PATHETIC SCENE.
Dedication of Chapel in Memory O
 Emperor MaximiIIian.

Mexico City, April 1.-People returning from the dedication of the chapel in memory of Emperor Maximillian at Que retaro, describe the scene as pathetic. The religious dedication had preceded the coming of the Austrian princes and so the service was really but a mass. There was not room to contain the people who had assembled, many being drawn by curiosity. The Austrains broke down and wept at the close of the service. The Assiyl knelt down and kissed the steps of the pillars marking the spot where Maximillian and his two companions were shot.

MINE OPERATORS
 IGNORE MITCHELL Only One Answer to Invitation Was Received and That
 Was a Refusal.

Hazleton, Pa, March 13.-President Mitchell called the United Mine Workers to order at o'clock. The report of the committee on credentials showed the presence of 600 delegates, representing SIS local organizations.
 President Mitchell said this morning: "As the convention has not taken up the matter I cannot talk of the possibility of strike. We are entitled to joint con- ference, because that is the only humane and scientific and up-to-date method of settling labor difficulties"
 President Mitchell was elected perma- nent chairman and John Gallagher of District permanent secretary. After re- beating the call issued on February 19, President Mitchell read a copy of a tele- gram sent several days afterward to the presidents of nine of the coal carrying railroads inviting them to participate in a conference. Only one reply, that of President Oliphant of the Delaware and Hudson, declining the invitation, was re- ceived. MT. Oliphant said the company had no intention of deviating from last falls agreement, and that he did not be- lieve an arrangement entered into at a conference would be a binding contract. Miners grievances, he said, could be ad- justed at any time with the officials of tho company.
 The convention then went into execu- tive session.

Corsicana, March 13.--John Henderson, the negro who brutally outraged and murdered Mrs Conway Younger. was burned at the stake by a mob in the day in the presence of four thousand peo- pie. Henderson was arrested several days ago and placed in jail at Waco. Later the negro was spirited away to Hillsboro Last night the officers, fearing mob vio- lence, quietly arranged to take their prls- oner to Fort Worth, and at o'clock they boarded a train. At Itasca. dozen citi zens from Corsicana entered the car where the officers and their prisoner were seated and with drawn revolvers de- manded that the negro be turned over to them. After some parleying the mob got the prisoner and in a short while they were on their way overland to Corsicana
 Henderson reached here at an early hours this morning. and when he learned that he was to be executed by the mob made a full confession. He told how Mrs. Younger had bravely resisted the as- sault and in his frenzy he butchered her before the eyes of her little girl. In the meantime runners were sent to all parts of Navarro County to notify the people that Henderson had been brought to the scene of his crime and that he would be executed during the day.
 Thousands of people poured into the city, and at 10:30 o'clock the streets were swarming with a surging mass.
 It was given out that the negro would be burned alive at o'clock, but a rumor became current that a sheriff's posse was being organized to rescue the prisoner, and the mob changed its plans and an- nounced that the execution would take

HARRISON FELT
 FOR THE BOERS
Their Treatment by England a Constant Source of
 Worry to Him.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 13.-From one who was present at the deathbed, 1t is learned that allegations of cruelty and injustice dealt out by Eng land to the Boers in their struggle for liberty. had been a subject for thought in the mind of General Harrison. To his friends he had often spoken of the pity and shame, as he viewed It, that the brave and sturdy farmers of South Afri- ca should be robbed of their country; of all they have in the world and forced to submit to the terrible miseries in resist ing the oppression of a world power.
 Geenral Harrison, 1t Is stated would have liked nothing better than to come out frankly and strongly and say what he thought of England's cruelty. It was in his mind constantly. but he believed that an ex-President should observe the same proprieties of speech which are ob- served by a President of the United States.
 In his semi-conscious condition, when the sentinels of discretion and propriety had gone from their posts and his mind was wandering. he began to speak of the Boers and their hopeless struggle for na- tional life. His voice was weak and trembling his thoughts were not con- Q, him could hear words of pity for the dy- ing farmer Republics.
 Since General Harrison's retirement from the Presidency he had devoted him. self almost entirely to his law practice. his only public service being his appear ance in 1898 as counsel for Venezuela in the South American Republics dispute with England over her boundary line. Notwithstanding his large law practice General Harrison has devoted much time since retiring from the Presidency to amusement and intercourse He attended the theatre receptions, was a great diner out, and was at all social gatherings one of those most thoroughly entertained and happy He attended local musical con- certs, was president of the University Club, which he assisted in organizing three years ago; was a member of the In- dianapolis Dramatic Club and made many informal social calls.

BURNED AT THE STAKE
 BY FRENzED MOB AT CORSICANA
Shfeng Wretch Confessed to His Awful Crime and Told Or- rbe Story of His Butchey of Mrs. Younger Before Her
 ChiIdren-ImmenSe Crowd Witnessed Execution

place immediately A railroad rail was sunk into the ground in the middle of the courthouse yard and the shivering wretch. heavily chained. was brought forward. followed by a clamorous crowd of 4000 people. The negro was securely chained to the iron stake and heaps of wood were piled about him. Then quanti- ties of kerosene were poured on the doomed man.
 Just as the torches were being applied Conway Younger, the husband of his vtc- tim, jumped at him and attempted to cut his throat with a large knife, but only slashed the chained negro's face. Henderson's struggles were fearful and his screams were drowned by the yells of the frenzied mob. After ten minutes in the roaring flames Henderson's head dropped forward, his struggles ceased and he was to all appearances dead.
 When the frightful tragedy was over, Lee French, white man, whose wife was outraged and murdered near corsicana. by Andrew Norris, a negro nox in jail at Dallas for safekeeping, climbed tree and addressed the assembled thousands, asking them to help him get the murderer | and burn him. The crowd yelled in re- sponse that they would do it. Tn a few minutes, however, the crowd dispersed, l and Corsicana was normally quiet At 1 o'clock today Justice H. c. Roberts held an inquest over the remains of Hen derson and gave the following verdict:
 q find that the deceased came to his just death at the hands of the incensed and outraged feelings of the best people in the United States. the citizens of Ma varro and adjoining counties. The evil denoe as well as the confession of guilt by deceased show that his punishment was fully merited and commendable.
