came a member of the Leavenworth h
constitutional convention of 1859. He
was admitted to the bar in 1861, went to
the legislature in '62, served in the
Eleventh Kansas infantry through all
the grades from second lieutenant to
colonel. After the war he served again
in the Kansas legislature, and in 1876
was chosen United States senator to
succeed James M. Harvey.
Plumb was a wealthy man, and in
addition to his senatorial duties was
actively concerned in railroad and indus
trial enterprises, and widely known in
financial circles as an indefatigable pro-
moter.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
At 10 O'Clock tomorrow the body OF
the late senator will be removed to the
marble chamber in the senate wing of
the capitol. At l :35 O'Clock the body
will be removed to the senate chamber,
where fifteen minutes later the funeral
services will be held. At 2:30 the body
will be taken to the Pennsylvania rail-
way station, escorted by committee of
the two houses and members on foot.
1t will be taken to Emporia, Kan, where
the interment will be made.
A SHOCK TO THE KANsANs.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 20.-The news of
the death of Senator Plumb was shock
to his friends in Kansas. No one knew
he had been ailing, and the vigorous
campaign he made last fall in the inter-
ests of his party seemed convincing
proof that his robust constitution was in
the best condition. He stumped the
state from one end to the other, being
obliged to undergo all the fatigue of q
country campaign. His work generally
is credited with having been the prime
cause OF a Republican victory. 1t is not
an exaggeration to say that Plumb was
one of the most popular men in Kansas.
He was the idol Of his own party and
was regarded by his political opponents
with respect.
INGALLS, LIKELY TO SUCCEED HIM.
The Kansas law provides that in the
event OF the death of senator the va
cancylshall be filled by the governors
appointment until the next meeting of
the legislature. The next legislature
does not meet until year from now.
Governor Humphrey was seen by re-
porter of the Associated Press this after
noon. He had already been notified Of
the senator's death by private dis
patch. He was greatly shocked at the
news, so much so that he has given no
thought to the senator's successor. The
name of ex-senator Ingalls, is alre ady
prominently mentioned by politicians
in fact, no other name has received any
mention at all.
MRS. PLUMB FRUSTRATED.
EMPoRIA, Kan, Dec. 20.-This city,
the home of Senator Plumb, deeply
mourns his death. Mrs. Plumb, who
has been an invalid many years, was
today able for the first time in several
months to attend church, and it was
there the news of her husbands sudden
illness was communicated to her. She
was Frustrated and taken home in a
carriage. She had scarcely arrived
there when second dispatch announced
Plumb's death. Mrs. Plumb is now
completely prostrated.

AN INSANE MANS LEAP.
He Jumped Through a Fifth Story WI
dow and Was Killed


CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-At an early hour
this morning a policeman found a man
lying on the sidewalk in Plymouth
Place in a pool of blood. The patrol
wagon was summoned, but he died in a
few minutes. Letters found in his
pockets showed his name to be Carl
Edgar Johnson, and that he was furni-
ture varnisher. Saturday afternoon he
took room in small hotel on South
Clark street.. This morning about 2
O'Clock he arose and left the place. An
investigation has disclosed the fact that
he went to the Manhattan building,
ascended to the fifth floor and jumped
through window to the sidewalk. He
did not wait to open the window, but
jumped right through the glass. His
head and body were terribly mangled.
Nothing has been learned about him
yet, but the police think he was insane.

An Hungarian Duel.

BUDA-PEsTH, Dec. 20.-Baron Fejer-
varz, lately minister of national defence
in the Hungarian cabinet, and Herr Ur-
gruon, a member OF the diet, fought a
duel today. They fired two shots with
pistols, without effect, then dropped
their firearms in disgust and continued
the duel with swords. Both were
wounded in the arm, and the baron had
an ear cut off. The duel was the result
of an attack made by Urgruon upon the
baron in speech.

The Keweenaw Arrives.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 20.-The steamer
Keweenaw, 154 days out from New
York, was reported outside tonight
about 10 o'clock. A pilot at once went
aboard, and the vessel is expected in
hourly. The Keweenaw was the first
of the new Johnson Locke Atlantic and
Pacific Steamship line to leave New

dent to her propeller, and was laid up
at Valparaiso for several weeks.

PARIS, Dec. 20.-The foreign office
is drafting treaty of commerce
between France and the United
States. 1t is expected that an
important announcement on the subject
will be soon published.
Major Brackett, of the Chicago fair
commission, in conversation with the
Associated Press correspondent, said he
finds that while the French people are
individually interested in the Chicago
tair, practically no organization exists,
except in the fine arts department.
Almost complete ignorance prevails rel
ative to the liberal and simple customs
regulations OF the United States for the
admission of exhibits. When these are
understood more interest will be shown.

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-The Chronicles

find it difficult to replace him.

ing from bronchial pneumonia, and his

to his advanced age and weakness.

How the AngeIus Was Sold.

VIENNA, Dec. 20.-The painter Verst-
chagin writes the Presse that the selling
of the Angelus and its reselling to
France, were bogus transactions, being
part of trick of American art dealers to
enhance the value of Millet's works.
Verstchagin says Sutton, the supposed
purchaser, made similar offer to him,
which was declined.

New YORK, Dec. 20.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent says: A mes
sage was received by the Chilean gov
ernment yesterday, in which, tits stated,
Secretary Blaine assured Minister Montt
that after complete investigation OF
all matters, he was confident an am
icable conclusion would be arrived at.
The status of the refugees in the Amer
ican legation must be determined by
legal tribunals under the indictment Of
congress.
The cruiser Esmeralda will represent
Chile in the great naval display in New
York harbor in 1895.
A WOMAN CORRESPONDENT.
1t now appears that the greater num-
ber of letters which have been appear
ing in the London Times, displaying SO
bitter tone toward the United States
government and its representatives,
were written by woman, and not By
the boastful Thompson. Their real
author, itseems, was Lady Jordan, wife
of Deputy Jordan at Santiago, and were
forwarded to Lisbon, whence they were
sent to the Times, and yet, during all
that time, Thompson was claiming they
were his effusions.
MR.. THoMPsoN's IMPUDENCE.
A few days ago British Minister Ken
nedy received a business visit from Egan.
This reaching Thompson's ears, he
wrote letter to Kennedy inquiring
what right Egan had to visit him and
by what right he was permitted to enter
the British legation. Minister Kennedy
sent a reply to this impudent letter ask
ing in no measured terms what right
Thompson had to designate the British
legations visitors. Thereupon Thomp-
son promptly apologized for his impu-
dence.
SECRET PROCEDURE MUST GO.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Santiago cor
respondent of the Times says: In con-
sequence OF the delay of the trial of the
persons concerned in the Baltimore riot,
the Chilean congress proposes to abolish
the antiquated secret Spanish procedure
for system of open trials, The delay
causes irritation here.
EGAN AND THE MOB.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-No informa-
ton is obtainable in Washington tonight
concerning the report OF the surround
ing of the,American legation at Santiago,
Chile, by mob, on account of the refu-
gees there. Several dispatches were re-
ceived at the state department during
the week from Egan, but the officials de-
cline to say anything on the subject. At
the Chilean legation nothing is known
about the report.
