Columbus, Ohio, Dec, 12-Allen G. Thur
man died at lis this afternoon. The
immediate cause of his death was the
fall he received some weeks age. He was
50 years old the 18th of last November
Allen G. Thurman was born la Virginia
in 1913. In 1885 he was admitted to the bar.
and in 1851 was appointed judge of the
supreme court of Ohio, beng male chief
justice three years later. He held this
position for two years and ran for gov
ernor of the state, being defeated Two
years afterwards he was elected governor
by a large majority. He was elected
United States senator in 1859, and served
in the senate continuously till 1881, being
for the greater part of that time the
leader of the Democratic party in that
body Together with Senator Edmunds,
of Vermont, he attacked and overcame
several vicious pieces of railroad legisla-
ton. His career In the senate was clean
and dignifed, and both parties respected
and admired him. He was talked of for
secretary of state in Cleveland's first ad-
ministration, but was not rendered the
position. In 1888 he ran for the vice-pres-
idency with Mr.. Cleveland. He leaves
a gon, Allen w. Thurman, leader of the
silver Democrats of Ohio. His wife died
three years ago.
Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 12.-Upon learning
of the death of ex-senator Thurman,
Governor Mckinley said:
1.-The death of Judge Thurman is deep
loss to Ohio and to the nation. His long
and useful public career, characterized as
1t was by nobility of purpose and purity
of character, endeared him to the hearts
of the people, irrespective of politics. His
death removes one of the nations great
est statesmen, and one of Ohio's greatest
citizens, and all mourn his loss as we
would that of beloved friend"
Out of respect to his memory Gov Nc
Kinley ordered the flags to be displayed
at half mast over the state capitol until
after the obsequies.

HIS LITTLE GAME
Huntington Says That Uncle
Sam Was Benefited.
Pacific Railroads More Than Made
Up Their Cost t9Athe Govern
ment-Recent Letters.

A special from Washington to the New
York Herald says:
If the Pacific railroads do not get what
they want out of the Fifty-fourth con-
gress it will not be because they are not
early in the field, or because they are
backward about letting their wants
known.
1t has developed since congress assem-
bled that some time ago Mr.. C. p Hunt
ington, first vice president of the Central
Pacific railroad, sent out to senators and
representatives who were supposed not
to be unfriendly to his road printed copies
of letter which he wrote in January
last to Mr.. Reilly, of Pennsylvania, who
was at that time chairman of the house
committee on Pacific railroads.
Annexed to this letter is another letter,
which Mr.. Huntington had written earlier.
The two letters taken together present
the arguments which Mr.. Huntington ad-
vances in \support of the legislation de-
sired by the Pacific road.
Mr.. Huntington makes 1t appear that
from the very beginning of the construc-
tion and operation of the Central Pacific
the government has been the gamer In
the relations between them, and the rail-
road has shouldered all the burden. He
pictures the directors of the company as
public benefaotors who worked in the
face of almost insurmountable difficulties,
not so much for their own interests as
for the benefit of the public. He then
goes into an argument to show that the
government has been gamer in spite of
the failure of the road to meet the inter-
est on its bonds, by the saving which
has been effected in the cost of trans
porting mails. troops, military supplies
and other government property and Of
lcials over the road
He argues that the government has no
claim whatever upon the earnings CT the
una'ded branch lines controlled by the
Central Pacific company. and that the
action of the government in holding the
earnings due for services performed on
Z ese roads has been breach of con-
tract on the part Of the government.

SBATTLD'S NEW MOVE
To Establish a Sugar Refinery
on the Sound.
If Offer is Accepted Will Remit

at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 12.-The steamship
City of Peking arrived tonight from Yo-
kohama and Honolulu, bringing the fol-
lowing advices to the Associated Press:
Honolulu. Dec. 6-The merchants Of Se-
attle, Wash, have made an offer to Ha-
waiian planters They are willing to fur
nlsh the site for a sugar refinery remit
the state and county taxes for term
of ten years, and offer other inducements.
The idea is to ship raw sugar to Seattle
and refine 1t there. The vessels would
return with merchandise or freight. II
the offer is accepted It win be severe
blow to San Francisco, which now vir-
tually controls the Hawaiian trade
According to the present contract, the
trust buys the entire sugar crop OF the
Hawaiian Islands, at the price prevailing
in New York. with certain commissions
added. Unless the planters gain their
point, the acceptance of Seattle's offer
is within the range Of possibilities

THE FIRST BILL.
Various Proceedings in Congress-No
Money for Seeds.


Washington, Dec. 12-The proceedings
of the senate today were more varied.
They covered the entire range of legi5-
lation, from the Introduction of petitions,
bills and resolutions, to the passage Of
bills and included two formal addresses.
A bill extending the Chicago port of en-
try so as to cover the state of Illinois re-
ceived the final endorsement Of the sen-
ate, having already passed the house.
This will probably be the first bill of the
54th congress to becorre a law. Almost
an hour of the session was devoted to
listening to PETERS advocacy Of his bill
curtailing the expenses incurred in con-
gressional funerals and providing that a
sergeant-at-arms shall take tho place Of
committees, now sent out by the two
houses as escorts TO their homes, of the
remains OF deceased members
On motion of Hansbrough a resolution
was passed calling upon the secretary
of agriculture for information as to
whether he had expended all or any part
of the last appropriation for the purchn ie
and distribution of seeds Secretary Nor,
tion hsls refused to spend this money. g
Call then addressed the senate upon his
resolution. declaring It the duty of the
civilized powers to suppress the crueltes
alleged to be perpetrated upon the Arme-
MANS subjects of Turkey.

Plan Of Those Interested in the Little
Ones to Prevent Their Visiting the
station House


A New York journal says: Miss Ellen
Collins, who, as a school inspector and
visitor among the poor, has many oppor-
tunties Of coming into contact with the
poor and uneducated element Of our pop-
ulation, feels that an important principle
is involved In the plan Of labelling chill
dren when playing in the street.
The idea has lately been suggested by
Miss Collins and Mrs. Anna Jackson Of
the Society OF Friends, who works with
Miss Collins, OF persuading the working
people who are Obliged to leave their
children at play in the street, while they
are absent from home, TO tie to each
child's clothing a tag bearing It's name
and address, so that when found by a
policeman the strayed little ones can be
returned without delay.
THE children are often kept all day In
the station house without being claimed,
Miss Collins said yesterday, "and this has
two bad results; one that they become
familiar with the station and scenes
there, which is very unwise, and also that
the city is obliged 10 feed them: and that
Is all wrong. In this country, unlike the
plan abroad, we are trying In every way
to teach the people, even OF the lowest
classes TO take care OF themselves and to
bring up their own children. II they
feel that they can do so, many OF the
working peoIpe will quietly shut their
children out and leave them, and then 20
to police headquarters at night and claim
their lost little ones. expecting that the
matrons have cared for them and fed
them during the day. The poor little
ones are too frightened, or don't know
enough English to tell where they be-
long"
The plan is to send tags around by all
missionaries or visitors among the tene-
,ments, and gradually to introduce the
new system, hoping thus to reduce the
number. which, In one precinct. has been
more than one hundred children In a
month.
