IN MEMORIAM.

From the Corunna Journal.
Prof. Gilbert II. Hicks. Oldest son OF
Rev. H. w. and Mrs. Ellen A. Hicks,
was born In the town of Owosso, Mich,
Jan. 10th, 1861, and died suddenly of
hemorrhage of the bowels in Washing
ton, d. c., Dec. 9Th, 1893, in the thirty
eighth year of his age.
Prof. Hicks early education was re-
ceived In the district schools and when
his father became pastor of the MethO-
dist church of this city, in 1876, he
entered the high school and graduated
with honor In the class of 1879. He
entered Albion college in the autumn of
that year, where he spent two very sue
cessful years.
In the fall of 1881 he entered the em-
ploy of the Mich. Central r. r. Com
pany, aud was station agent successfully
at Oakley, Chesaning, Grayling and
Owosso Junction.
He resigned his position here 10 1890,
and entered the Michigan Agricultural
College at Lansing, from which he grad
uated in 1892.
He taught in the college before and
after his graduation until January, 1894,
when he took civil service examination
and entered the department of Agricul-
ture, at Washington, ID. c., and was
assigned to the seed laboratory in the
division of botany. Here he wrought
indefatigably for nearly five years, and
won the esteem of all his associates and
the hearty appreciation of the Secretary
of Agriculture, and the chief of his
division.
His efforts in the important work of
elevating the standard of seeds had al
ready won wide recognition among ex-
perts and other, both for its scientific
excellence and practical value, and his
future career gave promise of greatly
increased usefulness.
He was married Sept. 23rd, 1882, to
Miss Elva Etschman, only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Etschman, of this city,
and to them we're born two sons, aged
one and three years, respectively.
His domestic life was very happy in
deed, and his home life was model one.
He was converted and united with the
Methodist church, during revival SER

Senator Burrows, declares with sneer tina

bella of Spain, to be erected In Washington
as memorial of her work in promoting the
discovery of America. The time was when
the country was absorbed In the Columbian
exposition at Chicago. In the interests OF
that great fair we were seeking the good
will of all nations. The country recognized
especially the part that Isabella had in pro-
noting the expedition of Columbus.
1t is hard to answer sneer. 1t is moi
worth while to undertake 1t. If Gov. Pin.
gree sincerely wishes to show the public
services of Senator Burrows, as he claims
In his declaration that only this bill to es-
tablish monument can be found, how does
1t happen that he has overlooked the work
of Mr.. Burrows In laying down the prin-
clples Of legislation affecting intersta te com.
hCiCCs thC uIot W w oO III COnStCooE
Why does he not mention the advanced
position In favor of river and harbor i'm.
provements. and liberality in such appro-
priations, advocated by Burrows year after
year? There is not river or harbor on the
great lakes that does not speak for him.
1t is only within brief time that Gov.
Pingree has sought popular favor by attacks
On the railroads. A little research would
have showed him that rs years ago Bur-
rows was vigorously fighting railroad az
gressions and laboring for cheaper transport
tatiOn.
Suppose the governor studies the question
of civil rights, looks up the record of 1875
when the Ku-Klux were terrOrizing whole
communities, and see how Burrows came
to the rescue of the people in those sad
days.
The governor has probably forgotten that
Burrows introduced and successfully cham
pioned the bill against polygamy; that he
was successful advocate of facilitating
and extending the mail service.
The governor might remind the people,
or II he does not, the farmers still remem-
Der, that 1t was Burrows who champiOned
and secured the passage of the bill which
put stop to the swindles perpetrated on
farmers by means of ''patent gates" and
other patented devices which agriculturists
were inveigled into using only to become
victims of hordes of patent-rIght sharps.
Let the governor look up the record of the
Michigan state grange and learn what they
thought of Burrows for his great work In
this line.
1t is needless to ask the governor to con.

vocate. "A strong, convincing, successful ad.

against the Mills bill or the Wilson bill, moi

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Any interna+
tional difficulty connected with the
seizure Of the French steamer Lafayette
has been removed by the prompt re-
lease Of the vessel Immediately upon
notice Of her capture reaching the state
department.. The explanation for this
action on the part Of the administra-
ton is given in the statement which
follows and which was issued from the
White House:
"The Lafayette was released in pur-
suance Of orders which were issued by
the navy department previous to her
seizure. but which

sells that made the capture. The facts
are that on April 70 the French em-
bassy made an informal inquiry as to
whether the Lafayette, which left
Saint Nazaire, France, for Vera Cruz,
by way of Havana, before war was de-
clared or information Of the blockade
was received, would be allowed to land
at Havana certain passengers, her mail
bags and the dispatch bag Of the con-
sui general Of France and take some
French passengers on board. An as
surance was given that the steamer
would be forbidden by the French CON-
sui to land goods.

took place in the Via Torno and it is

A Swiss merchantman, which has ar

events Of Saturday as completely an

the leaders Of the agitation evidently
had well arranged plans. Columns of
rioters emerged from all the galleries

Second Attack Begun by Commodore
Dewey About Noon.
The battle, which was started at
about $3.50 a. M, and adjourned at $3.50
a. M, was resumed about noon, when
Commodore George Dewey started in
to put the finishing touches on his
glorious work. There was not much
fight left in the Spaniards by that time,
and at 2 p. m. the Petrol and Concord
had shot the Cavite batteries into ST.
lence, leaving them heaps Of ruins and
floating the white flag.
The Spanish gunboats were then
scuttled, the arsenal was on fire and
the explosion Of q Spanish magazine
caused further mortality among the
defenders Of Spain on shore.
On the water the burning, sunken or
destroyed Spanish vessels could be
seen, whilo only the cruiser Baltimore
had suffered in any way from the fire
Of the enemy. A shot which struck
her exploded some ammunition near
one Of her guns and slightly injured
half dozen Of the crew.
Several shots passed dangerously
close to Commodore Dewey but little if
any damage was done on board the
flagship. On the other hand about 400
men are said to have been killed on
board the Spanish ships,
which wsrs Totally Destroyed.
Admiral Montejo, the Spanish b COM
mander, transferred his flag to the
Isle de Cuba when his ship eau ght fire,
but the latter was destroyed in due
course of time.
