WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 Senator But.

ehis afternoon. Five members of the
executive committee are here, the
others having sent letters of excuse.
1t was decided even before the execu-

headquarters should be here and it is
probable that rooms in Wormley's adj

GAIL HAMILTON is DEAD
Stricken by Paralysis, She Did Not Recover

Consciousness.
HAMILTON, Mass, Aug. io.-Abigail
Dodge, better known as Gail Hamil-
ton, the writer, who has been i'll at
her home here for some time, died
last night. Mics Dodge sustained a
stroke of paralysis while sitting at
the breakfast table yesterday morn
ing. She became unconscious and
remained SO until her death.
Miss Mary Abigail Dodge, writer,
biographer and controversiallst,
widely known under the pen name
as Gail Hamilton, was a native of the
town in which she died, having been
born in 1880. At the e of 10 years
she went to Dr.. Clark's private school
in Cambridge. She was graduated
from Ipswich academy at the age of
20. In 1851, she went to Harvard as
assistant in the Hartford high school.
She refused to take the customary ex-
animation, but was given the position
without doing so. She was also in
structor in physical science in this
school for several years, and was su b.
sequently governess in the family of
DR. Gamaliel Bailey Of Washington,
ID. G., the editor of the National Era,
to which paper she became a con-
triDutor.
In 1867, she was one of the editors
of Our Young Folks, a magazine for
children, published in Boston. From
1870 until a little over u year ago she
lad lived most Of the time with her
cousin, Mrs. James G. Blaine, in
Washington. In the course Of this
daily contact with the Blaine family,
Miss Dodge was led into a very close
friendship with MIR. Blaine and at the
death of the latter, she became his
literary executor, being in possession
Of all his papers aud documents Of
value to her as his authorized biogra-
pher. She was engaged, as frequently
rs her health would permit, on Mr..
Blaine's biography from the time Of
his death until her illness of last year
and it is thought her untiring devo-
ton 80 the work was instrumental in
bringing about that prostration.
Gail Hamilton was a frequent con-
tributor to prominent magazines, and
her published works, written in a
witty and aggressive style, consist
largely Of selections from her con-
tributions.
Miss Dodge's one novel, 'First Love
Is Best" had not the success which
attended some of her other works.
During recent years she engaged in
political writing, and many famous
review articles and political .inter-
views" have been accredited to her
which have reused much warm dis
cussion and have exerted more or less
influence upon national politics.

SENATORS CLARK AND WARREN
AND REPRESENTATIVE MON
DELL INDICATED.

The following is an editorial from
the Salt Lake Tribune. We copy it in
full:
Senator Dubois, in an interview
elsewhere in this paper, pronounces
emphatically against the Dingley bill
and intimates that the silver senators
whl be able to keep it out Of consider
alton. He says the bill is such a one
as nobody wants. and that it ought to
fail. But we suggest to the senate
that revenue is needed; in default of it.
more bonds will certainly be issued,
and no silver man a that. The
Dingley bill in the form it was pushed
Last winter, was not a good bill, as was
thoroughly shown at the time, but it
could be amended and made a FOOD bill.
and this is what ought to be done, and
b silver senators should aid in that
work. In our judgment, for the silver
men to persist in the defeat of a needed
revenue measure would be poor patriot,
ism and worse politics.
Senator Dubois says the silver men
bold the balance of power in the senate
which is true; If they had voted for the
consideration of the Dingley bill last
winter 1t would have beer taken I'D,
They didn't do SO, wishing to press the
silver issue on the country, which they
did by their action, and we supported
them in 1t, and SO did their people, with
a unanimity rarely seen. But the coun-
try needs revenue and is obliged to
have 1t. The silver balance of power"
can make the revenue legislation what
they want it in the senate, for while
the silver republican senators are for
silver, they are also for protection, and
can shape the legislation on that model.
II they fail to do this, their opposition
will be the factor that will be held re-
sponsible by the country for the threat
ened issue Of bonds to pay the deficit
IN current expenses, and it will not
come with good grace from these sem
ators or their supporters to complain
OF an issue of bonds for which their &C.
tons will have paved the way, which,
In default of more revenue, will be
urged as absolutely necessary. This Is
a responsibility to which the silver
senators must give very serious con-
sideration.
There is another thing: We have
always insisted that tariff legislation
alone would not cure the evils from
which the country is and has been sui
fering. The sooner, therefore, that pro.
lection has a complete and unhampered
trial. the better. We would IN the
