THE secretary of war has jransmitted to congress a report on the condition of the militia of the country whichéontains some interesting facts.

Of this number 112,190 are organized into regiments and could be mobilized on very short notice. The conclusion is that in case of war the United States could organize the largest army in the world. -

White, of Louisiana, as associate justice of the supreme court was received from the president and was confirmed. In the house the effort to’ secure a quorum to order the previous question on Mr. Bland’s motion to e¢lose debate on the silver s§&gniorage bill was unsuccessful. TUESDAY, Fc¢b. 20.— In the senate the session was .devoid of special interest. Senator Daniel. (Va.) concluded his speech on the Hawaliian question, and while supporting the course that has been followed by the administration, he declared that now there was nothing to do but recognize the new government and wish it godspeed.

ON GOOD FRIDAY. - - . The Date Set for the Execution of - Prendergast. . Judge Bf‘entano Sentences Carter Harri. son’s Murderer to Be Hanged on March 23—TFhe Doomed Man’s Rambling Speech. SENTENCED TO DEATH. . CuicAco, Feb. 27. Unless the supreme court or the governor of the state interfere Patrick Eugene Prendergast will on March 23, in the courtyard of the county jail, pay the penalty of his life for the murder of Carter H. Harrison. Sentence was passed upon him Saturday by Judge Brentano after his honor had overruled the motion for a new trial, entered by de fendant’s -attornevs. :

As Judge Brentano went upon the bench Prendergast stepped forward and took a seat in ‘the front row of chairs in the jury. box. From the expression on his face it was evident that

The couriroom was filled with spectators. Judge Brentana read a lengthy decision overruling the motion for a new trial. ‘ i ‘Prendergast arose in response to the court’s order, and the crowd surged forward. No attention was paid to the orders of the bailiifs, and -the anxious spectators eould not be quieted. When asked by the court if he knew of any reason why sentence should nrot be passed upon him, Prendergast arose. Producing a few sheets of paper; he began to read, as follows:

“Your honor, I have nothing particular to say. 1 suppose your honor is under the impression that you have done your duty. But this . piea of insanity has been set up by my attorneys - without my consent. It was an infamous, a dirty and disreputable ° plea, and done against my objections. Now as for Juror Murray, it is certain to my mind that + from the manner he answered questions he was anxious to be .a& juror in the case. - - There was something wrong also in regard to summoning the veniremen. Juror Larkin came here on; a written statement, but, of course, the defendant had no control over this part of the court’s work. Newspapers had whole columns about it at the time and it is not necessary for me to go into it further now. We had no opportunity to watch the proceedings in summoning the jurors.” ; | Here Prendergast laid aside his notes and seemed to become animated with his subjeet: Raising his voice he ex- ~ tended his long, thin arm, and, gesticu- , lating like a lawyer addressing the | court, continued: o l “Now, your honor says that Harrison was a . great and good man, I deny this. A good man is generally faithful to his friends, and Harrison was not. If he had been a good man | he would not have been hostile toward me. ! Harrison was attackea by . the newspaper trust. We have been attacked by. the newspaper trust, and if the sentence of this court is carried out on me you will all be at the mercy of this newspaper trust. No man's character or reputation will be safe. I'lattery, blackmail and corruption will prevail. I don’t , know what the result will be. | “The issue in this case was whether I did ! right or -wrong; whether I did my duty or not; whether I did the will of God or not. | It Tdid wrong Ishould be condemned, and if I ! did right I should be justified and acquitted. This was the real issue in the rase, and that issue was never settled. If the court i wants to shirk the.responsibility in this case it | will not be my fault. The most of the motions made by the attorneys for me have been overruled by the eourt, and that was wrong. “This great grade-crossing issue—if you con‘.sent to my death, my execution, my being legally murdered,. you also congent to thig—- . that caused me to shcot Harrison as much as { his unfaithfulness—l am feeling much better than when I came here.” ' | ~He closed by declaring that if he went . to the scaffold the jury and doctors i would be infamous throughout .all the ’ ages. . | ‘ . i Then Judge Brentano said: } “Patrick Eugene Prendergast, it is my pain- ! ful duty to sentence you to death. The sen- ! tence of the court is that on March 23, between i the hours of 10 and 12 a. m., in the county jail, ; you be hanged by the neck till you are dead.” ! As the last words'left the judge’s lips Prendergast reeled as if he had been ! struck a heavy blow., The bailiffs tried | to cateh his arm, but before they conld i . - . % ' reach him, he had steadied himself by i taking hold of Attorney Gregory’s ' chair. Resuming his position he again ' justified his act. He would have spoken | further, but the bailiffs led him away | to jail . A § Attorney Darrow, for . Prendergast, i asked leave to file a bill of exceptions { within thirty days to take the case to i the supreme court. This was granted, - although the . court had overruled his { motion for an arrest of judgment. |v NEw Yorxk, Feb. 26.—A communicai tion addressed to the New York Times ! brings up a coincidence that has not . yet been commentéd on. The writer, | who signs himself “Good Friday,” says: f ' “Has the day appointed by Judge Brentano, | of Chicago, March 23, for the execution of Pren- | dergast, the assassin of Carter Harrison, been | designedly selected because it will be Good F'ri- . day, or was it an accidental selection, and if so, i will the sentence be executed? The sanctity of f'this holy day, reverenced almost universally ! for its one preordained execution, has not in ' the recollection of man been desecrated by ! such an unhallowed act.”" g

: QARRAIGNED. e ‘ Michigan’s Indicted Officials Before the . : Bar—All Give Ball | LANsING, Mich., Feb, 27.—The most | remarkable scene ever witnessed in a Michigan courtroom was enacted in the little courthouse at Mason Saturday when three state officials were called upon to plead to indictments charging them with felonious crimes against the laws of the state. Most of the persons against whom indictmients were voted were notified by their coun- | sel Friday night, and five of them— State Treasurer Hambitzer, Land Com- | missioner Berry, Attorney General Ellis, Sergeant-at-Arms Bussey and Frank A. Potter—went to Mason Sat- | urday morning, accompanied by ' friends, who were prepared to become ; sureties on¢their bonds. ; !

After,thei'; usual formalities attendant upon the return of bills by a grand jury Attorney General Ellis was arraigned on ‘three indictments for forgery, conspiracy and destroying the Wayne county records. He waived the reading of ~the indictments, as did all of the others save Potter, who pleaded not guilty. In each case where the accused refused to plead a plea of not guilty was’entered by the court. State Treasurer Hambitzer and Land Commissioner Berry were arraigned on indictments for felony in making a false public record, conspiracy and willful neglect of duty. Ex-Clerks Potter and Warren answered to indictments charging the making of a false public record and corspiracy, and Seargeant-at-Arms Bussey to a charge of conspiracy. ' Bail was fixed as follows: . '

Ellis, for forging, §5,000; Ellis and May, for destroying the Wayne county records, §1,000; Potter and Warren, for making a false public record, §2,000; each of the persons charged with conspiracy, €1.000; Jochim, Hambitzer and Berry, for making a false public record. &5,000; Jochim, Hambitzer and Berry, willful neglect, §l,OOO. . :

Ellis’ bonds were. signed by George W. Webber, A. F. Kelsey, Frank A. Session and Josiah E. Just, of lonia; 5. W. Webber, of Lyons, andN. B. Hayes and Chauncey J. Rumsey as sureties. Treasurer Hambitzer’s bonds were signed by Mayor A. O. Bementand James B. Judson, of Lansing. Commissioner Berry’s sureties in the same sum are James D. Berry, his son, Alexander Cameron, Wyatt B. Brown and A. M. Dobbelaire, of Lansing, and Henry- L, Henderson, of ‘Mason. Potter gave two bonds, with Lester 8. Hudson and Alexander ° Blair, of Lansing, as sureties. Warren’s sure-

ties”.are his father, W. G. Warren, and Horace Wilcox, of Charlotte. James B. Judson and Washington G. Wiley, of Lansing, signed the bond required of Bussey. . . All of the defendants announce their intention of making a vigorous defense and have counsel of more than ordinary ability retained. o ‘

Another life-sized sensation has developed in connected with the offieial actions of Secretary of, State Joachim, Treasurer Hambitzer and Land Commissioner Berry. An examination of the boolks of the board of state auditors, of which they are the members, shows that they have been making illegal charges and allowing their own bills therefor ever since they were inducted into office. ,

He died in a private ear on the Sante Fe road, in which he was being conveyed to Los Angeles, Cal., where it was believed his health, could he have lived to reach there, would have been benefited. ~Owing to his weak, wasted condition, however, the exertions ‘and excitement of the trip were more than he was able’ to stand. The body was taken from here to La* Junta, where it was embalmed and prepared for burial. Dr. Parker and the widow have started east with it and arrive in Chicago Wednesday morning. Dr. ‘Parker and Dr. Finney. the Santa Fe surgeon at La Junta, held an autopsy and found the cause of death to be a cancer in the stomach. :

[Mr. Mackaye was born in Buffalo; N. Y.,.in": 1836. His oratorical and literary inclinations | were of early developrdent. After a- course at Yale university he whs sent to Paris, with the assistance ofY friends, and for seven or eight years -he studied ~ under Deisarte. Returning to New York, he was taken in-hand by Lester Wallack, “Larry’ Jerome and other notables. He became the lion of the clubs and the pet of bohemia. Several lectures on oratory and the drama which he delivered in New York and Beston af tracted great attention and much favorable . comment. Then he went to Tondon, where, in collaboration with ““Tom” Taylor, he produced a series.of successful plays. It was during this time that “Won at Last™ was brought out by Mr. Mackaye. . After several years he returnedt o New York and wrote ‘‘Hazel Kirke,” which made his name famous. Other piays, such as “‘A Nobie Rogue,” **Col. Tom” and ‘“‘Paul Kauvar” followed, in each of which startling stage contrivances were introduced by the author. . Subjoined is a list of the plays, in'addition tothose already mentioned, written by Mr. Mackaye alone or in collaboration, giving the date of the production of each: ‘‘Marriage,”. 1872; “Rose . Michel.”” 1875; ‘“Queen and Woman,” 1876; *“Through the Dark,” 1878: “A Fool's Errand,” 1831; “Dakolar,” 1884; “In Spite of AllL” 1835: ‘The Drama of Civilization,”’ 1886; ' “Rinzi,’’ reconstructed and rewritten for Lawrence Barrett in 1886; “Anarchy,” 1887, produced again in the same year under the title of “Paul Kauvar;” “An Arrant Kunave,” 1889; “Money Mad,” 1890. 5 Mr. Mackaye's latest project, -the Spectatorium, was the most/stupendous failure of his career. It was designed to be a great attraction conducied supplementary to the world’s fair, in which his.recent invention for ‘gra.du”:w-. ‘ing eléctric light so as to counterfeit natural light were to be utilized in a scenic history ol Columbus and the discovery oi - America: Prominent capitalists furnished the money, but the undertaking was projected upon too large a scale and it failed last June, losing its backers a sum estimated at §Buo,ooo. The pile of ruins at the north end of Jnck’son park remains a monument to Mr. Mackaye's impracticability. Only a few weeks ago the Spectatorium, modeled on a much smaller scale, was opened on Michigan avenue, Chicago, where it is now running.] : - 2

. MICTIMS OF FIRE: A Total of Ten Persons Burned to Death in Various Localities.. . GURDON, Ark., Feb. 27.—News has reached here of the burning of a farmhouse and its occupants 10 miles west of Murfreesboro, in Pike county, on Wednesday night. John Wert, a farmer, his wife and five chiidren occupied the: house and all perished in the flames.” ~ The building was constructed of logs, with a large fireplace built at each end. While the family were asleep fire flew upon the floor and in that manner the dry timbers and other inflammable material soon became ignited. When discovered next day the entire building was reduced to ashes and ‘only the charred bodies of the occupants remained. : VINELAND, N. J., Feb: 27.—Two lives were lost and a score placed in imminent peril by a fire which consumed a portion of the state home for feebleminded children at this place Sunday. The victims were J. H. Sage, the engineer of the institution, and his wife; who acted as laundress. ‘The fire was discovered in the basementof the handsome three-story brick structure known as ‘‘the Robinson memorial college.”

New Yorxk, Feb. 27.—A fire attended with loss of life occurred early Sunday morning in the three-story frame house at 1952 Amsterdam avenue. On the first floor of the tenement lived Michael Wundt and his wife, who was sick in bed with her infant child, and Annie K. Laub, a servant. It took Wundt a long time to make his family realize that the house was on fire, and by the time they understood the situation it was impossible to reach the street by way of the stairs, so - they started for the roof. Mr. Wundt had to carry his sick wife. Wundt jumped to the roof of the next house, which is only two stories high. Their 9-days-old baby was tossed to him by the servant, after which she made the 12-foot jump. Mrs. Wundt was left on the roof -of the burning building and was rescued by Policeman Donovan and Barber Schloeder. Annie K. Laub was-so excited that although she was practically safe she jumped to the ground. Both her ankles were broken and she was removed to -the Manhattan hospital. After the fire was extinguished the firemen found in the place where the butcher shop had stood the remains of William Leiter, Wundt’s helper, who -had been forgotten and had burned to death. , Dot
