WASHINGTON, d. G., Oct, 22.-John
Sherman died at Gas this morning.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Oct, 22.-John
Sherman died at 6:45 this morning.
The venerable statesman passed away
so quietly that those in the room were
not aware of it until so informed by DIR.
Robinson, who was holding Sherman's
hand. Mrs. James r. McCallan, his
adopted daughter and husband, Compton
Sherman, son of the late General Sher-
man, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt, nephew and a
niece were also present.
General and Mrs. Miles had Just left
the house shortly before. At midnight
the senator lapsed into unconciousness
which lasted until he ceased to breathe.
No definite plans have as yet been ar
ranged for the funeral. The remains will
probably be taken to Mansfield, Ohio,
his home, but probably services will be
held here to permit friends to pay last
tribute to his memory, in which case the
president will probably defer his return
to Cantou in order to attend.

States senate rendering valuable service
in strengthening the public credit. He
was appointed secretary of the treasury
in 1877 and secured the resumption oi
specie payment. In 1881 he was again
elected U. S Senator and reelected in
1892. He was appointed in 1897 secre-
tary Of state by President Mckinley
After his retirement from Office. on &C.
count of i'll health, he travelled exten.
sively in hopes of securing recovery of
health. He was n years old.

meeting today it was decided to send an
escort Of honor to accompany the re.
mains of the dead statesman to his home

Loss OF LIFE AT SEA.
erably Lower Than for Pre-
vious Yea

The annual report Of the supervising
inspector general Of steamboats,. which
has just been made public in the form
IF an abstract, contains a highly inter
esting exhibit of the numbers of lives
lost nj sea from American vessels dur
ng the last calendar year, together
with other important correlated infor-
nation. II appears from hisdocument
that the total number ~ persons
drowned, or who came TO their death in
other ways, was 4O4, which is a consid-
cradle increase over the previous year
when the aggregate of fatalities was
1873 less. This increase was due TO the
laundering of the steamer Portland OFT
the Massachusetts, coast during the
great gale on the night OF November -.
1895. Every one of the 1877 persons on
board persisted.
or the total Of i0i 81 fatalities were
chargeable to accidental drowning, 2I3
persons went down with wrecks, Is
~succumbed to fires, 81 were killed In
collisions. "a were the victims Of ex-
plosions or of accidental escape of
steam, and in 81 cases miscellaneous
tauses were reported.
The chapter on destruction of vessel
property shows that A. vessels met with
accidents, seven had fires. 10 were in
collision, eight experienced a breaking
Of steam pipes, two had explosions and
Is encountered snags and wrecks or
developed leaks. As the duty Of the
supervising inspector generals Office is
TO ascertain whether steam vessels have
complied with all the safety require
ments in the matter of live-saying appli-
ances and relative TO the condition of
boilers the report may be considered a
favorable exhibit. The destruction of
the Portland was not due to laxness on
the part of inspectors, but to The reck-
lessness Of her captain, who insisted on
putting out to sea in the teeth of a fierce
storm.
Except for this disaster, the loss Of
life would have been comparatively
small. Only two vessels were damaged
by e~xplosions-an excellent record con-
sidering the extent Of steam water
trafic.-Baltimore Herald.

PLENTY OF APPLES.
This Years Crop Nearly Twice as
Large as That of 1893.
Distribution of the Crop Between
the short States-How the
Fruit L. Handled In
Chicago.

The apple crop this year is twice as
large as that of 1893, according to South
Water street apple kings. Even then
il is but co per cent. of u full crop and
is not TO be compared with the immense
crop of 1896, when apples sold as low as
IS cents q barrel and were so cheap that
no money could be made oil them by
either grower or handler. The quality
this year is also superior to that of lS0S,
with prices in general lower. New York
apples are higher than n year ago, but
that is due 10 the exceptionally fine
quality of this seasons New York fruit.
The distribution of the crop varies, as
it does every year. New York has about
40 per cent. Of Il crop, Michigan so per
cent. of n crop. mostly OF No. 2 apples.
TheNew England crop is light. Last
year the west had none. This season
Indiana has n larger yield than for ten
years past and the piles OF apples on the
cesar floor are bigger than for a long
time. Ohio and Iowa did fairly well.
Illinois has a fair crop OF mediums. Mis-
souri's yield is small and of poor quail
ity. Wisconsin and Minnesota are buy
ers. California did well, MS Gid Canada.
which has about GO per cent. OF n crop.
The Pacific coast is coming up in ar-
pie production. II is not much Ola fac
tor this year, however, on account of
the quantity of fruit raised in the mid
die west and east. In a few years il vii!
be of greater Importance, although even
now il is OF importance in case of a
shortage over the rest of the country.
This year the middle, west and east
are exchanging fruit in a kind Of apple
reciprocity. New York is swapping her
famous greetings, Baldwins, russets.
Grimes golden and spys for western
Jonathans, wine saps and Ben Davis,
especially the latter.
The apple picking season is now over
and car loads Of apples are coming into
Chicago for cold storage. Only the best
hand-picked apples will stand cold stor-
age for any length Of time. Chicago
handles about 80 per cent. of the eggs
in the country, and at least 20 per cent.
Of its apples. II would handle n larger
percentage OF the latter were it not for
the number Of cold storage plants con-
structed throughout the fruit districts
in New York state.
The common practice Of large South
Water street apple men buying apples
varies in different sections. In New
York most Of the apples purchased by
them are bought by the barrel, being
picked by the grower but packed in the
orchard by the commission firms own
packers. a few firms have MS many as
500 men in their employ during the
four to six weeks packing season. But
New York fruit farmers are old hands
at the business, and many Of them pack
