The Last Days of Judge Chase.

The Tribune says Judge Chase spent Sunday
qnietly, riding in the afternoon at Central Park
Monday morning some of his friends who had
learned of his arrival in the city came to pay
their respects, and with one of the most init
mate and trusted OF them, Hiram Barney, he
walked down Fifth avenue and discussed in
pleasant and familiar way the topics of the
hour, and among them Charles Francis Adams
Grafton on Mr.. Seward In parting Mr.. Chase
urged Mr.. Barney to come and see him often,
and exacted a promise that he should come on
Wednesday morning. He did so, and came
just in time to see him die. Monday evening
there was not discernable any shadow of the
disaster 50 fast approaching. He seemed in
his usual health and in very good spirits, al
though complaining Of little fatigue, and en-
tered into an animated conversation with those
friends who were preseat. To one of them he de-
morning he was to have gone to Boston, remain
ing there with relatives two or three weeks. Re-
turning his intention was to stop in this city a
few DAYS on his way to Washington, and after
completing matters of business and domestic
interest, then to make the journey to Colorado
Cincinnati and at other points along the route.
These plans he gave with the repeated and en-
phasized condition IF 1 live" About 10
O'clock. the usual hour for retiring, he said,

the last words he spoke, except, perhaps, that

place. Tuesday morning at about half-past six
O'clock his servant entering the room found
him sleeping quietly with his hand under his
face, as he habitually lay. Onapproaching the
bed a few minntes later the servant saw the
Chief-Justice was seized with spasm, the fea-
lures being convulsed and slight foam aPpearIf
ing on the lips. Drs. John G. Perry, Metcalf
and Clarke were at once summoned, and 1t was
pronounced an apoplectic attack with paraly-
SIS Of the left side. The paralysis of the attack
OF June, 1S70,was of the right side and had vir-
tually disappeared, there being still very slight
traces ace OF 1T on the lips and right hand.
;, This attack was the more unexpected from
tne Iact that MI. Chase was assured by his ply
slcla1 last summer that there was no longer
any danger of recurrence of paralytic at
tack. From the time Of the attack on Tuesday
morning he remained entirely unconscious.
His head was motionless, while the right arm
was restlessly active The convulsive spasms
required frequently during the day, and the
doctors finally placed their patient under the
influence of chloroform, which was applied on
q handkerchief to the face whenever a spasm
was seen to be approaching. Its effect was

important part allowing either Of the roads

CAPTAIN WILLIAMS of the Inflated steam
ship Atlantic has seen fit to bring himself he
fore the public in letter published in tho
Halifax Chronicle, in which he assumes tha
air of man who is censured for what he can
not be held responsible. He speaks of the
dangerous coast of Nova Scotia, Of the exist
ance and strength ofvariable currents in the
waters adjacent, and finally declares that
there were on board the Atlantic as able a
set OF navigators and seamen and officers as
ever navigated' ship" That is, Captain
winans as a defense virtually says that a
sup manned py able and experienced seamen,
recklessly sailed it upon the reunited danoers

soundings, or reducingthe rate of speed or
without the commander being on deck. and

Now that Massachusetts has nearly secur-
ed its Hoosac tunnel, its legislature, wise
men and newspapers are puzzled what to do
with it. They would find it the easiest way
to be rid of it to give it away, but it has cost
the people several million dollars they
want some return. Others would have the
State purchase the railroads that would nat
urally use it and gointo the railroading busi-
ness; but this would be like buying vast

THE latest intelligence from Cakes Ames is
to. the effect that there is 10 hope of his
recovery. His right side is paralyzed and he
is deprived of the power of speech, though he
is able to recognize his friends. Mr.. Ames
was born in the town of Easton, where he
has always lived, January 10th 1904. There
he obtained acommon school education, there
he served ASIAN apprentice at making shovels,
there he became great manufacturer and
capitalist, and there he will be buried will,
two generations of his ancestors. He frs en-
tered public life as amember of the Executive
Council of Massachusetts in 1850. He was
first elected to the thirty-eighth Congress
and continued until last March. The build
ing of the Union Pacific Railroad is due more
70 his efforts than to those of any other sim
gle individual.

THE exports of domestic produce from the
port of New York the past week reached the
enormous total of over $500, 000-the lar
gest amount ever sent from any port of the
United States in like period. l. indicates
the rapid expansion Of our foreign trade, and
that too on the favorable side of the balance
sheet Forthe expired portion of 1873, the
total exports of New York have been $685.
100000, while the importations have been
$157,OO0,oOO. As New York exports only
two-ffths OF all the exports of the country
and receives -two-thirds of al the imports, it
will be seen by this ratio that it is probable
that the exports of the country for the part
of1s73 that has expired, exceed the imports
an exhibit that is fit for real congratulation
and showing that our foreign trade is in a
healthier condition than for many years.
