April 0. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to TUB Bur. . 1 An electrocu
tion in America is just as Interesting to tha
European public as to tbo American , The
Herald has drawn the attention of Europe
ans to the electrocution. I made a few notes
this morning of what I had seen of the exe
cution of Anastay , nnd they will show the
difference between the way justice Is sdram-
Istcrcd In Europe and America.
Baroness do Lard was assassinated on
December 4 , last , in broud dn , iu her apart
ments on the boulevard du Temple. Her
throat was cut and her nurse was very
seriously wounded. The police investigated
and finally brought homo the crime to
Anastay , who had been a lieutenant in the
Filtccuth regiment of the line stationed nt
Lyons. Ho was dismissed from the army on
November 1 , arrested for murder on Decem
ber SI and condemned to death February 22.
So much for the crime and the detection of
the assassin.
U ho interest surrounding tbo murder was
greater than J ual In such ca < cs , because of
the social position of the parties. Anastay
was tbo son of a druggist nnd was educated
in the military school of St. Cyr. Ho made
no ccfcnso on the trial , merely saying to bis
Judges : "I have lost the game in which my
hcud was tbo stake , but I will pay the pen
alty with courage. "
Just llclbrc He Died.
1 am curious to know what bo would say
before ho died. The police allowed only u
few persons near the place of execution so as
to avoid scandal or trouble. I asked the
prefect of policy , M. Loze , to let mo know
the time of execution. Half an hour after
midnight of Friday I received a card from
M. Groin , chief of police , saying : "It is for
this morning , at 5:15. " Nobody had ooy
sympathy for the criminal , j , however , ex
perienced forno emotion when I saw
those few words written in pencil
op a Email card , showing that the man
was fctlll alive , but would bo numbered with
the dead in less than flvo hours. His end
was near , human justice had docidcd that ho
must die.
The scene of the cxocution is distant from
the center of Paris. It was before La
Koquetto prison in a street loading to tbe
como'ory of Pero li Chaise , well known to
strangers going to visit the tomb of ccle-
Drntea Parisians lyinir there in eternal sleep.
As I started at 2 o'clock a brilliant moon
ehcd Its peaceful light over the city. The
nous of the coming execution seemed to
have bcon spread throughout Paris. All
nlong'the route I took crowds wcro bending
their steps toward the prison. There were
many constables along the route , nud I saw
them arrest ono man in u long white blouse
who was singing n great deal too loudly.
Arriving at the street leading to tbo prison
I found 2,000 or U.OOO people promenading in
tbc center of the thoroughfare , whlco was
lined by sergeants do vlllo. All these people
will BCC nothing. I showed my card to an
Inspector of police and bo scrutinized it very
closely. Then be allowed mo to pass a bar
rier Just Ilka these ut tbe entrance to thea
ters.
Wlieru He Died.
Within the gate of the prison wore thirty
counted potlccmoc sitting immovable. Be
fore tbo door was the usual sentry. There
was not a light in the prison windows. All
was silence. Only from tbo distance caino
tbo noise of the assembling crouds outside.
Ju the enclosure where 1 stood wcro about
i00 ! Journalists , dopution , detectives anO
police ofllcluls. There is not the least emo
tion , so fur , evident. At 3 o'clock there came
from tbo cemetery sldo four scr-
KcantB do vllle , followed bv two
largo vehicles llko circus wogons. It Is the
Guillotine. With them are men clothed in
black with high hats. Behind the second
vehicle walks a man with a haugy head o ;
hair and grey mustache , looking like an olc
oldicr He Is Dcibler tbo oQlcial
( , , ex-cxocu-
tioucr for the whole of Franco.
Tbo wagons slop m front of the prison
nnd silence falls upon tbo crowd , for it is un
derstood that death is within those wagons.
" " " Kroctlnjf the Machine.
Tbo assistants enter the vehicles and
emerge in blue blouses just llko ordinary
workmen. They carry out two high wooden
posts , souio plauks and ropes , and begin the
carpenter work. Del bier walked up anil
down , but nobody spoke to him. Ju
about twenty minutes tbo culilo-
line was ready , and tbe executioner
then went for the knife , which is carefully
wrapped in cldth , and put it DO between the
two posts. Ho worked It up and down to
eo that everything was in good order. Ho
did everything calmly and iu tbo most
natural way. Au assistant next put a basket
in front of tbe guillotine.
Into this Is to fall tbo bead after Its sever
ance from the body. The executioner looked
at overytnlng , and then said : "Very well. "
It was the tint time his voice was heard
since iho beginning of bis gruesome work.
Tbo executioner's assistants take of )
their blouses and walk about with their
chief , who smokes a ciirarotte. Later on the
murmur Increases outside the prison wall
and tbo dtn\n begins to break. Presently B
vehicle draw * up and a judge and his sec
tary , both pule , In black garments and while
cravats , like people returniue from a tolrer ,
tcp out. Tbcu another vehicle arrives wltc
tbe rhaplaln , Abba Vulidlor. Ho shakes tbe
liauds of the Judge , looks at tlio guillotine ,
nd shakes his head , Silouco still reigns as
Iho Uy grow * rosier.
In the Pretence of Death ,
Suddenly everybody looks up , A klto U
fllylog in the air , heaven knowr whenoo It
came. The llttlo gate opeulDg upon tbe
jilaoo swing * back and a policeman vanishes
eraani : bis comrades. It wants five minutes
Cf 6. Deltler approaches the Judge , hat Io
und , and at this moment tbo chief 61 po-
Ice gives the si/n for the privileged few to
inter the prison. The gate closes behind us.
il. Bcouq josnc , Iho director of tha prison ,
s awaiting the procession.
First come the wardens of the prison. Then
ho director , cxocutloner , judges and eight
vltncsses. Arrived In front of the cell , the
cortcco halts. The director enters. Anastay
s awake.
"Toko courage , Anastay , " said the dlrcc-
.or. "Tho 'president has not considered
'avcrablo the petition for clemency , Tbo
Inal moment hks come . "
"I urn at your service , gentlemen. " mur
mured AtiasUv , whoso face was absolutely
livid.
Tbo wardens hand him his stockings nnd
help him to put on tbo trousers , which ho
wore when arrested. Then ho remains alone
For n few moments with the chaplain.
Dciblor awaits him In the ball.
On his way out Anastay says very dis
tinctly : "There Is a letter for my brother In
the drawer of the table. "
Not another word did ho utter on this
earth.
Our I.nst nnil Only Tear.
Detblcr's ' assistants bind him with long
cords , compelling the condemned man to
nnrch slowly. Then they roughly thrust
its elbows behind his back and bind them
together , tbo cords crossing the shoulders
and meeting at tbo wrists , and the ro-
sillt being that the prisodor's chest
is pushed forward while lib shoul
ders are depressed. Anastay , who
has his head bent , raised It suddenly just
then and a big tear mils down Ms cheek.
Dclbler .hen arranges the shirt at the uock ,
so it will net interfere with tbo knife , and
Anastay trouiblcs. A plcoJ of tbo linen fftlh
to tbo ground , leaving the neck entirely ex
posed. The chaplain asks him if bo wants
It , A negative sign with bis baud without
moving his limbs is the answer.
\Vlillj the necessary formalities in regard
to the certlflcMto of execution are going on
the chaplain pravoJuith the condemned
man.
His I.ist Ilccord.
Hero Is the ccrtlficato.
Tno individual known as Anastay was
handed over to tbo criminal executioner nt
5 o'clock on the the morning of April 0 , 1MJ2 ,
by virtue of a warrant signed by the pro-
cureur general and dated April S , 181' . ! .
At the end of the document was the execu
tioner's ' uamo , signed in Deibler's large
handwriting.
It Is clear daylight now. A mlnuto passes
ana then the gro'it door of the prison is
opened. The gendarmes draw their
swords and as the procession comes in
view all the spectators remove
their bats. The distance fioin the door to
the scaffold is only ten yardu , but it seemed
to take fully ten minutes to travel that dls-
tanro. At the head of the procession comes
Dcibler , who seems to be moro agi
tated than is his wont , and then ,
surrounded and supported by tbo execu
tioner's assistants , comes the condemned
rain who Is n piteous object , with bis livid
faco.Vith his shorn hood and smooth
chin and lips , ho looks very much , like a
piarrat. He has a loose coat over bis shoul
ders and manifestly ho is doing his best to
keep up his courage. He pauses for Iho mil
lionth fraction of a second , almostsmiles. .
but thuti be lowers bis eyes at the sight of
the knife which gleams brightly m the full
daylight.
On Ktornlty'h Threshold.
At last tbo platform is reached and an
assistant at once rou hlv removes the loose
coat. Then Abbo Valaulcr embraces the
condemned man twice , and as ho loosens his
hold , Anastay is pushed upon the plank. The
lunette drops with a dull thud and then the
knifa { alls witU a sound like that of a diction
ary falling upon a floor. Lots of blood spurts
out , stulning tbc cuillotlno.
Taking the vessel in which tbo head has
fallen off , the assistants proceed to place the
body in o closed casket , which is then placed
m u wagon. The entire proceedings lasted
tlfty-seuen seconds.
Surrounded by four gendarmes with
drawn swords and followed by the chaplain's
carriage the wagon was dnvcu up the rue
KoQiiutto , and tbom went ut full speed
toward the Kuay cemetery. All was over.
Tbo people , who did not see anything , broke
loose and in spite of the police , there
was a good deal of shameful disor
der. H seemed as though a popular
festival were in progacss , and as though the
people , after being compelled by this awe of
death to maintain silence for two hours , felt
themselves aam in need of relaxrlion.
J'hlloitonlir und Morals.
It is twenty mlhutos past 5 o'clock , and as
we returu to Paris wo only mention whether
the death penalty producei uny moral effect.
Little sympathy has been shown for Algr.
D'Hulst. In the Chamber of Deputies to
day the minister of the Interior was ques
tioned in regard to tbo recent socialist Uls-
turoauccs Iu the churches , and , after M.
Loubut , president of tbo council ,
has replied , M. Hicord , minister
of tbo interior , mad a strong anti-clerical
statement , which was warmly applauded by
tbo Chamber. Finally a vote was taken and
M. Kicard' * statement was approved of by a
vote of 317 to 10.- .
The government is very proud of its vic
tory and has ordered that M fllcards speech
bo publuhod.
The only question now Is whether the gov
ernment will bo able to show tb same ma

LOXKON , April II. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tus cn.J There Is noth
ing that tbc House of Common ! likes bettor
than personal scones of any kind. It had hau
two or three during the past week which
have bcon very successful. It spent the
whole of Thursday discussing what should
bo aono with ono of its members anil three
other persons who huvo boor , gulty of broach
of privllogc. Everybody engaged in tbis
business mule : a miserable mass of it except
Mr. Gladstone and too speaker. Hour after
bour was cousumed in uu'lignlfloJ ' wrangling ,
llttlo calculated to retain tuo honor or dig-
nicy of Purlianiont.
Mr. Gladstone , in a spojch of remarkable
sagacity and power , endeavored to put the
house on the rieht track , but a largo section
of bis own followers , a ? usual , rjfussd to
abey him. What is ha goins to do with this
unruly bordo wben , it over , ho returns to
power ! They decline to accept his leader
ship , even on a matter of parliamentary pro
cedure , concerning which he speak with an
authority no other min can posses * . With
these rebellious spirits and a section
of the Irish members , who vow
vengeance against Mr. Gladstone for the do-
structiou of Parnoll , it will bo seen that
even if the iioerals gained a majority at the
next election , their hold upon ofllco would be
very precarious. A few years ago a speech
made by Mr. Gladstone on this privilege
question would have settled the matter. On
Thursday it went for Httln or nothing. It is
a disorganized mob that the veteran states
man has behind him and not a disciplined
party.
Hreakers Looming ; Up.
\Vlillo all this mummery Is going on the
excessively dangerous complications which
are daily growing up in Ejrypt are com
pletely overlooked by both political pit-ties.
Lord Salisbury has gone abroad for tbo
Easier recess and most of his colleagues
will shortly do tbo same. Meanwhile Turkey
is playing a peculiarly snbtlo game , ob
viously for the purpose of bringing .pressure
to bear upon England to got out of E ypt.
We bear nothing of it except through the
press , no information being vouchsafed to
Parliament. It is a literal fact that but for
tbo speclil dispatches of the New
York Hernia and the London Times wo
should not bo aware of tbo hostility which
tbe sultan is showing toward tbo new khedive -
dive , though less towird htm than toward
tbc English , who are backing him up.
Lord Salisbury means to stand fast by his
present position , but if Franco supported the
attitude taken by the- sultan thora would bo
a ciisis that would demand the immediate in
terference of Parliament.
J'lirllaiiii'nl In the I.irk.
No correspondence , no paper of any Kind
bus been luid oeforo us. If Turkey is playIng -
Ing raoroly a game of brag , it does not much
mutter whether wo kcop in this trulv
Egyptian .darkness or not. But the rumor in
well Informed circles is that every move
made by the sultan lias been carefully
planned in combination with either Kussla
or France , or both. In that case the English
occupation of France mar have at any mo
ment to bo defended by force of arms , or bo
abandoned altogether.
Which course is Lord Salisbury prepared
to take ?
He will not say , and consequently the sit
uation grows more ana more grave , and Par
liament is spending the time in fussy debates
about broach of privileg ? .
Not So finny Alter All.
I understand on good authority that the
most recent calculations of the liberal wire
pullers In reference to the general election
are not favorable to Mr. Gladstone. If they
are to cherige tbo minority into a majority
they will have at 'east eight seats to win ,
and nobody can yet discover where they ara
to come from. Tbo agricultural counties
may supply tome , but London , on which the
Uludstonian hopes are chietiy fixed , is likely
to remain in tbo bands of the conservatives ,
There is no enthusiasm otiy nbcro for
Irish homo rule. The English people
take no real interest in the
subject , a fact which Mr. Gladstone has
never realized. That led to his defeat in
lb-50. Nearly all the seats bo requires must
be won In England , for Ireland , Scotland and
Wales can give few , if any more. The
present outlook is that ho cannot obtain the
requisite number , and bis ablest agents do
not dare to hope for a majority of raoro than
twenty. With that bo could not remain In
power tbreo weeks.
Tbis will explain why Mr. Gladstone
makes no attempt to force on R dissolution of
Parliament and why tbo wiser section of bis
followers look with some uneasiness on tno
prospect of going to the people under any
circumstances this year.

Utiu.ix , April ! . ' . When the Landtag re
assembles on April i3 ! an important regroup
ing of tbo parties will ba effected. Tuo
negotiations for a rearrangement now pro
ceeding point to a coalition of tbo moderate
conversation faction , headed by llerr
Helldort and Hauchopt , with the liberals ,
which will result In the formation of a cartel
party , having some of the best elements of
the old cartcllors. The split botweou the
ultra conservatives and the moderates has
practically destroyed tbo conservative ma
jority in thi Landtag and also places the
party nt the tremendous disadvantage of hav
ing disordered ranks at the approach ol the
general election. Trerc is no mending tbo
breach , the declared divergence in prlncloles
being too pronounced. Partisan virulence is
already keen. If a coalition Is effected it
will bo adopted us a basis of promising
strength , the government , thjowlng its influ
ence on its side , will follow its
policy on a distinct national liberal -
oral basis. The frelslnnigo party re
joices at seeing the other party
disintegrated. The men who support Hell-
dorf are very woik. Tbo bulk of the con
servatives continue in consonance with the
centrists on the primary education bill and
await a chance to avenge themselves on the
government for abandoning that measure.
After iho Easter holidays the leaders will
announce a new program , which Is being
elaborated , the spirit of which is shown in an
uJdivss to Minister Von Sedlltz , signed Dy
sUty-hvo members of the upper housa of the
Prussian Diet , cxprosEint : gratitude for his
defense of the conservative principles.
The public takes the political uncertainly
quietly , though the- situation is pregnant
with eventful issues. Even the reports of
Chancellor von Caprivi retiring after Easier
in favor of Count Von Eulonbeig do not stir
iho general pulse.
Socialists 1'reparliif ; lor "May Day.

tbo authorities. At a council of the minis
ters Chancellor von Caprivi proposed to In
fluence the employers to refuse the men a
holiday if the celebrations nro organized for
Monday , May _ ' , instead of Sunday. The
Austrian socialists who have decided to hold
their demonstration on tbcnd desired the
Germans to bold a simultaneous celebration
on that day.
Mr. Miguel advised his colleagues to treat
the day as a recognized labor holiday , and If
the celebration was held on Monday to close
the government -dories. . Dr. Miguel even
supRcstcd that the prices at the theaters bo
ordered by the government to bo reduced
and that the military bauds bo ordered to
play in the public gardens. The other min
isters did not go us far as Dr. Miguel wanted
them to , but they agreed not to oppose the
demonstrations.
Tbo socialist leaders have Incurred tbo ill-
will of the Austrian socialists by re using to
make Sunday uud Monday holidays.
Mar day proper alone , will bo celobrdtep
In Germany , in Berlin a number of meetings -
ings have been arranged for and the public
gardens and suburban resorts will be filled
with great crowds of workIngmen ana their
families , celebrating the day. There will bo
no big party processions. If the nnarchis'c
attempt to create a disorJcr they will meet
with instant and severe repression.
In Vienna Sunday will bo celebrated by an
assemblage in the Prater to dUcuss the eight
hour question. Another section proposes to
hold a procession , tno participants to bo at-
tlrod in blue blouses. Throughout Austria ,
with the exception of Vienna , the celebra
tions will DO held on Monday. The want of
cohesion among the Austrian socialists will
weaken the effect of the demonstration.
In Pcstb the police have bcon ordered to
prevent all meetings and processions. The
socialists will therefore be compelled to bold
tdclr demonstrations outsldo the city bound

ng-icutof ' "tbe' mooting -of - tbe-i-Sbcluty of'
Christian Endeavor to be held in N\3w York
nextJuiv. The action of the Michigan Cen
tral , the Lake Shore and the Pennsylvania
roads in announcing an ? j rate from Chicago
to New York and return for that occasion
has caused the dilteiential lines to declare
themselvns. General Passenger Agent Kob-
crts of iho Krlu road said toduv : "We shall
maintain our $2difT < uentiul whatever the reg
ular linen muy make. The Baltimore &
Unio , I am told will do tno same lliini ; and I
have no doubt that will bathe iwlicv of all
the differential linos. "
The strong lines claim that iu announcing
the rate they are only carrylnuouttbo urue-
inont arrived ut in regard to this business
that the lowest first class limited fare for the
round trip should bo the rate by all roads.
The lowest first class liicitoJ rate , they con
tend , docs not mcun that of tbo road issuing

traflic.
Whatever there may bs In the rumor that
Marvin Hughltt , now president of tbo Chicago
cage & Northwestern road , is to lie made
president of the Union Pacific at the next
mueting of the stockholders , it is neither
confirmed nor denied by art } ono here who
might be supposed to speak with authority.
Outsiders are generally inclined to credit tbo
story. They point to the assertion that .lay
Gould has lost his crip on the Union Pacific ;
that Mr. Hughitt is alraady a director of
that company ; tbatJ. Pierrcpoint Morgan ,
who represents the Yanriorbilt people in tbe
management of Its affairs , and that thn
Vandcrbllts have long desired to control a
transcontinental. That tbo election of Mr.
Hugbltt to the presidency would mean a
practical consolidation of that road with the
Chicago & Northwestern under Vanderbllt
control , Is not questioned.
Chairman Klnloy of .ho Western Paison-
per association bus decided that the cut
rates now'in effect bjtwcou Chicago and tbo
Missouri rlvor points must not bu used by

the Chicago and Ohio river lines , except

Tronic Manager Busbonbarit of the Chicago
cage , St. Paul & Kansas City road objects to
this decision ai an Infraction of Iho law. in
his reply the chairman says : "In the ab
sence of a definitely settled application of
the law with respect to the through rates , it
would bo Improper tor any metnbor to seek
protection from independent action by an ex-
