Boston, July 1.-THE news Of Gov.
Russells death caused general surprise
in this city, and, in fact, throughout the
state. On all sides flags were put at
half mast, and the daily newspapers
printed the brief announcement of his
death and the long obituaries and trib-
utes in turned column rules. Mayor
Quincy has called special meeting of
the city government for to-day to take
action on the governors death, and Act
ing Gov. Wolcott will issue proclama-
ton.
Sketch of His Life.
Hon. William Eustis Russell was born IN
Cambridge, Mass, in 1857. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools and in Harvard
college, where he graduated in 1877 He
then began the STUDY of law under his IA
TIERS direction and took a course Of three
years in the Boston university law school.
He was admitted to the Suffolk bar in the
AprS term of $780,
Mr.. Russell was only IS years old, when, in
1885, he was elected mayor of his native
city, having already served as council
man and alderman. In 1888 he was nomi-
mated for governor. but was defeated by
Ames. It was in this year tina. Mr.. Rus
sell gave evidence of his gifts as stump
speaker. He worked and talked incessant-
ly, going about from one place to another
He was renominated for governor in 1889.
This time his competitor was Gov. Brack-
EFT. Mr.. Russell at the head of a vigor-
Gus campaign, reduced the plurality of his
opponent from $4,000 to SITS. Next year, on
his third trial. he was elected by plural
lty of 5000
In his inaugural message he suggested
many reforms in state management, but
few Of them became operative, owing to a
hostile legislature and q hostile council.
Russell was reelected governor Of his
state twice. He retired at the end of
his third term to resume the practice of
law.
Russells name was mentioned by his ad-
mirers in New England as one which would
look well at the head Of the democratic
national ticket. At the Jefferson celebra-
ton in Monticello, early in this year, the
ex-governor made a strong declaration in
favor of honest money. He was associated
with Senator Hill and ex-Secretary Whit
ney in the contest over the platform a;

SEVENTEEN DEAD.

That Number Represents the Known Vic
Tins of the Cleveland Disaster.
Cleveland, O., July 1.-THE most APP
palling disaster which has occurred in
Cleveland, except the viaduct horror last
winter, when loaded street car
plunged 100 feet into the river, oc-
Cured Thursday night at eight o'clock.
While fat-Dottomed ferry boat, load
ed with between 40 and so laborers,
was crossing the old river channel, it
was capsized and all the men thrown
into the channel, and between Is and
20 drowned, IA bodies shaving already
been taken from the water.
The accident was due to a panic
among the men on board. The boat
was loaded so that the gunwale was
only three inches above the water, and
{. passing tug made waves which came
into the boat. At once there was u rush
to the other side, and the boat went
under and spilled the men. They were
all members of gang of ore handlers,
and were coming to their homes.
The scene in the river, as described
by the men on the tug and the steamer
"A1SA "SAO passing, was OhC
of wild struggle for life. Men grappled
each other and went down in the fierce
embrace. Lines and life preservers
we're thrown from both vessels
and many were pulled aboard. Others
Of the unfortunates were rescued by
small boats and some swan ashore.
The life-saving crew was summoned
and the work of searching for bodies
at once began.
Cleveland, O., July 1S.-All Friday
the work of dragging the river bed at
the scene of Thursday nights disaster
was continued. The coroner has been
diligently inquiring and is certain that
several bodies are still in the river. AS
near as can be determined ten men are
missing. The regular employees of the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh ore dock are
oil accounted for, either drowned or at
home. The uncertainty arises from the
fact that large numbers of extra men
are hired each day, paid by the day and
SC no record of their names kept. Seven
teen bodies have been recovered.

HERE is clear definition of
free coinage at IS to I, recently
published in the Minneapolis
Journal: "A silver dollar weighs
about IS times as much as gold
dollar. When the ratio was es-
tablished for the coinage of gold
and silver it approximately rep
resented the market value of the
two metals. An ounce of gold
was worth about sixteen times as
much as an ounce of silver. Un-
der our law, whoever owns gold
bullion can take it to the mint
and have it made into coin with
out any cost to him. That is
free coinage of gold. The gold
thus coined is worth dollar, ir-
respective of the stamp all over
the world. The silver men de-
maud that we shall do the same
thing for silver, without any
change of ratio-that is to say
that every owner of silver bullion
shall be permitted to take it to
the mint and have every fifty
seven cents worth of it stamped
as dollar, though it would be
worth only its bullion value-fif-
ty-seven cents-outside the Unit
ed states. That is what free COIN
age at sixteen to one means"
The Dickinson press., 1896-07-25

ONE of those 16 to free sill
yer coinage men succeeded in
making a good deal of noise in
the Grand Forks convention, con-
tending that the sentiment of the
people had changed since the
Fargo convention and that a free
silver resolution would be accept
able to great majority. A poll
of the convention was demanded
with this result: Cass county I
vote for free silver, Grand Forks
II, Ramsey $, Ward I, total 18;
against free silver, 465. The
PRESS is pleased to note that ev-
cry county on the slope voted
solidly against the free silver
proposition. This ought to satisfy
Senator Hansbrough that North
Dakota does not want free silver.

The state convention finished
its work Wednesday night, and
to the great majority of the con-
servative republicans of North
Dakota the nominations are most
satisfactory. The Grand Forks
Herald puts it very fairly in the
following words: It was splen-
didly representative body of ear
nest and determined republicans.
which adopted a straight republi-
can platform that can have no SUI
perior in any state in the Union,
and placed thereon as strong a
ticket as the state has ever seen.
The platform is in complete har-
mony with the national organiza-
tion in every respect, and the
planks of especial local import
are admirable and must commend
themselves favorably to every
thinking North Dakota citizen
and taxpayer. The ticket is ex.
cellent at all points and as fairly
distributed geographically as
could have been expected
There are no more sore spots ir
disappointed localities than are
usual, and none that should no,
quickly and effectually heal
The disappointment at the fate
of Grand Forks county is very
sharp here. but Grand Forks re
publicans are republicans ane
will recognize and follow thei
duty of unhesitating and earnes
allegiance to the ticket and plat
form named and enunciated b,
their party in state convention
assembled"
