HISTORIAN BANCROFT DEAD.
A Great and Good American Gons-A
Sketch OF His Life.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ls.-The commu.
nifty was greatly shocked last evening
by the news that George Bancroft, tie
venerable historian, was dead. 1t had
been realized that Mr.. Bancroft
could hardly survive much longer the
increasing infrmities incident to his ex-
trems old age, but he had been in
cheerful spirits and apparently better
health this year since his return from
Newport than for several seasons past,
30 that his death was sudden and unex-
pected to all save q few intimate friends
who knew OF the attack Of illness which
carried him of. Death occurred at $40
o'clock. The end was quiet and peace
ful, and came after period Of uncon-
sciousness lasting "a hours.

UNDER the Mckinley bill Austria.
Ian wool pays ten to twelve cents a
pound for the privilege of being sold
in the American markets. This de.
Quoted from the selling price leaves
the Australian but eleven to thirteen
cents per pound for his wool.
Australia has 12O.0O0.0 900 sheep
while the United States owns less
than 50.000.000. Take the duty off of
wool as the Democrats insist on do
ing, and one Of two things will hap
pen Australia wool must 60 up or
American wool must come down to
a level with 1t.
The American farmer cannot pro-
duce wool for thirteen cents per
pound and it would bankrupt the
country to send so much money
abroad to pay for foreign wool.
The Mckinley idea Is to keep the
American markets for the Ameri.
cans and to keep the money at home
among our own people.
