The criticisms of the administration S

dictate and the protest of the legislative
bran ohes of the government against any
more seoret trades of that sort seem to
have made an impression upon the Presi-
dent and Secretary Carlisle, for the last
issue of bonds is opened to general COM
petition, without minimum price be-
ing fixed even. 1t is to be hoped that the
response TO the Presidents call will be
general and that the prices offered will
be favorable If after this offer the gov
eminent shall be compelled. either for

prices, to appeal toa private syndicate,

that he and not Shea killed Robert Ross.

Death of samuel Williams.

James Trevennon, OF West Pine street
received a telegram Yesterday from bis
brother informing him OF the death OF
samuel Williams at a mining town IN the
mountains of Colorado Mr. Treven-
mons brother and the late Samuel Viii
lisms left here last April Go seek their for
tunes in the Colorado mining fields.
They were located at Telluride a small
mining city in the mountainous regions
OF Colorado, and had been working ia
the mines there. The dispatch did not
go into particulars, but simply asked
what should be done with the body. An
answer was sent directing that the re-
mains should be forwarded at once TO
this city for interment, and they will
probably not reach here until Sunday or
Monday, az they will have to bring the
body from the mountains to the nearest
railway station, and it takes five or six
days TO make the journey.
The late Mr.. Williams leaves a vile and
son here, who reside in Blue Jacket, and
another son IN New York city. A Mrs.
Barrett, of Hancock, is the only daugb-
ter living. The deceased was about 60
wears OF age. and came here abou two
years ago with his wife from Iron Noun
p tain, where they had resided for the Last
fourteen years, previous to which the
lamilyhad resided for years in this place.
The funeral services will probably be
held in the Calumet NJ. Il. church, nj
though no definite arrangements have
yet been made.
The deceased was member OF the To-
dependent Order Of Odd Fellows, and one
OF the first members of the Calumet lodge,
and that organization will probably
take charge OF the funeral arrangements.
Whsn he moved to Iron Mountain he
was transferred to the society there, and
has been identified with that society
since then.
