AMERTCAN AMBASSADORS.
Mr.. Eustls to he Renominnted Next Week
as an Ambassador.

WASHINGTON. p. c.. March $50
far Great Britain and France are the
only countries that have advised the
Secretary Of State of their purpose Of
establishing embassies at Washington.
Although Germany, Russia and Mexico
have not been heard from officially on
this subject. it IS believed that they will
speedily follow the example set by Great
Britain and France In reciprocation OF
the action Of the first-named country.
Mr.. Bayard has been accredited to it as
United States ambassador. In regard 10
Minister Eustis and the French mission
il has been practically decided to renom-
mate him to the Senate as ambassador
as a safer plan Of action than for the
President TO assume the authority of
designating him as such under his con-
frmatiOn as minister plenipOtentiary. In
order that Mr. Eusts may have the dis
tinction of being the second ambassador
appointed it is more than probable his
new nomination will he sent 10 the Senate
early next week. probably Monday.

freak lived only a few miles from Holly

termined TO obtain the facts in the case.
A middle-aged negress greeted the Visi-

five feet three inches tall. and in fair
health, but fas never had any children.
She wore white cotton turban tied about
her head and tucked in at the back to
support the immense weight OF her hair.
This she removed and laid upon the table.
and unwound the braids Of her wonder
ful hair which went many times around
her head. and dropped it upon the floor.
1t was. indeed, an amazing sight. Three
braids almost as thick as a mans arm
close TO the head. but taperng 10 the
thickness of a finger at the ends. closely
plated and measuring eight feet six
inches, braided as II is, In length. II

LYNCHBURG. VA, March 3l.-Special.
The death OF "Urcle" George Duguid &C.
CURED early this morning He was
born in 1920. The remarkable old man
died in lhe identical room on Church
street in which he attended school In his
boyhood days. He was born on the very
spot where his late place Of business
stands. and during his long evantful life
in this city no man has enjoyed more
fully the entire confidence of the commu-
nity in which he lived. The house. the
leading Undertaker's establishm ent of the
city, Of which he has so long been the
head was founded by his father. Samp-
son Duigiid, in 1877, and from the time
George Duiguid entered into the respon-
sibilties OF life until incapacitated by
age and infirmities. there are few fami-
lies he has not visited in his capacity as
a funeral director, and the remains of
whose loved ones he did not tenderly
and kindly lay in their last resting places.
He was just man, whose word was as
good as his bond. which was always
worth its face. He hated anything little
and mean, and despised with contempt
the author of IT. Few men who have
died I'm this city will be more sincerely
missed than Uncle George Duisuid, as
he was Familiarity known.
The body of an unknown colored man
was found in the canal near Dingee,
Weinman & Co.'S barytes mill in this
city. The man had apparently been in
the water about three weeks. His left
arm was cut off below the elbow. but
that had doubtless been the result Of
an occurrence of years ago. The man
appeared to be about twenty-five or
twenty-three years Of age. He had no
papers on his person by which identity
could be determined. He had a pocket
book containing twenty-five cents. An
inquest was held, Justice Falwell pre-
siding. The verdict Of the jury was that
the man came to his death from some
unknown callSo.

THE BOARD IMPFACHED.
The Resolution Adopted by the Legisia-
ture without Debate.

LINCOLN. NEB.. March 31.-The two
houses of the Legislature met in joint
session at o'clock this afternoon and
without preliminary debate the resolution
pending from yesterday providing for the
drawing up of articles of impeachment
against the board of public lands and
buildings was taken up and passed with
but four dissenting votes. A commit
tee Of five. comprising Senators North
and Lowley. and Representatives Van
housen. Barry and Cotton. was appointed
to prosecute the board before the su-
preme court. The general impression
seems to be now that articles of i'm
parchment have been prepared that will
necessitate the appointment of these new
officers
Section II of article Of the constitu-
ton reads in part as follows:
No officer shall exercise his official
duties after he shall have been impeached
and notified thereof until he shall Ia We
been acquitted. This evidently bears out
the construction that the officers are i'm
peached as soon as the articles are drawn
up and they are given notice thereof.
The court under the provisions of the
same section is required to meet within
ten days after a decision Of the resolu-
tion in the joint convention and the ser
vice OF a notice Of impeachment by the
Secretary of the Senate.
