TWO MEN EXECUTED.
HANGED AT CANON CITY.
Thomas Jordan and Peter Augusta Pa
the Penalty for Committing Murde1

Canon City, May 12.-Thomas Jordan
and Peter Augusta were hanged In the
state penitentiary between $50 and 8
o'clock last night. The executions were
separate owing to the fact that the
same machinery had to be used for
both. An hour before his execution
Peter Augusta made the following
declaration:
Innocent of the crime for which
am In short while going to be exc
cuted by hanging I stabbed the man
whom l had never known before with
a pair OF shears and not with a knife
nor stilettO because he attacked me
first, threatening death and with open
and avowed intention to rob me Of part
Of the money that he knew had on
my person. forgive all that have had
any part in my unjust conviction and
unjust execution, may God forgive.
Slgned PETER AUGUSTA"
Thomas Jordan, who was executed in
the same room, thirty-six minutes be-
fore, left sealed letter addressed to
his attorney, H. B. O'Reilly. Neither
man said anything while standing
waiting for the automatic machinery
to jerk them into eternity.
Within five minutes after this War
den Cleghorn was reading the death
warrant to Jordan, standing at the
door Of his cell. Father Ferrari held
the condemned mans hand, but there
seemed to be no necessity for extran-
eous aid.
Jordan was prepared to die. He
had said 1t must be death or free, and
the dice of fate said death. After the
reading of the warrant two guards took
him by tied arms and led him unresist-
Ing to the verge of the trap. Then the
long hood was adjusted over his head.
He was gently urged forward. He
stepped upon the trap In the floor and
the silent machinery began to work.
In little less than four minutes the
drop in the next room fell and Jordan's
body plunged upward. The body
writhed as it swung for eleven minutes
before life was pronounced extinct. His
neck was not broken and he was
strangled.
Within thirty-two minutes Peter Au-
gusta stood on the same trap as calmly
to all outward appearance as his pre-
decessor. His body swung in the air
only six minutes, the neck being brok-
en-. DR.. Dawson declared the two exc
cutions the most skillful that had been
made in his seventeen years expert
ence as prison surgeon. From the mo-
ment Jordan stepped on the trap until
Augustus body was lowered to the
table placed under him to receive his
body, only thirty-eight minutes had
elapsed.

A MINISTER RECALLED.

Our Representative to Venezuoia Charged
with Drunkenness.
Washington, May 13.-Seneca Halle
ton, United States Minister to Venezu-
ella, who Is In Washington, ostensibly
on leave of absence from his post, will
not return to Venezuela. While Ad-
miral Meade was ut La Guayra with
his squadron this spring he had occa-
sion to communicate with the United
States legation at Caracas. The Pres
ident is said to have acted Immediately
and this accounts for the minister's
sudden departure from Venezuela for
Washington. Admiral Meade's report,
according to persons who know what
transpired a La Guayra, reflects Sc
verely upon the sobriety of the minis
ter and asserts that the business of the
legation, almost from the date when
he took charge a year ago, has been
conducted altogether by the secretary
Of the legation, Mr.. Bartlemann, who
has been stationed at Caracas for the
past five years.
Hazleton says Meade's charges are
due to spite.

War.
New York, May 13.-The World has
the following special advices from To-
kio via San Francisco: The last battle
Of the war between Japan and China at
Tien Chwang Tai, March 10, resulted
In butchery equalling the atrocities at
Port Arthur. 1t demonstrated that the
common soldiers of both Oriental races
are as blood-thirsty and as brutal as the
American Indians. The Custer mas
sacre was not more horrible than the
slaughter of Chinese by the Japanese
at Tien Chwang Tai.
Tien Chwang Tai Is In Manchuria, on
ly few miles from New Chwang. The
Chinese under General Sung had forti-
fed it. Forty thousand Japanese iu-
fantry and 5000 cavalry and artillery
attacked General Sung's position March
o, from three sides. The Chinese were
quickly routed and the Japanese army
entered the town and began the
slaughter. Though 1, 400 Chinese were
killed, only one wounded Chinaman
was taken prisoner.
The wounded were despatched on the
field in true American-Indian style
Then the town was sacked and burned.
Letters from eye-witnesses describe
the butchery as horrible.

Trying to Paralyze the Socialists

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-Acting under
orders from the authorities, the
police made a search of the resi-
dences of a number of socialist
members OF the reichstag and other
leaders OF the social democrat
party for proofs that breaches of
the laws OF the association had
been committed, The search re-
suited in the discovery and seizure
of a large number of letters and
the minutes Of the proceedings at
several socialist meetings. The
houses OF eighty socialists of promi.
hence were visited and searched,
including the residences of Bebei
and Singer, the socialist leaders in
the reichstag. 1t is expected that
similar searches will be made in
the cities and towns throughout
Prussia. 1t Is supposed that the
aim OF the authorities is to DESTROY
such records of the recent elections
as they may be able to find in an
effort to paralyze the connection
between the local organizations
and the central executive body of
the socialist party.
