Omaha, Neb., March 16.-Mrs. John
NJ. Tnurston was the daughter of Col.
and Mrs. Luther Poland, and Il niece
of Luke p. Poland, one of Nermont's
greatest statesmen, senator md repre-
sentative. Her maiden name was Mar
tina L. Poland. She was born in Yer.
mont a few days less than fifty years
ago, and removed to this city with hel
parents nearly thirty years ago. She
was married to Senator Thurston, who
was then a struggling lawyer, on
Christmas day, 1872. AS a result OF
the union there are three children--a
1~7-year-old son, who is now a student
at Harvard college, and two girls, IA
and IL years, who are now in this city
Three children were buried. Mrs
Thurston took great interest in her
husbands public welfare and assisted
him materially in his political prefer
ment.
During his campaign for the sen,
atorship. she was present at seventy
four of the seyenty-six appointments
he made. She was his counsellor as 4
lawyer, appearing in court even with
him as an assistant in several imports
ant cases. She was n brilliant woman,
having considerable literary ability,
II painting very we'll. She did not
have much time to devote to social cir.
cles, as she directed the education OF
her children until they were of an age
to enter the high school. She was
member of the society of the Daugh
tiers of the American Revolution, and
was recently elected vice president O.

PROCTOR ADVISES INTERFERENCE

ScHitoF Will AuvlHC Inns
mediate Recognition ofCnbn's
Independence.
st. Louis, March ia Washington
special to the Globe-Democrat says:
Senator Proctor is satisfied" II
means that the Vermont senator is fol
the prompt and complete settlement OF
the war in Cuba. 1t means that he has
investigated the strength OF the insur.
Tectlon and the weakness OF Spanish
authority, two questions upon which
the administration and congress desire
q" DC accurately informed ut this i'm.
mediate time. The senator is keeping
ms counsel. But from the source OF
the message quoted it is accepted here
that his judgment is for the freedom
or Cuba by the most effective means
Ilal ne will counsel the recognition
Of Cuban independence at the earliest
possible day.
Senator Proctor is not emotional. He
Is the typical undemonstrative YAM
zee. When n man like Senator Proctor
cannot talk of the scene which he has
witnessed without choking and show
ing tears it is time for the United
soeates to act. The senator says he was
never so deceived in a matter of great
interest to the United States. He had
not conceived of the horrors. He be-
lieves that there can be no end to this
understandable misery until peace is re.
stored to Cuba. lie is in no mind to
compromise. He is satisfied that au.
tonomy has failed, and that the full
ruin about the conditions on the
stand has never been told. So much
Fan be said of the frame of mind in
which Senator Proctor comes back,
and will see the president, who stands
ready to act only %hesitating as to the
'5best form his good intentions shall
take.
or the confidential relations existing
between the president and Senator
Proctor the public is not informed.
but the fact is that, previous to the
nominating convention at st. Louis a
very close relationship began. Yer
mont was the first of the New England
states to break from the solid support
OF Reed and to declare for Mckinley,
and Senator Proctor was elected a dele
gate at large: From that time up to
tho nomination at st. Louis and
through the campaign Senator Proctor
was n of Mr.. Mekinley's most trust
I'd advisers. His name was not in the
papers daily, but in his quiet way the
senator was as devoted to the interests
Of Mr.. Mckinley rs any of his friends,
DOT accepting Mr.. Hanna.
1t is an open secret that Senator
Proctor could have had almost any
place in the cabinet had he desired to
leave the senate, but he did not SO de-
sire. And now the senator has given
new proof of his friendship by quail
Sying himself in the best way possible
to serve the president in this Creates,
emergency. The coming meeting be.
twen the president aud Senator Proc.
tor will go farther than a dozen cabi.
net meetings Co shape the next step
in the Cuban matter.

CHALLENGES BILLY MASON.
Spanish Editor Sends a Def to the
Illinois Senatnr---Hc Wants
IS % IN Eiobt t

Washington, March Ex-senator Ma
son yesterday received the challenge.
sent him by the editor of the Spanish
paper, El Cardo. The document is
printed and is signed by the editor,
the Marquis de Alta Villa. The chal-
lenge is for a combat with swords, and
is preceded by n column of personal
abuse, in which Mr.. Mason is described
as IAN ignoble Yankee senator who
Fcolds like a woman, and who has not
the valor to fight like Il man, and who
would take a slap in the face without
resenting it."
The American people are referred to
as n people who deal in pigs, and
whose flag is the almighty dollar"
The senator accepts the challenge in
a jocose spirit. He says he will have
to see the marquis before lie decides to
accept, but that it scarcely nccords
with Spanish modesty for the chul-
longing party to nam the weapons,
as is done in this instance.
