I THE GREAT WHITE MOTHER

New, York, Nov. 22.-In the presence
of many representatives of the people
to whom she had devoted her life, the
last rites were performed, Sunday, over
the body Of Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Con-
verse, "tfe great white mother" of the
six nations Of the Iroquois confederacy.
Eulogies were pronounced by the dead
woman's pastor and the chiefs of the
various clans of the Seneca nation by
whom Mrs. Converse was adopted
when but a little girl.
One of the chiefs performed the an
cient rite of "the>passing of the horns, -
which consisted of presenting the
string of sacred wampum beads, the
insignia Of Office to Joseph Keppler,
long ASSOCIATED with Mrs. Converse in
her work among the Indians. By this
act Mr.. Keppler was nominated as the
successor of Mrs. Converse. Mr.. KEEP

years ago, and bears the Indian name

In addition to the delegates from the
six nations there We're present repre-

session is to be brought to an early
close an adjournment probably will be
taken until Friday and then an adj
journment until Monday or Tuesday.
1t is suggested that it is extremely
doubtful if there will be a quorum,
Tuesday, and that if the point of no
quorum should be raised, it would be
impossible to act on a concurrent reso-
luton providing for an adjournment,
even should one be brought over from
the Senate Some of the House leaders
have expressed themselves in opposi-
ton to an adjournment before the Gu
ban bill shall have been disposed of,
but what might be the result of a con-
ference between the leaders of the Sen
ate and House on this proposition, re-
mains to be seen.
1t is possible that the Speaker may
be ready to announce the committee
assignments by the end of the week.
If this is done, the House will be fully
organized and prepared at the opening
of the regular session next month to
proceed to business. Members of both
sides of the House are mindful of the
conventions which are to be held next
year and the desire will be general to
rush the work as fast as possible in
order that the regular session may be
brought to Il close as early as possible.

EMBASSY OF FIRST RANK.
Great Britain May Send Minister, as
Well as Ambassador, to Washington.

Washington. Nov. eft is understood
that upon the arrival here of Sir Henry
Mortimer Durand. the new British Am
bassador the British mission in Washing
ton will be raised to an embassy of the
first rank, and that in addition to an Am
bassador, who will be the personal repre-
sentative of King Edward, the British
Government will send to Washington "a
Minister Plenipotentiary for the transac-
ton of ordinary diplomatic business.
AT the capitals of the great Powers OF
Europe there are Ministers as well as
Ambassadors representing Great Britain.
At the time of his appointment as Ambas-
sador to Washington the late Sir Micheal
Herbert was Minister Plenipotentary at
Paris, where an Amba ssador of King Ed
ward was also stationed.
The decision of the British Government,
which has not been confirmed officially,
must be regarded as d high compliment
to the United States. No other nation
maintains an embassy of the first rank
in Washington. and it was only 10 years
ago that any sovereign or chief of state
raised his or her representative here to
a grade higher than that of minister pen-
ipotentiary, Queen Victoria being the first
to do so by the appointment of the late
Lord Pauncefote of Preston, then minis
ter, as ambassador.

Quilted, but the adjoining one suffered
damage, and from it Mrs. John Ander-
son was removed by the firemen in ar
unconscious condition. The saloon OF
Mr.. Freyler was cleaned out by the
flames. 1t was while directing his mel
/ that Chief Coffin was struck. The
scalp was laid open and symptoms OF
shock were noticeable.
The total loss by the fire is placed al

Representative Ernest w. Roberts,
of Mass, who was born in the upper
kennebec valley, has introduced a bill
to repeal, permanently, the duty on
coal coming in from New Brunswick.
This is intended for the benefit of all
the northern New England states,
which have profited by the repeal of
the duty last winter for one year, ow-
ing to the stringency caused by the
coal strike in the anthracite regions.
Senator Hale has just completed his
