ANNOUNCED IN COURT.
On Hearing the Sad News the SUI
preme Court Adiourns.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Associate
Justice Miller, the senior member of
the court, after leaving the residence of
the late chief justice, sent invitations
to his fellow members to meet him at
the consultation room of the court, where
they all assembled at II O'Clock, remain
ing closeted together until noon. The
attorney general and leading members
of the bar were in the court room when
the court assembled, and the seats out
side the rail were filled with spectators.
The chair of the chief justice was simply
draped with Grape, but in no other re-
spect did the appearance of the chamber
give any indication of the mournful
nature of the occasion. When the court
entered the chamber the marshal an

who took wraps and bottle of hot beef
extract in case he should need them,
but aside from slight fatigue he felt
comparatively well. At the beginning
of his illness the chief justice, fearing
to needlessly alarm his wife, who was
on her way to California in company
with an invalid sister, cautioned those
about him to keep his condition from
the newspaper. He was not alarmed
himself and was unwilling that his
wife'S journey should be curtailed or
interfered with by his slight indispoSi-
ton. 1t is said by his physician that
this was the only severe illness the
chief justice ever had in his life, except
that of two years ago, when he suffered
some time from erysipelas in his face
and hands. DR.. F. E. Gardner, who was
called in consultation last evening, said
to-day that he found the patient suffer
ing from crOupOus pneumonia in his
right lung. He was very ill, but he did
not regard his case as hopeless by any
means. In croupOus pneumonia. the
doctor explained, there is always we'll
defined crisis. At about five days after
the patient is taken that crisis comes,
the fever subsidies, and very often at
this point the heart, although hitherto
free from organic disease, suddenly
fails to perform its functions and the
patient is dead. 1t can not be fOreSeen
and can not be anticipated in the treat
ment. Had his heart not failed at this
crisis the chief justice, in all probable
ity, would have recovered from the at
tack of pneumonia.

Committees Appointed.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-President
pro TEN. Ingalls, has appointed Senators
Sherman, Hoar, Wilson. Pugh and
George as the committee to represent
the senate at the funeral of Chief Justice
Waite. Senator Edmunds was selected
as the first member of the committee,
but was excused on account of i'll
health.
The speaker appointed the following
committee to join with the committee of
the senate to make arrangements con-
corning the funeral of the chief justice:
Messrs. Kelly, Seney, GrOsyenOr, Breck-
enridge. of Kentucky; Stewart, of Yer
mont; Carlton, Shannon, Anderson and
Russell. The Ohio delegations, both
Democratic and Republican, met at the
capitol this afternoon and appointed a
committee to draw up resolutions on
the death of Chief Justice Waite. The
resolutions will be reported to the dele

Postmaster General Dickinson said:

Secretary Villas said-''FOr fourteen

servation of interest and feeling the

tlon. His good report is peculiarly

OF brilliant intellect as giving the re-
poSeful sense of security in character,
training, learning and impartiality."

Among the members of the house ex-
presSiOnS of regret were general. There
was dis Inclination to say anything upon
the Suject of the selection of successor
to the late chief justice, and the only
expressions of opinion touching upon
the matter came from a few Southern
members, who suggested that Speaker
Carlisle is eminently fitted for position
on the supreme bench, and that it would
not be unacceptable to him. They did
not care to say this publicly, however,
at this time. Shortly after adjourn
ment of the house to-day the Ohio dele
CATION held meeting i'll the room of
the committee on banking and currency,
to take appropriate action OH the death of
Chief Justice Waite. There were also
present at the meeting Hon. S. 5. Cox,
of New York, and Judge Jones, of Della
ware, an old friend of the chief justice,
both of whom made addresses on the
sad event which had brought them to-
gether. A committee to prepare suita-
bic resolutions commemorative of the
chief justice was appointed.

WASHINGTON. March %. - Judge
Edgerton, president of the civil service
commission, an old friend of the chief
Justices family, has usually dined on
Sunday at Chief Justice Waite's since
the former became resident here. He
was there last Sunday, but the chief
justice was not able to be at the table.
Judge EdgerUOn, showever, saw him in
his room. He begged Judge Edgerton
to keep the fact of his illness a secret.
fearing it might be published, and his
wife see it, and it would destroy the
pleasure of her visit. He also remarked
that unless his doctors forbade it he
would go to court next day. Judge
Edgerton tried to dissuade him from the
venture, but the chief justice replied
that he was not seriously i'll, and that if
he should be absent from the court when
the telephone opinion was delivered, his
absence would at once be construed to
mean that he was ill. Mrs. Waite left
for California early in the month. The

It is possible that Mr.. Doran will be
he chairman of the delegation from
Minnesota to the st. Louis convention.
There appears to be a general desire
hat he should be so h0nOred. He stands

Cleveland, and enjoys his full conf
lence. At home he has been conSpicu-
nus for years as a leader of the party,

rhe delegation will be for Cleveland to
man, and, headed by Mr.. Doran, can
descend on the convention prepared to
,ack the White house occupant and his
ariff reform policy. Among those Sug-
rested for delegates are the following:
Chairman-MichaelD oran.
Delegates at Large-Eugene Wilson,
j. r. Welles, A. II. Ankeny. 3
First Congressional District-Andrew

Fifth District-Thomas G. Kurtz and

Mr.. Kelly's name is not mentioned
here for the reason of his stated declina-
ion and his attendance in the past upon
Ill of the important conventions.
The Republican convention to send
delegates to Chicago does not
promise to be as harmonious as
;he Democratic. The Grahamites, Lin
eolnites and Blaineites are very much
divided over the question as to whether
The delegation shall be instructed for
my candidate or not. The Blaineiacs
desire an uninstructed delegation, be-
ieving,as many of them do, that Blaine

The chairman of the delegation ought

not be strange to see W. r. Merriam's

extreme probability of row in the
choosing of them makes it doubtful as

active business and would have the
leisure to devote himself to the duties
of the position. Mr.. Doran, as Mr..
Kelly's political associate, and the
senior Democrat of the state, has peeu-
liar claims upon the position. He has
national reputation, and in the national
councils of the party has more than once
had voice. Either his selection or that
of Mr.. Meagher would meet with gen.
eral party approval. Henry r. Welles
or Eugene Wilson might, in the event
of Messrs. Doran and Meagher declin-
ing, be offered the position. While Mr..
Kelly's retirement would be largely
based upon his poor health, there is one
thing quite certain; that he does not in
tend to get out in the light of having
been forced to by opposing elements at
home. If, when he returns in April, he
finds that he is to be ignored, it is more
than probable that his Irish spirit and
blood will lead him into retaliation. He
has said that he did not desire to be a
delegate to the national convention. 1t
is fair to take him at his word unless he
finds another ''anti'' scheme sprung, in
which case Rome may be expected to
howl. The position of the national COM
mitteeman from Minnesota has ceased
to be perfInctory one, and it is hoped
by prominent leaders that Mr.. Kelly's
retirement from politics or retention as
an active worker may be brought about
without any Injurious friction.

BIOGRAPHICAL.
The Chief Justices Career From
BOyhOod to Manhood.

Morrison Remich Waite was the son
of Henry Matson Waite, late chief
justice of Connecticut, and was born at
Lyme, in that state, Nov. 80, 1916. He
graduated at Yale college at the age of
twenty-five, with the class of 1881. His
study of the law was commenced with
his father and concluded with Samuel
Nj. Young, then of Maumee City, o.. to
which place Mr.. Waite removed in 1888.
Upon admission to the bar he formed
partnership with his preceptOr that
cont nued with special success until
1850, when Mr.. Waite removed to To-
ledo, o., which city has been his resi-
dence ever since, and during the last
eighteen years of this time his
brother, Richard Waite,A has been
associated with him in the active prac-
tice of the law. In 1919 Mr.. Waite was
elected member of the Ohio legisla-
ture, where he served for one term with
ability and success. In 1862 Mr. Waite
was the boiling Republican candidate
for congress against James NJ. Ashley,
but was defeated by small plurality.
During the war he was foremost among
the citizens of Toledo in supporting the
government, and he was always in full
accord with the patriotic sentiment Of
IL.
selected by President Grant as one of
the counsel for the United States at the
tribunal rehabilitation at Geneva, which
body convened and performed its labOrs
during the following year. In 1873, by
the unanimous choice of both political
parties, he was elected as member of
the constitutional convention of Ohio,
of which body he was made presiding
officer. The nomination of Mr.. Waite
for the head of the national Judiciary
and as the successor of Chief Justice
Chase was made in January, 1874, and
was promptly confirmed by the unani-
nous vote of the senate of the United
States, he taking his seat on the bench
March 4, 1874. His devotion to his
chosen profession was such, that al
though frequently urged to accept pub
lie office, he has, with very rare eXccp-
tons, declined the honOrs which his
fellow citizens would have conferred
upon him; and though he was known
for many years as the leader of the Ohio
bar, his selection as one of the Geneva
council was his first appearance upon
the stage of national affairs. The nom
inatiOn to the chief Justiceship was en-
tirely unsought ON his part, and his ele-
walton to that exalted position is a
striking example of the kind Of reward
which "patient merit sometimes re-
ceives even in an age and country of
which self-seeking is supposed to be the
most prominent characteristic. At the
time he took the office he last held, Mr..
Waite was described as being of medium
height, broad physique, square Shout
ders, large and well-pOised head, hair
and whiskers slightly flecked with gray,
complexion heavy, eyes dark and pierre
ing, and mouth indicative of decision.
His general bearing was firm and self
possessed.

A SAD BLOW.
Members of the Court Deeply AZ
fected by His Death.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The sud
den death of the chief justice was sad
blow to the members of the court, by
all of whom he was regarded with
warmth of affection that has constantly
increased with years. The even tenn
per, genial and sunny disposition of the
dead chief justice had given him place
in the hearts of his associates only
equaled by the respect in which they
held his abilities and learning as a law
yer and presiding officer of the highest
tribunal in the country. The justices
were so deeply moved by the announce
ment of the death of their coIleage that
they asked to be excused from making
any statements with respect to the high
estimation in which they held him.
Justice Miller, to whom the other JUS
tees referred the reporter, was re-
luctant to speak at this time for publ
cation, but finally said: 'Chief Justice
Waite was dearly loved by all the court,
and they had the highest estimate of his
ability and fitness as a presiding officer.
They were all warmly devoted to him.
He died in the midst of his duty. One
of the ablest opinions he ever delivered
was that rendered in the telephone
cases Monday. Immediately thereafter
he went home and went to bed, never
to get out of it,

THE PRESIDENT GRIEVED.
He Writes Letter to Mrs. Waite
Expressing His Sympathy.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The presi-
dent was informed of the death of the
chief justice by Col. Lamont. The lat
ter was at his residence preparing to go
to the white house when messenger
arrived with note from G. c. Waite,
son of the chief justice, saying that his
father died this morning and requesting
him to notify the president. Col. La
mont proceeded at once to the white
house and found the president in the
library opening his mail. The president
was very much shocked at the intelli-
gence. He was aware that the chief
justice had been in bad health for some
time. but he was not prepared to hear of
his death. Quite an intimacy had
sprung up between the two officials
since the presidents term began, and
the latter has often been heard to ex-
press himself in terms of the highest
praise of the chief Justices character
and ability. The president at once
wrote a letter to Mrs. Waite expressing
his deep sympathy for her in her sud-
den bereavement. which he said was
not only a personal loss to himself, but
a great loss to the public service.

mittee was called for the purpose of re-
ceiving report from Mr.. Doran as to
the quarters he had secured for the
Minnesota delegation at st. Louis. No
invitations were issued for Democrats
to be present to discuss DR.. Ames or
any other candidate. The committee
considered the proper time for calling
ernor. and the propriety also of having
but one convention held in each county,
by which delegates could be elected not
only to the May II convention, but to
the state one. This would save the
farmers some time in a busy time of
the year. As matter of fact Dr. Ames
came under discussion, as did other
candidates. DR.. Ames is too lively a
subject not to be talked of. He had
friends and opponents present, although
the latter were the most numerous.
