OBITUARY.
Right Rev. John Williams, Aged
Protestant Episcopal Bishop.

MIDDLETOwN, Conn, Feb. fright
Rev. John Williams, d. D., Ii. D., bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, diocese
of Connecticut. and senior member of the
House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church
in America, died Unexpectedly at the epis-
cOpal residence shortly before 6 O'Clock to-
night. He had been suffering a light
attack of the grip for about q but a
fatal result was not anticipate Though
Bishop Williams had practically 4 an in
valid for the past two years and c. mined 70
his bed excepting for a short while each day,
his n were entirely of a physical
nature. His mind was bright and active TO
the end, and he never lost his interest in the
Berkely Divinity School and matters in gem
eral. He continued his class in the Divinity
School, the students coming to his room
for lectures.
Right Rev. John Williams. d. D., Ii. D.,
was born in Deerheld. Mass. Aug. so, 1917.
After graduating at Trinity College, Hart
ford, in 1885, he was ordained priest in 1911.
His life was a varied one. from the time lie
became assistant priest at Middletown,
Conn.,, until, when as president of Trinity
College, Hartford. he was elected assistant
bishop of Connecticut. His printed works
have been quite voluminous, including va
rious lectures on church history, and the
"Bedell Lectures for 1881" Bishop Williams
a fine parliamentarian, and made an ad-
mirable presiding officer.

unoficially at least, to the attention of the
German authorities, and that a representa-
tive of the Berlin government has declared
his conviction that 1t was wholly unaware
of the conduct Of its representative. The
authorities feel satisfied that the German
consul will not be permitted to continue his
unfriendly course.
This is not the first evidence the authori-
ties have obtained showing the unfriendli-
ness of the German consul for the United
States. The State Department recently re-
ceived that this officer had been
instrumental in the purchase by agents of
Aguinaldo from a German firm in Hong
Kong Of something like $4,000 stand of arms
and ammunition, which were safely deliV-
cred in the Philippines. 1t seems, therefore,
that through German agencies the Eiltpinos
are quite Wen armed. 1t is expected that
Great Britain will take steps to prevent the
shipment of arms and ammunition to the
tflipinos from Hong-Kong, and it may be
that their prevention will cause the raiders
IN Hong-Kong TO move their wares TO
Chinese territory and then ship to the archi-
pelago. 1t Will also be practicable for the
EIlipinos to send supplies from Cochin
China"

gold pen factory was burned tonight. Hol-
land owned the building as well as the fac
tory. II was a fiye-story structure, Nos. 127
and 129 East Fourth street. The entire in

Railway Trains Blocked.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. THE temper
allure here the past seven days has ranged
from 1S to IS degrees below zero. For the
first time since the storm all trains on the
Wyoming division of the Union Pacific Rail-
way are blocked. Between Lookout and
Cheyenne heavy snow drifts were encoun-
tered, and the rotary snow plows. under the
direction of Superintendent Harris, are now
clearing the road. Passenger trains from
the west are ten hours late. Indications
are for continued cold. The loss of live
stock will be very heavy. Mrs. j. Holmes,
of Iron Mountain, left the Ferguson ranch,
near Silver Crown, to drive to her home
three days ago, and was out in the storm
two days and nights. She slept between
the horses the first night and took shelter
in an old well the second night. When she
reached home she was badly frozen, and her
condition is critical.

REPATRIATION OF sPANIARDs.
No Contract Yet Made for TranspOrta-
ton of Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, Feb. r. Nothing has
been done since last week by the War De
partment in the matter of repatriating the
Spanish prisoners in the Philippines. 1t was
expected on Thursday that by Saturday
General Otis would furnish the department
the total number of Spaniards to be carried
home, and on the receipt of this information
the contract would be formally awarded to
the Spanish CompaEie Transatlantique. On
Saturday General Otis was otherwise en-
Gagged and the list has not yet been received
by the quartermaster generals office. 1t is
said. however, that the military action IN
the Philippines probably will not interfere
with the shipment of the Spanish prisoners
to Spain and may rather accelerate it, as
the dispatches from General Otis indicate
a number of refugee Spaniards in the in
surgent ranks, and the presence of a large
number of prisoners of war in Manila makes
that many more mouths, to feed, beside di-
Vertng a large number of General Otis's
forces from an aggressive campaign to
guard the prisoners against an uprising.

pEwEY POSSIBLY Did III.
May Have PrecipitRted h Conflict by
Selling a CARGO of Arms.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1T may be that
it was Admiral Dewey's act in Selling a
vessel loaded with arms and ammunition
intended for them that melted the Philip
pine insurgents to attack the American SOL
diers Saturday night. for it is understood
that one of the bitterest of their grievances
was what they declared to be unwarrant-
able interference with their shipping. 1t is
learned at the Navy Department that about
a week ago the admiral caused the seizure
of the schooner Taneng with a full supply
of such arms for the insurgents. The adj
miral's report d~iscloses the fact that an
American and not a German owned the yes
sci thus being used to arm the insurgents
against Otis's troops.
Naval officers have watched with pride
the achievements of the naval vessels dur
ing the recent fighting and they were graft
fled when Secretary Long this afternoon
sent the following cablegram to Dewey, at
Manila: Congratulations"

Campaign for " MessenEership.

Representative William Alden Smith used
to be a newsboy in Grand Rapids, Mich,
and he has always had a warm spot in his
heart for the little feiows who make their
living in the same way. Not long ago. While
delivering an address to the boys, he prom
ised that he would get one of them a gov
eminent job, provided they made their own
selection of the boy. The pace was TO be
a messengership in the Grand Rapids post
Office.
The boys went to work at once. A hot
campaign was -inaugurated, a time was
fixed for a vote, speeches were made and
brides of pie and cigarettes were freely dis
tributed. At last the election was held, and
Yesterday Nj. Smith secured the coveted
position for the successful candidate.

perintendent Of streets. Several names
have been suggested for this position,
and Mayor Gordon. who have give.
considerable attention to the subject OF

full consideration to the ability OF the

ers we would ask the mayor to appoint
Il man who knows something about the
construction and repair of streets, how
to handle workmen, who will attend to
department without fear or favor,
who will not try to vent personal spite,
but who will exercise his knowledge
Tor the benefit of the whole city. We

will be cleaned off to allow the children
0 get to school without wallowing
