SIR SANFORD FLEMING
DIES, AGED EIGHTY-ElGHT
Civil Engineer and Scientist Held
Many Positions Of High Public
Trust in Canada.

HALIFAX, N. g., July 22.-Sir Sand
ford Fleming. civil engineer. scientist and
public man, died today. He was eighty
eight years old
Sir Sanford Fleming held many
positions of high public trust, but his
chief work was in connection with his
chosen profession of civil eng 1eering
and scientific research.
In the early COS Sir SANFORD did his
first important work when he conduct
ed a survey for the first link in a rail-
way which would extend from the At
lantic to the Pacific within British ter
rtory. Tho railroad was the Interco-
lonial and he was chief engineer dur
ing its construction.
In 1871 he was appointed engineer
in-chief to carry on the Pacific rail-
way surveys and the railroads that
traverse this region are today monu-
ment of the successful preliminary
work he did there. The railway across
the Island of Newfoundland is also, in
large measure. due to his work. Sir
Sanford is gratefully remembered in
Canada as the dean of its engineering
profession and the father of the Pa
cifc railway"
Literature and scientific research oc-
cupied tho later years of his life. He
was elected chancellor of Queens Uni
versity in 1880. and was many times
reelected to that Office, which he filed
for more than thirty years.

Former Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer of Pennsylvania. who was
named last April as a Judge of the
Court of Claims. but who has never
qualified for the position, saw Presi-
lieved for some time that Mr.. Palmer
would eventually decline the judgeship,
and his visit to the President today
is supposed to have been for the pur-
pose of notifying the President that he
will not be able to enter upon the
ment he told the President that he
would be ready to accept the position
in short time.
Mr. Palmers friends have been try
ing to get him to decline the place
and return to the practice of law. There
has been talk of Mr.. Palmer for coun-
selor of the State Department. but 1t
is not understood he will get the place.
He declined to say today whether he
will go upon the Court of Claims bench,
confirming the known fact that he has
been hesitating about doing so.

minous coal from the Pocahontas field
in West Virginia to Danville was pre-
scribed.
