VENERABLE MINISTER DIES.

Close Of the Career of Rev. Peter
Wallace, Noted Illinois Methodfst.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-Rev. Peter Wallace
died Sunday night at his residence at
41oo Lake avenue, aged "a years. For
the last ten days the family of the VEN
erable Methodist had been momentarily
expecting his death, the cause of which
was blood poisoning from clot in an
artery. He suffered intense pain, when
not under the influence of opiates, but
his end was peaceful.
[Rev. Peter Wallace was born in Marion
county, KY, and moved with his parents
at an early age to Brown county, o. At
the age Of 20 he came to Springfield. ILL.,.
where he became intimately acquainted
with Lincoln, Douglas and Yates. He was

NO CALL. FOR wARsHIPs.
Rumors Of Gen. Lee's Action Ar
T. Denied at Washington.

Rumors Of Gen. Lee's Action Are
Dented at Washington.
Washington, Feb. 22.-No foundation
whatever can be found here for the
story that crisis with Spain is immi-
nent, and that Consul-General Lee, at
Havana, has asked for warships. At
the white house the rumor is emphat-
ically denied, and the officials of the
state and navy departments say there
is no reason for apprehension that the
case of DR.. Richard Ruiz, who was
found dead in his cell in the Jail at
Guanabacoa, Cuba, will lead to interna-
tional complications.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the state department in the lat
ter part of the last week through COM
plaint of some of the friends of the doc
tor in this country. The allegations
were that the man had been imprisoned
beyond the period allowed by the treaty
for an American citizen to be kept in
Jail without the lodgment of charges
and that he had been murdered by his
jailers. Consul-General Lee was imme-
diately directed by cable to investigate
the affair. although it appeared from
his dispatches that he had already had
his attention directed to the case.
The official reports of the Spanish
officers are said to show that Ruiz COM
mitted suicide while in Jail, but this
has not yet been communicated to the
department of state. Meanwhile, Con-
sul-General Lee is investigating the
matter, and the state department. is
awaiting his report. In the absence of
this the department officials feel no
apprehension of any complications, and
all stories that war ships have been
called for by Gen. Lee or that this gov
ernment is making ready to take forci-
BILE measures in the case are without
foundation.
Secretary Olney has cabled Minister
Taylor at Madrid that DR.. Ruiz died
under suspicious circumstances in the
Guanabacoa Jail, and directing the min
lister to impress upon the Spanish gov
ernment the urgent wish of the United
States that all the facts be made known
with the least possible delay. 1t is ex-
pected that a reply to this cablegram
will be received to-day to the effect that
the Spanish government is eager to give
the authorities of the United States
every opportunity to get at the truth
of the affair.

he ought not to publicly announce his
intention until the vacancy existed.
Gov. Bushnell secuted the idea that
he had been inducedt to appoint Chairman
Hanna by the fact that George B. Cox,
Of Cincinnati, had declared for him.
Gov. Bushnell said he considered what
the distinguished services of MIR. Hanna
to the party were, and the standing of
Senator Sherman in the party-the lat
ter having asked that Mr.. Hanna be ap-
pointed to succeed him, made it in
cumbent upon him to bestow this honor
as he had determined to do.

finally yielded to the pressure and will
