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 •Utti 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^ m ih "t 4H ' 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 wero mado us th ’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. CHINA’S WAR LOAN Mad© by France, Germany an d Russia, The Frankfurter Zeitung (Berlin) save that France, Germany and Bussia will jointly take up the Chinese war loan, and that the Rothschilds will be entrusted with the transaction. An other Berlin newspaper asserts that ffi© German markets must remain closed unless the German financial syndicate is placed on the same footing as those of the other countries, ~ 7~Z Seventeen _ .

Ransom, Uuited States minister to Mexico, ar riyed there tw0 weeks iu verv health, and has been taking treatment at the hot springs. He has improved very much but is still weak and will not return to his post in the City of Mexico for several days. The high al¬ titude of the City of Mexico did not agree with him. A STEAMER WRECKED And About Eighty of the Crew and Passengers Drowned. A dispatch from Carril, Spain, says the Dom Pedro, bound from Pasagee for Carril, struck Bajes Corrobedo last evening, and her boilers exploded, sinking her in a few minutes. A part of her passenger* and crew were saved, fern! ebont eighty pereftsf were drowned* CAPITAL GOSSIP. I ITEMS OF NEWS PICKED UP AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. | Sayings and Doings of the Official ' Heads of the Government. The postoffice department has de oided that the West India and Florida fast mail shall go by the Plant system, new W r west Havana coast linq, to Tampa, Key est, and all intermediate points, instead of by Jacksonville. The present time from Savannah to Tampa, only twelve hours, will be re¬ duced to ten by October 1st, although the present time is several hours quicker than heretofore. 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 Knights of Labor to Washington is on the point of accomplishment. During the past week, the executive commit¬ tee, consisting of Grand Master Work¬ man J. R. Soverign, H. B. Martin, C. A. French, T. E. McGuire and J. M. Konnoy] have been considering the subject of selecting a site. They finally decided upon a lot facing upon tho north front of the capitol. A building permit has been secured and the contract for the erection of a hand¬ some office building has been let. The supreme court of the United States has decided the Geary Chinese exclusion act to be constitutional and incidentally affirmed the general right of the United States to exclude aliens of all kinds, Tho question came be fore the^i w the case of Lem Bint, vs. the United Hpellniit Brisco transacted for a number H^^i94, w 'Hi ent the on ' v lining ^■■■aw of rae civil hi ■(^^iiking all chicf^of \\V department of agricult¬ ure, of whom there are eighteen, out of the excepted class, vacancies to bo filled hereafter by promotion from the corps of trained experts, or occasion¬ ally, if necessary, by the competitive examinations. Secretary Morton says the practical effect of this order will be that all places and positions in the department are brought into the class¬ ified civil service, except the secretary and assistant secretary of agriculture, and their private secretaries, the chief of tho weather bureau, the chief clerk of the department and the laborers and charwomen. 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. AT DES MOINES” Preparations Are Being Made for a Silver Convention.

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 ready for any emergency. In conse quence of a rumor that Russia intends to intervene, all of the available steam¬ ers have been ordered to Tien-Tein with cargoes of rice. Many Dollars are Missing. Accountants who found a shortage in J. Hull Davidson’s accounts during his term as city collector of Lexing¬ ton, Ky., will soon report on the of¬ fice while it was under tho charge of ex-State Treasurer S. G. Sharp. It 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. Resuming Mining Operations. Reports received in Huntington, W 7 . Ya., from points on the Norfolk and Western road state that several of the mines have resumed operations and that more will do so in tho next lew days.
