Paris, Oct. 29.-President Faure had an
interview with Premier Ribot at the pal
ace of the Elysee this morning, and con-
suited with NJ. Challemel-Lacour and NJ.
Brisson, respectively president of he
Senate and Chamber of Deputies, this af-
telSoon.
The Journal des Debats, the Dix Neu-
Vieme Seicle and other moderate papers,
deplore the fact that the Chamber of
Deputies did not accept the statement
OF the ministry regarding the southern
railway scandals instead of voting the
government down The result is, these
journals say, that the chamber has af-
tOrded the country a spectacle Of incOn-
sistency and recklessness, the conse-
quences of which 1t will probably be. the
first to regret.
The radical and social press are de-
lighted at the result. The conservative
papers declare that the ministry has fall
en- on question Of public morals, ma
jOrity of the Chamber of Deputies haV-
ing become eXasperated at seeing the
ministers always inclined 70 hush up
public scandals. journals of all shades
of opinion appreciate the dlmculty the
situation presents for the president and
the future cabinet.
President Faure spent the whole day in
consultation with leading politicians, IN
Guiding Gen. Zurlinden and MN; Lebon,
Poincarre and Leygues, of the Ribot min
istry. Problems Involved in the budget
were the chief matters of discussion. AT
ter the conference of the president with
NJ Challemel-Lacour and NJ. Brisson. it
was predicted by persons in positions en-
abling them to obtain the best informa-
ton that a tentative cabinet would be
formed with NJ. Bourgeois as premier and
minister of the interior; NJ. Peytral, min
lister of finance; NJ. Doumier, as minis
ter of commerce.; Gen. CaVaignac, as
minister of war; NJ. Besnard. as minister
of colonies; NJ. Guyot-Dessaigner, as min
ister of justice, and NJ. Doumergue, as
minister of public works.
In case of NJ. Bourgeois refusal to form
a ministry NM Constans Dupuy, Sarrien,
Loubet and -sIlsson are mentioned, though
NJ. Brisson's S refusal is virtually certain.

ElectrOcutfOn.

Dannemora, n. Y, Oct. "a double
execution under the law which provides
that murderers shall meet death by cleo
tricity was successfully carried out at
Clinton prison to-day, when George II.
Smith and Charles n. Davis. both of Al
bany county, met death in the electric
chair.
The first TO face death was Smith. who
walked bravely into the death chamber at
1928 a. m. He did not falter or show
the least emotion, but was quickly strapp-
cd into the chair and at "a signal from
DR.. Ransom, the current of electricity
was turned on, 1850 volts passing through
him. This voltage remained on for five
seconds when it was reduced and con
tnued for twenty seconds. Again il was
increased and allowed to remain for
hVe seconds and augain reduced, re-
manning for twenty seconds. When it was
turned or an examination was made by
the prison physicians and several other
meulcal men. smith was pronounced dead
at u4t a. m, just five minutes after ne
entered the chamber. The witnesses re-
turned to the ante-room while the body
was taken to the dissecting room.
AT 1855 O'Clock Davis was conducted to
the chamber of death He faltered slight
~ as he came in sight of the chair. but
1t was only for an instant. He was strapp-
ed into the chair and at 1857 o'clock a cur
rent of l,lSO volts passed through his body,
resulting in instantaneous death. The
hlSh voltage was continued for six sec
onds, reduced and kept on for thirty
seconds, then back to 1.7SO for FIVE
seconds, reduced and kept on for twenty
seconds, when 1t was finally turned Off.
II was Just l2:U p. m. when he was Off
clally pronounced dead. The entire time
consumed from the time Smith entered
the chamber until both were on the tables
ready Tor the autopsy by the physicians,
was twenty-five minutes.
The autopsy revealed nothing unusual
IN the makeup of either man.

CAN'T CONVICT POLICE.
The Indictments Against Three of
the Accused DInmInned.


New York. oct 29.-Justice Ingraham,
in the court OF oyer and termlner, to-
day dismissed the indictment against
former Police Captain Doherty and ex-
Police Sergeant McKenna. and also Capt.
John J. Donohue, now under suspension.
The indictments against Doherty and
McKenna rested on the complaint OF
Mrs. Augusta Thurow. the keeper a
house Of ill-repute. The indictments
against Capt. Donohue we're based on
the complaint Of farrell Flagg, Jr.. who
has been indicted for renting flats to
women of immoral character.
The formal motion to dismiss the in
dictments was made yesterday by Dis
trict Attorney Fellows who said he be-
lieved a conviction could not be had be-
cause the general term had ruled that
the testimony Of ex-dive keepers was
incompetent.
This probably ends the police cases
which grew out the Lexow investiga-
tlons. The trials thus far have cost the
city $4,000, and but two convictions have
been had-those OF Inspector McLaugh-
lin and Capt Stephenson. Neither of
these men have suffered much imprison-
ment and both are now free on bail
pending an appeal

CHINESE SAILORS MUTINY.
They Complain That They Are Not
Given Proper Food.


Raleigh. N. c., Oct 29.-At Wilmington
to-day ten Chinese fremen on the Brit
ish steamship Gloucester City, which is
loading with cotton at that port, mutt
MED refused to work and went ashore
despite the protests of the steamers Of
ficers. They made complaint regarding
the quality of their food, and aid they
intended to report their treatment to the
British vice consul. The ships officers
followed them and requested the police
authorities to arrest them, which was
done on the ground that by going ashore
the Cinnamon had violated the Chinese
exclusion act. They were then sent to
jail by the police; The United States
deputy marshal then took them from
jail and before the United States com
missioner where they were charged with
violating the exclusion act. Only one
could speak English and he showed a
rock and said they were not given their
regular allowance of rice and were given
only this kind of salt (showing. the rocD
for seasoning. He also said they were
beaten on the Gloucester City. They
were returned to jail for violating the
exclusion act, but will be turned over to
the ship when she is ready to sail.

TROOPS LEAVE TIFFIN.
The Funerals of the Men Killed by
the Militia Pass on Quietly.

Tifin, o., Oct. 29.-The situation has
quieted down and the militia will be
withdrawn. The Clyde and two Canton
companies left this forenoon and the
Fostoria company will leave tomorrow
morning, at which time it is probable
the home company will also return to its
armory The funerals of Matse and
Mutchler were held to-day and attracted
but little attention and it is believed
that the mob has succumbed to calm
ness and that no further trouble need
be anticipated.
The special grand jury. empanelled to
investigate the murder of City Marshal
Shultz, commenced its session to-day and
will doubtless return an indictment
against Leander ]. Martin, alias Miller,
for murder in the first degree. 1t is sup
posed that the grand jury will also in
vestigate the rioters and will probably
bring in a number of indictments. If
this is done, the militia ought to be re
tanned. as such action on the part of
the authorities is very liable to stir up
the mob and cause a repetition of last
Sundays scenes. Two of the leaders of
the mob, Victor Vidoni and Michael
SchmidtuZ have disappeared.

An Effort to Separate Them From
Those of Nebraska.

Washington. oct. OR. T. Hin OF New
Orleans. representing the executive COM
mittee of the sugar planters of Louisiana,
and ex-Congressman Myers OF Louisiana,
called at the treasury to-day TO confer
with Secretary Carlisle in regard to separ-
ating the Louisiana sugar claims from the

by the OXnard Beet Sugar Company Of
Nebraska, upon which the decision Of
the controller Of the treasury was based.
The Louisiana claimants take the ground
that their case Is stronger than the beet
sugar claims of Nebraska, and they want
Secretary Carlisle to hear them separately
as to sending their claims over to the court
of claims for adjudication.
Mr.. Carlisle, as he was on the point of
leaving for Kentucky could not consider
the matter sufficiently to decide. The
Louisiana people say If Secretary Carlisle
will not send their claims to the United
States court of claims. they will test the
constitutionality Of the law in the United
States court Of Louisiana first, and then,
If the decision be adverse, Will carry II up
to the supreme court Of the United States.
