 Winsted, Aug. 12.-Hon. Lorrin A. Cooke, governor of Connecticut in 1S97- 9S, died at his home in this town at 12:55 this morning. Death was due to the shock resulting from an operation per- formed Sunday morning for ingestion of tke bladder.
 For more than a year the former governor had been suffering from blad- der trouble and two weeks ago the case became so aggravated that an opera tfon was imperative. Sunday morning the operation was performed and it was then seen by the physicians that the condition of MT Cooke was much more serious than was at first supposed, and he never fully rallied from the effects of the operation.
 Sunday night MT. Cooke was fairly comfortable, and hopes were entertain ed that he might eventually recover Yesterday afternoon he suffered re- lapse. and although he rallied tempo rarily his family physician felt that the end was only question of hours. Ear ly in the evening MT. Cooke became unconscious and remained in that con- dition until his death. Mrs. Cooke and her daughter, together with Dr. Welch, the family physician, were at the bed side when the end came,

longer than any of his present col-
 leagues. He was appointed an assist
 ant justice by President Arthur on De-
 cenber 19 1881, his service extending, therefore, through a period of nearly tWenty-oile years.
 Judge Holmes, whom the president
 has selected as Justice Gray s successor.
 is one of the most distinguished law
 years and jurists of Massachusetts,.
 His career on the bench, particularly as
 chief justice of the Massachusetts su-
 preme court, has attracted wide atten-
 tion. Like Justice Gray he is a native
 of Massachusetts, and is the son of the
 late Dr. Oliver Weldell Holmes. Beverly, Mass, Aug. 11.-Chief Jus-
 tice Oliver Wendell Holmes was in
 formed of his appointment to the Unit
 ed States supreme bench by the Asso-
 ciated Press at his summer home in
 Beverly Farms tonight. He will ac- cept the homer. He was at dinner at
 the time, but left the table at once to
 receive the message. He said: II do not like to be interviewed, but I have
 nothing to say, except that the Associ- ated Press is the first to inform me Of my appointment"
 He was asked if he would accept the honor and he replied: "Oh. yes, shall no doubt accept it.'' ...
 He said that probably his new duties \ will not compel him to relinquish his summer home at Beverly Farms, but further than that he did not care to talk. He did add, however, that he was greatly pleased that the appointment should come to him Washington, Aug. 11.-Justice Gray's resignation was not altogether unex-
 pected. It was recognized that he would be unable to resume his duties on the bench and the general impression was that he would resign at or before the
 beginning of the next term of court in October. His successor, it is said, will not take his place on the bench until after his confirmation by the senate. This Is the unw~itten practice in the case of appointments 10 .he supreme court.
 Justice Gray has been at Nahant, Mass, his summer home, for some time. During his long career on the bench of the supreme court Justice Gray delivered a number of important opinions. He was remarkably exact and deliberate, and frequently spent considerable time in the preparation of his decisions. His speciality was will
 cases, although he participated in the consideration of many of the important issues which came before the court. Justice Gray was with the majority of the court in the decisions in the income tax cases and the insular cases. An other important case of recent date was that growing out of the Spanish-Amer- ican war in which Justice Gray decid-
 ed against the right of the government to seize certain fishing smacks, the
 property of Cubans which the United States authorities believed were giving aid and assistance to the enemy. Judge Gray was always an ardent republican,. Like his successor in office he was chief justice of the supreme court of Massa chusetts before his appointment to the United States supreme court.

 "I want to impress this, that the problems of our powers in the Philip pines involve the very principles that we thought were settled in 1860; that the constitution reached out from the states and covers each person in every land under the sovereignty of the Unit ed States. It is the same battle we have fought over again with the same decision. The problem in the opinion of all intelligent people is now eliminated from our politics.
