JUSTICE WAITES FAMILY.
Commissioner Edgerton Says They
Need the Proposed Fund.


WASHINGTON, April 5-Judge Edgerton,
chairman of the Civil Service Commission,
who is an old and intimate friend of the
late Chief Justice Waite, to-day wrote to
the Washington agent of the Associated
Press as follows:
My DEAR SIR have this morning, for the
first time, been made aware that movement is
being made by the members os the Washington
bar and others to raise fund by voluntary con
trbutions of the bar associations throughout
the country for the benefit of the widow of the
late Chief Justice Waite. Fearing that the
construction of an interview with me, printed in
the Washington Post of the ID instant, might be
misleading, l will say that the statements
therein made were for the sole purpose of con-
demning what, in my opinion, was an improper
intrusion. at that time, into the private affairs
OF the family of the late Chief Justice Since
that time have been informed that the amount
and exact condition of the estate of the late
Chief Justice, require that the proposed effort
to create a fund for Mrs. Waite should
be successful. 1t is fully justified. It
is true that the nation has measured the ripe
years of the lawyer by the highest judicial
honors but IL is now necessary that the bar
should add in the proposed way their testimony
of respect and friendship for the living, to the
nations honors to the dead. Very respectfully,
A. p EDGERTON

A Hundred Members Anxious to Air

WASHINGTON, April 5.-One hundred
members of the House haveput their names
down on the Speakers list for opportuni-
ties to speak in the general debate on the
tariff bill. As a tariff speech is usually two
hours long, If they all spoke they would oc-
cupy something like 200 hours, or
about fifty ordinary legislative days. Now
the revenue reformers propose to close the
general debate at the end Of two or at
the most, three weeks. Even with
the night sessions. which will
be ordered for general debate, it will be inn
practicable for all the men who have aD-
piled TO he allowed 10 speak. The Republi-

well contented TO see the direct tax bill,
which they brought forward for the pur-
pose, eating up precious time.

JACOB SHARP DEAD.
Heart Failure the Immediate Cause
of His Demise.


New York, April 5-Jacob Sharp died
at 9:20 o'clock tonight at his late residence,
No. 334 West Twenty third street. His two
daughters and his grandson, George Sharp,
were present.
Sharps doctor said this evening: "His
recent sickness, as is pretty well known.
was brought about by cold contracted
during the blizzard in Rome, N. Y. He
had been very sick man for
several years. | was convinced in
my own mind that his term
of life was short. He had been unconscious
for several days before his death and died
without recognizing his relatives around
his bed" He was a very mdemonstrative
man and had but little to say at any time.
During his sickness he seldom spoke.
AWARE OF HIS CONDITION.
'One day last week, however, when we
were alone in his room, he looked up and
abruptly said: Doctor, | don't think
shall ever live to be tried He spoke very
earnestly, and without saying another word
lay back on his pillow and closed his eyes. "
But for the cold which indirectly caused
his death, Sharp might have lived for sew
eral years, despite his other troubles. The
immediate cause Of his death was heart fail
ure, though he had been troubled with
heart and kidney troubles and diabetes for
years. In his last hours he was taken with
fits Of coughing, followed by coma. At
9:20 o'clock he experienced a more severe
coughing spell and fell back in bed dead.

WILSON'S IDEA OF A CUT.
He Thinks Sugar Should be Put on
the Free List.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr. Wilson, of
Iowa, addressed the Senate to-day on tn Q
subject of the Presidents annual message.
He quoted figures contained in the last an
nual report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, showing the receipts and expenditures
of the government for the last three years,
the aggregate of the receipts over the ex-
penditures being Sl7S, S,0OO, 600, or an average
of $50 900, 900 a year. The result thus dis
closed, he said, presented limit within
which Congress should move in the matter
of reducing the revenue However much
the Senators might differ as to the methods
of reduction, all would doubtless agree that
the revenue should be reduced The method
of doing this which appealed most favor
ably to Mr.. Wilson was the removal of the
duty on sugar aud molaSses, which yield
about SIS, 600 600 annually, and he suggest
ed the propriety of a bounty to American
sugar producers.

A RIVER OF FIRE.
Burning Oil Makes a Lively Blaze at
Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, April 5.-Early this morn
ing a large one-story frame warehouse on
Hopper's wharf was discovered to be ON
fire. Its contents were coal oil and phos-
pilates belonging TO Grifflths &J Co., and
were destroyed. The burning oil ran under
an adjoining warehouse containing 600
barrels of coal oil, which. with its contents,
was also destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000
The burning oil ran over the wharf to
the water in the harbor, which for time
was a sheet Of flame. A number of small
vessels were lying near, all of which escaped
serious injury, except small sloop, which
was caught and her sails and rigging de-
stroyed. A change of wind, which blew
the flames back toward the wharf, ma
terially aided in saving sailing crafts.
