The First Execution Under the New Laws of Minnesota Gove erning Capital Puane ishment. A Life For a Life, Lrrrue Farnis, Mino, July 18.—Special Tolegram to Tur Ber.|—~Albert Bulow was hanged here at 1:50 a. m., under the new Minnesota law requiring executions to occur between the hours of 1and 5 a, m. Buiow's Iast day developed no special incident. He had retired to rest at 1a. m. and slept soundly untit 8, but awoke in rathier a shak) condition and scurcely touched his breakfast. Jailer Land gave him a drink of liquor at 9 8. m., another about 11, and the effect was to rostore his confldence and apirits and enable him to eat o hearty dinner at 1 o'clock. Dur ing the afternoon he was less composed than usual, but exhibited a great amount of cool- ness. He did not sing his hymn as was eypected, but talked with the watch snd seemed en- tirely prepared for the ordeal before him, As the day wore along his nervousuess in creased, and finally, when at 4 o'clock Rev. Donovan, of the gational church, cylled to see him, Bulow hud lam admitted and listened to what he had to say. Up to this time he had refused to see any clergy- man. The minister prayed with him and « horted him to turn his thoughts heavenward, but Bulow made no response When evering came Bulow showed nerve than ever and sent his supper untouched, though ke took some drank with avidity the liquor that plied. Severa! drinks were tendered him up toward midnight and he swoked constantly, He had no thought of sleep nor had his prison mates. Later on ho bade the Mitehell boys, his prison compan- oll, in & quict way, and divided among them and the death watch o small sum ho had taken in as procecds of tho sale of his poem,which, by the way,it was discoy- ered this afternoon, was 4 plagiarism from the picce of dogacrel written by Char Guiteau while in the jail at Washington. At 11 o'clock his new clothes were taken into his cell and after a bath ho donned them and was ready. From thut time forward his uneasiness increased very rapidly and it was only by a great effort that ne could keep still for a moment, pacing his corridor with a feverish, irrepular tread. At the lust mowent he said to one of the Mitehells he waus ready and would die like a man., At o'clock Sheriff Rasciot, accompanicd by his #0n, went to the cell of the doomed man. At the same time the door leading from the jail to the enclosure was thrown open, and the ofticials and the nine men chosen by law en tered. Not & newspaper man wis amon the number, the sheriff naving rigidly obeyed the law. The group formed itself on the ground below the scaffold und silently waited. Presently the priso Rev. Donovan ments and pre less, away 1k and was sup was brought forth, prayed with him few mo- isly at 1:00, the dark hour before the dawn, Sherifl Rasciot threw the lever. ‘There was a plunge, the sudden chupg” of the rope us it reached its length, a slight crack of the gibbet, then a fow spas modic quivers of the struggling form and Bulow was 1 corpse. The brother of the murdered man touche the swaying body, said a few words under his breath and wot ina corner while the corpse was cut down and placed on a streteher., The body was taken to the coroner for the final autopsy. The crime for which Bulow suffered was & most cold-blooded and atr rder, deliberately planned and only partially suc cossfully earricd out. The vietin wis Frankin Eich, a woll-to-do bachelor farme: living at Buchinan, about ten: miles south of here.

W. H. Smith put & good face upon tho matter in the house and scemed to bo contident the commitiee would complete its labors to-day.

Anytuing more impolttic than to produce them, and in printed form, 1t would be diffi cult to imagine. There 1s ground for hope, however, that this mistake may be rectified, and that the excellent sense of Smith will yet guide the committee to an issue which will be satisfactory to the country. It 18 not safe to put any trust in the stato- ments which are appearing to the effect that the queen’s savings amount to a £1,600,000 the sum, bye the bye, used to be £5,000,000 or £6,000,000. Tt has come down a good deal of late. When the facts come out £600,000 will be found a good deal nearer the mark Con- siderine that the quoen has been fifty-two years on the throne, this amount does not seem to be a remarkably large one to have acquired, A merchant fn good business would have expected to save twice as much in less time. - DISGRACKD HIS TOWN.

Crryexse River Acexcy, Dak., July 18, ~[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—At about 8 o'clock this morning the bell at the agency began ringing to cali the agency to council in the paviliion, but it was nearly 11 o'clock be- fore the Indians were all in their places to talik, The head man of this tribe arose first aud asked questions in regard to including white men in the treaty of 1868, to which General Crook briefly replied. The name of Rosebud was theu taken up and commented on, These Indians iave some way gotten the idea that there are many names on the roll at that agency for which there are no living represeutatives. The methoa of signing was fully explained by Governor Fos- This matter having been ex piained 80 that there could be o more complaint, the price of the land was brought forward. The Indians stated that this bill was not in uccordance with what they had talked about with the Great Father when in Washington last fail. To this Gov- ernor Foster replied by reading the agree- ment as made by the Indians in writing last fall und loft with the secretary of the in- terior, showing it to be sigacd by the very chiefs who are now in opposition. This seemed to be the principal objection, upon which they preached all the morning, harger and Crow Eugle giving this as a aturc about which they are mot at all satisfied. General Crook addressed the Indians in about this language: “There are sowe half breeds who live ou your reserva- ton and graze large numbers of cattle on your laud, and they and their women are op- posed to this bill and advise you not to sign this treaty. leave it to you if these men advise you for your interostor their own benefit!” You have been told many things which are entirely false, in regard to pay- ing taxes and other things by them, aud I wunt to make it perfectly clear to you that upon you rests a_great responsibility in_de- ciding this matter, as you must look out ‘mot only for' yourselves but for your “children in ‘the future. You should now prepare to leave something for your families und something which no one'can take away from you. Some time before the Black Hills treaty was signea miners went into that country, and I was sent out to remove them. At first I had no difficulty in_taking them out, but soon they grew so many that I could not keep them out. As fast as I took them away from one place they came in at another. It will be the same liere, and the white man will soon be here in numbers to crowd you out.” “Lhe situation in the Indian territory was then detaited and the obvious lesson™ given them was presented. An appeal was made to all to act independently und uso their own judgment, and not follow blindly the leadership of their chiefs. Tnerolls were then dis- played und signatures invited. No soouer wero the white sheets spread upon the table than two young Indian bucks in paint and breech-clouts arose and threatened to brain yone who should first touch the pen. An Indian policeman promptly took charge of the young men and led them away. Tuis ovea attempt at intimidation_aroused Gen- eral Crook, who gave the Indians a plain statement of the sitnation, suying: S want it very distinctly understood that no nainted, breech-clouted Indian will be al- lowed to interfere in auy way with the sign ing of this treaty. If there” are not police enough here to protect overy signer I will brini enough soldiers to do~ o, ana bear tais in miud, that if I do oring soldiers nere 1 will make it warm for you.” Wheu the threat was first” mude General Crook took hold of the back of his chair with the evident intention of braining the Indians, but he coutented himself with telling them the pluin, unvarnished truth® of the matter, instcad.

Mr. Humphrey, of Faulk, Says Every- thing Must Go on Record— The Politicians' Hands Avppear. The Sioux Falls Convention. S100x FaLLS, 8. D, July 18.—[Special Tel- egram to Tk Bek.|—Iu the South Dakota coustitutional convention yesterday, upon the call of committees, fully a dozen chair- men promised to report to-day, but the - tense heat seems to have wspired o disposi- tion to do nothing to-day which can be put off until to-morrow, and as a result five re- vorts only were received and in none of them has any change been made in the arti- cles as they appear in the Sioux Falls consti- tution. Indeed it was settied at the begin- ning without formul action that as the con- stitution of 1885 was practically ratificd no change except those specitiically enumer- ated in the ommbus bill, could be made, but for fear that some possible clause may Ve inserted lere, or phrase omitted there, some members are keeping most diligent watch. The reports thus far made, for in- stunce, specify that the articles submitted are in accordance with the Sioux Falls con- stitution and omnibus bill, but this doe not satisfy Humpurey, of Faulk, who moved that the reports of standing commit- tees should clearly and plainly set forth what changes, if any, have been made, This shows the extreme caution of members lest anything be doue which can intorfere with the uitimate admission. Jolley, of Cl saw no necessity for lumbering the records, but Humphrey persistea that the journal should show every act of the convention and every change mude in the Sioux Falls con- stitution. The judicial committee tl pleted “its report. It has made eight judicial districts, two of _which ure in the Black Iills. A diflculty was found in satisfying the central counties with this, and possibly a_minority report may go mdefining thesa districts. Legislative ap- portionment, is the most importaut work of the convention, and the apportionment com- mittee is findiug some_trouble with several ambitious counties in Central Dakota. This committeo will not report for some time yet. Two United States senatorships are invoived and possibly one senator or extra representa tive added to this or that county may deter- mine the success or failure of certain can- didates, and. as will bo seon, great interest centers around this committee. The Northern Halt. Bisvanck, N. D, July 18.—[Special Tele- gram to Tk Bee. | —This has been o dull day in North Dakota’s constitutional convention, but the committees have some interesting times. The committoe on judiciary decided agaiust the establishment of county courts as in favor of retaining the office of justice of the peace. The committeo also agreed to recommend six judicial districts for North Dakota, and the election of an appellate court, which shall be separate and distinct from the district courts. The prohibition question is gaming ground very slowly, 1 fact it looks s though it were losing strength. It is said to be even doubt- ful if the convention will even submit the question to a vote of the people without at the same time submitting the question of high license, and that means an_ inglorious derex for the prohibitionists and an_overwhelming victory for high license. This is the verdict of the most conservative.
