Illness OF Many Days.

Washington, Feb. Cool. James A.
Sexton, commander in chief of the u.
A. r., ex-postmaster of Chicago, and
member of President McKinley's war
investigating committee, died at 1913
o'clock Sunday morning. His death oc-
Cured at Garfield hospital, where he
has been sick several days. Col. James
\. Sexton, soldier and successful busi-
ness man, has been a lifelong resident
of Chicago. lie has held high govern
ment positions and was always prom
inent in the Grand Army of the Re
public, being elected commander in
chief of that organization last year.
Col. Sexton was one of ChicagoSs1nost
conspicuous public men. Without in
any way sacrificing important business
interests, he filed many offices credit
ably. lie was postmaster, presidential
elector, Lincoln park commissioner,
colonel in the Illinois national guard
president of the board of trustees of the
Illinois soldiers and sailors home and
in the days of the civil war successfully
lieutenant, captain. major and colonel
in the armies of the Tennessee and the
Cumberland. In less public capacity he
was commander of the grand army, de-
partment of Illinois, aud later of the
United States, an active member of the
Union Veterans league, and Of the Mill
tary Order of the Loyal Legion. He

James 4. Sexton, who died in Washing
ton early yesterday morning, will ar
rive in Chicago at nine o'clock tonight

Cincinnati. Feb. Capt. w. c. John
son, senior vice commander in chief of
the G. A. r., is the head of the firm of
johnson Bros Hardware company in
this city. Under the constitution he
becomes the acting commander in chief
at once upon the death of his superior
and continues as the acting commander
iE chief until the vacancy is filed. The
national council of admins tration, con-
sisting of As members, one from each
state department has full power for
filing all vacancies. This body may
elect Capt. Johnson or any other mem
Der of the order While it is thought
that Capt Johnson will succeed Col.
Sexton, yet there is no certainty on that
matter until the national council of adj
ministration meets. Since the organi-
Zation of the G. A. II. in 1866 there have
been 81 commanders in chief. Eleven
of them are now dead, but Col. Sexton
is the first that died in Office and his
death brings about a condition for
which there is no precedent.
