naturally overcome with grief. After the firs,
emotion had subsidized then came the painful
question of how the news should be broken to
Mrs. Window. Desiring to avoid any scene
that might arise il the intelligence was suddenly
made known to the crowd that then thronged
the house, the Postmaster General left the L.
brary, and, passing through the throng OF
merry-m makers, attempted to reach the side Of
Miss Collegiate.
MISS COLGATE TOLD THE SAD NEWS.
He saw that she was standing near Mrs. Win
dom, and the happy, animated countenances Of
the immediate family Of the dead man gave to
Mr.. Wanamaker almost as keen anguish as the
first announcement of the death. He felt I'M
able to command himself sufficiently to APP
proach that happy group, unconscious Of the
great sorrow that had entered their lives. He
saw Secretary Proctor and requested him to
say to Miss Colgate that he desired to speak to
her. Miss Colgate answered the summons
with her to the dining room, then a. gent ,
as possible told her the sad story. Miss Co.
gate was almost FRUSTRATED, but finally she
rallied and then it was decided that she should
go to Mrs. Window and complain of not feeling
well and ask to be taken home.
MRS. WINDOW GOES HOME.
This was done and in q short time Mrs. Win
dom and her daughters babe merry good
night to their friends and left for home. The
President and Mr.. Wanamaker and Mr.. Proctor
waited a short time and then drove to the resi-
dence Of the dead Secretary. Upon their arrival
they found that personal friend of Secretary
Window had been there and had broken the
news to Mrs. Window. Whatever Of consola-
ton and sympathy could be offered to the be-
reaved widow in her great sorrow the President
and the members of the cabinet endeavored to
do and it was late hour before they left the
afflicted household
Az soon as Mrs. Window and party left the
house the news of the death Of Secretary VIM
dom was whispered about. The music ceased
and the guests quickly and quietly took their
departure,

lection which in earlier DAYS was given to our
foreign commerce and that now Disseminated
against our ship owners had to compete with
subsidized lines Of Europe.
III" he said. I'VE would regain our lost
prestige. reinstate our flag upon the ocean, and
open the markets of the world to American
producers. we mist make the contest with the
same weapons which have proved successful
In the hands Of our rivals. No nation can bet
ter an ord this kind of contest than ourselves.
Surely no object is Of greater importance than
the enlargement of our foreign markets, and
nothing will contribute so much to that end as
the command of direct and ample facilities for
reaching them. The folly and danger Of de-
pending upon our competitors for the means
OF reaching competitive markets cannot be ex-
pressed. Aid to our merchant marine is not
AID to class, but to the whole people-to the
farmer. the merchant and the manufacturer,
quite as much as to the ship builder and the
ship owner"
THE MATTER OF MONEY.
Speaking of money, he pointed out the dam
gers OF having either too much or too little
money for the needs of trade. and said that
what was needed WAS an elastic currency which
would adjust itself to the conditions of trade.
Had 1t not been for the peculiar conditions
which enabled the United States treasurer to
disbursc over S75,000,000 in about two and
half hal months last autumn, am firmly convinced
that the stringency. in August and September,
would have resulted in widespread financial
ruin. Like commercial conditions will fire.
quently occur, but it is not at all probable that
they can be encountered and their conse-
quences averted by like action of the govern
ment; nor is il desira BILE that such power should
be lodged with the Secretary of the Treasury.
The opportunity for securing such o cur
rency may be found IN our bonded debt which
should, in my Judgment, be in part exchanged
for intereonvertible bonds, bearing low rate
OF interest. and always interchangeable for
money at The will of the holdar
Speaking of silver and gold he said: ''Be-
hevlng that there is not enough OF either gold
or silver in the world to meet the necessities of
business. 1 am an earnest bi-netaliist and con-
cede to no one stronger desire than / feel for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver, as
soon conditions can be reached through in
ternational agreement, or otherwise, by which
such coinage shall be safe. But it is my firm
conviction that for this country to enter upon
that experiment now, and under existing con-
ditions, would be extremely disastrous, and
that it would result not in bi-metallism, but in
silver mOnO-me talism.h

AT THE POSTMASTER GENERALS.
How the News of the Secretary's Death Was
First Received.


How the News of the secretary's Death Was
First Received.
The residence Of the Postmaster General
never, perhaps, presented a more brilliant
scene than it did last evening. distinguished
company had assembled to meet the members
Of the cabinet who had been entertained at din
ner by Mr.. Wanamaker. All was gayety and
full of life. The President was there, Vice
President Morton mingled in the throng and
there was present nearly all of those prominent
in social and official life. The company num-
oered, perhaps, I50. Mrs. Window and her
two daughters and their guest, Miss Collegiate,
seemed to be in the happiest spirits ard
laughed and chatted with the MANY friends
they met. About 10 o'clock the President told
Mr.. Nanamaker that he would return home as
Mrs. Harrison was there alone, prevented from
going out by sickness. He accordingly with
drew leaving the ladies Of his household.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
In about twenty minutes after the Prcsident's
departure q message came to Mr.. Wanamaker
as he was in the midst of his guests and in
formed him that the President was in the L.
brary and wished to see him ut once Naturally
surprised that the President should have re-
turned, Mr.. Wanamaker hastened at once to
the library. As soon as his eyes rested upon
the grief-stricken countensnce of the Presi-
dent he knew that some calamity had happened
Closing the door he approached AIR. Harrison
and the latter, with tears streaming from his
eyes ard his voice broken with sobs, told him
the sad news. The Postmaster General who
was very intimate with Secretary Window, vas

MI. WINDOWS LAST WORDS.
His Speech on Commercial and Finance,
Matters Before the New York Board of Trad,

His Speech on Commercial and Financial
Matters Before the New York Board of Trade.
Mr.. WINDOWS speech, the closing words of
which were his last on earth, was a strong dis
cussion Of three great questions Of political
economy, domestic commerce, foreign COM
merce and money. Our domestic commerce.
he said, was far in advance of that of any other
country. In support Of this he stated these
facts:
The freight carried on railroads Of the United
States in 1880 exceeded by over So 900, 900 tons
the aggregate carried on all the railroads Of the
United Kingdom, Germany, France and Russia
in 1889
Commodities are interchanged among our
own people with greater facility and at cheaper
rates distances being considered) than in any
other country on earth.
The increase of national wealth and pros
perity, largely due to this system OF protection
to our home markets and domestic trade and
to the generous development of these instru-
mentalities OF commerce, has become the mar
vel Of the world. Take few comparisons
based upon the United States census of 1850
and upon figures furnished by Mr.. Mulhall the
English statistician.
In manufactures we exceeded Great Britain
in 1880 by 81 ,579. SO 191, France by S2,Il5.-
600. 900 and Germany by 81. 305, 600, 600.
In products Of agriculture we excelied Great
Britain by 81 AZ. 600 600 Franco by s625 coo.
COO and Germany by S925. coo, 0CO.
Our earnings or income for 1880 from com.
merce, agriculture, mining, manufactures, the
carrying trade and banking exceeded those of
Great Britain from the same sources by 81 $50
600, 900. France b. -, 395, 0O0, 600 and Germany
by s2.715.0Oc 900.
In 1870 our home markets consumed about
$40. 000, 0Go coo worth of our own products. an
amount equal TO the entire accumulated wealth
of Spain, three times the increase of wealth in
Great Britain for ten years and seven times the
increase of France for the same period. Our
home markets that year absorbed five times as
much of our manufactured products as Great
britain exported of hers to all the markets o.
the world.
FOREIGN COMMERCE..
He could not speak with the same satisfac-
ton Of our foreign commerce. He deplored its
decline. There was a time" he said, when
we stood first among the nations in shipbuiid-
ing and Great Britain alone excelled us in
ocean tonnage Once IS per cen. Of our i'm
| ports and 50 per cent OF our exports were car
ried IN American bottoms and our merchant
marine became the boast of every citizen and
| the envy OF the world. Now, so far as foreign
trade Is concerned, oar ship yards are compare
lively silent snd our flag has almost disap-
| peared from the high seas"
He found n reason for this decline in the
fact thai Congress had swept away all the pro
