COL. SHAW DEAD.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Rspresen-
tstive Albert D. Shaw of Watertown,
n. Y, formerly commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, was
found dead Sunday morning in his
room at the Riggs House. A physician
summoned Immediately after the dis
covery of the body pronounced death
due to apoplexy, probably about two
O'Clock in the morning. Col. Shaw had
returned about 80 from banquet at
the Ebbitt House in honor of his sue
cessor, Gen. Leo Rassieur. Before he
left the banquet hall, he had responded
eloquently to a toast and appeared in
excellent health and spirits. The body
was discovered lying face downwsrds
on the floor, The features were slight
ly bruised, showing that he had fallen
suddenly and heavily. After his return
to the hotel COL Shaw asked for hot
water, complaining of indigestion.

Swindling the State.

In an editorial article bearing this
title the St. Adams Messenger says:
"This is the time when the select
men of Vermont towns and the alder
men of Vermont cities are figuring
backwards and forwards, upside down
and wrong side out, cross ways and
end ways, side ways and always, to see
if they cannot doctor up the liquor
agency accounts and prevent any of
the profit from going into the State
treasury as required by law. The law
says that all over ten per cent profit
from the sales of liquor by city and
town agencies shall be paid into the
State treasury.
The contemporary denounces the
law as absurd, and proves this in a GER
tain way. Whether the Messengers i'm
parchment of town and city officials,
all and singular, is sustained by the
facts, the JOURNAL cannot tell, and
probably the Messenger cannot. What
the law "says" ID this:
If upon the annual settlement of a
town or city liquor agency by the au-
dtors there is found balance in favor
of the town or city in excess OF ten
per cent of the total sales of liquor for
the year, said excess shall be paid into
the State treasury by said town or city.

One Shall BE Taken and the Other
Left.

The people of the United States will
approve the Presidents promotion Of
General Miles to the rank of lieuten-
ant general and the command of the
reorgauized army. A volunteer raised
to that office, man who laid down the
yard stick and took up the musket in
the defense of his government when
the South rebelled, who on his merits
as fighter and commander rose to
the rank of major general and won his
later advancement, presents another
inspiring illustration of the possibilities
open to American youth who discern
and improve their opportunities. The
people have no part or interest in the
squabbles or animosities of official
cliques. They know General Miles as q
volunteer soldier, winning his promo
tions by his soldierly abilities and SER
vices in the war for the Union, in des-
perate Indian fighting and the nicer
practice of Indian diplomacy, and they
are glad to see this volunteer at the
head of the new army.
General Chaffee's promotion to q
major genereralship is the advance
ment of another volunteer officer who
has risen from the ranks. He is
jumped over the heads of several off.
GERS his seniors in service, but his pro-
motion is merited, He is born SOL
der of the American type-brave,
hardy, tireess, resourceful, discreet
schooled in Indian war, and, in the
Cuban campaign, the hero of the des-
perate conflict around Ell Caney.
The grade of major general cores
ponds very closely to that of rear ad-
miral in the navy. The deserved adj
vancement of Gen. Chaffee serves to
call attention again, and sharply, to the
irony of fate in the rewards the gov
eminent meets out to its faithful SER
wants. Gen. Chaffee's services in the
army, from any point of view, brilliant
and deserving as they are, cannot be
compared with those of Captain Clark
In the navy, but the latter's rank is
still about that of colonel in the Army,
with the disadvantage that he has
been put back three grades in the Or
der of the precedence of officers elig-
ible for promotion. His chances of
reaching higher rank, in the ordinary
course of promotions to which he has
been doomed, are not 80 good by the
net amount of two-the death of Cap
tain Gridley improving his chances by
one-as they were before the war with
Spain. The Republic is not migrate
full, but something is wrong il official
dom at Washington. What is it?

IN CHINA.

PEKIN, Feb. 9.-The more widely
known the demand of the foreign en-
voys become among the Chinese the
more the belief spreads that the court
will not accept them, especially the de-
mand for the punishment of Tung Flu
Hsiang, who practically controls the
whole Chinese army, apart from the
troops with the court, and who is now
in the province of Nan-Su. With
Prince Tuan, he would be able to hold
out for an indefinite period. The opin-
ion is gaining ground among the gen.
erals that possibly spring campaign
against the province of Shen- 81 will be
necessary.
More than 10000 Mohammedans
have reappeared in Pekin during the
last four weeks with the object of Gre
ating disturbances daring the Chinese
celebrations at New Year. The Ger
mans have accordingly issued an order
that no one shall walk alone and no
one go unarmed. The order directs
the German troops to search all Chi
nese and never under any consider
alton TO enter Chinese private houses
on invitation unless in considerable
numbers.

In Congress.

The last session of the fifty.sixth
Congress is nearing it's end. Except
ing the army reorganization bill, the
leading m easures of the session are
still pending and their fate is still mat
ter of doubt.
1t is not quite certain that the at
tempt to force a vote on the ship sub
sidy bill by holding night sessions last
week has improved the chances of that
measure. Its supporters still express
confidence that it will be passed at this
session, and it is known that negotia-
tions are going on looking to an agree
ment to set time to take vote, but
its opponents are still outwardly put
ting up stubborn opposition The
real trouble seems to be that some of
the Republican Senators decline to con-
slider the bill a party measure. They
are not opposed to it, and if the bill is
voted upon they will probably vote for
it. but they are not actively trying to
get it to vote, and to that extent are
playing into the hands of its opponents.
There is considerable talk of the river
and harbor bill being used as club to
force the opponents of the shipping
bill to allow it to be voted upon. 1t
cannot be positively stated that this
will be done, but it is fact that the
river and harbor bill has not been re-
ported to the Senate, and when Senator
Mcmillan, chairman of the commerce
committee, which has charge of it, was
asked when it would be reported, he
replied: swat until the ship subsidy
bill is out of the way and l will tell you
more about it," Another Senator ex-
pressed the opinion that il the shipping
bill failed, the river and harbor bill
would either fail or be cut in half.
Senator Spooner has offered an
amendment to the army appropriation
bill, embodying the views of the Re-
publican Senators and meeting Presi-
dent McKinley's wishes as to legisla-
ton providing civil government for the
Philippines. 1t is short but compre-
hensive, giving the President authority
"for the establishment Of civil govern
ment and for maintaining and protect
ing the inhabitants of said islands in
the free enjoyment OF their liberty,
property and religion; provided, that all
franchises granted under authority
hereof shall contain a reservation Of
the right to alter, amend or repeal the

Kansas.

Perhaps prenatal influences have left
their strong mark on the State. In the
conflict between Free Soiler and Bor-
der Ruffian, a type was developed
somewhat like that of Cromwell's men,
as great at holding forth as at shooting.
Begotten of the Bible and Sharp's rifles,
Bleeding Kansas still keeps the traces
of the fierce zeal, the unbending con-
seriousness of righteousness and the
fighting temper of the earlier time.
An excitable, enthusiastic, proselyting
disposition seems common in it. There
is an immense amount of spouting and
ranting, much or most of it sincere.
Eccentric and picturesque individuals
abound, such as hung about the skirts
of the anti-slavery agitation. Talk aud
action have sharp angles. The biz
zard is blowing always in the brain
Around the common sense of the ma
jority OF the people, the thunder Of the
crank minority is always muttering OF
booming. 1t will be remembered that

DILLINGHAM.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The speech
by Senator Dillingham; before the 10y
al Legion of the District of Columbia,
at its annual banquet, has been highly
complmented.
This Commandery contains more dis
tinguished men of the army and navy
than any other in the country, and its
annual banquets are red letter events.
The most eloquent members of the
House and Senate are invited to re-
spond tn toasts and the attendance AL
ways reaches " Il into the hundreds
The toast pended TO by Senator
Dillingham; wa: 1.-THE Twentieth G u
tury," and he spoke just before Mr..
Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. Senator Dlliug-
ham was expected to make some com
parsons between the achievements of
the last century and the prospects of
the prese Mt century. He told his at
tentive audience that nothing great was
accomplished,witbout contest, and al
luded, in illustration of this, to the
struggles by which Christianity had
spread over the world. The compact
made aboard the Mayflower, which be-
came the basis of long struggle with
the forests and aboriginal foes of New
Eng and, was likewise referred to in
eloquent terms by Mr.. Dillingham; hs
the product of race of sturdy men,
who dominated in affairs for many
years, and whose influence was felt
still.
He touched on the Revolutionary
war and its results in establishing a
constructive democracy, whereas the
governments of Europe up to that time
had been built on destructive princi-
pie. Mr.. Dillingham; spoke Of the era
in which Abraham Lincoln figured. In
applying his speech to the present con-
ditions he brought ringing applau g
from his hearers. He declared that the
doctrine the equality of all men was
still forceful and that our inherent c.
pacity for government would extend
to the islands that had been conquere d
in the war with Spain. The people il
habiting them would be given free gov
eminent, like our own, but time would
be required to work out such con
summation.

Abraham Lincoln.

Man Of the masses, rugged, grit with power
To lead his people in their trial hour,
Born of the soil he trod with weary feet,
His purpose one which never knew retreat,
Out of life's murk and mud, its dearth and
dole,
Blossomed the fragrance OF this matchless
soul,
Its name prsmatic now on glory's roll.
Unlettered, not unlearned, his earlier ways
Led through privations rarely trimmed with
praise;
A man Of sorrows and acquaint with grief,
His life rough, rude, without rest or relief,
He linked that life to Heaven and all its
stars,
And saw his country's wrong, blood-red
with scars,
Shriveled TO ashes in the flames Of Mars.
For this he wrought through weary, dresry
years,
Hopes view oft blinded by the blur of tears,
While wrong entrenched grew like giant
strong,
And mid poor slaves the sigh outmstched
the song;
But he gazed forward-though ruled by its
rod
With fearless feet the paths of duty trod,
A seer who pierced the darkness, seeing
God.
Gentlest and strongest OF mighty race,
Thy words revered, we'll loved thy rugged
face,
Thy fame hath mounted on our eagles
wings
And scars above mere monarchies and
kings;
Prophet and priest who made people free,
Hero OF countless MILL ons yet to be,
10 Heaven or ear tn none higher rank than
thee.

IN CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. - An in
creased appropriation for the construc-
ton or rebuilding of the breakwater at
Burlington will undoubtedly be allowed
on the river and harbor appropriation
bill, when it comes from the Senate
committee on commerce. But any
hope of its becoming law at this ses-
sion of Congress is remote. The bill
miitee till it carries something like
$50, 000,000 and Senator Allison and
other leaders that end of the Capitol
are decided that it shall not pass the
Senate this session. The appropriation
for Burlingtonwill, therefore in all prob
ability, have to wait for year. The
trouble is the appropriations are piling
up 30 large that the leaders in Congress
are doing everything possible to keep
them down.
Senator Dillingham; says he still has
some faith that the Senate will act at
this session of Congress on the bill to
tax oleomargarine. There has been
talk of putting the bill as an amend
ment on the agricultural appropriation
bill, but majority of the Senate COM
mittee on agriculture are understood to
be against such a course. Senator
Proctor is doing grand work for the
measure, and Senator Spooner of Wis
consin is cooperating to get the bill
considered. Senator Mason of Illinois,
who was supposed to be an ardent
opponent of the bill, because of the
large oleomargarine factories in his
bone city of Chicago, is now said to be
in favor of it and will not seek to delay
vote.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Hawaiian

violators OF law what they have been
doing and what they must rot do any
longer. The time has come, its au-
thors say, when they must speak per-
emptorily. They no longer seek to
persuade; they command, and the com
mandment is that liquor sellers "must
stop their lawless and iDiquitous buei-
ness, AMI stop it at once" They are
notified that their goods and all the fix
lures and furnishings for carrying on
their business must be removed and
shipped from the city before twelve

that if this is not done measures will be
taken for the rigid enforcement Of the

same" If the Democrats do not fill
buster to prevent, this amendment will
be adopted. An amendment to the
same bill is now being prepared by Re-
publican Senators, naming the condi-
lions under which the President will
be authorized to withdraw our military
authority from Cuba, and will be sub
mitted this week. 1t is believed by Re-
publican Senators that il these two
amendments can be put through, the
necessity for an early extra session of
the next Congress will be obviated, as
the amendment will tell the Cubans ex-
actly what they must do to have the
troops Withdrawn, thus meeting the
Presidents wishes that Congress should
name the conditions.
There is quite tangle in the House
over the Senate amendments to the
revenue reduction bill, and there is a
possibility that it may result in the
failure of the bill at this session.
There seems 10 be virtue in Senator
Chandeliers resolution providing for the
meeting of the fity-seventh Congress
on the second Monday in March, 1901,
and for the meeting Of each future
Congress on the second Monday in the
March following the election Of its Rep
resentatives. 1t appears to meet o
state of affairs which exists at the clos
ing or short session of every Congress
Mr.. Chandler thinks it is wrong to try
to crowd lot of important legislation
besides the regular appropriation bills
into short session, and that it would
be much better always to leave the
general legislation for the new Con
gress, provided the new Congress as
sembled Immediately after the close o.
the old.
Senator Lodge probably came very
near to vocing the opinion of Presi
dent Mckinley when he said "Befor'
the United States can give its approva
TO any constitution, or its recognition
to any independent Cuban government
it must be assured that there is no pos
sibility of any assumption of the CubaI
debts incurred by Spain. We als'
have the right to ask for proper guar
antees in regard to relations of Cub
with other powers and as to places TO
naval stations necessary to the Unite'
States"

1t is announced from Washington
that the President will today renomin-
ate all the officers connected with the
naval victory of July 3, 1898, upon
failed to act. These nominations adj
vance Rear Admiral Sampson TO rank
next after Rear Admiral Howell, the
senior in his grade, who is next below
Admiral Dewey. Rear Admiral Schley
is advanced to rank next below Samp-
son. Schley is the senior of Sampson
in his grade, and the attempt to jump
Sampson over him was what caused
the hold-up in the Senate, aud is the
origin OF what is known as the Schley-
Sampson imbroglio. If the nomina-
tions are again sent in, as announced,
placing Schley below Sampson, it re-
mains to be seen what the action of the
Senate will be. The proposition affect
ing Captain CLARK who commanded the
Oregon was to advance him six num-
bers, while Higginson of Massachusetts,
and the bsttleship of the same name,
who wasn't in the battle at all, was
made rear admiral. 1t was agreeable
to the naval department, at whose head
was a Massachusetts man, to jump
Sampson over Schley, but when it
came to jumping Clark over Higginson
that was another thing, though the lat
ter had rendered no distinguished ser
vice and the world was ringing with
the achievements of Clark and the re.
markable quality as ailor and ca
pacity for command he had exhibited
Six numbers for the Captain who had
earned the admira's stars! The Yer
mont Senators ought to resent the
proposition.
