Washington, Oct. 22.-Hon. John
Sherman, former representative in
the house, for long term a member
of the senate, and twice holding cab
inet positions, died at his residence
in this city at 6:45 a. m, in the sew
enty-eighth year of his age. His
death had been expected for some
days, and loving friends gave him
their unremitting care and attention
to the end. The immediate cause of
death was described as brain exhaus-
ton, incident to extreme weakness
due to old age, and to several at
tacks of sickness from which he had
suffered for the past year and half.
Unconscious Since Saturday.
Since Saturday afternoon Mr.. Sher-
man had been most of the time un-
conscious, rallying partially at inter-
walls, when slight nourishment was
given him. Sunday afternoon evil
.dences of the approaching end were
manifest, and he failed to regain
consciousness after three o'clock,
passing away peacefully just after
dawn. About a. m. he rallied some
what from the stupor and turned
himself over in bed, but after that he
gradually sank until the end came.

BRYAN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
The Week Begun by n Speech in the

Rain at Huntington.
Huntington, w. Va, Oct. 22.-Hon.
w. ]. Bryan, the democratic presiden-
tial candidate, joined his private car
at Kenova. Approaching that Mr..
Bryan would find it impossible to COW
err the short distance between Hun
tington and Kenova without engaging
special conveyance, Col. McGraw
sent Col. Bryan's own car to meet
him at the point with special engine.
He was welcomed by the newspaper
correspondents aboard his car.
Mr.. Bryan made the first speech of
his second West Virginia tour in this
city at 10 a. m, talking from a stand
erected on a vacant block. Rain had
begun to fall before he appeared, but
the crowd stood in the rain to hear
him. Mr.. Bryan was received with
loud applause. Before beginning his
speech, proper, Mr.. Bryan referred to
the presence on the platform of a
brother of the late New York banker,
St. John, who, Notwithstanding his
calling, had supported the democratic
ticket in 1896. Taking up the full
dinner pail, Mr.. Bryan attacked the
theory that a well supplied table
could meet all the demands of the
working people.
He also discussed the trusts at
length, referring as usual to the Ice
trust.
Referring to the question of "im-
perialism," Mr.. Bryan declared that
the republican party could not de-
fend it, and was, therefore, saying
there was no such thing.

In March, 1899, while on a pleasure
trip to the French and Spanish West
Indies, in company with a relative,
Mr.. Frank Wiborg, he suffered a Sc

most proved fatal. The ship on which
they were travelling touched at San

to the United States that the we'll

the disease. He rallied, however, and
the family accepted the offer of the
United States government to bring
him back to the United States on the
cruiser Chicago, then in the vicinity
of Santiago, and he was safely landed
at Fort Monroe and brought to his
home in this city. Here he gained
strength, and was strong enough by
summer time to visit his home in

His remarkable vitality brought

Secretaries Hay, Long and Gnge
Pay Tribute to His Memory,

Washington, Oct. 22.-Ex-Secretary
Sherman was known intimately, not
only officially, but personally, to Sec
rotary of State John Hay, ever since
the days Of the civil war, so that nat
urally Mr.. Hay was deeply depressed
at the news of the death of his pre-
decessor in office, even though that
event had been expected for the last
few days. In commenting upon the
sad event, Secretary Hay said:
Secretary's Hays Comment.
"In the death of Mr.. Sherman the
country has lost one of its greatest
citizens, a man whose name was in
separately connected with all the
great events and policies of the latter
half of the nineteenth century, man
not only of extraordinary ability, but
of the most spotless character, and
one whose personality, as well as his
work will always be a model and an
incentive to the youth of the coun-
try"
Secretary Longs Tribute.
The navy department flag will be
half-masted in respect to Mr.. Sher-
mans memory. Beyond this there
will be no official action by this de-
partment. Secretary Long was noti-
fed of the death of his former col
league after reaching the depart
ment. In speaking of the event he
said:
81 can only express my regret and
unlimited respect for Mr.. Sherman.
He was a remarkable man, one of the
eminent statesmen of this country,
and his name will be so recorded in
history. The country owes him debt
of gratitude for the service he rem
dered while secretary of the treasury
in maintaining the national credit on
a sound and conservative basis"
Secretary Cages Tribute.
Secretary Gage said of Mr.. Sher-
man:
For nearly forty-four years Mr..
Sherman had been a prominent inhu-
entail figure in our public life.
Whether as a representative, a SEN
ator or as member of the cabinet, he
was at all times a distinctive forca.
He became secretary of the treasury
at most trying period. He had led
the forces in congress which passed
the resumption act in 1874. AS secre-
tary of the treasury, in 1877, it be-
came his duty to carry into effect the
provisions of the law he had previous
ly, in congress, done so much to in
augurate. In the performance of this
duty he had many difficulties to meet
but he met them with the wise for
sight, the steady courage, and the
calm persistency which the occasion
demanded. History will, I believe,
point to that period as the most
brilliant in his career, and will recog-
nize that, in bringing back the ma
tional treasury to specie payment, on
January l, 1879, he accomplished the
greatest and most useful work of his
long and fruitful life"
