GRESHAM IS DEAD.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
PASSES AWAY.
Hopes of His Recovery Enter¬
tained to the Lest Moment.
DiftffiHP of flu* Lungfl ami Heart
I lie Cause of Death.
Dissolution Was Painless—- A Uriel
Sketch of His Life.
Hon. Walter Q. Gresham, seretary
of slate, died at his rooms in tho
Arlington hotel at Washington at 1.13
o’clock Tuesday morning.
During tho day the secretary lay in
a stupor, which was tho foundation
for the report which was given to tho
press that ho was “resting easy.” As
soon ns the physicians, however, real¬
ized that the end was approaching, tho
heroic measures usual in such cases
were adopted. Notwithstanding thoir
efforts, tho patient Hank rapidly.
At 10 o’clock Monday night tho
physicians acknowledged that they
considered tho case a hopeless ono but
they did not relax their efforts.
Secretary Gresham died at 1:15
o’clock. No death could be more
quiet, more calm or more peaceful.
For two hours preceding dissolution
there had boon no indication of either
a pulse or a heart beat. Ho lay during
that time with his head resting on the
arms of his daughter, Mrs. Andrews,
while his devoted wife sat by his side,
his hands crossing hors, his faco so
turned that his last conscious gazo
should rest upon her. And so tho
minutes dragged slowly on till tho end
came. He was conscious to the last.
He suffered greatly during tho pre¬
ceding forty-eight hours, after tho
pneumonic symptoms wero complica¬
ted with his other diseases, and was
only temporarily relieved by frequent
hypodermic injections. But as the end
approached tho suffering disappeared
and he passed away as quietly as a
tired child sinking to slumber.
ACUTE PLEURISY HIS DISEASE.
I)r. W. W. Johnson, who has boon
in daily attendance on Secretary Gres¬
ham, gavo out tho billowing statement
of tho case early Monday night:
“Mr. Gresham’s illness has been an
acute pleurisy with effusion, beginning
on May 1st. From May 13th his con¬
dition was entirely favorable and his
speedy recovery was confidently ex¬
pected. On May 25th symptoms of
reiapne appeared, cine to tno develop¬
ment of ucute pneumonia. His pres¬
ent alarming condition is duo to weak¬
ness of tho heart’s notion, ami thoro
seems to ho little or no hope of his re¬
covery. ”
-rin^tGrof ms Life.
Walter Quinton Gresham xvas littlo
moro than sixty-five years old when his
record uh a soldier, jurist, and statesman
was dosed by death. Ho was essen¬
tially an Iudianian, though of lato
years claiming residence in Illinois.
Born iu Harrison county, Indiana,
March 17, 1832, and receiving all liis
early education and legal train¬
ing in that state, ho abandoned a
prosperous law practice and a mem¬
bership in the state legislature in Au¬
gust, 1801, to throw his whole energies
into the prosecution of tho war for tho
defence of the union. Ilis gallant and
conspicuously able services in that ca¬
pacity friendship secured for him tho strong
of General Grant and the
respect of his eon federate opponents,
which was frequently manifested in af¬
ter life.
Ho entered tho service as lieutenant
colonel of tho Thirty-eighth Indiana
volunteers, was brevetted brigadier
general for gallantry in the siege of
\ ieksburg and retired as major gen¬
eral. In the operations before Atlanta,
Ga., while commanding a division iu
General Frank Blair’s corps, ho re¬
ceived wounds while charging at tho
bond of his brigade which put him iu
the hospital for nearly a year and to a
considerable extent incapacitated him
up to tho end of his life. He was
awarded a pension for this disability,
but after ho became secretary of state
declined to receive it, although the
constant and intense suffering result¬
ing from those injuries undoubtedly
augmented the physical ailments which
contributed to his death.
lie Enters Politics.
After the war closed he was brought
forward prominently as a political
candidate. He ran for congress in the
New Albany, Ind., district in 1866 as
a republican and was defeated. Then
he was appointed financial agent of
his state iti New \ork city anil
while holding this position was select
od by President Grant for appointment
as Uuited States district judge in his
native state. In 1880, when oue of the
customary changes iu tho complexion
of the ludiann legislature made it pos¬
sible to elect a republican to succeed
Mr. Jos. E. McDonald to the United
States senate, Judge Gresham and
Benjamin Harrisou were tho loading
candidates for the position, and Mr.
Harrison secured the election. After
the death of President Garfield in
1882 Judge Gresham was tendered
the position of postmaster general
in President ^ Arthur’s reorganized cab¬
inet and resigned his judgeship to ac¬
cept it. \\ hen {secretary Folger died,
iu 1884, after his overwhelming defeat
as candidate for governor of New York
by Grover Cleveland, Mr. Gresham
was transferred to tho treasury port¬
folio thus vacated. The duties of
« cabinet officer ami the exactiug
requirements involved iu the disposal of
the patronage of one of the great¬
est executive departments of the gov¬
ernment were not to hia taste, and at
his own request President Arthur
nominated him, after barely three
months service as secretary of the
treasury, to the position of circuit
judge for the seventh judicial circuit,
which embraces the states of Indiana,
Jliinoifi and Wisconsin. He retained
his position until at Mr. Cleveland’s
urgent personal request lie joined Mr*
' **vcl»n»l’s •ertond cabinet at •eot'Starv 7

AT TIIF. STATE DEPARTMENT.
Tho state department was technical¬
ly closed Tuesday, admission being
denied to all visitors, although thecn- !
tire force of employes were kept in
waiting to assist in the discharge of
formalities attending upon notifies
tion to the foreign powers of the na- ,
lion’s loss. Acting Secretary Uhl, i
, hollow-eyed .. , and , the .. result ,
nervous as
of hiHaU-mghtv.gilatthedoor of the
death chamber, was early at hia post ■
engaged m the preparation of orders
to bo signed by the president and m
frequent communication with the fami
y of the dead secretary Within
three quarters of an hour after the end
came he had dispatched brief cable
messages to the fonr ambassadors who
represent the United States abroad;
to Bayard, Eustis, Runyon and Me- I
Veigb, stating that Secretary Gresham
had expired at 1:15 o’clock. In ad¬ j
dition, Mr. Eustis was directed to
send a like formal announcement to
all ofthe United Hi.to.lcg.iion., ;
Subsequently, Mr. Uhl prepared a
draft of a formal note intended to be
issued to the representatives of tho
foreign nations accredited to Wash¬ 1
ington and also for transmission to the
United Btates representatives abroad,
conveying to them the of Secre¬ i
news
tary Gresham’s death in more formal
stylo than could bo attained in a brief
cablegram.
EXECUTIVE ORDER ISSUED.
Tho following executive order was
sent from tho White House to all
heads of departments:
Exeuutivb Mansion, May 28, 1895.
—To the heads of the executive do
partments and the government print
ing office: As a mark of respect to the
memory of the Hon. Walter Q. Gres¬
ham, late secretary of state, tho pres¬
ident directs that the several executive
departments and tho governmont
printing office in tho city of Washing¬
ton be closed on Wednesday, tho 29th
day of Muy, 1895, the day of the fu¬
ll oral.
(Signed,) Henry T. Thurrkr,
Private Secretary.
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.
The president issued tho following:
Walter Q. Gresham, secretary of
state of tho United fttatos, is dead.
The president in making this distress¬
ing announcement to his fellow-coun¬
trymen speaks from tho depths of a
personal affliction to remind them that
they too have lost a pure and able
public servant, a wiso and patriotic
guardian of all their rights and inter¬
ests, n manly and loyal American and
a generous and lovable man.
As a suitable expression of natural
bereavement, I direct that tho diplo¬
matic representatives of tho United
States iu all foroigu countries display
the flags over their embassies and le¬
gations at half-mast fur ten days; that
for a like period tho flag of the United
States bo displayed at half-mast at all
forts and military posts and at all
naval stations and on all vossels of t he
United States.
I further order that on
the Inn, ml the cvnil^

to receive a soldier’s burial.
Walter Q. Gresham will receive a
soldier’s burial. Except John A. Lo¬
gan, of Illinois, no other man outside
the regular army has eveY been honor¬
ed by the ordering out of United
State troops to attend his funeral.
Tho preliminary services will take
placo in tho east room of tho white
house, which has witnessed some me¬
morial obsequies, the last being the
burial of President Harrison’s wife,
but has never before been the scene of
funeral services over a cabinet officer.
There will further be this distinc¬
tive feature in the sad ceremonies-—
that the draperies and other accesso¬
ries will be entirely military in char¬
acter. The United States flag will be
tho chief emblem of nv turning round
his funeral casket. Bishop Hurst, of
the Methodist Episcopal church, will
conduct the services. Ho was a warm
personal friend of the dead secretary,
who himself was brought up in the
Methodist faith, his father and mother
belonging to that denomination. All
the cabinet will be present except Sec¬
retary Carlisle, who will join the fu¬
neral cortege en route to Chicago,
where it has been finally determined
that the interment, shall take place.
THE FUNERAL OBSEQUIES.
At 9 :30 o’clock Wednesday morning
tho remains of the late secretary of
state were removed to the white house.
The funeral procession, preceded by a
squad of mounted police, moved slow
ly down Lafayette Place, flanked on
either side by a line of policemen, be
hind whom x^pre thousands of people,
many of them with bowed and uncov
ered heads. Here and there a tear
trickled down the cheek of one who
had known and felt the kindness of
him who was so soon to be laid to rest
forever. The procession swept around
the great bronze statue of Lafayette at
the corner of the square and up the
broad avenue, passed the drawn np ar
tillerv and eavalrv, to the entrauce of
the white house ‘grounds. Slowly it
moved along the line of carriages of
the diplomatic corps, members of tho
supreme court, officials, members of
congress and other invited guests to
the steps of the white house. The cas
ket, preceded by the president and
cabinet, was borne by the artillerymen
to the east room, where the 6erviee6 !
took place.
The service was remarkably simple
and free from ostentation. It was
the foil burial service of the Method¬
ist Episcopal church, practically the
same as that of tne Church of Eug
, land , though , abbreviated. . . ■
somewhat , . , ,
-the bishop read selections from diner
out parts of the Scripture, the thirty
of ninth the Psalm First and Corinthians. the fifteenth Then chapter |
a
quartette stationed at one side sang
sweetly Cardinal Newman's hvmu, .
“Lead Kindly Light.” Again the
bishop read a few verses from the
Scriptures and the funeral prayer, and
then the service closed w ith the Lord’s
Prayer and a blessing.
lhe entire service lasted fifteen
minutes. The bishop stepped to one
side after inviting those who cared to
do so to look upon the face of the cm
inent deceased.
At the conclusion of the services the
funeral party with its military escort
.moved tJ©wn Fetj^ylvapia *veuy<j to
the Baltimore k Ohio station from
which the sad journey to Chicago was
to be made.
THE SOUTH NOT IN IT.
Gov. Atkinson Says Our Section Wilt
Not Supply a Candidate.
A New York special save: Governor
William Y. Atkinson, of Georgia, who
democrats iH oue of the young and progressive
of the south, was at tho
Fifth Avenue hotel tod where he
re ceived a number of visitors. He
CRme here to deliver nearly $300,000
D f Georgia bonds, which draw interest
at 3$ per cent per annum.
In regard to selecting a presidential
candidate from the south, he declared
it was not practicable and would not
be for some years to come.
“Although we are a united people
and loyal to the flag,” he added, “I
think there is a latent feeling in the
north among a few that would be in
, m ie»l to » candidate from the aontb.
No man identified with tho old ,'gi™
in the south would be eligible. The
vice presidency? Well, a vice presi
dent might be more practicable, but
if he should be selected from tho south
tho presidential candidate would have
to be a strong and healthy one.”
Tho governor said the people in his
state are conservative and would not
vote for any man for a third term.
“Business is fast improving,” he
continued, “and we ore making great
headway with the preparations for the
Cotton States and International expo
sition in Atlanta. It will be larger
arid grander than anything wo have
had yet.”
NEGROES KILLED BY MEXICANS.
Thirty-Two of a Colony Shot While
Attempting Escape.
A party of five negroes arrived at
San Antonio, Texas, Tuesday from
Tlahualido, a negro colony iu the state
of Durango, Mexico. They confirm tlio
report contained in recent dispatches
from El Paso, Texas, of the killing of
a party of the negroes who woro at¬
tempting to make their escape from
the colony.
Jim Crawley, formerly of Griffin,
Ga., is the leader of tho party of foot¬
sore pilgrims who arrived. He stated
tb"t lie and the other four men with
1 a were members of the band who,
about ton days ago, attempted to es¬
cape from the colony. In relating his
experiences, ho said:
“All of the colonists are kept con¬
stantly under guard by Mexicans arm¬
ed with guns. We wero so badly
treated that a band of forty of us re¬
solved to niRke a break for the United
States. Wo deserted the colony iu a
body and were pursued by a party of
armed Mexicans, who soon overtook us
and fired on us. Thirty-two of the
negroes were killed and only eight es¬
caped. Nono of the promises w hich

’Writ
Corpus.
On Monday the United States su¬
preme court denied the application of
Eugene Y. Debs, the strike leader, for
u writ of habeas corpus. This is a vic¬
tory for the government.
No more important question, with
the single exception of the income tax,
Las come before the supreme court
during the past year than tho attempt
of Eugeno Y. Debs and tho other of¬
ficers of ^ho American Railway Union
to secure a reversal of their sentences
to jail by Judge Woods for interfering
with interstate commerce and the run¬
ning of the mails in the great railway
strike of last summer.
The history of the case is still fresh
in the public memory, hut it has im¬
portance beyond the mere question of
tho imprisonment of the American
Railway union officers, because there
is largely involved the principles of
the right of judges having jurisdiction
of large interests by virtue of receiv¬
ership created by them to prevent la¬
bor troubles through the instrumen¬
tality of injunctions. Nearly one
third of the railroad property of the
United States being in the hands of
receivers appointed by the federal
courts, the precedent to be established
has wide application.

The supreme court in a decision up¬
holds the Pennsylvania state tax upon
the gross receipts of railroads. Tho
case came to the supreme court on a
writ of error from tho supreme court
of Pennsylvania. The complainant
was the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad company, which
claimed that ns all the business done
over the road by lessee party, was in¬
terstate commerce, it was not compe¬
tent for the state to tax the tolls re¬
ceived by the company which owned
the road.
Director of the Mint Preston has
made public his estimates of the pro¬
duction of gold and silver in the
United States for 1894. They show a
production slightly in excess of $40,
000,000 of gold and about 48,000,000
ounces of silver. This is an increase
of more than $4,000,000 in the value of
the gold product and a decrease of
about 12,000,000 ounces in the pro¬
duction of silver. The world’s pro¬
duction of gold, it is estimated, will
amount to $172,000,000, an increase of
about $15,000,000 over the production
of 1893.
The long discussed project of trans¬
ferring tho headquarters of the

The postoffice department has sent
out circulars to postmasters through¬
out the country notifying them of the
circulation of an issue of spurious two
cent postage stamps. The letter or
circular is substantially as follows:
“There are in circulation counterfeit
tw'o-cent ordinary postage stamps of
the bureau of engraving and printing
design, trigonal ornament in upper
corners and of pale carmine tint. At
the first look it has the appearance of
more open engraving, but under a
magnifying glass it will be found that
this is attributable to the broken lines,
instead of the continuous lines of gen¬
uine steel engraving, suggesting a re¬
course to the photo-lithographic pro¬
cess in securing the counterfeit re¬
semblance and imprint. The counter¬
feits are, so far as discovered, well
perforated and printed in sheets of
only five wide.” The postal authori¬
ties are on the watch for the counter¬
feiters.
FORMOSA FOR INDEPENDENCE.
The Island Establishes a Government
of Her Own.
The state department at Washing¬
ton has received a cablegram from Mr.
Denby, U. S. minister to China, stat¬
ing that the island of Formosa has de¬
clared her independence, that the
powers have been so notified, and that
a government, republican in form, has
been established in Formosa.
This adds a new complication to the
situation in the East. Before this gov¬
ernment can recognize the Formosan
independence, it must be shown that a
provisional government which can
stand has been organized.
There are great numbers of Japanese
in Formosa, and it remains to be seen
what course they will adopt.

Russia’s Position May He the Cause of
Renewed Hostilities.
A dispatch from Shanghai tothe Pall
Mall Gazelle, (London,) says there are
alarming rumors that a renewal of the
fighting between Japan and China is
imminent. The Japanese warships at
Formosa have been cleared for action
and the French ships at Tani6ui are

Accountants who found a shortage
in J. Hull Davidson’s accounts during
his term as city collector of Lexing¬

is learned that the report will show
about $19,000 missing. Mr. Sharp
says ho is ready to settle the short¬
age fund in his books when required
to do so. This added to the $15,000
makes about $34,000 taken from the
city during the terms of office of these
two collectors, and the books of their
predecesors have yet to be examined.
