CHAS A. DANA DEAD.
The Veteran Editor Passed Away at
His Long Island Home.

New York, Oct. l9.-Charles A.
Dana, editor OF the New York Sun,
died at 1890 this afternoon, at Glen
cove, Long Island.
Mr. Dana's death had been expected
for several hours, and his family and
physicians all sat at his bedside when
the end came. His condition had been
such for several hours that members. of
his family had kept themselves in con-
slant readiness to go to his bedside at
any moment. On Saturday morning he
had relapse, and it was apparent that
recovery was impossible. Several times,
however, he rallied, but toward night
began to sink During the night there
were feeble rallies, but they did not last
long. This morning it was seen that
the end was but few hours off. and
his attendants remained almost con-
stantly at his bedside. The end came
quickly.
The extreme heat OF Friday and Sat.
urday had much to do with Fastening
his death. On Friday, Mr.. Dana
showed signs ofdistress, and everything
I
had been weakened by his long illness,
and during the summer was several
times thought to be on the verge of
fatal collapse. but each time rallied.
He did not improve much with the
coming cool weather, and the sinking
spells became more frequent. On Fri.
day, Mr.. Dana was able to take only
the lightest nourishment, and this con.
dition continued.
Paul Dana and his sisters, Mrs. Ora
per, Mrs Underhill and Mrs. Brannan
We're at his home on Saturday morning,
and were warned to remain there. They
were at the bedside when death came.
The cause of Mr.. Dana's death was
cirrhosis of the liver. On June he
was at his office, apparently strong and
healthy. The next day he was taken
i'll. and never afterwards visited New
York. He was IS years old.
Preparations for the burial have not
yet been completed.

TIE RUSH TO THE NOn' ~
~.,r,v q. 900 Men started for the 10"
dixie in Two Months

Tacoma. Oct. l9.-The railroad com
,anies have for the past month hau
man at work compiling statistics OF the
,moupt of business done between the
sound and Alaska during the rush IN
cident to the gold excitement Ao
cord;pe to these figures, which nave
been very carefully gathered ana VEN
fed. 124S persons took passage ioi
St. Michaels, and 1923 went to "ran'
Gel Juneau, Skaguay and Dyea, be-
tween July Il and Septem Der J..
During this same period, $4,000 tons
oi freight were shipped to St Michaels.
and about "a, 900 tons to the tour ABOVE
named lower ports. This lhciude'
business done at British Columbian
ports,
In addition to the large passenger
and freight list, $500 mules ana
horses were shipped north. 1,ll6 head
of beef and other cattle, as well as over
1000 dogs. The report closes with a
note. which says: Sin the above figures
nothing is included iro n outside the
Sound district. Probably, ii Portland
and San Francisco freight and passen-
GERS were included, it would nearly
double the already almost incredible
iiyures-oi 36, 900 tons OF freight ana
S.S76 passengers moved to the north
inside of two months
OF the passengers that have returned,
the report says:
"Tbe number cannot so far be ascer-
tanned, as many have gone to Portland
and san Francisco direct, but fair es-
innate of the number that will reach
their final destination this winter is as
follows: OF the 1900 who embarked
for ST. Michaeis, not more than 4Oo
could possibly reach the diggings by
way of the river, with the limited
means of transportation then on the
river. About 800 will be scattered
along the river banks to a point 200
miles or so from the mouth. The re
mainder will either winter at st. MI
chaels or return on the boats now at
that port. OF the 5000 that took pas
sage for lower ports, not to exceed 81
500 have succeeded in getting away
from the lakes, and about 20 per cent
of this mum Der will fail to reach the
Klondike diggings by reason of mshaps
on the rivers and frost o,ertaking
them.
so far, over 1000 persons have re-
turned to the Sound. and Il conservative
estimate think would be that fully
as many more will reach the Sound
by the middle of November: OF which
number, unfortunately Is per cent will
be fiat broke.
"As several thousand tons of provi.
sions got up the river, and as there
was reasonably fair supply for the
wants of the miners before the present
excitement, l see no reason why we
should look for any famine, as, accord
ing to the figures of my report, not tc
exceed $500 new miners will reach
the diggings this year, and 50 per cen,
of these will have provisions enough
to last them for six or nine months al
least. So, what with the provisions
from Portland and San Francisco,
think the stories told about minerl
starving are not founded on fact"

THE ClSNEROS RECEPTION.
New Workers Yelled Themselves HOarse
Over the Cuban Girl.


New York, Oct l9.-The popular
reception in Madison square tonight
was an extraordinary demonstration.
Fully $4,000 persons, nearly One-third
Of them well-dresse,; women, crowded
the upper half of Madison Square Park
and filled Broadway for the congratu-
latOary speeches to be finished, and the
Cuban heroine to appear on the stand
erected south Of the Worth monument.
Miss Cossio Cisneros' appearance
was the signal for a tremendous dem.
onstration by the great crowd which
stretched out for 100 Yards before her.
The men yelled and waved their hats;
the women waved their handkerchiefs,
and the band played Cuban battle
song.
With a boquet in her right hand and
a pleased but diffident expression on
her face, Miss Cisneros bowed to her
audience, for hers it was, and then
turned to Mr.. Decker, indicating that
she wanted him to understand that
the applause was as much for him as
for her. For some moments the two
stood forth while the cheering con-
tnuel. Then Miss Cisneros was led
back to the rear platform, where she
bowed and smiled to the crowd on that
side OF the platform. Then she de-
scended the steps to the carriage,
which was driven around the square
and back to Delmonico's.
Previous to the appearance of Miss
Cisneros on the platform, there were a
number of short speeches, interspersed
with selections by the band. Senator
Thurston and Henry George were
among the speakers.

ENGLAND MUST TAKE THE LEAO.
Arbitration Matter viii Not otherwise

BE Revived.
New York. Oct. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Unless the British foreign office presses
the negotiations in connection win
general arbitration treaty the matter
will not again be taken up by TINS gov
eminent, Neither the administrator
nor the British foreign office has DUR
ing the last three months shown any
disposition to expedite matters. De-
partment officials declare that Great
Britain must be the one to revive the
subject if it is to be revived at all.
cabinet official says the president Is
still DESTROYS of securing treaty q
arbitration with Great Britain. MIR.
MCKINLEY hoped that more interest
would be taken by Great Britain than
heretofore.
The authorities are apparently much
chagrined over England's action In the
Behring sea matter, in which all the
interested powers were to participate.
Had the general arbitration treaty ne
potiated by the Cleveland adminlstra-
ton been approved the controversy IN
regard to seals could properly be con-
sidered by such tribunal as proposed
by that convention.
Lord Salisbury would also be pleased
to have the treaty in force, for then he
could permit the sealing question to
be arbitrated and put out to Canada
that she was bound by the convention
to take such action. Now, however,
the negotiation of general arbitration
treaty might be considered by Cana
dams as indicative of desire OF the
Salisbury government to play into the
hands of the United States.

State of Manhattan.

It is said that Tammany influences are at work to divide New York into two states, by cutting off about sixteen coun- ties from the lower part of the state and organizing them into a new commos- wealth called Manhattan, With Greater New York for it's capital The movement will find some advocates outside of Tam many, but the republicans who control northern and western New York will doubtless be against it.
 For many years there has been a grow ing feeling between the big city and many of the outside counties. It is charged that the country members of the legislature always vote against the city s interests, and many good citizens b. Eeve that in view of such an unfnendly feel ing it would be better for the metropolis to enjoy statehood with a few of the neghboring counties.
 At this dis ance it is not easy to pass judgment upon the matter, but, generally speaking, it may be said that there are already too many small states in the union. For instance,ft is ridiculous 10 have a state as small as Rhode Island or Delaware Texas is immense. but not too large for state. It was an outrage to divide Virginia in war times. The Old Dominion should never have been forced to part with any of her territory.
 Government in this country would be slmplified if there were fewer states and fewer senators and representatives in congress. Matters would be further inn proved if the states had fewer counties and smaller legislative bodies. It is to be feared that the craze for office will, if it Is not checked, result in too many sub- divisions of government and a congress and state legislature crowded with the representatives of insignificant districts
The age-herald., 1897-11-21

TEance include a fn7 nee mlElster. one for agriculture and one for commerce, industry and posts and telegraphs. Tie twelve ministers of the Prussdan govern meEt include a minister of commerce. and the mater is also cared for in one Of the impegial depa artmen.s. The eleven cabinet officers of Italy also include ore devoted to commerce, industry and agrl- culture. No great nation excepting the United States loads it's finance minister with any other work than that of the finances. There is a decided need of re- form in that direction in our government.
 The idea will win favor. Other nat.ons have such departments, wish one or more ministers to look after these spse.al mat teis, and there are good reasons why this country should follow heir example. At present several departments attempt ito look after our business and industrial interests but they much knock their heads together and complicate matters. The bureau of statistics and the bureau of American republics should be ineluds in the new department of commerce and industry, because they can be made to aid in the extension of trade and the de- velopment of manufacturing.
 Undoubtedly, the proposed department is at least as necessary as the depart ment of agriculture. which is becoming more useful every year.

An lnteresilnu Suit.

The Baltimore Sun thus calls attention to a lynohlng suit in Maryland:
 The suit against the sheriff of Charles county and the surety on his bond by the children of man who was lyTched is a n w and interesting development. Joseph Cooking a Charles county mr- chant. had been indicted for the murder of n 8 wife and h.s w.fes sister. He was arrested and putt into the jail of Balti- nor city. Later on he was returned to Charles county for trfal. and when the case came up at La Plata it was renov- ed to the circuit court of St Mary's s county fsr trial. DIr.ng this time the 1Escrier was in the keeping of the sf riff of Charles county. The theory of the present suit fer damages against the sheriff is tldat he did not exercise due diligence ar take tha prep r precautions for protecting his prisoner from the mob. Tn poirt of fact according to the accounts published at the tin,ia, the Port Tcibscco jail, in which Cooking was con- fined, was an insecure buil6i ng. and tn - only official about the premises was an afed c~lored man, who was the jaflsr. When the mob cai1se for Cooking it met with no kind of resfstanc As far as the public was advised, there was no sort of justification for the lynching, as no one doube1 that the prisoner would have b-'sn speedily convlete5 ard pun ished if his guilt had been proven.
 It has never been settled in that state that a sin riff Is riaible for damages in such a case, and the result is awaited with interest. Some reformers have pro- posed to make counties pay hsavy fine for every lynching. This method was adopted by the Nornans after their conquest in England but it was a war r1easlrra anil was soon c-epeale1
 There can be no question, howev=r. about the duty of a county to have a secure jaIl-sn the charge of a competent and faith 4l officer. In i. the Maryland casa the County officials seem to have been guilty of gross negligence. and the responsible parties should be made to suffer.
