ANARCHISTS GARROTED MOBK OK EXEITTINU CRIMI NALS IN Bl'AIN, A Brass Collar In Put Around the Neck and a Keren Chokes and Pierces the sptual Ctaord al the ttaiue Time, Madrid, Feb. 10. An attempt has been made by a lumber ol prominent persona, including Bishop Cardu, to se cure u commutation ol the death sen tence passeed upon the tour leaders ol the anarchists wbo led the recent attack upon I lie town of Xeres without succcss lul results, and accordingly the prisoners wire executed today. The platform upon which the garroters were hxed was in the phua directly in trout ol the juil in wuich the condemned men were coulined, and the march trom there to the place ol execution was a short one. in accordance with the Spanish cus tom in the case ol criminals condemned to death the lour men passed their lust night on earth in a etaapel attached to the prison. The whole ol them, or at least two ol thcin, who prolessed to be Christians, received re ligious consolation Iroui the priests in attendance upon thcui. Early this morn ing Imal muss was said and shortly alter the prisoners, escorted by a number ol guards and priests, who.as they marched before and behind the condemned, read the prayers lor the dying, were taken to the plaza. Here they ascended the plat tonn und taking the scuts in chairs the executioners tixed the collars about their necks and m an exceedingly short time they hud paid the pcnultv ol their crimes willi then lives. 1 he instrument of death used in Spain is always, unless something else is speci lied, the gurrole. 1 his is a brass collar w hich is contracted by meaus ol a screw in the back. As the screw is turned the collar shuts upon the neck ol the con demned and at the same time a sharp ened steel point screw enters the spinal uiurruw where it joins witti tlie brain causing instant death. THE Kl'SSIAN FA-UINt:. Ureal (tuowi Interfering; Willi UlMlributlou ol l oud. St. FiiKiiKsm ki;, I'eb. 10. The condi tion ol 1 lie roads has been such that uu matter how large a supply of grain the government hud ut its disposal it could not be distributed, owing to the impossi bility of conveyances of any kind reaching the places where the dis tress prevails. This is changed bow. Heavy snows have lullen, a heavy crust hus tormcd, and goods and grain may be conveyed in sledges to any part ol the empire. Much gram hus al ready reached the famine stricken pro vinces, and, uccordiug to the reports re ceived here, the condition ol the sufferers hus much improved. General Auucukoff, a uicuibcr ol the lamiuc reliel committee, in charge ol the transportation ol sup plies, has abandoned Ins project ul break ing ttit ice in the Volga river to allow ol vessels beintj used to convey grain to the parts along the river. It is tnc general opinion here that the distressed provinces will now be enabled to hold out until spring. The govern ment has abandoned us intention ol rap idly pushaig the trans-Siberian railway to completion. One ol the propositions made to relieve the (amine sullerers was to employ the peasants in the work ol building this toad, aud theabniidouiuetu ol the plan is taken to indicate that the government believes that the famine situ ation has been so much relieved that it will uotbe necessary tolurnish this work to aid the peasants. The section ol the road already commenced will be finished without any extraordinary haste and with the usual lorce ol men. To alm oin this work 1,500,000 roubles arc uu nually required.

Washington, Feb. 10. The February cotton report of the statistician of the department of agriculture relates to pro portion marketed, quality and yield of lint at the close of the .picking season. The losses by insects and price of seed. The proportion sent from plantations as estimated by the reporers accurately consolidated is as follows; Virginia, 80; North Carolina, 82; South Carolina, 90; Georgia, KU; Florida, 912; Alabama, 81; Mississippi, S,H; Louisiana, 87; Texas, 86; Arkansas, KH; Tennessee, 8'.); Mis souri, 88.

The (luulily is the highest for many years. The staple medium, orsomewhat short color, is excellent, and unusually free Ironi trash. The low price ol cotton and the disappointment in money returns have led to a large sale of seed to oil mills at prices somewhat reduced as follows; Virginia, 14 cents per bushel; North Carolina, 1; South Carolina, 1.5; Georgia, 14-.5; Florida, 14; Alabama, 13; Mississippi, 12; Louisiana, 117 Texas, 11; Arkansas, 11; Tennessee, 13; Missouri, 11. On the Atlantic const the larger use of seed for fertilization makes a relatively higher price. Losses from insects were not very se rious and were mainly conlimd to the Gull coast states. The boll worm was nearly as destructive as caterpillars. CONliRDSSIONAI,. What Was none In the Heuale aud House This Morning. Washington, Feb. 10.
