MEAGER DETAILS.
QUEBEC. July 16.-It appears that the
people who accompanied Ex-Governor
Russell were his brother and F. S. Pea
body from Boston. Their camp was near
the Little Pabos river, where they had
been fishing all day, when the ex-gov-
ernor seemed in the very best of health.
The tent in which they slept was divided
into two compartments, and as the ex-
governor slept in one the others did not
know he was dead until late this morn
ing, when they thought it was time to
wake him. The coroner has been noti-
fed. but has not yet arrived
THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
BOSTON, July 16-The first news of
Ex-Governor Russell's death was re-
ceived with incredulity on the streets
Of this city. Even members Of the law
firm with which he was associated re-
fused to look seriously upon the matter
of the ex-governor's death. It was not
until after the press wires had been busy
for some time that verification Of the
news was obtained. Tho most that could
be learned here until late this afternoon
was contained in the following telegram
to Mr.. Joseph B. Russell. brother of the
ex-governor. and signed by Colonel Har-
ry T. Russell:
"Will found dead in bed this morning,
death painless. probably heart disease.
Start for Boston at once"
Mr.. Russell was in Canada by invita-
ton of Mr.. r. F. Dutton Of Boston for
the purpose of rest.

BUZZARDS' BAY. Mass, July 16.-
President Cleveland keenly feels the
death Of Hon. William E. Russell He
received message announcing the sad
event from a friend in Boston on his re-
turn from his fishing trip this afternoon.
Tonight he expressed his sorrow in the
following tribute:
My personal relations were so inti-
mate and close with Ex-Governor Rus
sell that I can be but terribly shocked
at the news of his sudden death, which
received today. While this intelligence
has caused me to mourn the personal
loss, cannot forget Mr.. RusselPs emf
nent public services and his attributes
of bravery and patriotism which made
him so valuable a citizen, especially at
this time when a courageous adherent
to the rights and unfaltering advocacy
of sound principles are so much needed.
1t may, therefore, we'll be said that
the country has suffered bereavement.
The people Of Massachusetts surely can
not fail to mourn throughout the length
ana breadth of the commonwealth the
untimely end Of son whose career has
at all times reflected honor upon his ma

Marion Winters, a negro and an AL

and booked at the police station. on

some friends of his named Jones, who
reside at 461 Ducommon street, leaving
Wnen they went out to go uptown to do
a little Christmas shopping.
On their way home Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
saw Winters coming from the direction
OF their house, and when they arrived
at the place, they discovered that their
room had been entered through a win
dow, bureau drawer had been forced
open and two dress skirts, waist and
a pair of lace pillow shams had been
stolen. They Immediately came to head
quarters and reported the loss to De-
tective Steele.
He found where the stolen property
had been sold to two Mexican crib wo-
men and recovered all of it, but Win
ters kept out of sight A description Of
him was read to the night watch when

bring him in. Jones was also on the
lookout for him, and seeing the fellow
go into one of the cribs on Alameda

approached the place Winters came out
and, taking in the situation made a
break for liberty. After run of several
blocks, he was overhauled and sent in.
Today complaint will be sworn out

he will probably be arraigned in court.
The detective has clear case against
him, as besides the Identification of the

TO BE A STUBBORN FIGHT
The California Delegation Stands Firm
Against Railroad Forces
Attorney General Harmon VIII Begin
Foreclosure Proceedings If the Bill
Fails-Gear's Cunning Scheme.

A Washington dispatch to the San
Francisco Examiner dated December
u, says:
Senator White arrived late last night
and has busted himself today with ref
erence to funding bill matters
The senator says that it is impossible
for him to express an opinion as to the
fate of the funding bill before congress.
He had, al conference with Senator Nor
gan today, and it was agreed that the
whole subject would be carefully re-
viewed and plan of action agreed upon.
They will have further conference.
1t is probable that the opponents of
the funding bill in the senate will watch
the proceedings Of the house with great
care. 1t is the general opinion that the
bill will be pressed in the house first,
and the course of proceedings there will
be utilized for the purpose of controll-
ing the attitude of the opponents of the
bill in the senate. White says that he
has no doubt that the entire California
delegation will regard this question as
outside of politics and will acquiesce in
the declared verdict of the people at the
late election. 1t is impossible, said
White, that any member of the delega-
tion will ignore the plainly announced
sentiment of the people of California as
evinced at the recent election. No one
caring for his future, either political
or personal, according to White, will
care to take the responsibility which
would follow reputation of this ver-
dict
IT WILL BE A HARD FIGHT
Much has been said with reference 70
the ability of the senatorial opponents
of the funding bill and the defeat of the
measure there. While the senate rules
are ample to permit filibustering, it is
difficult, If not impossible. to carry on
successful minority opposition without
at least one-f1fth Of the total body en-
Enthusiastically cooperating in various
stages of the impeding process. This,
at least, is the opinion of Senator White
He is not absolutely certain that the
senate will furnish this number. Three
or four, or even a dozen senators. he
states, cannot long maintain success
full obstruction policy. The election Of
Phelan as mayor of San Francisco and
the defeat of Grove Johnson are regard
ed by White as powerful adjuncts to
the anti-funding bill program.
Attorney General Harmon came to the
senate today in quest of Senator Brice,
but, falling to find the object of his
search, he met Senator White, with
whom he engaged in conversation, AMI
remarked that If congress failed to take
steps to settle the various matters in
volved in the funding bill, he would at
tempt to proceed under the existing laws
The herald., 1896-12-24

to close up the affair. He expressed the
hope that congress would act promptly
so that he might know the exact situa-
ton, and declared that he was willing to
enforce the law in protection of the gov
ernments interests If congress declined
to allow the railroad corporations other
avenues of settlement.
WHITES HOPE.
Senator White was asked by the at
torney general as to his opinion regard
ing the funding bill. and he expressed
unequivocally his opposition to it, say
Ing that he hoped the department of JUS
tice would be called upon to enforce the
law as 1t stands.
1t Is understood that in his conversa-
ton with Attorney General Harmon
Senator White alluded to the suits re-
Gently submitted involving the validity
of the Southern Pacific land grants, and
expressing the hope that bona fide set
tiers would be protected. While General
Harmon did not express himself def
nitely. it was very evident that his con-
struction of the acts of congress protect
ing bona fide settlers will be favorable
to those who have paid money for lands
under patents issued by the interior de-
partment.
