Colonel Villas Speaks Of cleveland's
Demise In Pathetic Terms.
Madison, June 24.-Colonel Will
liam F. Villas, former United States
senator and member Of President
Cleveland's cabinet when informed
that Mr.. Cleveland was dead, said:
Notwithstanding his feeble condi-
ton was generally known his recent
seeming improvement had dispelled
the imminence of apprehension and
the news of Mr.. Cleveland's death fell
as a stunning blow. Its unexpected
suddenness deprived us OF present
power to deal with the memories it
awakens. For myself I dare attempt
but small expression OF the thoughts
that arise in me. Passing time has al
ready done much and now will do
more to clear away the clouds Of con-
temporary differences and leave his
lofty character, his great power and.
his service to his country In the I'M
dimmed splendor by which history
will display them.
