private secretary TO Gove.nor Lucas, when
he was 81 years of age. He studied law
with his uncle, Governor William Allen,
and was admitted to the bar in 1885. Ten
years later he went to congress as its
youngest member. He declined a renom-
til 1881 when, although only 3S years of
age, he became a member of the supreme
bench of Ohio. He was choi ell CHIEF jus.
tice, and from December, 1854. until Feb
ruary, 1856. served in this capacity. but at
the expiration of his term refused a renom-
ination. His opinions are considered to be
very logical. and are among the most valll-
able part of the Ohio repol Is.
He was defeated by EXPIRE s!dent Hayes
for governor of Ohio in 1867, reducing
Republican majority, however. from 49,
900 to 5000. He was elected to tine senate
to succeed r. f. Wade, and took bis seat
on March 4, 1869. He was president pro-
tempore during the illness of vice.Presi-
dent W Leeler. He was reelected in S74
and served until 1881. He was re-nomi-
mated by his party in 1856 for the senate,
but was defeated. In the senate he was
one of the most conspicuous members,
and is spoken of by Mr.. Blaine in his
Twenty Years in Congrss SIS. Mr.. Blaine
says of him: "Mr. Thurman's rank in the
senate was established from the day he
took his seat and was never lowered dur
ing the period of his service. He was an
admirably disciplined debater. was fair in
his methods, logical in his arguments and
honest in his conclusions. His retirement
from the senate was a loss to his party and
a loss indeed to that body"
Mr.. Thurman's name was mentioned in
1875 as a presidential candidate. and he
received many votes in the national con-
ventlon. Four years later he had the en-
tire Ohio delegation, and in 1884 was again
a prominent candidate. In 1888 he was
nominated for the vice-presidency on the
ticket with Grover Cleveland. Since that
time he has lived entiraIv in private life.

on the point. for when Mr.. Barrett's reso-
linton was disposed of the words ''by i'm
peachment or otherwise" were stricken
out. leaving a simple direction to the com
mittee to report to the house what action
should be taken in the premises. 1t is now
conceded by the Republicans that the rec
ommendation to impeach was not in
tended seriously, but merely a par
llamentary move to secure debate on
the ambassadors conduct. Mr.. Mccall
says that it would be unfair for the house
to assume that President Cleveland has
not suggested to the ambassador that his
speeches were improper, and II is unfair to
Mr.. Bsyard for the house to censure him
IL the president has done so already. This
view is taken by the prominent committee
men. In case the president should reply
that he has not communicated with the
ambassador, there is some sentiment that
the house should censure him, and
IL is suggested that this might
be done as separate resolution
or in connection with the appropriation
for the ambassadors salary when the dip
lomatic appropriate on bill ,mesbefore the
house. In case nothing is done before,
Mr.Call think that move 10 incorporate
censuriDg clause in the appropriation bill
will be made when the bill comes before
the house. While there are no conspicli-
ous precedents for the congressional CEN
sure OF a diplomatic repre- sentative, it is
saiu to he in order for the house to censure
such official or to asT the president to re-
call him.

Tributes of Political Opponents Governor nc-
kinley's Proclamation
COLUMNS, o., Dec. 12.-Upon learning
of the death of ex-senator Thurman this
afternoon, Governor Nc Kinley said:
'The death of Judge Thurman is deep
loss to Ohio and the nation. His long and
useful public career, characterized, as it
was, by nobility of purpose and purity of
character, endeared him to the hearts of
of the people. irrespective of party or poll
tics. His death removes one of the nations $
greatest statesmen and one of Ohio's great
est citizens, and we all mourn his loss as
we would that of a beloved FRIEND"
Governor Mckinley tonight issued the
following:
Ohio has lost one of lis noblest citizens.
Allen G. Thurman died at l o'clock today
at his home in the city of Columbus, at
the ripe age of 80. He was a statesman
whose sturdy and exalted abilities were
recognized not only in his own state, but
in every part of the United States, AS
Judge of the supreme court of the state he
was a learned and incorruptible interpreter
of the law; as United States senator, he
faithfully and with exceptional honor rep
resented this state in the United States
senate. He was distinguished party
leader and stood in the front rank with the
great men who were his contemporaries.
After being the recipient of many honors
at the hands of his party and his country
men, he retired to private life, With.
the universal respect and esteem of
the citizens of the republic and the
love of all who had the honor of know.
ing him. His illustrious career is con-
spicuous example of the possibilities of
American citizens. and is worthy the study
of the youth of our state. The people of
Ohio, regardless of party, will be mourners
at his bier. Out of respect to his memory
il is hereby ordered that the flag be dis
played at half mast over the state capitol
until after the obsequies.

Seattle Merchants Reaching Out for
the Sugar Trade
The Hawaiian Government Relieved Of
Anxiety Regarding Damages Claimed
by Citizen Named G,dfrey

SAN Francisco, Dec. 12.-The steamship
City of Pekin arrived tonight from Yoko-
hama and Honolulu. bringing the follow
ing advices to the Associated Press, under
date of December g.:
The merchants of Seattle, WASH, have
made an offer to the Hawaiian planters
they are willing to furnish site for a
sugar refinery; remit state and county
taxes for a term of ten years and offer
other inducements. The idea is to ship
raw sugar to Seattle and refine it there
the vessels would return with merchandise
or freight. If the offer Is accepted it will
be severe blow to San Francisco, which
now virtually controls the Hawaiian
trade. .t
No definite news has been received from
j. b. Atherton, j. M. Cook and H. P. Bald.
win, the committee sent by the Hawaiian
planters to make new agreement with
the sugar trust. According to the present
contract, the trust brings the entire sugar
crop of the Hawaiian Islands at the price
prevailing in New York, with certain COM
missions added. Unless the planters gain
their point an acceptance of Seattle's Of
fer is within the range of possibilities.
Minister Willis has informed this gov
ernment that the United States will not
take action on a claim of $4,000 dam
ages made by one Frank Godfrey to the
American secretary of state. Godfrey's 8
communication for damages contained
two complaints, one being that he was de-
tained at the cholera hospital twenty-four
hours longer than the period generally OBJ
served. The second is claim that in Sep
tember last he was attacked by masked
men and tarred and feathered by them.
Affidavits sustained the second charge.
The Hawaiian government was informed
by Minister Willis that the first charge
made by Godfrey was not sent to WASH
ington, having been dLopped here. So far
as the second charge is concerned, the
American government made reply that it
was matter solely for the local courts to
act upon, and that the complaint would
not be given recognition at Washington.
No mention was made of citizenship, but
it is believed that the American govern
ment is cognizant of the fact that Godfrey
has subscribed to the oath of allegiance to
the republic and is a qualified voter under
itS laws.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-THE COM
plant is now being prepared by NouHles
q Boone in a lawsuit which promises most
interesting developments when it is
brought to trial in the United States cir
cult court. The law firm will bring the
suit in behalf of certain stockholders of
the Los Angeles Consolidated Electric rail
way to declare void the recent sale of the
road to the bondholders and for an ac
counting.
The affairs of the Los Angeles road were
brought before the public some time ago
during the excitement over the failure of
the Pacific bank and the trial of X. Il.
Mcdonald. The bank was heavily inter-
es:ed in the Los Angeles Street Railway
company and the railroad stock was
counted as part of the assets of the
detunct institution. AT that time the i.f-
fairs OF the electric road were in such a
condition that the stock was some distance
below par. 1t was said that the road was
losing money, and that there was no I'M
mediate prospect for its success. Some
months ago the bondholders formed a
combination by which they secured ma
jlrity of the stock and the absolute control
OF the property. In effect sale of the en-
tlre plaIll was fnaue. VI Ii. sherman was
installed as president of the company with
the announced understanding that he
would represent the stockholders.
The road is now said to be on a paying
basis. and some of the stockholders COM
plain that they we're deprived of their
property rights in an illegal and most ur-
warranted manner. The charges in the
complaint are severe and direct and allege
that the so-called sale OF the road was in
fact nothing less than an appropriation of
the prODerfy

sentiment, all who desire will be given an

his eighty-ninth birthday, will preach the
sermon. 1t was Judge Thurman's request
that if Rev. MIR. Grover was living and in
good health the latter should preach the
sermon at his funeral. Mr.. Grover is at
present city librarian, a position he has
held for twenty years, and he is still a very
active man.

In Secret Session to Discuss The Laws They
Need
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-THE executive
committee of the California Miners asso-
citation has been in secret session in this
city for the last few days. Jacob II. Neff
has presided.
The meeting was called for the purpose
OF deciding upon the best kind of law for
congress to pass for the protection of min
eral lands of the state.
The miners want a law similar to the
daho-Montana act passed at the last con-
gress, but the Southern Pacific does not
want such a law and has submitted through
Attorney Singer bill which he says the
Southern Pacific will help the miners to
have passed, but the miners don't look
at it that way and say that they
will have nothing to do with the Singer
law, which would permit the railroad to
class as agricultural lands what are really
mineral lands in character. The miners
want congress practically to make the Ida
ho-Montana law applicable 10 California.

planned, that the country was de-
prived of 100000 quarters OF

ers were thrown out of work, which, in
Guiding their families, showed that 100.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE Turkish le-
cation has received the following cable
gram from the sublime porte, under today's
date:
1.-THE Armeniaps of Kalb (Bitlis) bad
pretended that their belongings were taken
away during the various disorders by the
Mussulmans. The imperial authorities
ordered an investigation, which established
the falsity of this assertion, as well as the
fact that these very Armenians had left to
the care of their Mussulman neighbors all
they possessed. The latter have since re-
stored this goods to their owners. The dis
orders OF last month, it is clearly shown,
never had general character, as neither
the Greeks nor the Armenian Catholics
had reason to suffer from the Mussulmans,
whose only object was to take revenge on
the planned aggressions OF the Armenian
rioters"
