Saturday he had relapse. He recovered
partly from this, but yesterday the
symptoms were more aggravated and be-
fore night he was looked upon as dying
man. After dark last night he had several
rigors and at 1920 p. m. his physicians
gave up all hope, and later informed his
friends that he could not live until morn
ing.
Their prediction was only too correct,
for at lis this morning he passed away
to his eternal rest.
Was Conscious just Before the End.
During the last hours of his life the Sec
retary's wife, who had been devoted in
her attention to him all through his ILL
ness, sat beside his bed reading from the
Bible the passages he loved to hear. He
was conscious until just before the end,
spoke bravely and confidently of the great
change he knew was coming and words Of
hope and cheer to his stricken loved ones.
Thus he lay until just before 1:15, the
great change came, his eyes glazed and
his pulse hickered; a peaceful sleep then
seemed to fall upon him and-the end
had come.

Two Young Toughs strung Up at Danville,
Ills.
BLOOMINGTON, Ills, May 25.-The Pan.
tagraph special from Danville, Ills, says:
A mob of farmers at midnight attacked
the Vermillion county jail to secure John
Halls, Jr., and William Royce who raped
Miss Laura Barnett Thursday night.
Sheriff Thompson denied admission and
the mob procured telephone pole and
used 1t as battering ram. After re-
peated efforts to break down the outer
Jail door with the telephone pole. which
produced little or no effect, tho crowd
momentarily desisted in its efforts. Ed
McCusker stood on the jail steps and ad.
dressed the mob, begging it to desist.
He was laughed down. Sheriff Thomp.
son, his wife and Deputy Sheriff Sloan
also beseeched the mob to dispense. Il. v.
Barnett the father of the injured girl,
said to Mrs. Thompson: Madam, you
blood demands vengeance" His reply
was wildly applauded.
BY this time railroad tie was secured
and with three blows the outer door was
battered in, the besiegers thronged in and
commenced work on the inner door. AT
1:30 they were pounding away on the in
ner door and searching the garrett. The
mob was nearly all farmers from the
southern part of the county where Miss
Barnett lives. The crowd gathered at
a livery barn within block of the Jail
and marched in a body to the jail The pc.
lice ana peace officers were unable to CON
troll the mob. The police at o clock took
Judge Bookwalter, the circuit Judge, to
jail. He made an earnest and eloquent
plea to let the law take its course and not
bring disgrace on Vermilion county by
the first lynching in its history.
A little later the mob secured their two
victims and took them to bridge in the
east end of town, where they were hanged
amid wild yells.

TROUBLE OVER RECIPROCITY.
Sweeping Away of All the Treaties Gives
the Secretary More Work.

Sweeping Away of All the Treaties Gives
the Secretary More Work.
Bya clause in the Wilson tariff act
the carefully constructed reciprocity
treaties negotiated by the preceding ad-
ministration. This caused great anger
among the nations with which the Unit
ed States had such treaties, and the storm
fell upon Gresham's head. Every where
there was talk of retaliation and tariff
wars and in some cases this was realized
to certain extent. 1t was Gresham's
task to placate the European powers and
how skillfully he did so the printed CORE
spondence tells. He fairly amazed the
Germans and Austrians, used as they
were to the devious ways of diplomacy, by
frankly admitting that they were right.
He also promised that he would do all
that could be done to bring congress to
see this and make reparation, promise
which he faithfully endeavored to redeem
to the last and thereby strengthen his
own hands in the vexatious negotiations
looking to the removal of the unjust and
onerous restrictions placed upon the inn
portation of American cattle and meats.
He was opposed to the tripartite arrange
ment for the government Of the Samoan
islands and finally succeeded in getting
Cleveland to recommend to congress that
the United States withdraw.
His good offices in the Chino-Japan war
had no little effect in Fastening the peace
that has been proclaimed. He was equally
successful in averting war between Guate-
mala and Mexico. In the case Of the
claim of United States citizens against
Venezuela Gresham secured the judicial
annunciation OF the principle that gov
ernment ia responsible for injury done to
foreigners by insurgents. Gresham had
also to consider the Blueflelds matter, in
which he obtained from Great Britain
disclaimer that she had any wrong pur-
pose in her action there. 1t is clear in
fact that his studies of the numerous Dip
lomatic questions he had to handle was
really the cause of his fatal illness.
In appearance Gresham was somewha
slender-in youth remarkably so-six feet
tall, his black beard and hair turned to
an iron gray. His eyes were hazel, full
and large, with the power ito threaten
and command" but soft and amiable in
familiar conversation. His voice was
pleasing and consorted we'll with his hab-
itual demeanor, which was quiet and
modest. AS man he was kind, generous
and frank. He was social and approach
able. 1t was in his home life that he was
most to be admired. In 1858 he married
Matilda, the daughter of Thomas Nc
Grain, man of Scotch Irish descent.
