COL. EBENEEzER spRo IT srs1EY.

COL. EBENEEZER SPRO IT SIBLEY.
The not unexpected but still sad announce
ment is made of the death of Col. Ebeneezer
Sproat Sibley, the elder brother of Gen. H.
II. Sibley. The deceased was resident of
Detroit, Mich, and his death occurred in
that city from paralysis last Wednesday.
COL Sibley was born at Marietta, Ohio, on
June 6, in 1905, and was consequently in his
eightieth year at the time of his death.
His father was Solomon Sibley, who visited
Michigan in 1885, being the first American
who went to what is now that state. Sarah
Sproat, his wife, was the daughter of Col.
Sproat, who won renown in the war of the
revolution. She was also the granddaughter
of Commodore Whipple, who destroyed
the British schooner Gaspey, one of the
early aggressive movements in the war of
the revolution.
With such ancestry it was natural that he
should leada military life. Going to the city
of Detroit when six months old, his earliest
| recollection Recalled the siege of 1912. At
the properiagthe entered West Point, and
in 1927 graduated from that institution with
the highest honors and at the head of his
class. There could be no better evidence of
the character of the man for fidelity.
integrity and nobility than the fact
that during his entire course of
four years at the military academy,
where the discipline is most rigid, he did not
receive single demerit mark. The long
life which followed was of similar character
and the grave closes over him with naught
but good deeds, pure life, and the most I'm
swerving integrity to remain as the monu-
ment of his long and active existence.
His active military service was in the
Florida war, the Black Hawk war, the Mexi-
can war, and the war of the rebellion. He
was literally pioneer in the military ser
vice, having built military road from De-
troit to Chicago, established Fort Union, in
New Mexico, and performed other pioneer
service. His service.i in the army was contin-
uous from 1927 to 1864, when ill health
compelled his resignation, since which time
he has passed seven years in Europe and the
greater portion of t he remaining years have
been passed in Detroit
Last year Gen. Sibley paid long prom
Used visit to his brother at Detroit, and these
two remarkable men lived their lives over
again for a brief period. When we add that
Col. Sibley was worthy to be the brother of
our beloved citizen, Gen, II. H. Sibley, we
bestow upon him only the praise he deserves,
while at the same time we give this commu-
nifty, where he was com operative stranger,
an idea of the pure and noble qualities
which he possessed

The Texas INSTRUMENTATION Case

GALVESTON, Texas, August 16.-The DEM
ocratic state convention for the nonina alton
of governor and other state officers meets at
Houston next Tuesday. Gov Ireland is the
most prominently mentioned as a candidate
for denomination. What effect the federal
warrant and arrest will have upon his candi-
dacy is altogether problematical In letter
to the Galveston Neacs, which will appear to-
morrow, Attorney General Templeton as
sumes the responsibility for the pardon issued
by the governor to Francois. The peculiar
feature of the pardon was that it simply re-
leased Francois from imprisonment;
specially mentioning that it did not restore
him to citizenship or any privilege lost
through the conviction. Templeton says
he was convinced that Francois was con-
victed under the state statute which would
be declared unconstitutional by the United
States district court. In view of the facts
that the United States district Judge Sabin
had practically signifed his intention to re
store Francois to citizenship as well as lib
erty, 1t does not as yet clearly appear why
the state officers should have to attempt to
force pardon upon Francois, which in its
very terms inflicted q lasting penalty

Mexican Revolutionary Conspiracy.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug 16.-Forty persons
in all were arrested in connection with the
conspiracy. Gen. Pea, chief of the artillery
department, and Gen. Echegary were i'm
prisoned. Echegary commanded the garri-
son at Vera Cruz under the Diaz administra-
ton five years ago. Pea and Echegary are
great friends, and thought to have had no
connection with the conspiracy. Gen.
Chavarria's whereabouts is unknown. He
has been removed from the barracks. His
son is out looking for him. All prisoners
were turned over to Juan Perez De Leon,
first judge of this district. The
authorities deny that any of
the prisoners were sent to Vera Cruz
or Yucaton. The conspiracy is reported to
have been to imprison or shoot Diaz
and Gonzales, under the leadership
Of Jardon, editor, of the La Opinion
National, and two colonies, Salcedo and
rodriguez. The government detectives are
said to have obtained list of the conspira-

spiracy is said to have been to reconstruct
the government, as in 1876, under Presi-

confinement.

Louis, that great conspiracy against the
government had been unearthed,
says such reports are in fact in
circulation there, but greatly exag-
gerated. 1t is true a few arrests were made,
but the so called conspiracyis so ridiculously
weak it does not merit the name.
