HANGING ON RECORD
Joe Cadotte, Executed at Fort Benton,
Died in Four Iinutes.

Helena, Dec. 27.-Joe Cadotte, the slayer
of Oliver Richards, otherwise known as
"Oliver Twist" because of a facial de-
formity, was executed at the Jail yard at
Fort Benton this forenoon. His death
came the quickest ever known in hang
ing. He left a statement saying that he
had led a wild life. being raised among
Indians. and that he attributed his mis-
fortunes to association with the whites,
for he had always been taught by the In
dams in his boyhood to be brave and hon
est and to fear no one.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Cadotte. accom-
panied by Deputies Howell, Ford and
Camp and Rev. Father Follett. entered
the little enclosure where Sheriff Nc
Laughlin was in waiting. When Cadotte
entered the enclosure he was led by the
sheriff directly under the pulley. The
straps were adjusted by that officer, who
then asked Cadotte If he had anything 10
say. His reply was very few words to
the spectators, in which he told them all
he had to say was left behind him In a
statement which would be published; that
Miss Penault, n halfbreed woman, was not
the cause Of the killing but that II was the
result Of a quarrel He ended by saying
that he would die as a brave man and
Christian should die
Then the moose was adjusted and the
prisoner kissed the crucihx. The sheriff
placed the black cap stepped quickly to
the lever and threw 1t. The great weight
fell and the body shot upward. The neck
was broken by a compound fracture.
There were a few nervous witches, the
pulse ceased in four minutes and the
heart in six. which is a phenominally
short time. Eleven minutes after the
weight fell the body was cut down and
placed in n coffin. Physicians declare the
quick death must have been due to lac
Grafton of the pneumo-gastric nerve by
the fearful jerk given Cadotte.

WAS TOO FREE WITH HIS VIEWS

TO Discipline Foreign Ranter.
Chicago, Dec. 26.-President Harper of
the Chicago university has been afforded
another opportunity of disciplining a
member Of his faculty for too free an ex-
preston of his personal opinions, and
the legion of friends of Professor Bemis,

that institution for his radical views con-
corning the relations of capital and labor
in this country are now awaiting with
Interest what action, If any, the head of
the university will take, now that the
offender is a foreigner and the president of
the United States Is the subject Of at
tack
This time the individual that has been
indulging in some plain talk is one Pro-
fessor Won Hoist, an unnaturalized Ger
man member of the faculty, and who in a.
lengthy interview on the day of the pub
LEGATION Of President Cleveland's mes
sage concerning the Venezuelan compli-
cation declared that the chief executive
was guilty OF "presumptuous impudence,"
asserted that England was perfectly right
in the attitude it had taken. and charac-
ter.zed the presidents message as the
"veriest sophistry." These offensive eX-
pressions, which were repeated again and
again in different forms in the interview
in question, have created locally storm
of disapproval. and there Is a very general
expression of opinion that the university
authorities shout disavow any sympathy
with them. Naturally enough, the friends
of Professor Bems are making the most
of the occurrence. They contend that
Won Holst's offense is much more grave
than anything that has been imputed to
Professor Bemls. and insist that what is
sauce for the goose should be sauce for
the gander. There is no indication, how
ever, that the university authorities pro.
pose to take any cognZance of the NAL
apertness of their associate.

NATURALIZATION NOT A LOCAL ISSUE
Only the United States Has Power TO
Grant Such Papers.

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-Judge Morrow
rendered an important opinion in the
United States district court today on a
writ of habeas corpus asked for by Gee
Hop, the Chinaman who arrived from Pc
kin three months ago ard was refused
permission to land, although he had pa
pers showing that he had been naturalized
by the New Jersey court.
Commissioner Peacock who took the
evidence in the case, recommended that
Gee Hop remanded "for the reason that
there was no law comforting the right of
naturalization upon Mongolians or natives
of China; that the judgment of the court
of common pleas of New Jersey naturaliz-
ing Gee Hop was absolutely nun and
void for want of jurisdictions. and that
therefore, Gee Hop was and Is not a citi.
zen of the United States. as claimed by
him, and can not be perm tied to land in
this country"
I'm this conclusion" Jud e Morrow said
81 hear lily agree. The ms tier of natural
ization IS exclusively within the control
of the government of the United States
and not of the states"

DESPERATE FIGHTING AT zeITouN
Fleeing AImenians Now in Great Danger
of Massacre.

Constantinople, Dec Eft is officially
announced that most obstinate fighting
preceded the capture of Zeitoun by the
Turks. Semi-ofllcial advices from Zeitouh
say the Armenians lost 25OO killed during
the engagement and $50 Turks were kill,
ed. The narrow pass between the hills
leading out of zeitoun is said to be crowd
ed with Armenians-men, women ano
chlldren-and 1t Is feared they will be
massacred. The ambassadors of Great

and Austria sent their dragomans to the
palace today to make representations with

NO NEWS OF THE INSURGENTS

Havana Dec. 26.-Since the arrival
mere last night of Captain General Mar
tlnez de Campos from Matanzas he has
been in conference with leading military
ana naval officers civil dignitaries and
leaders of the different political par
ties. They assembled al the palace last
night and in the course of a number of
patriotic speeches pledged their uncon-
dltonal support to the government in
its efforts to suppress the instruction
ana promised to do everything possible
IN the way of moral and actual assist
ance.
News from the frot seems to be in
terrupted by rail and telegraph and no
details were obtainable concerning the
movements of the insurgents. 1t is
not generally believed, however, that
the march of Gomez and Maceo upon
Havana has really been stopped and
that they are in retreat.
The last news from the Spanish col
umns was that they were heading for
Guanabana, the headquarters recently
evacuated by Campos, situated not far
from Matanzas.
