Albany, n. Y. Oct. i5.-Superin-
tendent Cornelius y. Collins viii SEND
a request TO Secretary of State Hay
to designate an official representative
OF the government to be present AT
the clectrocution Of Leon Il. Czol-
gosz, the murderer Of President Nc
kinley. Only 26 witnesses viii be
present in the chamber of death when
the sentence is executed
Warden Mead of Auburn prison has
sent TO Superintendent Collins the re-
quests he has received for permission
20 attend the clcctrocution, over one
thousand in all. The law win limit
the number of witnesses and the SUI
perintcndant will decide who the wit
ncsscs shall be.
Ii was stated at the state depart

mcnts to the effect that Czolgosz is in
continuous state OF collapse and
that he breaks down and wecps every
time anything is said to him con-
corning the clectrocution. are false.
Superintendent Collins had talk with
the condemned man some days ago,
and at that time he said he knew he
had to die. He expressed no fear as
TO the electrocution, but said that he
would not care to go outside of the
prison for he believed that the people
would kill him.
Since his confinement in Auburn
prison several thousand letters have
been received for him at the prison
as well as large number of express
packages containing flowers and fruit.
The letters. flowers nor fruit have
never reached the condemned man.
The flowers and fruit, it is learned,
have been sent by Christian societies,
as have number Of letters consol-
ing him in his last moments. Other
letters have come from cranks who
have written about the species of tor
turc to which they would put him if
they had the execution of justice in
his case. 1t is stated, however. that
q would be n matter of surprise il
the names of senders of fruit and
flowers We're made public.
The state prison department has
pursued a uniform policy in regard to
Czolgosz. An effort has been made 10
prevent the murderer from gaining any
rotoriety while awaiting death and
TO surround him by as perfect an iso-
tation from the world as possible.

Dse 90 the Optimistic Prophets

London, Oct. l3.-The South African
campaign has q curious effect on Brit
Ssh generals. Public attention is cen.
tered on Gen. Buffers extraordinary
exhibition, while society is gossiping
nbout the remarkable action of an
other general. This one is a knight
commander of the Bath, holding a
high command in South Africa. He is
over co years of age, has been wild
over for two years and has engaged
himself. by letter, TO marry woman
of 30 whom he has not seen for 20
years The bride-elect, who is an
Irish woman, is preparing to go out TO
South Africa.
AS for Gen. Butler. he seems to have
forever shattered every yestige OF his
reputation.
He Had Received Hints.
A press representative learns that
previous to Gen. Buffers speech of
Thursday he had received several
plain hints from the war Office ex-
pressing the hope that he would not
accept invitations to make speeches.

rank demands. OF the two evils we
chose what we thought was the least
Our Justification is perhaps somewhat
sentimental, but no army can be run
without certain amount of senti-
uent.
Optimistic Prophets Blamed.
AS for the public dissatisfaction
with our progress in South Africa,
fear that Lord Roberts and other OPP
timistic prophets are. unintentionally,
more to be blamed than any one else.
No one got up and said the Burmah
war was over. or that it would be

British public took il as a matter OF
course. The South African war has
probably got another two years to
