N. Y. . May 8. Carlylc Harris ,
young mcdir-al student whoso trial ami
Bivlctlon In New York city for the poison-
' of Helen Potts , to whom lie had been
roily married , attracted so much atton-
ii , was electrocuted in the prison here at
I. to p , in today.
N'ot since the first execution by this
I'tliod , when four men Slocuin , Stnllcr ,
giro and Wood passed beneath the deadly
tetrodes , has such interest been displayed
Bro. Throngs of people gathered on the
llslde overlooking the gray prison walls ,
ough the only thing which they could hope
BOO in eon-oetlon with thu execution waste
to display of the black Hag above
ie tower after he had been officially pro-
Biunced dead. This morbid curiosity was
irtly accounted for by the fact that ho wns
10 Ural man of intelligence to dlo In the
Ricctrlo cliair partly to the wide publicity
iven to tbo rase in the newspapers , and
B.u'tly to questions of the man's guilt , though
Is to Die last , the rhir > f clement of doubt lay
i Harris steady assertion of Innncence.
Hivery possible effort was made to sectiro a
> vernal of the sentence , and that failing , to
I'ltie-o Governor Flower to mltigato the pun-
Blnnent , but without avail.
Mrs Harris remained at her hoarding
Bousecsiordav and did not go to thu prison.

Biy : afternoon 'i'he scene was ono of the

vhnso courage lias never halted and whoso
icllcf In the innocence of her r.on lias never
I altered , broke down in anguish before his
ell door anil wept. She prayed with her

Bind while the guards , hardened as they arc
to human suffering , tinned away with molst-
1-ncd eyes , the mother and bon kissed and
liarted for the last time.

Kind eon mot for the Hist time In years.
I Mr and Mrs. Harris have lived apart for

Ibis son once more before all was over. Ho
[ arrived Saturday mid wont at once to the
[ house where Mrs. Harris is stopplnc.
ll'alher and mother mot auam cm the eve of
the death of their llrst born. It was a sad
reunion. Mr Harris remained with his wife
land son Allan , until yesterday , when ho saw
C'arlylo and talked with him less than half an
hour.
Then the father took the train back to
ESyi-ncuMi. loaing Mrs. Harris and Allan to
wait. The last farewells to relatives having

B Contrary to tbo usual custom , the warden
minot \ \ \ read I ho death warrant to the eon-
'cinned ' man at midnight , but Harris had
icon told when the execution would take
'lace. Ho retired early last night , showing
nero evidence of excitement than usual , his
heretofore Iron nerves giving evidence of tlio
itraln in the unusual quantity of cigarettes
.0 binoiced. Ho slept little during the night
and rose early this n.ornlnjr , looking over
the inanusiTipt ho had prepared to bo given
to the press after his death. Ho scorned

later the fires were started under the boilurs
which operate the engine which runs the
dynamo furnishing the deadly agent of e.xe-

The death wairant was road nt ( ) : ; ! 0. The
reading had no visible effect < n the con-
Hdcmncd man. Half an hour later the prison
BV'haplaln called on him and then ono of the
medical examiners visited him. Ho was
showing some signs of nervousness but
nothing more.

S' , D. C. , May 8. The report of
the proceedings in the federal courts in Now
York on Saturday in what are known ns fho
Chinese exclusion cases was filed today in
the supreme court by Mr. T. D. Uiordan of
San Francisco , counsel for the Six ( Com
panies.
There are three cases In which petitions
are made for the issuing of writs of habeas
corpus In behalf of Chinese arrested and
held by John W. Jacobus , United States
marshal for tbo southern district of Now
York. The petitioners are Fong Yuo Sing ,
Wong Quan and Leo Jo. The record in the
case of Lee Jo shows that it Is intended to
test n separate point In the law , or at least
a construction of the law made by the col
lector of i internal lovenuo In New York.
The collector refused to accept a Chinese
witness as to the Identity of Leo Jo when the
latter applied for a certificate. The law re
quires the evidence of a white witness in
court , but is silent as to the nationality or
racial characteristics of witnesses before
the collector and it is said this point will
play an important part in the proceedings. A
decision in the case is expected next Mon
day.

WASIUSOTUN , D. C. , May S. The pres
ident's order closing the white house to
olllco seekers , formed the chief topic of con
versation among the politicians today. The
politicians say that the order will have the
effect of making a close corporation of the
patronage system by giving representatives
and senators the sole right to talk with the
president about appointments , and that the
president will thus be debarred from hear
ing the voice of the people at largo on the
fitness of candidates wit forward for ap
pointment to olllce.
In opposl .ion to these opinions , some argu
ments are advanced on the president's sltlo
of the case. It is urged that he has uorno
with patience the personal solicitations of
tlio people for two months ; that , as a matter
of fact , the personal presence of the apnli
cants is seldom necessary , paper and en
dorsements are filed and action is
taken upon the papers in the case
alone. There are times , of course ,
when the president would like to meet
certain men who are recommended for ap
pointment , but in that case ho can send for
them. It is argued that the denial of personal
interviews does not cut off the right of citi
zens to make endorsements or put forward
candidates. They may file all the papers
they wish to , and , when the question of fill
ing a certain ohlco comes up , the claims of
each applicant will be given attention.

LONDON , May S. Parliament today re
sumed the discussion of the home rule
bill.
Charles 13. Darling , coiiscrvitivo for Dopt-
ford , attempted to prove clause ono by re-
alllrming the supremacy of Parliament in
local as well as imperial matters.
Mr. Gladstone opposed the motion for the
reason that the supremacy of Parlamcnt
had been asserted sulliclcntly In the pre
amble.
Colonel Saunderson , the Ulster loyalist ,
argued that the amendment was not neces
sary to curb the predatory propensities of
the squalid Irish Parliament with a hungry |
executive "floating In whisky. "
Mr. Halfour , leader of the unionists , said
: hat the proposed amendment was a preface
: o future provisions , by which the imperial
I'arltament would bo enabled to control
local and personal affairs in Ireland.
Mr. Chamberlain , leader of the liberal
jnlonisls , declared it to bo n t-lntstor omen
: lmt the government was unwilling to accept
the amendment. If it were deemed desirable
o enforce the nupreinacy of tno Imperi'il
'arllamelit , then certainly that supremacy
ought to be first asserted. Ho himself did
lot believe that the government wished to
issert this supremacy. [ Conservative
cheers. ]
To s.iorton the debate , the Irish members
ibstained from speaking on Mr. Darling's
unendinelit , thouuli conservative speak
ers taunted them with exceptional malignity
'or the purpose of involving them in adiscus-
sion. After six hours had been talked away ,
Mr. Morley , chief secretary lor Ireland ,
moved the cloturo. His motion evoked op
position yells and cries of "Shameful 1" and ,
"Scandalous ! " to which the Iri-Oi members
responded : "Kemcmber what you did in
1887. "
The cloture was carried by a vote of 2111 to
I'.C. .
The amendment was lost by a vote of "ST >
to ! : .
Lord Handolph Churchill moved that tno
chairman of the committee report progress.
It was hopeless , ho said , to got fair play as
the business In committee was being con
ducted.
Mr. Gladstone resisted the motion , re
marking that he was not the author of the
cloture rulo.
Mr. Chamberlain said that ho could ap
preciate the prime minister's coolness.
When the worm was trampled It was not
the trampler who had reason to become ex
cited. Nevertheless the worm's feelings
might bo hurt.
Mr. Chamberlain closed with a fling at the
Irish , whom lie charged with discriminating
in support of.tho government.
"How much would it take to square you ? "
shouted William Pollard IJyles , a Yorkshire
liberal. Conservative shouts for an apology
followed. The chairman requested Mr.
Hyles to apole > gizo. but Mr. B.yles refused to
do so. More shouting and general disorder
swelled the uproar , above which could bo
heard indistinctly the protests of the Irish
members that Mr. Chamberlain was the ono
to apoIogUe llrst.
Eventually Mr. Gladstone interposed ,
calmed the members and drew from the
chairman a statement that he had misun
derstood the facts , and wished to withdraw
Ills request for an apology from Mr. IJyles.
The motion to report progress was then
rejected- : to M.
Mr. Halfour moved that the chairman
leave the chair. The motion was resisted
by Mr. Gladstone and was lost by a vote of
; WI to'J57.
When the monotony of useless contention
and division was resumed Chairman Mel-
lor's voice was noticeably hearse In consequence
quence of his strenuous , but ineffectual ,
efforts to make himself heard during the
worst of the confusion , caused by the IJyles
incident. The sitting dragged uneventfully
to the adjournment at midnight. The last
tno hours had been completely wasted in
futile squabbling and voting.

Bi'.KMN , May S. The division of the rad
ical ( frcisinnigo ) party has assumed per
manent form. The stronger contingent ,
under Kugeno Hichter , will bo known hence
forth as the radical peoples' party ( friesin-
nlgo volks partei ) , and will co-operato with
the south German democrats under Freldcr-
ich Payer , who made the bitterest ono of
the speeches on the last day of the Heidi-
stag , and Is opposed to all concession in mil
itarism. Hichter Justifies this course in a
manifesto which says : "It was impossible
to light the reactionaries on the right , the
socialists on the left , and at the same time
dissenters within our own ranks. The di
vision of the party was , therefore , unavoid
able. "
The weaker contingent of the party which
seceded with Major Hujo Hinzo has assumed
the name of the radical union ( freisinnigo
vcroinigung ) .
The radical unionises have been the first
to score a success with tlio electors. Ala
radical meeting In the Schwcinit/-WItten-
berg constituency today , Dr. Ile-inrlch Dehorn -
horn , ono of the twenty-two deputies who
seceded from the radical caucus on Saturday
and founded the radical union , was endorsed
as radical candidate in tlio general election ,
although ho had explicitly avowed his pur
pose to vote , if returned to the Uelchstag ,
"for the security of the empire. "
A hlv'h onlcial in the imperial chancellor's
olllco said today that thu emperor and Count
von Caprivl are convinced of the futility of
attempting to conciliate the clericals and
will accept the persistent opposition of the
center. As regards both the schools and the
return of the Jesuits , ho said the govern
ment would act in complete indcpondcnco of
I'lcrical influence , not ovoti yielding In the
face of another kulturkampf.

of the Daily News , in giving the history of
the division In the radical party , says : The
split will have great influence on Germany's
domestic policy. Since Its foundation the
party has suffered from want of unity among
Its leaders. Common hatred of Bismarck ,
however , kept a semblance of harmony. The
ties were loosened wltli tlio accession ot
Count von Caprivl. A popular wit dubbed
the Ulchter section opposing Caprivl "the
Wasscrstlcller , " and the Hichter section ,
which was complaint toward Caprlvi ,
"Waldenstrumpller. " 'I'he army bill served
to turn the smouldering Jealousies Into open
rupture , which , on top of the dissolutionwas
the greatest possible blunder. True , the
hostile section appointed a joint committee
to secure a common election platform , but It
Is feared that circumstances will prove
stronger than the best Intentions , and the
split will spread to the electorate.

Lt.srot.N , May 3.- [ Special Telegram to
TniBii : : . ) The managers of the Impeach
ment , their attorneys and all well disposed
citizens are well pleased with the results of
today's session of the supreme court , sitting
ns a court of impeachment. They feel that
they have established the fact that there
was a large-sized steal In the construction of
the cell house ; a steal of which the respond
ents could not have been Ignorant. This
they have established by the expert testimony
I architects , contractors and builders , who
oday testified that the building In its pres-
nt condition should not have cost much
lore than $ . ' ,000 , while It Is a well known
act that the Hoard of PubllcLamls and Huild-
ngs has allowed the entire appropriation of
10.000 to become exhausted , with claims ag-
regal inSJ.fiOO still unpaid. All of the cs-
limites admitted In ovideneo today were
lade on the basis of free and skilled labor ,
vhllo the construction wis by convict labor ,
barged to the stale at ft per day.
Last week when Anhltcct Gray s = ul mil-
ed his estimate of S.TJ.OUO , claiming that if
uilt by free labor the building would have
est thai amount , the managers had some
loubt regarding the accuracy of his stato-
ncnts. Taking his figures , thov were sub-
iiltlcd to Architects Latenser and Fall of
Omaha , who have carefully rovl.sod them ,
'hose gentlemen have found mistakes and
nlscalculatlotis aggregating (1,000 ( which
votild bring Gray's estimate down to # ! n,000
n the basis of free labor.
snininrrH HIM an Opinion.
Tonight the respondenls find themselves
n rather a peculiar position regarding Iho
15,000 appropriated by the legislature for
ho purpose of defraying the expenses of the
rial which is now In progress. Attorney
lone-nil Hastings , being one of the olllcials
igalnst wjiom the charges were broughtwas
lot asked to pass upon the legaliti of the ap-
troprlalion. The matter was turned over to
Vsslstant Summers sometime ago a ml tonight
t is announced that ho has prepared an
jplnlon In which he holds that the legisla
ture appropriated the money in a legal nian-
ler. and that all of the proceeding connected
herewith were legal. This opinion , how-
-ve-r , ho has not jot filed with Auditor
Moore , and for that reason it is not certain
vhat course ho will pursue ) when hn appears
lefore the supreme court commission tomor

i deep interest in tlio management
of the caso. The question of the alleged
'rands growing out of the constructlou of
: ho cell house was taken up with
W. K. Keys , a stone quarrymaii. on the
witness stand. Three cents per hundred
winds was the fair value of rubble slono ,
15 cents per foot was all that dimension
stone plugged to size was worth , while the
llmcnslon stone was worth 11 or 1'J cents pur
foot put on the cars. The stone
that witness sold at these prices was of bet
ter quality than the Cedar Creole stono.
