Mr.. Stewart introduced bill creating
a supreme court for the Philippine
islands, with five judges, who are to
be appointed for life and each of whom

Career Of the Deceased
Statesman.

ST. PAUL; Nov, IS. -Cushman KeL
iogg Davis. Minnesota's foremost citi.
zen. and one Of the most distinguished
figures in American public life. died at
his home in. this city at 8:45
o'clock Tuesday night. No sign
of pain accompanied the approach
of death, and. in fact. the sad inev-
liable came SO peacefully that even the
attending physicians could not assure
themselves of death until three or four
minutes later. Unconscious at the last
Senator Davis did not. of course. rec.
ognize any of those of his family or
friends who stood beside his bed when
the summons came. slight tremor,
a faint gasp, and the man upon whom
the eyes of an expectant nation. be-
reaved city and distressed world were
fixed had quietly passed into the silent
courts of eternity.
Surrounding the bed of the dying
man for some time prior to the sad end
and at it's arrival were the bereaved
wife, the aged and deeply stricken
father. Major Davis; two sisters of the
deceased, Mrs. T. T. Morford of Chi.

Doctors Stone and Lancaster, who had
battled with the disease which claimed
the life of Senator DAVIS several
months ago.
Came with Crushing Force.
The scene at the death. bed was a most
trying one. and the burden of the fatal
summons, though it had been expected
throughout the day, came with crush
ing force to the aged parents and the
stricken wife.
Frank B. Kellogg, a partner in the
law firm of which Senator Davis was
the senior member, arrived at the home
few minutes after the end had come.
All day the dying statesman was in
q state of uncon seriousness. During this
time he had taken scarcely any nourish.
ment, and medicines were suspended
several hours previous to death.
For the past 10 days prior to death,
Senator Davis had been in a delirious
state. with occasional rallies. and for
the past few days had experienced
scarcely a rational moment. Little
nourishment was given him during the
last "a hours of his life and he was
obliged to receive medicine by injec-
tioG. He slept peacefully up to within
a few hours of his death. and met the
end without struggle or indication of
pain. The doctors feared a convulsion
at the last. but this was absent and
death ensued gently and quietly.
