Historian Freeman Dead.

LoNpoN, March 16-News is received of
the death of Professor Edward Augustus
Freeman, of Somerset.
Edward Augustus Freeman was born at Har-
borne. Staffordshire, England, in 1898 He was
the son of a country gentleman and was edu-
Gated at Trinity college, Oxford, and in 1915 be-
came a fellow OF the college. He de-
voted himself TO historical studies,
but his early essays indicated purpose
rather TO connect these with the great buildings
left as the mark OF each succeeding age. In
1919 his first work was published, "a History OF
Architecture" followed in the next year by
San Essay on Window Tracery." Two years
later he published "The Architecture Of
LANDAU Cathedral" He published "a His
tory of the Saracens" in 1856, being
stimulated thereto by the interest in all matter
pertaining to the East aroused by the Crimean
war. and the civil war in the United States led
led to his incomplete "IIistory of Federal Cow
ernment," Published in 1868. Freeman was a
thorough advocate of constitutional liberty.
and a firm believer in that idea of racs
which has come into prominence in recent
history OF the world. Serving as an illustration
OF both these principles is his great work on the
History OF the Norman Conquest OF England,
its Causes and Results" published in six vol
umes from 1867 to 1879 This work is marked by
the graphic style OF his former works, while it
displays abundant evidence Of careful research
aud serupulous regard for accuracy
OF fact Since the completion OF
bis history OF the interesting epochs
which be had first selected for investigation he
sdded two volumes in lss2 on "The Reign of
William Rufus and the Accession of Henry l."
He also published from time to time historical
essays, marked by freshness, originality and
keen insight. In the various questions of the
day, arising out OF general European politics,
he has taken great interest, making his deduo-
tons from past history bear with great force on
the issues OF the present time. In opposition to
the Turkish power he advocated the liberia
ton and naturalization of its subjec.
Christian races, treating this matter in his work
''The ottoman Porte in Europe, Its Nature, Its
Growth and Is Decline" In 1881 hs
published sketches from the Sub
ject and Neighbor Lands OF Venice
as the result OF his observations in
a trip through the countries on the east side OF
the A1riatic sen. From October, 1881, to April,
1ss2. he made journey through the northern
tier Of the states of the United states delivering
lectures, which were aiterward published under
the title Of Lectures 10 American Audiences"
After his return 10 England he published ''Somo
Impressions OF the Uailed States.

O'NEILL. Neb., March 16.-A gigantic at
tempt to capture 10000 acres of land in
this county is now in progress. One
hundred and twenty men, under the lead
ership of immigration Commissioner
Steward, of the Pacific Short Line, ap-
peared this morning at the United States
land Office and attempted to file contests
on 120 quarter sections. The land is really
all occupied, and if the gang succeeds IN
having the land Office accept the contest
papers, bloodshed will undoubtedly fol-
low.
When the men went to file claims they
discovered that the land was from thirty
to forty miles north of the city, located on
the old Ponca reservation. On the train
last night Steward held ont the idea that
the land was close to the railroad and
first-class, while it is far away and much
of it is said to be worthless. 1t is thought
Steward will make about $4,000 out of
the deal

ST. PETERSBURG, March 16-Guenzburg,
the bankrupt banker, recently informed
Vishnegradski. minister of finance, of
the embarrassed condition of the
bank, and requested an advance of s., ,0O0,-
600 roubles, offering as security some vaIu-
able Ural gold mines. The minister was
willing to oblige Guenzburg. but the car
fatty declined to give permission for the
transaction. The banker was there
upon compelled to suspend pay
ment. The magnitude of the bill
discounting operations between Guenz-
burg and Warburg, of Hamburg, has ex-
cited attention. For years Guenzburg's
credit had remained good, assisted by
brilliant marriages of the daughters of the
family with the SEASONS, of England. and
the Gutmans, the wealthiest iron masters
of Austria. The failure is ascribed to bold
speculations by Baron David Guenzburg,
president. of the Paris branch, who de-
sired to develop the entente between
France and Russia, but failed to acquire a
firm foothoid on the Paris bourse. Several
newspapers declare that favorable set
tlemcnt of the affairs of Guenzburg is
assured. He claims 3, 250, 900 roubles assets
over his liabilities.

South and the treatment he had received
at the hands of the Southerners. He

mingham, its resources and future, and
continued:
He was glad the inhabitants had not forgotten
the principles had down by jefferson; glad that
they had not forgotten the fact that the great
and valuable acquistions of territory OF this

part:
The success of this effort viii surely be an
other proof OF the great spirit ard active energy
OF the people who undertake enormous and
difficult tasks with such great energy aad happy

Washington Delegation Not in Politics.

WAsHINGToN CITY. March 16.-TSpecial1
The members of the Washington dele
CATION in congress have been polite
enough to have little to say and little to do
with the schemes of the prominent Re-
publican politicians in Washington City
in reference to the presidential nomina-
ton. At this time the national capitol is
the hotbed of politics. Politicians from
every section of the country have been
iiocking here, and various attempts have
been made to form combinations in the in
terest of one faction or another. The ma
jority of the congressman have been taking
part in these political deliberations. There
is no doubt that their legislative duties
have been somewhat neglected. As before
stated, the members of the Washington
delegation cannot be charged with having
devoted any of their time to presidential
politics, and have, therefore, been more
successful than delegations from other
states in watching out for the interests of
their constituents. This is especially
true so far as Senator Allen is
concerned. The senator has had nothing
whatever to do with the various schemes
that have been concocted in the interest of
any of the presidential candidates He
has had nothing to say against President
Harrison, and has been wise enough to
have very little to say in his interest.
This places the senator upon an independ-
ent footing with his colleagues, and for
this reason he has made no enemies what
ever and gained good many friends in
the wise course he has taken. Senator
Allen seems to believe that his duty in
congress lies in paying strict attention to
his legislative duties and to the work that
Will be of benefit to all his constituents in
the state of Washington. If he has any
views in regard to the Republican nominal
tion he has, up to the present time, de-
clined to air them for the benefit of any
one. In taking this course it would APP
pear that he has been polite in every
sense of the word. and in the end Will per-
sonally be a gamer, and his constituents
will probably fare better because OF the po-
sition he has taken.
