There is so much to commend in the
manner of Czolgocz's ~ecutio that it
might almost be said that Nothing in his
life became him like the leaving it." 1t
must be added, however. that the lesson of
the closing scene was due not to him but
TO those who had charge of his execution.
The New York law regulating the infic-
ton of capital punishment is a good one,
and in this case it was carried out with
a stern dignity and strict regard for public
propriety that are worth remembering and
emulating in all executions. The trial Of
the assassin was all that the friends Of
justice could desire, though a public trial
involved a degree of exploitation that
could not be avoided. But from the moment
he was sentenced and turned over to the
State authorities his seclusion from the out
side world was complete and he was
wholly under the shadow of DEATH. OF the
many hundreds of letters and packages ad-
dressed to him by sympathizers or cranks
not one was allowed TO reach him. The re-
fusal of the authorities 10 permit even his
relatives TO witness the execution and their
decision to burn all of his clothes and be-
~longings and TO bury his remains within the
prison walls was in keeping with their plan
to make the assassin's ending as ignomin-
ious as possible and TO cut off every possible
chance of its being invested with heroic or
sentimental interest by sympathizers or
relic hunters. The swiftness of his convic-
ton. the "reminiscences of his punishment
and the degrading disposition of his effects
and remains are not calculated TO invite
imitators of his example.

ALL QUIET IN THE ISTHMUS.
Colombian Insurgents, However, Com
tinue to blockade TumacO

COLON, Colombia, Oct. 9.-The Colom-
bian government is confident that the in
surgents will not be able to maintain the
blockade at Tumaco. The insurgents Sc
cured their position there during the tenn
pOrary absence of the Colombian gunboat
Boyaca, and the government is hopeful Of
being able to raise the siege very soon.
The gunboat General Pinzon sailed for Bo-
cas- del Toro last week. Having found
everything quiet there, she returned 10

MABEL EDITH MISTAKEN.
Countess Russell VIII Get No Apology
from Mr.. Taylor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. &.-Assistant Sec
rotary Taylor, of the Treasury Department,
has received a cablegram from London,
signed Mabel Edith, Countess Russell, in
which she says: Statement made by you
regarding divorce granted Earl Russell in
America is entirely untrue. No papers
were served on me. My first notice came
through London newspapers. Divorce was
obtained by fraud and invalid in America.
This was proved by Judge Curler, of Amer
lea, before the House of Lords. L am en-
titled to public apology from you through
press"
Mr.. Taylor declines to make an apology,
for, he says, he never made the statement
attributed to him. He knows nothing
about the countess divorce proceedings,
except from the newspapers. When the re-
port of Earl Russells probable coming to
the United States. together with a protest
against his landing here, was brought To
Assistant Secretary Taylor's attention a
few days ago., he held, it will be recalled,
that the earl should be permitted 10 land
in the United States unless some other
charge than his conviction by the British
House of Lords for bigamy should be
brought against him.

Americans Libeled.

LONDON. Oct. 29.-Several members of
the Duke of Cornwa and York's party
visited the Pan-American Exposition. One
correspondent, writing home, says Buffalo
is a dirty city compared to Canadian
towns. He says, writing from Toronto:
"All the correspondents noted the eXtraor-
dinaIy difference in the aspect and man
ners of the people here and across the
border. We appeared TO have suddenly got
out Of a region Of wholesome, fresh-com-
plexioned people into a and of a meager,
pallid race like one sees in some of our
manufacturing cities-an active, brisk peo-
pie, lacking the courteous manner of the
Canadians. To some of the young French
Canadians of our party this was their first
experience in the United States, and they
recrossed the frontier more downright in
their expressions of loyalty to Great Brit
ain than they had ever been before"
