Preacher Opposed to HanoInos.

New York, August 16.-To strength
en- his argument against capital pun
ishment, the Rev. Emilia Maury, pas
tor Of the Second Reformed church,
Jersey City, will witness the execu-
ton of Edward Tapeley, negro wife
murderer, in Hudson county jail on
Friday. Mr.. Maury contends there is
consciousness after the body of a con
demned man leaves the platform. He
declares that a man who was hanged
in Jersey City four years ago gave a
signal after the drop fell, showing con-
sciousness although his neck was
broken. If Tapeley gives the same
signs after the hanging, Mr.. Maury
will appear before the legislature next
winter and ask for the abolition of cap
ital punishment

Will Take Breakfast at Naval Yard.
Portsmouth, N. H., August 16.-The
Japanese ENJOYS, after trip from
| Newcastle in covered mQtGr car,
though a cold rain prevailed arrived
at the navy yard at $40 today. The
Russian commissioners reached there
few minutes afterward. 1t is un-
derstood that the subject to be con
| sidered today was No. Z, of the peace
conditions, which is the one relating
to the cession of the Chinese Eastern
railroad to China.
After today the peace plenipotentia-
! ries are to be served with their break
fast in their dining room at the naval
stores building, at the navy yard.
Heretofore a luncheon and afternoon
tea had been served in-the dining
room, and the arrangement has proved
very attractive.
The menu for breakfast is printed
in French and sets forth an array of
dishes calculated to please an appe-
tite of the widest variety.
Breakfast will be ready each morn.
ing at half past 8 o'clock, and it is
the intention to have the meal con
cluded so that the session of the con
ference may begin at 10 O'Clock.
The trip of the ENJOYS from the
hotel to tho navy yard this morning
was very disagreeable on account OF
the steady rain. which the Japanese
Representatives in their open automo
bile were uncomfortable.
The morning session of the peace
commissioners of Russia and Japan
today ended at 1 o'clock During the
entire time the discussion was upon
article Z Of the peace terms, which
refers to the cession of the Chinese
Eastern railway to China.
The following statement of the con-
ference was made by Mr.. Korostevetz
at the close of the morning session:
In the morning sitting of Aug. 16,
the conference has taken up the dis
cussion of Article T. The discussion
not having been finished, the confer
ence has taken recess at 1 o'clock.
The session will be resumed at g.
THE exchange of views this morn
ing was of d very earnest character,
and it is expected that the discussion
of article will consume all the after
noon session. Indeed, at Ghe time
the ENJOYS adjourned for luncheon,
they were not at all certain that they
would be able to complete the discus
sion today.

Toxic, August 1G-The Asahi, in

fit Japan much, but it would greatly
assist the development of American

The old bear seemed to be giving her
cubs lesson III climbing trees. She
would take one, lead him up 10 a tree
and encourage the cub to try to crawl
up the trunk If the little fellow was
backward about making the attempt the
old mother would actually spank him
TWO or three times with her paw, for all
the world as a mother might do a child
The other cub was put through the same
course of training and spanking. When
the lesson was finished the two tiny
