Treasury.

Washington, ID. c., March H.
Blanche X. Bruce, Register OF the
Treasury, died this morning at 8:l5
o'clock. His death had been expected
for several days. He suffered from u
complication OF stomach troubles,
which ut first appeared not tn be scri-
Gus, but last week he lost strength
steadily and toward the close Of the
week IT became apparent that his
vitality was ebbing rapidly.
Blanche K. Bruce WAS born In Prince
Edward county, Virginia, March l,
1911, sand therefore was ffty.scven
years of age. lie was Of African dc.
scent, was born 4 slave and received
the rudimcnts OF education from the
tutor OF his masters SOn. He taught
school for a time in Hannibal, Mo-,
and later became a student Of ODER
lin.
In 1869 he became a planter in Mis-.
sissippi and was appointed a member
OF the Mississippi Levee Board. He
was elected sheriff OF his county and
subsequently, superintendent Of cdu-
cation. In 1875 he was elected United
States Senator a. q Republican and
served until March 3, 1881.
lie was a member Of every Republi-
can national convention held since
1868. In 1881 he was appointed by
President Garfield Register OF the
Treasury and later was appointed Re.
cOrder OF Deeds of the District OF Co.

been regarded as perhaps the most
conspicuous man of his race.

Praise For Congressman Love.

Washington, March -. - Though
one 0f the newcomers In Congress,
Congressman Love Is fast forging his
way To the front by his tact, close APP
plication 10 business and the interest
he takes In measures OF public vel
fare, as the following complimentary
notice, clipped from this mornings
Washington Post, attests
Representative Love of Mississlp-
pl has received many compliments for
the intimacy he displayed with postal
affairs last week during the consider
alton Of the p~OstOfice appropriation
bill. Mr.. Love is serving his first
term in Congress, but has attended
very c0nscientiously to his duties as
a member OF the committee on post
Offices and pOstrOads. He had charge
OF the debate for the minority side on
several important paragraphs, and
conducted his part with dignity and
much discretion. There are said to
be very few members Of the House
who are so well informed on postal
matters, and 1t Is unusual for u new
member to acQuaint himself, In de-
tail, as Mr.. Love has done, about the
workings Of the service. Gen..Harry
Bingham OF Pennsylvania Is given
the credit OF being about the best
posted man on these topics, but Bing-
ham is not only a veteran OF the
House, but was for nearly six years

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The Maine court OF inquiry Is OK.
pccted TO report at Washington FRI
day, and on Monday the report will
be laid before Congress by President
Mckinley. 1t Is generally believed
that after the report on the Maine
disaster has been before the House,
the committee on foreign affairs will
submit a resolution recognizing the
independence OF Cuba. This action,
il Is thought, will be followed by a
declaration Of war on the part OF
Spain.
The preparations Of the United
States for war is going on lively, and
il wal should be declared. our navy
and army will be in good trim for the
conflict. The chances are largely Ia
the majority against war, however.
Hanna is the power behind the throne.

HORN ISLAND HARBOR.
Bill For Survey Passes the House.

Through the efforts Of Representa-

Mr.. Loves diligent efforts in be-
half of the people generally, and the
zeal which he has exhibited in taking
up and continuing the work Of secur.
ing National aid for the development
Of our Coast, and the improvement of
its Harbor, has justly won for him
much praise and favorable comment.
The survey under this bill will soon
be made, and the natural advantages
rendering easy the improvement OF
Horn Island Ilarbor, and its develop

Guarding the Coast Against Yellow
Fever.

Hon. A. Mortimer Dahlgren, the
clever collector Of the customs OF the
Pearl river district, returned from
Washington last week. 1t seems that
Mr.. Dahlgren's re-appointment Is q
forcgone conclusion II our information
from Washington is correct, and we
think it Is. The regular Washington
correspondent OF the Picayune Of Sat-
urday last says:
"Mr. Dahlgren, who was the dis.
bursting officer of the Treasury Depart.
ment at Ship island quarantine sta.
tion last fall, and who has subsequent.
ly been d~isinfectinR officer along the
coast, was requested tn-day, as a speci-
al to the administration, to repair at
once to the coast and continue as dis
injecting 0flcer OF the marine hospital
service, and cooperate with the ma
tional quarantine officers there in san
itary supervision, anticipating yellow
fever troubles. The administration
has resolved to expcnd money for i'm
mediate Improvements OF the quaran.
tine service. Four thousand dollars
has been appropriated from the exist.
Ing fund for the immediate purchase
OF a steam launch for the Ship Island
quarantine station, and extra night
watchmen and medical inspectors,
making double quarantine service at
that place, will soon be provided. In
addition to these, the Treasury De.
partment announced to-day that, after
a conference with Mr.. Dahlgren and
others interested in sanitary precau.
lions along the coast, many other i'm.
p0rtant steps will be taken to guard
the sanitary conditions, and that no
efforts will be spared TO check an out
break OF yellow fever next summer.
