to effect an agreement between the
operators and miners which could be
incorporated in the decision of the
commission, and which would there
fore be binding On all parties to the
controversy.
Mr.. MacVeagh said that he would
not return to Scranton unless the in

GLOWING TRIBUTE 70 REID
CONGRESS PASSES RESOLUTIONS
OF RESPECT.
His Death Caused Profound impress
sion Among the Members-Reed
Honored With Benton, Blaine and
Alex. Stephens djourned Out of
Respect to Their Memories.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The house OF
representatives, in which the late
Thomas B. Reed achieved his greatest
fame and for many years was its most
conspicuous member, paid tribute to
the dead statesman Monday by the
adoption of resolutions of sorrow and
respect.
His death caused profound impress
sion and there was a universal desire
among the members that the house
show a signal mark of respect to his
memory. For the house to take action
on the death of former member had
only three precedents in its history,
namely, on the occasion of the death
of Benton, Blaine and Alexander Ste
phens, when the house adopted resolu,
lions and adjourned out of respect to
their memories. 1t was decided to fol
low these precedents in the case OF
Mr.. Reed. The chaplain at the open
ing of the session paid feeling refer
ence to the death of the eX-speaker
the formal reading of two messetaoin
Resolutions Offered.
Mr.. Sherman of New York then
amid profound silence, arose and in
few feeling remarks offered the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the following min
ute be spread upon the record of the
house of representatives:
Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed died
in Washington, December Z, 1902. Fol
20 years he had been member of this
house; for six years its speaker. His
service terminated with the Fifty fifth
congress. Within this chamber the
scene of his lifes great activities were
laid. Here he rendered services tc
his country which placed him in the
front rank of American craftsmanship
Here he exhibited characteristics
which compelled respect and won ad
miration. Forceful ability, intrinsic
him popular fame and congressional
I leadership. In him depth and breadth
of intellect, with full and well round
ed development, had produced giant
who lowered above his fellows and i'm
pressed them with his power and wis
dom.
"a distinguished statesman, a lofty
patriot, cultured scholar and incisiye
writer, an unmatched debater, mas
ter of logic, wit and satire; the most
famous of the worlds parliamentar
ians, the greatest representative citi
zen has gone into history.
Resolved, That in honor of the dis
tinguished dead, the house now ad
iourn."
When reading of the resolutions had
been concluded, Speaker Henderson
asked if there was any objection to
their present consideration. The 81
lence remained unbroken.
The resolutions were then unani
mously adopted and accordingly al
$12:15 the speaker declared the house
adjourned out of respect to the mem
DRY of Mr.. Reed.

Mr. Mayo will soon go to Boston where
he viii visit the Perkins institution
for the blind, where there are several
wards of the State. He will also 60
to Waverleyf and visit the Home for

that place.
Whether the hearing on the petit
ton of Mrs. Mary f. Barrows for
pardon VIII be had at the next session
of the Executive Council is not known.
The case is really a York county mat
ter and naturally it would be proper
to have the. councillor from that sec
ton present when the arguments for
and against pardon are presented. 1t
is understood, however, that Councillor
Prescott Will not return from his
Mexican trip in season to attend the
meeting of Feb. IS. Therefore it is
likely the pardon case may go over
until the March session.
The recent sale of the Aroostook
Republican recalls the fact that in the
latter part of 1879 the paper was es-
tablished by Hon. S. w. Matthews.
long the commissioner of industrial
and labor statisticsl At the time Mr..
Matthews begun its publication the
county of Aroostook had not reached
the high degree of prosperity which it
enjoys today; and the struggle to
make the paper a success was at times
very hard. The transportation facili-
shipments were delayed many days at
times, causing much trouble and an
noyance. In 1885 when Mr.. Matthews
was appointed to his present position
he sold the plant to Mr.. Hall. who has
built up a fine newspaper plant. The
county has grown wonderfully in pop
ulation and in prosperity, and Caribou
since 1880 has about doubled in popu- .
lation.
