been regarded with anxiety, has nevertheless
Knocked the country and caused universal grief
He had established for himself a strong hold in
the hearts of his fellow countrymen who. soOn

dierly devotion and heroic temper. His intrepid
courage, his steahfast patriotism and the gener
osity of his nature inspired with peculiar warmth
the admiration of all the people. Above hi,
grave affection for the man and bride in hi,
achievements will struggle for mastery, and toe
much honor can not be accorded to one who wa
so richly endowed with the qualities which maxi

the Fisheries Treaty.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug THE feature
of the day in the senate yesterday, other
than the action taken relating to Gen Sheri-
dams death, was Nance's speech on the fish
cries question. He accounted for the re
markable heat exhibited by the Republicans
against the treaty by telling a story of a
fellow in North Carolina who was once
caught with an extra Jack in his sleeve
when playing game of old sledge,' and
who, In reply To the fierce denunciation
of his adversary, said: Bill you know we
were six and-six, and it WAS your deal, and
| was Obliged TO do something So SAID he,
the presidential election is coming on, and the
Republican party knows that the game stood
about six and siN,n and that the deal was
ours, and that they were Obliged to do some
thing" Continuing, he said
