+. DEWITT fALMAGE DEAD.
Noted Divine o Victim OF Brain Trouble
Few Americans Enjoyed His Wide
Popularity.

Washington, April 14.-Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage. the Presbyterian min
lister, died at nine o'clock Saturda-
night at his home in this city. The
immediate cause of death-was inflam-
nation of the brain. He was 20 years
old. He was in poor health when he
started from Washington for Mexico
for vacation and rest six weeks ago,
He was then suffering from influenza
and serious catarrhal conditions.
Since his return to Washington some
time, ago he had been quite ill. I'm
til Thursday, however, fears for his
death were not entertained. :
+ Few American clergymen ever en-
joyed as wide popularity as. Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage. His method of
treating the r.. topics which he dis
cuSsed was homely and 'well-caleu-
lated to appeal to the many rather.
than to. thefew. His. magnetism and
his habit of appealing directly to his
hearers gave him a hold upon their
hearts such as few preachers have
possessed.
With all of his success in the pull
pit Dr.. Talmage was pursued by
singular ill-fortune. Three times the
Brooklyn tabernacle; built through
his efforts when his fame was high
est, was burned to the ground. Each
time the fire took place on Sunday
and in NO case was its cause ever
discovered. After the last fire, which
occurred in 1894, the congregation
broke up and never was brought to-
gether again in such numbers as be-
fore.

Washington, April 12.-SWhile he
was before the senate Philippines
committee Gen. Macarthur attrib-
uted to the good craftsmanship of the
Americans the large proportion of
Filipinos who were killed in battle to
the number of wounded. Senator Pat
terson asked number of questions in
connection, intending to bring out
the fact that the number of killed
among the Filipinos was so much cut
of proportion to the number of
Wounded as to require an explanation.
Replying to Senator Patterson,
Gen. Macarthur said there were few
factories in the islands, but that he
believed the Filipinos were capable
of development as artisans. "They
are successful" he said, wherever
dizziness of touch is necessary. They
t-ke high rank as artists"

How the MarkIe Company Treated the

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 10.-At the coal
commission hearing late yesterday an 49,
year-old Hungarian slate picker employed
by the Markle company said that before
the strike he received IS cents, now he re-
ceived only rs cents day. The company
never notified him Of the reduction and he
still does the same work.
Mrs. Kate Burns of Jeddo told a story
of how she and her two boys worked thir-
teen years to pay off an accumulated
house rent and coal bill due~to the Markle
company. The narration deeply interest
ed the commissioners. She said her hus-
band was an engineer inside the Markle
mines. The husband was killed under
ground, leaving her with four children.

never offered her a penny, but the en-

The attorneys for the miners then con-

presenting ten witnesses who had been
employed by either the Delaware & Hud-

company or the Erie company, who testi-
fed that after the strike they were I'M

This was done to show that the companies
were breaking part of the agreement by
which the strike was ended and the COM
mission appointed. On cross discrimination
it was shown that they had not been re-
employed because they had refused to do
other work. A carpenter refused to do a
laborer's work during the strike; a fire.
boss declined to be sworn as coal and
iron policeman, and another fire-bOss re-
fused to perform the duties Of a fireman.
and others refused to do certain kinds of
work. One fire-boss applied to several

J.L. Washburn at the Head Of a
8 Duluth Company Which Will
Operate the Tract.
Project Is Supposed to Have the
Backing Of Some Big Iron J.
Making Concerns.
Special to The Journal.


Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 1o.--Thes Section
80 Company" has been organized here to
operate the famous section Of that name
on the Vermillion range, supposed to be
the most valuable undevelbped iron ore
property in the world. z. The OFFICERS are
J. L, Washlourn;. president, with himself
and w. D. Bailey and an office assistant
as incorporators. These are supposed to
be figureheads or some unnamed concern
OF magnitude that does not want it's
name mentioned or to- represent some
big exploring syndicate also unnamed.
Much mystery surrounds the transaction
Sc far. which Mr.. Washburnei is not dis;
posed to dispel.
The Minnesota Iron company and its
successor, the United States Steel COM
pany, have been fighting for possession
Of this tract of 800 acres for the past
nineteen years and have just lost all yes
tige Of claim. They are supposed to
have spent 100000 in their litigation, in
various ways. A. M. Miller Of this
the Midway company, his corporations
are supposed to have spent 100000 in
their fights for possession of the land, and
MI Miller had whipped the Minnesota
Iron company when the original owners
stepped into the ring and cleaned out
BOTH
Now the owners have leased undoubted-
~ to some heavy concern, but its name is
not given. It is not supposed that either
the United States Steel corporation or A.
NJ. Miller have anything to do with the
present deal, and from the connection of
Mr.. Washburll with the matter it is gen
orally supposed that the new: company
may be composed of the original owners
themselves possibly with the assistance
Of some outside capital, presumably in
Duluth or in the Ohio iron making re-
gi2ns. ~; ~2= g. -
Mr.. Washburn was the attorney for the

Of the land, and won for them before the
United States supreme court. He is known
! to have good local backing and these
facts are supposed to have connection,
though no statement is given out by any
