Wednesday morning about o'clock, Mr..
Hiram Preble, one of our prominent citizens.
died at his residence on High street. at the
age of 20 years. He has been confined to his
house by a lingering, painful illness Of many
months from which it was never expected he
would recover. Mr.. PEBBLE has been one Of
our active business men for many wears, having
been engaged in the lumber and marble bus
mess. and being Of good business capacity
and strict integrity has been honored by sew
eral positions of profit and trust. lie was
his loss will be deplored.
City Marshal Thomas has made another
raid upon the rumseilers. Monday he
searched the Gardiner Hotel a place kept bv
a man named Preble, and found two bottles
of lager beer. Prebe was taken before the
police court, and stated that the liquor was
there without his knowledge. The case was
continued till next Monday.

Fittston, Monday last, the sum of $500 was

The Philadelphia Press says; The re-
tirement Of Mr.. Blaine as Secretary OF
State will be generally regretted, both
because of the popular regard for the man,
and because it removes the most significant
link between the present Administration
and the past. Mr.. Blaine himself, how
ever. has nothing to regret in the change.
Stepping into private life. he retains his
popular hold without any of the complica-
tons Of constrained position. Nor would
the people on reflection feel that it was
best for him to remain as Premier without
the full influence and relations which it
implies. As chief of the Cabinet with Gar
field he was eminently the rightman in the
right place. He has illustrated his extra
ordinary capacity in that position, as he
has in every other to which has been
called. No other Secretary has in so short
time dealt with more varied questions,
or handled them more successfully. Mr..
Blaine has been brilliant without being
unsafe, bold without being indiscreet, firm
without being truculent and original with
out discarding the old established Amer
lean landmarks. He steps out of public
place for time but not ont of the public
mind.

Ex.MINlsTER CHRISTIANCY
Denies the Validity Of State Documents

New YORK, Dec IA.
The Suns Washington special says Chris
tiancy. recently minister to Peru, openly
questions the accuracy Of the correspondence
which the State Department published Mon
day. He says the part which appears to
have been addressed to him isan altered
version of the letter which he did receive.
He says the letter never contained the para
graph it now contains, as fellows: I'm your
last dispatch you informed this Department
that the Chilian government refused abso-
lutely to recognize Gen. Pierola as represent
ing the civil authority in Peru, and that Cal
deron was at the head of the provisional gov
eminent"
Christiancv SAYS no such paragraph was
ever received BY him. 1t puts upon him the
responsibility of furnishing the State De-
partment with information which led the gov
eminent practically to recognize the Calder
on government. He therefore, can't help
thinking, in view of these peculiar circum-
stances, the State Department is placing up
on his shoulders . responsibility which
ought not to be. In addition Christixncy
saws he was practically instructed by the
State Department to recognize the Calderon
government, although such action was
against his judgment and against his dis
patches to the State Department.

FORTY.sEvENTH CONGRESS.


WAsBINGToS, Dec. II.
On the motion of Sherman, the commit
tee on the Garfield memorial was increased
by the addition Of two members.
large number of bills were introduced
and referred including the following:
BY Hear, for reprinting the report of the
joint committee on the Presidential coun. in
January, 1877. Adopted.
BY Aldrich, calling for copy of the re-
port of Lieut. Col. Warren, of the corps of
engineers. relative to the condition of the
government wharves and docks at Block
Island, Rhode Island. Adopted.
Hoar's resolution for a select committee on
the rights of women was taken up, but the
floor was claimed by Beck and the action on
the resolution was referred.
The subject of Presidential succession in
event of the removal, death, resignation of
both President and Vice President was before
the Senate for discussion.
Beck spoke of the serious difficulties and
confusion likely to arise from the enforce
ment of the act of March LIST. 1892. giving
the line of succession to the President of the
Senate or if there is none, to the Speaker OF
the House.
| Many practical difficulties in the way of
the existing laws. The Speaker of the
House ordinarily has no official existence for
niEe months of every alternate year, and the
| President Of the Senate may have no official
existence at the same time, as had repeatedly
| occurred, and as gas the fact when the assas-
sinaton of President Garfield took place.
| Further both the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House may be in
eligible by reason of slicnage and homage.
| This was illustrated IN the case of Mr.. Clay,
in 1911, who was elected Speaker of the
House before he was of Presidential age, and
under the existing law, if both President and
Vice President had died sixty days before
the first "Wednesday of the present month it
would have been necessary to elect a new
| President
Beck was opposed to Garland's bill, vest
ing succession in cabinet officers. because in
case of the removal of the President the cab
met might not only be implicated with the
President but might be shown to have adj
vsed the offence for which he is removed
Then too. the cabinet members might not
possess the requisite qualifications for the
| Presidency in age and nativity.
| Mr. Maxey commented at length. In his
judgment the law. as it stands, vests in the
President of the Senate dangerous power.
! Anthony followed in the further elucida-
ton of practical difficulties in the way of the
enforcement of the act of 1872. and the ne
cessity for a remedy.
Garland then obtained the floor. when the
Senate Cat 3. l5) went into executive session.
when after referring the nomination. received
today adjourned.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. II.
The following statement was made in an
swer to many inquiries;
The Garfield Monument Fund Committee

erecting an appropriate monument at the late
Presidents grave. OF this amount over
So 200 has slrsa6y been subscribed by the
citizens of Cleveland. This State will raise
not less than 500, 900 in all; $4,000 has
been raised by small voluntary subscriptions

ed to the committee Thus one-half of the
whole amount asked is practically secured,
leaving Sl25, 900 more to be raised outside
of Ohio in order to carry out the plans of the
committee and place over the remains of

easily raised so the association may be in
corporated, plans adopted and all the neces-
sary arrangements made for beginning the
work early in the coming year.

Mr.. Blaine's Retirement.

MI. bL0l0eS W69lTcu1Cute
Mr.. Blaine who is about to retire from
the Office of Secretary Of State. has added
during his brief term Of service high hon
ors to those he had previously won. His
conduct in the discharge of the exiraordi-
nary duties which devolved upon him be-
tween the time Of the shooting and death
Of President Garfield gained for him uni
versal esteem. Every loving attention that
he could bestow upon the stricken Presi-
dent was faithfully given, and beside he
conducted himself go wisely and nobly in
his great Office, both as 10 foreign relations
involved and the more delicate duties con-
nected with the possible coming in Of
General Arthur as President, that the
voice Of criticism was hnshed and moth
ing but praise Of the Secretary Of State
was heard. His State papers are models
of dignity and strength. The conrse
which be had marked out and commenced
in the management Of the relations Of this
government with foreign governments
was one Of singular boldDess guided by
wise craftsmanship and the knowledge ac-
quired by long and distinguished public
service az to the need of establishing
abroad better recognition Of the nations
power, broader and more thorough ex-
tension of our commercial relations, and
the better protection Of our citizens and
the loftier elevation of our flag on every sea
and in every quarter OF the globe. Had it
been permitted Mr.. Blaine to COM
plete the task sot before him at the
opening of President Garfield's adj
ministration, this government would have
reached the proud height among nations
TO which it is entitled. Our mariners
would have sailed the oceans and visited
all foreign ports feeling that the flag above
them represented a government swift and
strong to protect them. We should not
have been troubled with aggressions here
or insults there from European powers.
They would have been very ready 10 ac-
cord us the rights and privileges belong
ing to us. We needed just such an admin
istration of foreign affairs as Mr. Blaine
would have given us. We hope that Mr..
Freelinghuysen may continue the course
begun. and not be content with pursu-
ing simply a moderate. do-little, mildly
respectable method Of managing his de-
partment
MIR. Blaine retres to private life more pop
ular and respected than ever. His work as
Secretary Of State will be closed up when
he steps out. lie will probaly take short
trip South and then return to his Wash
ton home for the winter. He needs rest
from public cares and responsibilities.
Much as he is interested in public affairs
he will greatly enjoy the opportunity
which he now has of freedom from the
duties Of responsible public station.
