Before dark last night morbid
crowds had assembled iu the vicinity
or the jail. 1 here was nothing to sot?
cxoopt the gray walls and the oe
caaioual opouiug of the heavy doors to
admit some official, yet they lingered
in the vicinity, waiting for the tragic
event At midnight the throng uuin
bered several hundred.
Hayward's swell dinner, "the last
supper," as he profanely expressed it,
was served asccordiug to his desire,
shortly after 1 0 o'clock, and he par
took of it with apparent relish. Father
Timothy arrived shortly after not
upon the summons of the condemned
man, but iu case that at the last mo
ment a wish might be expressed by the
unrepentant man for a spiritual ad
riser. In the eveuiug Hayward had
a talk with his attendants and laughed
and joked on his approaching execu

ing the windows of the jail looking
into the alley, Harry noticed him and
shouted:
mat s rignt; mock out tiie gaping
crowd. People wishing to see me will
have to call at the morgue, as I intend
to change my quarters," and he
laughed as he said it.

SENSATION IN THE HOUSE.
Repreentative Barrett Deaired the Ins
peac-huient ofMlniater Bajard
Washington, Deo. 12. Represent
tive Barrett or Alassacnusetts, enjoys
the distinction of being the author of
the most thrilling incident of the pres
ent house. He threw a bombshell into
that body soon after it convened, by
offering a resolution to impeach Thorn
aa F. Bayard, ex-secretary of state and
bow United States ambassador to the
court of St James, for high crimes and
misdemeanors. The grounds advanced
were utterances of Mr. Bayard deliver
ed before the Edinburgh, Scotland,
Philosophical Institute, November 7.
In this speech Mr. Bayard spoke of
"protection" as a form of "state so
cialism ' and said it had done more to
foster "class legislation," "breed ini
quity," "corrupt publio life," "lower
the tone of national representation"
and "divorce ethics from politiocs"
than any other single cause. Such re
flections in the government polny by a
United States ambassador before a for
eign audience, the resolution cited,
were in serious disregard of the pro
prieties of his obligation, and calcu
lated to injure our national reputation.
It concluded by instructing the foreign
committee, which was empowered to
send for persons and papers, to inves
tigate and report "by impeachment or
otherwise."
Barrett's resolution had been pre
ceded by one by McCall of Massachu
setts milder in tone. McCall's resolu
tion had went down before an ob
jection, and it was then that Barrett
prang nis impeaenment resolution as
one constituting a question of privilege.

It is also due the independent gov

COFFEE SCHEME
'lantatlon In thr S.nn .loa-
iuln Valley.
San Francisco, Dec. 12. Colonel C.
F. Crocker is going to start a coffee
jdautatiou iu tho San Joaquin valley,
and if his experiment proves successful
the fertile rauches thereabouts will
have u boom that will bo without
precedent. The Pacific Muil steamer
San Juan, which arrived last Sunday,
brought from Central America 1,000
yearling plants with which Colonel
Crocker will commence his interesting
venture. Just where in tho valley
Colonel Crocker proposes to locate his
plantation la not now known. Tho
colonel is out of town and left no
word. The plants will be set out this
fall, most likely, but six years must
elapse before they will lie old enough
to bear berries, aud not uutil that time
will the success or failure of the exper
iment be kuowu.
Scientists who have studied tho soil
and climate of Sail Joaquin valley are
somewhat doubtful as to whether coffee
plants will thrive there. The coffee
plant not only requires fertile soil aud
plenty of sunlight, but a certain
amount of moisture, and that is where
the rub comes in California. The soil
is rich enough and tho heat sufficient,
but there is a scarcity of other requirements.

neither the men who woundod the Eng

The seini-aiiuual meeting of the I'ro
vincial Board of Horticulture, which
was in session at Victoria, adjourned
to meet again during the tiext sitting
of the legislature. Monday was devot
ed to tho consideration of correspond
ence, coming from the different Austrn-
lasian colonies. South Africa, the east
; erti province, and several of the Ameri
can states. Agricultural reports anil
bulletins are received from all these
sources, containing the best informa
tion available. The second day's ses
sion, was taken up with quarantine
mutters suit the comparing of note on
the progress of horticulture in British
Columbia. It was found that fruit
growing had received a great impetu
of late, and that there had Is-en gener
al compliance with the horticultural
and quarantine regulation on the part
of those engaged in the industry, and.
therefore, no changes in them were
considered to be necessary. The five
horticultural districts in the province
having been mapped out, it was decid
ed that in each of these meetings should
lie hold, at which lectures will bo given
on fruitgrowing, with particular alien,
tion to planting aud pruning. The
only difficulty the board has to coiiti-iid
with is the financial one, but tlm most i
possible is made of tho provincial gov
eminent grant. To Fruit Inspector
Palmer' discreetness and good judg
ment the board attributes the hurnioiir
of folding among the fruit growers of
the province. The inspector they re
gard as a most valuable officer, wel

to impart useful information. '
