THE LATE SENATOR MORRILL,.
ton in the schools of the neighborhood.
When he was a young lad he went to
Portland, Me-, and entered the employ
of the Messrs. Fox, who owned line
of vessels in which they sent American
products to the West Indies and
brought back the staples of the tropics.
1t was while with this firm that young
Morrill, first observed the workings of
the protective tariff, with which his
name became so closely associated
few years later.
Before he had attained his majority
Mr.. Morrill, returned to Vermont, where
he was appointed the trustee of large
general country store which had been
ordered sold out. He bought the es-
tablishment, made money with it, es-
tablished branches in other towns, be-
came a prosperous merchant, and in
184S retired after an active service of
about II years. In the meantime Mr..
Morrill, had acquired other business in
terests. He was a bank director and
was largely interested in agricultural
pursuits.
Mr.. Morrill, had acquired such a rep
utatien as a broad minded and able
people of his district selected him in
1855 to represent them in the national
house of representatives. He served
in congress continuously until March
3, 1858. During his term he was prom
inently identified with tariff legislation
and was the author of the famous Nor
rill tariff bill. He acted as chairman
of the ways and means committee in
1864-5, and his work there gave him
national reputation.
Mr.. Morrill, took his seat in the Uni
ted States senate March 4, 1868, and
was reelected at the close of each
term. He was the colleague for many
years of Senator Edmunds, for whom
he entertained high regard. Mr.. Nor
rill had served continuously in the
senate for more than 81 years, and he
was SO years old on the 14th of April
last. With the single exception of
Hon. Galusha A. Grow. of the house of
representatives, he was the only man
in congress whose congressional career
began prior to the beginning of the
civil war, and he had the honor over
Mr.. Grow in that his congressional
service had been continuous, covering
In the senate and house combined al
most "A years. His present term, to
which he was chosen in 1896, would not
have expired until 1903.

After a Weeks Illness.

Washington, Dec =S.-Hon. Justin S.
Morrill,, the senior senator from YER
mont, died at 1:25 O'clock this morning,
in the S9th year of his age. after an
Illness of less than week. With him
when the end came were his sister-in-
law. Miss Louise Swan, his son James,
Mr. Benjamin Durfee, for long time
associated with the senator in the
finance committee work at the Cap
itols and Colonel S. E. Chamberlain, an
intimate friend. Senator Proctor was
in the house at the time. as were also
several other friends. The senator
never recovered from the unconscious
state into which he lapsed early in the
day, and his death was calm and peace
full.
The immediate cause Of death was
pneumonia. which developed from an
attack of grip contracted about week
ago. The venerable senator was con-
fined to his home but seven days. De-
spite his. advanced age, he attended
to his senatorial duties faithfully, and
regularly went to the Capitol. About
ten days ago the weather here was
cold, raw and foggy and his physician
thinks that exposure to its rigors
brought on the attack of grip. The day
before congress adjourned for the
Christmas holidays the senator was
unable to leave his residence. He grew
no better as the days went on, his low
vitality, due to advanced age, being
unable to resist the disease. On Christ
mas night it developed into pneumonia,
and from that time until the end he
sank steadily.

SNUBBED CUBA LIBRE.
Defiant Spaniard Fatally Stabbed
For Loyalty to Spain.
OUBANs IN HAVANA EXCITED,

They Bitterly Resent General Brooke's
Order Excluding the Cuban Army
From Participation in the Evacua-
tion Ceremonies.
Havana, Dec 29-Yesterday after
noon a Spaniard named Fernandez, a
member of the municipal police, was
surrounded by a crowd of Cubans in
Bomba street. Cuban and American
flags were waved in his face his rifle
was twisted out of his hands and half
a hundred men yelled to him to shout
Viva Cuba Libre'' or die. Fernandez
threw up his arms as If to assent, and
then, when the mob quieted down to
hear what he had to say he cried in
clear tones, Viva Espana, Viva Es-
pana." Three knives were thrust into
him, and he is dying.
1t is a favorite sport among the Gu
ban young men to stop in the streets
persons supposed to be pro-Spanish
and to make them kiss the Cuban flag
and cry viva Cuba iibre." Sometimes
these incidents have their humorous
features, but quite as often the VIC
tins are viciously treated. Yesterday

Rev. Sam Small Opposed to Chaplains
Savannah, Ca, Dec. 2s.-Rev. Sam
Small, the noted evangelist, is now
chaplain of the Third engineers, u. S. A.
He arrived here yesterday and said in
an interview: The chapiains are a
sort of SOP to the church sentime5 J,
without much substance to them. They
just take a minister and put uniform
on him with a silver cross on the
shoulder, pay him 5000 a month and
turn him loose on 1900 men without
any of the implements of the spiritual
warfare to fight with. When I get out
I am going to suggest that they do
away with the chaplains When we
get down to Cuba I'll wager most of
the men would rather go to cock fight
or a bull ring than attend services.

Guam to Have a Naval Governor.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The Island of
Guam will probable be different from
other colonial possessions or dependen
cies of the United States in having a
naval instead of a military governor.
The reason is that the sole reason for
the selection and requirement of the
island was to obtain conveniently
located naval station for our warships,
and that being the case the navy should
have exclusive control. The command
will be of Importance, for the island
has a population of more than 5000
people, and so far from these being
barbarians about 1,4OO of them are of
European extraction.

Colebrook, N H., Dec. 29.-Harry f.
Bailey, cashier Of the Colebrook Ma
tional bank, was arrested last night
charged with the misappropriation of
funds of the institution, the alleged
shortage being $S4,15O, through over
drafts, distributed among ten depositors.
The amount of the overdraft was kept
on a third book, and the other officials
of the bank say they were not aware
that credit was being so extensively
accorded to portion of the depositors.
The alleged Irregularities extend over
a period of nearly three years. The
bank is perfectly solvent.

A proposed change in the game laws at
the coming session of the Legislature is
causing considerable discussion pro and con
among sportsmen in South Jersey. The
changes are suggested by the State Game
Commissioners, who recommend that the
penalty for hunting other than with dog
and gun be reduced from $50 to $50, and q
reduction from $40 to $40 is advocated in
the penalty for killing game out of season.
It is recommended that it be made unlaw-
ful TO capture or kill deer for the next
three years or ring-necked pheasants for the
next two years. The season for snipe is
changed from March Is to May and from
August rs to January 1, and the season for
dove or upland ployer to the month Of
August alone. The season for reed bird,
rail bird or marsh hen is left as at present,
from August IS to January l. The season
for web-footed fowl is shartened to from
October to April 80. In othef respects
the law recommended is the same one HoW
existing. except as to minor details.

The hopeless division of the Republican
leaders in regard to currency reform is thus
depicted by Chairman Walker, of the
House Banking Committee:
"a situation exists at Washington that l
do not think is fully appreciated, even if it
is known. The Secretary of the Treasu y
and the Comptroller of the Currency can
not agree upon any plan of currency or any
general banking law, and the President
cannot agree with the views of either. In
addition, all three are opposed to the Hill
Fowler Indianapolis monetary conference
bill and to the McCleary bill. There is
one thing certain. that no general currency
or banking measure can be passed until all
the questions arising out of the war are
settled. or until after the Presidential
election of 19O4'
