ST. PAUL IN NEW YORK.
Coptain Eigsbee's Cruiser Arrives for Sup
piles and Coal.

New York, June 3.-The auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul, Captain Sigsbee COM
manding, came into port today, having
passed the night at anchor off Sandy
Hook. After. the ST. Paul had cast
anchor of Tomkinsville, Captain Sigsbee,
in civilian dress, went ashore and thence
proceeded to the navy yard.
The st. Paul is standing high out of
the water, showing that her supply of
coal has run short.
Captain Sigsbee refused to be inter-
viewed regarding the recent service of his
ship In the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba.
He left later for Washington with des-
patches from Admiral Sampson.
Before going he said that the st. Paul
went to the West Indies, having had
plenty of excitement and lots of work.
The most of the time was spent cruising
OF Santiago keeping watch on the Span
ish feet under Admiral Cervera. All on
board were in excellent health and spirits.
Speaking of sighting the Spanish ships
in the harbor of Santiago, 1t was said
on the ST. Paul that the ships were seen
for the first time, laying across the har-
Dor inside the entrance one astern of an
other. They had apparently dropped down
from an anchorage further inside where
they had not been seen ON account of the
high hills in the vicinity and the winding
entrance. They were believed to be the
Spanish flagship Cristoable Colon and the
cruiser Maria Theresa or Vizcaya. Two
torpedo boats crept outside the entrance
"a short distance under the cover of the
forts and then put back into the harbor,
where no doubt the presence of the Amer
Jean feet was creating some excitement
Shortly after the arrival of the fleet off
Santiago a conference was held on board
the Brooklyn aud the ships were all made
ready for action and much to the dis.
appointment Of the crew of St. Paul who
could see that they would not be in it,
the st. Paul left for Mole ST. Nicholas.
where she arrived same day and left with
dispatches for Admiral Sampson, whose
feet was met at Havana.
The St. Paul got orders from Admiral
Sampson to proceed to New York for coal
and orders and proceeded here on the 3Oth
arrived off the bar about nine O'Clock last
night. 1t is expected that the ST. Paul
will be in port for about three or four
days.

weeks ago several French Canadians en-
ployed in driving logs down the river to
Chrisholm's Mills, claimed they saw the
body of a man passing under boom near
a gap, but the foreman of the crew did
not credit the story. A few days later
some of the men found nearly new

case was found containing clothing. AL
though there are suspicious. that it may
be case of foul play. it is generally be-
lieved it is one of suicide or accidental
drowning.

North Yarmouth and Raymond to either
of the candidates, but have placed them
in column by themselves because they
are claimed by both the candidates. The
Dresser men assert that there was
straight contest in Raymond and that
their ticket was elected, and hence claim
the delegates. They also assert that the
North Yarmouth delegates are for Dresser
though they do not claim that there was
straight contest in this town. The
Despeaux men on the contrary claim that
they have reason to believe that all the
delegates from these two towns are for
their candidate. In the face of their rival
claims the only fair way to treat them
seemed to be to place them in column
by themselves, and not credit them to
either party.

SPECIAL SESSION IN SIGHT
CONGRESS WILL BE CALLED To-
GETHER BY THE PRESIDENT
Senate May First He Convened to
Act Upon the Treaty of Peace
Heing Negotiated Between the
United States and Spain-Meet-
Ing of House May Thereby BE
Delayed Until September.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Fresident
Mckinley will call an extra session Of
both houses Of congress as soon as
spain accepts the terms Of peace Offer
ed by this country. 1t has always been
understood that the senate would be
convened as soon as the treaty Of peace
was ready to be acted on by that body.
The attention of the president has been
called, however, to situation which
makes the assembling of the whole con-
gress necessary. The situation can be
explained in the following words:
Under the law which provides for the
raising of the volunteer army, that
army gees out Of existence as soon as
the war ceases. When this law was
framed 1t was not for a moment sup
posed that after the war ended there
would be any necessity of keeping the
army intact The developments make
1t very necessary that fully 100000 men
will continue to be needed 1t is the
present intention to distribute no less
than $4,000 soldiers throughout Cuba,
10000 in the Philippines and probably
10000 In Porto Rico. Under the law as
soon as hostilities cease the volunteer
army is disbanded, and the regular army
goes back to it's peace footing, this
leaving only $4,000 men in the service.
This Is total far too small for the
work that will be required Conse-
quently the aid of congress will be
asked to frame new laws to provide an
adequate army for garrison service. In
addition to this new laws must be pass
ed to meet the requirements of the gov
ernment in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines.
The president Is naturally averse to
calling congress into session during the
hot weather. and it may be decided that
the war is not ended until the senate
ratifies the treaty of peace. Under this
circumstance congress may not meet
until the beginning of September as
1t will be month or six weeks before
the full details Of the treaty are franz
ed. The present outlook, however, is
for much earlier session, in the hope
that the work can be completed before
the fall campaign has reached Its
height

Murderer of William Guldensuppe
Sat in the Fatal Chair.
NEW YORK, Aug. MARTIN Thorn
was put to death in the prison at Sing
Sing, at 11:17 this morning for the
murder Of William Guldensuppe.
Thorn sat up later last night than
was his custom. He talked Of his par
ents, his boyhood days in Germany
and his first experiences in this coun-
try. He showed no nervousness and
when he threw himself on his cot it
was but few minutes until he was
sound asleep.
Warden Sage, who went to Thorn's
cell early today, said Of him:
Thorn told me he was not nervous
was perfectly reconciled to his fate.
and that he had made peace with Lis
God. He slept well and had no fear
of death. There is not the slightest
change In his actions. He is the same
cool man who came to the prison six
months ago. His nerve is stronger
than that of any other murderer who
has been in the death house, s +s
Thorn told one of his keepers that
his only dread was the waiting from
the time he awoke until he was sum-
moned to the chair. The condemned
man received the last sacraments Of
the Roman Catholics church. When
summoned to the execution chair,
Thorn showed no emotion, walked to
1t quickly, repeating prayers after the
attending priest. There was no unto
ward incident in connection with the
execution, and after the current had
been turned on ffty-five seconds Thorn
was dead

NEBRASKA FUSIONISTS.
They Are Gathering at Lincoln for
TOday's Three Conventions.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 1.-Delegates to the
Populist. Democratic and Free Silver Repub-
lican state conventions, which meet here to-
morrow, simultaneously but separately, have
been arriving throughout the day and even
ing, and enough of the leaders are already
on the ground to outline the programme In
far as it affects complete fusion of the
three parties, which is already as geod as ac-
complished. 1t Is generally conceded that
the Populists will claim and be granted
majority of the state Offices giving the Dem
ocrats the attorney generalship and the Free
Silver Republicans the lieutenant governor
ship. The main contest will be on the COVER
norship, and for this Office the Populists have
ten aspirants, four of whom-ex- Speaker
Gaffin of Wahoo, ex-Mayor Weir, of Lincoln
and District Judges Thompson, of Grand ISL
and and Beall, of Hastngs-have following
so nearly equal as to make their chances
equally good.
Ex-Speaker Gafln, who, until week ago
was considered the most popular nominee
was few days ago the victim of O. runaway
accident, in which he suffered two broken
ribs and other severe injuries. He Is at pres
ent confined in Lincoln sanitarium and his
canvass has necessarily Jagged.
There Is little or no strife for the remain
ing offices, though it is hinted that the Dem
ocrats might, at the last moment, in view of
possible Populist friction, insist on the gov
ernoFship.
The platform Of al three conventions is ex-
pected to uphold the war, and on the cur
rency proposition virtually ITO reicerate the
Chicago declaration,
