Explanation of the Way Iho

AtncrtN, N. Y., Aug. 4.Wanlon
Durston exploded this morning the
story sent out at a Into hour last night
that rt mysterious delegation, prosuma
bly composed of tho witnesses of the
hilling of Kcmmlcr, had arrived on a
special train at midnight and bcon hur
tled into the prison. The warden was
not In town last night. When ho re
turned on tho 7 o'clock train this morn
lng, ho said that no Invitations to the
execution had yet been Issued. As tho
law requires three days notlco to the
witnesses, this would appear to Indicate
that the execution will not occur beforo
Thursday. Kcmmlcr Is reported to be
in good health and fair spirits to-day.
ltociinsTcn, N. Y., Aug. 4. A Post
JZrprett reporter had an Interview with
Superintendent Barnes Saturday night
In relation to the prospective execution
Of Kcmmlcr. It was as follows:
"Do you think tho execution will be
canted out?" said the reporter.
"I think It will," replied Mr. Dames.
"Do you expect that tho apparatus
Will work effectively:'
"Asanclccttlclan, I have no doubt
that It will. No electrician who under
ttouls the subject and knows what the
cppaiatus Is, can doubt that It will kill
Lim."
"What size wire will be used for
conveying the current from the dynamo
to the chair T"
"An ordinary electric light wire."
"Is the dynamo that Is to generate
the electricity similar to fiosc used for
electric lighting purposes T "
"No. Tho electric light current Is
continuous, whilo that to be usud on
Kcmmlcr Is alternating. The dynamo
is different. Tbo alternating current
reverses Its direction eight huudred
times in a second. It is not the amount,
but the Intensity of the electric current
that has tho killing power."
"Do you moan to say that the current
that will kill him will go back and forth
through him several hundrod times t"
"Yes."
"What comparison doos the current
you will use bear to tho current of an
incandescent electric light?"
"Tho incandescent light is slxtcon
candle power about 180 volts. Wo will
Lave 1,600 volts power In the dynamo
at Auburn, but a 1,500 volt currout Is
What will be turned on."
"Do you think ho will suffer any
from tho shock?"
"No. The electricity will be applied
to his skull and spinal column in such
a way that the current will paralyse the
brain Instantly and destroy all sensa
tion. In order to feel any pain the
sensation must be carried to the brain by
the nerves."
Do you think there will l any
break of the skin?"
"We hope not. If there should be,
the papers would make such a fuss over
It We think that we have that pro
vided against "
"Did you ever get a shock of elec
tricity yourself?
"Yes. Hut I cannot staml any
amount. I was knocked Insensible by
an accidental current once. The appa
ratus at the office got out of order one
night and I was called to see what was
the trouble- There was sa insulated
handle that I should have used, but I
had a trick of running my finger along
the edge of the machine to feel the
current, and this time it knocked rae
down as the wire had bees crossed by
an clictric wire. I lay oa the floor la
sensible for a short time. Saw llemleh

place in his features. Ills eyes aid not
close nor a muscle quiver, and I could
scarcely believe he was dead. When
we took the current off he wilted as If
every bone In his body was broken."
"Have vou ever wet Kemmler ?"
- 'No , I have never spoken to him."
"Do you think he has weakened, as
reported In the newspapers to-night 1"
'No, he was sick with a complaial

Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 4. There ap
pears to be a good reason to believe that
William ICemmler will be electrocuted
between Tuesday night ami Wednesday
morning. General Invitations to lie
present" at the carrying out
of the death sentence have
been reccl veil In this city. The holders
of the Invitations are very secretive and
stale that no time or hour Is named In
the Invitation. A United Press reporter
was privileged to examine one of
these gruesome invitations at noon.
It wa written In type-writer on
an Auburn prison letterhead, and
Invites Its recipient to report
at the prison "at 7 p. m , Au

Whether the execution Is to take place

ADMIRAL WALKER ABROAD.
Taken to Tank tir n llrailllan oillctal
ror Ills Conduct.
The roseate accounts of the visit of
the squadron of evolution to foreign
ports do not seem to bo justified in
every Instance by private advices from
abroad. Particularly Is this true of
tho story of tho whlto squadron
at Wo dc Janeiro. Tho follow
ing extract from a letter from a
prominent UrazIIIan official to a pontic
man Inofficial life in this city concern
ing Admiral Walker would seem to In
dicate that tho young Republic did not
regard tho visit of tho squadron very
favorably, while the subsequent acts of
that officer created n great deal of 111
feeling. The letter, which Is dated July 0, re
fers to the squadron In tho following
terms;
"Ycslcrday they wcro offered a splen
did picnic at the Jnrdlnc Uotanlco, to
day a luncheon on tho Corcorado; and
nil theso days soma efforts aro being
made to honor them. I am sorry to say
how Indifferent to It nil they arc, and
how little tatcirfaire the admiral pos
sesses. "The Brazilian Navy, as well as
President Deodora Fonsecn, have asked
him to remain a few days longer, to
enable them to clvo some festivals In
their honor. Admiral Walkor's reply
Is, 'No.' Doing orderod forward by his
Government, ho would sail early
on the Otb, or after the great bill
of the Fourth of July In their honor.
What would Iho delay of n few days
maltn? They mutt stay somewhere.
This city Is healthy, It Is the coolest sea
son In many years, and why did they
come If not to please us? Wo wcro not
anxious to see thorn, but now feel pro
voked at such malconduct. Their con
stant expressions arc "Good enough
for us at home."
"Every one comments on such con
duct, but being Americans nothing else
could be expected by those trying to
honor them. However tho nation Is
cvor badly represented abroad. And
hero Is tho head of the white squadron
afraid of his shallow oxactly like old
Admiral Ilralnc."
"New York Is good enough for us,"
etc.
"They seem woll content with their
own divine mission In this world; sorry
to come, and happy to go."
HOT A FREE-TRADE PARTY.
A UcTeaie of the Democratic Position
On tho Tarltr.
Kditor Vritit: The Washington Vot
of yesterday, in an editorial headed
"Senator Plumb on the Tariff." says as
follows: "Tho Democratic uewspapers
will naturally distort the Ideas advanced
by the Kansas Senator and attempt to
make it appear that he has embraced
frco-irade sentiments."
This is Insincere, for the 1'ott well
knows that the Democratic- party Is not
a free trade party and whoever attempts
to mislead the people by the assertion
that it Is (Id the race of tariff bills and
tariff rales proposed by Democratic
Representatives and Senators In Con-
tress) shows gross Ignorance or worse,
ecretary Blaine and Senator Plumb are
simply propounding; and advocating
Democratic doctrine. "The greatest
good to the greatest number and no
class legislation." All Uguluttion im
potiug high dutu to proUct tpecial in
duttrit it flat legislation
The editorial further says: "The
masses of the people, however, are not
ignorant oa the tariff question. They
well understand that an import duly
Increases the cost of an article," and
yet the 1'ott published, without dissent
or cowwent, the statements wade by
members of Congress that blub import
duties placed upon certain articles pro
duced in this country had reduced the
price of those articles'
It was gravely asserted in the House
of Representatives, whea the duty oa
tia was under discussion, that a nigh
import duty placed on tin would reduce
the price of tia.
Which is the greatest nonsense the
JW saying that the Democratic party
is a free trade pasty, or the members of
Congress saying that a high import duty
placed oa aa article leaeeas the price of

EXGIIING SATURDAY NIGHT EPISODE.

BELABORED UNTIL HE FLED TO ESCAPE,
The Parlies Were Neighbors, and He Used
InsaKing Language to the Lady,
Bolh Were Arrested.
On Saturday evening about 15 o'clock
there woe an exhibition at Ftltr. Renter's
place, on the corner of Four-and-a-half
street and Pennsylvania avenue, that
was not down on the bill of fare.
It was Reutcr's opening, or rather
anniversary of his going into business
on that comer, and there were seventy
five or a hundred )eople present when
a very
ATTHACTIVK tOOKt.Vfl LADV,
neatly attired In light summer raiment,
presented herself at the side door and
asked one ot the waiters If he would
please call out Mr. W. T. Sweet. Tho
waiter compiled with her request and
Mr. Sweet, who was seated at a table
with a party of friends, jumped up
promptly and went to the door, as he
thought his wife was there. As he
came within sight of the open door the
lady rushed at iilm and milling a black
snake whip from the folds of her dress
iieoan ritAtrrtzixu him
most unmercifully about the face ami
shoulders. Sweet did not make any
effort to strike the woman, but threw
his arras in front of his face to protect
It from the slashes of the whip, which
fell thick and fast.
The woman was very much out of
temper about something, and no one
present wanted to interfere, as ttiey all
Kerned confident that she was only re
senting some Insult that had been
ollcrcd.
About this time one of the bystanders
said "lc him, Carlo, sic him, Carlo."
With this
A LAIKIX HULL I) XI
which belonged to Mr. Renter sprang
frcui under a table and began grabbing
at the lady's garments.
"Some gentleman please call that dog
off, for I cannot give that scoundrel hi
deserts with him In my way." said the
woman. The dog was called, but In the
meantime Mr. Sweet, with his arms still
guarding his face, picked his way
through the crowd at the bar. and made
his escape through the Pennsylvania
avenue entrance to the building.
In the meantime some one ran to the
patrol box on the opposite corner sod
Ottlcers Walsh and Costelloput la their
appearance. Both Mr. .Siveet and the
woman, who gave the name of
MHS. KATE CANDLKlt,
were put under arrest and the patrol
wagoa summoned. Mr. Sweet lumped
Into the wagon, and the ottlcers Insisted
that Mrs. Candler should do tbe same,
but she declined, saylne; that she was
perfectly able to walk.
At this time a well-known physician
of the city who was nastine, and who
was acquainted with Mrs. Candler,
volunteered to accompany her to the
Sixth Precinct Station. Here both
were charged with an affray and fur
nished collateral for appearance In the
Police Court this morning.
WHAT LEO TO THE ASSAULT.
W. T. Sweet is engaged la tbe plumb
ing business on Four aad-a half street,
under the shadows of the Metropolitan
Church and Mr. Candler's mother oc
cupies the adjoining house. Oa Satur
day she was seated on the porch In front
of tbe house when Sweet passed by and
addressed some very Insulting remarks
which were ot such a disgusting
nature as to eompel her to go Into the
house. Her husband was not there at
the time and Mrs. Candler conclude! to
take the leseatment into her own hands,
and did to.
Ui THK fOLUB COl'KT.
Ia the Police Court this moralag Mr.
Sweet ebsrged Mrs. Candler with as
sault, and she made a counter charge
against him of usiag Indecent Ian
Kuaee. Both eases will be heard oa

not affect It. It they existed,
they peilalned solely to the

thought that the call allowed the Legis
