Tangles Caused by Questions OF Pre-.
cedence and Diplomatic Ell.
quette.
Not in many years has official soci'
ETY. in Washington been involved ir
such a tangle as at present. Most Of
the trouble arises from questions oi
precedence growing out Of the bill
passed by congress settling the order
Of succession to the presidency or the
members of the cabinet. Other trou.
bles arise from the creation Of new
offices. In the opinion Of some per.
sons there is badly needed some ofticia
who, like those at European courts
could settle all questions Of precedence
with authority.
The responsibility for many Of the
worst complications lies at the door OF
representatives Of foreign governments
at the American capital. When Mexi'
co raised the rank Of her envoy al
Washington to that Of Ambassador
the diplomat was treated with decided
GOODNESS by his ambassadorial col
leagues. The alleged cause was some
infringement of privileges by the Mex
| lean ambassador, but there was a sus'
picion that his treatment was designed
as protest against the presumption o.
republic in creating an ambassador
Unless within the past year Austria
maintained no diplomatic relation:
with Mexico. This led to many incl
dents in Washington. and indirectly te
sensational episode at gathering al
the White House.
The Mexican ambassador and the
Austrian minister and his wife chancec
| to be guests at state dinner rendered
by the president, and the Mexican en-
vow was assigned to escort to dinner
the wife of his Austrian colleague. The
representative Of Mexico hesitated, bu,
finally went up and offered his arm tc
the lady. She abruptly turned hel
back upon him, walked over to chair
and seated herself. When remon'
STRANGE was made she said:
For me there is no such nation as
Mexico. We do not officially admit Its
existence or that of it's representative
1t is an insult to ask me to go in with
a person who does not exist"
The matter was hastily amended by
readjustment of the table. Not in
frequently. too, personal quarrels have
figured in official entertaining. The
Mexican and Belgian governments are
on friendly terms; but the former Bel
gian minister at Washington conceiv-
ed a dislike for the Mexican ambas-
sador and refused to attend any So

DEATH OF N'NILLAy.
United States Senator for Michigan
Succumbs to Heart Failure.
A SHORT OUTLINE OF HIS LIFE.


Washington, Aug. 11.-A dispatch
was received here yesterday announc-
ing the death Of Senator James Nc
MILAN, Of Michigan, at an early hour
yesterday morning, at his summer
home at Nanchester-by-the
Mass. Death was the result of heart
failure, following congestion after
an illness of a very few hours. The
news came as great shock to his
friends, as when the senator left
Washington shortly after the ad-
journment' of congress he appeared
to be in good health and looked for
ward with much satisfaction to q
quiet and restful summer. For some
years Senator Mcmillan has made his
summer home at Manchester-by-the-
Sea, having erected very fine cot
tage at that place. While no infor-
nation on that point has been re-
ceived here, the expectation is that
his remains will be taken to Detroit,
Mich, and be deposited in the family
vault at Elmwood cemetery. The
body of his son, Capt. John II. Nc
MILAN, who served in the Spanish
war and who died several months
ago, rests there. The senator leaves
a widow, three sons, W. c., Phillip and
Frank, all of Detroit, and daugh-
ter. Mrs. Mcmillan and her daughter
accompanied the senator to Man.
chester-by-the-Sea after the adjourn
ment of congress.
Senator Mcmillan was a native of
Ontario, having been born in Hamil-
ton, Ont, May ~, 1888, but in early
life removed to Michigan and for
many years has been prominently
identified with the business and po-
litical life Of that state, having for .
number of terms been chairman OF
the republican state committee. He
has been Z member of the United
States senate since March 4. 1889.
He was chairman Of the committee
for the District of Columbia in that
body and was also a member OF the

INcENDIARIsM AT PEORIA.
4 Bold Attempt to Fire the Business Por-
tion Of the City-Several Establish
ments Burned.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-The police
and fire departments of Peoria were
kept on the jump yesterday by the
operations of an incendiary. The
torch was applied to five buildings
during the day and though the actual
fire loss will not exceed $4,000, with
an insurance Of about $4,000, the
flames at one time threatened to
sweep large business section.
The police department arrested Ed
ward Flanagan, 20 years of age, on
a charge of arson. They claim to
have direct evidence against him.
Shortly after his arrest the mutter-
ings Of the crowd made it necessary,
as Q precautionary measure, to re-
move the prisoner to the county
Jail for safe keeping. Since then
Flanagan has refused to say
word.
The first fire was started in the
storehouse of the Val Blatz Brewing
company at the foot Of Harrison
street. 1t was extinguished before
serious damage had been done. Fire
was next seen in Dooley brothers
coal sheds, but the damage there was
nominal. Shortly after the noon
hour fire was discovered in Neumil-
ler's livery barn. The flames spread
with such rapidity that 10 horses oc-
cupying the basement floor and all
the rigs were destroyed. The flames
spread to the undertaking establish
ment owned by G. W. OLeary, ad-
joining the livery barn. Then came
an alarm from the Touring mills Of
Horace Clark & Sons at the head Of
Walnut street, two blocks away
from the Neumiller fire. While the
department was fighting the Clark
mills fire an alarm came in from the
residence of Mrs. Reggy in Warner
avenue, where q damage of about
$500 was caused.
The incendiary began his work in
Peoria about April 1 and so vigor-
ously did he apply the torch during
the month Of April that the city
council held a special session and Of
fered a Yeward Of $500 for his cap
ture and conviction. The fire under
writer's association offered an addi-
tional reward of $500. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the reward had
been doubled, he continued his work.
Up to date he has succeeded in suf-
locating and burning IS horses and
causing fire damages aggregating
many thousands of dollars.

THE SUPREME COURT
Justice Gray Resigns and Oliver
W. Holmes Is Appointed.
DUE TO JUSTICE CRAY'S i'll HEALTH
some Of the Opinions Delivered by Justice
Gray While Member Of the United
States Supreme Court-A Few Facts
Concerning Judge Holmes.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt late yesterday after.
noon announced that he had appoint
ed Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes, chief
justice of the supreme court OF
Massachusetts,, to be an associate
justice Of the supreme court OF the
United States, vice Mr.. Justice Gray,
resigned. The resignation Of Justice
Gray was due to i'll health. Several
months ago he suffered q stroke OF
apoplexy, which some time later was
followed by another. He has not
appeared on the bench since he was
stricken the first time. His ad-
vanced age-74 years-told against
his recovery with serious force.
Realizing that be probably never
would be able again to assume the
place which he so long had filed with
distinguished ability and honor he
decided short time ago to tender
his resignation to the president.
With the exception of Mr.. Justice
Harlan, he served on the bench OF
the United States supreme court
longer than any of his present col
leagues. lie was appointed an asso-
ciate justice by President Arthur on
December 10, 1881, his service ex-
tending therefore through period
OF nearly 81 years.
During his long career on the
bench Of the supreme court of the
United States Justice Gray deliv-
cred a number of important opin-
ions. He was remarkably exact and
deliberate, and frequently spent con-
siderable time in the preparation OF
his decisions. His speciality was will
cases, although he participated in
the consideration Of many OF the
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 in
sular cases. Another important
cause Of recent date was that grow
ing out of the Spnnish-American war
in which Justice Gray decided against
the right of the government to seize
certain fishing smacks, the property
Of Cubans, which the United States
believed were giving aid
and assistance to the enemy. Judge
iray was always an ardent repub-
lean. Like his successor in office
he was chief justice Of the supreme
court of Massachusetts before his
appointment to the United States
supreme court.
Judge Holmes, whom the presi-
dent has selected as Mr.. Justice
Iray's successor, is one of the most
distinguished lawyers and jurists OF
His career on the
bench, particularly as chief justice
II the Massachusetts supreme court,
has attracted wide attention Like
Justice Gray he is native of Mas
lie is son and name
sake of Dr. Holmes, the poet and
,ssayist.
