Neither Mr. Platt or Gonoial Clancsou has suc ceeded in getting dclinito acquiescence or 10- fusal from Mr. Blnlno.

"Thoy firmly bollovo thnt under these cir cumstances Mr. Blaine will deem It his duty to accept , 11 not no harm will have been dona "That In n nutshell , is the plan agreed upon.

" lutimatious of this schema had bcon made In certain quarters hero suveinl times during the past week , but no ono would betiovo thnt It could possibly bo nrrwcd upon. No ono appeared to regard It possible that such an effoit to tiillo with a gicat nnmo and great man would be attempted , an action amount ing almost to party treason. It laicgnrc'ed ns the most audacious proposition over con jured up by the enemies of tbo parly , and Its announcement fiom Now YorK has crc- ntcd something of a sensation In icpubllcan circles and Is tbo cause of deep indignation , Unfair nnd Untrue. The latest move of the president's small band of opponents is the publication of what purports to bo n list of delegates to tbo Minneapolis convention who occupy fedcrnl offices. The list as n whole Is ridiculously fnlsp and misleading. Among its lirst promises is the announcement thnt Stnnton J. Peollo of Indianapolis , recently appointed n member of the United States court of claim- , was selected tor tbo ofllsinl position he occupies on account of being a delecnto to Minneapolis. It is represented In this pub lication thnt "Judge Peolle Isntixlousto go to Minneapolis ana iccipiocato the kind ness which has been shown him by working for tbo president's ronoininnlion , but the spectacle of a Judge lobbjinir lit a convention would bo nt such variant * ) with civil service reform ideas that Iho now nn- pointco is to be prevailed upon to send his alternate. " Not only does Judge Peollo hnvo no inten tion of.atteudlnB the Mlnneapolls'convontlon In the capacity of detonate or private citizen , tout ns soou as ho was nominated to the posi tion bo occupies ho notified his altornnto that ho would not attend the convention , nnd tt.o alternate has known for some weeks that fact. Strained for Their I'olnt. The statement propaied bj- the opposition hits very many times departed fiom the truth iu order to malto it appear thnt a largo number of federal officers are to attend the convention ns delegates. It Is u titsue of misrepresentation. For instance , it states tant Charles H. Murray , u census Runor * visor in Now Yoik , is to attend the convention as a fedcrnl delegate. Muniv WJH dismissed from thu federal service after his selection us n delegate nn act which thu president would hnvo prevented had ho been looking after federal delegates. It is stutcd that Henry B , Quimby of Lakoport , N. H. , a delegate , "IH u relative of General Bntchcldcr , who wns appointed quartermaster gcnornl of the nrmy by the president , and is now nddlng his efforts to these of ethers to sccuio Mr. Hairison's renomination. " General Batch- cider's appointment wns mndo long before Picsldent Harrison entered tno white house. In several Instances thcro aio recorded In the list of fedcrnl delegates men who are simply alternates and hnvo no intention of . attending tbo convention. A number of del egates nro recorded ns federal officers , w i.o nro only "related" to men in tiio employ of the government. In every cnso where a del- cgnta has hnd a contiact to do work for the government , such as surveying public lands , ho is icrordod as "federal oflluu holder. " Where the slightest rola'ion by blood , mar riage or business can bo traced tiotucen ucl- cgatcs or alternates nnd federal office holders or contractors imdci- the government they are put down as "federal delegates " The list wns prepared for use and influence nt n distance from Washington , for its nb- burdlty is so palpable to cveiy Intelligent person here that It at ouco becomes ridic ulous.

U. , May 22.--Tho senate has made such rapid progress with the regu lar appropriation bills that but two of the measures wblrh have boon sent to it by the house nwalt action. One of them the pen sion appropriation bill Is puiposoly held In committee and the other the diplomatic and consular it Is expected will bo reported to the senate and passed this woolr. The unfinished business is the bill to pun ish the violation of the treaty rights of aliens , but thn consideration of this measure may bo further delayed by the calling up of ono of the special orders. Thcro are tlaco of thcso orders , namely the s"k culture bill , the bill to llx the compensation of United States district attorneys and the revenue marine transfer bill. It is imposiible to predict the order m which tbcso measures \\lll bo taken up , de pendent as It Is on personal convenience of senntois and legislative oppoitunitio3 , but there Is n strong probability that the friends of the revenue intuino transfer bill may bo nblo to pet It oeforo the senate early In the week. Kesort will also doubtless - loss bo had to the calendar for ono or more days , with tbo icsultof mining to the ulieady largo number of sonata bills which sleep In lTo ( committee rooms of the home. In tlio House. The house of loiirescntatlves will assem ble at 11 o'clock tomoirow , with the sundry civil bill as unllnishcd business still pending , to the discouragement of tlio party managers , whnso previously bright hopes of bringing about n comparatively earl } ad journment ofoonciess linvo oeen seilously dimmed by the slow progress of this omni bus nppropiiatlon bill. TI'O hour of daily meeting1 , however , has been advanced ono hour , in the expectation of facilitating the transaction of business , and on effort will bo made to hasten the pro gress of the sundry civil bill and muko up some of the time lost on that measure by more piompt action tuan usual on the appro priation hills , \\hlcli for two weeks have boon waiting their turn to enter the hopper ot the national house. Thesomcasuics are the forllllcatlon and postoftlco appropriation bills , neither of which , us n rule , consume moro thun t\\o davs. tuoueh in view of the reductions reado in the bills this year , It cannot bn safely predicted that thov will got throuith on schedule time this session. The pissago of thcso bills , unless Mr , Hatch succeeds in the efforts ho will ninko to antagonize the fortification and postonico bills with the anti options bill ( with posslblv some titno gi\en to District of Columbia matters ) constitutes the pro gram of the majority for next weolr. With the passage" tncso appropriation bills only three moro will romam to bo acted on hi' the house the legislative , executive and the judicial , tiio ngrlcultural and the general deficiency appropriation bills , homo Comparisons. A comparison with the condition of the np- pioprianon bills for the loi'g session of tlio Fiftj-lirst congiess shows that at this tune lb)0 , there were unpassod by the house the following : The agricultural , Indian , post- ofllce. river and harbor , sundry civil and general deficiency appropriation bills six In all the exact , number that have not vet pabsod the scnato nt this session. The Fiftr- fir-a congress did not adjourn until late In October. But In considering the probabili ties as to the finaludjouinmontoftho prouont congress , the fact is to he boruo in mind that the policy of the present house is to pass the appropriation bills nnd adjourn , whereas the purpose of the republican majorltv In both houses of the Pin v-ilrst congress included the passage of the Mc'Ktnloy tariff act , the fcdcinl election law and other party measures , \\hoso con sideration took up mou of tbo time in the spring nnd summer , the appropriation bills giving way to thotn. It Is also osscntial to compiro the measures remaining unpassod. The river nnd harbor bill Is passed and Uu suiidiv civil bill soon \vill bo passed ; but the consideration of thcso two measures , the longest nnd most vexing to the patience of nartv mnnagois , had not been begun at this ditto in IbSO. An lliirly Adjournmrnt I'ossllile. The appropriation bills this year nro also bolter advanced in the house nf representa tives bv reason of the fact that the commit tee action on every ono of them , except the general deficiency bill , is piacticslly com pleted For these reasons an adjournment ot concress oarlv In Julv Is ntill entirely feasible. This possibility Is strenthcncd by the lanldlty with which the scnato has acted nnd is act ing on the appropriation bills ; but on ttui other hand , much time may yet bo consumed by the necessary conferences between the two houses repnrding scnato amendinints to thcso bills , nnd on the navil hill a especially protracted contest Is extremely probable.

Dooming was hanged ntuno mlnuto past 10 o'clocK this morning , With the execution of Dooming thcro ended the life of ono of the grcatcstciimiuals the woild has over seen. At the beginning of March last the police at Llorpool received a dispatch from the police nt Melbourne that tbo murder of a v.omsn had Just been committed at Windsor , n suburb of Melbourne , nnd from certain acts that hnd been revealed It was thought the Windsor murderer hnd killed another woman at Haln Hill , a suburb of Liver pool. The police of the latter piaco at once started aa Investigation , mid soon a most horrlolo crime was unearthed literally unearthed for beneath the honrtbstono of a residence known as Dinham villa , at Ualn Hill , there were found thu bodies , not only of a woman , but also the bodies of four little ehildicn , all of whom had boon burled In a pit that the murderer bad dug beneath the hearthstone , and after the caith had been thrown over them the surface was eotnoutod and the hearthstone rolutd , Iturlcil Undur tlio llonrthgtonc. It was soon learned that the house had bcon occupied by a man who had given bis name as Williams , but who , It was subse quently ascertained , wns f'redericlc ' Catloy Dooming , whoso family resided In Dirkon- head , across the liver from Liverpool. Will- lams , or to call aim by his right uaino , Deem ing , had tnarrloJ nt Hntn Hill young nnd beautiful girl , u Miss Emily Mather , and had sailed for Australia , and it was her body that bud been found at Windsor. She , too , bad been bulled under tbo hearthstone of the villa , and her grave was covniod with n uoatlnc of comout. The police inquiries into Deoming's career soon revealed that he was guilty of nearly , if not all , the ciinios In the calendar. Numer ous swindling transactions were traced to him , principally in mining lands. Detec tives followed him to England , where it was found ho was living in Biikcnhoad. The do- lectlvo gained admission to the house occu pied by Mis. Mailo Deeming and her turco dead ehildicn , whoso bodies have recently been found nt Uiin Kill thu fouilh not then being born. Deeming , however , evaded his pursuers nnd left Uirkenhead that inoining. Pursuit was continued , but Dooming alwuja managed to evade bis pursucis , In ono in stance cheapiinj bj Just se'vcn minutes. l.ooldiiK for Mctlnii in I.Uurpuol. Deeming later appeared in Liverpool under his alias of Williams. lie paid addresses to n number of Liverpool ladies , among them one who , fiom lib conversation about tbo "Jack the Kipper" crimes , became terribly nfiaid of him. Oao nighthc made an en gagement to take tea nt her homo , but he did not appear. It was Just about that time that ho appeared at ftain Hill , where his wlfo and family subsequently followed him. Shortly afterward Mrs. Deeming and the children disappeared , but Deeming baa represented tbo woman ns his sister and nothing was thought of their disappearance. It wns not long after tins that ho married Miss Mather nnd sailed for Australia. Dur ing tneir voyngo ho developed traits of thoughtfulness and consideration hardly In keeping with the clmtacter of the man as seen in the llyhtof subsequent developments. Ho doctoica the sick , and saved tidbits from his table for the sick steerage passen gers.

The subsequent faots in connection with the minder of the second Mrs. Deeming are of too recent date to need detailed mention. After Deeming had killed her ho became en gaged to a Miss ICato Hounsvilto , who was on her uav to the Southern Cross gold fields In \\cstAustralia gold fields to meet and marry him when sue Icarnodof his nrrostfor the murder of his flr t wife. A significant fact in connection with the proposed mar- liago was that Dooming had already secured n quantity of cement , that was found at his homo in the cold Holds , and this suggested in a startling manner that ho had already mailo preparations to kill and bury his brldo elect. That ho was guilty of many other crimes , including murder , is" believed by every one. lie was a J ill bird , having served sentence In Cuylund and Australia for theft and other offenses. When ho wns taken to Melbourne o as sumed a Jovial and careless nir , but at his trial ho showed In his manner tbo terrible mental strain ho was undergoing. After ho had been condemned to death ho made n speech , which was In pait ns follows : I ) omlii'H | Speech on Comlctlon. "I have not had a fair trial. It Is not tbo law that h trying me , but the press.

"Another objection I have to this trial Is that no time has been allownd to communi cate with \\ltnnssos in l ngland and India , H is not n pleasant thing to confess to dis ease , mental or ether who , but lain deter mined to do so in Jiiotlcoto myself and the community. For weeks together I hnvo suf fered lapses of memory. In my own mind I know I am not guilty of this thing. "My life is ruined.

I do not besltato to give up my life ; it would boa pleasure , I have fought the blacks on the /nmbcosl and buvo fought with lions single bunded. What is life to n man lilio mo , whoso prospects the newspapers nnd the puollc have blasted nnd ruined forovorl I do not expect Justice ; it is neither In the mind of tno judcos , or of the Jury , or of the public , toglvo mo n fair trial. The cnao should have bcon postponed two months to unable evidence to uo collected. Instead of ttiat the trial was fixed , by premeditation , to take placoata time when the public is enraged - raged against mo.1 Couromieil to Ono Murder , Ho confessed that ho hud killed his wlfo , Miss Mather. Ho appealed to the Vlctornn executive and to thu British privy council for a respite , butbotlt infused to interfere , and accordingly he to < lay paid the penalty of tbo law. Had ho cicapod Justice in Australia ho would Imvo boon taken to Uncland , whore ho would undoubtedly have boon hanged for the Haiti Hill murdeiv * . Deeming passed Suuduy in writing , calmly discussing nt Intervals his approaching doom. Ho btild ho had no Intontio i of muU- Ing a speech on the scaffold. Un tiuudav night ho thrco ! swallowed cageily a small allowance of spirits , nftor which ho slept soundly until ha was awakened nt 7 o'llck Mils ( Monday ) morning. Then for tbo lltst time slnco hit arrest the manacles on bis wrUts were removed , and smoking u tUar ho convoked with those around him. Ho declared that to was resigned to Im fate and hnd no fears In regard to the future. To the governor of the prison ho said that ho had rondo his peace with Uod , Ho persisted In denying that ho was guilty of the Ualn Hill murders , ho had never , ho declared , lout bis self control o ha had since bis arrival Iu Australia. Ho ex pressed grntltudo to til the prison officers for nil the kindness they hiul shown , and also to Mr. Lyle , the counsel and nil concern ed in bis defense. Ho Miid ho thought ho would not falter or tnixlcc soy sccno on the scaffold. A few minutes bofow the time sot for the execution Deeming wns allowed n glass of brandy , which ho axvallowod nt n gulp , aud ho was told that hu mlzlit have moro If the prison doctors ordered. The doomed trail wns then led to the gallows and In a few moments all was over. The drop was seven feet. The oxecutlon was witnessed by u largo gathering , ' including government nnd civil ofllclals , magistrates , police and clergy men , There was nn Iramonso crowd otitsldo the prison from an early hour in tno morning until Ion ? after tno , execution was over.
