JUDGE ROBERTSON DEAD.
The Man Who Fought Third Term
For Grant Passes Away.

White Plains. N. Y, Dec. 1.-THE Hon.
William H. Robertson is dead at his
home at Katonah of paralysis at the
age Of rs years. 4.
Judge Robertson was one of the best
known men in the political life of New
York state. as he had been in politics
ever since he became of age. He was
born at Bedford. Westchester county,
on Oct. 10, 1923. He received classical
education and then took up the study
Of law. His admission to the bar &C.
cured in 1847.
He was elected superintendent Of
schools at Bedford and also served as
county supervisor for several years. In
l849 and 1850 Mr.. Robertson was a men,
Der Of the assembly, and four years
later he was sent to the state senate.
His election as county Judge of West
chester cut short his service in the
senate. He was elected three times as
county judge and held the place for112
successive years.
In the early sixties Judge Robertson
became more widely known in the
world of politics, and in 1860 was presi-
Dental elector on the Republican ticket.
He was also a delegate to the national
convention at Baltimore in 1867 and was
again an elector. Judge Robertson was
elected to congress in 1866 and served as
a member OF the house Of representa-
tives from March 4, 1867. until March 8,
1869. Two years later he was reelected
as state senator. and for nine years
he served as one Of the leaders of the
Republican representatives in that
body.
Mr.. Robertson was most famous in
the political history Of this country as
the indirect cause of the quarrel be-
tween President Garfield and Senator
Roscoe Conkling. which led to the res
ignations of Senators Thomas c. Platt
and Conkling from the United States
senate and the detection of the so called
stalwart wing of the Republican party.
The feelings of Senator Conkling had
been greatly exasperated by President
Garfield's appointment of James G.
Blaine as his secretary of state, for
Conlling was at swords points with
the Maine statesman. Judge Robertson
was the leader OF the Blaine forces in
the convention which nominated Gar
field for the presidency, and he fought
vigorously and successfully against the
nomination of General u S. Grant for
third term. That convention was one
Of the most memorable in the history Of
the party, and Roscoe Conkling and
Judge Robertson were the leading spr-
its in the assemblage.

A SPEECH BY THE KAISER.
I'm Opening the ReiclstnE He Makes
n Survey of the World.

Berlin, Dec Z. - The reichstag was
opened by Emperor William, who, after
announcing introduction Of series
of social anu la Dor bills and the compile
ton OF the organization of the army
said that Germanys relations with all
the foreign powers continued to be
friendly and that the principal object Of
his policy would be to contribute to the
maintenance of peace. Therefore his
majesty hailed with warm approval the
cars magnanimous proposal for the
furtherance of that object.
Continuing, the emperor referred to
the assassination of the empress OF
Austria as being a savage and ruthless
act. which had caused him deep pain
and which had evoked the most sincere
sympathy throughout Germany.
Referring to the antianarchist confer
ence at Rome, the emperor said the
readiness with which the invitation had
been accepted by the powers justified
the hope that its deliberations would
have practical results.
Abiding to the war between Spain
and the United States, his majesty said
Germany's neutrality was conscien-
tiously and Loyalty observed toward
both bellgerents.
Then, dealing with colonial affairs,
Emperor William pointed out the meas
ures taken for the economic develop
ment Of kiaochau, declaring that while
conscientiously respecting the we'll ac-
quired rights of third parties the Ger
man government would. direct it's eff
forts to the further promotion of its
economic relations with China, which
are yearly growing more important.
The emperor concluded with referring
to his visit to Palestine. saying he hop
ed the brilliant reception accorded him
by the sultan and the Turkish people
everywhere would prove to be of per-
manent benefit to German prestige and
the national interests of Germany.
One of the first bills mentioned in the
reichstag was an antistrika measure
providing for the punishment of those
who intimidate nonstrikers, but not in
terfering with the workmen's rights of
coalition.
