 4.
st. Clair was sentenced by United
States Judge McKenna to be hanged
on September 21st, and the arrange
ments for the execution had already
begun. 1t was at the request of
District Attorney Garter that the
preparations for the hanging have
ceased and the murderer granted
new, but probably brief lease of life.
With ST. Clair, his associates in
the crime, Hans Hansen and Herman
Sparf, were convicted and all three
were sentenced to death. An ap-
peal was taken in each case. In the
st. Clair case the United States
Supreme Court affirmed the judg-
ment Of the lower court. The other
cases have not been reviewed. 1t
was deemed advisable by MIR. Garter
and the Attorney General to post
pone the execution of st. Clair so as
to avoid the expense of separate
executions, it being expected that the
court will have passed upon the
other cases before the date now fixed
for the death of ST. Clair.
SAN JOSE, Sept. 3.-Thomas st.
Clair was in very hopeful frame OF
mind today, on account of the extern
sion of his lease of life by President
Cleveland. "Well, that's good news"
SAID st. Clair to reporter. 'Some
good people must have been working
| for me. I am feeling as fine in body
as ever before in my life, and if given
a chance Will live to be 80 years old D
did this news give you much
hope?" was asked.
ut most certainly does, for 1t
shows that somebody Is thinking
about my case. But, of course, l
don't see as will be bettered much
| 1t is too late for me to secure another
trial, and about the only thing that
can be done for me is to commute
my sentence. If 1 thought should
have to spend all my days in 6
penitentiary I would just as soor
have it ended now.
"Here IS the way L look at TINS
thing" he explained. eff there ii
anything 1 despise is murderer
ANY man who murdered Mate Fitz
gerald ought to be hung and 1 would
be one to help do it. If / murdered
him l ought to hang, but declare
did not. I can only hope now tina
something in my favor will turn UP
have felt right along that this sen.
tence would not be carried out"

Successful experiments have been
made in raising bamboo i'll Florida.
There are several patches near Fort
Myers, and the plants are all growing
rapidly, sometimes as much as foot
in a single night. The Importance of
this new industry cannot be Overesti-
mated. For the building of light sum-
mer houses, or for certain classes of
furniture, bamboo cannot be surpas-
sed. Road vehicles can be made out
of it and many other things, too num-
erous to mention. Clothing can be
made from its fibre, as can paper, and
a portion of it is most excellent as
food. 1t is the only plant known that
furnishes shelter, clothing and susten-
ance to mankind, and its Introduction
here will be of great public benefit.

LAYING AN OCEAN CABLE.
An Attempt to Overcome the Indu,
ence of a Trolley Current.

New YORK, Sept. 2.-The first
ocean cable ever laid in New York
bay was put under water this morn
ing and tied to the uptown side of
the pier at noon. The cable belongs
to the Commercial Cable Company,
and the American end of it hitherto
came ashore at Coney island and ran
thence overland across the bridge
and into the Office at Broad street.
But the trolley road, with its high
potential current, interfered with the
working of the feeble current and
that is why the cable was laid in the
channel.
The current, which comes from
Cape Canso. Nova Scotia, is so weak
that it is just able to wiggle tiny
glass siphon, which feeds ink on
strip of paper on which the message
is received. 1t should be explained
that when the siphon writes a
straight line it means nothing, but so
many waves up and SO many waves
down mean such and such letters. 1t
is like a wig-wagging signal code,
except that there are no spaced let
| tiers. and the code is thus different
from the Morse code. Electric dis
| turbances from the trolley current
cause up and down wiggles which
mean nothing and confuse the
| receiver
A four mile stretch of cable from
the Oriental Hotel had been laid by
the tug Strsnaham on Saturday and
the end of that piece which lay of
| Norton's point was marked by a
| lorov Early this MORNING this was
picked up and spliced to the cable in
the tank of the steamer Mackay--
Bennett. This cable will be spliced
to the water cable in day or two,
and after that it is hoped that there
will be no more inconsequentlal
wiggles in transoceanic messages
such as that induced by the currents
on the trolley lines.

Protect the Sheep.

Wool is a national staple, rs indis-
pensible to American independence as
wheat or iron or coal. At least 1000
600 American farmers are sheep own
ers. Every one of these men have been
made poorer by the Cleveland warfare
on wool. Every one of them will be
compelled to witness the virtual con.
hscation of his flock if the Wilson bill
Is enacted. In singing out the wool
industry for destruction, while afford
ing protection to Southern iron, coal
and sugar, the Confederate brigadiers
have deliberately declared war upon
the farms of the North and West. The
men who represent the farms, the fac.
tories and the homes of the North and
West in Congress; the men who stand
for the industry, the thrift and the in.
telligence which have made the great
region north of Mason and Dixson's
line free, enlightened and prosperous;
the men whom the people of these COM
m%onwealtbs have elected as their legis-
lators and honored with their trust
should meet the Wilson iniquity with
uncompromising resistance and main
tain the Mckinley law with protection
for the whole nation. The death of
the Wilson bill would increase the
value of American focks by 80 per
cent, start factory wheels to revolving
at wonted speed and expel poverty,
that alien and hateful visitor, from
the homes whose peace it has destroyed.
The people have commanded their rep
resentatives to kill the infamous meas
ure. Obey the command.-Fort Wayne,

How SpongeS are Gathered.

Upon reaching the sponging ground
the vessel is left in charge of the cook,
while captain and crew enter the small
boats, or "dingeys," and prepare for
work. The vessel is not anchored, but
kept under just sufficient sail to follow
the dingeys. Thelight weather, during
which, only, sponging can be prescott.
ed, make this prudent. In each dingey
are two men, a ''sculler and q 'hooker."
The s%culler, standing in the stern, pro-
pels the boat gently with his fourteen
foot oar, being careful not to disturb
the water; the hooker, leaning over
the side, studies the bottom through O
crude. but ingenious, implement called
the water glass;" which is simply q
cedar bucket with a glass bottom. This
is pushed below the surface, to avoid
the ripples which distort or obscure OBJ.
Jects upon the bottom. With water
glass" an experienced sponger can not
only see distinctly, but a distinguish
the different varieties and values of
the sponges growing fifty feet below,
though the ordinary depth is twenty to
thirty. Asthe boat slides gently along,
the hooker, with his head in his bucket,
utters 8 word; the sculler's oar is
brought f1atwise to the course of the
boat, and the little craft stops dead.
AT the same moment the hooker grasps
his long handled, three tined hook, and,
without lifting his head from the glass,
shoots the slender tool swiftly, and
with the unerring aim of an Indian
salmon catcher, into the depths below.
With a quick twist the hook is with
drawn holding upon its tines a round,
black, dripping object, which is thrown
into the bottom of the boat if, after in.
spection, it is approved; if not, it is
tossed overheard again. Then the soul.
ling and the water glass" practice are
resumed.
The sponge-forof course the anoma.
lous black object is a sponge-thus torn
from its rock always leaves some frag-
ments still attached. These fragments
serve as the foundation of another
sponge, which will have grown to gath
ering dimensions in two OF three years.

Blue Frogs I'm the Riviera.

A resident Of the Riviera writes re-
garding the blue frogs of that region,
about which the newspapers have been
publishing somewhat exaggerated sto-
ries. For many years frogs of a gray.
ish blue tint have been found in vari-
GUS parts Of tho Mentone district, and
sometimes one of the usual green frogs
if found to have blush spots OF limbs.
Visitors have been anxious TO see these
frogs, and in consequence a potter has
contrived to have one or two animals
on show. Last winter he had one for
which he asked 200 francs, as some one
seemed anxious for it; on former occa-
sions he has sold a blue frog for 100
francs. The man can not explain the
cause of this special celebration, and
feeds his frogs with ordinary house
flies. The change in color does not
seem to be due to any skin affection;
and the celebration, whether entire or
partial, does not seem to be modified
by time. The correspondent believes
that the statement that these frogs are
fed with fire flies are erroneous.

BREVTTIES.

The Republican party solved the
sugar problem by abolishing the duty
and thus ~lessening the cost of living in
every household.
Quite a number Of tidal wave Con-

In point of population we are near

Probably the disturbance at Andrew
Jackson 5 grave was the old hero turn

The Republicans of the different

sent as strong n contrast as possible

Texas is the only State, it will be no.
ticed, in which there is any struggle
over a Democratic nomination for Con-
gress this year.
China seems to be losing soldiers in
her fighting with japan about as fast
az the Democratic party is losing votes
in its monkeying with the tariff.
1t is likely that the Democrats will
finally pass some kind of a tariff bill;
but it is not at all likely that it will do
them any good in the way of changing
the general conclusion that they are
incapable of dealing sensibly with any
great question.
The question in the Alabama election
is not one of votes, but Of counting,
and the Democrats have the advantage
in such a test by reason of their long
experience.
The man who gets his name linked
with a motion for a sine die adjourn
ment of the present Congress will stand
better with the country than any other
member of that body.
1t will be observed that whenever the
Democrats have a conference ON an
appropriation bill, they settle their diff.
f~erences in such a way as to increase
the aggregate figures.
