DETAILS OF THE EXECUTION. & Special Calle. Loxvox, April 16.—The following ditlonal details of the execution of the Nihil- ists have been received: The execution took place at 9 o'clock on Friday morning, on Simonofsky Plain, the same spot on which Molodetsky was executed. The scaffold was a rough wooden structure, painted black, consisting of a high platform, upon which were three posts, each with a chain and manacles, and one long horizontal beam, with iron rings for ropes, supported by two perpendicular posts. In frout was a low platform for the officials. The large plain ‘around was covered with snow and® ice, which was melting in the warm sunshine. By S o’clock many thousands of prople had collected around the plain and swarmed in the varlous streets leading to it TEN THOTSAND TROOPS Lept them back and formed two squares around the gallows, First were the Cos- sacks, with couched lances, and then detach- ments of the Guards. The infantry was massed in deep colums, leaving one side of the inner square open for the passage of the condemned prisoners and escort. ; THAE CORTEGE entered the eastern side of the plain a few miuutes before 9 o'clock, having passed through some of the principal streets on the way from the fortress. The condemned criminals were seated high in the centre of two-wheeled platforms, | tightly strapped to iron rods, with their backs towards the horses, and having on their breasts large carls with the words, “Tsareenbiest!” or murderers of the Czar!” in black and white. Surrounding them was a strong escort of Cossacks and Infantry, with drums and fifes playing a lively tune, and preceded by mounted gendarmes. The condemned persons were dressed in black and wore 2 sort of black hood covering their heads and shoulders. On the first tumbril sat L:QUSSOKOF AND JELLATOFF, both of whose features were nearly cou- cealed by heavy hoods. Jeliahoff's dark, plercing eves seemed to shine with even in- tensjfied brilliancy and defiance as he looked on the scene around him. On the second tumbril were seated Kibaltsehitisch, Sophie Tieoffsky, and Michailoff, the woman occu- pring the middle seat. Of these three the features of Saphie Picoffsky were alone dis- tinetly visible, her extraordinarily high and broad forehead being unshrouded by the hood. Her slightly-flushed face betokened great mental excitement, but there was no sign either of fear or remorse. -Gen. Becan- off. with THE EXECUTIONER AND HI3 FOUR ASSIST- ANTS, were waiting under the scaffold. The con- demned were unbound and led up the steps. With the exception of Roussokotf, who seemed very ferble, all showed remarkable firmness and resignation. Sophie Pieoffsky appeared the calmest of all the five prisoners. They were then placed in front of the three posts, with their heads bare, the woman being in the middle. While the Clerk of the Senate read the sentences the civilians uncovered and the oflicers saluted. During this formal- ity FIVE PRIESTS IN PURPLE CAPS mounted thescatfold and presented the eross, which all the condemned reverently kissed. The prisoners were allowed to k each other, and a word or two passed between them, but the beating of the drums, which now began and lasted until the execution was Gnished, drowned every other sound. The prisuners were then placed under the beam, Each prisoner’s head was covered with a white hood, attached to a kind of sack. Each one, beginning with Roussakoff, was ted to the top of 3 small stool with steps. the Tope was drawn around vne of the support- log beams, and the culprit was left to strangie- by the stool being withdrawn from under. All rewained finn and impertur- bubleuntil the last monient. Roussakoff alune appeared to faint- betore the stool was taken away. The formalites and the execution lasted altogether ABOCT TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES, The-bodies remained hanging twenty min- utes, and were then let down in five rough shetls filled with shavings, and were examn- Ined by the doctors. 'They were then placed into two cartsand taken away under the es- cort ol the Cossacks, to be ignominiously buried in a remote part of the suburbs of the city. With the exception of an accident to- onnof the ropes, which broke iwice, the Ings paseed off quietly and without foulty. They were watched in silence by fully 100,090 of the civil and military popula- tiunof the Capital. D GETTING SCARED. 1 16.—The proposal to hold gly aisapproved, and & memorial is preparing at Zurich requesting the Federal Council to prohibit it. THE PLAGUE. DEATIH IN TEN HOURS. ‘CONSTANTINOPLE, April 16.—Advices from Bagdad state that the ravages of the plague are terrible, though not extenging beyond the sunitary cordon. Four thousand™ inhab- itants have quitted Nedjed, and encamped in salubriouslocalities, Nedjed and Djuhara were burnt on the Sth inst. The disease be- came virnlent, the afilicted dying in ten lours after being attacked. THE EARTUQUAKE., . DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS. Loxvox, April 16.—The correspondent of the Témes at Scio says: *Lhave now made, i from personal observation, and with the help of uthers, a vretty thorough canvass of the state of aif; throughout the island. The total number of dead is scarcely less than 4.000, although some allowance may be due to the fact that immediately after the dis- aster many persons crossed to the main land, and some of those now reported dead may now be there. The villages on tie south side of the islkand are all wrecked, hardly a single Liouse being left standing. THE CENTRE OF VOLCANIC ACTION ve been near Nenita, overlooking Megals Bay, on the eust coast, where 300 per- ished out of a population of 1,200. At Vounos 26 perished out of a population of 6X; at Philatia, 6 out of 239; at Kalamonti, 40 out of 1,500; at Armalia, 30 out of 640; and at Kiney, 130 out of 490. On the western side of the island, at Mesta, many houses fell, but nobody was killed. At Veshy three-fourths of the buildings were wrecked, but only one person killed. ‘At Lethi 23 persons were killed out o 630, and at Argonima 40 out of 4. At Anabatos 12 were killed. This isthe most northerly town on the west side, which suffered severely. Other towns were severely shaken, but are not in ruins. THE DISTRICT OF SCI0, and towns southeast of it, suffered most of all. Kallimosi simply a mass of ruins, and it is ditieult to distinguish one house trom another. 1 cannot conceive how any consid- erable number of the population escaped. Oniy 45 perished out of 1,800. The neizhboring villages suffered similarly. Seven of the principal ones, containing §,570 people, are believed to have lost 1,327 dead. At least nine-tenths of the houses in the southern and southwestern portions of the island must be rebuilt or repaired. THE POPULATION is now,camping out, and there is great need of foad and shelter. The northern part re- quires heip, but to a less extent. Those se- verely wounded are oeing brought to Scio by men from the ships. The work of clear- ing away the ruins has begun here, but in the villages the people are still panic-strick- en. Little can be done as long as the shocks continue. Of 200 persons who perished in Thelopotomai, only sisty-five of the bodies have been.recovered, and a shmilar propor- tion in other villages. ABOUT 30,000 PEOPLE ARE CAMPED in the southern half of the island with nothing but what they have on their backs. Progress hasbeen made towards systematizing the reiief organization. The people are fur- ther demoralized by the preaching of a fool- ish Greek priest, who warns them all to flee, as the jsland is about to be completely swil- lowed up. The Archbishop and Governor are seeking to allay theexcitement, butmany are still emigrating to the mainland aud the adjacent island. At Kallamosia, A GERMAN DOCTOR who was in one of the houses at the time of the disaster relates that the first warning he bad was seeing the dishes on the-table fall on the floor. A few seconds later the walis fell outward. - From this and similar stories, 1 believe that in this district the first shock was nearly verticle, followed immediately by Lorizontal oscillations.” GREAT BRITAIN, THE TUNIS DIFFICULTY Special Cable, Loxpox, April 16.—The Tunis affair causes friction; but Italy will seek her revenge in divlomacy rather than in war. The relations of Lord Salisbury's policy, his sccret assur- ances to Minister Waddington on the one hand and to the Bey on the other, comprowmise seriously that gen- tleman’s repuiation. Not only do the disclosares again associate him with secret andertakings of which the Sulisbury- Schouvaloff arrangement was the type most offensive to Englislunen, but unless he makes Eood explan: s, they convict him of actunl dishonesty, and will seriously interfere with ‘his chances of the Conservative leadership. Though the Conservatives are not over- burdened with political wisdom, they can avpreciate honorable conduct aud the limits One set of erities point vut that, | inasmuch as che tenants’ interest must be de- ducted before the rent is assessed. this ar- rangzement will reduce the value to"the land- | lerd one-third. In cases where the estatesire incumbered landlords ay be forced to sell out or to aceept bankruptey. It js likewise chase property uniil the tenants agree upon the price, the tenants may be {n no hurry to decide upon oue, knowing that it they let the lundiord simmer in bis difj- culties the estate may pass to them for a mere tritle. Anotlier set of enitics cousider that the fandiord wifl be little better than an annuitant, and that compeiition will asoarise for the newly-created tenants’ in- terests, which Is held to be really so mmuch PLUNDER FROM THE LANDLORDS, The present tenants then are likely to sell their interest in the hopeof getting ready money. A newrace of tenants will then spring up who will have parted with their workug capital in purchasing the prefimin- ary interest. The answer to, these objections isobvious, viz.; That the equitable pow- ers granted to the Land Comumssion are extensive, and may cover these casesof suppdsed injustice. The most serious prae- tical objection to the biil seems to be that it will encourage much litigaiion. Tne law Journuls anticipate that much of the effects of both lunalord and tenant will pass 1o the' lawyers, ‘Tne irreconcilable atiitude of Messrs. Ditlon .and O’Kelly finds Jittle sup- port nmone moderate Liberals of the Shaw school. The weeting at Belfust expressed , APPROVAL OF THE BILL, Mr. Parnell and, T, . O’Connor regard the measure as a substantial instahnent, holding out guod prospects for Irlsh tenants, The second reading Is now assured, An' ob- { neng i stinate fight is expected in the Lords, but the bill is certain to pass in ‘the House of Commons. Mr. Dillon’s followers show signs of irreconeilable hostility to the broad and most strifing ures of the measure. o MIL. PARNELL, . N admits that the Land bill goes further than pected it would, and more moderate men of the stamp of Mr. Willlam' Shayw, the senior meniber for the County Cork, are per- feetly satisfied with it. Mr. Parnell de- mmds that the lundlords. be ex- proprinted; that is, that the Government should take their estaies from them, in- demnifying them for their loss. as the West India plantation-owners were indemnified on the abolition of slavery, and that the land should then be distributed imong the'people, the Guvernment giving the new. propriciors a diveet title in fee simple, and the latier to recoup the Governent by easy installinents. Or course SUCH & MEASURE 1S ADSOLUTELY IMPOSSI- 1LE at the present time, and the agitators pri- vitely admitit. Mr. Gladstone has gone as m to the line that divides the readjust- ment of the relations between landiord and ant from downright contisetion as I linment will' permit, so long as the great landed oligarchy has a voice In public affairs. Indeed, it is known that the Duke of ArgyllPs desertion will be followed by that of several staneh Whig mebers of the Upper House, awd that some of the Whix Syuires in the Commons are not to be de- vended upon. Mr. Shaw reports that TUE IRISH ARE WELL PLEASED | THE BILL. The machinery in some clauses needs strengthening, and the duties and powers of the Land Commission will have to be more clearly defined, but on the-whole the meas- ure is b loud grambler: and the profe: Lators on the other. The ation for a r nof -the land laws is making goold headway in England. "Thou- sangs of farms are lying idle, and the agri- cultural depression is wost severely felt even in the midland connties, THE WEEK IN IRELAND, The Pall Mull Gazette, ina review of the events of the week in Irelund, regrets thut the business of arbjjrary arrest without trial has been resumed. Mr. Daly was carried off on the Lith inst., amid the cries of his wife, the blessings of condoling vriests, and the vehiement cheers of the crowd, his only offense being, not that he was a villuge tyrant or disselute ruflian, but that he was the proprietor of a Connaught newspaper and active in the promotion of the interests of the Land League. * What is b roLiey doing,” asks the Guzette, *for that law and order which was to be so certainly assured by coercion?

Third, at Darragh, County Limerick. a process-server, armed with ejectments, is driven away. Fourth, THREE IUNDRED POLICE attend on Tucsday at Ballingar, County Galway, for the purpose of protecting a Sub- Sheritf and Bailiffs who had come to seize the stock of some tenants for arrears of rents. What is the result of the day's proceedings? Although the Sheriff, with Bailifs and police, visited several farmers, they found no stock and did not get any rent. There ismore to the same pur- pose, and it is the same story one week as another. Coercion, then, has hardly ‘done what was promised. On the contrary, It Is quite failing to do it, as thuse who have dispassion- ately studied the qualities of the fa- vorit recipe from the author’s political pharmacopeeia foresaw thatit would fall. To this may be added that Matthew Harris, one of the traversers at the State trial, Patri Creamsie, a small farmer in County Donegal, and Job Iialahan, of County Kerry, have to~ day been arrested under the Coereion act.,” LORD BEACONSFIELD'S CONDITION, Dr. Richard Quain says thet ir Lord Bea- constield continues to make as much prog- ress as he has during the past tiwo days he will -recover, e is now in as satisfactory o state as any man of his vearscan be after amonth’s severe illness.

Some say that his Lordship kept a diary and posted it regu-~ larly before he went to bed. HOMEOPA' A fierce dispute is in the papers respecting Sir- William Jenner's refusal to meet Dr. Kidd because the latter is sus- pected of treating Lord Beaconsfield homeopathieal Dr. Kidd seems to have been ungraciously treated by the ortho- dox allopath, but bore himself well, and hias the gratifieation of having pulled Lord Beaconsfield through the worst phases of his sickness. ‘Thereis now hope of Lis re~ Nothing but physical weakpess in- terferes. The new Vietorin University at Manchester has decided to grant academical degrees without demanding from students n kunowledge of Latin or Greek. This causes H on among old pedagogs. The degrees are to be for science, and not arts, THE INTERESTING MEDICAL CONTEOV! which has arisen from Lord Beacon: illness may be told as follows: Di Lord Beaconsfield’s regular physici the dast four years, was reported to be a homeopath. A short time ago the Queenin- tiwated a desire that other medical advisers should be called in. Sir William Jenner wassent for, and. he, atter consulting with Sir William Gull, refused to attend, alleging the impossibillty for a practitioner of scien- tific medicine to meet a person professing the principles of homeupamy, adding that he did. not think Lord Beacons- fied’s interest could in any way be served by a consultation. On the con- trary, he.thought it could not be without Tisk to the patient. Lord Barrington, at Lord Beaconsfield's request, CALLED UPON DIL QUALY, who replied that It would aford him ex- trews gratification, but he did not see how on one shle Tirst, a his professional secvieas wonld be useful, in- h us Dr. Kidd was n homeopathic prac- titioner. Dr. Qiinin’ sought the advice of Sir ‘George Burraws, ex-President of tha College of Physicians.. On reference to @ medieal directory it was found | that Dr. Kidd was g quatitied medical practi- toner. Sir George Barrows then expr hilsopinion to Dr, Quain that if Dr. Kidd, being thus qualifid, were not treating Lord Beaconsfield otherwisy' than on rational * principles, Dr. Quain would not be justified in refusing to attend. Whereupon Dr. * Quain wrote 19 Dr. asking him to state his wethod of “treatnent, Dr. Kidd replied: that he was in the habit of treating his patlgnts a5 other practitioners, with pharmaceutical remedies, In ordinary phar: pical doses, and applying THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC.

Dr. Xidd put this in writing, adding: 1 beg to say .that I am unot. treat- ing Lord Beaconsficld homeopathically, 1 beg further (o aussure you that every eetion and n of yours will be aithiully v me.” - Armed with this, Dr. Quain visited Sir N. Bennett, Pres- ident of the College of Physiclans, who agreed that Dr. Quain ought to attend: Lord Beaconsfield, enceforward FIE TWO DOCTORS WORKED 11ARMONIOU: respecting their treatment of the pad Dr. Kidd writes: * Dr. Quain, upon rece ing my ice that I was acting "on the oulinary principles of wedicine, and vot howeopathieally, visited the patient, thus affirming the spirit of that boust of the medieal profession which, in the hour of sickness, recognizes only humanity in need of sugeess, In this way Dr. Quain and Ldid not work together w L nor did either of us sacrifice his con to effeet the codperation. On the con Dr. Quain’s great skill was thus made userul to our illustrions patient, and my intimate knowledge of his constitution and of Lis dig- ease was as helpful to Dr. Quain.” DR QUAIN WAS EQUALLY LOUD in.his praiscot Dr. Kidd, who was thor- oughly acquainted with the history of the case. Nevertheless the incident has caused great excltement among the profes: On - the 1uh inst., at a meet- ing held at the College of Phy- sicians, Dr. Quain was ed to explain liis conduet. His answer is recorded in the above narrative. Dr. Quain justifics his conduct by saying that, ha n a position of great difficulty, he had been called upon to perform a duty in which he felt that his decision must be of considerable importance to the vrofession, and might be of " vital interest to the patient and publie, but he had acted according to s clear sense of duty, and froni no other maotive. DR KIDD thus cxplains his position: “Although a reported homeouvath, I desire, once for all, to disclaim any such party designation. igned all conncetion with the hie Hospital and Society. In a very nsive practice; extending over thir- ty-four years, I have always adopted that course of treatment which my own study amd experience have taught me {o be most effeetual to my patients. Herein [ lay elaim 0 having acted astany man does who is not bound by the trammels of werely mechanical routine. Like older practitioners, 1/ use the drugs of the Brit- ish pharmacopwia, but in many cases. I have learned from experience that what are called homeopathic remedies may be usefully prescribed. Sueh remedies I freely use in suitable cases, and according to my own judgment. I do not preseribe lu- finitesimal doses, nor do I prescribe aceord- ing to the caprice of my patient.” DE. KIDD TIILS CONCLUDES his letter of explanation as to the rnles of professional etiquet, which have been violated: “Itis lmpossible within the lim- its of this letter ‘to discuss the en- tire question, but I am - con- vinced that, if the Board of ' the medical profession, above set forth, is hence- forth toremain 2 living principle of conduet, we must be guided, not. by the misleading flicker of prejudice and jealousy, but rather by the clear, convincing light of humanity and cowmmon sense.” FORTUNATELY at the time this controversy was goinz on, the noble patient’s condition was not so dan- merous as it afterward became—not that it is supposed Lord Beaconstield had not the most skillful attendance; but had this not been the case, it appears to be a dogma of the profession, as expounded by Sir William Jenner and Sir William Gull, that sooner should the patient die than the rules of professional etiquet be broken. THL AMERICAN SILVER COMMISSIONERS, Ex-Secretary Evarts and family, and Messrs. Thurman and Howe, with Miss Sherman, ar- rived here by the Arizonaon Thursday, after a wonderfully quick passage.

Evarts said he regretted the enees existing between the President differ and a seetion of the Republican party in the ‘Senate, but thought they were not serious and would soon blow over. His main inter- est now is concentrated in his new duties, which he considers searcely inferior in im- portance toanything he has ever undertaken. SECRETARY WINDOM'S FINANCIAL SCHEME. ‘The Economist says that the action of Sec- retary Windom in calling in the & per cents maturing in June, with the option of renewal aL 8¢ per cent, ought to be agreeable to the National banks. It thinks the question as to the 53 maturing in May can sately be left for decision by the new Congress, as the Zain of a half yearis notso great as to ne- cessitate any immediate action. PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S DIFFICULTIES. The Suturday Review, in an article on President Garfields difficulties, says he probably knew before that the President's chair is not a bed of roses. “The peculiar felcity of the Unlted States,” the Re- view says, “is that American citizens cau afford to occupy themselves with controversies which may be decided either way withont serious political disad- vantage. It isnuch better that a legislative body should be at; leisure to amuse itself with a question of petty patronage than that, like the English Parliament, it should be employed on medsures which go to the root of the doctrine b property.

New Yongk, Aoril 16.—The mysterious and redoubtable Patrick Coleman, who has carned for himself so much notoriety as one of the particioants in the plot to blow up the London Mansion House, has at last con- sented to reveal himself, and to narrate the clrcumstances connected with that celebrated case.” The conjectures about his- arrival by the Australia were all unfounded. Coleman did not arrive in the city until last Wednesday, and then he came stealthily and unheralded. Ilis friends, who had been advised of his movements, purposely created the belief that he was a passenger on board the Australia, in order to deceive the authori- ties, who, it was feared, had they learned of Coleman’s whereabouts, might take meas- ures to intereept and capture him. COLEMAN'S REAL NAME IS PATRICK MOORE. Ile tells the story of the attempt to destroy the Mansion House, London, and says that O’Donneil, Mooney, and bimself were in- work. O’Donnell and Mooney were to have placed the powder in Dposition, ignited the fuse, and made good their escape. He (Coleman) was detailed to convey the confederaies’ traps-to a railroad station, where he would await their arrival afterthe explosion, and the three conspira- tors were then to take a midnight train | to a designated place, and subsequent- Iy endeavor to leave England in order to escape the consequences of their act. The reason why Coleman was detailed to perform a subordinate positon, contrary to his wishes, was, he said, because he hud lived in London for fourteen jyears, during which time he had been con- nected with Irish matters, and “he was, in consequence, well known to the police and detectives, who regarded himasa suspicious person. It was, there- fore, thought advisable to keep him out of the wuy pending the accomplishmentof their design. Coleman says NT IN A FERMENT OF EXCITEMENT, and that spies are as numerous as they ever were in St. Petersburg. Detectives abonnd have a verfect net-work of datect also know everything going at Scotland Yard. He says that more surprises are in store for her Majesty’s Governinent, and it will not be lonx before his eQients are verified. O’Donnell is ia Providencs and Mooney in Paris. JONIN FRANKENSTIEN. AN ARTIST, SCULPTUR, AND ACTHOR. Speciat Dispatch o The hicnss Tribisse- NEW YoRs, April 16.—John Frankenstein an eceentric sculvtor, painter, and author, said to have been a papil of Hiram Powers, was to-duy found dead in a house at Swi.h and Gtton avenues, East New York, where lie had lived alone for sowe years. Frankenstein ! was found lying onasofa, and had appar- ently beer dead forseverul hours. A heap of conl and wood and hundreds of newspa- pers first met the eye on ente: A table In another room w: eggs, many of them broken. Beside it stood a small eylinder stove, with a heap of ashes about ft, as if they had been drawn out on the floor as the fire burned down and new coal was added. Ona box in the middie of the floor stood an unfinished * CLAY DUST OF GOETHE, with modeling tools besidé it. Apperently the sculptor, feeling faint, had stopped to rest awhile, as' a damp linen cloth used to protect the clay had been thrown over the bust. Sititug on the sofa, he had doubtless fallen back and’ died. The stereotype plates of a satirical poem were among the objects in the room. Frankenstein was about 65 years of age, and was born in Ouio. HIs first work was offered in Cinein- nati with poor financial success. e was at one time 1n the Legislature, and endeavored to have a bill passed establishing a fund to | assist young artists, but failed.. After living in Philadelphia he came to New York, and for the last five years he has led a hermit’s life, where ne died. AN INQUEST was held, and a verdiet of death from gen- eral debility was rendered. The man had about $200 in his pockets, and other sums were found in his room. From letters in his own writing he seems to have had an attach- ment for a woman deserived as beautiful, but had refused matrimony, hoping for suc- cess and fawe. The woney he left will. be used to bury him. THE REVISED BIBLE. LEADING CLERGYMEN REGARD IT WITH FivOR - - £ Special Dispatch. & Chifeagn Tribune. New Yors, April 16.—The leading clerg; men of New York who have hiad the oppor- tunity to zather definit knowledge regarding the revised New -Testament appear to be greatly in favor ‘of 'the new version.. The Rev. Dr. Henry C. Potter, of Grace Church, says he thinks it may be assumed that the Protestant Episcopal Church regrets the somewhat ungracions spirit in which the in- vitation of the English Chureh to participate in’ the revision work was received. Bug having taken one course, it §as been held to be dignified to stick to it. Ilesays, however, that many of thie Church people are beginning to take a different view of the matter. The iigh character of the men’ enguged in the work, and the knowledge that N THE RIVISED VERSION IS AN/ACCOMPLISITED which must sooner or Jater be brought be- fore the Convention, have cogftributed to this change and made the forme¢:indifference as a Chareh widely regrettedy: * 1 know,” he says, “that the new versjn is anxiously | awaited, and will receive careful considex{. y tion from all ourleading men.
