PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-Dr ID. HAYES
Agnew, the eminent surgeon, died at his
home, IN this city, at half-past o clock
this afternoon. DIR, Agnew ranked among
the first surgeons of his time In the
pursuit of his great calling and as a CON
tributor to modern medical literature he
won name that will illuminate the pages
Of history. He came in close touch with
the American people in the autumn of his
career as he consulting surgeon of Pres-
dent Garfield
DR.. y. Hrycs Agnew was the son of
a physician who had considerable local
reputation in Lancaster county, Penn
sylvnnla, where he was born in ISIS
The foundation Of his education was laid
a the Moscow Academy, Chester county.
He next proceeded 10 jefferson College.
Cannonsbnrg, Pa, and completed his
course at Newark College, Delaware HAY
lng determined 70 adopt medicine AS n pro
LESSON, lie entered the University Of Penn
sylvania, whence he graduated in 1888 re-
nrlng to the country, whtre, without re-
laXing his studies, he cndeavored to acquire
q practice. His success in this respect
however, was not equal to his hopes and
after couple of years he came to Phila-
delphia to open NJ career for himself
One Of DR.. Agnew's strongest points was
his perfect familiarity with the human
III
first decided step in his profession and laid
the foundation Tor his subsequent dis
tlnguished career Soon after coming to
Philadelphia he began course of lectures
AZ the Philadelphia School of Anatomy
JIG maintained his connection with that
institution until about 1862. The institu-
tion went out Of existence shortly after his
resignation, in speakingof which fellow.
surgeon said He was the school, lie
made il and il made him. Another
friend said of him. zone Of the reasons
why Agncw always operates So success
fully il that he always knows within q
hairs breadth where lie is cutting lie has
a wonderfully minute anatomical lnnwl-
edge and he always appears to have the
exact bearings Of the different organs and
tissues as wildly before his eve us il the
outer ONES were made of glass;
After President Garfield was wounded in
lSSl Dr. Agnew was called upon as Il con
sulting physician, and he made freuuent
trips 70 Washington and Elberon for that
purpose. Toward the latter part of July in
the summer OF 1881 it was found necessary
60 use the knife on the diving President.
Around the bed We're half dozen Of the
most eminent physicians of the country,
but DR.. Bliss felt that there was only one
surgeon present 10 whom the delicate oper-
alton should be entrusted. He passed the
keen-edged blade to DR. Agnew, to whom.
by this graceful Acknowledgement, the eyes
or the whole country were drawn. The re-
currence Of dangerous symptoms required
second application Of surgical skill, and
the relief afforded to the patient in both
instances will still be remembered As he
said himself afterwards, DIR. Agnew was
never sanguine Of the President S recovery,
and always regarded the case as one Of
great hazard.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The silver de-
bate in the House TO day showed an in
tensity of public interest in that great
question which now faces the 52d Congress
for solution and threatens to become d 10
lltical issue in the Presidential campaign.
The speeches were all of u strongly posi-
tive character; they were the arguments of
men who have stern convictions. upon the
sides which they represent and who are
uncompromising in their declarations in
the policy which should be pursued.
The gentlemen who pinned their hopes
on the chances OF compromise at the last
hour by the substitution of bill provid.
ing for an international monetary corr

OF their opponents, and already rumors are
rife that the committee on rules will in this
event be requested promptly to report Il

of the latter were then made BY j, Alex

after which series Of resolutions of re-.
spect to his memory were passed. During
the morning session there was quite good
deal OF purely routine business disposed of,
such rs the hearing of committee reports,
&c, INC afternoon session was occupied
some time in discussing the discipline
OF the military department, there being
something of 4 difference of opinion be-
tween the army officer here, Lieutenant
r.. G. Brooks, and President Raub, as TO the
standard of efficiency and thoroughness
demanded by the United States govern
ncnt from which the college receives al
most its entire support Tho former. ii is
quite natural to suppose, insists on making

that IS, high and productive Of good re-
suits, and he, rs well as his predecessor
capt. Brown, has endeavorcd to the utmost
to bring this condition of the department
about, not, however, with entire success
because of the great difficulty thrown in
the way.
said q prominent trustee after the meet
ing ''rhe president and part of the
board seem to labor under the impression
that the military department is of most
Trivial Importance, the government and
work OF which is of secondary considera-
ton. Y is natural to suppose that the Fed
eral government does not spend several
thousand dollars here every year for the
maintenance Of farce, which is almost
the present status Of the department rs far
as the college is concerned The govern
ment wants drill made compulsory un all
those who are not physically disabled the
wearing Of the regulation uniform during

of the military department enforced and
not tritled with or abrogated entirely. The
result predict, will he the withdrawal Of
