Friend.

Washington, Oct. 31.-News of Vice
President Shermans death, though it
had been expected hourly, was re-
ceived with profound sorrow in official
Washington.
At the capitol, where every attache
considered him friend, in the govern
ment headquarters where he was a
frequent visitor, among the cabinet Of
ficers and in the diplomatic corps,
where he had many close friends, the
announcement caused genuine regret.
President Taft issued a proclama-
ton directing that for 30 days all the
United States embassies and legations
abroad shall observe mourning. The
flags over the White House, the dome
of the capitol and the public buildings
in Washington have been half masted.
From the navy and war departments
orders were flashed to all army posts,
ships at sea, navy yards and insular
possessions to put flags at half mast
on the day of the funeral.

General Mardo Menocal and Enrique
Joee Varena, respectively, candidates
for the presidency and vice presidency
of the republic on the Conservative
ticket, and of all the other candidates
put forward by the Conservatives ap.
pears practically assured.
The delay in receiving the returns la
due to the extreme slowness Of cleo.
ton officials in counting the votes.
AS an instance, in Havana, four hours
after the polls had closed, the official
figures in only half-dozen election
districts were available. A majority
of these favored General Menocal No
official returns have been received
from the interior
The Conservatives have received pri.
vate advices that General Menocal
carried the proinces of Oriente, Cam
avguey and Matanzas and probably
Santa Clara. They are disposed to
concede that Senior Zayas has won
out in Pinar Del Rio.
The Liberals claim the city Of Ha-
vana. but concede the remainder of
the province of Havana and the other
five provinces to the Conservatiy
This would practically make clean
sweep of the election by the Csnserva-.
tives.
A dispatch from the Associated
Press correspondent at Santiago says
the Conservatives probably carried
that city. but that the Liberals gained
the remainder of the province.

Any review of Sherman's life would
not be complete without reference
to his work in the house. Briefly,
there is recorded no time when he
moved galleries to applause by an ad.
dress from the floor or changed any
votes by eloquence, but the statutes
bear marks Of his work in committees
and caucus, and the results of his
labors on the rules committee, the in

other branches of the machinery Of the
house where the real legislating is
done, while speeches prevail upon the
floor.
Led in New York Politics.
In New York state politics Sherman
was a leading figure. He always was
active in state. convention and figure
at all national gatherings of the party.
Sherman went to preside over the
senate just about at time when what
popularity is known as senatorial dig
