Paris. Nov. 25.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have not fixed upon the
day to submit their final answer to the
American propositions. But II Is
deemed most likely that tomorrow viii
be the day appointed. and the opinion
gains ground that the Spaniards will
accept the proposals Of the United States.
A significant indication of this view Of
the situation was a remark dropped by
Senior Abarzuza. of the Spanish com
mission, that they expected to remain
here about a fortnight longer.
The secretary of the Spanish COM
mission. Senor Oieda, said that the in
structions from Madrid were not suf-
ficiently matured to enable them to ap-
point the next meeting.

mission would be able 10 leave Paris

THREE HEROINEs.

Splendid Conduct of English Women
Praised by Humane Society.
A recent report of the Royal HUI
name society is more than usually in
teresting. If evidence is wanted of the
strength and courage and hardihood
of English young women, here it is
with a vengeance old folks would add,
says the Philadelphia Times. The sill
yer medal is granted to Miss Fullerton
of Dudhope Terrace, Dundee; of such
a heroine every detail is worth note.
Miss Fullerton was strolling on the
Forfarshire coast, apparently, when
she observed manufacturer in great
distress out at sea. We are not told
whether she threw off any of her
clothes, but since the man was seized
with cramp and was drowning, it is
to be supposed that she did not. The
distance was 800 yards and the sea
"heavy," but Miss Fullerton swan out
and "eXhorting the manufacturer to
reserve his presence of mind"-also
"holding him up"-she conveyed him
safely until boat picked them up mid
way This is somthing like a rec
ord" Our fathers would not have be-
lieved it possible for girl to swim
a quarter of mile in her clothes
through a heavy sea. but this brave
young athlete actually supported a
manufacturer-who ran to weight as
rule-in the agony of cramp. Miss
Joan Harris of Belfast also plunged
into the sea without undressing and
rescued a grown girl; further circum-
stances are not given, but swimmers
know that it was feat, anyhow. Miss
Louisa Bright of Reading, too, did not
waste time in preparations when she
saw a schoolboy drowning in the Ken
net. 1t is not many years since swim
ming was regarded as a dubious sort
of accomplishment for women.

until she could repeat her lines very
glibly. When MILFORD came, Bridget
was told to go upstairs at $3.50 o'clock

herself with credit. However, she grew

she waste do, and finally gasped out:

Wharton, TeXasJune 11.-At an ear
ly hour yesterday morning the streets
teemed with crowds of people, in bug
giles, wagons and on horseback, to see
the execution of Frank Martin, which
ends the tragic history surrounding
the murder of the Croker family.
The hour of execution had been set
for 2 o'clock but Sheriff Rich changed
the time yesterday morning to IL
o'clock; this was done so that Martins
body could be shipped on the evening
train to his former home in Rains
county, Shelf Rich having promised
to do SO several days ago to the con
demned man.
Martin awolie in good spirits this
morning and at an early hour receiv-
ed his spiritual adviser, Rev Mr.. Mare,
who has been constant and faithful
his attendance, administering every
consolation to Martin for some days.
Martin made full confession, ad-
hitting his participancy in the crime
for which today he gave up his life,
in response to the law. He claimed,
however, that other parties shot Mrs.
Croker first, though he did not at
tempt to screen himself.
For some time back Martins mind
has taken n religious turn, and in more
ways than one has he shown that he
was impressed with the seriousness
of the fate which confronted MIN. His
guards speak of him with much favor,
having given them little or no trouble
during his whole confinement of three
years.
A few minutes before the execution
the death warrant was read to the CON
demned man in his cell. He was then
led to the gallows by Sheriff Rich and
his guards, attended by the Rev. MI.
Mare. Martin would make no public
statement Merry to the last, he
evinced only stolid Indifference.
Martin, being a tall man, feet 4
inches high, the earth below the trap
was removed for two feet. The cap
was adjusted, a push of the bar, and
Martin dropped fully five feet. A
strange fate seems to attend excel
lions by law in Wharton. The rope
being tightly drawn cut deep into Mar
tins neck, and the blood gushed forth
in torrents.
People expected another gallows hor-
ror, like the murderer, Jack Fields,
when his head was severed. William
son, the other murderer, 1t will be re-
membered, was hanged twice.
The attending physician having pro-
nounced Martins life extinct the body
was cut down, placed in its coffin, and
put on the train for shipment.
