Finally his vigil was rewarded by the
appearance of the girl and her younger
sister coming down the street arm in

three times in rapid succession. The
girl fell pierced by two bullets, and she
died soon after being removed to her

General Knox.

Washington, March 5-The United
special session called by the presi
dent
1t was an interesting event, as such
sessions do not usually occur except
when president of the United States
is inducted into office. At the begin
ming of each new congress-and today
was the first session of the senate of
the Fifty eighth congress-the oath
was administered to thirty senators
who take office for six years. OF these,
seventeen were reelected and thirteen
were new men.
AS soon as the senate was called to
order, Mr. Hoar obtained unanimous
consent to make a statement for Mr..
Burrows, chairman OF the committee
on privileges and elections. Mr.. Hoar's
statement was supposed to have refer
ence to Mr.. Smoot, but he did not men
tion him. 1t was to the effect that any
man having credentials could be sworn
in.
The senate then proceeded to admin
lister the oath of Office to twenty-six
senators, including Smoot
During the proceedings, they were
frequently interrupted by applause
from the galleries. No objection was
made to Smoot. Four were not sworn
in-Ankeny, Clarke (Ark). Gallinger,
and Stone.

HON Err BIRD.
The Alaskan Murderer Will BE Exc
cuted Tomorrow.


cuted Tomorrow
Washington, March s. President
Roosevelt having declined to interfere
the execution of Homer Bird, the
Alaska murderer whose case has at
tracted widespread attention, will take
place tomorrow in far-off Sitka. The
case of Bird reads like a novel Six
years ago he was a well-to-do business
man in New Orleans. He had a beau
tiful and talented wife, several chill
dren and happy home. Then he met
the other woman, Naomi Strong, for
whom he neglected his wife and chill.
dren. In 1897 he organized an expedi.
tion to Alaska, taking the woman with
terson and Shelter When the party
had reached point near the Slaughter
House, on the Yukon, Bird was seized
with Jealousy on account of the atten-
tions of the other men to the Strong
woman. He deliberately shot and
killed Hurlin and inflicted a fatal
wound on Patterson, from which the
latter died several weeks afterward
Shelter and the woman managed to
escape and reported the facts. Bird
was arrested, and at the trial the
Strong woman testified against the
man she had aided in running. and.
largely on her testimony, Bird was
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged. Then his wife, who had
been basely deserted, took up her eff
forts to save his life She came to
Washington and appealed to all the au-
thorities here who could do anything
for her husband. An appeal was pend
ing in the courts, however, and Presi-
dent Mckinley would not act until the
appeal had been disposed of. The SUI
preme court granted Bird a new trial.
He was again put on trial and was
once more convicted Again there was
an appeal on a writ of error, and
third trial was granted by the courts.
On this trial Bird was for the third
time convicted of murder, and as a re-
suit his execution takes place tomor-
row in the Jail at Stka, where he has
been confined for nearly five years.
The devotion and selfsacrifice of
Mrs Bird has been most extraordinary.
She attended her husband upon all
three of his trials; came TO Washing
ton to see President Mckinley when
the first respite was granted and has
expended all the money which she
could raise for his defense and ap-
peals. During her recent visits here
she has been received by President
Roosevelt, Attorney General Knox and
others with the greatest consideration.
1ut the convincing evidence of Birds
guilt and the atrocity of the crime
made it out of the question for any
urther clemency to be exercised.
