A Sad Death.


One Of the saddest deaths that we
have been called upon to chronicle for
a long time was that of Thomas Cowan
James, son of Mr.. T. C. James, of this
city, a brief announcement of which
appeared in our paper yesterday. He
was a youth Of promise,
studious, intelligent and remarkably
we'll read for n of his age. He de-
lighted in books, and while Others Of
his age were indulging in the outdoor
sports incident to boyish life, he pre-
ferred the quiet Of his home and the
companionship Of some favorite au-
thor.
He had noble qualities and was a
very lovable character. He was truth
ful, aimable n always ready to oblige
any who might need his services and
was gifted with far more than ordinary
intelligence and would doubles have
made a name for himself in the repub-
lie of letters had he lived to manhood.
A crushing blow a fallen upon his
family and friends, and the sympathy
of the community goes put to them in
full s under this unexpected and
agonizing affection. The ways of prov
idence are too mysterious for mortal
ken to fathom, but we know that he
doeth all things WELL" and with the
afiiction will give strength to comfort
and sustain. He along can give peace
to the troubled soul

New York WORLDLY

Washington. March 9.-Secretary
Sherman cabled TO Consul General Lee
today that every reasonable demand
or request he may maxi of the Spanish
authorities in Cuba will be supported
by all the power of the United States
government.
The first dispatch received by the
new secretary Of state from Genera
Lee, outside Of the ordinary routine,
came yesterday. It was brief and SIM
pie, asking what he could expect in
the way of being relieved from further
service at Havana, and calling arten-
ton to a desire heretofore expressed
that he might be permitted to return
home.
Secretary Sherman took the dispatch
to the executive mansion afterwards,
and cabled to General Lee requesting
him to continue at his post. explaining
hat no ore has been selected as his
successor, n ii wou be i~nconven-
lent to consider that matter for some
time. He was assured of fair treatment
by the new administration, and told
that his remaining as consul general
would be regarded by the president as
a personal vor.
General Lee cabled today that he had
found it not only difficult, blu at times
impossible, to furnish American citi-
Zens that degree of protection to which
he felt them entitled. He has often
been Inundated in the attempted dis
charge of his duties. AS now situated
he cannot obtain such recognition as
he desires from the Spanish authori-
ties, and thus his usefulness is impair
ed. He suggested hat a United States
