William Steele Holman would have
passed the three quarter century mark
had he lived until next September and
his career ia remarkable for the large
proportion of his life that was given up
to the service of the public. No living
man, and few men dead, have a record
as he did of 10 terms in the house of
representatives, and in ali 90 years Of
his life was spent in some public ca
pacity, beginning with a judicial posi-
ton in his native state and winding up
In the house of representatives which
he first entered in the Thirty fourth
congress. Mr.. Holman was great
force in political affairs for many years
and even of late when advancing age
made it harder for him to meet the
most severe demands Of his place, he
was an honored and respected coun-
sellor in the Democratic party caucusses,
where his ripe wisdom and long polit-
ical experience was freely awaited Of in
shaping party policies. AS the Watch
dog of the Treasury he was known to
the American people and the policy Of
strict economy that he consistently pur-
sued when in charge of the appropria-
ton bills has been followed so long that
it has come TO be regarded as one of the
party tenets in all the congresses.
Mr.. Holman was born in Indiana, in
the country, at q little pioneer home
stead in Dearborn county called Veres-
tau, Sept. o, 1922. AS he wrote his au-
photography for the congressional direc-
tory, 1t is recorded that he had COM
mon school education, supplemented by
q two years course in Franklin college,
Indiana. Then he taught school and
practiced law until 1913, when at the
age Of 81 years he entered the public
service as probate judge. He was pros
ecuting attorney from l847 to l849 and
in 1850 he attended the constitutional
convention. The following year he en-
tered the legislature and from 1859 to
1855 he was judge Of the common pleas
court.
His congressional career began with
the Thirty-sixth congress and out of the
20 congresses that have elapsed since
that time he has been absent from only
four, namely, the Thirty ninth, Forty
fifth, Forty sixth and Fifty-fourth, an
almost unparalleled record.
Personally Mr.. Holman was Of most
genial and approachable disposition. He
was entirely willing to listen to any
person who called for his assistance,
and although often obliged by his sense
of duty to resist the opportunities of
his colleagues in favor of some measure
of vital interest, he always did so in
such an impersonal manner as TO take
away largely the sting Of his refusal
In fact it was one of the strong points
Of Mr.. Holman that in his long con-
gressional career he refrained entirely
from personalities and consequently he
had few personal enemies.

TWO IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS.
Judge Day and BeIlamy storer of Ohio
Provided For.

Provided For.
WASHINGTON, April "a. - President
Mckinley has decided to nominate
William r. Day of Canton, o., to be
first assistant secretary of state, and ex-
Representative Bellamy Storer of Gin
cinnati to be minister to Belgium.
These nominations were to have been
sent TO the senate yesterday, but owing
to that body's adjournment over until
Monday, viii not go in until next week.
The filling of the Office of first assistant
to Secretary Sherman ends a vexatious
problem that has bothered the president
considerably. Mr.. Storer was slated
originally for this appointment, but the
nomination was opposed strenuously by
Senator Foraker, who protested against
it ON personal grounds.
Judge Day, who will be named TO
succeed Mr. Rockhill as first assistant
secretary of state, is said to be a fine
lawyer, and his name has been men
toned frequently for solicitor general.
He and the presi lent are on close terms
Of intimacy, and, at the personal re-
quest of the president, he recently be-
gan an inquiry into the facts as TO the
death Of DIR. kuiz, an American dentist,
in a Spanish prison, preliminary to a
visit to Cuba, where he was to attend
in a legal capacity the investigation by
the Spanish authorities of allegations
that DIR. Ruiz was murdered.
The selection Of Judge Day to be first
assistant secretary of state overturns
the plan of the president TO send him TO
Cuba. 1t would be without precedent
for such an official as the first assistant
secretary to go to another country to
prosecute case, when later ON he
might have to engage in diplomatio ne
gOtiations with that same country on
other subjects. At any rate. the con-
viction that the pursuit of the original
mission by Judge Day would impair his
usefulness in the future as an official Of
the state department, has led to the
cancellation of the order to 20 to Cuba
Whether any one win be appointed 70

grams to understand the exact position
of affairs.
Following the Greek defeat at Larissa,
London opinion is almost unanimous
that yhe end is in sight, and this view
is probably shared by the powers, as
they are already moving to intervene.
1t is believed that intervention will
first take the form of a suggestion of
armistice, to which the combatants
would no doubt agree. For the past "a
hours the British foreign office has been
in close communication, with the other
members of the European concert,
Great Britain suggesting that the time
has now arrived for them to act. The
French, German and Italian govern
ments have already responded, Offering
to agree, though the German govern
ment adds as a condition, that it will be
necessary TO enact pledge from Greece
to obey the mandate of Europe when
this mandate is again given.
The British foreign office believes
that Greece will give this pledge, as the
disasters which have overtaken her have
demonstrated that Turkey still possesses
a formidable fighting machine, fact
which must have SOLDERING effect upon
the popular demand for war at Athens,
and which will permit the Greek nation
to climb down without disgrace, after q
superb vindication of the personal cour-
age of the Greek troops and a crafty
ing demonstration of Hellenic patriot
ism.
If the Greeks listen to reason and ar
guments pressed at Athens and Russia
at Constanhnople, it is not improbable
that a decision i'll be reached early
