CHAPTER XXXV,-- (Contlnued.)
This instrument of the law was sim
ply an upright wooden post rising from
the platform. AT It's base was low
stool, on which the condemned are
seated, and about three feet above that
appears an iron ring with a handle
and screw, by the compression OF which
they are strangled, instantly or slowly
according to sentence.
The crowd was very impatient; the
hour at which tho grim scene was to
have taken place was now long past.
Loud murmurs arose from the people,
who had heard most exaggerated
stories of Antonio's stature, strength
and feroclty, and glances OF anger and
Impotence were darted at the gilt dial
of the town house, on which black
banner was hoisted but half-mast high,
We recognized nearly all the crew OF
the San Ildefonso In front of the mob;
and there, too, were number OF Brit
ish sailors OF II. MS steam sloop OF
war Active, which had anchored In the
harbor that morning,
Several priests in long, gray robes
were hurrylng to and fro, begging a
"peseta" to pay for masses for the soul
of the condemned man.
As neither Hlslop nor had any de-
sire to witness scene so barbarous
and revolving as an execution, We has
tened to our posada to breakfast, where
we were some time later Joined by
Capt Jose Estremera, who had just
come from the Castle of Santa Cruz,
where the culprit was confined, and
who gave us all the particulars con-
corning the execution of Antonio that
we cared to know.

Potter's field was a piece OF groune
which, according to the statement in
Matthew xvii, z, was purchased by
the priests with tho thirty pieces OF
silver rejected by Judas and converted
into burial place for Jews not be-
longing to the city, The passage reads;
"And they took counsel and bought
with them the potter's field to bury
strangers In" The terms used at the
present day TO denote the ground
where unidentified persons and the
bodies Of unclaimed persons are buried
undoubtedly had It's origin in tho
transaction alluded to by Matthew.

People who have no sense Of humor
act very funny ut times

Gen. A. s. Kimball, Depot Quarter
master of the U. S, Army, in New
York city, has sent to Lyman Nc
Carly, Assistant General Passenger
Agent Of the Baltimore g. Ohio Rail-
road in New York, a letter Of thanks
for the prompt movement of troops
that were tlcketed over the Baltimore
G. Ohio Railroad during the past year.
He says that many OF these movements
were made on short notice and his de-
partment had too frequently to rely
upon insufficient and sometimes mac
curate data He realized that under
such circumstances the company was
placed In an embarrassing position and
the extraordinary efforts made by the
line to give satisfaction in every re-
spect merlted and received his fullest
appreciation.

CHICAGO. Aug. s.--A special to The
Record from Victoria. B. c.. says:
The Imperial government and the
Dominion authorities have decided to
increase both the regular military and
militia forces on this station of the
Pacific coast department of the British
army and navy.
Coming at a time when the relations
between Canada and the United States
are acknowledged by Premier Laurier
to be rather strained over the Alaskan
boundary, it looks as if Britain and
Canada were determined to assert the
claims Of Canada in Alaska by force of
arms If 1t becomes necessary. Be this
as it may, the garrison is to he greatly
increased. The barracks on Macauley
point, where the big forts are situated,
whose big disappearing guns command
the straits Of San Juan de Fuca, will

More Than Treble the Number
of engineers, marines, artillery, sappers
and other service men than are now
quartered there. Some Of the increased
garrison have already left England and
others will come out in big squads
within the nex few months via Halifax
and the Canadian Pacific railway. The
first squad OF troops to come will num-
Der 800 officers and men and the present
accommodations being too small to
house them, much larger barracks will
be at once erected. The cost Of the
new military post. half Of which is to
be borne by the Dominion government
and half by the British authorities, will
be 925, 900, or about 1875, 600. 1t is also
said the naval force will be increased
by the addition Of the depot ship Teme.
rarie which will be sent out Of Chat
ham in September. The warship. with
the new admiral. is due from England
