TO SUCCEED MIR. WHITE.

BERLIN, September 13.-The foreign o.
fee has received from the German am
bassy at Washington a memorandum of
inquiry made by Secretary Hay as to
whether 1t would be agreeable to receive as
ambassador, in succession to Mr.. White,
Charlemagne Tower. the present United
States ambassador at st. Petersburg; Bel
l1my Storer, now United States minister
at Madrid. or David ]. Hill, assistant sec
retary of stats.
The foreign Office has Instructed the Ger
man charge daffaires to say that any one
OF the three b acceptable. The impression
here Is that Mr.. Tower Is the most likely to
be appointed. Submitting a list of names
instead Of single name L. quite outside OF
diplomatic custom. Usually only one name
10 proposed. Mr. White returns from Switx-
erland next week. and win probably remain
here until he presents his letters of recall
to Emperor William. His retirement has

A Thorough American.

w
Il have known Governor Shepherd for
many years-in fact, ever since 1864.
He was giant in physique, with a bril-
liant intellect. If he had enjoyed the ad-
Vantages Of q college cauise and ente red
into political life he would have attained
high position as a statesman. He was a
thorough American, patriotic and proud of
his country and her institutions He had
great faith i'll the future of Washington,
and when he came into political power at
once entered upon scheme of improve
ment so broad and comprehensive as to
startle those who had been content to let
the nations capital grow slowly from nat
ural causes.
His idea was to do so much work, SO
rapidly and at such large expense that
Congrs IS would assume the debt and tree
the District from it. L have heard him
speak of it many times.
He was opposed. Public excitement was
created. Investigation followed. The work
stopped, but not until many of the people
saw what a beautiful city could be made by
a continual development of the plans of the
father Of his country. He lost his for
tune, but his fame has not expired He
rendered great service to this city, and de-
serves a monument. Let us build enc to
him and show our appreciation of a man
who was generous, kind and able; who led
the way out Of sluggish past into wonder
ful opportunities and improvements. L will
gladly help in securing any memorial that
may be decided on

who are created by great emergencies.
Washington needed such a factor in the
equation of her redemption, and Shepherd
appeared in response to that Imperative
demand Just as L. S. Grant emerged
from obscurity in 1862 to neutraliZe the
biunders and utilities of his predecessors
and to rescue the Union armies from the
slough of despond, so did Shepherd, ten
wears later, infuse his formidable person
ality into the hitherto blighting imbecili-
ties of the situation. Opposed, and stub
bornly by almost every recognized force
in the community; antagonized by nearly
all the money and the social influence the
city could assemble he stepped into the
arena of Washingtons developments
slim but fearless David confronting the
Goliath of stagnation and stolidity-and
won the greatest victory in the annals of
this capital. To his courage, his address,
his indomitable purpose, and his brilliant
faculty Of organization, we owe the city's
redemption from a killing sloth. He set
in motion the fine ferment of civic pride
which has made this the most beautiful
and gracious capital in all the world. No
stain of selfishness sordid purpose at
taches to his memory. He was as much
the martyr as he was the hero of the
splendid reformation he inaugurated. He
made others rich--especialy his opponents
exiled He built the most magnificent mon
fortunes were devoted to it's cornerstone.
One of the plain people; the legitimate
product of our American institutions, he
become in his time, and will ever remain
in our history, potent and impressive fig

Our Debt to Shepherd.

From the Philadelphia Record
To Alexander r. Shepherd, who died yes
terday in Mexico, the national capital owes
much Of the picturesque beauty and monu-
mental grandeur which now so profoundly
impress cultured visitors. Nearly thirty
years ago the newspapers Of the country
were filled from time to time with highly
wrought and sensational stories Of BOSS
Shepherds'' predatory career as governor
of the District of Columbia But the Boss
of the capital district kept right on In his
appointed task Of public improvement, and
lived to hear his former detractors hall
him as the creator of a new and transform
ed city at the seat Of national government.

From the washington Times.
Alexander r. Shepherd was a remark
able individual. He will be a larger man
in the future than he has been in life, for
he will be appreciated in the perspective
of history. He will be ranked with Wash
ington and LEnfant the builders Of the
American Athens. And in time the people
of the country may erect statue that shall
proclaim his greatness.

His Home Life.
In his home life Gov. Shepherd was seen
at his best. He married a daughter of the
late Col Wn. P. Young. and had seven
chndrer-three sons and four daughters.
The former. Alex r., junior; Grant and
CONFESS, have beer with their father in
the mines, and the daughters, Mrs. Quin-
tard. Mrs. BrOdie, Mrs. Wagner and Mrs.
Merchant. have all married men who have
been associated with their father.
Mrs. Shepherd was with her husband In
Mexico unit! about a year ago. when she
returned to Washington, coming by way of
California. She had been stopping with
her daughter, Mrs. Merchant Both are
now on their way to Mexico accompanied
by the latter's husband DR.. Frank Mer-
chant. During the time of the governor s
activity in the regeneration of Washington
his home at the corner of Connecticut ave
nue. and h street northwest was the scene
of many brilliant entertainments, and some
circles, including President Grant, were mis-
guests. Mrs Shepherd had a grace of
manner that made her a charming hostess,
and she ably supported the governor IN
his generous hospitality.
An Owner of The Star.
When Douglass Wallach sold The Even
ing Star on October 81, 1867, the purchasers
were Crosby S. Noyes Alexander R. Shep-
herd, Samuel H. Kauffmann, Geo. w.
Adams and Clarence B. Baker. Mr.. Shep-
herd held his connection with The Star
until 1874, when he became financially in
yOlved, and sold his interest in the paper
thereby magnanimOusly sacrificing for ;he
benefit of his creditors a property that
would have insured him a handsome COM
petence.
a Street Named in His Honor
When the District Commissioners recently
adopted a system OF nomenclature for the
streets to be opened throughout the District
In the future 1t was decided that one of the
important thoroughfares running east and
west across the entire District should be
named in honor of Governor Shepherd AL
ready a part of what is known as Shepherd
street has been graded and opened through
the Improvement of a subdivision at the
intersection of Connecticut avenue and
Pierce Mill road, known as 'Fernwood
Heights This street will pass through
the Soldiers Home grounds near the main
building and will strike what is now known
as Richmond street in Petworth When
the street is opened through Richmond street
will become Shepherd street. The street will
also run through the American University
heights. and the street in that subdivision
now known as Vallajo street will become
Shepherd street.

VIM. T. Mattingly.


Mr.. VIM. F, Mattingly, attofney-at-law:
Governor Shepherd was no ordinary
man. AS frequently as I have been with
him l was never in his presence that 1 was
not impressed with the force of the man.
1t seemed to emanate from him. His lower
Jaw, broad and square, indicated his strong
character. He is the only man with whom
L ever came in contact who possessed that
rare quality known as personal magnetism.
No one can appreciate what he did for
this city whe'is not fami lar with the Wash
lngton of genera ti4n ago.
He had about completed his great work
IN Mexico, placed Ills mines on a paying
basis, practically 1iqaidated the heavy in
debtedness Of the company, and anticipated
with much pleasure removing his residence
here this fall 60 pass his remaining days
in the city he ieved SO well
Il hope to see monument erected here
to his memory worthy of the forceful, noble
character Of the sman and of the federal
city," sqaT Gs
A Suitable Memorial Suggested.
Judge Kimbaii of the United States branch
of the Police Court was personal friend
of the late Alexander R. Shepherd In
speaking of his death this morning Judge
Il learned of the death of Governor Shep-
nerd with great sorrow, for, with all the
citizens Of Washington, hoped he would
spend many years here and receive the
honors and rewards due him for the great
work he performed In making Washington
the most beautiful city in the world.
He told me the last time I talked with
him that 1t was his desire, after retrieving
his fortune, to again make Washington his
home and end his days here.
Steps should be taken at once to secure
the erection by Congress OF a suitable me-
mortal to this great man. for the whole ma
tion now takes pride in the Washington Of
today and ought to honor the man who
created It,"
~
The Board Of Trade Acts.
The board of trade late this afternoon
passed resolutions expressing sorrow at
the death Of Gov. Shepherd and apprecia-
ton Of his eminent worth and its sense Of
the loss sustained by the District OF Column
bia.
