stoicism which he had exhibited since

ruary giving away, and he confessed
his guilt of this as well as other shock
ing crimes.
He admitted that his right name
was John Newman, and that he was
born of good family IN Staffordshire,
England, in 1855. He professed the
profouDdest penitenee for his misdeeds
and at the last moment willingly re-
ceiyed the religious consolation usually
offered the condemned.
The execution was affected without
incident. Few spectators were ad-
mitted, those present being principally
officers of the court and attendants
directly concerned in carrying out the
laws decree. The case is one that
has excited intense interest through
out the colonies, and great satisfaction
is expressed in the thorough work
performed by the detectives in secur-
ing evidence leading not only to the
capture of Newman, and his speedy
conviction and execution.

NEW YORK. July 16.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The publication of Secretary Sher-
mans dispatch on the Behring sea seal
question elicits momentarily in the
English press the smoldering embers
of recent criticisms of American .diplo-
matte methods. The text of that dis
patch is not pleasant reading, as the
Pail Mall Gazette and other journals
frankly admit.
AS the matter stands the implication
that England has not acted with good
faith is considered blow below the
belt.
The petulant comments of the Lon
don press today ought not, however,
to be taken too seriously. The action
of the foreign Office has disclosed will
ingness on the part of the government
to discuss the question without ir-
ritability.
This dispatch was one of the earli-
est state papers presented by Ambas-
sador Hay to the foreign Office after
his arrival in London, and, while the
reply of Lord Salisbury was refusal
to set aside the expert testimony Of the
British agent employed in the case,
there was no indication that unfriend-
iy feeling had been excited, either be-
fore or after Mr.. Fosters return to
London from St. Petersburg. The
negotiations have remained in progress
with an increasing probability that
the British government will ultimately
consent to send representative to q
conference at Washington when Rus
sia and Japan have been drawn into it.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 15.-The
Trans Mississippi congress was called
to order promptly at 8 O'Clock this
morning with large audience In the
galleries, and delegates seats well
filled.
The regular order Of the day, mines
and mining, was then taken up. TREY
L. Ford. of California, read lengthy
paper on the Necessity for estAblish-
ing a department Of mines and
mining" He was followed by Judge
Royal. of California, on the same
subject.
At this point w. J. Bryan entered
the hall and was greeted with the
widest enthusiasm. Black, OF Cali
fornia, moved that three cheers be
given for Bryan, which the latter said
was out of order, but the cheers were
given nevertheless.
Bryan in taking the chair said it
was q matter of great regret that he
was not able to be here earlier, but he
knew the congress had been ably pre-
sided over by Messrs. Whitmore and
Craig. He said he was fully in accord
with the movements of this congress,
which represented the great empire OF
the West. There were numerous
matters in which this section
was peculiarly interested and that
was one of the reasons why the con.
gress had met here for an interchange
of views on these matters, add another
reason was that the trans Mississippi
states were part OF this great nation
and interested in everything OF
national importance. They had right
to secure everything which would tend
to their advancement, but did not de-
sire to do so at the expense of another
part of the country.
