wards, in 1892, was ambassador to
Russia. Mr.. White stands as high in
the educational world, both in the
United States and Europe, as in the
diplomatic service. His work in the
chair of history at the University of
Michigan, at Cornell, and at the STAN
ford university of California has
given him a standing excelled by but
few.
1t was understood before President
Mckinley died that when Mr.. White re-
tired his successor might not be New
York man, because that state was al
ready represented in the embassies in
London and Paris. President McKin-
ley hoped to have western man as one
of the ambassadors, and it was this
argument which resulted in the selec-
ton of Myron T. HerTick, of Cleveland,
as ambassador to Italy. Had President
Mckinley lived Col. Herrick would
have been ambassador to Italy, the
present occupant of that desirable
post, Mr.. Meyer, having been sent to
Rome with the distinct understanding
that he would make way for Mr.. Her
rick. Lately Mr.. Herrick has decided
not to go abroad, but Mr.. Meyer will
come back just the same, because he
proposes to become a candidate for
congress from the Moody district in
Massachusetts,. This will result in two
vacancies, at Rome and Berlin.
If certain arrangements can be
made it is likely that the president
will give Senator Wolcott, if he has
not already done SO, the choice be-
tween Berlin and Rome. 1t is also
possibility that Assistant. Secretary
of State Hill may secure one of the
vacant posts. He is being pressed for
the place actively by some strong
friends. In case he is sent abroad
the present third assistant secretary,
Herbert II. d. PIERCE, n Massachu-
sets man and a warm friend of SEN
ator Lodge, may be promoted to the
position of first assistant secretary.

noted during the address that the
ex-governor threw an unusual
amount of energy and feeling into
his words, and the collapse, the ply
sicians think, resulted from over
straining his physical powers.
Directly after he had finished his
address and was walking off the
stage, his hearers cheering, the ex-
governor suddenly dropped over in
a dead faint. Physicians were sum-
moned, and, after he was restored to
consciousness, he was carried to the
Hotel Munroe, where at midnight he
was pronounced to be apparently
out of danger.
At 1:15 o'clock Wednesday morning
he suffered sinking spell and re-
lapsed into Inconsistencies, from
which he never rallied. The remains
were taken to Chicago during the
day.
Ever since the failure of the Globe
savings bank in 1896, in which he
was involved, Mr.. Altgeld has not
been n well man, and for some
months after the Spalding crash it
was feared that his life was only a
question of short time. Even when
serving his last year as governor his
health was none too good. When it
was learned that he was n victim of

quish His Duties Because OF
Feeble Health.

Berlin, March 17.-With expressions
of regret the newspapers here print
dispatch from Washington to the
effect that Andrew ID. White, the
American ambassador to Germany,
will retire next November.
Washington, March lit has been
generally understood here for long
time that Ambassador White expects
to retire this year from his post at
Berlin. He has been anxious to get
back to his college work, and the un-
Outstanding was before the death of
President Mckinley that Ambassador
White would return for good some
time during the present fiscal year.
Andrew ID. White is recognized as
the most experienced and finished
diplomat in the service of the United
States. His present term as United
States ambassador to Germany began
in 1897, but he served as minister at
Berlin from 1879 to 1881, and after

BRYAN DEpREcATEs HILL.
Not I'm sympathy with the ClouA
Raising Trumpeter of the
Empire State.

Mr.. Bryan considers the latest
epoch-making appearance of Mr.. Hill
in The Commoner and indicates that
he is not deeply impressed thereby.
He has; of course, reasons personal and
peculiar for his lack of sympathy, but
some of his opinions will be pretty gen.
orally shared by his cosntrymen, for
Mr.. Hill has ceased to be novelty as
an epoch-maker. His great speeches
are found always to resolve themselves
into reverberating sound. They are SO
vague and illusory as to suggest the
smile employed in recent review of
a work by Victor Hugo: "When it is
all ended and one looks back it is as il
one tried to recall the shapes and col
ors of an avalanche of clouds seen by
night over wide and tossing sea-"
If Mr.. Hill has not quite all of Hugo's
eloquence he is cloud raiser in his
own way and more given to clangor and
clamor than to sense, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. The famous 81 am a
democrat" never had any meaning. It
was crude clap-trap. And Bryan is
wholly justified in saying that Hills po-
sition on the money question is that of
an artful dodger. The speech at the
Manhattan club at New York is clear
case of dodge itself, and it recalls the
time when most of the politicians were
lodging and Hill was trying to be the
most artful of them all.
He then discovered the expression
Stree bimetallic coinage" and used it
in one of the epoch-making addresses.
1t was considered very pretty patent
by the Hill claque of that day, but tho
people are not captivated by mere eva
sion. and even the politicians have out
lived evasion on the money question
since straight issue was made of it.
When the ex-senator speaks now Of
declaration Gin favor of the general
principle of bimetallism" he talks like
a ghost suddenly sprung upon us out
Of the dead past.

Joliet, ILL.,, March 13.-Former Gov.
John p. Altgeld died here Wednes-
day morning at 1909 o'clock. He had
been unconscious since midnight. The
cause of death is given as cerebral
hemorrhage, there having been an
apoplectic seizure of the brain.
Mr.. Altgeld came to Joliet Tuesday
afternoon, having been widely adver-
tised as the principal orator for the
big Will county pro-Boer meeting in
the evening. He confessed that he
was not in the best of health, having
been troubled with some apparently
simple stomach ailment. He was not
willing to allow that to interfere
with his speech, however, his great
interest in the South African strug-
gle having been heightened by the
announcement of the Boer success in
the capture of Gen. Methuen. 1t was
