OF Public BUILDINGS.


Washington, oct. 22.-The president
this afternoon issued the following
proclamation:
In the fullnesS of years and honors
John Sherman, lately secretary of
state, has passed away.
Few among our citizens have risen
TO greater or more deserved emfnence
in the national councils than ne. The
story of his public life and services is
as it were the history of the country
for half a century.
In the congress Of the United States
he ranked among the foremost in the
house and later in the senate. He was
twice member of the executive abb
net, first as secretary of the treasury
and afterwards as secretary Of state.
Whether in debate during the dark
hours of our civil war, or as the di-
rector OF the country's finances during
the period of rehabilitation, or as a
trusted councillor in framing the ma
TONS laws for over forty years or as
the exponent Of its foreign policy. his
course was ever marked by devotion to
the best interests of his beloved land
ana by able and conscientious efforts
TO uphold its dignity and honor His
countrymen viii long revere his mem
DRY ana see IN him a type of the pat
riotism, the uprightness and the zeal
that GO to moulding and Strengthening
a nation.
In fitting expression of the sense
OF bereavement that affiicts the repub-
lie 1 direct that on the day of the fu-
neral the executive offices of the limited
states display the national flag at half
mast and that the representatives in
foreign countries shall pay in like
manner appropriate tribute for the IL
lustrlous dead for ten days.

French government since the original

cancy in the senate. In 1851 he served
for several months as Governor Patter-
sons aide-de- camp, reSuming his seat
in the senate at the request of Lincoln.
He raised and equipped at his own ex-
pense two regiments OF infantry, a
squadron of cavalry and a battery of
artillery.
Sherman was prominent in the finan-
ciaI legislation at the time of the war
He proposed the refunding act of 1870
He initiated the movement for the re-
sumption of specie payments, ana in
1877 was appointed secretary of the
treasury by President Hayes, in which
capacity he carried out the resump-
ton.
In 1880 Sherman was candidate for
president, being nominated in the Re-
publican convention by James A. Gar
field, who himself was given the honor
lie was candidate at successive con-
ventions, but died disappointed in that
ambition. He retained his seat in the
I United States senate, and was the par
ent OF the Sherman silver purchasing
act
When Mckinley was elected Sherman
was still senator. The seat was wanted
for Mark Hanna, and Sherman was
given the position of secretary of state
in MckinleyS cabinet so as to leave a
vacancy in the senate. The position of
secretary was held only nominaIly,
however. The powers were uSurped at
hlckinley'S behest by Assistant Secre-
tary Day, and the real secretary was
laid on the shelf. His views were given
no consideration by the administration.
This Stung him so that he finally re-
signed, and the trea tment he received
is believed by his friends to have done
much in Fastening his death, which has
been fOreshadowed for some time by
the failure Of his powers. Since his re-
tirement he has lived quietly. The

half an hour upon the issues of trusts

OF his handling of the latter topic was
the emphasis which he placed upon the
BOer question. Mr.. Stevenson took the
ground that President Mckinley could
not have exceeded the bounds of in
ternational diplomacy in intervening in
behalf Of the Beers any more than
Cleveland did in the stand he took in
behalf of Venezuela, and expressed the
opinion that the effect on England

HODSON DECLARES THAT ADMIRAL
SAMPSON IS DYING or A BROKEN HEART

Atlanta. Ga. Oct 22-During his
present visit to his home in Alabama,
and wherever he has appeared before
the public, Lieutenant Richmond P.
Robson has been quoted as saying
that Admiral Sampson is dying Of a
broken heart. owing to the Sampson
Schley controversy which followed the
naval engagement at Santiago. He is
quoted as follows:
When last Saturday, Oct. b. I saw
IN the papers that Admiral Sampson
was i'll, l took the next train to Boston
and spent Sunday with him. His health
is declining His physicians are baffied
at his malady. His organs are all
right, but his health does not improve.
We touched on one or two subjects.
For little While he could not speak.
Soon he had TO be carried to his room,
and l did not see him again. Mrs
Sampson told me that this great man
was brooding, was breaking his heart
at the thought that his fellow coun-
trymen were so unl<ind.
L said to Mrs. Sampson: When
visit my southland, if the opportunity
offers itself, 1 wish to tell them some

sampson had not received simple jus

HANNA CROWDS OUT
ThrOng Hears Fitch DenOunce
w. J. Bryan.
USED FIERCE INVECTIVE
GEORGE SUTHERLAND ON THE
SILVER ISSUE.

An audience that filed every seat on
the main floor and in the first two gal
leries assembled in the Theatre last
night to hear speeches by George Suth-
erland and Tom Fitch The crowd in
the main sympathized with the orators,
but occasionally Mr.. Fitch became so
abusive in his denunciation of Bryan
that even the Republicans couIdn' I
stand it and the silver-tongued was
Missed with some profuseness.

OF the meeting than at the beginning.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-10-23

Whether il was the wearisOme length
to which Mr.. Fitch extended his re-
marks or a slam at some former silver
Republicans by the GIee club will never
be known Certain it is that people got
tired with considerable spOntaneiety
and left the house by squads.
Governor Wells, who presided, and
Mr.. Sutherland, who spoke first, both
grew weary. One read a campaign leaf
let handed TO him for diversion by Mr.
Callister and the other glanced earnest
ly through a long letter. The Glee club
gave three selections The first is said
to have been written by Callister spec
tally for the occasion and the burden
of the refrain was The sheep upon a
thousand hills Will sing a merry lay
Later the choristers delivered them
selves of a piece wherein they recited
that they had voted for Mckinley in
1896 and were glad of it. Such gentle
men as Judge Charles c Goodwin,
George Sutherland, Governor Wells,
CaIlister, Colonel Squires and Arthur
Pratt who sat upon the stage and who
voted against Mckinley in 1885, blushed
rosily at the allusion to their incon-
stancy.
Sutherland On Silver.
Mr.. Sutherland, after being intro
duced in fiOWery style by Governor
Wells. announced that he was going
TO discuss the silver question. He didn t
DISCUSS 1t very nara alInOuSn the audi
ence waited with an anxiety that was
almost painful 70 hear what he would
say in defense of the gold standard. He
freely confessed that the Republicans
would not pass a free coinage law, but
urged his hearers to support a bad
thing because the Republican platform
had distinctly declared for il and every
body knew where it stood.
The Democratic party had come out
for free silver, Mr.. Sutherland admit
ted, but it had not made that question
the paramount issue and he declared
that the party, if given power. would
not pass a free coinage act. From this
premise he argued that it would be bet
ter to support an organization which
the voter knows viii act against his
principles than to support one which
he believes is not sincere in its profess
sion of right things.
Fitch did nothing but denOunce Mr..
Bryan. With all the inVective he could
command, not even emitting at times
the use of profanity, Mr.. Fitch painted
the Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency so black that the devil himself
seemed white by comparison. That was
announced at the outset that he would
not attempt to discuss the tariff free
silver, Imperialism or any of the other
campaign issues.
Governor Wells introduced Suther-
land in a most eUlogistic speech. He
wished to bear his testimony that no
mistake had been made in forcing the
nomination on the apparently unwilling

TWO RIOTS AT wILKEsBARRE
Women and Boys Fight-Shots Are
Fired.

Fired.
WiIkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 22.-The Stan
ton washery Of the Lehigh 6. Wilkes
barre Coal company in the wyoming
valley was the scene of two clashes to-
day. This has been the first trouble of
any consequence in the Wyoming val
ley. The strikers did not interfere with
the men at work, but on Saturday
night, while the men were returning
from work. they were intercepted by
the women, who stoned them.
This morning when the employees
started for work they were met by a
large body Of the women and boys, who
ogain began to stone them. James
O'Hara, the foreman of the gang, was
struck on the head, bu- not seriously
injured. The mob took the tools away
from the men and broke them Several
shots were fired, and some of the work
men fed. Coal and iron policemen were
present but they did not use their fire
arms for fear of shooting the women.
The workmen finally left the place for
their homes, and no attempt was made
TO resume operations at the coIliery.
The police found an efigy of O'Hara
hanging to a telegraph pole.
This evening there was another riot
at the Stanton washeries of the Lehigh
< WilkeSbarre Coal company. When
the men started TO go TO their homes
under the protection OF cCal and IRON
q
The men who had been at work were
put on a small mine locomotive but
before the locomotive could get under
Roadway some one fired. The police re-
turned the fire, but no one was struck
Another volley from the windows OF
some houses followed. Every pane of
glass in the cab of the locomotive was
broken, but no one was wounded. Two
OF the WOrkmen on the locomotive
jumped off and were knocked down and
kicked, but were rescued by the po-
lice.
As the officers We're returning 10
headquarters the electric car on which
they rode was stoned. All the windows
on one side Of the car were broken. and
Police Sergeant Hall and two other
passengers We're slightly injured.
Mayor Nichols soon reached the scene
and warned the mob that they were
doing the cause OF labor more injury
than good. He said the law would be
upheld, and that he was there TO help
uphold il. The mayors speech had a
good effect, and the mob slowly dis
persed TO their homes.

IN 1885 a congressional committee was
appointed to investigate the conditions

committee took testimony and Sherman

political career. He became known as
