VIII Sink or Float.

The navy department will soon let a
contract for vessel which will realize
Jules Eerne's dream of a craft to cruise
about In the depths of the sea. A new
submarine torpedo boat is to be built, and
navy department officials say they have
not the slightest doubt of its success. 1t
is designed not to cruise under water all
the time, but only when necessary on &C.
count Of proximity to the enemy. At 9TH
er times it will be only in part submerg-
ed. There are three methods to which the
new craft is to be adapted-onc, to sail
with about one third Of her bulk out OF
water; second, to leave only small con-
ming tower exposed, and third, to disap-
pear altogether, dropping about five feet
below the surface of the water. When
submerged, the craft uses storage batteries
for power and can steal upon her victims
at the rate of about eight miles an hour.
The ship can be raised to the surface or
dropped below it in a very few seconds
Naval constructors all over the world are
watching the outcome of this most inter-
estiDg experiment. ROBERT GRAVES.

CHINESE BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL

Are They to BE Included Among Citizens
of the United States?
San Francisco, Sept. 30.-The question
as to whether a Chinese born on Ameri-
can soil is citizen OF the United States
is to be tested In the courts.
Wong Kim Ark came here recently
from China demanding a landing on
the ground that he Is a native of Cali
fornia. The collector of the port, while
admitting his nativity, refused him a
landing, claiming he is not an American
citizen.
This decision Is in accordance with an
arrangement already made with the at
torney general who is anxious to test
the right of native born Chinese to land
here.
government person born In the United
States must not be at the time of his
birth subject to any foreign power,
thus making 1t Indispensable to citizen
ship by birth that the parent be then
an American citizen, for If the father be
alien the child will be subject to the
country of the sire. In other words, to
be an American by birth, one must be
born in America and Of American pa
rentage.
If this contention of the government
is upheld the standing of all people
born of alien parents in this country
will be greatly affected. If the decision
in the local courts Is not favorable 10
the government. the case will be taken
to the United States supreme court.

POMEROY SCAFFOLD
Myers Walks Past His Open Cof-
fin With lmpassive Demeanor.
AFTER A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
Speaks to the Crowd and Gives No Sign
of Physical Weakness, Stand.
ing Firmly.

Pomeroy, Sept. 30-Fully 1000 people
saw Charles e. Myers hanged here to-
day. the first execution to take place in
this county. The scaffold was SO built
that view could be had only from
two sides, and every available point of
view was consequently packed to the
utmost by anxious spectators.
Five hundred invitations. emitting
the holders to enter the yard, were out,
but only $50 took advantage of them.
Myers rose at $50, after a sound
sleep, and partook of a hearty break
fast He maintained a careless air and
spoke freely and resignedly with ref
erence to his impending fate. He re-
fused to shave or don new clothes, and
directed the sheriff to use his pleasure
in the disposal of his body. During his
last hours in Jail he refused to see any
one except the Rev. Buzzell, who ex-
tended religious offices.
At 1910 the condemned man left the
Jail for the scaffold. With an impas-
sive demeanor he walked past his open
coffin and up the scaffold steps be-
tween Sheriff Baldwin of Garfield coun-
ty and Sheriff Warmell of Asotin. and
faced the crowd without a tremor.
On the scaffold besides Sheriff Bald
King, Asothf, Whitman, Snohomish and
Nez Perez counties, together with rep
| resentatives of the press.
On the gallows Myers nerve was
more apparent. When the sheriff an
nounced that Myers would speak the
old man stepped forward and with
scarcely a CULVER in his voice declared
that he died as he had lived, an inno-
cent man.
Close confinement and nervous ex-
element had wasted his form; his face
was pale, but composed; his weight was
apparently about 1870 pounds. After
speaking, he stepped back on the trap,
and the Rev. Buzzell delivered an elo-
quent appeal for his soul.
While the straps We're being applied
to his limbs he stood firm in a military
position. There were no signs of any
physical weakness. After his hat had
been removed he again desired to
| speak. This time it was a prayer for
his own soul. With his long hair stirred
by the breeze, again addressing the sea
| of strange faces before him, in his i'm
perfect English, he said:
May the Lord save my soul as he
| will save yours, amen"
A moment more and the strap was
| adjusted and the black cap cut off his
vision.
| At just IL the trap fell. The knot
| slipped from behind the ear and he
| slowly strangled to death. Eight or
| ten times his chest heaved; his fingers
| twitched nervously and at HOS the
last Pickering of the pulse had gone
out, at which time he was pronounced
| dead by the attending physicians.
The body was then cut down and
| placed in the coffin without removing
the black cap, and turned over to the
sheriff. no friend being present t.
| claim it.
The executed man was about SO years
| of age and had spent the last two years
| in jail.

High lime They should BE Driven From
the American Continent.
Chicago, Sept. 30.-As much of the
population of Chicago as could find en-
trance to the auditoriums of Central
Music hall and the Y. NJ. C. A. buildings
tonight, shouted itself hoarse in appro-
baton of a series of resolutions in
which the United States government is
asked to recognize the Cuhens as bel
ligerents. Such genuine enthusiasm
has seldom been witnessed In this city.
Mayor George B. Swift presided at
the main meeting in Central Music
hall. while Judge William A. Vincent
was chairman of the overflow meeting
in the association building. The rs
vice presidents who occupied seats on
the platforms were chosen from among
the leading business men of the city.
Among the kilograms from gentlemen
who could not be present was one from
Governor John p. Altgeld and its ring
ing words called forth cheer after
cheer. 1t was as follows: at is time
that Spanish misrule, Spanish brutality
and Spanish outrage should be driven
from the American continent. We must
end these horrors or else talk less about
Christian civilization. Besides, when
viewed from geographical and politi-
cal or military standpoint, Cuba should
be ours Let our country first extend
recognition, then helping hand, and
lastly place in the Union. This DONE
the richest island of the world will soon
become the gem of the seas"
Senator Cullom wired 1.-The people
of the United States sympathize with
the Cub9ns struggling to be free from
Spanish domination. Our government
should do everything consistent with
national honor in their benalf."
General Alger in a message said: "It
seems to me that what had been pre-
viously done by our government, so
clearly defined by President Monroe,
concerning the belligerent rights of
those countries, should now be grant
ed to Cuba
The representatives of various organ
izations which had selected committees
to cooperate in making the meeting
a success were distributed among the
two. Among these were the presidents
OF committees from the following or
ganizations: Loyal Legion, Confeder-
ate Association, Grand Army of the Re-
public, Naval Veterans, Society of the
Sons of the Revolution, Illinois State
Federation of Labor, rs local labor or
CARNATIONS, Standard Club, Marquette
Club, Kenwood Club, Bankers Club,
Oakland Club, Illinois Club, Menkoen
Club, italian residents, Scandinavian,
German. Bohemian, Irish, Greek and
African societies.
All of the speakers addressed both
meetings. They were Rev. d. F. Con-
zalaus, W. j. Hines, Rev. p. S. Hendon,
John Mayo Palmer, Thomas B. Bryan,
William e. Mason, E. B. Sherman.
When Gonzalaus de Quesada secre-
tary of the Cuban revolutionary party
of the United States and Q. A. Zayas,
another prominent Cuban, stepped up
on the platform at Central Music hall
the enthusiasm knew no bounds and
it was some minutes before order was
restored. At this meeting Eugene
Kaueffer played for the first time in
public his new march, Cuba Libra, u
introducing the Cuban national air.

HOPE OF BRAcING UP THE ALIBl

Durrant's Attorneys Make Frequent Wis.
its to Cooper Medical College.
San Francisco, Sept. 30.-Since the
adjournment of the Durrant trial last
Friday the prisoners attorneys have
visited the Cooper medical college sew
eral times and have had frequent inter-
views with students whom they will
put on the stand in the hope of bracing
up the alibi which the defense hopes
to establish. 1t is thought that sew
eral of the college boys will testify to
having seen the accused between and
2 o'clock on the afternoon of April 8.
but If any will give evidence of the fact
that Durrant was In the college until
$3.50 in the afternoon, he Is not known.
The attorneys for the defense are
building much on what Z. A. Diggins
will testify to. Diggins is a member
of the sophomore class. but frequently
attended the senior class lectures
There he met the defendant. The lat
ter claims that he spoke to Diggins
during DR.. Cheney's lecture ON the af-
ternoon that Blanche Lamont disap-
peared, but Diggins' memory is rather
hazy just at present.
When the proceedings are opened to-
morrow morning, Charles T. I.enahan

what resembling the one worn by
Blanche Lamont to Pawnbroker OPP
penheim. At first great deal of i'm
portance was attached to this witness
by the defense, but of late his testi-
mony has lost weight as he did not visit
the store until the afternoon OF April
IL. Again Lenahan does not bear the
slightest resemblance to Durrant, and
it is not possible that one could be mis-
taken for the other. Their dress was
dissimilar and in personal appearance
they form strong contrast on account
Of difference In size, build and facial
expression.

tain Of Detectives Lees are getting
ready to put in their rebuttal testimony
which they expect to make almost az
