atty had taken place the president pro tenn
Of the senate had called that body to order,
and after the reading of the journal, handed
to the clerk who read to the senate the note
signed by Justice Miller announcing the sud
den death of the chief justice. Edmunds I'M
mediate rose in his place and in man
ner indicative Of his deep feeling
and the shock caused by the sad
announcement, stated that in Janury, 1874, the
Hon Morrison X. Waite assumed the duties
of chief justice Of the supreme court Of the
United States. During the intervening pc
riod he had administered the duties of that
high tribunal in manner which had made
deep impression upon the Jurisprudence of the
United States and the whole world. He had
done his duty thoroughly and well through
times of trial and trouble. His career was
ended for this life During that period of
fourteen years, there had been no stain or
reproach, no fault or failing, no error nor
shortcoming in his personal or official life.
He had proved himself an upright and an
able judge, even-mindeed and learned. His
career had been crowned with great honor
to himself, and had been of great service to
his country. Edmunds said that he would
move the appointment of committee of five
senator's to represent that body at the flu
neral, and if that motion was adopted he
would move that the senate, as further
mark Of respect stand adjourned until Mon
day next.
Both resolutions were adopted and the sem
ate adjourned Nearly all the members of
the senate were in their PLACES The news
had reached most of them only short time
before the hour of converting, and they had
hastened to the chamber to participate in
whatever mark Of respect was to be shown.
Every face gave evidence of grief, and the
brief proceedings were carried through with
a solemnity betokening prevailing sadness
rarely seen in the senate chamber,
In the house, after the reading of the jour
nal, the announcement communicated by
Justice Miller was read from the desk, and
Taylor of Ohio supplemented it by brief
reference 10 the able and honorable career of
the late chief justice, and presented resolu-
tions of respect and sorrow and for the APP
pointment of a committee to attend the flu
neral. The resolutions We're adopted and the
house adjourned for the day as IA mark Of re-
spect.
The speaker appointed the following mem
bers n committee to join with the committee
of the senate to make arrangements concern
ing the funeral of the chief justice; Messrs.
Kelley, Seney, GroSvenor Breckenridge of
Kentucky, Stewart of Vermont, Carlton
Cannon, Anderson and Russell
The Ohio delegations in congress, both
Democratic and Republican, met at the CAPT
tol in the afternoon and appointed "A commit
tee to draft resolutions on the death of tho

VIII SpangIer succeed winter

The Chicago UerGld has the following
in connection with Postoffice Inspector
Spangler's visit to Chicago to arrange for
extending the free delivery service there;
"a rumor obtained currency in the
government building last night that the
principal object of Postotiice Inspector
Spangler's present mission here is to
secure the position now occupied by Cap
tain James White, superintendent of the
railway mail service. He has. it is re-
ported. very strong Endorsement, in
Guiding Mr.. Hunter of Iowa, chairman
of the state central democratic commit
tee; L. b. Usher. of Wisconsin, and
Chairman Weston. Of the Michigan state
central democratic committee. Post
master Judd. who was seen about the
proposed change, said no intimation Of
such thing had been in any way brought
to his knowledge as yet. Superinten
dent Wilbanks, of the mailing division,
said he had no knowledge of any i'm
pending change in the railway mail ser
vice. although it was connected with his
department.
There has been Il very earnest desire
for some time among the democratic pos.
tai clerks for chief of the same political
faith, and we trust there is some founda-
ton in the rumor that a change is to be
made, and that Mr.. Spangler is to be Mr.
Whites successor. Mr.. Spangler be-
longs to this congressional district, and
has many warm friends in Rock Island
who would like to see him appointed.
He is capable and active gentleman and
would make an A No, uperintendent

Sage - Miscellaneous Matters in the
Metropolis-Suits for Eviction-Sherman
on Ingalls-A Sleep Walkers Feat.
NEW York, March 24-Jay Gould and
party arrived in Jersey City at II 40 O'Clock
Friday night. MIR. Gould was driven at once
to his Fifth avenue home, He granted an in.
terview there to reporters, despite the lateness
of the hour, but only TO say that he was well
ard had greatly enjoyed his trip.
The MilIno National Bank of Laredo. Tex,
has sued Jay Gould, George Gould, Russell
Sage, G. NJ, Dodge, the Mexican, Oriental,
Inter-Oceanic g. International Railroad com
pany, the International Railway Improve
ment company, the Oriental Construction
company, and the Mexican Southern Railway
company, TO recover certain moneys paid by
the bank to the Southwest Construction
company, which had represented itself
as authorized to carry on the work
of constructing railway through
Mexico, The plaintiff alleges that the com.
pany, of which George Gould appeared as
president never had any legal existence
Among the papers presented in evidence is
letter signed J. Gould, II. Sage, and U s.
Grant, which plaintiff understood purported
to advise the various companies referred to
above to accept certain contract with the
southwest company U. $. Grant was then
president of the Mexican Southern, and the
three men named were authorized to act for
the other companies The nominal amount
sued for is about $35, 900 with interest since
1888
Vice President Hopkins, of the Missouri
Pacific, stated TO a United Press reporter Fri
day that there was no truth in the statement
that there was decided disagreement be-
tween George Gould and the other directors.
Nothing would be done, he said, in regard to
the semi annual dividend until Jay Gould re-
tured The decline in the stock was due to
newspaper attacks, and the fact that there
was no one here to protect it, For the
past six years the road has earned 10 per
cent on its capital stock. The same percent
age was earned last year, and the question to
be decided at the next meeting of the direct
ors is whether the usual dividend should be
declared cut down, or passed altogether. The
annual report of the company has been mis-
represented. The alleged interviews with
George Gould are bosh.
