For Years Most Notable Figure in
National Politics.
Was the Leader of the Democratic
Forces i'm the Upper House-f1is
Remains Will be Taken to Terre
Haute, Indiana, the Late Senator's
Home, for lnterment.

WASHINGTON, April 10.~-Daniel
Wolsey Voorhees,, ex-Unitec States
Senator from the State of Indiana, died
at ) o'clock this morning at his home
in this city.
The Senator has been in poor health
for several years, and for at least two
years past has taken little part in the
proceedings of the Senate. He had been
a constant sufferer from rheumatism of
the heart, and his friends, therefore,
had come to expect that they might
hear of his death suddenly. The last
reports of him, however, were that he
was showing some signs of improve
ment, and his death, therefore, while
not entirely unexpected, came with the
suddenness of shock. AT the time of
his retirement from the Senate the
Tall Sycamore of the Wabash as he
was affectionately called by his follow
ers in the Hoosier State, was the rank
Democrat on the Finance Committee,
and by virtue of this position a nominal
leader, at least, of his party on the
floor of the Senate on tariff and finan
ciaf questions. He was not very ac-
tive, however. owing to his ill-health,
in the work of the Wilson tariff bill.
In the repeal of the Sherman silver
law the Hoosier Senator took a very
prominent part. 1t was his last i'm
portant part in the Senate. Senator
Voorhees, was 40 years old.
Senator Voorhees, death was caused
by an attack of angina pactoris. His
health was SO poor during the recent
political campaign that he could not
participate in it, but after his return to
Washington, in November, he seemed
to improve in health. Two weeks ago
his old rheumatic troubles returned,
ard three days ago he became alarm
ingly i'll, but did not confine himself to
bed, and the family felt no immediate
alarm 1t was not indeed, until half
an hour before the final summons came
that anyone thought death was near.
The Senator's son, Reese Voorhees,, had
remained in the room with his father
during the night, and was awakened
about 4 o'clock this morning by his
father who was then suffering great
pain in the region of the heart. He
refused, however, to call a physician
saying that the pain would pass away.
Half an hour later he appeared much
better. and got out of bed to walk to
the bathroom, his son being with him.
When they entered the hallway the

GOT INTO JAIL.
Yesterday Was an Off Day With
Henry CaSweII.

Henry Caswell was on the rampage
yesterday morning. Securing a horse
at his fathers stable at Fourth and L
streets he rode out to the residence of
his mother-in-law at 1920 Sixteenth
street, where, the officers say, he threw
flower pots through windows and ended
by choking his wife and abusing his
mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
While Caswell was engaged in run
ming the house on Sixteenth street his
brother passed along and, seeing the
horse the former had ridden, took the
animal back to the stable
Caswell soon after returned to the
stable and entered with the avowed
purpose of once more taking the horse
His father objected, and finally had to
close the stable door, shutting Henry
inside. He called an officer, and Naghel
responded.
On opening the door the officer was
nearly run over by Caswell, who was
already astride the horse. Then there
was quite scene. Caswell refused to

AMERnuAuN uNrnE IrAI-


 A gentleman who was formerly a resident of Dublin, has very kindly handed the JoURNAL-MNER a copy of the Dublin Weekly Nation of October l6, in which is told of the the return uo that country of W. M. Murphy, from visit to the United States to purchase electrical ma chinery for q street railroad. In an interview with the paper, he had the following to say concerning his visit:
 Having obtained power in the last session of Parliament to equip the whole of the Dublin tIamwajs with electrical apparatus, we cast about to find where We could pur- chase the necessary machinery of the best kind. and in the cheapest market. We found that the Ameri- can manufacturers had completely out dlstanced those of every other country in this industry, and my recent visit to the States was to make contracts for the supply of all necessary apparatus for operating the Dublin tFamways by electricity. l was accompanied by a fellow director, J. B. COncannon, and by Mir, Anderson, the secretary and manager of our company. The re- { port of the object of our visit to America soon spread amongst the ! manufacturers, aud we found that l the keenest interest was felt in ths subject of our mission. For it was quite unique entertainment to supply machinery, of the class which We required, from America to the United Kingdom. We also found that we might expect very keen competition for our orders, as the American manufacturers were aware that Dublin would be the first large city in the United Kingdom which would have its entIre tramway sys- tenn electrically equipped, and that in supplying us they would be creating a valuable advertisement for themselves. In the result VIC purchased machinery of various kinds at an expenditure approaching nearly fl500O0, and at about two. thirds of what We had estimated the cost would be six months ago.
 Moreover, by our personal con- tact with the manufacturers, we believe we have done better by from f20000 to f25,0O0 than We should have been able to do with English manufacturers. We have further the satisfaction that We have been able to place our contracts at these low prices with firms of the very highest reputation in the United States. We are, therefore, as you may suppose, thoroughly satisfied with the result of our visit and feel amply repaid for our trouble"

THAT ASSIGNED CLAIM

In commenting on the action of the board of control, in recently allowing an assigned claim of ex- Governor Wolfey for S3,650, our contemporary says:
 This was another little 'legaliz- ing scheme in the line with the 'legalizing' of other shaky securities. It makes all the difference in the world who holds the claim in these days of large profits on investments in such securities. A net profit of S2,650 was made on this little trans action, with the allowance made, so a little bird whispers in The Cou- rier's ear"
 This IS about as near as our con temporary comes to making a fair statement in regard to any action taken by the board of control on any question. Instead of legalizing claim for the above amount, they compromised one, which it is claim ed, had been legalized by Congress, and which amounted to about 5000 for the above amount, or a little more than one-third of its face. It does not seem as though tax payers should kick at a proposition of that kinda saving of nearly S6,0O0.
 As to the profit alleged to have accrued iu the transaction, it is not quite clear who is the supposed beneficiary, but if cur contempory intends to iusinuate that it accrues to the aSsignee's of this claim, it misrepresents, as they are creditors of MT Wolfey to nearly double the amount of the clam.
 Another point, which makes the kick of our contemporary rather premature. is the fact that the own- CTS of the assigned claim have not yet accepted this proposed com promise, and the tax payers may not suffer to the extent of making a possible saving of 5000 out of it.
