brought into play a small piece Of
artillery, and the noise. more than the

The MascOtte which is an auxiliary
schooner. sailed to Kusai in the Caro-
lines. and notified the German slOOp of

KOmati and the native villages were
sheled. Eighty villages were des-

and twenty were taken prisoners
In. June the MascOtte put into Matty
island. in the Solomon group. and two
traders went ashore with the super
cargo. A great crowd of natives,
seeming d big feast, made for them
and filled the air with spears. Captain
MaccO turned loose his Winchester

stopped the rest for a moment, then
another savage hit the dust. This com

turned their dead over and found two
big holes in their bodies. Then two
more fell and the rest Of them took to
the woods.

SLAYERS OF COL. BROWSE
SENTENCED TO DEATH
King Still Declares He Is Innocent of the Crime
of Which he Is Convicted.
Both Men Prefer the Bullet to the Necessary of Execu-
ton Is Granted.

The unpleasant duty OF sentencing
two convicted murdcrers 10 suffer the
death penalty was performed yesterday
afternoon by Judge Booth. The
doomed men were James Lynch and
Robert L. King. who were found guilty
last week of killing Colonel Godfrey
Prowse q couple of months ago while
robbing the Sheep Ranch gambling
house
Both of the m5rg=fers expressed q
preference to suffer death by shooting.
and the court set Friday, Jan. IL, as
the day of the double execution. Al
most cOncurTently, however, with the
prOnouncing Of the sentence Judge
Booth allowed certificate of probable
cause of appeal to the supreme court
to issue, thus making it extremely i'm
probable that Lynch and King will
have to pay the death penalty so soon
as next January. This granting of
new lease of life to the condemned men
had much TO do with reviving their
otherwise dOWncast spirits.
When Judge Booth mounted the
bench of the criminal court yesterday
afternoon he announced that he had
carefully considered the motion for
new trial. which was argued and sub
mitted Tuesday afternoon. and his con-
victiOn was that there were no errors
at the trial sufficient to warrant a re-
trial of the case. His honor added that
he would make the same rulings again
under like circumstances, and there
fore he Overruled the motion for a new
trial
Attorney Wanless, on behalf of the
defendants, then intevposed a motion
for arrest Of judgment. and after
short argument between him and COun-
ty Attorney Putnam the court denied
the motion.
The next step was to call the prison
ers up for sentence. Lynch came for
ward first and to him Judge Booth
stated that the jury had found him
guilty of murder in the first degree
and that the law left him no discretion
but to pronounce the death penalty.
Preferred to be Shot.
Asked if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be then and there
pronounced against him, Lynch made
reply in the negative.
The law allows you to choose be-
tween being hanged and shot re-
marked Judge Booth.
i prefer being shot" was Lynch's
reply.
Then it is the judgment of the

London, Nov. 16.-The impression ex-

the illness of Emperor Nicholas is more
serious than it is reported to be, but
this is probably based upon knowledge
that the cars constitution is not

serious attack.
In Copenhagen the illness is at

the Chinese crisis, and there is also a
suspicion that the hygienic conditions
and water supply at Lividia may be
faulty.
