Further there has been
every kind Of .calusion possible
with democrats since early in the

Com binations of various kiuds have
been suggested and many Of the
democrats have refused to be a
party to- them, while others have
been prevailed on to enter the con-
spiracy which If successful would
give the democrats an advantage in
the next legislature. There is to BE- q

LIFE GIVEN TO HIGH IDEALS.
Commissioner Ross Would Have Sc
Chosen His Death, Says Dr.. Wood
ward.

DR.. William C. Woodward, the Health
Officer: Commissioner Ross sacrificed
his life to his high ideal of official duty.
Not contented with dlscharging merely
these obligations which are generally
regarded as essential to a Commission
er's office. he listened for years to re-
citals of grievances and distresses and
undertook too often TO afford relief even
at the expense of his own comfort and
health.
'He measured trouble of all kinds
from the standpoint OF the person afflic,
ed and not from the standpoint of
Commissioner, and enlisted himself in
the relief of distress without reference
to the social or financial position OF the
sufferer. Too seldom his callers realized
that his sympathetic countenance ani
kindly words covered a heart and brain
throbbing and aching beneath the Com
missioners proper burdens.
His very generosity prevented him,
too, from finding help in carrying his re-
sponsibilities. as so many do, BY sharing
them with others. Only en- the raresi
occasions and under the greatest stress
of circumstances would he disclose even
A glimpse of the cares which were wear
ing him out.

TLAHUALiL0 MINING
CASE Is ADJUSTED
Gen. Powell Clayton Receivers S., 900 900
From Embezzling Directors, With
Aid of Mexican Government.

As to the other side of the story
against Gen. Powell Clayton, United
State ambassador, to Mexico, it was an
nounced a; the State Department yester-
day that American stockholders In a
Mexican mining company have been
saved heavy losses through his efforts
In a report received at the State De-
partment General Clayton says that
about a year and half ago ;cur direc-
tors of the TIahualilo Mining Company
formed a conspiracy, by which there was
an illegal delegation of the power of
management 20 one of their number.
Having taken this action the company
was looted to the extent of G45, 900 in
bonds and property, amounting in all to
over 100000. The American and Eng
lish stockholders complained and
charged that minor officials of the Mex
lean government were implicated, and
they asked and secured the good offices
of the American ambassador.
Mr.. James Brown Potter, of Chicago,
one OF the directors OF the Tlahaulilo
company, mining corporation, COM
planned to the ambassador and asked
him 10 use his efforts to secure the re-
turn of the property. General Clayton
took the matter up with the Mexican
government, and as a result of his eff
forts the embezzling directors refunded
the entire amount of property taken.

Treasury Officials.

General Spauldins and Mr. Allies. As
sistant Secretaries OF the Treasury. and

PERSONAL LOSS.
Commissioner Biddle Finds Great Grief
in Death of Mr. Ross.

in Death of Mr. Ross.
Col. John Blddle. Engineer Commits
sioner:
THE death of Commissioner Ross Is a
great grief to me. Prepared to like him
by the many kindly expressions of all
about him when 1 first came with the
District, he grew in my personal affec-
tion mere and more as time went on
The quality that chiefly cndeared him
to RE and by which | shall mostly re-
member him was that of a charm which
made his companionship always delight
full, so that It was a constant pleasure
to be with him and to talk TO him His
intimate knowledge of the District GOV
eminent. Congress. and the needs Of
the District. with his legal knowledge
and fine ability. made MS advice of
6reat value, and | sought It almost daily
and it always greatly helped me.
THE public services of Commissioner
Ross are well known and will be long
remembered. A public officer departs
and some one else takes his place, and
the work goes en-. but the personal loss
Is never filled: the friend who dies is
never replaced, and 1t will be always one
OF the pleasures OF my service TO have
been thrown in contact with Commits,
sioner Ross, p I'D cne of my sorrows to
have so early and suddenly lost him"

TRIBUTE OF THE PEOPLE.
An Enviable Distinction Borne by the
Late Commissioner, Says Mr.. Duvall.

Mr.. A. B. Duvall, Cooperation Counsel:
In the death of Commissioner Ross
the District CT Columbia has suffered a
distinct loss. He was without doubt the
most widely known man in this COM
munity.
"Unostentatious in manner and friend
ly in disposition. he gained the affec-
ticn of these with when he came in
contact. An acquaintanceship with him
left the impression of friendship estab
lished. Ee brought to the discharge Of
his duties as Commissioner the train
ing of first-cl2ss lawyer with several
years experience of executive admins
tration In the city postoffice.
Genial. considerate, and attached, to
the rights of the common people. his
personality as the horizon of his official
duties enlarged. developed exactly those
qualities OF restraint which are essen
TALLY necessary in such form of
municipal government as ours.
The natural tendency In our munich
pay government is toward bureaucracy;
removed from direct accountability to
the people and the community. its sue
cessful administration is dependent upon
an ascertainmcnt of ard q proper re-
sponse to the best public opinion. Mr..
Ross had a remarkable and apparently
natural faculty OF asccrtaining this.
"Of the so-called District triumvi-
rate he always had the enviable dis
tinction of being regarded as the 'tri-
bune of the people
For almost twelve years he has
faithfully and intelligently served this
community as one of the Board of Com
missioncrs. During that time he has
considered and. with painstaking care.
has examined every topic OF municipal
concern. He has canvassed these ques-
tions with eight other selected Com
missioners, exclusive of his present as
sociates, and as q consequence he be-
came the repository of the best ira
ditions of the municipality; and his
counsel was the counsel of wisdom
'I knew Mr. Ross we'll when he was
at the bar, and since my connection with
the District government I have been In
almost daily conference with him, and
l know he was actuated by the highest
purposes and followed the most exalted
ideas of duty. His courtesy was that OF
the old school, and his patience was
almost limitless; such a man would
be force and make his impress upon
.-:- community in which he might live,
and the District of Columbia has been
fortunate In being the theater of his ac
tion and the recipient of his services.
THE multitude OF our people who
counted him their friend today are
bowed with grief at his unexpected
departure from us. But his work will
abide, and no history of this municipal
government can be faithfully written
without giving his name large and
honorable place"
A Real Calamity.
Mr.. H. H. Darneilie. the Assessor: II
can find no words to express my sorrow
over the death Of Mr.. Ross. He had per-
sonal supervision over my department.
and in daily intercourse extending over
several years he became more like a
father to me than an official chief.
