He VIII Not Go to Washington Until
First Week in January.

MILWAUKEE,, Dec 19.-Henry c. Payne,
the newly appointed postmaster general,
accompanied by Mrs. Payne. arrived in
Milwaukee from the East tonight. Mr.
Payne declined to be interviewed in re-
gard TO his policy as postmaster general.
lie said the portfolio was the only one on
the list that he would have accepted and
that IL came TO him personally through
President Roosevelt. Mr.. Payne said that
President Mckinley had offered him
various missions during his incumbency,
but none of which he could see his way
clear to accept. Mr.. Payne will remain in
Milwaukee until about the end OF the first
week of January. when he expects to take
his departure for Washington.
In regard 10 statement 10 the effect

whatever in that statement No man in
this Nation will more sincerely rejoice at
my appointment than Mr.. Hanna There
IS probably as close a personal as well as
political, friendship between US as exists
between any two men in the United States
AL this talk OF friction between the Presi-
dent. Mr. Hanna and myself is the sheer

SENATOR SEWELL WEAK
HIS CONDITION LAST NIGHT WAS RE-
GARDED AS CRITICAL.
Death Expected Soon by the Family
General AIger Ill and May I'm
dergo an Operation.

CAMDEN, n. J., Dec. 19.-United States
Senator William ]. Sewells condition is
critical. and the members of his family
fear dissolution will come soon. Two ply
sicians are in constant attendance tonight.
Senator Sewell has been in ill health for
some time. About two years ago he broke
down from overwork. but soon recovered
sufficiently TO resume his many duties. He
did not entirely recover his health, how
ever, and toward the end OF the last ses-
sion of Congress he developed a cOmplica-
tion of diseases. The senator's physicians
realized that he was very sick man, and
advised him to go abroad. He remained in
Europe about three months, and when he
returned his condition showed no improve
ment. After a short stay at his Camden
home he went TO Asheville. n. c., where
he spent two months. and returned to this
city about two weeks ago. He has since
been confined TO his room.
At 2:30 a. m. (Friday) Senator Sewell
very low. His death may occur at any mo-
ment, or, as the physicians say, he may
linger for several hours.

PROSECUTIONS STOPPED.
Probable End of All Antitrust Liti-
CATION I'm Mississippi.

JACKSON. Miss, Dec. 19.-The action of
Attorney General McClurg in dismissing
the antitrust proceedings against the in
surance companies operating in Mississippi
effectually brings TO end all antitrust
litigation pending in the state courts and
renders II likely there will be no further
prosecutions under the Cox law passed at
the last session Of the Legislature until
some attempt is made 10 amend the meas
ure so as to render prosecutions more ef-
fectual. The prosecution of insurance COM
panies was instituted during the admins
tration Of Attorney General Nash and has
never progressed further than the demurrer
stage. There were thirty-One companies
named In the original quo warranto decla-
ration, embracing all having membership
in the Southern Tariff Association, which
has since permanently withdrawn from
business In Mississippi.
