SEATTLE, Wash., March 9.—A special to the Times from Sitka says: Homer Bird was legally executed here Friday at 1:41 p. m. The execution was absolutely void of incident. Bird walked the hun- dred yards from the jail and mounted the scaffold without assistance. On the gal- lows he made a short speech without vis- ible emotion, in which he protested his innocence. Thirty seconds after the trap was sprung the murderer dfed without a struggle. About twenty witnesses were allowed within the inclosure. Devlin Succeeds Colonel Lynch. DUBLIN, March 9—C. R. Deviin, Irish Nationalist, formerly Canadian Commis- sloner in Ireland, has been elected with- out opposition to represent Galway in the House of Commons in place of Colonel Lynch, who Is undergoing a sentence of life imprisonment for high treason.

BERLIN, March 9.—Germany suspects France of a Ithy intention of employ- ing the Macedonia compact between Rus- sla and Austria to disrupt the triple alli- ance. M. Delcasse, the French Foreign Minister, who has in many ways shown astonishing activity of late in various di- rections, is accused of a desire to keep the Macedonian situation in a state of inflammable unsettiemént and of an inten- tion eventually to aggravate it 1o a point where Austria, in order to protect her paramount interests in the Balkans, may be driven bodily into the arms of Russia. France would then be in a position, ac- cording to what Is alleged to be the pro- gramme 'of the French Foreign Minister, to bting about without much difficulty the incorporation of Austrla-Hungary in the Franco-Russian alllance. These ideas are not mere popular conjecture, but it is learned from a reliable source that it is the opinion held in authoritative quarters in Berlin, In connection with the Macedonian question the Imperial Government regards Russia’s conduct up to the present stage of the difficulty as sincere and thorough. Indications are not wanting, however, that intrigues set on foot by M. Delcasse may have far-reaching consequences un- less the Macedonian problem speedily be- comes a closed question. Germany is now moving every influence at its command in the courts of Constantinople and Vienna to accomplish that end. ARE AMPLY PROTECTED Receiver for Dresser & Co, Believes That the Creditors Will Not Suffer Any Loss. NEW YORK, March 9%.—Judge Adams in the United States District Court to-day appointed as recefvers for the firm of Dresser &, Co., who assigned last Satur- day, Robert C. Morris and Charles C. Mc- Kenzie, with 2 bond of $100,000. The re- celvers were appointed on the application of William A. Ritch, who filed a petl- tion in voluntary bankruptcy against the firm. McKenzle said an inventory would be made when the creditors could decide whether the concern should be wound up or the business continued. He added: “‘Books, I am informed, show that the firm has been making net profits of from $40,000 to, 380,000 a, year, and it has large prospectfve profits in orders ahead. Mr. Dresger’'s private fortune is amply suffi- clent to meet all liabilities of the firm.” L SR, Ex-Senator Jones Is IlL WASHINGTON, March 9.—Ex-Senator Jones of Arkansas is confined to his bed | by an attack of grip. & ADVERTISEMENTS. ! i it CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
