ANARCHIST FRANCH EXECUTED.
The Barcelona Bcmt-ThrOw.r Dies Under the
Garrote.

Garrote
Jose Salvador Franch, the anarchist, who
threw the dynamite bomb at the Liceo inca
tre, Barcelona. Spain, on November I, loS9'
killing twenty persons and wounding fifty
others. was executed by the garrote. He dis
PLAYED the utmost bravado, shouted Down
with the religion" and died almost with the
words OF IN anarchist song upon his lips.
Franch spent the last twenty-four hours OF
his life in the blackdraped chapel OF the
prison. and his wife and little daughter were
admitted to see him in the chapel But their
te derness and sympathy were utterly thrown
awav upon the hardened criminal, who also
remained obdurate to the administrations OF
the priests who kept him company in the
chapel. He scoffed at their suppllcations 10
prepare himself for death and laughed de-
risively at their reference to future liie HIS
wife made last effort to soften his heart,
but he roughly told her to go away, and she
tearfully withdrew after kissing him.
To the priests he said. with contempt: IL

AS the anarchist mounted the steps leading
to the platform upon which was the garrote
he shouted: down with all religion! Viye

The executioners them seized him and as
he struggled and cried they forced him into
the chair at the back OF which was the gar
rote. Franch was then strapped down to
the seat, and as this was being performed he
renewed his anarchist cries and tried to sing
an anarchist hymn, but his false courage was
evidently fast giving away, for he stopped In
| the midst OF his death song to implore his
7 executoners to hurry their final preparations
for death. The trembling prisoners neck
was then encircled by the fatal collar, the
screw was swiftly applied and dea h was al
most instantaneous.
The body Of Franch, with the collar OF the
garrote around his neck, remained exposed
until sundown.

Russian Iron Production.

consular report issued recently on the
iron industry of European Russia states
that during the past twelve years the out
put Of pig iron has more than doubled MS
ing from 460. 600 tons to 10000 tons,
and the combined output of wrought iron
and steel has risen from $4,000 tons to l.
600, 600 tons notable feature is the in
creased pace at which the production rises
during the closing years of this period,
marking the decisive expansion OF the
home industry at the expense of imports.
Thus, pig iron rose at the rate OF lo,OOO to
"a, 900 tons year up to 1886, after which
the yearly increase is as, 600 TO $4,000 tons
and from 1889 80 to III, 900 tons. Steel
fell after 1881, an abnormal year, owing to
the issue of great government orders for
steel rails; shows no advance from 1883,
but between 1ss9-92 rises from 2o3, ,OOO
tons to SIG 600 tons. Wrough iron is sta
tionary from 1Ss4ss, and rises constantly
up to 1892. A corresponding movement is
noticeable in imports of pig iron, which
from 1886 81 fell from 25S, 900 tons to SO,
| 900 tons, and of wrought iron, which rose
up to 1890, and from 1890 90 fell from 93,-
600 tons to 40, 500 tons. The import Of
steel rose up to 1890, and from 1890 81 fell
from 10000 tons to 1900 tons While
the gross production of steel rose from
1882 90 from 242, 900 tons to $1,000 tons
the manufacture of steel rails shows little
change Q53,O00 tons in 1882 to 1S2, 00C
tons in 1891 Nearly half the total weight
OF steel prepared in Russia is used in the
manufacture of steel rails.

The British Empire.

The British Empire is a political cres-
ton unparalleled in the worlds history,
not only by its extent and population, in
both which respects it is slightly surpass-
ed by China, but because, with an area OF
more than 10000, 900 square miles and
352. 900, 900 inhabitants, it is scattered over
the whole globe. 1t embarces all zones
from the icy wilderness of Hudson Bay to
the tropical jungles of India and the ma
hogany forests of Honduras; there is scarce
ly product which British province does
not bring forth in excellent quality, and
not less various are the degrees of civiliza-
ton of its inhabitants from the Kaffirs OF
the Cape to the highly cultivated citizens
of Toronto or Sydney. We find with
Christians of all confessions 2OO, 900, 900
Hndoos, about 10000, 900 Mohammedans
and 5000, 900 Buddhists, and the Bible is
printed in 130 languages and dialects re-
presented in the Empire, yet, notwith-
standing such promiscuous elements, the
government, with rare exceptions, main
tains order and no sign of dissolution is Vi
sible.-The Forum.

Autumn.

Gray Autumn! Tell US why thy glorious
gold
OF falling leaves, of fern, and ruddy
hues
OF brambles glist'ning in the morning
dews,
Should to our gaze and fantasies unfold.
Why should our souls, with Natures in
stincts rife,
Turn with sigh7 In dying, if we live,
Then should thy moaning winds and
shadows give
The prelude to the death that yields us
life
We see thee fading for thy winter sleep;
That cold white sleep that wraps thee in
its breath,
And, though we sing of all we gain by
death.
We listen to thy falling leaves-and weep.

The Treasury Department at Washing
on is preparing to spend between $50, 900,
and $4,000 to give the people of the
United States a more artistic paper cur
rency. OF course any estimate of the pos
sible cost of the changes in design of the
Treasury notes and certificates is neces-
sarily vague and unsatisfactory. And to a
billion-dollar country the amount to be
spent is small, if it were 5000, 900, consid-
ering the results to be attained. But the
great American public usually wants to
know of any public work just what it costs;
and as nearly as an estimate can be form
edat the present time, the reform inaugar-
ated under Secretary Carlisle by Chief
johnson, of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, will cost at least $50, 600 There
are thirty six designs to be changed event
