Interesting Decision or the United States Supremo Court CliloT Jus lice Fuller Delivers It Tlio Mur derer' I,ast Hope Oono. By a decision of the Supremo Court of tho United States to-day, the last hope for life afforded William Kcmmlcr, tho New York murderer un der sentenco of death by electricity, was banished, and ho will accoidlngly be executed In conformity with the now law governing executions In New York State. Tho decision was on an application for n wiit of error inado by ltogcr M. Sherman of New York, counsel for ICemmlcr, argued last Tuesday. Tlio Court was unani mous In denying tho application. Chief Justice Puller rtad tho decision in full. Ho reviewed tho case and severally went over the points made by Kcmmlci's counsel, nnd ended by stat ing that tho Court had no hesitation in saying that they could not, on the rcc Old as presented, rovcrso tho decision of tbo New York Court of Appeals. Tho court In Its decision first consid ered tho question raised concerning cruel and unusual punishment. Tho first legal enactment In this regard, It was stated, was mado when Wil liam of Orango becamo King of Lag land, andjls purpose was to pre vent tho infliction of barbarous punishment on cltiens. Tho New l'ork Court of AHr fn,..l rF A nnnnlii I Anne peals In its decision stated that punishment of death bv electricity certainly was now and tkcic fore unusual, but It was undoubtedly for the Legislatuie to say whether tho mode fixed upon was cruel, the Legis lature having all the facts after investi gation by a commission before-thera. It was" not true, the Court stated, that the fourteenth amendment had mate rially changed our theory of govern ment. Citizens of the States were also citizens of the United States. The four teenth amendment simply furnished an additional safeguard against en croachment on tho fundamental rights of citizens. The privileges and immunities of cliizens of tho United States weio indeed protected by It, but there aio privileges and immunities arising out of the nature and essential character of tho national Government, and they did not embrace tho privi leges and immunities of citizens of the State. The enactment of the State was within iho legitimate sphcio of the legislative power of a State, and tho Leglsiatuic of the State of New York detcrminid that clcctiicity was not a ciuel ami unusual punishment and Its courts had sustained that determination. The Couit thcrefoie could not per ceito that the State thereby abiidged Kemmlcr's privileges or deprived him of due process of law. IN SENATE AND HOUSE.

The solid old farmers, attired lu the ancient dres peculiar to their faith. and humheds of women and children made the occasion befoio the opening of Ihe meeting a lively one. The meeting house Is just as peculiar as the religion nnd the people. The floor slopes front both ends to the cenlre. This makes It possible to look over tbo heads of those seated in the central pot lion or the church. On tho second floor arc two largo looms.

Mr. Uunston Talced Issue With (ieorctt Konnnn, tho Writer. Si'itiNOHUU), Ohio, May 23. Mr. Wm. II. Dunslon, a resident of Bussi.t fot thlily years and ptcscnt Amctican Vice-Consul General at St. Petersburg, is In this city. Ho takes decided issue with George Kennan, whom be calls a sensationalist, given to exaggeration. Mr. Dunston says tho Hussiah prlsom nro ns humanely conducted as our own, the prisoners being well treated and well fed. The people of St. Petersburg love the C7ai. The Idea which seems to prevail here.thatthc Czar never appears In public unless ho Is guarded by troops. Is not n correct one. With the Empress he can be seen nenrly every day driving through the streets with only n soldier on the seat with the driver, and ho does footman's duly. Mr. Dunston says somo of tliu exiled women, whose cases are cited by Mr. Kcnnan in his lectures as examples of Ilussian cruelty, are Anarchists of the samo stiipe as Spies, Parsons and the other Chicago plotters. The Amer ican colony In St. Petersbuig, Mr. Dun ston says, deprecate the abuse of the; Hussions and do not approve of Ken nan's lectures, and he (Dunston) will tits all in his power to counteract his In fluence In this country.
