100000.
New YORK. Nov ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Trustworthy information has been re :
ceived as to the contents of the report of
the commission which examined into the

it is stated this sum Is too small by some
millions.
The route as proposed by the commits
sion is 173 miles long, or three or four
miles longer than that which the canal

ADVICE FROM BOSTON.

covornor Morrill, Advised to Hang the
KinsIsy Murdersrs by Boston
Preacher.
Governor Morrill, this morning re-
ceived letter from Boston preacher
urging him to execute the murderers of
Mayor Marsh, of Kinsley.
The letter did not have the in
tended effect as the governor immedi-
ately dictated letter to Judge Vandi-
vert, at kinsley, notifying him that he
would not order the execution of the
murderers now in the penitentiary.
The letter from the Boston preacher
is as follows:
No. 13O Bowdoin Street, -'~ !
Boston, 8 Nov. 1895. :
Dear Governor:
Many hope and pray that you will let
the law take its course and have all muir
derers executed according to the law of
all the United States and all other civil
lied and Christian countries. Almighty
God tells US in the Old Testament
that 'swhosoever sheddeth mans blood by
man shall his blood be she'd" and Christ
Almighty, our Savior, confirms this by
stating particularly and emphaticallY
that he came not to do away with the law
but to fulfill the law. So that while he
saves the guilty souls of true repentant
believers he still intends his laws to be
carried Oub ana 0X6cuLoQ 10 the very AoL-
ter. Amen. And capital punishment
is intended not only to punish criminals,
but also and especially to deter others
from crime And officials who fail to
execute Gods laws thereby rebel against
Jehovah. There is no place nor room
nor occasion for silly womanly sentiment
here. Yours faithfully,
REV. SILLIMAN BLAGDEN.
Attorney General Dawes said this
morning that he does not regard the
position of Judge Houk, of Hutchinson,

statute referred to by Judge Houk gov
erned under the old law of 1868,
when prisoners under death ser
tence were not taken to the
penitentiary but were kept in the county
Jail until executed. The section, referred to
by Judge Houk was to be applied where
sheriffs failed to do.their duty and execute
criminals and allowed the succeeding
official to bring the prisoner into court to
be resentenced

Manning the Armada.

Don Quixote, when he set out on his OK
petition and forgot money and a change OF
linen, was not in q state of wilder exlllta-
ton than Catholic Europe at the sailing OF
the armada. Every noble family in Spain
had sent one or other Of its sons to fight
for Christ and Our Lady.
For three years the stream Of prayer had
been ascending from church, cathedral or
oratory. The king had empticd his treas
ury. The hidalgo and the tradesman had
offered their contributions. The crusade
against the crescent itself had not kindled
more intense Or more sacred enthusiasm.
All pains were taken to make the expedl-
ton spiritually worthy of it's purpose. No
impure thing especially no impure WON
an, was to approach the yards or ships.
Swearing, quarreling, gambling, were pro-
hibited under terrible penalties
The gallcons were named after the apos-
ties and saints, to whose charge they were
committed, and every seaman and soldier
confessed and communicated on going on
board. The ship boys at sunrise were to
sing their "Buenos Dias' at tho foot OF
the mainmast and their "Ave Maria" as
the sun sank into the ocean. On the i'm
perial banner were embroidered the figures
Of Christ and his mother, and as motto
the naughty "Plus Ultra" Of Charles V
was replaced with the moro pious aspira-
tion, "Exsurge, Deus, ct vindica causam
tuam. "-Froudo in Longman's Magazine.
