ASSASSIN is ELEcTRocUTED.
Successful Execution of Leon Czol-
gosz at Auburn Penitcntinry-
His Last Words.

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 3o.-Leon F.
Czolgosz body has lost its identity
in the dust of the tomb. Not many
hours time has elapsed since the as
sassin of President Mckinley, defiant
to the last, was led to the electrocu-
ton chair and executed for his crime.
But in this short time acids have
done their work upon the remains of
the assassin and there is not YES
tige of his flesh or bone remaining
in the unmarked grave in the prison
cemetery about which guards keep
silent but unrelenting vigil.
Such is the fate of the despised an
archist, who on September 6, less
than two months ago, shot down the
president of the nation at the Buff
falo exposition. His clothing has
been burned and there survives only
the letters he received in prison,
which will be kept as clews to anar-
archists, and the record that he paid
the laws extreme penalty after q

HAVE NOT TURNED BACK.
French Warships Under Admiral
Caillnrd Continue Toward
Turkish Waters.

Paris, Nov. 2.-The dispatch from
Toulon, announcing the return of Ad-
miral Caillard's division of the French
Mediterranean squadron to that port
proves to be incorrect. The officials
of the foreign office Friday informed
the press that the admiral has not re-
turned and that the facts set forth in
these dispatches Thursday are cor
rect. The admiral is now on his way
to Turkish waters.
The incorrect announcement from
Toulon of the return of Admiral Call
lard's division, which created a great
sensation, emanated from the CORE
spondent of well-known news
agency. The explanation is that Ad-
miral Maigret, commander of the
Mediterranean feet. returned to Tou-
lon at seven O'Clock Thursday evening
with all his vessels except those be-
longing to Admiral Caillard's division.
Paris, Nov. 2.-'The sultan has or

short incarceration in condemned
mans cell. That Czolgosz was per-
fectly sane was proved by the autop-
sy and the examination of his brain
soon after his death.
CZolgosz was electrocuted at exact
ly 7:12:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The witnesses assembled in the death
chamber at 7:OS o'clock and at 7:10:3O
the murderer was brought in. He
was intensely pale and the four
guards who accompanied him had to
urge him forward after he had Stun
bled on the threshold of the entrance.
The assassin had refused to make
confession or to call priest, but as
he was being seated in the death
chair and the electrical apparatus
was being fitted to his head he stared
at the guards and said:
81 killed the president because he
was an enemy of the good people-of
the good working people. l am not
sorry for my crime"
These were his words as the guards
hurried him into the chair.
A moment later, mumbling through
the half-adjusted face straps, he said
81 am awfully sorry 1 could not see
my father
1t was just exactly 7:11 o'clock
when he crossed the threshold, but a
minute had elapsed and he had just
finished the last statement when the
strapping was completed and the
guards stepped back. Warden Mead
raised his hand and at 7:12:3O Elec-
trician Davis turned the switch that
threw 1,70O volts of electricity into
the living body.
From the time Czolgosz had left his
cell until the full penalty was paid,
less than four minutes had elapsed.
The physicians present used the
stethoscope and other tests to deter
mine if any life remained, and at
7:17 the warden, raising his hands,
announced:
Gentleman, the prisoner is dead"
Electrician Davis made this state
ment as to the executions:
at used 100 volts of electricity, turning
it into the body at full voltage for seven
| seconds and then slowly reducing it for
| IS seconds. Then I threw the full voltage
| on again for eight seconds. Then, at the
| suggestion of DR.. Macdonald, 1 turned it
| on again for few seconds. did not think
| there was any necessity for the third con-
| tact, and the lack of resistance shown when
| it was administered proves that life was
extinct. The body showed eight amperes
| of resistance. That is little more than
would be given by larger or stout.r man
where the current could have more chance
| to percolate. 1t was as successful an execu-
ton as l have ever operated at in all my
| experience
The clothing and personal effects of
the prisoner were burned, under di-
rection of Warden Mead, shortly aft
er the execution.

THE FEEDING OF AN ARMY.
over SIS, 100000 Spent in Supplying
the Needs of United States
TrOODN.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The report of
Gen. John f. Weston, commissary gen
eral of subsistence, shows that the to-
tai expenditures for the subsistence of
the army during the fiscal year were
$15,622,22S. The receipts from the
sales of subsistence stores during the
same period were $3,290,234. An in
teresting feature of the report is
statement from Col. Woodruff, chief
commissary of the army in the Phil
ippines, in which he says:
During the period covered by this re-
port the command to be supplied extended
from the great wall of China on the north
to the island of Borneo on the south, and
the island of Guam on the east. There were
$50 stations in this archipelago, besides the
troops in China and the prisoners in Guam.
In addition to the $4,000 troops and 5000
officers in this division, the subsistence
department supplied the delicacies for the
sick, rations for 1900 prisoners of war,
1880 marines, many of the stores for the
navy, rations for 1000 civilian employees
and sales stores for the army, navy and
marine officers, Philippine commission at
taches and Americans employed by the
army and by the government in its treas
ury, post Office, interior and educational
departments, metropolitan police, native
police and scouts. transports, etc.
In other words, nearly 100000 persons.
occupying country almost destitute Of
meat and vegetables, and other food sup
plies suitable for Americans, were supplied
largely from a single base, 1000 miles dis
| tant. After the stores reached Manila
they had to be landed in cases and then
distributed, on short railroads, by cas-
Goes. and then pcled up narrow rivers, by
wagon and Cardiac carts, along almost
| bottomless roads, by pack mules and cool
| les over mountain trails, often through a
| hostile country, and some of the posts sup
piled were more distant. in point of time,
| from Manila, than is the capital of our
country.
| Col. Woodruff says that during the pc
riod covered by the report, 81, 900 men have
been returned to the United States, and
above $1,000 have arrived in the Philip
pines, and that not single serious COM
| paint has been received concerning the
| food supply. There has been received at
| the Manila depot 1864, $50 pounds of ra-
| ton articles, and 624H,996 pounds of sale
| stores. There have been shipped from this
depot 111,TIl, 500 pounds of ration articles and
| 57,022,6I1 pounds of sale stores. There has
been some deterioration of stores due to
poor storage and climatic conditions. Col.
Woodruff refers to the charges against
the subsistence department, and takes oc-
| caslon to say that such charges were great
ly exaggerated, and he reviews what has
already been published concerning the
losses by dishonest officers and commits
sary sergeants, together with the trials and
convictions of those implicated. He denies
any illegal purchases of champagne, and
says that the purchases that were made
were necessary for sick and debilitated
| troops, who purchased it at 50 cents a pint
