GLEN MUNROE DEAD.
A Promising Young Life Goes
Out--A LOvable Young Man
Falls on Sleep.

Falls on Sleep.
The death of William Clement
Munroe, Jr., just 81 years of age,
oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
@. Munroe, occurred at their home
on East Centre st. Monday morn
ing at 8 o'clock, after lingering
illness Of many weeks, and though
his demise was not unexpected it
comes with none the less of sor-
row to the fond hearts that loved
him-better than their own life,
and to these, mother and father,
sisters and little brother, in un-
speakable tenderness the sym.
pathy of this community goes
out in their irreparable loss and
abiding sorrow,
From a little boy everyb body
here knew Clem Munroe and
loved him. Gentle, generous,
guileless and good, he grew up
to young manhood with the he>
roic courage of right principles,
loving life but unfearing of death;
for with him "to live was Christ
and to die was gain" Truly from
such deaths do a myriad lessons
to the living go forth to teach
and bless mankind
'Leaves have their time to fall and
flowers to wither at the north
winds breath
And stars to set; but all-Thou has
all seasons for thine own, 0,
Deathi"
The ancient prophet, catching
this truth from the silent sugges-
tion Of nature, repeats to pass
ing generations: s'We all do fade
as a leaf"; and the listening
psalmist prolongs the plaintive
theme:-''As for man, his days
are as grass; as flower of the
fed SO he fourisheth. For the
wind passeth over it, and it is
gone"
We walk in our garden end see
bud hanging its head limp On
the stalk. Alb, the wind has chill
ed it and it will never open now.
Sadly and tenderly we take it off,
ind as we gently open it end
ro,ice how exquisitely It's petals,
just tinged with their colors, are
roEded together, and a faint sweet
ordor escapes, we feel sorry that
tefore it could develop its lowell
ness it must perish. So with this
lovable young man 10 the embrace
of death. The world just open
ing 10 him-a field bright with
promise tor his brilliant intellect
to develop in and achieve success
and honors. But all IN xpectedly
the frost fslls, his strength with
ers, all efforts at restoration are
fruitIess, prayers and tear 8 avail
not, and he fades IS flower, But
hear the ancient seer, as with pro-
phetic vision he sees the coming
time aud sounds the note of glad
ness through all the ages: "Awake
and sing ye shat dwell in the dust,
for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,
and the Earth shall cast up her
dead''; and the exultant apostle
turns hope into assurance-'sfor
we know that If the earthly house
of this tabernacle be dissolved, we
have building of God, a house
not made with hands, eternal in
the Heavens. May this thought
comfort and sustain the christian
parents as they give back to God
the boy Of their hearts who was
the hope of their coming yesrs.
The funeral was he'd on Tues
day afternoon at 3 o'clock
from the Presbyterian church, of
which he was devoted and ex-
emplary member from his early
childhood.

ACANAL SURPRISE SPRUNG
SENATOR MORGAN EXECUTES A SHARP
FLANK MOVEMENT.
HIS COMMITTEE VOTES TO REPORT THE
VORABLY WITHOUT AMENDMENT.

By TELEGRAPH 20 THE TRIBUNE
Washington, March Ex-senator Morgan,
chairman of the Committee on Interoceanic
Canals. made a sharp flank movement to-day in
his fight for the Nicaragua route, and as re-
suit he will probably report the Hepburn bill
favorably without amendment tomorrow. Sen
ator Morgan completely surprised the opposition
by calling a meeting of the committee this az
ternoon and moving without further parley that
the Hepburn bill be favorably reported. There
we're present at the time only six members Of
the committee-Mr. Morgan and Mr.. Harris, Of
Kansas. Democrats. and Messrs. Hanna.
Mitchell. of Oregon; Kittredge. of South Da-
kota, and Willard of Nebraska Republi-
cans When the motion was made Mr..
Hanna, knowing that Mr.. Mitchell would
vote with the Democrats, and that Mr. Kit
tredge and Mr.. Willard would vote with him
NTr. HANNAH against a favorable report, sug
gested that no vote be taken at that time be
cause it was obvious that no conclusion could
be reached. But Mr. Morgan insisted on i'm
mediate action, and TO the somewhat bewilder-
ing surprise of Mr.. Hanna, the Albanian dis
played the proxies Of four other members of the
committee, which he was authorized, he de-
clared, to vote for favorable report on the
Hepburn bill The proxies held by Mr.. Morgan
were those of Mr. Plat, of New-York Mr. Haw-
ley, of Connecticut; Mr.. Turner. Of Washington,
and Mr.. Foster. OF Louisiana. The two last
named are Democrats. The only member Of the
committee not represented Mr.. Pritchard
Of North Carolina, who would have voted with
Mr.. Hanna had he been present. Thus had a
full vote Of the committee been taken IL would
have resulted in seven for the Hepburn bill
and four against it.
While OF course, the advocates of caution and
delay in the isthmian canal matter would have
preferred that report on the Hepburn bill
should be made at this session, they are ready
to meet the issue which Senator Morgans un-
expected sharp turn to-day will prectpitate
and il is believed that Senator Hanna will make
a minority report against the Hepburn bill for
himself and Messrs Kittredge, Millard and
PritchaTd This will serve TO hold the question
in allegiance as long il is desired to postpone
final action. until further investigation OF
the whole canal matter be made the
Senate may direct. Thus Senator Morgans &C
ton this afternoon has not advanced the canal
enterprise much the Nicaragua people
seem TO think tonight, according to the view
of some OF the best informed and most influen-
tia members of the Senate.
The Hepburn bill passed the House the first
week i'm January, with only two dissenting votes

THE GENERAL STAFF PLAN.
SECRETARY ROOT MAKES AN ARGU-
MENT FOR HIS BILL.

Washington March 12.-Secretary Root to-
day made an argument before the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs in support of the bill
creating a general staff and consolidating the
quartermaster's the commssary and the pay
bureaus of the army under one head, to be
known the supply bureau. He said that the
experience of the department in the war with
Spain had determined the wisdom of this con-
sodstion and that it was demanded by all con-
sidera,ions of expediency. efficiency and econ
omy. The creation of a general staff would
give an official standing 10 many army officers
now detailed for special work in the War De-
partment. The work which they are en-
gagged, he said, the preparation of plans for mill
tary operations etc, is necessary in case of hos
Utilities. The committee did not act on the bill.
