Coraiat the Priecti fad tbe Charch aod Dec lari ox That He Alone Wat Retpostlble lor the Crime. Auburn, X. Y. (Special)-—Leon Czolgo»<. who shot and fatally wounded President McKinley in Buffalo on September 6. was electrocuted at 7-12-30 Tuesday morning in Auburn Prison. He was shocked to death by 1700 volts of electricity. At 7.15 he was pronounced He went to the chair showing no ticulyr sign of fear and unaccompanied by a spiritual adviser. He'surpriscd everyone present by talking to the witnesses while being strapped to the chair. "-1 killed the President because he was an enemy of the good people—of the good working people. 1 am not sorry , for my crime.” - -A moment later he mumbled through the half-adjusted face straps: ”1 am awfully sorry I did not see my

father.”

In a few seconds the current of electricity was turned on. The full voltage was used for seven, seconds, and was then slowly reduced for about forty-five seconds. The full voltage of 1790 was th.n again turned on for eight seconds. A third timothc full strength of the current entered the body, although the third contact was not thought necessary. Czolgosz retired Monday night at 10 o'clock and slept so soundly that when Warden Mead went to the cell, the guard inside had to shake Czolgosz to awaken him. The prison official took from his pocket the death warrant and. read it slowly and distinctly to the assassin. Just as the warden stepped away from tbe cell door Czolgosz called to him and said: “1 would like to talk with the Superintendent.” The Warden responded: "He will be down - presently.” Superintendent Collins visited the cell at about 5.30 o'clock. The Superintendent stood in front of the steel bars and -Czolgosz said: "I want .to make a state.ment before you kill me. I want to make it when there are a lot of people present. I want them to hear me,” said the pris"Well, you cannot,” said the Supcrin-.

tendent.

"Then I won't talk at all/’ said the prisoner, sullenly. After the Superintendent had left the guards brought Czolgosz breakfast, consisting of coffee, toast, eggs and bacon. Gmdgosz seemed to relish the food. Mcankhile the witnesses were gathering in the riffice of Warden Mead, and at 7.06 o'clock the precession passed to the death chamber. The witnesses seated tbeiflselves and Warden Mead briefly ad-, dressed them, saying: "You are here to witness the legal death of Leon Czolgosz. I desire that you keep your sea's and preserve absolute silence in the death chamber, no matter what may transpire." Warden Mead gave the signal fo have the prisoner brought in. and at 7.10.30 •’clock Chief Keeper Tuppcr swung opep tb& big. steel door leading,to the cells ofcondemned men. When the attendants had strapped the condemned man in the chair, they stepped back and Warden Mead raised his hand. At 7-12.30 Electrician Davis tnrnud the switch. At 7.15 the current was turned off. The prisoner'was then dead, hilt two minutes passed before the Warden turned to the witnesses and said: “Gntlemen. the prisoner is dead.” The body was then placed on the operating table. The clothing and personal effects •f the prisoner were burned under direction of Warden Mead a short time after die execution. The autopsy was completed shortly before noon, when the surgeons issued-the following brief statement: / “The autopsy was made by Mr./Edward A. Spitzka, of New Yorkyunder) -the immediate supervision-and direction •f Dr. Charles F. McDonald, tof New York, and Dr. John Perin. prison physician. The autopsy occupied over,three hours, and embraced a careful examination of all the bodily organs, including the brain. The execution revealed a perfectly healthy state of all the organs, including the brain. \A11 of the physicians who attended tbe) execution were present at the autopsy, and all concurred in the findings •f the examiners." The body was placed in a black stained pine coffin, every portion of the anatomy being replaced under the supervision of "'Dr. Genn and,Warden Mead. Shortly afterward it was taken to the prison cemetery, and an extraordinary precaution taken to completely destroy it ’A few days agp under the Warden's order, an experiment was made to detrmine the pow«* of quicklime in the destruction of flesK'and bone, which was not satisfactory.

Oct. 38, says he has received reportsof important fighting on.October 24, near Great Marica river, when Delarey and Kemp attacked a British force and were repulsed only pfter severe fighting, leaving 40 dead on the field, including Commandant Omstirheysen. The British lost 38 men killed and had 55 wounded. The Boer* carried off eight British wagons. Delarey's men appear to have paid special attention to the guns, as 37 gunners and drivers were killed or wounded. .

The news from General Hughes regarding conditions in the Island of Cebu is-encouraging. Lorega has surrendered with his entire force and one cannon and several rifles, while General Hughes is negotiating for the surrender of Maxflot. who styles himself "Governor Politico Militar." His surrender will mean the pacification of the province. Lack of food and the harassing effects of the aggressive tactics now pursued bjr the American forces are having their influence upon the natives. In many places where rice is doled out by the government, only enough is given for one meal, so that it is hardly possible for an^ large quantity to find Rs

way to the insurgents.

It is believed that the recent manifestations in the Island of Samar were chiefly due to the lack of food. The first labor problem growing out of the ne* Uriff has taken place. A hat and umbrella factory, employing 600 hands, has found it necessary to close. The lawyers are making a protest to the Commission, urging protection. as the goods from Germany can be sold here at half the prices it takea

to manufacture them here.

Dispatches from Catbalogan, Samar, say that stringent and energetic measures arc taken to suppress the insurrection in that island. General Smith has notified all the presidentes and head men of the pueblos that, in order to avoid trouble, they must surrender all arms and turn over the persons implicated in the Balangiga massacre.

DR. RIXEY'S REPORT. Bis Record of McKinley's Case Goes Deeply tat* Detail Washington. D. C. (Special).-”In the line of duty, ’ while receiving the people, wa» shot by Leon F.

Rixey, Medical Inspector, United States Navy, as the introduction for his report upon the wounding illness and death of President McKinley. The cause of death is thus stated: "Gangrene of both walls of stomach and pancreas, following gunshot wound.” The report itself is remarkable for its exhibition in the closest possible detail of the exact state of the patient during his mortal illness. - It is almost in the shape of a ship’s log, showing at intervals of a very lew ruinates—sometimes a single minute, rarely more than an hour —the. patient's progress toward the end.

New Orleans .(Special).—A race war that already numbers among its victims 30 while men and negroes, is raging in and around Balltown. in Washington parish, this State, a'few miles from the boundary line of Mississippi, and a company of militiamen from the First Louisiana Brigade is being rushed to the

scene to put a stop to hostilities. So far as can !>c gathered ft meager sources of information at available the cause of the bittemest has led to the outbreak is the

, is the determination of the colored men of the region to kill one of their own race. who. under orders of the whites, last Wednesday set fire to a pyre about a negro, who was being put to death for a brutal assault and

attempted murder.

Of the men already killed as a result of several rifle battle* that have been going on since Sunday, five are whites and the remainder colored. When the fighting began the colored men met their toe* in the open, but in tbe afternoon several of them fled across the Mississippi line, where tbe Columbia State Guards are stationed to protect them, and others arc entrenching themselves in houses in the

heart of the town.

In all probability the struggle is now resolving itself into a man hunt, with the negroes seeking whatever shelter they can find. The whites far outnumber them in the neighborhood of Balltown. Sqnads of men are reported patrnling the country round the settlement, and they are shooting them down in cold blood wherever they find them: Sheriff Simons, of Washington Parish, has telegraphed to Governor Heard that it will be impossible for him to restore order without the assistance of the militia
