OBITUARY.


WASHINGTON. May 10-Hon. George
Earl, first assistant postmaster general I'M
der Grant, died tonight of heart disease.
Mr.. Earl was descended from one of the
oldest and most influential families in
Maryland. He was born Sept. 10. 1921. He
was a lawyer of prominence n at one time
was a partner of Hon. John A j. Cres-
well, who afterward became United States
senator and member of General Grants
Cabinet. He was a member of the judiciary
committee Of the convention OF 1864 that
revised the State Constitution of Maryland,
which abolished slavery in the State, and
Mr.. Earl. although a slave holder at the
time, advocated immediate emancipation.
In 1869 he was appointed first assistant post
master general under President Grant and
with characteristic energy restored order
to that branch of the public service in the
South, where many Offices had not been re-
opened since the war. After systematizing
the work of the department he resigned
and continued the practice OF his profession
in Washington. In later years he turned
his attention more particularly to literary
pursuits. relating to his native State and
TO unwritten events OF the continental
Congress. His wife, formerly Miss Mary
Chamberlain, of Newark, Del, and six
children survive him.

EngIand,s Prenaredness.

LONDON. May 10.-The Duke of Devon
shire. lord president of the council of min
listers. speaking this evening at the annual
banquet of the Central Association Of Bank
ers. said that while Great Britain's expendi-
lures had been enormous, any less financial
preparedness would have lessened her
chances of amicable agreement with the
United States, France and Russia. Eng
lands ornaments, he declared, had made
arbitration over the Venezuela controversy
possible and had preserved the most
amicable relations with the great republic.
1t would be asking too much TO expect that
all these treaties would lead to universal
permanent peace, but what had been done
showed that Great Britain recognized the
responsibilities resting on her and was will
ing to use her power and wealth rightfully.
