Senator Plumb Dead.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-''Oh, my God,
my head, my head, my head!" and Sem
ator Preston B. Plumb, who, as a rep
resentative of Kansas in the United
States senate continuously since 1875,
councils of the Republican party, few
minutes later fell unconscious, never to
regain knowledge of what was going
on about him.
It was a quarter to o'clock this
morning when he uttered this exclama-
ton. A little more than five hours
later the broad-framed, powerful-look-
ing Kansas senator was stretched out
dead in his modest apartments on Four
teenth street. His physician, DR.. Philip
S. Wales, his clerk, b. w. Flenniken,
and his landlord, Mr.. Jennings were
with him at the end. His wife and two
children are in Kansas. Death came
from apoplexy, the result of exhaustion
of the brain. It was a clear case of
overwork and inattention to the laws
of nature.
Senator Plumb was born in Delaware
county, Ohio, Oct. IL, 1887, SO that he
was in his fifty-fourth year at the time
of his death. He was not a college
graduate, but left the common schools
for the printers case, and in pursuance
of his vocation as a journeyman printer
in 1855, in the bloody days of the histo-
ry of the newly organized territory of
Kansas, engaged in the newspaper bus
mess.
He enlisted early during the war in
the 11th Infantry and was commits
stoned a colonel of the same regiment
in August, 1862. After the war Mr.
Plumb, returning to Kansas, was elect
ed a member and speaker of the house
of representatives for Kansas, and in
1876 was chosen United States senator
to su ,ceed James NJ. Harvey, resigned.
He took his seat in 1877 and has repre-
sented his state as senator ever since
that time. His term of Office would
have expired March 8, 1895.

ENGLISH engineers who have watched
the gradual development of the speed
of railway trains in this country be-
lieve that tine limit with the present
rails and rolling stock has nearly been
reached. They say that as matters
stand it would seem that it is easier to
construct motive power which will
propel, or rather drag, vehicles at
startling pace than to design vehicles
that will keep on the track or be unin-
jured by the heat generated, but it is
quite possible that some form of rail
and wheel may yet be designed which
will permit of higher rate of speed
than has been achieved vet.

An Address by the Pnne.

ROME, Dec. 23.-The Pope delivered al
address at the annual reception to the
sacred college to-day. Referring to the
labor encyclical, he said he was gratiied
that the document had produced marked
movement among the working classes to-
ward the holy see. His object in address
ing the French workmen's pilgrimage had
been to render the enclyclical more effec-
tive He designed similarly to address
pilgrimages organized in Europe and
America. But the visits of bodies of work
men mad been suddenly stopped by un-
dignitled means, already known to the
world. Tue adversaries of the church
strove to defeat the noblest and most BENT
tcient undertakings because they foresaw
those undertakings would heighten the
glory and influence of the papacy. Never
theless the papacy would persevere in its
mission of peace, salvation and redemp
ton, even to the advantage of its adver
saries.
