WASHINGTON, July L In an extended report on the subject of the occurrence and production of tin throughout the world, C. M. Rolker, a special agent of the Geological Survey, discusses the tin situation in the United States. He says: "No tin is being produced: In the United States, and the tin occurrences of this country are so far of only geological or mineraloslcal Interest, with indications of prospective value in a few Instances. Tin occurs at WInslow, Me., in the form of cassiterite. It was noticed as early as 19. and was worked to a depth of one hundred feet before being abandoned, similar ore occurs In New Hampshire. A few crystals - have been found In Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Martha Cash tin mines, situated on the western slope of the Blue Ridge in Virginia, are promising in appearance, and have been well opened up, but the property .U In litigation, and will not produce until these dltticultles are settled. Tin wa discovered in 1SSS near King's Mountain, North Carolina. It occurs In the decomposed greisen and .pyrites in slates, and. in Mr. I4olkers opinion, offers as legitimate a field for tin prospecting as do the Black Hills In Dakota. In Alabama tin occurs In grains through disseminated gneiss ledsres. Ledges have been worked In Clay county, but have not paid so far. A few crystals of cassiterite have been. found in Texas, but the country Is practically unexplored. A 'tin discovery is reported from Colorado, but little Is thought of it. Float or stream tin has been found in small quantities in Idaho and Montana. Attempts at mining tin have been made in Wyoming, but have resulted tinfavorably. The value of the Harvey's Peak and other Black Hills mines in South Dakota has not yet been demonstrated. They have not been accurately tested as yet, and their management has met with many checks. They are now in the hands of a receiver. A little tin has been found in northern California. The mines in San Bernardino county in the south are the only ones of value. Prior to 1893, 291.334 riminds of metallic tin were extracted from these; No work is now being done." GREEN CLAY SMITH'S FUNERAL. Simple Eserelne Over the Remains of the Noted Kentueklnn. WASHINGTON, July 1. The funeral of General Green Clay Smith occurred this afternoon, the remains being interred at Arlington after brief services at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The ceremonies were of the simplest character. In accordance with a request of General Smith. Delegations lrom the G. A. K. and Union Yet- , erans Union were present, and the Washington Centennial Lodjre of Masons had charge of the funeral. The church services were without sermon, and consisted only of hymns and reading of prayers. The honorary pallbearers were Justice Harlan, of the Cnited States Supreme Court, George C. Halderman, Judffe Imbry, Rev. Dr. Kaston, Colonel Baxter. Colonel Kniffen, Key. U. R. West and Rev. E. Hez Swem. Thus they represented his personal friends, his military associates, his colleague in the Baptist Church and the ministry of other churches, who all loved the lijjhtinj; pt.achtr fondly for qualities of head and heart. Friends of General Green Clay Smith are commenting on the fact that his death occurred on the same day and month as that of his distinguished relative, Henry Clay, who died June 29. 1S.-.2. NOT SATISFACTORY. Deferta In the Pinna Drawn for the Xeir Haiti- Ship. WASHINGTON, July l.-Constructor Hichborn. of the navy, will to-morrow pre sent to Secretary Herbert the plans for the new battleships which are drawn on the lines adopted by the Board of Bureau Chiefs of the Navy Department. These plans are not satisfactory to the chief constructor, and wh?n he submits them it will be with a letter pointing out the dfe.ts as he 'views them. At the time the bureau chiefs considered the drafts. Secretary Herbert sat u president of the board. Four of the live members or the hoard. Commander Mat thws being absent, were opposed to' plans proposed by Commodore lllchborn, and cich cf ths cheers had susestion3 jo

make. The constructor was directed to

draw plans In accordance with the sugges tions or the various members of the board, and it is now believed by the construction bureau that the battleships built upon the new lines will be Impracticable. The main difference of opinion between constructor Hichborn and the other mmbers of the board were that the constructors wanted twelve-inch instead of thirteen-inch guns. and without doubled deck turrets, and the board wanted the armor belt raised a foot above the point where the constructor placed It. The constructor will indicate to the secretary that the extra weight of the changes suggested by the board will be made at the expense or other portions or the ship, both In armor and coal capacity.

Many Sealers May He Seized. WASHINGTON, July l.-No surprise was manifested at the State Department over the reported seizure by the Rush of 'the Salvada, a Canadian sealer. The fact that there is a sealing fleet In the prohibited waters and that the officers of the revenue cutters have been instructed to prevent Illegal sealing. Indicates, the officials say, that a great many seizures are likely to occur before the season is over. A Lottery Scheme. WASHINGTON, July l.-The Eureka tobacco works,'- operated by A. Beck & Co., of Chicago, has been notified by the Postoffice Department to cease sending through the mall their bags of smoking tobacco or to remove from them certain cards that offer a prize to the purchaser of those containing a given number.

The Washington correspondents, with the ladies of the . families, who have been the guests of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Cape May for the past few days, returned to this city this afternoon at 4:30. The trip was an enjoyable one In every respect. Some quick time was made be tween Philadelphia and Baltimore, a little over forty-five miles being made in as many minutes on one stretch of the road. and this without any marked attempts at speed. Secretary Hoke Smith -has returned) from a week's trip to Georgia. E. 31. BYEKS IS DEAD. Parents Ends the Troubles of a Pittsburs Multi-MIllionalre. PHILADELPHIA, July. 1. E. M.

DEATE CAME QUICKLY

DR. niCHAXAX ELECTROCUTED IX LESS THAN ONE 3IIXITE. 3Iost Successful Killing: Ever Seen at Sine Sing The Wife's Last Appeal'Warden Sage's Action. v SING SING. N. r.. July 1. Dr. Buchanan, the wife poisoner, was electrocuted this morning. It was 11:14 o'clock when the iwit-. nesses were called to the execution chamber. All was then ready and Electrician Davis was at the switchboard. In a 'dosed box was the convict who.'nfpon signal, was to turn the switch. When the party was seated the electrician put a bank of incandescent lights on the chair and sent the current through them. There were 1,740 volts on the lights, and when they were switched off again the warden and two doctors appeared at the door with Dr. Buchanan. He walked in without a word and took his seat. In about thirty seconds he was strapped and in forty seconds was pronounced dead. The voltage of 1,740 was kept on for four seconds and then reduced to forty volts, which was kept on for thirty seconds mo're. It was the quickest, and most successful execution ever seen at this prison. - - At an early hour to-day a message arrived at the prison with the opinion of the Attorney-general to 'the effect that the warden would not be in the wrong if he carried out the sentence. The indefinite language in which the opinion was couched and the refusal of the Attorney-general to advise the execution, but only to say that he would not advise Its delay did not exactly please the warden, who had expected that when he acted it would, be under the advice of the State's legal adviser, but after consideration and consultation an order was issued to the prison cuards flnd posted on the bulletin board that at 10 o'clock all the prisoners working upon the building- adjoining the death house should be locked up as well as those employed on the roads. Warden Sage said: "I am not pleased with the opinion of the Attorneygeneral, because it is not a definite Instruction for me to proceed, but as it says tiiat I am not justified in delaying the execution I shall go on with the affair." The warden then displayed a telegram received from the Attorney-general last night. It read: "I do not think . that the last proceedings act as a stay. Have ro further advice to give." The Warden said: "I consider that the short telegram Is more definite and satisfactory to me than the opinion, and I shall proceed under the assumption that, as the proceedings' di not act as a stay, I am relieved from all" liability." Between the death cell which Doctor Buchanan occupied last night and the execution room there is a space of but three feet, separated by a heavy wood and iron door. From this door to the dear chair is five feet more, and as Buchanan sat on the edge of his cot in his shirt sleeves he could hear the guards arranging the room and electrician Davis -getting his wires ready. This made him nervous and he asked the guards whether they had heard anything from the Attorney-general. As the night guards were still on duty they could give him no information and so he paced up and down the cell untill after 8:30 o'clock, chewing a cigar and talking to himself occasionally.His nervousness increased as the minutes went by, but he showed little trace of it when he entered the death chamber. Mrs. Buchanan arrived In the train reaching here at 10:30. and. was taken to the residence of the pastor of the Presbyterian Church. The warden sent her word that she could not see the prisoner. At . the time she arrived they were already preparing him for the electric chair. Mrs. Buchanan made an unsuccessful effort to induce Governor Morton to commute her husband's sentence to life imprisonment at 6 o'clock this morning. She visited the Governor at his home, sank on her knees before him and pleaded for her husband's life, though her grief almost prevented her from speaking. Governor Morton was plainly overcome by the woman's pleading and tears stood in hl3 eyes as he lifted her to her feet and told her that he could not grant her request. She then started fnr K'np Sine The following dispatch was received at the prison, from New York, by Warden Sage: "The opinion of the Attorney-general is misleading and mistates the facts as to an appeal. Buchanan's case Is In the Supreme Court of the Lnuea states. and by United States laws your authority Is stayed. You must choose Detween sup posed duty to the State and obedience to the supreme laws or our country. mis was signed by Arthur C. Butts and George W. Gibbons. BUCHANAN AND HIS CRIME. Seldom, if ever before, in the history of criminal procedure In this country has there been such a determined and untiring legal fight made to save or prolong the life of a condemned murderer as; that which has been made In behalf of Dr. Robert W. Buchanan, the convicted wife poisoner. Buchanan has ' practically been on the threshold of the death cell, no less than three , times since , he was sentenced. On two of these occasions his life was prolonged by the clemency of Governor Morton, who granted a respite of one week at the earnest solicitation of the prisoner's wife and the other respite owing to legal technicalities, among others an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and the British embassador. Sir. Julian Paunceforte. Dr. Robert W. Buchanan was born of Scotch parents on Oct. 17, 1852, and began business as a drug clerk in Halifax, N. S., shortly after he left school. When a little over twenty-one years of age, he graduated from the College of. Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago. He returned to Halifax and soon afterwards married Miss Helen J. Patterson, a young woman of good family. Subsequently Buchanan, accompanied by his wife, went to Edinburgh, Scotland, for a course at that city's celebrate;! university. The Doctor and his family returned to this country in 1887 and settled down In New York city. Debts accumulated rapidly and the-young physician having picked up some undesirable companions, began to drink. In 181), his wife, whom he accused of faithlessness, separted from him, leaving their child in his charge. After this separation, Buchanan met a woman, named Annie Sutherland, who had kept a house of ill-repute in Newark, and she became infatuated with him. He secured a divorce from his first wife and married the Sutherland woman in 1S90. This woman, who - was reputed to be very wealthy, made and signed a will In the Doctor's favor. The instrument was. witnessed by two of Buchanan's Quondam friends, Macomber and Doruis. She was old enough to be the Doctor's mother, and when they went to live at No. 267 West Eleventh street. New York, he passed her off as a wealthy widow who insisted on being his housekeeper. Buchanan soon began indulging heavily in drink and quarrels became! frequent. On April 22, 18J2. his second wife took sick suddenly. A doctor was called In and Buchanan told him His wife had kidney trouble. A dentist's wife and a professional nurse who attended the woman saw Buchanan administer two spoonfuls of medicine to the sick woman that evening. On the following evening, April 23, Mrs. Buchanan died while Buchanan was absent on a professional call. At the funeral he laughed and Joked with those who accompanied h!m to the cemetery and told many people that the dead woman had left him IRW0. On the 16th of Mav he secretly remarried his divorced wife at Windsor, N. S. They went to New York and lived at the Hotel Hamilton under assumed names. As the facts leaked out through the newspapers, Buchanan became frightened ana spread the report that the deceased woman was addicted to the morphine habit. In a burst of confidence he said to a friend: "1 wish to 'God I had cremated her. Then the newspapers and the authorities could go to ." On June 3 the body was disinterred and an autonsv held. The following day Buchanan was arrested and committed to the Tombs on a charge of murder. His trial, which was a very sensational one, was begun on March 20. 1S93. It cost the county aboirl $3).O0O. Experts were pitted against each other and no atone was left unturned by the prosecution or defense in their preparations for a medico-legal battle. The best criminal lawyers in the city defended Buchanan. The trial lasted six weeeks and under thjp strain one .of the jurymen, H. M. -Paradise, became delirious while the twelve were deliberating over the verdict. On April 26, having debated for two days the jury returned a verdict of guilty. IlnnKed for- KUUnsr a Conductor. HELENA, Mont., July 1. Clay Pugh was hanged at Boulder,, thirty miles from Helena, to-day, for the murder of Chauncey W. West, a conductor on the Montana. Union railway.

No .Appeal Wns .Made. WASHINGTON,. July. 1. Up to the hour of Dr. Buchanan's electrocution to-day, no appeal had been filed in, the United States Supreme Court. .The court officials are of opinion that the electrocution settles all legal complications, and. that there can be no further action In the form of collecting damages from, the State of New York, as has been suggested.

DEFENDER LAUNCHED

AMERICA'S NEW CRACK YACHT FINALLY PULLED OFF THE WAYS. Not Injured Despite Its Loner Susptn slon Allsa Defeated by Britannia nnd Niagara by Dakotah. BRISTOL "R. T Tulv i n. nAr Defender, upon which the hopes of America depends for victory over the English boat with which she is to compete next fall, to-night rests gracefully in the water of Bristol bay at the dock of the Hereshoff works, having been released thU afternoon from the position in which she became fastened during at attempt to launch her on Saturday. A thorough examination of the hull by divers has been made, and it is pronounced uninjured by Its forty-eight V 1 .V. 3 - . .1 - jiuuia Bdipciisiuii near mu enu ul iu ways. The yacht was released at 2:55 o'clock by the powerful tug RIcht Arm. after repeated attempts made during the time since she became fast. To judge from their looks there are no happier men In Rhode Island to-night than CapL Nat. Hereshoff and C. Oliver Islln. Neither, however, had any thing to say. The carpenters were put at work on the Defender as soon as she was pulled into the dock at the foot of the Hereshoffs shops and began the work of finishing the interior. Meanwhile the mainmast was towed down from Walker's Cove, where it had been waiting for several days, and soon afterwards it was successfully stepped. Before this time the yacht floated with her indicated water line twenty inches above the surface at her bow and eight Inches at i, - nriirht nf thp mast brougnt her down about three inches at the bow, but 1 4 4 V- r.not.inn at thA Stpm. SO She floats seventeen inches above her water line. But the main boom and several ions -I n n rrn Intit hpf Vpt. SO It IS IlH" ured that the weight of the mast is of right displacement. The opinion was v good authority xnai n wm uc vvw before the Defender will be ready for a trixl trip The cause of the mishap to the Defender is now known to have resulted from protruding bolts used in the construction of the ways. These bolts extended through the timbers of the Ways so that as the cradle came down upon them they became imbedded in the woodwork to the depth of from an inch to an inch and a half. By the repeated strains to release the boat they were drawn through the wood, splitting and shattering it, as was seen afterwards. The opinion was given on good authority that it will be six weeks before th Defender will be ready for a trial trip. YACHTING AT IIOTIIESAY. Britannia Defeats Ailsa and Dakotah Wins from Niagara. ROTHESAY, July 1. This was the second day of the regatta of the Royal Northern1 Yacht Club. In the race for the big yachts Valkyrie III did not start to-day, as a heavy rain was falling when it was time for her to prepare for the contest, and Capt., Sycamore and air. George Watson decided that it would bo useless to wet her new suits of sails when there was no real occasion for it. Britannia and Ailsa, however, started over the same course as on Saturday last, from Rothesay bay, round mark boats off Mount Stuart, Largs and Wemyss and back, twice around, with a distance or extra leg from Rothesay bay to Largs and back, fifty miles in all. The Prince of Wales's cutter led throughout, and won by two miles. ' v In "the race for twenty-rate yachts the course was around Mount Stuart, Largs, Wemyss bay and back to Rothesay, with the extra leg to Largs and back, a total of thirty-one miles. Niagara, Zinlta and Dakotah started In a good breeze. Niagara was last in crossing the line, but ehe forged ahead of her competitors within two hundred yards of the start, and began rapidly increasing her lead. The following were the times at the finish: Niagara, three hours, thirteen minutes, forty seconds; ZInita, three hours, sixteen minutes, twenty, seconds; Dakotah, three hours4 twenty-lour minutes, forty-five seconds. ;Nir agara, therefore, crossed the line eleven minutes and five seconds ahead of Dakotah, but the latter wins the race, as Niagara allows her twelve minutes and fifty-three seconds, and she has a margin of one minute and thirty-eight j seconds to spare.

Desperado and a Woman Killed After the Former Had Snot Two Men. HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., July l.-News ras 'just reached here . of a terrible tragedy in Trigg county late Saturday evening. Frank Colston, & desperado, residing in that county, had a. difficulty with and shot and severely wounded John Rhodes, a farmer of his neighborhood. Another farmer named 'Hammond, who was present, and who was a friend of Rhodes, attempted to assist Rhodes. Colston then - shot and instantly killed Hammond before he could render any assistance to his wounded friend. For some reason Colston, after wounding Rhodes, did not shoot him again, probably thinking him already dead. Colston did not attempt to escape, nor did anyone attempt to arrest him, but he went on where he was going mhen the difficulty was begun. A few hours later Colston, In company with a woman, went to the house of another farmer. The farmer ordered the desperado and the woman to leave his place. They refused to do so, and attacked the farmer, who, securing a weapon, succeeded in killing both Colston and the woman. Tvvo. Men Murdered. . CHARLESTON, W. Va..

Sonfe Talk of Mutiny on Account of the Extra Work Required. It is said that should members of . the police force be subjected further to extra work a mutiny is threatened. Ever since Mr.' Powell has been superintendent the men have been compelled to work Sundays and at extra hours, enforcing the liquor laws. At times this work has been hard. A detail of nights men has gone; off duty etfery Saturday night at midnight and reported Sunday morning to remain on duty until Sunday midnight. Many of the men have thought it was a great hardship to bo deprived of sleep and made to work extra time, but they have been afraid to offer any complaint. Nevertheless many of them have been kefp.i'i? a record of the extra time they have worked In anticipation of sometime being allowed pay for It. Some of the officers claim to have put in from forty to two hundred extra hours. As the Nicholson law has gone into effect no more extra work is expected. The men claim they have been led to believe that saloon watching ceased at the gomg Into effect of the bill. Should it develop, however, that they will have more extra work to do, a rebellion is probabl-. The men say thev cannot be made to work extra time without compensation according to the laws of the Sta.te. It is said that should the arrangements continue the matter wl'T be contested , in the courts. The men were very anxious to learn last night if the new law would reallv relieve them from extra work. It is said on the other hand that each man is given a full week's vacation each year, for which he receives full pay, and the extra time put in by any one man does not exceed that taken by him on his vacation.' s THE LIGHT INFANTRY 'RELAY. Much, of the Houte to St. Louis Was Over Bad Roads. The members of the Indianapolis Light Infantry Bicycle Corps began a relay rid to St. Louis yesterday morning, leaving this city at 3 o'clock, and expecting to reach the end of the run at 11 o'clock last night. Much of the route was over bad roads, but the roads between here and the Illinois State line are good, and time was gained on the schedule. H. W. McBride carried the message to Harmony, a dlstar.ee of nfty-seven miles. Robert L. Moorhead carried the pouch from Harmony to Martinsville. 111.; Ralph Miller from Martinsville to Dexter; M. B. Oakes from Dexter to Pocahontas, and T. C. Power and D. H. Oliver from Pocahontas to St. Louis. The distance covered is about 2o0 miles. No accidents are reported, and the trial proves the superiority of the bicycle over the horse in carrying messages over long distances. The relays were long, too long in fact, and the performance of the Liyht Infantry corps was most excellent. PERSONAL AM) SOCIETY. Charles M. Malotte, of Cleveland, Is In the city.

Dr. Charles W. Dulles broueht toeether in a paper before the MedlcaJ Society of the State at Chambersburg the rt-sult of flfty-tlve cases of mad-dog alarm which he has noted, in which 15 persons were bitten. Of these only three died of "hydrophobia." In most cases, as he points out. people who die of alleged "hydrophobia" are bitten by clogs which showed no signs of disease. In the overwhelming majority of cases of this alleged disease where death takes place It is due to blood poisoning, hysteria or wild fear ending hi nervous exhaustion. The superstitious dread of this disease, almost aito:ethr mythical, has caused Jnflnlte suffering among human beings and infinite cruel; y to good, honest, but tried and scared dOK, to which must be added the brutality of dog catchers. If a dog bite Is properly cleaned and kept In an asceptle condition and the imagination guarded there is no moie risk from it than from any' other wound. A Stampede Kansas City Journal.
