Death of Ex-Attorney- General Brewster
at His Philadelphia Home.

PHILADELPHIA, April 4th.-Ex-Attorney Gen
eral Brewster died this morning He had been
suffering during the entire winter with diseases
of the Kidneys but his condition did not be-
come serious until a month ago, since which
time he has been confined to his house Early
this morning he sunk into deep slumber and
passed quietly away.
benjamin Harris Brewster was born in Salem
county, New Jersey, october Is, 1876. He was
graduated from Princeton College in 1884, and
admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1898 He
soon became prominent in his profession and
exercised a broad influence in the State. In
1876 President James K Polk appointed him
Commissioner to examine into the claims of the
Cherokee tribe OF Indians against the Govern
ment. His report was accepted as a complete
and Just exposition, and upon that basis the
Government adjusted the CLAIMS. Returning 10
his practice, he gained new distinction as a
jurist and in 1867 was made Attorney General
of the State of Pennsylvania, serving with high
credit until 1863, when he again returned TO
private practice. His chief strength was as a
prosecutor. and he became especially famous
Tor his ability in that role. In December, 1881,
President Arthur attached him to his Cabinet as
Attorney General of the United States He
served until the close Of President Arthurs
term, and was especially conspicuous in the
celebrated star route cases. When he was a
young man he manifested the courage for which
he was noted by risking his life to save his sis
ter from death by fire, and was himself terribly
burned and distigured for life.

WASHINGTON, April 4th.-Senator Stewart in
conversation with California Associated Press

quired to fill the gap will not be large at first,
but if the Government carries out the laws and
expends the surplus i'll buying bonds it will in

will be retired as fast as the bonds are paid and
silver certificates will occupy the place of the
national bank currency.

CHICAGO. April 4th.-The managers of the
Rock Island road boldly maintained in Court

The Rock Island entered motion that the
whole matter be referred to the Master in Chan

afhdavlts would not be obtainable of some of
the witnesses. The obecs of the reference TO
the Master is to put the witnesses upon the rack
of examination and cross s-examiuation
AT the conclusion of the arguments Judge

made by the Rock Island were true it did not
relieve that road from its duty as common

A House Minority Prevents Action on the
Direct Tax Bill-LiveIy Scenes.


WASHINGTON, April 4th.-Soon after the read
ing of the journal in the House to-day the con-
sideratiOn of the direct tax bill, in which Cali
fornia has an interest of over S250, 900, was re-
sumed. The small opposition, numbering less
than forty Representatives on the Democratic
side refused to agree to any proposition to limit
the debate or TO fix time when a vote should
be taken. There was a quorum present during
the greater part of the afternoon but by dila-
tory motions the minority rendered it impossi-
BILE to secure the adoption of Representative
Baylors motion that the general debate be linn
tied to one hour, and that the previous question
on the passage of the bill be ordered.

the bill, announced his willingness to support

proposed by him to refund the cotton tax

Chicago Convention has selected the following
delegates atlarge: Ex-Governor Redfield Proc
tor, General J. g. Mccullough, Colonel j. j.
EStey and Hon. Frank Plumley. General Nc
Cullough in a speech said the issues were tenn
perance. civil service reform, the surplus and a

the tariff.
Among the candidates mentioned, Blalne's
name met with the greatest favor and those of
Depew and Sheridan next.
The resolutions declare for the protection of
American markets for American citizens, and
favors such taxation as will yield only the
revenues that the general welfare requires, and
such tariff as Will obviate a large surplus in the
Treasury and protect producers and artisans
from serious competition with foreign capital
They strongly condemn President Cleveland's S
disregard of civil service reform, and insist
upon rectifcatiOn of the tlagrant abuse of that
system. They, also oppose the immigration of a
mass of people of nationalities who do not

Pond was one of a number of innocent purchas-
