Emma Hunts Murderer Killed by Electric
 ity at Auburn Prison.

ity at Auburn Prison.
 AUBURN, N. Y.. April 5.-A current of l, TAO volts was turned into William Lake, the brutal murderer of Emma Louise Hunt of Carlton, in the death chamber at Auburn prison. One minute later Lake had expiated his crime. Tho execution was the most successful that has over talk on place here
 Lake's last hours on earth were spent very much as he has spent all his hours this week-rcading the Bible. He arose at 4 o'clock in tho morning. About o'clock tho death warrant was read to him. He listened to tho reading qu'otly and said not word when it was finished. He par took of hearty breakfast and ate 1t with evident relish.
 Shortly after II o'clock Warden Stout visited tho COndcnnCd'S cell to vest tako in tho suit which he Wore to tho chair. After the trousers had been put on the warden noticed that tho price mark WAS still upon them and told tho keeper that ho had bot ter remove it.
 Never mind. intcrjettCd Lako. Ut will never be sCCn on tho street." Ho smiled upon saying this and seemed very much uncunCorncd.
 At :}5 those who had invitations wcro summoned into the wardon's office When the witnesses had all been seated. Eluctri- clan Davis tested tho apparatus by pass ing the current through 20 lamps strGtch- cd across tbs chair. Warden stout gavo nod to start for tho COndomnCd's cell Tho warden lod the procession and was followed by tho keepers and I4ako, who walked with his spiritual adviser. Rev. George T. Webb, toward tho chair Lako gave one casual glance around the room and then seated himself in tho chair. Tho keepers strapped him into the chair, and Dr +. W. Ximmor of Rochester ad- iusted to his left wrist n sphygmOgraph, a little instrument which traces tho pulse beats with unorring accuracy usually. When, at l2 :43, the keepers completed their work, a small stream of water was secn to tricklc down the face of tho con demned, issuing from the sponge under the clectrodo on his head. His right leg was barred, tho trousers having been slit almost to tho knee, exposing the calf of the limb. to which tho other clcctrodc was | attached. As tho keepers stepped aside Mir. Webb read from the one hundred and sixteenth Psalm.
 When Mir. Webb had concluded, the off cials stepped aside, Dr. Trimmer kcpt his | eyc on tho watch, and Warden Stout gave Elcctician Davis the signal. In n flash a | current of l.740 volts was turned into the | body in the chair It strengthened against | tho straps which held it, and something | like a untitled gruan issued from tho com l pressed lips.

THE treasury is to-day in better con dition than it has..been at any tune since the present administration came into power For some time there has been a steady in crease in receipts both from customs and internal revenue, and they are expected to continue to increase right along. Not the least gratifying thing about the situation is that it is now certain that no extra ses- sion of congress will have to be called, even if the supreme court decides against the income tax, unless something entirely unexpected shall make it necessary. The treasury will have ample money to pay all claims, and the arrangement made with the syndicate which bought the last issue of bonds has so far worked like a charm in Keeping the gold in the treasury.

SIR CHARLES HIBBERT TUPPER.
 when he was a mere child he would get up on chair or table before his father, Sir Charles Tupper, who was later high commissioner for Canada in England, and deliver an address on the affairs of the day. He was educated at McGill college, Montreal, and studied law at Harvard. Shortly before his examina- ton at Harvard he broke his leg while wrestling, and his friends felt certain that his chances for winning his IL. B. were over for the time being. Young Tupper, however, did not allow such a trifle as a broken leg to stand in his way and carried on his studies in bed. When examination time came, his leg was still immovable as log in it's plas- ter cast and gave him great pain, but he took ten days examination in bed and secured his coveted degree.
 He then returned to Nova Scotia and began the practice of law. In 1882, when he was only 27 years old, he was elected to parliament. He made his mark in the house of commons and mar ried the daughter of Hon. James McDon- aid, chief justice of Nova Scotia After five years of notable work in the com mons, during which he demonstrated unmistakably that he was "a chip of the old block, The was made minister of marine and fisheries by Premier Sir John Macdonald. He was a prominent figure in the Boring sea arbitration, and in September. 1893, his yeoman service for Great Britain and Canada zl-.ll l..k Al. IL ed him. He is one of the youngest Cana dians ever knighted, and with the ex- ception of the late Sir John Macdonald is the youngest man who ever held the office of privy councillor.

will be no change In the attitude assumed
by Nicaragua toward the British ultima
tum, and confident belief Is expressed thai
the British will occupy Corinto today to
enforce their demands.
Late last night a well-known diplomat
received private information from con.
nections In New York city to the effect
that Nicaragua had decided to refuse TO
acceds to Great Britaln's ultimatum, and
would resist It. DIR. Guzman, the Nicar.
aguan minister, has not received any In
formation from his government respect
ing the matter, but he is of the opinion
that matters will transpirs as indicated
above.
History Of the TreubIs.
In the late war between Nicaragua and
Honduras, the Mosquito reservation was
occupied by Nioaraguan troops.
The inhabitants, who had long enjoyed a
measure Of self government, which was
regulated under the treaty of Managua,
concluded between Great Britain and
Nicaragua In ls6o, resented the presence
Of the Nicaraguan forces, and finally Of
their proceedings.

and tool over the administration OF tho
country. The N%icaraguan minister made
up his mind tina. the opposition offered to
the troops had not been tho spontaneous
act OF the people OF the reservation, but
in part was the work of foreigners, and
smons those foreigners he believed was
Mr.. Hatch, the British vice consul.
The Expuision Of Hatch.
He sent for Mr.. Hatch one morning and
placed him under arrest. Another Eng.
lishman was arrested ut the same time on
similar grounds. and other British sub
jects were expelled from the country, and
suffered, 1t Is said. injuries to their prop.
erty. II is for these alleged wrongs that
Great Britain now demands PREPARATION
from Nicaragua.
The Nicaraguan government sought
refuge In the statement that 10 had not
officially acknowledged Mr.. Hatch as vice
consul or granted him his exequatur.
This excuse did not avail.
BY the terms Of the ultimatum Great
Britain demands indemnity of $40, 600 In
gold for the alleged outrage committed on
the person OF It's vice consul and the ap-
pointment of n commission to adjudicate
upon the Injuries sustained by other Brit
ish subjects at Blueields. In answer to
this, Nicaragua claims justification and
asked that the matter be referred TO arbi-
