During the war Mr.. Blaine gained great dis
unetion for his parliamentary skill and his for
ensic power in the debates that grew out OF that
crisis. In lSC2 Mr. Blaine was elected TO Con-
gtess, where in one branch or other, he served
fer eighteen years. His growth in position and
influence was rapid and unbroken. His close
study Of political history, his accurate linowl-
edge Of the record and relations OF public men,
and his unfailing memory, gave him great ad-
Vantages, and enabled him 10 be bold in attack
quick in repartee and apt in Illustrations.
Mr.. Blaine was appointed senator to fiji the
unexpired term OF Senator morrill,, who re.

When the republican national convention in
1884 met NJ Chicago, he was nominated by the
republican party for president OF the United
States. The election turned upon the result In
New York, and was lost TO Mr. Blaine. where.

The white house, the executive de-

were already draped in heavy crepe
over the death of ex-President Hayes
and Associate Justice Lamar AS they
pass around, strangers are asking them
selves, did anyone ever see such sober
ness? Did anyone ever know of such a
harvest of death as has been reaped un-
der this administration? Who will fall
neXt?"
At 1880 p. m, Friday, it was stated
by friends of the the family that the
funeral arrangements had been so far
determined upon that the services
would be held Monday forenoon and
the remains would be at least tempor-
arily inferred here in Washington city.
Whether the funeral would be public
or private, or whether the final resting
place would be here or at some other
chosen spot in Maine or elsewhere is
not yet definitely settled.
CAPITOL, ALBANY, n. V, Jan. 2S.-
The assembly had adjourned before the
news of Mr. Blaine's death reached
here. Senator Cantor announced his
death in the senate, when an adjourn
ment was taken in honor OF his memory
until Monday evening.
New YORK, Jan. 2S-The tidings of
Mr.. Blaine's death spread over the city
rapidly, causing little surprise, how
ever, as the end had been so long antic-
ipated that the demise caused no shock.
The flags were speedily hoisted to half
mast on the city hall and on the Tri-
bune building.

be allowed to die outside the walls of

into the matter and recommended to the

clemency. Gov. Richards, during recent

Brown, and saw him in the hospital. He

A QUESTION OF TAXATION.

1t Comes From Custer County to tho
United States Court.
The case of Custer county vs. w. j. An
derson was argued in the United States
court before Judge Knowles yesterday. J.
w. 6trevell represented the county and e.
O. Day argued for Anderson. The case is
one transferred from the district court OF
Custer county, and involves the question Of
the right of an assessor to list property for
purposes of taxation, on information and
belief, after the owner has refused to make
return under oath of what he owns. The
county treasurer of Custer sought to collect
81, 78O for taxes for 1889. and $178 penalty
for failure to Fay on time; also $1,542 for
1890 taxes and $603 for expenses. Anderson
refused to pay and the treasurer seized
some Of his cattle on the Grow reservation.
Anderson's cowboys recovered the cattle
from the treasurer and his assistants by
force, and drove them off. Then the suit
was brought.
The only point at issue is MS to whether
the county assessor can list property on in
formation and belief when the owner re-
fuses to make return under oath; or
whether. as claimed by Anderson, he must
do it after personal inspection and ap-
praisement. The case involves the con-
truotion of the revenue act OF Montana Of
1887, and subsequent amendments.

LIKE THE CASE OF BYERS.
Tho Supreme Court Of the United
States Makes an Important
Ruling.
It Was In the Matter Of Lord
Beresford's Alleged
Son.
Ard It Will Regulate Judge Knowles In
Deciding the Case Here-Other
Court ProcsedingA

Judge Knowles, Of the United States cir-
cult court. yesterday wrote for copy of
the opinion Of the United States supreme
court in the case OF Sidney Lasceles alias
Walter s. Beresford. Tho judge wanted II
for use in the case of William Byers. who
is asking for relief from prosecution in the
district court on a different charge from
that for which he was extradited from Kan
sas. Byers was brought back from Kansas
by City Marshal Calvin to answer charge
of forgery. He was convicted in tho dis
trict court and sentenced to one yenr in the
penitentiary. A new trial was asked for.
Meantime County Attorney Moan filed an
information against Byers, charging him
with larceny as bailee. Byers' counsel con-
tended that having been brought back on
one charge he could not be tried on an
other. Judge Knowles heard the arRu-
ments last week. but reserved his decision
pending the settlement OF the
Beresford case BY the supreme
court. The Beresford case was
decided on Monday. Berestord claimed to
be the son of Lord Beresford. and cut
wide swath in New York and other places
on the strength Of 1t. and in every instance
somebody else footed the bill. New York
had not gotten ION to'' him when Georgia
people awakened to the fact that he was
swindler. He was taken back from New
York on requisition papers charging one
offense, but ON his arrival efforts we're
made TO try him for other offenses. The
same claim was set up in his case as in that
of Byers. The supreme courts decision is
TO the effect that Beresford can be tried in
Georgia on other charges than that for
which he was extraditcd. and that without
being first returned to Now York. Similar
cases have been decided before in the same
way by the lower courts. The decision by
the United States supreme court 10 the first
by tho highest tribunal in the land. Judge
Knowles will be guided BY II In determin-
ing the Byers case.
