DEATH OF REAR ADMIRAL SToRER.-
Rear Admiral George Washington Storer,
died at his residence in Portsmouth on Friday
last, at the age of74. The Chronicle says, he
was a native of Portsmouth, and nephew of
Col. Tobias Leer, the private Secratery of
George Washington. In 1889, when General
George Washington was In Portsmouth he
visited the house of Col. Leer on Hunking
street. The whole family were present in the
room of reception, among them was babe
presented who had been christened sGeorge
Washington" The President placed his hand
upon the infants head, and expressed the wish
that he might "be better man than the one
whose name he BEARS" In early life Admiral
Storer entered the Navy, and has been an eff
cient and successful officer in the various
grades through which he has passed to the
highest rank-enjoying the confidence of the
government, which he has at all times patri-
otically sustained. He has honored the name
he received, and that early personal blessing
OF Washington has seemed to have had an
influence on his whole life.

To the Editor Of tie Press:
One thousand copies OF the U. s. San.
CON- documents, mo. 60" and Supplement"
have just been sent to that number of minis
tiers and prominent lawyers throughout the
State. Special attention to these important
publications is respectfully solicited.
An immediate answer to the great ques-
ton, whether the people will or will not sus-
tain the institution in its Christ-like work, is
inevitable. To prevent its abandonment, a
quarter Of O million Of dollars must be
raised this month, as stated in the publica-
tions above mentioned.
Can there be any hesitation in deciding
whether this unrivallcd institution shall be
supported or abandoned? 1t has already
saved more than ten thousand lives, relieved
the sufierings gilmore than ten times that num-
Der, and prevented more misery than it has
relieved.
BY all who are acquainted with its charac-
ter and doings, tho U. S. Sanitary Commits
sion is considered the paragon Of charities,
the broadest and most comprehensive Of hui
mainly and benevoence that the world has
ever seen. 1t has become the pride and glory
of the nation and the admiration of Europe.
Shall IT go on and save its thousands of lives
aud bring aid, comfort and protection to hun
dreds of thousands hereafter: or shall it per-
ish, and with it hosts of the generous, brave,
selfsacriicing defenders of our Union and
flresides?
Ii the citizens of Maine respond to this
call, all money contributed should be sent
either TO Geo. S. Strong, Treasurer, 6s Wall
street, New York, or to w. II. Hadley, special
Agent. u. S. Sanitary Commission, Portland,
Me-; the latter being the only duly authoriz-
ed agent Of the National Institution in the
State having any connection with this special
call, and holding himself responsible only for
money or goods sent TO himself or to his care

A SPLIT IN THE CONVENTION.

The mine-taxing clause in the Consti-
tuition, the cause with which the opponents
Of the measure last winter aroused the in
tensest opposition Of the people, and laid
the State Government question out cold
as a clod, has received majority vote in
the Convention, and has raised the devil in
that body. The Enterprise SAYS:
"After an extremely long debate upon the
question Of taxing the mines, the COnstitu-
tional Convention, in Committee Of the
Whole, came e vote, and rejecting all other
amendments that were offered, adopted Mr..
Nourse's, which provides that "An real and
possessory rights must be equally taxed"
When the result of the vote was announced,
our Carson dispatch states that manv of the
delegates from the mining counties declared
that they would appear before the people and
denounce the Constitution, and still later in
the night a caucus of said delegates was held
to consider the advisability Of Withdrawing
from the Convention"
II is dead moral certainty that with
out a fair and equitable system Of taxa.
ton. which must, IS a matter of course
include mining property, there can be nj
possibility of supporting State Govern
ment that will meet the requirements o
the country. 1t is just as certain tina
with such provision the Constitution il
doomed to rejection nearly, if not quite
as decisive as that of last January.
P.S.-Last night the Convention adopt
ed the Mining Clause, as follows: at take
all property, real and personal, creep
mines and mining claims, which are to b
taxed upon their proceeds, leaving tbs
Legislature to decide whether nett o.
gross proceeds"
