His Counsel Propose to Carry an Interest- ing Question to the Supreme Court. ‘The next date for the execution of the death fentence in the District is Friday, November 1, and the doomed man is Wm. Douglass Cross, convicted of the murder of his wife near Cand 7th streets southwest on the night of October 10, 1889. Another effort will be made to save hus life through a writ of habeas corpus sued out by his counsel, Messrs. ©. Maurice Smith and Joseph Shillington. Cross has been twice convicted and sentenced to be hanged. In March, 1890, he was con- victed and sentenced to be hanged on January 9, 1891. The case was taken up on appeal and a'new trial was granted. On the second trial he was, on July 30, 1891, sentenced to be hanged on January 22 last, and the second appeal bei! taken the judgment was affirmed in Gen | ‘Term and an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States was tahen, the General OF June . ‘The Supreme Court the United States declining to take jurisdiction Cross’ counsel then sought his release, alleging that the order of the General Term postponing sentence to June was without warrant, and as January 22, the legal day for the execution, had passed, Cross must be considered legally dead and could not be held. The General Term dismissed the writ and remanded the case to the Criminal Court, and on June 7 last Justice Cox fixed November 11 for the execution. | The counsel now propose to carry the question as to | the ty Of the sentence to the Supreme Court of the United States. The case is in some respects, aside from the many legal points raised. peculiar one. Cross had grown up in South Washington and when a boy caused the death of a companion by kick- ing him while fighting, and being convicted of ma ter served a short sentence in jail. he grew up he was employed asa driver inacoal yard. He was married a few months before the tragedy and lived with his mother- in-law on 6th street southwest, and on the night of October 10, 1889, when he came from work he dressed himself, saying that he was go- ing to the theater. To this the wife demurred, stating that she would go out with him. | Upon this it is alleged he threatened her. He le! house and she followed him, he ordering her back and she persisting. When on © near 7th street it ix alleged he put the pistol to her head and fired, and as she fell he caught her. When some young men came w he first ran to her mother’s house and informe: the people there and then to his father's on 4' street, and coming back wasarrested. Cross | has persistently claimed that he did not fire the shot, and that she being jealous, finding that would not return with her, shot herself. Since he has been in jail he has been a most ex- emplary prisoner. —__—_»—___ EVENTS AT BROOKLAND. Mrs. N. B. Malone, who has been absent for | over a month in Denville, UL, visiting her in- | valid sister, Mise Jaqua, returned home Sun- day. A slight fire recently started in the stable be- longing to Mrs. Louis Jullien,and had it not been for the timely efforts of Mr. Belt’s carpenters, | burned, and in ‘all probability Mrs. Jullien’s house and the four new houses adjacent, the roperty of Messrs.

Continuation of the Discussion by the gates at Baltimore. In the house of deputies of the Episcopal genetgl convention at Baltimore yesterday after Taz Stan's report closed the discussion of proposed changes in the Book of Prayer con- | tinued. Resolution No. 2 made a slight change | in the commendatory prayer in the order for | the visitation of the sick; No. 33 provided for | the shortening of the service in the communion of the sick in cases of necessity; resolution No. $4, which had been rejected by the bishops, had many admirers, and was lost only by « tie vote; No. 35 provided for the singing of selec- tions from the 89th and 90th Psalms instead of the rubric and anthem after the sentences in the burial service; No. 36 made another slight change in the b service; No. 38 was a new | | prayer for burial at sea: No. 39 provided that | |in the form of prayer and thanksgiving the | anthem be conformed to the prayer book ver- Dele- the fourth verse of the anthem the seventh Yeree of Psalm 147, and that the Gloria Patri | be printed at the end of the anthem; No. 40 Provided forachange in the special thanks- giving prayer; No. 41 provided that the ‘‘Selec- tion of Psalms for Holy Days” which immedi- ately precede the Psalter be omitted. 2 Greatest discussion was upon resolution 42, which had been sent back to the bishops and which provided the substitution of psalm | No. 64 for Psalm No. 69 in the service for Good | Friday afternoon. The question as to whether the 69th or the 64th Psalm is the proper one for use in this ser- vice has been discussed throughout the church for years. The Church of England and the Protestant Episcopal churches of all lands ex- cept the United States use the 69th Psalm in | thelr Good Friday service, and many churchmen | maintain that Psalm 64 got into the American | church service through a typographical error. | Six years ago the general convention auth zed the use of the 69th Psalm on Good Friday, | but last week the bishops adopted resolution | No. 42, providing for the reinstatement of this | psalm. They reconsidered their action, how- ever, and in asking for the return of the reso- Iation prastionlly signified their intention to | reject it. jose in favor of holding on to the 69th Psalm claimed that no Psalm except the 22d 0 touchingly portrayed the suffer jings of Christ, and that it was quoted by | Christ Himeelf as applying to Himself. Thoso | who oppesed it did 60 on account of its strong | dennnciatory language, saying that it was out of place on such an occasion as Good Friday. Among those who advocated the retention of the 69th Psalm were Dr. G. M. Christian of Newark, Dr. P. J. Robert of Missouri, Dr. Thomas F. Gailer, chancellor of the University of the South, Tennessee; Rev. C. L. Richard, Rhade Island; Archdeacon Taylor of Spring” field and Dr. Richmond of Newark. Among those who opposed. it, were Rev. Dr. |W. R. Huntington of New York, Rev. Dudley |W. Rhodes of southern Ohio and Kev. C. C. | Edmunds of Albany. The resolution was de- | feated, the vote standing: Clergy, nay, 31; aye, | 16; ided, 5. Laity, nay, 24; aye, 17; di- | vided, 4 The Inst resolution acted pon was No. 43, | which provided that the canticles and Pantms be in every case printed with the musical colon as in the English Prayer Book. A resolution was offered by Rev. Dr. John | H. Elliott of this city acking the recommittal | | to the committee on amendments to the con- | stitution of the report made during the last | jconvention recommending that « two-thirds | | vote, instead of a majority vote, be hereafter | | required for altcrations in the Book of Com- | |mon Prayer and in the constitution of the church. This report was presented by Dr. | Elhott at the New York convention of three | years ago, and was referred to the present con- vention for action. ‘The resolution as presented last year provided that the two-thirds rule should go into effect after the general conven- | tion of 1892. Its passage in this form would | interfere somewhat with the present liturgical | revision, and the clause will be stricken out in | order that the more stringent provisions pro- posed by the resolution shall not be effective until after the present revision of the Book of | Common Prayer is comple’ As the re-| vision will in all probability be brought toa close with the present convention it was thought needless to burden the article with the clause. —sroe- LAST NIGHT pe W YORK. | Fireworks on Brooklyn Btidge—Mr. Depew’s Address. After 10 o'clock Inst night it scemed as if every soul in New York was hurrying to reach | the Brooklyn bridge, where the bridge trustees gave ® pyrotechnic display. A statue of Co-| lumbus was one of the set pieces. Two tons of | colored fire, displaying the famons Crystal Palace lights, were used. There were fifteen series of these illuminations. The triumph of | the night wasa grand cascade of silver fire at | | the New York end of the bridge. A more gor- | geous spectacle was never seen in New York. | A luge torrent of silver was started from the | top of a tower, extending all around it, The | fall was a distance of 200 feet. Among other | features wore telegraphic messages written in | | letters of fire and the explosion of gigantic | bombehells twenty-four inches in diameter. THE COLUMBIAN ALLEGORY. ‘The other features of the evening was the Columbian festival allegory in the Carnegie | Music Hall, “The Triumph of Columbus,” | written and composed by Silas G. Pratt. The chief feature of the evening at the Car- negie Music Hall was the speech of Dr. Chaun- cey M. Depew. It was delivered after the fes- tival march entitled, “The Empire State,” which was dedicated, by the way, to Mr. Depew himself. | | Among other things he said: “This is an | American night; I may say an American week, an American month, an American year and au | American cantata, Tomorrow we begin a series of American celebrations that will continue until 1809.

English Episcopalians Wish to Purchase the Supposed Site. ‘The archbishop of Canterbury and other Prominent Anglican bishops are making an effort to purchase in the interest of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church the site at Jerusalem, which, according to Gen.Gordon and the Pales- tine exploration committee, is the location of the holy sepulcher. This spot lies outside the city wails, near the Damascus gate. ‘There is considerable doubt whether the sultan will agree to the purchase, however, even if the money can be raised. The site of the holy sepulcher which has been hitherto accepted is owned in common by the Greek and Latin Catholics, ‘The railroad from Joffe to Jerusalem has FRENCH AND GEKMAN SOLDIERS. ‘Their Merits in the Field Compared and Estimated. ‘The military correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph has written a series of articles concerning the comparative merits of French and German soldiers, He made his observa- tions during a six weeks’ tour of western Ger- many and eastern France, and has shed an ex- ceptional amount of light upon the personnel of the two great armies which watch each other day and night, year in and year out from op- ponite sides of the Vosges. The punctiliousness of the German soldier in comparison with the French or English soldier most surprised the correspondent. The Ger- man never fails to salute his superiors and the latter invariably return the customary tion. He may be in fatigue dress, with a loaf in one hand and a sausage in the other, but at the sight of an officer he stands to “attention,” when the hand salute cannot be given without making it ridiculous. The Frenchman takes life far more easily and only under ordinary and convenient circumstances when he meets an officer does he salute. If he is engaged at the time in wheeling a cart or drinking coffee the chances are he will not pay any attention to the officer. The old belief that the German soldiers are inferior as fighters to the French soldiers, that they can win only through their superior or- anization or through superior strength, is ikely to be shaken somewhat by the corre- spondent’s analysis of the merits of Fritz and Fiou-Piou in the field. He says: “In every capacity Fritz seems to be a dili- gent, dependable, honst fellow. Taken in the mass, whether Prussian, Bavarian or Saxon, he is not what could be truly called an ideal milt tary type; he is dogged rather than combative. The habits and methods of the parade and field days are deeply rooted in him and he awaits the commands of those set over him, self-initia- tion being the rare exception. Summed up, martinet though Fritz may be, his stolid reli- ability makes him a most valuable fighting man, more to be counted upon in action than those | races with greater zeal for combat and quicker perception who cannot endure the strain of that severe discipline which _treata human unite as only parts of a machine. ‘This, think, is the utmost that can fairly said about the German soldier. Ido not go to the length, because I think the criticiem was not merited of the distinguished Prassian officer who the other day told me that the fighting spirit of their men was not nearly 80 good as that of the French troops. ‘Give us Frenchmen trained and drilled as our fellows @ done infinitely more and better work with them.’ I differ entirely from him, because Fritz is really solid rather than showy, and what T have observed during the past week in follow ing the French maneuvers confirms me in that opinion. “I don't wish to underrate Piou-Piou's mil tary genius and valor in the least, but his ¢ man compecr has stout qualities that offset the other. Dash and enthusiasm are first rate, but neither will eve: military history, to be won by study, mastery or technique and faithful adhesion to improved metheds in the discharge of human a France the system of military train mains much on the old busis. Germany, which has from time to time never hesitated ‘to re- model her methods, has within the last ten years fairly revolutionized ant ways. It is almost incredible that ruxsia, since the days of the great elec- tor before all other countries in exacting clockwork and ramrod precision in drill, hold- ing masses of men as mere automata, should now have reversed the process, and its officers be incessaritly insisting upon in dom of movement rather than ex high individual standard in place of dead uni- formity. It is easier for Germany to decree than to carry out the French principle of train- ing, the traditions of the Prussian service were not to be obliberated in a day, and so with their newer scheme and plan of drilling they still re- tain much of the old-time stiffness and precis- ion. By and by they may get rid of the former; the latter ix of more value. “The innovations of drill which have been made repeatedly since the catastrophe of Jena, which, since the introduction of smokeless powder and small caliber rifles, have been directed against close, eolid formations, have resulted in a looseness and simplicity of forma- tion which certainly would have given the irascible Hohenzollerns of the last century fits of apoplectic rage. Much time is now devoted to mastering ‘extending and closing’ drill, but most of all is giver to acquiring the use of the rifle, aiming and firing. ‘There is no twisting and pulling of the recruit into strained posi- tions while aiming. He is told to plant his feet roperly, stand erect and take careful sight. For the festhe is tolerably free to poise bis rifle as it suits him, aiming from the le shoulder if he is left handed and prefers that side. The Napoleonic maxim that fire is every- thing is now most conscientiously believed and practiced by German officers in training their men, f say! No praise is too high, no words too strong, to describe their excellence as military leaders. Doubtless they have faults, from some of which their French rivals are happily free: on the other hand. they know their duty, attend with exemplary fidelity to ite discharge and are | regarding the work as | proud of their positic of the utmost importance to the well-being of their native land.” The French soldier's ability to outmarch the | !f German soldier is probably beyond question. ‘This was noticed by qilitary critics throughout the maneuvers of last year. The Telegraph correspondent noticed” numerous cases of lameness among the German soldiers in the field, but during his stay in France did not re- aark one man who showed signs of suffering even after the hardest day's work. In his letter published on September 21 the correspondent gives an interesting, though in- complete, account of what he observed of the maneuvers of the sixth French army corps under Gen. Jamont: “For two weeks the corps, which was made up from the garrisons and de- pots along the frontier, have been marching, manenvering and fighting among the hills and valleys that border the Moselle and Meurthe, ‘The French soldier is well shod, his laced boots being much after the favorite pattern of those worn by gentiemen who shoot over the moors at home. Few or none of the 46,000 men in tho command showed signs of lameness—a thing very common among German troops on an afternoon's march. ‘Their pace was quick and strong, and fifteen miles, eren with their well-loaded packs—each soldier carried about fifty pounds—did not seem to tronble them, thongh there were days when the weather was hot to suitriness. The French soldier is kept up by his excellent coffee and frequent dishes of bouillon or campaign soup, which he is an adept in making. In the twinkling of an eye, by roadside or in quarters, he has the pot on, and with a handful of wood sets it simmer- ing, and soon serves soup to himself and his comrades. The sixth corps have no elaborate regimental cooking system, with ovens, pots and boilers,such as our'flying columns’ go forth with, and the want of these was not manifest, while the benefit in the lightening of transport was great. During the sham fights one of the four divisions acted as its skeleton enemy. This force was attacked on two successive days and driven back. The operations were ordinarily begun after careful skirmishing and heavy at- tillery fire. — oe the ager of the troops was loose and ragged to a degree that would hove given Ge ees guacies & ond driven the war office to contemplate resignation or suicide, the work was splendidly executed. ‘The were sent forward to the attack at tho most advantageous points and there was far less ‘huddling’ than can sometimes be seen on the Foxhilis. Practice makes perfect, and both the French and Germans drill their men more frequently than we do in what is, after all, the chief lesson, how to use the rifle, and so ad- vance as to de i power.

At that time the possibilities of controversy wae probably not suspected, but it hae since developed in a most marked manner. Just now the two are engaging the attention of the governments of the United and of Great Britain, the seal question and the bound- ary between Alaska and British Columbia. The matter of the seals has been pretty thoronghly exploited; that of the boundary line is not £0 well known, but is likely to be within the next few month, The controversy has been going on with more or less force between the two governments for several years and has now reached a stage where each has sppointed = commissioner to confer together upon the subject and see if they cannot agree upon a line. British commis sioner is the chief astronomer of the Royal Col- loge of Canada. For the United States - C. Mendenhall, superintendent of the coast and jeodetic survey, has been appointed by the ident. They will meet in Montreal prob- ably next month, but it is not thought they will then reach a jointly satisfactory conclusion. ‘The line in'dispute was laid down originally in the treaty between Russia and Groat Britain executed in 1828 and fs there described ee fol- lows: Commencing from the southernmost point of the island called Prince of Wales Island, which point lies in the parallel of 54 degrees, 40 minutes, north latitude, and betweon the 181st and ‘the 188d degree of west longitude (meridian of Greenwich), the said line shall ascend tothe north along the channel called Portland channel as far as the point of the continent, where it strikes 56th dogree of north latitude: from this last mentioned point the line of demarcation shall follow the summit of the mountains situated parallel to the coast as far as the point of intersection of the 141st de- gree of west longitude (ot the same meridian), and finally, from the said point of intersection | the said meridian line of the 141st degree, in its | prolongation as far as the Crozen ocean. With reference to the line of demarcation laid down in the preceding article it is under- | stood: | First. That the island called the Prince of Wales Islund ehall belong wholly to Russia, ‘Now, by this cession, to the United States. ) Second. That whenever the summit of the mountains which extend in a direction parallel | to the coast from the 56th degree of north lati- | tude to the point of intersection of the 141st | degree of west longitude shall prove to be at | the distance of more than ten marine leagues | from the ocean, the limit set when the British possessions and the line of coast which is to belong to Russia, as above mentioned (that is to say, the limit to the possessions ceded by this convention), shall be formed by line | parallel to the winding of the coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten marine leagues therefrom. At that time the interior of the country was but little known, hence the tnsertion of the alternative line “ten marine | from the coast.” Better acquaintance with the territory hhar developed the fact that. the then supposed range of mountains parallel to the coust does not exist,so the line must be established. ‘There will not be much difficulty in locating the line after the meaning of the word “coast” has been agreed upon. Herein lies the only proba- ble important points of difference. The British | officials, it is understood, will assert that what | is meant is the outside ‘line of the fringe of | islands akirting the coast, and to support the contention will allege that Portland channel | was named in the treaty by mistake; that what was meant was another arm of the sea, some miles to the westward. Portland channel or | canal, as it isknown, by the way, is not a canal at all, but an arm of the sea, narrow and well defined, somewhat revembling a canal. An- other point made by the British officials is that | Portland canal does not extend to the 56th de- gree of north latitude, and therefore it could not have been meant. On the other hand the United States commissioner will contend that the “coast” line means the main land not that of the outlying islands.

I should be very glad to know that Mount St. Elias is in the United | States, but that dispatch does not make it clear, if true. “The boundary question,” continued the pro- | fessor, ‘‘ought to be settled soon.

We could have agreed with England about the seals in two minutes a quarter of a century ago; now sev- eral years are required to reach a settlement. | “I shall suggest to my co-commissioner in Canada,” continued the professor, “that parties be sent up the several streams emptying into | the ocean a distance of thirty miles, establish | those points and then unite them by short straight lines. Of course this is upon the theory that the coast of the mainland be taken as the base of the thirty-mile operations.

Col. Nicholas Smith, Uuited States consul at Three Rivers, Canada, has aroused public in- dignation there by his criticisms of the sanita- tion of that place. Last month he made a ro port on the precautions against the introduc- tion of cholera at Three Rivers and used the following language: ‘Soap as a detergent is practically unknown, and a thrifty housewife would as soon think of tearing the boards from her house for fuel as of bathing her offepring in winter.

Indeed, I have sometimes thought that, like the Hindoo takirs, they believe in the holiness of dirt. A large portion of the people go to bed hungry night in the year. ‘There was more in the same strain. Of course when this report reached Three Rivers there was one unanimous protest. A mob threw stones at the consulate and the consul had to be given police protection. Col. Smith was burned in effigy in the public square. Col. Smith's recall is demanded by the Canadian press. —+e+—____ Electric Strect Cars Collide in a Fog.

Part of my contract contained the clause that this organization was to be styled Sousa’s Band of some description. Mr. Blakeley’s idea of hav- ing it called Sousa’s New Band was to show the public that the Sousa who was with the Marine Band at Washington was at the head of this band.” SRATCHED TEN MONTHS A troublesonte skin disease caused me to scratch for ten months, and was cured by a few days’ use o!
