To Mr.. James Flynn, Corresponding Secre-

Dear Sir Il have received and gwen due
consideration to your letter of the 2s.h ult
and the resolutions therein communicated
This department is ready to lend promptly
all lawful aid in its power to secure "just
and fair trial. to any American citizen,
whether native or naturalized, criminally
charged in foreign countries and triable in
such jurisdiction. There is, however, no
provision under existing law to defray the
expense of employing legal counsel for the
defense of citizens so accused and held for
trial, or for the employment of an agent to
attend the trial and report proceedings.
trust, however, that the President will recon-
mend, and that Congress will provide a rex-
sonable and adequate sum of money in order
that careful supervision of such important
trials as may involve the lives or liberties of
American citizens may be had and an intelli-
gent report of proceedings be made, especially
where the charge is serious and the accused
DESTITUTE of means and without friends. The
department will take sedulous interest in the
treatment of law abiding American ciiizens
while in foreign countries, and whatever lies
within its power to secure the fullest protec-
ton of the laws, and when charged with of
fenses all their rights to fair and public trial
and all legal defenses. No other informa-
ton of the ctizr nship of the parties charged
or of the crime alleged than that contained
in your communication has been received at
this department. Due inquiry will be made
and all proper steps taken. ! am sir,
Your obedient servant,
T. r. BAYAlD.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills. April IL.
At noon today, Rep. j. Henry Shaw. of
Beerdstown. Cass Co., was found dead in his
room in the Palace Hotel here. When found he
had been dead several hours. He was DEM

during the session, something which has
never before occurred. 1t was anticipated
that upon Senator Davis. from Greene Cour-

be done in relation to the United States Sem

into party question, and thus retsrd busi-
ness.
The Governor will be requested to issue a
writ for new election tomorrow, which will
doubtless be doue.

were killed. Dispatches just received,
however, do not confirm the statement.
