CAPT. DENSMORE DEAD.
The Chief Usher of the White House Passes
Quietly Away.


Capt. E. S. Densmore Chief Usher of the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, and one of the best known
men in Washington, died yesterday at his resi-
dence, I25 Florida avenue northwest. For
three days previous his life has been despaired
of, and indeed since the commencement of his
illness last May, there has been little hope Of
his recovery. The Summer spent at his old
home in Vermont failed to loosen the hold of
the fatal Bright's disease upon him, and on
Saturday night he babe his daughters good by
knowing that his end was near. His brother,
Jason, of Vermont was also with him at his
death.
Capt. Densmore was one of the remarkable
figures of official life at the National Capital
He was soldier and gentleman, and Ameri-
can to the backbone. He came to Washington
permanently in 1872, taking position on the
Metropolitan police force. where he was soon
promoted to Sergeant. A great deal OF his
service was about Wizards Hotel, where lie
became personally acquainted with most of the
distinguished men OF official life He never
forgot face, and this faculty, together with
his own urbane manners recommended him
for duty at the White House, where he went
during the first part OF President Hayes's
Administration.
There he remained until about the middle of
President Cleveland's term, when he resigned
10 try travelling agency for a Pittsburg firm.
On the election OF President Harrison, Capt.
Densmore was called upon TO take charge Of the
Executive household during the Inauguration,
and there he remained in the capacity of Chief
Usher until illness compelled him to leave his
post.
Coupled with great executive ability, which
enabled him to handle men in masses, Capt.
Densmore also possessed a sort OF personal mag
netism which made all men like him. AS tho
medium through which most of the communi-
cation between the people aud the President
passed, his was most delicate and responsible
position, but he filled it as few men can. and
his death is consequently regretted by many, of
all ranks and stations in life

Postal TeIegraphy.

Postmaster General Wanamaker has returned
to Washington from campaigning tour of the
West fully convinced that his postal telegraph
proposition meets with the approval of the
people. He says there more favorable
mention made to him Of that branch of his
work as Postmaster General than anything he
has done, and he is inclined to give postal
telegraphy very strong Endorsement III his
annual report which he is now writing. He
says he also found that penny letter postage
and the extension of free mail delivery to
smaller cities and into thickly settled rural
districts are very popular. 1t is expected that
his next and last annual report will be i'm
portant and the most interesting he has issued.

Prospects of Another South American War.
1t is expected that Chile and Peru will go to
war again over the two southern provinces
of Tacna and africa During the late war with
Chile Peru lost these two provinces, and iii the
treaty of peace it was stipulated that these two
territories should remain under the control Of
Chile for 10 years and at the end OF that time
a popular vote should be taken, which would
determine whether the provinces should re-
main under Chiles control or go back to Peru.
During the 10 years these two provinces have
become of great value to Chile, both politically
and commercially. The terms of the treaty
will expire next October, and although the
majority of the inhabitants are for Peru, q
large number are of Chilean parentage, but the
latter class will be largely outnumbered. Chile
does not want to lose these two territories, and
it is expected that she will declare war rather
than surrender them. In case of war it is e1-
pected that Argentine will side with Peru,
since that Government was in sympathy with
the late Balmaceda and has no love for the
present form of Chilean Government.

Col. Ludlow Severely Scored.

Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey Mendenhall, who is member of the
Lighthouse Board, submitted report to Secre-
tary of the Treasury Foster last week, con-
corning the relief of Col. William Ludlow, En-
gineer Corps of the Army (who was at one time
the Engineer Commissioner of the District of
Coumbia). and Commander Heyerman, U. S.
Navy, from duty under the Lighthouse Board.
The entire history of the lighting of st. Mary's
River, Mich, is reviewed in this report, Begin
ming with the suggestions of Representative
Parsons, of Ohio, in 1888, and reciting all sub
sequent details Although instructed by the
Board to make joint report with Commander
Elmer, U. S. Navy, as to the feasibility and
cost Of lighting the river, Col. Ludlow took up
the matter alone. His individual report was
approved, and appropriation Of $4,000 was
made by Congress to begin the work. Com
mander Heyerman at this time succeeded Com
mander Elmer, as Inspector of the District,
and it is claimed that Col. Ludlow entirely
ignored both these Inspectors. Mr.. Menden
hall says in concluding his report:
"Col. Ludlow, throughout his entire service
with the Board rs Engineer of the Ninth and
Eleventh Districts, exhibited a disposition to
exceed his authority to be iDsubordinate, to
trespass upon the rights and authority of other
officers, and to be disrespeCtfu in his inter-
course with tho Board. Although he received
the reprimand of the Board on several occasions
it did not prevent his continuing in course Ito
which the word contumacious may not justly
apply which eliminated i'll the matter of the
lighting of st. Mary's River. 1t is fully shown
how in this case he acted without authority,
but the gravamen of his ofiense was that he so
completely kept the Board in the dark as to his
plans and operations that it was forced to take
steps which have unfortunately been greatly
misunderstood by many people and grossly
misrepresented by Others so that it has been
assumed in certain localities that the Board
was an obstacle in the way of the successful
navigation of the st. Mary's River at night
and that in opposition to it Col. Ludlow stood
out as the originator and champion of this
most important improvement
If such Board has no recourse when those
detailed to its service are insubordnate, disre-
spectful, if even only distasteful, ii is clear
that its membership could not be easily re-
cruited among self respecting men,"

Philad eiphia's Piumed Captain Gets
American Pork Into Spain.
Special to the JERSEY City Nevs.
NEWARK, May 81. 1S92.-Dr. Leslie D.
Ward, vice-president Of the Prudential
Insurance Company of this city received
the following cablegram, dated at Mad
rid, from his friend General e. Burd
Grub. Minister to Spain. yesterday
morning:
II have succeeded in getting the prohi-
billion OIL Importation into Spain taken
off. GRUBB."
This message relates to the edict against
the Importation of American pork. which
had existed in Spain for wears and which,
owing to the mastery efforts of General
Grub, has just been rescinded.
When Minister Grub some time ago
began negotiations TO secure admit
lance for the American hog into
Spain he encountered strong OPP
position, The action of France and
Germany In admitting the pork was a
point in his favor, and the negotiations
were seemingly on the road to success,
when the opposition raised such an
cutlery hat the Ministry showed a dis.
position 20 recede from its position.
General Grub, however, exercised the
tact and fine diplomacy which has made
him so prominent a figure in Madrid,
and as a result the announcement Is
made that Spain has taken off her pro.
hibitipn.
This is q great victory, and opens
another large market to America.
