JOSEPH MEDlLL DEAD.
He Was the Distinguished Editor of the
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
San Antonio. Texas. March 16.-Jo-
seph Medill, editor of the Chicago Trib-
une, died here this morning at 1890
o'clock of heart failure. He was con-
scious up to the moment of death,
which he met with calm placidity. He
said to his private physician 10 min
utes before he died:
MY last words shall be, What is the
neWs?'"
He came here three months ago for
his health and has been confined to his
bed only five days. His grandson, Rob
ert r. Mccormick. was with him in his
last moments His remains will be sent
to Chicago at once.
Mr.. Medill was born in New Bruins
wick in 1928. When he was Q years of
age his father moved to Ohio, where
the son worked on a farm, while ac-
quiring an education. He subsequent
ly studied law and practiced for some
time at Massillon. In 1S49 he founded
a free soil newspaper in Coshocton, and
in 1862 established a whig newspaper
in Cleveland. In 1854 he became one
of the organizers Of the republican
party and since that time had been
prominent in it's councils. He removed
to Chicago and in 1855 became one of
the owners of the Tribune. He was a
member of the Illinois constitutional
convention in 1870 and the author of
the minority representation clause, and
in 1871 was a member of the United
States civil service commission. He
was elected mayor of Chicago in the
same year and later spent some time
in Europe. On his return he purchased
a controlling interest in the Tribune
and has since been its editor-ln-c chief

The System of Inquiries Has Nearly the
Same Effect.

The System of Inquiries Has Nearly the
Same Effect.
New York. March 16.-Frank P. Sar-
gent, grand master of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, was before the
industrial commission to-day. He pre-
sented a report prepared by himself
and other chief of railroad brother
hoods replying to- the printed ques-
tions of the commission. This state
ment was suggested by Chiefs Arthur
of the engineers. Sargent of the fire
men, Clark of the conductors, Morrissy
of the trainmen and Powell of the tel
egraphers. 1t covered all the points
involved in the relationship Of en-
ployes to the transportation companies
in a general way. The statement gave
a scale of wages paid to railroad men
in all branches of the service, and it
was stated that the scale was deter
mined by conference with the railroad
managers 1t was contended that while
blacklisting was no longer followed by
the railroad companies, they had adopt
ed a system of inquiries which has
about the same effect as the black
list. Some instances of apparent at
tempts on the part of the United States
courts to compel service for the rail-
road companies were referred to.
There was some complaint of the
long hours required of telegraphers and
yard men, but it was stated that there
was no fault to find on the part of the
trainmen under this heading. The
chiefs united in the expression that the
practice of running trains on Sunday
should be abolished
Replying to an inquiry as to the fore
ing of men to work by the courts, the
railroad chiefs said in their statement
that only one such case was on record,
and this was the one in which Judge
Jenkins of Wisconsin issued an injunc-
ton with that effect. 1t was recon-
mended that some law be enacted to
restrict such powers to the court. They
antagonized the so-called voluntary
insurance features of some railroads
because this insurance was, in fact, not
voluntary, as the men could not get
employment on roads conducting them
unless they allowed the amount of the
insurance to be deducted from their
wages. This insurance also relieved the
employees from liability and the money
| paid in as insurance was lost in case
| of loss of employment. Altogether the
| employees considered, the insurance
| features merely resulted in allowing
| the employer to dominate the actions
| of the employe.
| In New England, Mr.. Sargent said
there is very little Sunday work done
in connection with the running OF
| trains. In the West there is good

encouraging. The inhabitants are en-

progressing under United States pro-

Denver, Colo, March 16.-So far as
has been learned here, the situation is
not much changed at Henson since last
night. The armed mob still hold pos
session of the Ute and Ulay and the
Hidden Treasure mines, though no vio-
lence has been attempted upon either
person or property. The troops which
left Denver this morning passed

MANY SIDE ISSUES,
The samoan Question Under Discussion
by the tnfIirea Powers


by the nfIiren Powers
Washington, March l6,4-As negotia-
tions are now in progress between the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many respecting the kingly succession
in Samoa, any action of the so-called
provisional government that would
tend to force a crisis prematurely
would have mischievous effects. The
German government is regarded as be-
ing particularly solicitous that there
should be no outbreak at this time, but
unfortunately seeks to impose condi-
tons in the pursuit of this purpose that
accepted, would seriously compromise
the alleged rights of both the United
States and Great Britain. Our govern
ment prefers to adhere strictly to the
lines Of the Berlin treaty SO long as
that can remain unchanged. 1t is un-
derstood here that the provisional gov
ernment referred to in the news dis
patches is nothing more than an as
semhlage of some sub-chiefs. and that
even Mataafa, the candidate for king
ship. has not joined it, Meanwhile.
the three governments are somewhat
divided over the proposition to under
take a reopening of the controversy
over the succession to the throne, the
present contention of the United States
and Great Britain being that as the
chief Justice was clothed with specific
authority to deal with this question,
not even the treaty powers have any
power in the matter. This, If support
ed would overturn the German con-
tention that Chief Justice Chambers
decision be dsregarded and a new ar
rangement be effected directly between
the powers. AS already stated, this
whole subject is now a matter of nego-
| tiations and the many side issues in

WILL MAKE NO BARGAIN.
williams Obstinacy May Lead to Hohen-
lohe's Resignation.

Berlin, March 16.-It transpired dur
ing the day that DR.. Lieber's motion
was the result of the negotiations be-
tween DR.. Lieber and Count Won
Posadowski- Wehner and Prince Hohen-
lohe, the imperial chancellor. who both
agreed to recommend the compromise
to the bundesrath. The members of the
bundesrath severely criticize Emperor
Williams hitherto unyielding attitude,
because it arrays the bundesrath
against him in the event of conflict
over the bill.
DR.. Miguel, the minister of finance,
declared privately that his majesty
said that he will not make a bargain
of military demands, which he claims
are the minimum needed. Prince
Hohenlohe is greatly averse to con-
flict, and it is believed that he will Re
sign in that case.

A GREAT CHANGE.
Japan Takes Her Place Among the Mod
.-o,- ern Nations.

Washington, March 16.-Extensive
changes in the relations between the
United States and Japan will be
brought about on July II next, when
the new treaty between the two ma
tions goes into effect. 1t was negoti-
ated some weeks ago, but it's actual
operation was deferred so as to give
time for adjusting affairs to the chang
ed conditions. Similar treaties have
been made by Japan with most of the
other first class powers. The essential
feature is to give Japan status as
a modern nation instead of imposing
the restrictions which she was under,
along with China and other Eastern
countries before her advance to mod
ern methods. The entire eXtrat terri
toral system is swept away by the
new treaties. Another feature is in
opening up the entire interior of Japan
to the capital and enterprise of foreign
merchants.
