REVEREND RUBBERNECK
Pre- acher Morrison Hanged for the
ffurder of His Wife.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 27.-Rev. G. E.
Morrison was hanged at - o'clock,
noon, today at Vernon, Texas, for wife
murder. He met his death resignedIy
on the scaffold and said, 81 am inno-
cent" His neck was broken.
) Morrison, along with another pris-
oner, came near escaping from Jail
Monday evening. JaiIor Shive took
their supper to them. He thought they
had gone into the cells and opened the
door to the run around of the cage
Morrison's companion had hid in a
corner of the room around next to the
door and when it was opened sprang
upon the jailor. In an instant Morrison
was out and onto the jailor crying for
his companion to kill him. Shive en-
gagged Morrison and the other party
took to his heels bare headed and bare
footed. Parties near by heard the
racket and when the party ran out
they took after him and captured him
under an old school building in the
southern part of the city. The jailor
after a hard struggle got Morrison
back in the cell.
He was hanged privately A stock
ade eighteen feet high and twenty feet
square surrounded the scaffold.
The rope was the same that was used
in the execution of Jim Darlington, the
Santa Fe train robber and murderer.
when he was hanged in the Tarrant
county Jail. In company with many
other peace officers the Vernon sheriff
was present at the execution of Gar
lington and was so well satisfied with
the perfection of the arrangements
and the ease with which the rope did
its deadly work, that he put in a claim
for it's use in case he should have oc-
casicn IL use ii.
The rope was made at the instance of
former Sheriff Adam EuIess to be used
in hanging Jim Toots negro, who
killed a policeman in Fort Worth in
1894 Toots was convicted and SEN
fenced to hang, but Governor Culber- !
son commuted the sentence to impris-
Jnment for life.

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE W4R
Senator Hanna'S Charge Against the
Democrats in the Senate.

Cleveland, o.. Oct Ex-senator
Hanna repeated his charge of perfidy
against democratic senators pending
the ratification of the treaty with
Spain at a meeting last night on the
west side The senator said the dem
ocratic senators forgot all their patrio-
tism after the treaty was sent to the
committee on foreign relations, and
was by them opposed.
Said the senator: ''The democrats
tried to make political capital out of
the treaty and opposed it.
"They wanted to continue the war
for political purposes in the face of
the verdict of the civilized world that
the treaty was a generous step on the
part of the United States. Almost
every democrat on the other side of
the chamber opposed the ratification
of the treaty. If that treaty had been
ratified in a reasonable length of time,
instead of having been delayed by
the democratic members we would
never have had the least trouble in the
Philippines. Agoncillo and two other
spies of Aguinaldo who were in Wash
ington were in daily communication
with democratic members, and it was
in view of the fact that there was a
party in the United States that would
support him that Aguinaldo stirred up
the insurrection. The men that We're
in communication with the spies are
responsible for every drop of American
blood that has been spilled in the Phil |
ippines. The responsibility rests to- |
day upon the leaders of the democratic |
party
Senator Hanna makes another |
speech tonight and Monday morning |
starts on another tour through the |
state.

Army TRANSPORTS
Three TrooDShipS Just Completed
Uaims d to br UoequaIed.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Col. Bird, in
charge of the transport service of the
army, is back from New York. where
he made a careful inspection of the
three crack ansports-Thomas Meade
Logan-which are nearing completion.
He says they are the finest craft of
the kind afioat, and he has note from
Messrs. Cramp of Philadelphia saying
that the Russian naval officers. who
are in this country to inspect the
Russian battleship building at Cramps
ship yards, say that these are the
finest troopships in the world. Col.
Bird not only went through the ships,
but under them while they were in dry
dock, and found every detail as near
perfection as shipbuilding science will
permit. The Thomas will be ready to
sail for the Philippines November ..
carrying the Forty volunteer
infantry, commanded by Col. Howe,
recently in camp at Camp Meade, Pa
The Meade will follow on the 18th
proximo with the Forty-third volunteer
infantry commanded by Col. Murray,
now at Fort Ethan Allen, VT. The
Logan will sail on the Goth ultimo,
with the Forty-f1rst volunteer infantry,
under Col. Richmond, now at Camp
Meade. The Thomas and Logan have
a capacity of 1850 men each, and the
Meade is not far behind, but the pur-
pose is to allow the most ample ac-
for the troops and none
of the ships will take more than
single regiment They will each make
the trip by the Suez route.

PARLIAMENT PRORoGUED.

London, Oct. 27.-The house of com
mons passed the appropriation bill af-
ter which the measure was taken to
the house of lords anG passed through
all its stages The queens speech was
read and the lord high chancellor de-
clared parliament prorogued until jan
uary 15.
During momentary IuIl in the fight
ing in Natal comes news from the west
ern border which temporarily shifts the
scene of chief interest to the beleag
uered British force at Kimberley. A
sharp struggle there Tuesday appears
to have been the result of a sortie with
view of breaking the Gordon sur
rounding the place. The British appar-
emily 800 strong met 700 Beers and ac-
cording to official and other accounts,
routed them after severe fighting.

WILL, NOT MEET AGAIN
NJ Further Sessions of the joint
High Commission.

Washington, Oct 27-It is now
learned that owing to the temporary
character of the settlement of the
Alaska boundary question there will
be no meeting 6f the Canadian joint
high commission. The commission ad
journed last spring because of the de-
liberate statement bY the Canadian
contingent that they could not under
take to adjust any of the other impor-
tant questions before the commission
until the Alaskan boundary issue was
satisfactorily settled. If the arrange
ment effected had been permanent in
character instead of merely temporary
the field would thus have been cleared
for the resumption of the work of the
commission, but with that issue still
open it cannot be seen how the United
States commissioners could meet the
Canadian demand, so that it is regard
ed as usless to attempt further meet
ings
Therefore, the only manner in which
the commission can come together
again will be through the adoption
some time in the future by the gov
ernments of the United States and
Great Britain, through treaty, of the
modus arranged, as permanent So
luton of the boundary question.

A COUNTER PROCLAMATION
By British Authorities That No
part of Cape Colony Has Been
Annexed 10 fhe Orange free
State A Elementary Pause
In the war on the Natal Side
of The TranSVaal.

Cape Town, Oct. PA telegram
from Buluwayo, Rhodesia, dated Mon
day, says: "A Boer force is threaten
ing Chief Khama and Chief Lichwie,
who are loyal to Great Britain. The
two chiefs country lies at the eX-
treme northwest of the Transvaal and
includes BechuanaIand. 1t seems
gross mistake for the Beers to pro-
woke a war among the natives. The
probable explanation is that the Boer
force intends to destroy the railway to
Buluwayo, which runs through the
Khamas country, and thereby prevent
a movement by Col Plumer's Rhode
sian force to go to the relief of Mafe-
king. Already there have been stories
of a Rhodesian armored train engag-
ing the Beers some distance north Of
Mafeking''
Sir Alfred Miner, governor of Cape
Colony, and w. P. Schreiner, the

pHlLIpDINE COMMISSlON
a r1eefing OF tn nsmberS Expected
Next We k.

Washington, Oct. PA meeting of
the Philippine commission will prob
ably be held in this city next week.
Secretary Hay has been notified that
Messrs. DENLY and Worcester will
reach Washington Monday. Professor
Schurman will probably come at the
same time.
Admiral Dewey was assigned to
special duty, in connection with the
meeting of the commission, by an or
der issued by Secretary Long yester-
day. He has been on waiting orders
since his return.
It is apparent that the work of the
Philippines commission in preparing
recommendation for the governing of
the islands is to proceed simultaneously
with the military operations to obtain
cotItrol OF them. General Otis is to
catch the IA abbit while the Philippine
commission gets ready to help con-
gress stew it.
1t is hoped by the administration
that by the time congress reconvenes
from the holiday recess something def
mite and tangible with respect to the
Philippine problem can be laid before
the legislative body. Yesterdays bull
Ietin from General Otis telling of the
proposed garrisoning of San Isidro,
when captured, was the first indica-
tion of the real inception of the new
fall campaign. 1t is expected that
henceforth he will push steadily north
ward, garrisoning the country as it is
taken and closing in on the insurgents.
The administration leaders in con-
gress are very anxious to have some
results to show when congress meets.
They realize that the democrats will at
tack them, horse, foot and dragoon, as
soon as congress meets. There is cap
itaI to be made for the coming national
elections. The democrats are not likely
to lose any opportunities to harvest Il
supply.
For the present and until Otis ac-
something the republicans
will, in a measure. it is said, be on the
defensive. Their time for aggression
will come when Otis wins out and a
policy of action with respect to the fu-
-ure of the islands is presented.

A VISAYAN PLOT.

with organizing a revolutionary junta.
Santiago owns sugar estates through
out the island of Negros. 1t is as
serted that a council of ten and the
manager of the junta met daily at
Santiago's office for the purpose of
engineering extensive schemes of in
surrection. One of Santiago's steam
ers was captured carrying supplies to
the rebels.

GREELY ON HIS TRIP
Observations of the CHIEF S'a1aI
Officer in Europe.

Washington, Oct 27.-Brigadier Cen
eral Greely, chief signal officer of the
army. has returned to this city from
trip to Europe, where he attended
the geographical congress at Berlin,
where he had an opportunity to OBJ
i serve the trend of sentiment in Eu-
rope on public question of interest in
the United States. In the course of
conversation with the imperial chan
cellor of Germany, Prince Hohenlohe.
and the minister of finance Baron
Thielmann, he learned the views of
those representative officials of Ger
many on the American advent in the
far east. General Greely said today:
LAS to the military branch of my
observations. the German emperor ac-
corded special privileges for noting
the entire operation and equipment of
the military balooning department of
the German army, an experience Of
great value. The German balloon
equipment and methods are unques-
tionably the best in the world. Their
opera tiOns are conducted with a celer-
ity precision and completeness that
must forcibly impress any military ex-
pert who observes them. The drag
ging balloon. a German invention, en-
ables ascents to be made and observa-
tions taken even during the highest
winds. One of these balloons was Sc
cured for the American service some
time ago, and is now at Fort Myer, Va.
The geographical congress at Ber-
lin was extraordinarily successful, al
though the English-speaking delegates
formed an inconsiderable part of the
congress, numbering about seventy.
Naturally, however, the geographical
changes wrought by the war with
Spain, the extension of American in
terests in both hemispheres and the
maturing of the South African crisis
with its many possibilities of geogra-
phicaI change attracted unusual at
tentiOn to quarters in which the Eng
countries are concerned.
The delegates TO the congress were
mostly men of distinction
L had a long conversation with
Prince HOhenlohe, the imperial chan
cellor, and with Baron ThieImann, i'm
perial minister of finance, who will be
as ambassador at Wash
fngton a few years ago, in which they
expressed the opinion that the advent
of the United States in Asiatic waters
would be followed by no withdrawal |
and that the country would carry out
successfully its civilizing plans for the
future advancement of the Philippine |
Islands. They expressed the most cor |
dial feeling toward the United States. |
and made it evident that whatever ri |
valries might arise between the two |
countries would be along business and |
lines.
