Killing By Klectrlclly.
Boston, Mas.., Aug. 8.-The morning
papers comment on Keuimler's electro
cution as follows: r
Globe: The killing of criminals by
electricity appears to be a ghastly
feature. If investigation should fully
establieb the truth of the sickening
story that comes from the prison, there
will never be another legal killing by
electricity in this or any other country.
Journal: The relative humanity of
the new method, as compared with the
old, must turn upon the question wheth
er the prisoner was conscious during the
delay. The physicians present all agreed
that there was no suffering after
the first shock, and if they are correct
in that opinion the experiment may per
haps be regarded as measurably success
ful, though the results are hardly such
as to warrant a general adoption of the
new method. -

WASHINGTON NOTES.
ri for Krbraefc-a.
For some time past much difficulty
has been experienced by Senator Mand
erson and C-ngre-eman Dorsey in se
lecting a board of pension ex-miners for
Chadron. This difficulty has st last
been cleared sway, howeer, and the
names of Drs. Clary, Waller and A. M.
Jackson have been recommetided for ap
pointment People in and around the Grand I-land
land district have shown symptoms of
great alarm over the rum'i of a change
in the land district boundaries. It was
feared that it u-aa the intention of the
department to curtail the Grand Island
district for the advantage of some other
and Senator MaoderBon has baen inves
tigatigating tbe subject, lie finds that
this fear is groundless that there is no
occasion for alarm, as nothing of the
kin. is contemplated,
The commissioner of the general land
office agrees to allow an additional clerk
for the Neligh laud office.
On accouLt of his oSicial duties Sena
tor Manderson has been compelled to de
cline the invitation to deliver the ad
dress at tbe opening of the Grand Island
sugar palace in September. An invita
tion has been cent to the president to
take part in thia unique celebration and
the senator will do all in his power to
induce the chief magistrate to accept,
but be has not much faith that the
president will be able to get away. Sen
ator Manderaon said also that he will be
compelled to decline the invitation to
be present at tbe reunion of the soldiers
and sailors at Grand Island and that he
will have to deprive himself of the pleas
ure of taking part in the Grand Army
encampment at Boat jn next week.
Congressman Dorsey notifies his con
stituents that those who desire it can
be supplied with the agricultural report
upon application to him. He is now
getting ready to supply orders as fast as
they come ix A postal card or a two
cent stamp will get a copy of this work.
Mr. Watson Pickrell, special agent of
the agricultural department, bos been
here for a day or two in consultation
with the officials of the bureau relative
to bis work. Mr. Pickrell is looked up
on as one of the ablest men in this ser
vice, and bis suggestions olnnjs carry
great weight.
W. Boxler, of North Platte, w ho has
been here for some time fur the pur
pose of securing an appointment as a

WASHiaoroH, Aug. ft Representa
tive Morrow, of California, from the
committee on foreign affairs, reported
to the house his bill to absolutely pro
hibit the coming of Chicete
into the United States, whether sub
jects of the Chinese empire or other
wise. The bill propose j to all Chinese,
even those who may hereafter leave tha
United States and attempt to return,
excepting diplomatic and consular of
ficers and commercial agents, and the
coming of the Chinese to tbe United
States for transit is expressly prohib
ited. A fine of IM0 for each Chinese
brought to tbe United States is pro
vided for the punishment of tbe vessel
masters bringing them. Provision is
also made for the punishment of per
sons aiding Chinese to enter the United
States by-land or otherwise.
Chairman Hitt presented a minority
report dissenting from the favorable ac
tion of the majority upon the bill, as he
says it is in conflict with tbe treaty now
in force, to which the faith of the Unit
ed States is pledged and which declares
that tbe Uuited States may regulate or
suspend such coming or residence, but
may not absolutely prohibit it.
