their keenness Of intellect, powers of
perception and strength in speech and

With law was made in the Office of Dur
bin Ward, then successful practition-
er in Cincinnati. During the war he
attained the rank OF major in one of
his regiments. He was commissioner of
patents first during the administration
of Garfield and Arthur, and his record
made then and subsequently had great
weight with President Mckinley in Sc
lecting him for the position.
He was made secretary of the worlds
fair project early in the inception of
that great enterprise at Chicago during
the early nincties. and worked along in
that capacity with honor to himself and
profit to the company until it's close.

NO DISTURBANCE.


Washington, Jan. 16.-Grave appre-
tensions were felt by both the officials
of the state department and those of
the Spanish legation that disturbances
of more or less serious character
might occur in Havana to-day, owing
to the fact that many persons other
wise occupied during the week would
be comparatively free on this day to
follow their own inclinations. Adviees
received by Minister De LONE early to-
day. followed by others at late hour.
indicated, however, that Havana was
perfectly tranquil.
After noon the minister received
dispatch conveying the information
that there had not only been no riot
ing, but there were not even sporadic
disturbances of any kind. As a pre-
cautionary measure General Blanco had
carefully provided against any trouble,
but SO far ar surface indications went
the precautions he had taken were en-
rirely unnecessary. The advices were
that the better judgment Of the people
was uppermost Good feeling prevailed
generally throughout the city, and no
disturbances We're anticipated. Up to
3 O'Clock this morning the state de-
paftment officials had received no word
from Havana. and they accepted this
as an indication that no trouble had
occurred or WAS anticipated. Tney
regard the feeling of last week as
merely a furry. which spent its force
in the few hours 1t lasted. General Lee
is under instructions to notify the de-
partment promptly of anything unus-
ual or in the least way threatening, and
the fact that no dispatch was received
from him clearly Indicates that the
city is practically absolutely quiet.
Secretary Long has received no adj
ditionai information concerning the
movement Of the North Atlantic squa-
dron. and said that he expected none.
Admiral Sicard will simply carry ont
the orders previously issued to him
and sail to-day with the main body Of
the squadron for Southern waters to
enter upon the usual winter maneuy-
