London, May 2s,-The Earl of KIM
beriy. secretary OF state for foreign ar
fairs, has sent to President Cleveland
an expression OF his very great regret
at the death Of Mr. Gresham.
Many Americans called at the United
States embassy and at the United States
consulate today, leaving their cards
with expressions Of sympathy with tho
family OF Mr.. Gresham in their be-
reavement.
The flags OF the United States en-
bassy and the United States consulate
were half masted, and so were the
flags on American exchanges as well as
upon several other buildings. Among
those who called upon the United
States officials today were Messrs.
Bourlle Cochran and Josh Manlcy and
Congressman Apsley and Mccall OF
Massachusetts. The latter seconded
Mr.. Gresham's nomination for the
presidency IN 1893. The general opln-
ion expressed among American poll
tlcians here Is that Postmaster Gem
eral william l.. Wilson OF West Nlr-
ginla win succeed Mr.. Gresham.

Washington, May 2S.-The procedure
in the case of Secretary Windows
death. which Will be followed In the
arrangements for Secretary Gresham's
funeral, is indicated In the following
order, dated January 81, 1891, and Is
sued by President Harrison;
IAN the departments of the execu-
tive branch OF the government and the
officers subordinate thereto shall mani
fest due respect TO the memory OF this
eminent citizen In n manner consonant
with the dignity OF the office which he
has honored by his devotion to public
duty. That the treasury department.,
In all its branches in this capital, be
drnped In mourning for the period OF
thirty days. that on the day OF the
funeral the several executive depart
ments shall be closed and that CO all
public buildings throughout the United
States the national nag shall DO dis
played at half mast"
While 1t Is at present the intention
TO follow the precedent set IN the Win
dom case, there must be one important
departure, and that is the omission
OF all signs Of mourning with which
the great executive department build
ings We're draped for thirty days, In
the legislative and judicial appropria-
ton act, approved March 3. 1893, CON
gress provided that hereafter no pub
lie building owned or used for public
purposes by the government OF the
United States shall be draped in
mourning, and no part of the public
funds shall be used for such purposes. -
Two years before this the act Rp-
proved February @, 1891. congress had
also changed the law affecting the
succession TO such un office as Is now
vacated by the death OF Secretary
Gresham so as TO read
"a vacancy occasioned by death or
resignation must not be temporarily
filed Cunder the three preceding sec
tions) for u longer period than thirty
days"
The old law had limited the duration
OF a temporary appointment IN such
cases to ten days, but the president
may now designate MIR. Uni 10 act for
thirty days almost. In fact. that 81
just what President Harrison did after
Secretary Blalne's resignation, for Mr..
Wharton acted under his designation
as secretary OF state for the full legal
period, and Secretary Foster was not
appointed untll the last of the thirty
days.
