WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Hon. JUS
tin S. Morrill,, the senior United States
Senator from Vermont, died at 1:2O
o'clock this wednesday, morning, in
the seth year of his age, after an ILL
ness of less than a week With him
when the end came were his sister-in-
law, Miss Louise Swan; his son James,
Benjamin Durfee, for a long time as
sociated with the Senator in Finance
Committee work at the Capitol, and
Colonel E. S. Chamberlain, an init
mate friend. Senator Proctor was in
the house at the time, as were also sew
eral other friends.
The Senator never recovered from
the unconscious state into which he
lapsed early in the day, and his death
was calm and peaceful
The immediate cause of death was
pneumonia, which developed from an
attack of grip contracted about a 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 it's rigors
brought on an 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

being unable to resist the disease. On

CANS THE WINNER.
Given the Decision in the Glove
Contest With Daily.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27-Joe Cans of
Baltimore outpointed Jack Daily of Will
mington, Del, in a twenty y-five-round
bout at 135 pounds before the Lenox
Athletic Club tonight, and the referee
decided in favor of the Baltimorean.
The referees decision did not suit
many of those who watched the contest,
but conservative judges agreed that the
colored boy was entitled to @ favorable
verdict. Cans forced DAILY to do the
leading, and throughout the fight he
countered hard He was always on the
alert for chance to knock out his op-
ponent, but the opportunity did not pre-
sent itself
Cans was g. top-heavy favorite in the
betting, but Daly's showing was a big
surprise to many of those who thought
that the colored man would have an
easy mark in the Delaware boxer.
In preliminary bout Jim Janey (col-
ored) of Baltimore defeated Dan Sulli-
van of Boston m four rounds easily.

UNTRUTHFUL STATEMENTS.
Capt. Chadwick Denies Allegations
In "Engineering Magazine.o

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Captain F. E.
Chadwick, commander of the cruiser
New York, now lying off Tompkinsville,
gave out statement to-day denying
allegations made in an article publish

the article referred to statements were
made to the effect that the United
States warships that destroyed Ger
vera's fleet at Santiago on July Sd were
really not in a proper state of pre-
paredness when the Spanish fleet pass
ed out through the channel and at
tempted TO escape. Engines were un-
coupled, it was stated, boilers were
either empty or full of salt water, and
the CRATES were cold. Captain Chad
wick says:
1.-THE New York and Brooklyn have
four engines, all Of which together can
only be used TO advantage with full
power. The New York was using forty
five tons of coal day on the blockade
as it was. 1t was the practice to keep
steam on four of the six boilers, a fifth
filled with water kept hot by the hy-
drokineted method and primed ready
for firing. and a. sixth cleaning This
was the condition the day of the action.
"The sixth boiler, as were all the 9TH

use efficiently all the engines coupled

LUTHERAN CHURCH.
A General Conference Being Held
at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-A gen.
eraI conference of Lutherans, the first
meeting of the kind ever held in this
country, the delegates representing the
General Council, the General Synod
and the United Synod of the South,
began in st. Johns Lutheran Church
here to-day. The conference will con-
tinue until Thursday afternoon, the

ing held in St Mathews Church.
The three bodies comprising the con-
ference have a communicate member
ship of 100000 persons, and include
600 congregations. The ministers in
the bodies number near 5000. The pro-
ceedings, which are expected to have
an important bearing upon the Luther
an Church, grew out of the action
taken by the General Consul at Easter,
Pa in 1895, which was subsequently
approved by the General Synod and
the United Synod of the South.
While it is not announced as an eff
fort to unite the three great synods of
the Lutherans. the object is to prepare
the way for a better understanding and
a, more harmonious cooperation among
Lutherans in the three synods repre-
sented
The ministers in attendance as dele
gates number about 200, and are from
Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland,

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
Will Represent the United States
at the Cars Peace Conference.

at the Cars Peace Conference.
NEW YORK, Dec. pa dispatch
to the Journal" from Washington
says that Archbishop Ireland will rep
resent the United States at the Gar S
peace conference The President has
had the subject under advisement for
several weeks, and, according to the
best authority, it may be said that a
decision was recently reached, the
Archbishop having agreed to accept
this most important and honorable
post
Ever since his induction into Office,
the President has been anxious to testi-
fy his appreciation Of Archbishop Ire
lands republicanism, which took the
form of strong interviews and speeches
during the campaign of 1896 and of his
mental gifts and learning.
The Cars call for an international
peace congress, at which his proposed
universal disarmament is to be dis
cuSSed, has presented an exceptional
opportunity to honor Archbishop Ire
land in an illustrious manner.
AS the representative of the United
States in such an assemblage, his posi-
ton would comport with the dignity of
his ecclesiastical views, while not inter
fering with it's duties, owing to the
temporary character of the political ap-
pointment.
Aside from the pleasant effect that
such a designation would have upon a
large proportion of the population of
this country, it is assumed that the
United States would gain prestige
among the Catholic nations represented
at this congress. as we'll as achieve for
the President a reputation for good
taste in selecting for peaceful mis-
sion a professional messenger of peace
and good will Tt is not yet known
whether the Archbishop will be the sole
representative of the. United States OF
whether he will head delegation OF
three or five representatives from this
country.

the end he sank steadily.
No definite funeral arrangements
have yet been made, but it is altogether
likely that public services will be held
in the Senate chamber.
The remains of Mrs. Morrill, who
died during the present year, are now
in a vault at Rock Creek Cemetery
near this city, and it may be that the
senator's body will be deposited there
pending removal to Strafford, VT,
where a mausoleum is in course of
construction.
In the death of Senator Morrill, the
Senate lost it's senior member in point
of service and it's oldest in age. He
had served continuously in the Senate
for more than thirty-one years, and
he was So years of age on the 14th of
April last. With the single exception
of Hon. Galusha Grow of the House of
Representatives. he was the only man
in Congress whose Congressional career
began prior to the beginning of the
Cival 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 forty-four years.
Senator Morrill, was born in Strafford
VT, April IA, 1910, and In early life
was a merchant, later an agriculturist.
He was elected to the House of Repre-
sentatives in the Thirty fourth Con-
gress, and for four succeeding terms.
Then he was transferred to the Senate
as a Union Republican, taking his seat
March 4, 1867. Since that time his
service has been continuous, and he
has the record of the longest unbroken
term of service in the history of the
Senate. He has taken an important
part in the legislation of the last thirty
years, especially on commercial and
financial questions, his position as
Chairman of the Finance Committee
giving him a leading part in all meas
ures relating to the tariff, banking and
currency.
