STORY OF HIS LIFE.


Secretary WINDOWS Pub ic Career and
Services.
Secretary Window was born in Bel
mont County, Ohio, May 10, 1927. He
received an academic education, studied
law at Mount Vernon, Ohio, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1850. In 1862 he be-
came prosecuting attorney for Knox
County, and in 1855 he removed to Min
nesota and soon afterwards was chosen
to Congress from that State as Repub-
lican, serving from 1859 to 1869. In
that body he served two terms as chair
man of the Committee on Indian Affairs,
and also was at the head of the special
committee which visited the Western
tribes in 1865, and of that on the conduct
of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in
1867
In 1870 he was appointed to the United
States Senate to fill the unexpired term
of Daniel S. Norton, deceased, and was
subsequently chosen for the term that
ended in 1877.
He was reelected for the term that
expired in 1883, but resigned in 1881 to
enter the Cabinet of President Garfield
as Secretary of the Treasury. but re-
tired on the accession of President Ar
thur in the same year, and was elected
by the Minnesota Legislature to serve
the remainder of his term in the Sen
ate. In that body Mr.. Window acted as
chairman of the Committees on Appro-
priatious, Foreign Affairs and Transpor-
tation. At the expiration of his term
Mr.. Window went to New York and en-
gagged in business in Wall street. He
was in the midst of a prosperous career
when Benjamin Harrison was elected
President, and called him to his old po-
sieion in the Cabinet. He hesitated to
respond, but was finally prevailed upon
to leave New York and go to Washing

a IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Jan. 30.-Eight
Unfortunate miners are imprisoned in
the Chaplin mine, which is now blazing
furnace
The mine caught fire shortly after 9
o'clock last night, and just before the
time for changing shifts. The flames
were first discovered on the sixth level,
and spread with amazing rapidity.
Nearly all the shift succeeded in making
their escape, but eight of them had all
means of escape cut off and it is sup
posed by this time they have succumbed
to the stiff ing smoke.
Inside of an hour dense volumes of
smoke were pouring from four of the
shafts. The tops of the shafts were
covered as quickly as possible, in hopes
that the fire might be smothered out,
but it is regarded as extremely doubt
full if this can be done. 1t is not re-
garded as at all possible that any of the
imprisoned men will be rescued.
1t is not known how the fire started.

FRANCE ALARMED.


Tho Grand Duke of LrxemburS's Visit to
the Kaiser Not Friendly.
LONDON, Jan. S0.-The approachin G
visit of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg
to the German emperor is regarded
with no little alarm in France, as there
is nc doubt that the object of the visit
is to discuss the adoption of a military
convention between Prussia and Luxem-
burg, and thus bring within the con-
troll of the Germans q place that has
been, and can again be made, one of the
strongest fortresses of Europe.
Instead of Prussia taking the initia-
tive toward the military annexation of
Luxembourg, the Kaiser has withheld
from any proposition Of the kind, de-
termined apparently not to give France
any ground for complaint. But the
Grand Duke himself is understood to be
anxious for an arrangement that will
place Luxembourg in line with the Ger
man Empire, and provide for the pro-
lection of the Duchy in the event of
war.
Without some arrangement for de-
fence, Luxembourg, should war arise be-
tween France and Germany, would be
the prey of the first troops that would
succeed in reaching it, and those would
probably be French, for not much
faith is placed by the Luxemburgers in
the guarantee of their neutrality by the
great powers, now that they are divorced
from the crown of Holland.

LIBERALS AGITATBD
An Unexpected Move by Sir
John Pope Hennessey.
He AMENDS GLADsToNE's BILL.
The Entire Royal Family Included in the
Religious Disabilities Measure.

England Excited Over the Bold Proposal
DIR. Parker Calls 1t an Assault on the
foundations of tine British Constitution
Tho Nonconformists Aroused-An-
other Blow at the Irish Cause.
LONDON, Jan. 80.-Mr. Gladstone in
troduced his bill to remove the remain
ing political disabilities of Roman
Catholics, by enabling members of that
faith to hold the offices of Viceroy of
Ireland and Lord Chancellor.
Sir John Pope Hennessey, in accord
ance with his announced intention, sub
mitted an amendment proposing that
the sovereign of Great Britain and Ire
land be permitted to be a Roman
Catholic should the sovereign see fit to
adopt that faith. The amendment was
received with cries of protest from all
quarters, irrespective of party.
The announcement of Sir Johns in
tention had already stirred to it's very
depths the conscience of Protestant
England, and the Rev. Dr. Parker in the
Temple services during the day con-
demned in the strongest language the
assault, as he characterized it, on the
foundations of the British Constitution.
The Nonconformists everywhere are
greatly excited, indeed much more
than the Established Church people,
who arc not disposed do treat the mat
ter as of serious Importance.
Serious Blow at the Irish Cause.
The Liberals are very much hurt that
Hennessy should have taken such a step
without their consent, which, of course,
would never have been given, and they
connect his action with the circumstance
that, since the opening of Parliament,
he has been hobnobbing q good deal
socially with his old friends, the Tories.
Depending as the English Liberals dc
upon Nonconformist support, it is a
question with some of them whether the
action of Mr.. Hennessy is not a more
serious blow at the Irish cause in Eng
land than was the Parnell divorce ex.
posture.
Mr.. Gladstone hastened to oppose the
Hennessy amendment, and in reply to an
inquiry, he says that his bill has no re
lation, either in it's words or its policy
to any conditions on which the royal
family of England holds the crown Of
Great Britain. The Tories and their al
lies, the Dissenting Liberals, are unwill
ing, however, to look at the matter in
that light, and they are holding forth
everywhere that Gladstone has permit
ted himself to be made a tool of by those
who desire to assail the Act of Settle
ment, and undo the work of the revo
luton Of 1889.
