any need for a guard, save to keep away
crowds of inquisitive visitors. Thf
nn'miners l.sve six-ut much time in writ-

that some statement of the bottom fact
of the crime would be miule public. liih
Walker was asked to make a statement
but he replied in a dignified and well
worded note that a statement could not
possibly benefit him nor comfort lm
friends, and that after he was hanged il
should never be said of iiill Walker thai
he weakened, or tried t cai-t any dis
credit on the evidence of the, x.r wo

John .Matthews talked somewhat ex
ritedly while putting on the neat block
suit in which lie was to make his exit
from all that is mortal. He exhorted
the gathered listeners at the grated w in
dow. He expressed his hope of salva
tion in the world to come and protested
lis innocence of any premeditated
crime.
At half-past 9 the jury and severs,
clergymen and reporters were admitted
to the inner juilyard, from which a holt
had been cut in the brick wall through
tli9 back end of the jail. At 9:144 dohc
Matthews' voice was heard in loud ex
hortation. A few moments after, the
three prisoners walked through the iui!
steadily aud composedly, and ascended
the steps, liev. Home read a passage
of scripture and a hymn, and the pris
oners joined in the singing, broken by
i lions exclamations from Matthews,

The death warrant was read, and the
prisoners were asked in turn what state

called londly mon heaven to witness his
innocence of any premeditated crime.

the three men into eternity. Then en
sued a most fearful scene. The rope
yielded so much that the feet of both
the Walkers touched the ground, and
their necks were not broken. The
bungling noose around Bill Walker'
neck slipped and stretched. His head
pulled through and he fell moaning and
praying to the gronnd, where he lay
rolling and lamenting for three minutes.
Dave Walker in the meautime had
been lifted up and the rope shortened.
He was left to die of strangulation.
Poor Iiill was picked up anil carried to
the trap, which conld not again be
sprung until the others were dead and
cut down. John Matthews' neck had
been broken by tho fall. In sixteen
minutes Dave Walker was nron rum .,!

had snt iion the scaffold supported by
(Sheriff Johnson, moaning occasionally
and saying to the sheriff: "Knr U.u

Again he was placed upon his feet, and
at 10:10 the fatal trap again fell, and
again the horrible scene, intensified a
hundredfold in horror, was repeated.
Stout-hearted men irrew faint m

The most deenlv raliet; -t

the body of John Matthews was driven
by the jail yard and his faithful wife
and aged mother climbed hi aud sat be

feel the necessity of, or lie ieruitted to

for Bbelter; the wolf of want must, iu
common decency, be driven from the
door ot the maimed and dismuuxl vet

their lives." After giving some statis

receiving from $1.00 per month to $.'575

"For twenty years, and under vary
ing circumstances, I have plead the
cause of my comrades who wore

only to plead, but now 1 am thankful
that at these finger-tips there rest, some
power, and as that power is mine I
broadly say that I prottose, just as soou
as possible, to call in every one of the
certificates of tension, the figures of
which I have named, and reissue them

w York dispatch: Tbe senate com
nut tee, which is ime-atigating the work
ings of the inter state commerce lav
and the matter of Canadian road, dois
bosinea in and with this country, re
sumed its labors this morning.
Tbe first witness c!!?d was Charts,
Francis Adams, president of the Caios
Pacific ro J. Adam thought the Inter
state commerce Jaw ia many case, a,
erne: one. Those who obeyed, it l.t bj
its ojera?ion, and thoee who evaded it,
profited. "I shonld like, however, to
see it universally obeyed and given a
fair trial.'' b said, "and since January
1, I really believe, the law has been bet
ter obeyed than ever before. I know
for instance, that large shippers, who
heretofore hsve practically dictated
their terms, can do so no longer. The
inter-state commerce rommimiionert, I
think, are doing a good work, and I am
glad to mi they nroceed cautiously and
deliberately. This investigation, too, it
coing ahead as rapidly as iosib'lL
Publicity is a good remedy for many of
the evil, which we are seeking to nuti
gate, and he greatest service the inter
state commissioners conld do the rail,
roads in general, would be to protecate
some oft lie offender. Nothing would
have a lietter tffuct on the situation.
Since the first of the year, however,
rate, have leen very well maintained."
Mr. Adam, thought a common rail
road law between Canada and the United
State, and a legalized pool would be a
good thing and would teud to brinj
alKint a solution of the present trouble
in reference to the Canadian roads.
"If yon think the inter state law is t
good thing then where doe all the op
position coine from?" aaked Senator
Blair.
"You mnst remeralxfr the country
has been built on a system of dl.tnha
tuin, which the inter -state law shake, to
its foundations, and tho long and short
haul clauses give iu effect to the smaller
cities many of the advantage, hereto
fore; ecluively enjoyed by the larger
cities. u 1 the consequence is in a city
liko S.111 Francisco, the opposition u
very strong."
" Then it is a question of whether the
smaller town shall be enslaved by the
larger ones, or the larger one. give tip
some of their prestige to them?" asked
Senator Blair.
"Enslave is a strong word," said Ad
ams, ' but without a question what il
taken from one goes b the other."
In conclusion the witness said that
white nominally president of the I'nion
Pacific railroad, he really knew very
little of its practical workings and re
ferred to member, of the Union Pacific
executive ataff at Omaha.
At 11:) the stand was taken by
Thomas Lyman Green, a transort
tion eirt of this city. Green had no
objection to a legal pool, but wanted
the merchant, to have some voice in
fixing the rate..
At 1 o'clock the committee took a r
cvsji until 3.
President Hill, of the Ht Paul, Min
neaolu & Manitoba railroad, was the
first witness called after reooas. He
gave an account of the probable route
of the future between Asia and Europe.
Tbe Canadian I'aciflo road, he said, had
a fast line of steamer running from its
western terminus to Asia, and from it
eastern terminu. to Liverpool.
"Is there much foreign trade, Asiatic
trade, coining over the Canadian Pacific
road?" asked Chairman Cullom.
"Conaidarahle. Soma come over our
rood, destined for Omaha."
"Why doe. it take such a roundabout
course?"
"Proliebly Wansfl 5 or 8 cent, a hun
dred ixiiinds is an inducement We have
a differential rate, and the time i. no
object. Jt rwy to Uke ad vantage of the
lower rale."
Erastus Wiman .Kike strongly in
favor of commercial reciprocity. Any
attempt to shut out Canadian line, from
orw-rating in this country would le
serious blow to western American farm
er., and would 1ms badly received by the
Canadian jieople.
"Is it jKilicy for tho American toople,"
asknd Senator Blair, "to help, with
their resources, to build up a great na
tion with a hostile, or t least an alien
connection on tho uorth e.f us."
"1 he tie that bind. Canada to Eng

Canada cannot stay as she is. She must
