man Adopted in the House.

THAT the house of representatives has
heard with profound sorrow of the death at
his home in New York City, on the 18th

'eThat We mourn him as the greatest SOL
dier remaining to the republic, and the last
of that illustrious trio OF generals who COM
manded the armies of the United States
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan-Who shed
imperishable glory upon American arms,
and were the idolized leaders of the Union
army.
That we hereby record the highest ap-
probation in which the American people
hold the character and services of Gen.
Sherman as one OF the greatest soldiers of
his generation, as one Ol the grandest patri-
OTIS that ever country has produced and as
a noble man, IN the brOadest and fullest
meaning OF the world. We mingle our
grief with that OF the nation, mourning the
departure OF her great son, and of the sur
vivors of the battle-scarred veterans whom
he led to victory and peace, and we espe-
cially tender our sympathy and coincidence
to those who are bound to him by the ties
OF blood and strong personal affection.
That the speaker appoint a committee
OF nine members of the house to attend the
funeral of the late general as representa-
tives of this body.
That copy of these resolutions be for
warded by the clerk of the house to the

BALFOUR UPHELD.
Mr.. Morley's Motion Censuring the Irish
Executive Defeated.

LONDON, Feb. 17.--In the house of COM
mons to-day Mr.. Morley arose, and, in ac-
cordance with the notice previously given
by him, moved that the house adopt a vote
censuring the irish executive for its action
i'll the TDperary prosecutions.
Mr.. Morley's motion declared that such
action on the part of the Irish executive
was calculated to bring the law into con-
tempt, and was violation of the rights OF
citizens.
Mr.. Morley said that the motion was
Opportune, inasmuCh as two prominent
Irish commoners had just passed within
sight of the house on their way to prison.
The imprisonment of these men was the
climax ofthe Tipperary prosecutions.
Alter seeing the working i'll Tipperary of
the terrible machine of coercion, his
(Morleys) eyes had been opened to the
pitch of decentralization to which
the agents ot the chief secretary
had been brought by the fact that
the chief secretary was ever ready to de-
lend their every act of right or wrong, and
to credit every statement of the police, re-
fusing inquiry as to their alleged misdeeds,
no matter how strong the evidence was
against them.
Mr.. Parnell sat with folded arms listen
ing to Mr.. Morley evidently with close at
tentiOn. He did not join in the Irish
cheers. He lett as soon as Mr.. Gladstone
rose to speak. Mr.. Gladstone spoke or
half an hour. He manifested no
special enthusiasm till toward the close OF
his speech then his voice in ringing tones of
triumph declared that the doom OF coercion
and the government was assured.
Alter a reply by Mr.. BalIour upholding
his course in Ireland. Mr.. Morley's motion
was rejected-320 to 245.

Big Fire, Attended by Loss of Life,
in Canadian Town.
New WESTMINSTER, B. c., Feb. 17.-This
city was yesterday visited by a confagra-
ton which destroyed in the neighborhood
of $500, 600 worth of property and caused
the death of John McCannon, a member of
the volunteer fire brigade.
The fire started in the premises occupied
by F. Stirsky, matchmaker and jeweler, and
the whole block of buildings was ablaze
before the fire department had succeeded
in getting to work. For two hours the
firemen fought the flames, and were just
getting them under control when an ex-
plosion in the rear of one store occurred.
1t broke almost every pane of glass within
a radius of half mile, and burst all the
hose pumping on the fire. The Masonic
Temple, next adjacent, had, up
to this moment been considered
absolutely safe but the breakage of
windows caused draft which sucked the
flames inward and in minute the whole
interior of the building was atire. 1t was a
iour-story brick building, valued at $780,
600. 1t was occupied by stores, offices,
lodge rooms and the provincial registry of
fices. Nothing was saved out of this build.
ing but the papers from the registers of
flee.
While fighting the flames at one OF the
windows the western wall Of the building
fell in and Fireman McCannon was buried
under two tons of brick He was taken out
and brought to st. Mary's hospital, where
he died last night Another man is re-
ported to be buried underneath the RUNS.

ELECTED SENATOR.
Rev. James Il. Kyle viii Succeed
Moody as Senator From South
Dakota.
His Election the Result of a COmbina-
tiOn Of Independents and
Democrats.

PIERRE, s. D., Special Telegram, Feb. II.
BY a combination of the Independents
and Democrats James Henderson Kyle, on
the tortieth ballot was elected United
States senator to-day to succeed Moody.
1t was not fully determined that the
Democrats would go to Kyle to-day until
this morning. Fears that the Republicans
would be able to draw enough Independ-
ents to elect their candidate if the election
was delayed longer, decided their action
about noon. AT II the two houses met in
joint session, there being present ouly 139
that Kyle was to be elected. The Repub-
hcans set their faces with determination to
go down with colors flying.
As the roll was called on the ballot for
senator and it was seen that the Independ-
ents and Democrats were voting solidly for
Kyle, everybody knew that the end had at
last come. Even Bowel and Converse
went with the Independents and every
Democrat. The following Republicans
changed their votes from Sterling to Trip:
Belknap, Douglass, Donahue, Hall, Nc
Cormack Taylor, Teets and Wilson. No
further changes were made, and the clerk
announced the result as follows: Kyle, IS;
Sterling IS; Trip, s; Campbell, 1.
The speaker announced that James H.
Kyle, having received a majority of all
votes cast, was declared elected United
States senator for the term beginning
March next.
Kyle occupied seat in the joint assem-
bly, as state senator unmoved throughout
the proceedings. Being loudly called tor,
in the same collected manner he has borre
through it all, he took the rostrum and
MADE SHORT SPEECH
which was we'll received. He said that on
account of the exercises just held-mem-
orial exercises just held on the death of
Gen. Sherman-he would not make the
speech he otherwise would. He stated,
however, that he stood squarely upon the
Independent platform and believed heartily
in all its demands. Further than this he
was elected senator for the whole state of
South Dakota regardless of party, and
would endeavor to fulfil the duties of such
office. After a certificate of election had
been signed in the presence of the joint
assembly, it adjourned.

Last Tributes for the Dead.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. ia meeting of the citi-
zens' committee having in charge the
preparation for the funeral of Gen. w. T.
Sherman met to-day.
The committee reported that Gov. Francis
had expressed his willinness to order all
the militia in the state to st. Louis to par
ticipate in the obsequies but that there was
q question as to his authority so to do, and
that it was deemed best not to take this step
at present. 1t was moved that an invita-
ton be extended to all the militia compan-
les to join the funeral procession.
On account of the lack of information re-
garding the desires of the family it was inn
possible to arrange all the details at the
meeting to-day. Another meeting OF the
committee will be held tomorrow, and it
Is expected final arrangements for the
funeral will then be made.
The following official order in regard to
Gen. Sherman's funeral has just been re-
ceived:

West Seventy first street. a !ew minutes be-
fore 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Within few seconds the news had been
flashed over the wires to every part of the
country. The old hero's stubborn fight
with death was at an end and he had been
conquered at last.
Death came slowly, but easily and with
out pain, to the veteran of so many bitter
struggles. He passed away exactly at 1:5O
o'clock.
All the members Of his immediate family
were gathered at his bedside at the time,
except his eldest son, Rev. Thomas e. Sher-
man, the Jesuit priest, who is now on his
way to this country from abroad OH the
steamer Majestic.
Grouped about him in his last moments
were Senator John Sherman, the generals
brother; his younger son. P. I. Sherman,
his daughters, Mrs. Fitch, and Mrs.
Thackara, and the two unmarried ones,
Miss Rcchael and Miss Lizzie Sherman,
who live with him. There were also pres
ent his niece, Mr<. Colgate Hoyt, and her
son; Lieutenants Fitch and Thackara, the
generals sons-in-law; J. NJ. Barrett his
private secretary; Gen. Thomas Ewing, his
brother-in-law, and Doctors Alexander and
Green, who have attended him constantly
DURING HIS LAST ILLNESS.
They all had been watching by his dying
bedside since the early hours of the morn
ing, for when they were first summoned
from their beds at $50 this morning it was
believed that he might die at any moment.
The dying general had been unconcious
for several hours, and his futtering pulse
feeble that several If
was almost impossible to tell whether he
was living or not. His long struggle had
completely exhausted him, and it was only
his remarkable vitality and will power that
enabled him to cling to life so long after
all hope had been given up. From time to
time during the morning some of the
family would leave the room, but only to
be summoned back hastily when it was
thought that the end was approaching.
At the final moment there was no appre-
ciable change in the appearance of the
sufferer. He had been lying as one dead
for several hours. DR.. Alexander, who had
his hand on the generals breast, for he
could not detect the heart beats in his
pulse, was watching his ace intently. He
looked up quickly just ten minutes to 2
and told the grief-stricken family that
THE GENERAL HAD PASSED AWAY.
Gen. Ewing Immediately lett the room
and went down to the door to announce the
fact to the representatives of the he wspa-
pers, who had been watching the house
anxiously Tor four days. He was visihIv
affected by his grief at the death of his old
friend, and could say no more than to make
the announcement that the general had

HIS LAST ILLNESS.
A History of the Case Given by One of
the Physicians


the Physicians.
New YORK, Feb 14-Dr. C. T. Alexander
gave the history of Gen. Sherman's illness
this evening. The doctor had been almost
incessantly at the generals bedside from
the time his illness began, and he had not
had more than two hours sleep any day
since Sunday. He said:
The general, as is known. caught cold Wednes-
day q week ago. The next day he attended q
wedding against the urgent advice of the mem-
bers of his family. On Friday l was called in
ard found the general suffering from a cold and
a sore throat. On Saturday he felt so much
better that he wanted to keep an appointment
he had made for that day. On my advice, how
ever, he dessted and spent the day playing
cards, believe, with his family.
Erysipelas set in Sunday. He was f1ighty
on that day, and OH Monday became delirious.
The eryspelas spread over his face, and the
sympathetic glands i'll his neck became swollen.
Tuesday he grew worse, and applied treatment
Tor the erysipelas. Wednesday came, and there
was 10 change Tor the better, but Gen. Sherman
slightly rallied on Thursday morning. His rally
was not such to insure even faint hope OF the
generals recovery, and / so informed Surgeon
General Moore at Washington.
Friday was the turning point for the patient.
The erysipelas had almost completely disap-
peared, but the attack had left the general very
much weaker. His old complaint, brochial
trouble and asthma, think, killed Gen. Sher-
man. III his weakened condition he was unable
to throw off the mucus which gathered. The
mucus accumulated, and the general was slowly
strangled to death. / think he suffered greatly.
There was always the quick respiration, the
gasp for breath, but he bore everything without
murmur and no one could have been more
heroic. Since Tuesday we had practically
abandoned all hope OF Gen. Shermans recovery.

the occasion of Gen. Sherman's seventieth
birthday, the members of Ransom Post, G.
A. R., of which Gen. Sherman was the first
commander, sent the general many con-
gratulatory letters and kilograms. The old
warrior, in replying to these, among other
things said:
have again and again been urged to allow my
name TO be transferred to the roster OF some one
of the many reputable posts OF the G. A. r.
here, but my invariable answer has been no;
that Ransom post has stood by me since its be-
ginning, and will stand by it to my end, and
then that, in its organized capacity, it will de.
post my poor body in Calvary cemetery, along

be able to fulfil this sacred duty imposed by
