Killing Her Mistress.
Brandon, Man., Dec. 27.-Emily Hill
da Blake, domestic, was hanged here
for the murder of Mrs. Lane, her mis-
tress. The execution was private, only
a few persons obtaining the privilege
of witnessing it.
Miss Blake, who was only % years
old, walked firmly to the scaffold with
out assistance and was the coolest of
the party with the exception of the
Hangman Radcliffe. She made no
statement. The crime for which EN-
lily Hilda Blake was hanged was the
murder of her mistress, Mrs. Robert
Lane of Brandon, on July last. Mrs.
Lane was found dying with a bullet
hole in her breast and the Blake girl
gave the alarm, saying a tramp had
murdered her. Later she was charged
with and confessed the crime, saying
she did it because she loved Mrs.
Lanes children and was jealous of
the mothers love. Her trial was brief.
as she refused all offers Of counsel and
pleaded guilty.

the situation Is.
indianapolis. Dec. 27.-Senator Bev-
eridge made the following statement
concerning Senator Quay:
The talk about Quay not having
votes enough to seat him is nonsense;
SO are the claims that he has enough
votes to seat him. Nobody knows just
what the situation is. Nobody knows,
for example, how | shall vote. i know
that n great many other senators are
exactly in the same situation. The
whole matter is a pure question of
constitutional construction. All this
talk about corrupt elections, etc., has
nothing to do with the case. Quay Is
not claiming through an election. He
is claiming through an appointment
by the goevrnor. The question is
whether or not the governor had a con-
stitutional right to appoint him. l
have not had time yet to give that
question the special study which its
immense Importance deservesA When
l have done so 1 shall know how l
shall vote. For that consideration, and
that consideration alone, will deter
mine the matter. This also is the case
