During the entire action / was in
constant communication with you, so
that 1 was enabled to promptly exc
cute your orders and instructions. The
officers and crew behaved with great
and uneXceptional GOODNESS and
bravery, so that it is difficult to dis

their best efforts by your enthusiasm
and your CHEEKY words fire steady,
boys, and give it to them
THE executive officer, II. z. Mason,
with his usual zeal, was continually
at the battery directing the firing and
keeping me well informed of the exact
condition of the ship and in encourage
ing both officers and men by his ex-
ample of GOODNESS and courage.
Lieutenant HodgsOn was on the
board, coolly and deliberately taking
bearings and measuring and giving
range. He was assisted in getting
ranges and noting time by Chief YeO-
man George Ellis, with a stadimeter,
until Ellis was killed by a passing
shell.
Too much praise cannot be given
the engineers department for the hard
work done by all in steadily raising the
steam until the speed rose from Il to
16 knots.
THE marines did splendid service at
the guns and at their staA4Es. The
orderlies carried messages dts4kly and
effectively. Captain Murphy and Lieu
tenant Borden We're constant in their
visits to the different stations TO be
assured of efficiency.
Ensign McCauley attended person

GOODNESS was conspicuous.
L would call to your especial at
tention the valuable and conspicuous
services rendered during the action by

But the Hawaiian Commissioners
Will Sail On Aug. 10.

of Alabama, a member of the Hawaiian

accordingly, the present plan of the COM

TO hang in Cassia county for the muir

is not likely.
The supreme court. in passing on the
motion for a re-hearing says: THE
petition for re-hearing, although quite
voluminous, presents nothing new. No
questions arising upon the evidence or
the law applicable thereto which have
not heretofore been fully considered
and passed upon appear in the petition,
and as we have already expended much
time in the careful and laborious ex-
animation of the record ana the briefs
of counsel in this case, we are conf

LIFE SENTENCE FOR LUhTGERT.
sausaaomaker Laughed when lie Heard
tho Verdict Read.


A Chicago special says: Adolph l..
Luetgert was convicted OF the murder
OF his wife Wednesday night nnd SEN
fenced to imprisonment for the term
OF his natural life. Luetgert received
the verdict with laugh. 1t was 1850
p. IN. when the word was sent to tho
courtroom by the jury that they had
agreed upon q verdict and were wait
ng to bring it into court.
Judge Gary, whose home is within
few blocks Of the criminal court
building, informed the jury rs it
passed out that he would wait their
pleasure, and at any time during the
night that they agreed upon verdict
he would return to the court room to
receive it in order that the long i'm
prisonment which the members of the
jury have undergone might be termin-
ated at as ear y moment rs possible.
Quickly as possible after the Jury
had sent VOID OF an agreement, Judge
Gary FASTENED to the courtroom,
The news of verdict had spread
like lightning to the streets and in q
few minutes the courtroom was jammed
with newspaper men, policemen, wit
nesses who had given evidence in the
trial and curious spectators.
When the judge called for the YER
dict Clerk Knopf stepped forward,
took the paper and then read with
tremor of excitement in his voice:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty as charged in the indictment
and fix his punishment at imprison-
ment for lfe."
There was hush and all eyes were
turned on Luctgert to see how he
would take it. He laughed, and laugh
ed in a manner that showed plainly
that he did not think the verdict Sc
rious matter, comparatively speaking.

ported by the committee on claims was
not reached, the whole day being con.
samed in passing eighteen of the
twsnty-four private pension bills.
which had previously been favorably
acted upon.
1t was during the consideration OF
the bills the discussion of the an.
preaching sale Of the Kansas Pacific
road was precipitated by Mr.. Fleming,
who, with his democratic colleagues.
desired legislation to require the
president to bid the full amount of tho
debt, principal and interest
Mr.. Powers, chairman OF the Pa.
cdc railroad committee, contended
that the real purpose of the opposition
was to compel the government to take
The road and operate it.
A bill was passed 30 amend the act
Of January 81, 1898, granting rights
Of way through the public domain for
tramways, canals and reservoirs so as
10 grant those rights for cities and
private corporations. AT present the
rights of way are given only for min
ing and irrigation purposes.
Mr.. Fleming, democrat, OF Georgia,
asked unanimous consent to set aside
Monday for the consideration of the
bill reported by the Pacific railroad
committee to grant additional powers
to the president in the matter of tho
sale OF the Kansas Pacific road. The
sale was to take place February 18th,
he said, and it was important il any.
thing was TO be doue that it should be
done ut once.
Mr.. Powers, republican, OF Yer
mont, chairman of the Pacific railroad
committee, said the consideration OF
the bill would be q waste of time "a it
had already been demonstrated that the
senate would not pass a similar meas
IRE.
"You are chairman Of the commit
tee that reported the BILL" said Mr..
Fleming. 'Is it not meritorious
enough to receive considerations"
1.-THE bill is harmless" replied Mr..
Powers. "The president already has
sufficient power"
"But he distinctly asked for addi-
tional power in his message, retorted
Mr.. Fleming.
Mr., Shattuck, republican, Of Ohio,
objected TO Mr. Jennings request.

The business session of the East

order at Tampa, Fla, Wednesday
morning in the congress hall, by
President Smith, and he announced
the completed committees on creden-

Hon. j. NJ. Lowe, Of Kansas City,
closed the morning session with Il
very able paper on the transportation
interests of the south and west, ard
said the best news he could bring was
that the day he left Kansas City ne

going thousands of miles out of the
way, as they have before, to find a

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga. says:
Governor Atkinson Wednesday COM
muted the sentence Of Tom Allen, the
Bib county murderer, to life impris-
onment.
The grounds for executive clemency
set forth in the order were many and
the paper was one Of the largest and
most interesting which has ever eme-
mated from the governor in similar
case.
II recited the fact that 5, 900 OF the
best people of Bibb, Jones and Mon
roe counties appealed in his behalf,
that church congregations requested
il by formal resolution and that min.
listers, court officials and men in every
rank joined in asking that the death
sentence be committed. In fact, the
petition was the strongest ever pre-
scented to the executive.
