of Premier campbell-Bannerman, In
his speech In Albeit Hall last , night
at the opening of the electoral cam
paign, that the government has given
Instructions for the stoppage of impor
tations of Chinese coolies to South
Africa caused the Kaffir market to
open weak to-day. Leading shares fell
8-16 to 1-S.V 1
The conservative papers refer to the
step as being "the most serious taken
by a responsible government since the
attempt, to Impose the stamp duty on
the American colonies.''
Th possibility of Lord Selborne, the
high commissioner In South Africa, re
signing Is discussed.
' fhe premier's reference to Indian
affairs. In which he said: "We shall
make . ourselves a party to no step
Involving an , Invasion of the sacred
principle of the subordination of the
military to the civil authority," is
taken by many military men to im
ply either the recall or the resignation
of General Lord Kitchener, the com-mander-ln-chtef
in India, who success
fully appealed to the late government
in his dlspuUs with the late viceroy,
Lprd Cnrzon of Kedleston.
While the premier had little to say
an the Irish question, 'the conservatives
will take his announcement that "those
.domestic affairs - which concern the
Irish and. the Irish people alone, and
not us, should be In their hands" as
a reiteration of I the policy of home
rule, and this will be the battle cry of

Punished, the Negro Snld.
(By the Associated Press.)

It was said that Tapley had ar-1
rnnged with a clergyman to signal

Tapley's hands did twitch convul
sively, but Rev. Emil Murray, with
whom It was said he had arranged to
make the signals and who witnessed
ihe hanging, refused to say whether
the movements of the hands were
like the pre-arranged signals. After
the rope had been placed about Tap
ley's neck and he was asked whether
he had anything to say, he replied:
"Gentlemen, I am guilty of this
crime, exceedingly guilty. I am
sorry for it. She led me into It by
torturing me. I am sorry for it and
am justly punished."
When the hangman stepped for
ward to tighten the rope Tapley col
lapsed and fell to his knees. The
doctors examined the body seven
minutes after it had Bhot through
the trap and found evidence of life.
The man was pronounced dead just
thirteen minutes after the trap was
