Biographical.

Mir. Waite was born at Lyme, Con-. November 20. lsl6 Justice Miller oi the Supreme bench was born in April of the same year. Henry Watson Waite, his father, was Judge of the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors. The hte Chief Justice was sent 10 Yale, where he graduated in 1887. He studied law under his father for year and then re- moved 10 Ono, where he placed himself under Samuel NJ. Young, of Maumee City. In 1889 he was admitted to the bar and practiced in Maumee City and Toledo until 1874 with small interrup- tions His brother, Richard Waite, was associated with him for the last eighteen years of the time. He was elected 10 the Ohio Legislature In lS49. and served one term, but having no taste for poll. ties did not again attempt 10 win elec- tion. He was sent tO Geneva as one oi the counsel for the United States befoTr the arbitration tribunal in 1871. and or his return was by the unanimous choice of both political parties elected 10 be a member of the Constitutional Conyen- ton of Ohio. That body made hin it's presiding officer. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase was Mir. waite's predecessor on the Supreme bench, and died in Washington May :, 1871. President Grant did not make any nomination to fill the vacancy until 1873, and it was not until March ]. 1874, that Mir. Waite took the oath of the office. His life after that date was not marked by any event of importance. In 1875 he wrote letter declining to allow his name to be used in connection with the Presidency. which was regarded as an able effort, though his chances for securing the nomination were at all times small. Mir. waite's wife and one daughter survive him.

Salaries Must be Cut.

Estimates made at the treasury de- partment indicate that the present rate of expense of collecting the revenue from customs cannot be maintained up to the close Of the present. fiscal year under the available balance of the gen eral appropriation, without creating s deficiency of S400,00o. Secretary Fair child has therefore, determined upon a reduction of expenses to that amount during the remainder of the fiscal year. being sl00,000 a month. The reduction has been apportioned among the dif- ferent customs collection districts. and the collectors have been instructed to readjust their salary accounts and other expenses, so as 10 bring the total ex- penditures within the limit fixed upon. As the force cannot be reduced in number, without seriously crippling the service, the saving can only be ef- fected by general reduction oi salaries. Congress will be asked TO provide for the service upon the present for the balance of the fiscal year and if that is done, the reduction will be only temporary

 THE FATAL ILLNESS.
 The following are the full particulars Of Justice Waite's last and fatal Illness The Chief Justice dined out on Saturday evening, and on his return home he be- came so i'll that his family physician, Dr. Winslow was sent for He was confined to his bed on Sunday, and on Monday he insisted upon going to the Supreme Court to be present when the decision in the telephone suits was rendered The weather was mild and the doctor yielded to his request, every precaution being taken to prevent any i'll effects from the journey. The telephone decision had been written by the Chief Justice, but he was too i'll to read it from the bench and that duty was therefore performed by Justice Blatchford. Special care was taken that no evidence of the Chief Justices illness should appear, and none of the throng that heard the decision read suspected the real reason why it wes announced by Justice BlatchforTi. As soon as possible offer the reading, Justice Waite left the bench and was hurriedly driven home It is admitted that the trip to the Capito. was far from prudent in Justice Wate'g condition. but it is asserted that no serious consequence can be ascribed to it. The Chief Justice was determined to go and

Representative Wade's bill spp

Representative Wade's bill sppro- priat ng Sl00. 600 for the erection of s public building at Springfield, Mo, passed the senate Wednesday and now needs only the signature Of the pres ident to become a law. Mir. Cleveland refused to sign the springfield bill which was passed by the last congress on the ground, it is understood, that there being no United states court held there at that time he did not see the necessity fer erecting a building in that city. Springfield has a court now, however, and Col. Wade in his report to the house submitted figures to show that the governments business is very large there, and he hopes the same objection cannot be raised against his bill this wear.
