To be Made by Authority of Governor
Flower. with view to Ascsrtatning
whether EIectroeuJIon Really Kills.
ALBANY, n. Y, November 11.-Gov-
ernor Flower is willing 10 allow experts
90 make a test, 90 ascertain whether
man killed 10 an electrical chair can be
resuscItated. To the Associated Press
representative tonight he made this
statement, when his attention was
called 20 the printed allegations that
certain physicians would ask for such
permission:
81 am perfectly willing to allow the
experiment 10 be made II u is 10 my
power under the law. l think 10 WOald
be a good thing TO have this long stand
ing controversy settled al once and for
ever.
Ever since the adoption OF the cleo
trical execution act Ov the State, the
Westinghouse people, whose dynamos
are used, have declared that electricity
was not the cause OF death, but that
death was assured by the holding OF an
autopsy directly after the body had
been taken from the electrical chair.
No less an authority than Nicola Testa,
the famous electrician, contended that
be could bring back TO lie
man killed ia an electrical
chair, provided the attempt was
made Immediately after execu-
tiOn. Mr. George Westlng house has al
ways asserted that electrical death was
a sham aud that a New York commits
sion, headed by EIbridge I. Gerry, had
added the autopsy clause 10 the law, so
as 70 make it certain that the man was
dead. Within the last few weeks the
agitation OF the subject has again be-
come prominent and an appeal Is to be
made 10 the Governor to allow the
next man condemned TO be used
as a subject 20 be experimental on.
The Governor saws be will grant per-
mission TO DO this. The attempt, il
made, will undoubtedly create great ex-
citement aud intense interest in the
scientific world. Ii will also arouse
curiosity among laymen because if sue
cessful it will bring TO life new man
who cannot be executed, having once
suffered the penalty Of death. IL will
also prove that the State eXecutioners
have been the surgeons who have held
the autopsy rather than the State cleo
triClan.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. November IL
Senator PETER has arrived from Kan
sas, Discussing the result OF the recent
election be said the Populls;s had 40
reason to feel discouraged.
What we have lost in congressman, !"
he said, 1--WE have more tnan made up
in votes. The reports generally pub
lished would lead people to suppose that
we had suffered material loss In all
respects in Kansas. Such is not the
case. In 1890 we had about 10000
votes in that State; In 1892 about
$4,000. and in the late election
from 10000 to 1880 In
the face Of the fact that
about Sc, 900 OF our voters had left the
State on account of the drouth. We
failed in the election of officers because
we were not paired with the Democrats,
but we have every reason 10 feel en-
couraged Tor the future. In the coun-
try at large feel confident that when
the returns are footed up they will show
our total vote TO be little less than two
millions, which is about twice the Pop
ulst vote of two years ago"
Asked if he believed Governor Till
man would corporate with the Popu-
lists if he should be elected to the Sen
ate, Mr.. PETER replied that he could not
say, as Governor Tillman had never out
lined his intentions In that respect.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, was less
guarded than Senator PETER 10 speak
ing of the assumption that certain
Populist Senators would aid the Repuo-
icans in the organization of the Senate.
He says emphatically that so far as he
is concerned, he will not entersinto a
coalition with either OF the old parties
TO secure the organization.
The Senator says that he thinks the
Populists will be able 10 exercise more
potent influence by keeping entirely
aloof from than by entering int en-
tanging alliances with either Of the old
parties, aud it is his opinion that this Is
the policy which will be pursued by the
third party In the Senate, and that he
will advise that this policy be pursued.
