Washington. April 11.-Justice Steph-

evening. of kidney complications.
About his bedside were his wife and
her sister. Mrs. j. Condit Smith: Jus
tice David j. Brewer. his nephew; Mrs.
Edgerton of California; Mr.. Linton. his
private secretary; Rev. Edward Nj.
Mott, rector of the Church OF the Adj

been unconscious since Saturday morn
ing, and death came ~painlessly. Ever
since Justice Fields retirement from
the supreme court bench on Dec. l.,
1897, he had enjoyed comparatively
good health. and being relieved from
the responsibilities which he had
borne for so many years he became
more cheerful than formerly. and
seemed to enjoy the society Of his
friends and acquaintance more than
ever before. All during the winter.
when the weather was fair, ii was his
custom 10 take daily drives about the
city or through the grounds of the sol

disease rapidly yielded 10 treatment,
and on Thursday last he sat up for a
time and seemed quite himself again,
but on Saturday morning a change for
the worse took place and about noon he
lost consciousness. From that time he
sank rapidly and expired at 6:3O
o'clock. 30 arrangements have yet
been made for the funeral, o is it
now known where he will be hurled. 1t
is probable that his remains will be
taken to Stockbridge. Mass. where are
buried his father and mother and his
brothers Cyrus, Dudley and Jonathan,
two sisters and other members of the
Field family. 1t is possible. however,
that Mrs. Field may decide to take his
remains TO California. where a consld-
cradle part of his active life was spent
before President Lincoln appointed
him an active member of the supreme
court bench. Justice Field was eighty

GEN. COMETS ONE THOUGHT.


'uba.
Washington, April s. - The cruiser
Detroit, which is now lying off La
Guayara, Venez., has been ordered
post haste Il BluefieldS, Mic. for the
protection of American interests in
that quarter. on the way she will
touch at Port Iimon, Costa Rica,
where her commander will nut himself
in communication with the United
States consul at that port. and where
he also may receive further instruc-
tons. She is also likely to make a
very brief stop at Greytown. Her
dispatch under hurry orders is at the
urgent request of the state depart
ment, to which American residents,
both at Bluefields and Costa Rica,
have appealed for protection Of Ameri-
can interests. The arbitrary and ex-
tortionate policy adopted by Gen.
Torres at Bluefields. who, on more
than one occasion, ha" ma!e himself
persona o grata to this government,
and whose restoration to power has
been followed by acts which American
residents resent and protest against. is
the main cause for the vessels's dis
patch.
Tie state department at the same
time has cabled instructions to the
United States diplomatic representa-
tive mt Bluefields to lodge an ener-
getic protest with the Nicaraguan
government against the action of Gen.
Torres, and "A disregard of this pro-

the Northern Pacific railway wants in
Fargo all it has got to do is to ask FOR
IL. Formerly il was said that ".All

sion with the Northern Pacific seems
to read, "All trains must go To Fargo"
When the new coast train was put
On by the Northern Pacific ii did not
give Fargo any more trains, and only
afforded people west of Jamestown "a
better opportunity 10 reach the city.
But to Offset this, the schedules We're
so arranged that the people west of
Fargo, in the carer towns, had TO
arise at unholy hours or come To the
city and remain all night to do their
trading next day. The master was
presented TO the Northern Pacific off
ciafs in the proper manner. and they
have remedied the fault most eifectu-
ally.

stop at all the main line stations be-
tween Fargo and Sanborn, and, in adj
dition to that, it gives Fargo new ter
ritory up the Cooperstown branch,
opening up new trade that will be
worth thousands of dollars annually.
This new train. taken I'm connection
with the extension of the CoopeSsown
branch. means a whole lot to this city.
In addition to this. the Northern Pa
cific has made another change in the
new passenger train, known as Nos. Z
and >, which run from st. Paul to
Winnipeg Junction. In future, that
train will run to Fargo. and the train
crews will lay over here, and consider,
nble local business between the June
ton and Fargo will be brought here.
East-bound. the train will leave here
Gt 9;45 in the evening.
These new arrangements give Fargo
four passenger trains daily to the
Twin Cities, and. of course, the same
number from there. West of Fargo,
there are three passenger trains each
way. daily. and then the passenger on
the South western to Lisbon. La Moure
and Edgeley. Eight Northern Pacific
passenger trains bringing people TO
Fargo every day would seem to indi-
cate an intention on the part Of the
road to help the city along i'm every
way possible. Much of the credit for
the new train service is due to Supt.
Wilson, of the Dakota division.

To Protect American Interest /.

That Quarter.
Havana. April 3. - The Cuban mill.
tary assembly being dead, Gen. Gomez
will take up his programme of solidi.
flying the Cuban people into a party
that shall, without ceasing. urge the
United States TO withdraw from the
island. His purpose is to make tba
people seem to have but one emotion
one desire-the thought of independ-
ence and of absolute separation from
the United States. Gen. Gomez con
siders the dissolution of the assembly
as his personal achievement, aided by
the military administration here and
countenanced at Washington. He be-
lieyes that he energies from the con-
troyersy with the assembly stronger
than ever with the better classes. His
theory is that the Cubans, who. be-
fore. thought him merely an adroit
guerilla chief, are now prepared to re.
gard him as a political leader, and that
n few days more viii probably see him
III name ge~neral-in-chief of the army.
Yesterday Gen. Pedro Diaz. who
commands in the province of Pinar del
Rio, invited several generals and brig
ade commanders who are friendly to
Gomez to n conference regarding the
latters future course. As many who
were invited were some distance away
from Havana and could not arrive here
In time for the meeting, there were
only a few present, but the possibility
OF reinstating Gomez as commander
in-chief was formally discussed. with
the result that little or no opposition
to the proposal developed. In order
TO get a more general expression of
opinion 1t was decided to defer the
formal meeting until to-day. No other
candidate is possible, and if any such
action is attempted ii will ~undoubted-
ly be carried through.
Gen. Gomez, If ~reinstated. would be
or greater service TO the United States
in the disbursement Of the S3,000,000,
but his political programme means the
keeping up Of agitation and disturb
ance in the minds of the people and the
weakening of American authority by
producing the impression that every
thing done by the Americans is tenn
porary and may one or later be
overturned. American observes con-
slider any such agitation as extremely
harmful to the industrial revival and
the restoration of Cuban credit.
