ing Republican defeat that followed the
enactment of the Mckinley protective
measure. He added that ''if the Repub-
licans believed so heartily in high protec-
ton they should be brave enough to form
and pass bill. 1t was the only way they
could justify their position.
Mr. Mccall followed Mr.. Crisp and
said Mr.. Bayard made violent partisan
speech which was obviously one of impro-
priety,
Mr. Bayard, he said, had misrepresent-
ed this country by saying they needed a
strong master. The people Of the United
States had no master. The president was
their servant. He moved to amend his
resolution as to include in it the extract
from Mr.. Bayard's Boston Eng.) speech,
incorporated in the Mccall resolution.
Mr. Dingley (Rep) of Maine followed
Mccall and took the ground that Mr.. Bay
and was an ambassador of the United
States and the question was whether he
should so far forget his duties as to de-
nounce the policy of one-half of the peo-
pie of the United States.
Mr.. Dingley--Has the ambassador of
this country right to get upon platform
in a foreign country and denounce one
half of the people in the terms used by
Mr.. Bayard?

OF these gentlemen who are constantly

Mr.. Wheeler (Dem.) of Alabama asked
why the Republicans If they were so So
licitous for the conduct of our representa-
yves abroad, had not recalled Robert G.
Shank, the United States minister to
Great Britain. who had been guilty of

did not know whether the pending resolu-
tion had been brought into the house un-
der false pretenses, but he did know that
the resolution was based upon newspa-
per report of speech; that 1t was brought
in by newspaper editor (Mr. Barrett),
and backed by another editor (Mr. Ding

Mr.. Cannon Rep.) of Illinois thought
that the resolution should 20 to the Judi
ciary and not the foreign affairs commit
propriety of impeaching Mr.. Bayard. but
he did believe that the Edinburgh speech
es should be condemned and that It was
the duty of the house of representatives
to express its disapproval by adopting a
resolution of censure.
Mr. Turner of Georgia took the posi-
ton that Mr. Bayard's utterances did not
even constitute an impropriety.

the murder brought the conversation to
Mr.. Stewards mind. The funeral came
| next day, and in the afternoon of that
day Harry Hayward was arrested. He
had been again subjected to searching
examination and his arrest was sur
prise. Six hours later Adry was also be-
hind the bars, and the next day BliXt
and his wife were arrested.
Mrs. BliXt however, was soon set at
liberty. On Sunday, December 8, BliXt
made Il confession in which he stated
that the murder had been committed by
Harry and that he had simply disposed
of the body for him. This was clearly
false, and he finally confessed that, in
spired by Harry Hayward. and for fear
that Hayward would kill Mrs. Blixt that
threat being held over HIM. he had COM
mitted the murder, and he described it.
He had, he said, followed Harry's in
structions in all particulars. Harry get
ting the girl to go with him to point
near where the murder was committed
and then turning her over to BliXt, who
watched his chance and shot her in the
back of the head and then tumbled the
body out into the road, where it was
found
Various corrOborating circumstances
were found, and it was for this that Har-
ry Hayward, the stalwart siX-footer
handsome, neryy, erratlc and reckless,
was convicted and sentenced to hang
Claus Blixt pleaded guilty and was sent
to State prison for life for his share in
the crime.
The trial of Harry Hayward was not
able event in criminal Jurisprudence, full
of sensational incidents, and lasted near
ly seven weeks from January 81.
Governor Clough set the execution for
June 21, but the filing of the appeal to
the supreme court necessitated II post
ponement. November 20 the supreme
court announced its decision, affirming the
decision of the lower court. Executive
clemency was refused and the governor
fixed the day of the execution for We'd
nesday December IL, between midnight
and dawn.

A SLEEPLESS NIGHT

Minneapolis, Dec. 10.-Harry Hay
ward slept not moment last night, al
though he attempted to do so. Today
he said
81 do not need any sleep. am going
to have long enough sleep tomorrow
morning."
Detective Quinlan today revealed a
plot of Harry's to escape death, in which
the condemned man put the utmost con-
tdence. He had seen a fakir show in
which man was apparently hanged,
but escaped death by wearing concealed
harness to which the moose was attached.
He wanted Qunlan to hunt up the fakir
and get the harness. He was to bribe
the sheriff to adjust the moose to the har-
ness and his parents were to Elk" the
doctors so that they would pronounce
him dead. His body would be turned
over to his relatives and he would es-
cape to South America.
But | will come back" he added, "to
haunt and ruin my brother Adry."
Quinlan apparently acquiesced, but did
nothing in the matter.
Hayward's latest invention, that he
was married secretly in August, 1894, to
Miss Stella. Goodman, a theater super
HulucIdIy, SeeHlS 10 De thoroughly eN-
ploded. Harry's desire to see her ap-
parently inspired the secret marriage
story, but the sheriff took no stock in it,
and the doomed man was not permitted
to see the girl, although she responded
to his summons. Her mother declares
that the marriage story is false and that
her daughter had not seen Hayward for
years before his arrest. She had forgot
ten of having met him until his arrest
recalled the fact. She is but II years
old now. She has sent him many flowers
during his incarceration. Not one of
Hayward'S relatives take any stock in
the tale.
Hayward spent considerable portion
of the evening telling and listening to
stories. 1t being his last night, he was
allowed quite a privilege and was con-
tinually surrounded by friends. He was
gay and jovial all the time and gave in
dicatiOn that he would go to the gallows
as he would go to dinner. He spoke
about his wife occasionally, for he in
sisted she was his wife. He said he
gave her $50 today to make her feel good.
He passed cigars around freely and
talked about his great meal. The toast
he proposed at his dinner was:
Here's to the girl who loves me and
to the girl whom l love-" and gave it
in the French
He suggested that it would have been
better to have had the scaffold so ar
ranged that every one could see it.

Prof. Hollis. Of the Lawrence scientific

a machine for accurately testing tha en-

paratus employed il "A rowing machine

necessary instruments for measuring and
recording -he amount OF energy expend-
ed on the oar. Friction being eliminated

obtained OF the efficiency Of the stroke
from the time the oar catches the water

covery completed. The autographs re-
production OF the record on paper by
clearly defined lines is obtsinabie by
means of electricity. The machine is
placed in the new engineering building,
and for the present the experimenting is
kept secret. The machine should prove
useful not only in detecting Individual
faults in the oarsmen. but also by show
ing at what periods OF the stroke the
energy is expended with the least re-
suits; also in discovering what Is the ideal
stroke, a problem which In the past has
embarrassed the rowing expert. because
he has been compelled TO depend on his
eye merely in forming judgments. Prac-
tically, as well as theoretically, the most
successful stroke is that which is the
most economical of energy.
