BODY BURIED IN ACID
Current of Electricity Shot Through
the Murderer of William Me
Klnley Brain Normal.
Within a space of six hour ami
nine minutes Loon Czolgos-., tli as
sassin who kilted President McKlniey,
hail been put to death ami his iiiIm-ii-lile
carcass dumped Into a wave miJ
covered with acids und qntelil'mo.
C.olgosi'.'a worthless earthly ratver
was closed ait fnr an thi law wu con
cerned by the tiling with the clerk of
CayiiKa county of a certificate setting
forth that the sentence of the law
had been carried out. Every vestige
of the ciotlilnK that he wore ami the
articles that he used at the Auburn
lirlaon during the 32 day a he was held
waiting death were destroyed before
the night rame on Tuesday. At 7:12 Vj
o'clock Tuesday morning l.eon I'.ol
Kosn. murderer of President William
McKlnley, was shocked to death by
1,700 volts of electricity, lie went to
the chair In exnctly the same manner
as have the majority of murderers In
New York State, showing no partic
ular sign of fear, but. In fact, doing
what few of tlieni have done talking
to the witnesses while ho was being
strapped to the chair. "I killed the
President because he was an enemy
ot tlie good people of the good work
ing people. 1 am not sorry for my
crime." Tliese were his words as the
guards hurried him Into the chair.
A moment later, mumbling through the
hall-adjusted lace straps, he said: "1
am aw fully sorry I could not see my
lather." Warden Mead raised his hand
and at 7:12:30 electrician Davis turn
ed the switch and threw 1.700 voks
of electricity into the living body. The
rush of the current threw the body so
hard against Che straps that thVy
creaked perceptibly. The hands clinch
ed suddenly, and the whole altitude
was one of extreme tenseness. For 4T
set-ends the full current was kept on,
and then slowly the electrician throw
the twitch back, reducing the current
volt by volt until it was cut off en
tirely. Then Just as it had reached
that point he threw the lever back
again for two or three seconds. Tho
body, which had collapsed as the cur
rent was reduced, stilloued up against
the etiaps. When it was turned off
again, 1'r. Mai-Donald stepped to the
chair and put his hand over the hem"..
He said he felt no pulsation, but sug
gested that the current be turned on
for a few seconds again. Once more
the body became rigid. At 7: 1 the
current was turned off lor good. From
the time Czolgosz left his cell until
the lull penalty was paid less than
lour minutes elapsed. Tne physicians
used the r.tethoscopc and other tests
to determine If any life remained, and
at 7:17 the warden, raising his hand,
announced, 'Gentlemen, the prisoner
is dead." After an autopsy, during
which tne physicians examined his
brain, and, sirnngely enough, pro
nounced It normal, the dissevered por
tions of the assassin s anatomy were
gathered up, placed in a plain coflln.
and carried to the prison graveyard.
There a powerful disintegrating acid
was poured over the body to quickly
remove all traces, that he may the
ooner be forgotten and that no grew
'.ome relics may be kept. The papers
.ri at he left and the hundreds of letters
that were sent to tne prison for him
will be kept only long enough to tab
ulate the names therein for future
police reference, and then the last re
minder of l.eon Czolgor.z will be com
mitted to oblivion.

TURKEY DENIES RESPONSIBILITY
Officials State Mite Stone Had Been
Warned of Danger.
The Turkish government Is already
preparing to resl.it the anticipated de
mand of the United States for repay
ment of the ransom necessary to sc
ore the release of Miss Ellen M.
Stone. The Porte repudiates all re
sponsibility for the kidnaping of Miss
Stone, maintains thnt the United
Slates has no claim against Turkey,
nnd that the latter Is Justified In re
using to recoup the United States for
money expended in ner rescue. A
Turkish official says that the Turk-
sh resistance of any claim would be
based upon the contentions, first, that
Miss Stone, although warned of the
dangers of the road, persisted in trave
ling : second, that she did not notify
the authorities of her Intention, in or
der to obtain an escort, which precau-
ion even the foreign consuls always
take when traveling; third, that the
brigands who kidnaped Miss Stone
and her companion were Bulgarians;
that the coup was planned In Bulga

TWO TREATIES ENDEP.
Nicaragua Surprises Secretary Hay by
Denouncing Canal Convention
Withet to Conclude Another.
The government -of Nicaragua hat
terminated the treaty under which the
United Btotrs was empowered to con-
rt met an Inter-ocennlc conal across
the territory of Nicaragua. This ac
tion has been conveyed to tile State
Department by the Nlcnragnan Minis
ter for Foreign AITolrs. That officer
declares thnt the denunciation In no
wise affects the friendly relations be
tween the two countries, and the Nlc
aragiinn government desires the con
clusion of new treaties. Besides the
trenty of 1'rlendnhlp, commerce and
navigation of 18li7 thus denounced, 'the
same note conveys the denunciation
of the extradition trenty of 1870 be
tween the United Stntca and Nicara
gua. Under tho terms of the denun
ciation the first named treaty, cover
ing the right to construct and guar
antee a (anal, which will expire Oc
tober 24, 1902, which is one year from
the dute the notice was received at
the State Department. The extra
dition treaty terminates May 21 next,
ns provided In the convention. The
Nlcnragnan Minister's note conveys
absolutely no Information as to the
motives which Inspired the Nlcara
guan government to denounce these
two treaties, nor has Mr. Merry, the
United States Minister to Nicaragua,

TRADE HELD BACK.
Railroad Facilities Inadequate to Car
ry Shipments Shortage Felt
in Coal Trade.
It. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says: Although the latest
railway returns indicate that transport
ing facilities have greatly Improved. '
the nation's business has expanded
more rapidly. Car snonage has. In
fact, become the chief retarding Influ
ence. From all sections of the coun
try and many lines of Industry com
plulnta are heard regarding the inabil
ity to move goods. Probably the de
lay has been most aggravating in the
case of coal, unseasonably high tem
perature alone preventing serious In
conveniences. Net only are domestic
requirements enormous, but coal Is be
coming un Importunt article of export,
partly owing to labor controversies in
France nnd Great Britain and also In
tlie British export tnx. Mild weather
affects retail distribution to a Tory
marked degree, orders for heavy
weight gootls being canceled In aome
cases where manufacturers were be
hind with deliveries. That the volume
ot legitimate business is not being
curtailed, however, is evidenced by thd
gain In bank exchanges at Now York
of 27.4 per cent over last year, and 7.9
per cent over the same week in 1800.
At other leading cities the Increase
Is equally striking. 20.1 per cent over
l'Joo. and O.ti over 18119. Sheet mills
are many months behind orders, and
prompt deliveries commanding premi
ums, even wnere goods are ready for
customers It is often Impossible to
ship because of Inadequate railway fa
cilities. Structural material la urgent
ly sought. Steel rail orders increase
and the fancy prices asked for billets
rave brought imports from Germany.
Domestic quotations do not alter,
though list figures are not considered
on deliveries before the year's end.
Copper is artificially sustained by clos
ing mines. Footwear manufacturers
have made a general advance In prices
restoring the figures of early spring.
Textile markets are well sustained.
Woolen mills have ample orders and
tuke large quantities ot raw material,
holding wool prices firm. Cotton goods
are in brisk request with no evidence
ot excessive stocks. Speculators se
cured u distinct decline from the un
usually high position recently attained
by pork products, while at the same
time corn made a further advance.
Shipments from Atlantic ports for the
week were only 49S,4'J6 bushels,
against 1.194.(109 last week and 3,328,
031 a year ago. Interior receipts wereX
also light. 2,217.120 bushels, against '
S.838.02O lost year. Wheat came to
market more freely, arrivals ot west
ern cities amounting to 7.000,590 bush
els, against 0.182.393 In the previous
week and 6,537,002 a year ago.
