reaved family. Many kilograms con-
veying words of sympathy and sorrow
have been received by Mrs. Window.
Among them are the following:
Ex-President Hayes-You are assured of
the deepest sympathy of myself and family.

NEW YORK's TRIBUTE.
1t Is Ell Oquently Voiced by Ex-Sec
Rotary RaVard

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The board of
to-day, and took suitable action on the
death of Secretary Window. Ex-Secre-
tary Of State Bayard paid glowing
tribute to the memory of the deceased.
He said:
IL was partaker of your hospitality
last night. To-day l am the leader in
your grief and sorrow. When l was
honored by your body with all invitation
to come to New York, l was greatly
gratitied when knew Secretary VIM
dom would be my companion, as | had
kOWn him so we'll and SO long. / may
be permitted to impress fact upon all,
that though men may be opposed to
each other politically belonging to the
two different great parties, they are yet
friends. They are trying to reach the
same ends, but by different means.
l was associated with William Window
for thirteen years, and there grew up
between us a sincere confidence. We
both had, as public men, the same end
in view. No breath of suspicion was
ever cast upon him and his methods. In
1881 an occurrence of great Importance
to the country arose. The public credit
and the agencies that sustained it were
threatened. A strong feeling against
the banking system had been expressed,
congress had adjourned and those in
charge of banking institutions were un-
easy. Then this remarkable proposition
was made by the creditors of the gov
eminent, to reduce the rate of interest
GU the debt due them, and accept differ
ent terms for its liquidation. This pa
triot statesman and friend did me the
honor to come to me as NAH, l of a
different political party, to discuss the
mOmentouS question. We discussed it,
and you all know how the national credit
was established, howit was done without
cost to the government, and no finer
illustration of financiering can be found
than that of William Window. 1t was
The very highest pinnacle for man to
reach. Such was one of his services
not measurable by money. He was
faithful servant to his country. All
heroes are rot clad in uniform, neither
do they all fall in battle. They die i'll
obscure and quiet places, William Win
dom's call came last night. His life had
been imperiled serving you and our
land. He is worthy of your gratitude
Mr.. Bayard referred to MIR. Windom's
connection with the Eads ship canal,
and closed his remarks by saying;
'We all join in grief for his loss and
honor and respect for his memory"

FORGOT HIS PAPERS.
A Newly Elected County Of
ficer Ousted by His Unsuc-
cessful Opponent.
He Had Failed to Become
NaturaliZed Prior to the
Election,
Taking Out His Papers I'M
mediately After His Hard
Won Triumph.
For This Negligence the Su-
preme Court Quietly Lays
Him Out.

The supreme court handed down four
decisions yesterday. the most important
of which referred to the contested cleo
ton for county attorney in Stearns
county. Oscar Taylor, the last elected
county at orney, contested the election
of John D. Sullivan on the ground that
he was not an American citizen, and
PRAYED the court to issue writ of quo
warranto declaring that the election of
Sullivan was null and void. The relator
was elected to the Office at the election
in 1888, was qualified and entered upon
the discharge of its duties. He is still
the incumbent of the Office unless he
has been superseded by the re-
spOndent, or unless a vacancy mas
occurred by force of the statute.
1t appears that at the time of the cleo
ton the respondent was not a citizen OF
the United States, and had not declared
his intention to become citizen con-
formally to the laws of the United
States upon the subject of naturallZa-
ton. He relies. however. upon the TACT
that after the election, and before the
commencement of the term of office for
which he was elected, he duly declared
his intention to become q cltlZen. lie
Spondent rests his case upon the propo-
Sition that the restriction in article z,
section Z of the constitution, refers
merely to the holding of Office, and not
to elections, and hence that he was
legally entitled to the Office because his
disqualification was removed before the
commencement of the term, although
subsequent to the election. This queS-
ton has not been heretofore decided I'D
this state. The syllabus of the case
reads:
The incumbent of an Office the term Of
which is for specified period, land until
his successor is elected and qualified, is
entitled to retain the office after the lapse or
the specified period, in the event of the cleo
ton of another person to succeed him who
islneligible. Hence he has such an interest
in such election that he may invoke de-
cision as to its Legality. The constitution,
making persons of foreign birth, who nave
not declared their intention to become cltl-
zens of the United States ineligible to any
elective office, disqualifes such persons from
being legally elected. They are not entitled
to hold office, even though after being elected
they declare their Intention to become citl-
zens 1t is therefore ordered that the re-
spondent's motion TO dismiss the order to
show cause be denied, and that the applica-
ton of the relator for writ of quo warranto
be granted.

tragedy occurred last fall, when the
business interests of the country were
more OF less at the mercy of the treas
ury department and when the treasury
was disgorging Its accumulated surplus
through prepayment of interest and re-
demption Of bonds, the result might
have been very different. The only
appreciate financial effect of the news
was fall in the price of silver bullion.
The London price declined from AZ
pence per ounce yesterday to 46T
pence per ounce this morning. The:
New York price declined accord
ingly. Silver bullion certificates were
extensively dealt in on the New York
stock exchange. The first quotation
showed decline of 2as cents per ounce.
Secretary Window was not an advocate
of free coinage under present condi-
tions. His death is looked upon by the
silver men as rendering the passage of
any silver bill this session more unlikely
even than before.
The majority of fnanciers we're of the
opinion that the careful policy ihaugu-
rated by Mr.. Window would be con-
tinued. and that President Harrison,
who was in accord with the late secre-
tary's views. would choose man to
take the vacant place in the cabinet that
WOalQ carry Out The policy OF his
predecessor. In regard to Mr..
Windows successor in the cabi-
net, the general opinion among
bankers and brokers and others
was that he would undoubtedly be a
man who would carry out in the treas
ury the policy of the dead secretary,
which, it was believed, was in all re-
spects in accord with the ideas of the
president. There is much discussion
already as to who the probable sue
cessor of Secretary Window will be, but
the only names heard mentioned in
connection with it are those of Senator
Allison, of Iowa, and ex-senator Spoon
er, of Wisconsin. Both of these men
were prominently spoken of as candi-
dates for the place when President
Harrison was making up his cabinet,
and it is believed that the position will
go to some Northwestern state.

A PARTIAL VICTORY.
Judge Dundy Denies a Motion to
Dissolve an Injunction.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 30-ln the United
States district court this afternoon Judge
Dundy handed down an opinion in the
case of Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul
road against The Union Pacific for an
Injunction to restrain the Union Pacific
from interfering with the passage of
Milwaukee trains over the bridge at
Omaha. Judge Dundv denied the mo-
ton for an injunction and dissolved the
restraining order. This is only partial
victory for the Union Pacific. The
judge had asked parties to the suit to
present the case on its merits on proofs
so it could be finally disposed of this
term, This the parties failed to do.
The judge in conclusion summed
up his decision by declaring that
if the other railroads are denied
the right and refuse the privilege of
using the bridge for the purpose OF
crossing the river with their trains, or
if the rate of compensation for such use
cannot he agreed upon, or if proper
time tables cannot be arranged by the
proper authorities without resorts to the
courts, then court of equity will point
out the remedy and compel the per-
Torrance Of duty which ought to be
voluntarily performed. The decision
also covers the case of the Rock Island
road against the Union Pacific.

the real facts be ascertained, says the
