 According to the statutes of the state of Minnesota, only one fate can await Harry Hayward-a sentence to be hanged by the neck until he is dead. Neither the jury nor the judge could alter the sen- tence, no matter how strongly inclined they might be toward lenience. For mur- der in the first degree the law provides only one penalty.
 At the request of counsel for the defense the pronounoing of tho sentence was de- ferred until next Monday, but the verdict of the jury has made the sentence of liar. " Hayward as certain as though the judge had already announced 1t.

 CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 1.-The as tronomers at the Harvard observatory were disappointed in their observations of the eclipse last evening. The heavens were cloudy, and little or no satisfactory results werc obtained. Three Bruce photograph ing instruments were exposed all the even ing, but there Is little hope of any result, and the astronomers were given little chance to study the new satellite which has been reported to exist somewhere noar the disk of the moon
 The chief interest in the eclipse at the Harvard observatory was the study of the occultations of the stars, thereby hoping to determine more definitely the moons orbit and possibly its diameter. but tho cloudy weather made this study of little valiIa

RoBlNSONS ON TRIAL.
Both Husband and Wife Have Confessed to
 the Gibb@ Murder.

the Gibbs Murder.
 BUFFALO, March la.-Tho jury to try the two Robinsons in the superior court was completed this morning. and the trial began in earnest.
 The prisonors-Clarence and Sadie Rob inson-sre indicted for murder in the first degree for tie killing of Montgomery Glhhs young lawyer. on Delaware ave nue year ago. This murder, by reasun of the prominence of tho victim and the baifling mystery which surrounded tho crime created n sensation.
 Mir. Gibbs. rcticcnt and inoffensive citizen, was shot while walking alono up fashionable residence street about 10 o'clock in the evening.
 No arrests were made until several months later the Buffalo police received word from the police of Cleveland that they had Clarence Robinson under arrnst and had wormoi out from his pals charge that he was implicated in n Buffalo mur. der. Assistant Superintendent Cusack of the Buffalo police went to Cleveland and arrcsted Rohinson's wife Sadie who, thinking that her husband wns to be charged with murder, confessed that she killed Gibbs. She was brought to Buffa. b. but refused to give particulars. Rob inson, learning that his wife was under arrest in Buffalo for tho Gibbs murder. made clean breast of the matter telling how he and his wife had gone out to "hold up" somebody that night, Sadie being gttired in mems clothes Gibbs had rc- sisted them, and in the tusslo ho had been shot. Clarence Robinson wns brought hera, where he has been jailed apart from his wife ever since
 The district attorney has found tho dis. guise which Sadie woro on tho night and other corroboratiye evidence and believes he hns a strong case. There are many people hero who believe that tho Robin. sons nre lying md had nothing to do witf the affair Attorney w. w. Saperston will defend both. The question whether tho confessions of tho Rohlnsons will be ad. mittod by the court as evidence against them or how much of them and the curl osity to see the pair and hear what thcy will say for themselves on tho stand filled the courtroom as soon ms the doors wor auapnsl

Labor Riot at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, March 13.-A thick fog was the veil behind which desperate white levee laborers gathered and which they pierced with winchester rifle balls aimed at the colored nonunion men at work on the ships. The attack was made at points several miles apart just before the arrival of the police, and as a result there are half a dozen corpscs and a dozen or so wounded men.
 The police saw the attack. but no ar rests followed. they claiming they were too few to cope with the unexpected out break. The day before the mayor said all was quiet, and the governor saw no grounds for interference. but today the business men are denounoing both. The militia is in readiness to move An ap- peal to the federal government has virtu- ally been made, and even the foreign con- suls have decided to join in the movement for peace at any price.
 The causes which led to the troubles have been of long standing and grew out of the attempt of ship agents and others interested to reduce rates. The white sorewmen claim that the colored men who were given a share of the work under an agreement made secret cuts and violated the agrcement in order to obtain more work and gradually crowded the white men of. The white associations then sey- cred all tics with the blacks and refused to work with them or for the men who employed them. The white longshoremen joined tho screwmen in this
 Since then the steamship lines have been gradually going over to the negroes. Lately the white screwmen quit work on the lines still loy al to them. and stated that they would not work until tho whole affair was strengthened out Several more lines then took on negro laborers from necessity.
 The whites finally determined to retail late on the stevedores by offering to re- duce rates and deal with the ships direct Ships in haste accepted the offer, but the agents stood by the stevedorcs. The latter offered to pay more than the screwmen asked, but the screwmen refused to deal with them.
 The agents offered to pay the screwmen their wages and place the stevedores over them as superintendents, but the screw men again declined Then the 'stevedores began importing colored sorewmen from Galveston. and the whites growing des- perate, broke loose in riot.

Sheriff and the police are probably thor
oughly ingrained with Altgeldism, for
yesterdays dispatches say that they have
taken no action, made no arrests and
done nothing to protect the unfortunate
negroes.
In the meantime the colored citizens of
Peoria and Chicago have held meetings
and appealed to the Governor TO protect
American citizens, black though they be;
but doubling his disposition, they are
arming and calling for volunteers to
march to the scene of the difficulty, and.
II need be, die in defense of the right OF
women and children with black skins to
live despite the DEGREES of band of alien
midst OF Illinois an autocracy, and de-
creed the exiting and death of all who
refuse to do obeisance to the new form of
government.
AS we have said. we may not call the
attention of Italy to this case, since we
are bound to protect our own at home.
But since the Federal Government in
1892 paid $50. 200 as the cost of the car
cesses of certain Mafiaites, it may be
asked of Italy, as mere matter of conun-
drum. "who is to indemnify the families
OF the poor negroes Italians have beaten
and shot TO death and those they have
crippled and ruined for lie in IIlinois?"
Since the foregoing was put into type,
news is at hand at a late hour that the
Italians have entered upon the carrying
out of their decree, and are driving out
the negroes and destroying or confiscat-
ing their property; that they are sparing
neither women nor children, and that
their Mayor and police officials are look
ing calmly on at the brutal work of these
ruffians. And this in the land whore
the right of every man to live in whatso-
ever community he chooses is supposed
to be sacred guarantee!
Assuredly, it is becoming more and
more the conviction of American citizens
that the bars should be put up-put up
high and put up soon. We have enough
and too many of the foreign class of the
undesirable order.
