ONE Of HILLS wHlMs.
Death of the St. Paul Globe Is Duo to
One of His Personal Eccentricities
Gould Have Sold 1t.

ST. Paul, April 24.-The demise of the
n whim of j. j. Hill, the railroad mag
nate, who owns the property. 1t is
characteristic of Hill moi to sell any
thing which he is through with, but
destroy it. He did this With his former.
handsome residence, and he is doing it
With the Globe. This is shown by the
fact that yesterday the type from
which the mailing list is printed was
destroyed in The melting pot.
The Globe came into the possession.
of Mr.. Hill by reason of his loaning
money to the former publishers. and it
has been an expense TO him ever since.
il being reported that he has put up
SO 1000 annually for its maintenance.
The Globe has fought his merger bat-
Ties in this. state, ard now that the
fight is ended by the dissolution of the
Northern Securities company. Mr.. Hill
does not care to be bothered longer
With the property. He has never given.
it any personal attention, simply let
ting those in charge do the best they,
couldt and putting up the deficit.
Years g when the property be-
longed to Lewis Baker it was paying,
and m of the leading democratic or
cams of the west. IT is said that only last
week Mr.. Hill was offered $3.50. 900 for
The plant, and refused the offer. He.
is known to have had other offers,
only one or two men in the Office knew
of the decision of MIR. Hill TO chloro-.
form the Globe until the announcement
was made the paper will expire on
April so.

SENATOR PLATT DEAD!
Connecticut Member of Upper House
Succumbs to Severe Attack of
enumOnia.

Washington. Conn. April 24.-United
States Senator Orville Hitchcock Platt,
of Connecticut. died at his summer
home ip this, his native town, Of
pneumonia. The end aln almost un-
eXpectedly, the immediate cause being
the breaking of an abcess which had
formed in the right lung and which
produced strangulation. Only a few
minutes before DR.. Ford. the family
physician, prepared a bulletin from the
sick room TO the effect that IL the pa
tient did not have another sinking
forenoon he would probably live
through the night. When the physician
left the sick the senator was
perfectly conscious, appeared to have
no pain, and had answered questions
put to him by those at his bedside,

and the senator's only son, Judge
James Il. Plat. of the United States
court, who had been mmoned home
during the afternoon and had reached
the house three hours earlier.
The funeral will probably be held
next Tuesday, though the date has not
been c~onclusively fixed. The services
will be held in the Congregational
church, which stands in the center OF.

time awaiting the arrival of the train
on which General Hawley's body was
taken to Washington. During the wait
he complained of Il slight chill, in con-
sequence of which, after the exercises
at the capitol, he returned directly to
his country homo in Washington, Conn.
1t was on Friday. March 81, that the
senator was taken with the illness
which proved fatal. The first attack
was OF neutrality-suspicious. OF n COM
paratively slight nature. This was fol-
lowed on April 4 by a second infection,
which lasted Tor about a week. On
ment, so that hopes Of recovery We're
entertained, but soon after that the
lung assesses began to develop and on
April Is he had n bad chill. The fol-
lowing day his physicians and nurses
feared would be the end, but he rallied
from that attack. Other chills, how
ever, followed at intervals, eliminating
8 and IL o'clock. Although the sick
man seemed to rally somewhat from
this attack and became comfortable
during the afternoon, it was evident
that his life was ebbing away. His
physician at S:45 o'clock stated that
the end would come with another chill.
and that the thread of life would snap
suddenly. This proved TO be the case.
and a few minutes later Senator P!att's
life work had ended.

AGREE TO
Dominican Friars Lands Question at
Last Will Be Settled.

Washington, April 24.-Secretary
Taft and Senior GUTIERREZ, the latter
representing the Philippine Sugar Es-
tate Development company. reached an
agreement to arbitrate the outstanding
issue respecting the sale to the Philip
pine government Of the Dominican fri
ars' land. amounting to about $4,000
acres. valued at about $500, 900, which
amount has been on deposit in New
York for more than a year awaiting
an agreement between the principals.
Title to eight haciendns is involved.
AS to five of these there has been lit
tie controversy, but the Dominican
title to the remaining three is pro-
nounced Insufficient by the Filipinos'
counsel. The basis of today's agree
ment is that title to the five tracts
shall be conveyed at once to the Phil
ippine government and the lands paid
for, While the title of the three re-
manning tracts shall be submitted to
the arbitration of Chief Justice Aral-
LELAND and Justice Willard, of the
Philippine supreme court. Secretary
Taft today cabled Governor Wright:
that this plan would be acceptable to
him. so that it will be passed on for
mally by the council. and this trouble
some question is at last settled.
