MR.. TURNER'S EXPLANATION.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE.l

WASHINGTON March 24.--The dulness Of "priv-
ate bill day" was enlivened considerably by a
"personal explanation from Oscar Turner, of Ken
lucky this morning. Some time ago he made free
trade speech il the course of which he gave very
literal paraphraSe OF part of speech delivered in the
House dozen years ago by S. 5. Marshall Of Illinois.
Mr Horr called attention TO the similarity of the
two speeches at the time and Mr. Turner declared
that he supposed body understood that he had
merely used the same figure that Marshall had
used. Some Of the Kentucky newspapers have
been making hight of Mr. Turner, and when he rose
this morning there was fire in his eye and he de-
nounced the authors of the newspaper paragraphs
In set terms Before he had concluded, good
natured Mr.. Horr came TO his relief, but made the
matter worse by saying in the course of his expla-
nation of Mr. Turner's explanation that he did not
know when he made his own speech that the gen.
tleman from Kentucky had also borrowed from
Sidney Smith, and glad to learn the fact.
1t strengthened his own position that Free Traders
FOR generations have been repeating the stale
arguments and worn-out illustrations.
All this gave the Kentucky statesman little COM
fort, and he deter!nlDed 10 take charge of his own
explanation when he received q shock from ali un-
expected quarter, Mr., Kenna of West Virginia
SAID he was surprised to hear the admissions Of Mr.
Turner, and d, clared that had he supposed he was
applaudng the speeches of SaInnel Marshall and
Sidney Smith" when he though he applaudiug
a speech by the gentleman from Kentucky. he would
never have lone 10. His complaint that ho had
been thus imposed Oh brought down" tho House,

A NTw-YORK SENATOR NsULTED.


vTAsH1NGToN March 24-The speech Of Senator
Miller to-day upon the Tariff Commission bill was
bis first effort in the Senate, and is spoken of to-
night as one of the best tariff speeches of the session.
At the close of the speech Senator Miller was
warmly congratulated b. many of his associates.
One episode occurred during its dellvery which re-
fleets little credit upon Senator Morgan. of Ala
bama In Mr.. Mllers introduction he referred to
the declaration made by some Democratic Senator
that the Southern people would probably not re-
turn 10 Congress those Congressman who now
failed TO support the free trade predictions OF
their sections and he predicted that the num-
Der Of protectionst Congressman from the South
would Ie increased as the growing manufacturing
interests Of their section would oak" protection Il
necessity,
Docs the Senator" asked Mr. Morgan, inter-
rupting think the new representatives, from the
South will be III favor of continuing the tariff upon
wood pulpW
II was evident TO every listener that this remark
was coolly designed as personal at
front 10 the Senator from New-York.
Ar. Miller was evidently annoyed and was natu-
rally indignant that tins stale sneer from the Demo
cratic newspapers should be thrust at him by fel
low Senator For moment he hestated to reply.
When he did So however. he said that he
had hoped to be permitted to make his
first speech without Interruptions Int he was ready
to meet the insnuations which the Senator from
Alabama had thrown out. In a very positive and
significant tone he invited the Senator TO renew his
question at the close of his speech.
An hour later having finished his speech, he forced
Senator Morgan to An account by saying that he
would thark tie Senator from Alabama to ask any
questions in regard to wood pulp be might desire.
serator Morgan replied that he had no questions TO
ask. He said his interruption had been prompted
by some insinuation on the part If MI Miller that
Southern Senators did not represent the views of
their constituents Mr.. Miller asked If the remark
was not designed to be personal one to himself.
Mr.. Morgan made a lame dlsavowal, but did not
succeed in explaining away its offensive character.
Dir. Miller then said ne was not ashamed of the
business IN which he was engaged that Of manu-
quite as respectable as any other business, and he
was quite ready TO meet and answer openly and
fairly any questions which might be asked in re-
gard to II.

HENRYW. W.LONGFELLOWDEAD
HIS LAST SICKNESS AND DEATH.


A PEACEFUL END AFTER MUCH sUFFERING-sUR'
ROUNDED BY THE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY,
BUT UNABLE TO BID THEM GOoD-BY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
Boston, March 24-Henry w. LongfellOw, the
poet died at 3:15 D. N. to-day in Cambridge. Mr..
Longfellow had severe attack of vertigo three OF
four months ago. and had since been rather feeble,
although not confined all the time within doors.
On Saturday last he went out Of doors, and before
he was aware of it had become chilled, the at
mosphere being raw and cold He returned to the
house, and at dinner complained of pain and
sickness and expressed a fear of return
of vertigo. Drs. Wyman and Minot
were called. Mr.. Longfellow was fsverish during
the night and was attacked with vomiting and
diarrhGa. On Sunday he suffered severely, and
opiates were given to him. He was kept under the
influence of opates most of the time until his
death. On Monday peritonitis was plainly de-
veloped. On Tuesday his lungs became affected, and
bronchitis of a very painful character set in.
the patient suffering intensely during the frequent
spells of coughing. The cough continued until
Thursday, when he became more languid and re-
manned most of the day in stupor. occa-
sionaly rallyng. BY this time it was evident
that he was rapidly approaching his end.
As he approached the grave Mr. Longfellow was
sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, as
one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant dreams. He talked but
little during his illness.
His death bed was surrounded by his
five children, Alice, Anna Edith, Ernest, and
Charles, his nephews. William L. and Wordsworth
LongfellOw, his brother, Alexander K, of Portland,
his sister, Mrs. James Greenleaf, Of Cambridge and
his brother-in-law, Thomas Appleton. The dying
poet did not bid his family good-by. but sank
quietly to rest. The funeral will probably take
place on Monday.
1t is the desire of the family that 1t shall be
strictly private. The residents of Cambridge were
first apprised of the poets death by the tolling OF
his age. ,seventy-iiye years. upon the =. fire
alarm bells and long before sunset there
were numerous tokens of mourning
dspl layed from private houses. 1t is probable that
on the day of burial the whole city will assume
funeral appearance. Mr.. Longfellow. before his
failing health prevented took active interest IN
municipal affairs, and attended all public gather
ngs bis last appearance was on
the occasion Of the 250th ami
versary of the settlement of Cambridge, in De-
cember. 1880, when, at Sanders Theatre he made
brief address to the children of the public schools.
The news of his death was entirely unexpected by
the public as his dangerous symptoms were not
generally known until Wednesday.
