bed. Since then his physicians and
family recognized that the end was
near at hand. The dead Justice

time past with dropsicaI affection
that while medical skill and change
of climate seemed to relieve somewhat,
neither could offer any permanent
cure.

time of his death. Justice jackson

mentary resolution adopted by her
principal passengers on her first voy-
age, and signed among others by Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British am
baSSador at Washington, are to form
the subject of a question in parlla-
ment
Captain Donelan, an Irish nationalist
member, representing Queenstown, and
therefore interested in a rival route,
secretary for foreign affairs, that he
would ask him this question: Whether
the resolution signed by Sir Julian
Pauncefote asserts that the st. Louis
has demonstrated the Inauguration
under American auspices of new era
in the history of ocean traffic and
whether, in view of the fact that such
action upon the part Of the ambaS-
sador may be taken charge of to ad-
Vertise the line of a foreign company
against the British line ships which
have invariably proved their super
ioroity on both the outward and home
ward passages between this country
and New York, he will request Sir
Julian Pauncefote to substantiate the
statement contained in the resolution
or withdraw his signature from It.
Speaking to a correspondent Captain
Donelan said:
II am asked the question not out Of
any unfriendly feeling to any Ameri-
can company because it is American,
but simply in the interest Of the
Queenstown route and the companies
which still make Queenstown a port of
call despite the inducements held out
to them to change to Southampton.
The American line is sparing no effort
to discredit the Queenstown route,
and it is my duty TO guard its inter-
eStS"
