: Of his death was Immediately Sc,
to the Supreme Court, when tt
: proper officer at once authorize
the draping in black Of the SCI
lately occupied by the Associa1
Justice. When the court assemble,
the Chief Justice Immediately az

: tice Matthews had been an invali
: for many years, still his death cam
as a great shock to his friend
!, Justice Field, who was on very il
, innate terms with the late Justic,
expressed the sentiments of himse
and associates upon his death a
follows:
The members Of the Supreme Coul
deeply dep:ore the death of Justice Mat
thews. They had become attached t.
him in an unusual degree. They recog
nized his great legal ability, but eve
more they appreciated the warmth of hi
atfectiOnate nature. He was an industrl
Gus Judge, and his decisions exhibited
wide research and thorough culture H
was an able lawyer, wise Judge and ,
Christian gentleman.
The engagement of Justice Mat
thews' daughter and Justice Gray
was announced a short time ago
and the wedding was to have beer
soon, but the Wedding-bells are
hushed for time.
Succession to the vacancy is al.
ready discussed, there being two
men mentioned in this connection
One is Justice Greshem, now the
judge of the circuit comprising the
states of Wisconsin, Illinois and
Iowa. If he should receive the APP
pointment, he would in turn be
succeeded by Judge Woods, leaving
vacancy to be filled in the district
of Indiana. The other programme
would transfer Attorney General
Miller to the supreme bench.
THE MINISTER TO ENGLAND.
It is said that President Harrison
will make no nomination to the
court of st. James until the arrival
of Mr.. Pauncefote, the recently
appointed minister to this country.
The delay of Lord Salisbury in
sending a successor to Lord Sack
vile was evidently intended as a
snub to the Cleveland administra-
ton, but in reality it is considered
as an affront to the entire American
people, and this is the construction
which it is understood President
Harrison puts upon it. So long as
the English mission to this country
is untitled, the President thinks that
national self-respect requires that
this country remain unrepresented
at the English court. Thus far
President Harrison has received no
official notice of Mr.. Pauncefote's
appointment, nor can he until that
gentleman arrives in Washington
and presents his credentials.
COL. FRED GRANT,
Who was disappointed at not being
sent as Minister to China, has been
restored to complacency by being
named as the Austrian Minister.
President Harrison has explained
that for the four important coun-
tries of England, Germany, France
and China he should select men of
special fitness for the position of
whose diplomatic ability
could be relied upon in any emer-
gency. The position of Minister to
Austria is an important one, but
are not as likely to
arise with that country as some of
,he others.
AN ELoPEMENr.
Washington society has had a
genuine sensation in the elopement
IF Miss Pauline Fuller, fifth daugh-
;er of Chief Justice Fuller, with J. |
N. Aubrey, Jr., a Chicago youth.
The elopement did not take place
rom the young lady's home, but
rom Chicago, where she had been
friends since about January
[st. Miss Pauline was not very well |
snown in Washington as she never
liked that city and was away from
t as much as her parents would
permit. She is only II years old
md was not "out" in society. The
irst intimation the family had of
he affair was seeing notice of it
n a newspaper. Her parents were
naturally very much chagrined, but
ook it coolly after all. The Chief
Justice occupied his seat on the
bench as usual the day they learned
If the matter, and Mrs. Fuller was
'ut shopping in the forenoon. The
voung bride is described as very
'eautlful and a girl of rcsolute firm
less of character. They were mar
Ell at the Kirby House in Milwau-
zee, where the next day young
Aubrey received many congratula-
ions from friends in that city, where
e formerly resided; he also re-
eived many kilograms from Chica-

nained quietly in the hotel and
