Recommendation for a Communication while
they believed Willis had fair and I'm
partial trial, they thought that clemency
should be shown because OF Jurors Eu'
ward 4. Hawthorne, Lewis H. Day and
Charles Miller having assehted to the
verdict believing that the death sentence
would not be imposed.
But Governor Tunnel believed that
Willis had been justly convicted and could
not conscientiously prevent the law FROM
taking Its course.
While his action surprised few people
it was deemed proper by large number
who believed that Willis had committed

Milais had a favorite story of pretty
but rather gushing young woman who sat
next to him at dinner, but had not caught
his name, and to make conversation said:
II suppose you've been to the Academy
Did you notice the Millaisi And didn't
you think they were awful daubsf" The
amused smiles of those around the fair
critic showed her that she had made q
break of some kind, and she vainly be-
sought her companion to tell her what IL
was, Finally, when tho dessert came, 4
filled up her glass with champagne, said
the artist, land told her to gulp 1t down
very quickly when counted three. She
obeyed without protest, and took the op-
portunity when she couldn't speak to say:
WELL am Millais. But let s be friends. :"

Backward

The Mckinley Tariff Law Is . Long Step
Backward
LONDON, March 15.-The Times this
morning prints nearly page of what
purports to be the new tariff schedule
and comments edltorially as follows:
"A cursory glance is enough to show
that long backward stride is being
made in the direction of the Mckinley
tariff. In whatever way the matter
may be settled 1t will involve serious
disturbance and arrangement Of busi-
ness for English exporters. as we'll as
corresponding loss for Americans
themselves"
/ Proceeding to comment on Mr.. Small
ley's interviews, 1t compares the ear
nestness of Mr.. Mckinley with the nebu-
losity of Mr.. Sherman, and says 1t can
not understand McKinley's anxiety on
the currency question. because IL he
looks around on Russia Japan and other
countries he will see that every nation
goes its own way at its own time In
currency matters and that the action
of Russia and Japan raises formida bic
obstacle to the realization of bimetallfst
dreams
