From earlv morning the condemned

members of the Salvation Army

Shortly after 9 30 Nordstrom was
brought from the room in which he
had been, just adjoining the execu

of four men to keep him on his feet.
When he was taken into the pres

completely. Crying in a childish
voice and praying that his life be

fell to the floor.
Efforts to raise
him and keep him on his feet were
fruitless, and at last Sheriff Cudihee
ordered that a board lx- brought. To
this Nordstrom was tied. It required
four men to hold him while this was
being done. While being tied to the

TO MEET WAR EXPENSES.
Columbia Give» Notice
That
It
Will
Make
Forced Loam.
Colon, Aug. 26.—An official decree,
dated Bogota, July 18, and addressed
to the governors of the departments,
was published today. It says:
“A new aspect of war, which seems
to kindle anew with the help of for
eigners who threaten the frontier,
places the government under the ne
cessity of assuming a different atti
tude from that maintained hitherto,
and forces it to proceedings which it
has previously tried to avoid.
“It has been resolved: First, to
suspend the payment of all accounts
for war material pending, and to
limit the expenses to the payment
of the armed force and the adminis
tration ; secondly, to proceed to ex-
propiiate al! the necessary elements
for the feeding, equipment and mo
bilizing of the army; thirdly, to levy
forced and voluntary loans, accord
ing to circumstances, and to impose
war contributions in order to meet
the expenses of each department
without depending upon the national
capital.
“The governors are hereby amply
authorized to proceed in these matters
according to the requirements of the
case, and each governor must assume
the responsibility in order to save the
situation within his territory.’”
TO PREVENT SMUGGLING.
Chine»« Bound for Other Countrie» Will Not
Be Allowed to Lend.
Washington, Aug. 24.—The de
termination of the treasury depart
ment to take advantage of the author
ity given by the Chinese exclusion act
to regulate the tiansit through the
United States of Chinese emigrants
bound for other countries was today
officially brought to the attention of
the Chinese legation. The occasion
presented itself when ail attache of
the legation called upon Assistant
Secretary Taylor to lay before him a
message received from the Chinese
consul at San Francisco, conveying
the information that Chinese destined
for Mexico had Ix-en refused the privi
lege of landing at that port,
Mr. Taylor told the attache that
the department had become con
vinced that most of the Chinese who
had gone into Mexico in the past two
or three years had smuggled them
selves back across the I-order into tin
I nited States.
He therefore an
nounce«! that hereafter the depart
ment would refuse landing permission
to Chinese bound for Mexico unless
it could be absolutely satisfied of their
good faith.

No naval demonstration is as v,t

by the closure of the Turkish em-
bassy here, which is the center of the
espionage maintained to watch ths
numerous young Turks and other
disaffected Ottoman subjects and
voluntary exiles who make their
headquarters at I’aris, and who will
have a free hand if diplomatic rela
tions between Franc - and Turkov are
completely broken off.
It has been suggested that the
French government issue orders for

this step will be taken, a* it wouli

The
Suitin'» Fear».
New York, Aug. 26—Ths French
governent is thoroughly in earnest in
its attitude toward Turkey, audit
fully aware that at the pre-ent mo
ment, no foreign power would raise
any objection to a French fleet resort
ing to most drastic measures, says i
Paris dispatch to the Tribune,
According to information that ha
reached Paris, the real reason for the
sultan changing his mind and de
clining to fulfill his proimse wssdue
to his hopes that the olistreperois
clamor of the Nationalist party in
France would induce M. PtIcasse,the
minister of foreign attain, to disavow
Constans.
The sultan's great ob
jection to the French concession ii
that if the Constantinople quays
were under the control of a French or
other foreign company there would
be disquieting facilities for the land
ing of conspirators and their baggafi
But Constans gave the sultan ths
option of buying back the danger -ui
quays by paying 41,003,000 francs for
them within six months and provided
the porte with a scheme for raising
the cash.
