Honoring the Dead.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 4.-Governor
Hill tn day issued the following proclama-
ton:
Il announce to the people of the state
with sincere regret the death of Samuel
j. IildeD. After a long and active career
devoted to the public good and the rendi
ton of arduous and CONSPICUOUS services in
behalf of the people, he this morning
peacefully passed away at his chosen re.
treat at Greystone, on the banks of the
Hudson. The country loses one of its
ablest statesmen and the state of New
York one of its foremost citizens. He was
twice a representative IN the state legisla-
ture, member of two constitutional con-
vcntions, governor of the state for two
years. and in 1886 was a candidate of one
Of the greatest parties of the country for
the presidency, and received therefor the
electoral vote of his native state, and upon
the popular vote was declared the choice
Of the majority of the voters of the United
States.
AS a private citizen and in every public
station he was pure and upright. and dis
charged every trust with conspicuous
fidelity. His last public utterance which
attracted universal attention exhibited the
same spirit OF unselhsh patriotism which
characterised his whole career, and was in
behalf of strengthening the defenses of
the country he loved so well. 1t is meet
that the close of such a life should be
marked with more than passing notice,
The legislature not being in session at
this time, | commend to the people of the
state such expression of respect for his
long, faithful and honorable services as
they may deem appropriate.
Now, therefore, it is hereby directed as
a mark OF regard for the distinguished
dead that the flags upon the capitol and
upon all public buildings of the state. in
GLIDING armories and a~rsenels of the Ma
tional Guards be displayed at half mast
until and including the dayof the funeral,
and the citizens of the state for a like
period are requested to unite in appro-
pirate tokens of respect

SAN Francisco, Aug. 4.-The attend
ance was SO great that the alternates were
requested to withdraw until the regular
delegates were assigned their places. The
location of the various commentaries was
designated by banners bearing the name
of their states. The hall was handsomely
decorated with flags and the stage with
flowers. Alter a prayer by Capt. Stew
art, Of Ohio, Commander Burdette read
his annual address. The reading occu-
pied one hour and forty minutes and was
listened to with attention and frequently
applauded.
The address was an eloquent tribute to
the sentiment which called comrades from
the shores where the May Flower landed
to the Golden Gate. His references to
Generals Grant, Mcclellan and Hancock
were heartily cheered. The report showed
that three thousand and twenty comrades
had died during the past year, and
twenty five thousand six hundred and
forty three Joined. The cash balance on
hand was three hundred thousand dollars.
When the reading of the report was
finished three cheers were given for the
commander in chief. At the close Of the
reading Of the report Gen. Sherman was
invited to take a seat on the platform,
but he asked permission to remain with
the Missouri delegation.

to get at it. as the bears gave him battle
from the start. Mr.. LanQhof had with
him two small shepherd dogs, which bold

them on their TANKS and keeping up a
terrific barking, finally compelling them
to retreat and beyond doubt being the
means of saving their masters life. Lang

out with some terrible wounds. His back

Cuttings Offense.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. Popular
sentiment has been so thoroughly aroused
here over Editor Cuttings case and the
comments thereon, that a representative
OF the Associated Press called to-day at
the castle Of Chapulepec to get the views
of President Diaz and Senior Ponero Ru-
bio. minister of the interior, who is visit
ing at the castle. The latter said that he
was happy to present the facts in the
case to the press, and entered at once into
a very full review Of it from the beginning.
He stated Cuttings o%ffense, his charac.
ter, and that Of Senior Medina, and went
into an elaborate explanation of Mexico's
right to arrest Cutting from a legal point
Of view. Cutting, said the minister, hav-
ing been commanded by the court to
make an apology, did so in a Ell Paso
newspaper, but worded it so as to make
it really an insult to the court. This news
paper, although published in the United
States, Cutting knew to be circulated in
Psso del Norte on the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande, and he
took pains to circulate the issue
containing reflections on the Mexican
court in Paso del Norte. crossing the river
to this side himself to circulate the paper.
He was thereupon arrested in proper legal
form and put in Jail. He was treated with
even more consi l~eration than Mexican
criminals.
The minister was asked if he thought
the Judge had acted in good faith. He
replied Il do, and for that very rcaaon
the executive power here could not, on a
demand from the United States govern
meni, set aside judicial powers. The
government here considered that Cutting
had not only infringed the code of the
state OF chihuahua, which makes offense
against its citizens committed on foreign
territory punishable by its courts, but had
also committed an offensc on this side of
the line by refusing, without giving any
reason, to recognize the demand of the
Judge and using insulting language to that
official, and it was clear that the %circula-
ton of statements %1erogotory to the court
on this side Of the river constituted a clear
case of offence against the law
Then it is for these reasons that you
have refused to grant unconditional
~release2 Yes; the government here has
forwarded a very full report of the case
to Washington"
President Diaz then entered an apart
ment ana expressed gratlncatlon at meet
ing a representative of the Associated
Press OF the United States and extended
a cordial greeting. The president said,
Il presume you have had from Minister
Romero Rubio a full explanation of the
case and an abstract of the grounds for our
action, and | will only say hat | have
Just received a letter from the chief
justice of the state of Chihuahua giving a
resume of the procedure of the cour in
response to my request" The letter was
then read in full by Senior Romero Rubio.
1t showed that the state authorities OF
Chihuahua had exercised every care in
treating Cutting with consideration. Even
more, tie president thought, than was
necessary, for he thought it was sufficient
to tIeat him as he would a Mexican citi.
zen imprisoned under the same charge.

TILDEN DEAD.

lie Career
The Distinguished Statesman
Quietly Passes Away.
President Diaz Talks on the
Cutting Case.


YoNKERs, Aug. 4.-Samuel j. Tilden
died at Greystonc this morning at ten
minutes before 9 O'Clock. He had been
enjoying his usually good health up to
last Saturday. In the evening, while sit
ting on the stoop of his residence he was
taken with a slight chill which settled on
his stomach and bowels, producing in
fammation. from which he suffered all
night. On Sunday evening he felt much
worse and continued 10 grow weaker, but
until last night there wero no fears of
fatal consequences. This morning it be-
came apparent that the end was near
DIR. Charles G. Simmonds and Miss
Gould, relatives, were at the bedside a
few moments before Tilden died. He
tried to speak but only moved his lips,
failing TO make any sound. He passed
away quietly and peacefully.
His death occurred in the south chamber
Of the mansion, overlooking the Hudson.
No arrangements have yet been made for
the funeral. Mr.. George W. Smith, Mr..
private secretary, says he has not
received any instructions from the rela-
tives.
MI. Tilden was born on Feb. 9, 1914,
in New Lebanon, Columbia county. and
was therefore 10 years old. He leaves
one sister, the mother of the late Col.
Peltson, and several nephews, children of
his brothers, Moses and Henry Tilden.

MIR. Craig, Of Texas, sail that, far from
declining the offer to be released on bail,
Cutting had been convicted and was now
awaiting sentence.
Mr.. Hit said congress had no official
information about that. He had heard
three or four versions of that to-day from
various newspapers and various persons,
but he did not know that there was a word
of truth in any one of these stories. The
government was doing in this case what
it had done in hundred Other cases-in.
terfering to secure the release of one of
its citizens. There was every prospect OF
co operation by Mexico, and he did not
believe that the Democratic secretary was
so incompetent that he could not success
fully carry on this case with Mexico when
he had been so successful in other cases.
The secretary knew that he had the back
ing Of all congress and all Americans in
defending the rights of Americans every
where.
Mr.. King of Louisiana said that Con-
sui Brigham was a constituent Of his and
he knew him to be a man of high stand
ing and learning and fully qualified for
the position he held.
MIR. Belmont of New York was some
what surprised that his colleague (NIr.
Hit should have changed his opinion on
this subject. His friend denied that
Mexico had refused the demands of this
country, but he could find no better au-
thority than the secretary of state, and
that officer declared Mexico had refused
to release Cutting. He commented upon
and denied the correctness of the position
taken by Mexico and upon which the case
hangs
Pending further discussion the house
adjourned until 10 o'clock to morrow.

Though there may be greater gluttons
than the citizens Of Naples, yet the Nea-
politans are very fond, not only of eat
ing, but of talking of what they eat.
When there is a dead pause, or when the
conversation is about to take a melan-
choly turn, nothing is more common
than for one OF the party to smack his
lips and say: "Parliamo di cose ale
gre Qet us speak of merry things. What
have you had for dinner to-day?' or
"what are you going to have for dinner
to-day?' as the hour may be when the
conversation takes place. No sooner is
the keynote struck than n after the
other they all begin to count their dishes
on their fingers, and run through a
gamut Of them with an JUNCTION and en-
ergy of delivery and gesticulation which,
aided with w~ell-rounded periods, and
the sots.ding superlatives of the Italian
language, render their dialogues very
striking The Caterer.
