over and killed near Mamaroneck,
Conn, by train, has been described
as an artist, though he never drew
sketch What he really did was to
furnish his ideas to vell-known artists,
who found them so vital and so pointed
that they always paid him liberally for
them. He was really remarkable
man, and many of the best-known az

 SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-That the railroad strike in northern California is believed to be nearing the end is shown in the fact that preparations are being made to retire the state militia from the field, the militiamen expecting to be ordered home not later than Sunday next. The marines who have been stationed at Oakland will leave for Mare Island tomorrow morning.
 At Sacramento large force of militia and regular soldiers is still maintained. Troops are also held at Dunsmuir and edblutf, on the Oregon branch and at Truckee, Rocklin, Woodland and Port Costa. At Truckee and Rocklin there is strong force of regulars and marines. Armed guards continue to escort many of the more important trains but of late there have been no serious dis turbances. The railroad company is still badly in need of men for many lines of particular work but there is no longer any doubt that the strikers have lost their cause and there is no longer any hope of compromise.

LOYAL MIR. VILLAS Defends the Character of His Late Employer. Counters on the Senator
 From Maryland. The Administration Receives a
 Discolored Optic.
The Motion of Senator Hill to Re- cede From the Amendment to
 Protect Iron Ore Defeated.

By the Associated Press.
 WAsHINGToN, July 26.-Senator Villas who WAS secretary of the interior and later postmaster general during MT. Cleveland's first administration, re- piled today to Senator Germans at tack upon the president. For two hours he held the floor amid the wrapt attention of the senate and the gal leries, delivering his scathing rebuke of the Maryland senator.
 He denounced MT. Gorman's assault as wanton, reckless and unjustfable, and though he declared that Mir. Cleveland needed no defense at his hands he took up seriatim the charges made by MT. German and met them with masterly skill and logic. He made his statement, he said, in the in- terest of the truth and of history. MT. German was not in the senate at the time and to this fact the Wisconsin senator called attention with regret.
 In conclusion he eulogized the per sonal character and public integrity of MT. Cleveland in the most glowing terms, declaring with dramatic fervor that president of the United States who had received so many evidences of the honor and respect of the people could not suffer from this attack of the Maryland senator.
 At the conclusion of his speech MT. Villas explained that in view of the fact that Messrs. German and Smith had assured him that his motion to recede from one-eighth diferential in favor of the refners of sugar, must fail and the further fact that the Democratic caucus had decided to agree to further conference without instructions, he would withdraw his motion.
 After some general remarks by Sena- tor Stewart against the interference of the executive with the legislative branch of the government, Mr. Hills motion that the senate recede from its amendments placing duty of 40 cents per ton on coal and iron, was voted on and defeated, the Republicans. except MT. Hansbrought of North Dakota joining with the Democrats bound by caucus agreement against it.
