GEORGE R. DAVIS DEAD.
Heart Failure Closes the Career of
the Director General of the
Worlds Fair.

Chicago, Nov. 2T.-Col. George r.
Davis, most prominently known for his
official connection with the worlds fair
as director general died at 10: Is o'clock
Saturday night in his home, 692 Wash
ington boulevard. For two weeks he
had been gradually growing weaker
from palpitation of the heart. At times
he suffered much, but his end was pain
lass, as of one falling asleep.
tMr. Davis was born in Palmer, Mass,
January 3, 1910. of Welsh-Scotch parents.
In 1860 he graduated from Williston acad-
emy and spent the next two years In busi-
ness with his father in Springfield, Mass.
At the outbreak of the war he enlisted
and went to the front as captain of COM
pany H of the Eighth Massachusetts,.
After serving with distinction he accepted
a commission with the Third Rhode Is
land cavalry, and later he was promoted
to the position of major. At the close OF
the war he became attached to the head
quarters of Gen. Sheridan, and he was
made superintendent of railroad, river and
ocean transportation. He was in the In
dian campaigns of the west in 1868 and fol-
lowed Gen. Sheridan to Chicago, where in
1871 he resigned to accept the management
of the interests of several eastern insur
ance companies. Carter H. Harrison de-
feated him for congress in 1876, but two
years later Mr.. Davis was elected. Twice
thereafter he was reelected. When he re-
tired from congress in 1884 he still con-
tinued to be a member of the republican
national committee and of the national
executive committee. 1t was his intention
at that time to retire from active politics,
but he was persuaded to make the run for
county treasurer and was elected. Then
he became identified with the preliminary
plans for the Columbian exposition and was
selected in 1890 as director general No
one ever disputed his peculiar fitness for
this position, and his success made 1t for
u tha iper nft,f ofh ie fa.

LOSS OF THE MAINE.
Government OHcinIs Finally Get
Facts Regarding Destruction
of the Battleship.

Havana, Nov. 27.-United States Off
cials, after months of secret investi-
cation, have discovered that the battle
ship Maine was blown up by gun cotton
torpedoes planted in the bay for the
purpose. The gun cotton, 700 pounds
of which was used, was sent from Bar
celona to Admiral Manterola, COM
manding the port of Havana, and was
either stolen from the magazine where
the stuff was stored or taken away with
the knowledge of the officials in charge.
Admiral Manterola's records will un-
doubtedly show the names of his sub
ordinates who had direct control of the
explosives, and in that way the identity
of the authors and the eXecutioneIs of
the plot to destroy the Maine may be
discovered Two or three men We're en-
gagged in the destruction of the Maine.
A steam launch of Spanish make and
now used by the United States govern
ment in Havana harbor conveyed the
two torpedoes, according to the new
evidence, to a point within few feet
of the berth of the Maine and anchored
them. The torpedoes were kept in po-
sition by means of buoys foated IL feet
under water and ten feet above the
anchors used to prevent them from be-
ing swept away. The torpedoes were
exploded by contact with the keel OF
the Maine as she swung at anchor.
