Bat Vain Appeal to Qorernor Morton for Ezecnttve Clemency Death Ensue t the End of Fifty Eight Second. Snro 8nro, N. Y., July 2. Dr. Robert W. Buchanan, the wife murderer, was electrocuted here this morning. Witnesses entered the execution chamber at 11:13; the current was turned on at 11:21 at 11,740 Tolts for four seconds, reduced to 400 volts, left on for thirty seconds, when it was turned on to 11,740 volts again, and KB. BUCHANAN. gradually reduced until it was turned off, fifty-eight seconds after it was first applied. Buchanan's leg was slightly scorched and smoked during the last few seconds of the execution, and but for this, the witnesses could hardly have realized that anything out of the ordinary was happening. The body was perfectly motionless after the current was turned on. Buchanan entered the room with eyes closed, and did not open his eyes at all. He walked along beside the at tendant without assistance to the chair. When Buchanan awoke this morning after a few hours of troubled sleep he realized for the first time that the day of his doom had arrived. Several times in his remarkable fight for life he had been as near the hour Bet for his ex ecution as he was Sunday night, hut always some act of executive clemency or some legal maneuver intervened to grant him a new respite. Last night no such good news reached him, but he knew before he retired that his fate was still in doubt. A faint hope still remained that the latest effort of his lawyers to save him from the fatal chair might, in the opin ion of the attorney general, entitle him to another chance to have his case reviewed by the courts, but while the doomed man slept the following mes sage came to Warden Sage, in answer to a query, and made his duty plain: "I do not think the last proceedings operate as a stay. Have no further ad vice to give. T. E. Hancock, "Attorney General." The final preparations for the execu tion were begun under the direction of State Electrician B. F. Davis, who ar rived from New York on the first train. Dr. Buchanan did not retire until 2 o'clock and did not remove his clothes then. He awoke at 6:30. At 7:30 he called for a bowl of milk. An hour later, when Warden Sage entered with the condemned man's spiritual adviser, the warden informed Buchanan of the tenor of the attorney general's dispatch and notified him that In accordance with the opinion of the law department of the state, it would be necessary to carry out the sentence of the court. Buchanan ex pressed no surprise. The warden soon withdrew and had scarcely reached his office before he received the following message from Mrs. Bucdanan from Rhinecliff, N. Y.i "All pleadings vain. Governor can not possibly interfere. Annik Buchanan." Mrs. Buchanan, first and also third wife of Dr. Robert W. Buchanan, the condemned wife murderer, went to Poughkeepsie last night to make a last appeal for her husband. At 6 o'clock this morning she went to Ehinecliff, Governor Morton's home, and, secur ing entrance to his private office, sank on her knees before the governor, and pleaded for her husband's life, though her grief almost prevented her from speaking. Governor Morton was plainly overcome by the woman's pleading and tears, and tears stood in his eyes as he lifted her to her feet and told her that he could not grant her request. Seldom, if ever before, in the history of criminal procedure in this country, was there such a determined and un tiring legal fight made to save or pro v long the life of a condemned murderer is that in behalf of Dr. Buchanan. He had practically been on the threshold of the death chair no less than three times when respited. On two of these occasions his life was prolonged by the clemency of Governor Morton, who granted a respite of one week at the earnest solicitation of the prisoner's wife, and the other was owing to legal technicalities, among others an appeal to the United States supreme court and the British ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncef ote. 9100 REWARD $100.

Toledo, O. -VSold by Druggists, 75c f - it Theui RUSSIA AFTER THE JAPS. Indication Seem Good for Another Orien tal War Boon the Crar (letting Kredy. Tacoma, Wash., July 2. The Nor wegian steamer Oscar IL, which ar rived yesterday, eighteen days from Vladivostock, Siberia, brings news that the indications are good for an other Oriental war. Unknown to the outside world, Captain Anderson of the steamer says, Russia has massed 80,000 men at Viadivostock, and it is believed in Siberia that preparations are being made for an advance on Japan. Cap tain Anderson says: "Russia has been secretly but actively at work, and in the event of trouble with Japan is preparing to hurl a formidable navy and land force into the .coveted territory which Japan has wrestled from China. These ships and troops have been massed at Vladivostock, where the scene is decidedly warlike. The entrance to the harbor at Vladivo stock is planted full of torpedoes, and no vessels are allowed to pass in or out without Russian naval officers on board, as well as experienced Russian pilots who know where the torpedoes are planted. My vessel was escorted in this manner, both going in and com ing out of the harbor. Inside the har bor the entire Pacific fleet of Russian warships is massed, ready to steam down the coast at a moment's notice. On shore 80,000 troops have been con centrated, and the evidence is clear that Russia is fully prepared for trouble in case the Japanese give any occasion for it." APPEAL TO MOTHERS. Mrs. Sadie Hatch Ask Aid to Save Her Boy From the Gallows. Topeka, Kan., July 2. Mrs. Sadie W. Hatch, mother of Clyde Mattox, who is in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth under sentence of death, has issued an appeal to the mothers of Kansas, asking them to petition Presi dent Cleveland for a pardon for her son. "I am the most miserable of mothers," Bhe says. "Heartbroken, penniless, and in the depth of my an- guisn i make this appeal to your hearts as the one solitary hope now left me. I believe my boy is innocent. At this grave time, when I implore mercy, it is not for me to impugn judge, jury or witnesses. I have had enough trouble to blot out heaven. I do not know what to do nor where to turn. It mav be my extremity, and it may be a God who answers prayer, that leads me to ask you to importune the president for mercy, as only mothers can, and he maybe can be saved." Big- Mine In LeadvUle Flooded. Leadville, Col.. July 2. The bier Rex mine was drowned out yesterday and there is now over 250 feet of water in the shaft. All the workmen made their escape. These people have spent thousands of dollars in sinking and pumping the plant. They were pump ing over 75,000 gallons an hour when the flow commenced to increase and drove them up level by level from the Douom, d05 feet. Ore, believed to be very rich in gold, was just being en tered when the mine was flooded. It is likely a mammoth pumpincr plant will be put in and the shaft drained at once. Atchison Will Protest.
