MINISTER WILLIS.
A Sketch of His Career by Representa
tive Carnth.
The Way He Made His Way In the
World— The Story of How Ha Lost
His Place in Congress—He Tried to
Keep a Woman in Office—The Reasons
That Led to His Appointment to
Hawaii— A Man Well Suited for the
Position.
Washington, Jan. 21.—1 t was a petty
postofflce row which took Albert G. Wil
lis out of congress and gave him the op
portunity to be the United States minis
ter to Hawaii. If it had not been for that
row Willis might still be numbered
among the quiet men of congress, instead
of being a center of attraction in two coun
tries—the United States and Hawaii—as
well as an interesting figure to the world
at large. Postofflce rows have bothered
a good many congressmen and have de
feated not a few of them, but the particu
lar row’ which fell to the lot of Willis was
an ill wind which eventually blew him
Into a national and international promi
nence he never would have achieved in
congress.
I got from the witty and popular blue
grass statesman. Congressman Asher G.
Carutb, of Louisville, the circumstances
of Willis’ summary retirement from con
gress, and a good deal more of this inter
esting figure who is handling our affairs
in Hawaii. Caruth represents the Louis
ville district, having beaten Willis for
the democratic nomination after Willis
had held the place for ten years. Of
course, Caruth knows Willis very well,
and was.able to tell all about him from
his boyhood up, including the postofflce
fight which retired Willis and made
Caruth his successor.
■ Tnere was a woman in the case,” said
Caruth, “and if there hadn’t been, I
would not bo sitting here as Willis’ suc
cessor.”
•The trouble dated way back to the
Tilden-Ha.ves campaign. Kentucky was
red hot for Tilden and no one doubted
that Tilden was going to be President.
Mrs. Virginia C. Thompson, of Louis
ville, who was highly connected, was
among those certain of Tilden’s election.
Her husband had died after doing good
service in the campaign, leaving Sirs.
Thompson with scant means of sup
port. She was the daughter of Alex
ander Campbell, the founder of the
Campbeliite faith, and had such strong
political friendships that she decided to
be a candidate for postmistress of Louis
ville. That was when Tilden s entrance
to the white house seemed certain, so
Mrs. Thompson got up a huge petition to
Tilden asking for her appointment. She
was equal to the emergency when Hayes
was counted in, for she struck out the
heading to “President Tilden,” and made
it to “President Hayes.”
WHERE WILLIS CAME INTO THE CASE.
“At that time Garfield was prominent
in congress and a close friend of Ha.yes.
Garfield was also a Campbellite, so that
when Mrs. Thompson appealed to him
she found an active supporter. The result
was that she became postmistress of
Louisville. Mrs. Thompson held the
place under Hayes, Garfield and Arthur
and up to the time of President Cleve
land's election.
"It was just here that Willis came into
the case. He was thea the Louisville
representative in congress, and Mrs.
Thompson applied to him to indorse her
for reappointment. He had no sooner
done so than trouble began Indignation
meetings were held; the claim was made
that Mrs. Thompson had contributed to
Jay Hubbell’s campaign fund. I made
the run, and it resulted in Willis’ defeat
at the convention. The postoffice row had
done it all. and it was the sole cause of
my nomination and election.”
Private John Allen, the congressional
numorist, happened to hear Caruth's nar
rative.
• And so,” said Allen, ‘'Willis’ efforts
to keep Queen Lil on the throne are not
the first attempts he has made to keep a
female in office.” * * *
Caruth went on to tell of the charac
teristics of Willis. Ho had started
as a poor bo.v in Louisville, had gone
through the public schools, and had then
worked in a law.office until admitted to
the bar. He became prosecuting attor
ney. which gave him much local promi
nence in criminal trials. Then he made a
specialty of personal injury cases, always
taking the side of the injured plaintiff
against some of the wealthy corporations.
He was not an eloquent advocate, but he
had a fluency and directness of speech
that made him very convincing.
WILLIS’ METHOD OP A LAWSUIT.
Mr. Crutchfield, of Louisville, journal
clerk of the House of Representatives, re
lates an incident of Willis’ popular
method of trying a lawsuit. He was at
torney for a young woman in a case
against a prominent and wealthy con
tractor of Louisville. The case attracted
much attention and the court room was
crowded when the trial was on. The
contractor took the stand and being of
an easy conscience, tried to swear the
case out of court. Then Willis
arose in behalf of the young woman. He
did not seek to cross-examine the witness.
He turned to the great crowd of specta
tors and at random singled out a man on
the front row.
“Stand up and be sworn where you
stand. ’ said Willis to the astonished
spectator.
“Do you know the defendant?” asked
VViliis.
"Yes.”
“Do you know his reputation for truth
and veracity?”
"Yes.”
“Is it good or bad?”
“Dad.”
“Would you believe him under oath?”
No,”
Then Willis called on another spectator
to stand up and be sworn, with similar
results. Thus he called on spectator af
ter spectator at random until he had
sworn fifteen or twenty of them. They
?V agreed that the contractor could not
°e believed under oath. It was proof
positive to the jury in impeaching the
contractor, ? or was c l ear to every one
tnat the witnesses had not been sum-
S?aed for the purpose of impeachment.
''nils won the case, and secured a ver
alc,J PjfciO’OOO against the contractor.
Will is secured the Hawaiian mission
largely through the influence his fellow
Kentuckian, Secretary Carlisle. They
"'ere closely associated during Willis’
congressional service, and when Carlisle
oecftme speaker of the House he made
" 11118 chairman of the first committee on
\vm* an< * harbor*- Up to that time
" 11118 had not cut much of a figure in
congress. He had gone off on that
agary of the day which found
repression in the r Blair educa
tional bill, and which sought to distribute
tne vast surplus, then in the treasury,
r>A long , tho . statcs for. educational pur
loses. Blair championed the scheme in
tile Senate, and Willis took it up in the
f{?*“•’ framing the "Willis Educational

gunshot of passage. v
..f hen Willis took up the question or
niticse exclusion, aud he was one of the
, ollWr# of the movement w filch resulted
*n 'he passage of the original Chinese ex
trusion act. more than ten years ago.
~ *V in the Forty-eighth congress
nat the river and harbor committee was
e Ca v. ■ as a distinct body, with Willis as
it* chairman, Prior to that time it had
r" o *n adjunct to the commerce comrnlt
-7” W lllis soon showed the power of
fie new committee. He was must adroit
in securing big appropriations for the
waterways of the country. He would
argue for days on a minor point just to
maintain the committee’s position, and
he always carried his point. He had a
knack of making friends of his opponents,
for he antagonized them with such tact
and persistency that he usually won
them over.
A INSCRIPTION OF WILLIS.
It was such characteristics as these
which led Secretary Carlisle to recom
mend Willis for the delicate mission of
going to Hawaii and restoring the queen
to the throne.
Only a few months ago, shortly before
he went to Hawaii, Willis came to Wash
ington to represent the 1 zmisvilie whisky
interest, which is very large, in some leg
islation before congress. As an ex-mem
ber of the House he had the right to go on
the floor during the swssion. But it was
noticeable that he never took advantage
of this privilege. On the contrary, he re
mained out in the lobbies, along with the
everyday lobbicst and office-seeker, and
transacted his business without asking
any special favors.
Willis is now about 55 years of age. He
is of medium hight, stocky build, with
bald head, silver gray hair' on the sides
and back of his head, and a short cropped
full gray beard. He would not be taken
as a type of the fiery and impetuous Ken
tuckian. He is rather reserved and cold.
It is not easy to get acquainted with him.
Those who -understand him know how
readily he held President Dole at an
arms length and kept all Hawaii mysti
fied. Neither would he be taken for a
diplomat. There is nothing keen about
him. He is rather phlegmatic. He is
admirably calculated to have held those
memorable interviews with ex-Queen Lil
iuokaiani and Marshal Wilson.
It will interest .Michigan people to
know that Judge Martin V. Montgomery,
of Lansing, came near being the Blount or
the Willis of the present Hawaiian tangle.
Early last summer, before the question
had taken on a serious aspect, Judge
Montgomery's name was mentioned as
likely to be the President's choice for
Hawaii, and there is good reason
for believing that Cleveland wanted the
Michigan man to do the investigating
preparatory to the queen's restoration.
The President has a special personal re
gard for the judge, as the latter served
on the District of Columbia bench during
the first Cleveland term, as an appointee
of Cleveland’s.

It will lie noticed that the nine boxes
numbered above 100 are all south of An
derson street. There need be no confu
sion in distinguishing the alarms from
these boxes, although it will require three
sets of strokes of the bell to give an
alarm. This will be very easy to catch
on to. For instance in sounding No. 113,
the bell will give one stroke, a pause,
then one stroke again, followed by another
pause, then three strokes, one after the
other, followed by a double cause, then
the alarm will be sounded over
again. These alarms will be
sounded as quickly as the others,
as they require a less number of taps of
the bell than many of older numbers un
der 100. For instance to sound 67 requires
thirteen taps of the Big Duke, to sound
113 will only requiro five taps, and to
sound 142 only seven taps.
Chief Puder took care to select those
numbers in naming the new boxes which
will require the least number of strokes
to give the alarm.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1894.
IT IS SURELY COMING.
The Question is: “Are You Prepared?” If
Not, Some Very Valuable Advice is Vol
unteered.
An epidemic of the grip is certain to be gen
eral throughout America in a very short time.
Already many cases have been observed by
physicians in New York city, as well as In
other cities of the land. Dr. Cyrus Edson, of
the New York Board of Health, says that the
disease will manifest Its presence generally in
the very near future, and that it is already
here more than is generally realized. He said:
"X think we will have a grip epidemic soon,
and there are indications that it will be along
siege. While Ido not want to create a stare.
I would warn people to beware of it and to use
ail the precautions possible. Experience has
shown that carelessness In habits and irregular
hours render the system too weak to stand so
violent a disease. Grip finds easy victims in
old people and in debilitated persons."
There Is but one thing tor any man. woman
or child to do when the slightest symptom of
grip appears, and that is to counteract It at
once. If you feel tired, have pains in the
muscles and bones, have a dull headache, a
bad taste in the mouth, are feverish, have no
ambition or appetite, you must, if you desire
to escape the grip, at ones take a good pure
stimulant. This alone can counteract the
coming cn of grip, kill the microbes of the
disease and restore you to health. While
there are many so-called stimulants, there is
but one which Is pure, scientific, and recom
mended by phvsieians universally. This is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Do not be de
ceived by any druggist or grocer who may try
to induce you to take something else. Re
member that the reason usually Is that he can
make more money on cheaper and inferior
articles.
A ROUND SUM FOR STREETS.
Mr. Seiler Gets $15,000 for Rights of
Way.
The city has closed a deal with Mr.
Charles Seiler for the opening up of the
streets through his property in the ex
treme southern section of the city.
The deal made with Mr. Seiler is prac
tically the same as that made with the
heirs of the Dasher property, which ad
joins the Seiler property, and which was
announced in the Morning News some
time ago. The city agrees to pay Mr.
Seiler £15,000, $3,000 in cash and the re
mainder in one, two and three years with
interest at 7 per cent.
In return, Mr. Seiler deeds the right of
way to the city for its streets through his
own private grounds, the Concordia Park
property and his other property east of
Concordia Park. This will enable the
city to open up the eastern half of Bull
street and Drayton, Abercorn. Lincoln,
Habersham and Price streets from Sev
enth street south to the city limits, antj,
Seventh street and Seiler street running
oast and west. The deeds and transfers
will probably be drawn this week.
The deal with Mr. Seiler enables the
city to practically open all of the streets
in the newly annexed section south of
Anderson street.
The same deal was made with the own
ers of the Dasher property, which lies
north of the Seiler oroperty, the citv
paving the owners 515.0U0 for the right of
way for the streets, of which £3,000 is to
be paid in cash and the balance in one,
two and three years, the city giving its
notes for the unpaid balance. The city
secures more square feet ot space from
the Dasher property than from the Sei
ler property, but Mr. Seiler suffers
greater damages by the opening
of the streets through his property.
Concordia park, his fine nursery and his
own private grounds, upon all of which
he has spent a good deal of money, will
be intersected by the streets. The open
ingof Bull street will cut off Mr. Seileris
entire front yard and a piazza and bay
window to his house as well. These lat
ter, however, will be allowed to remain
as encroachments for the present. Mr.
Seiler will also be required to move some
of bis nurseries quid green houses. The
improvements made upon his property
by Mr. Seiler will add greatly to the ap
pearance of the extreme southern section
of the city when the streets are opened
up.
The city has been endeavoring for the
last several years to arrange with .Mr.
Seiler for the opening of the streets
through his property, but found it
very difficult to come to an agree
ment. Mr. Seller claimed that on
account of the expenditures he
had made in improving and beautifying
his property he would' be greatly dam
aged by the opening of the streets through
it and fixed his price accordingly. He
named £33,000 several years ago as the
lowest figure which ho would accept.
This the city refused to give. After a
number of conferences the present com
mittee on opening streets agreed with
him on the price named, £15,000, payable
as stated. The members of the commit
tee are very glad for their part that this
troublesome matter has been settled.
It is the opinion of real estate owners in
the southern section of the city, that the
city has paid very steep prices for the
opening of the streets in that section. A
few years ago the right of way for all the
streets in the annexed district could have
been obtained for a fraction of what the
city has recently agreed to pay for only
a portion of the streets. The acquiring
of the streets at the then low prices at
which the property was offered was put
off. This delay, remarked a gentleman
yesterday, not only prevented the devel
opment of that section, but has since cost
the city thousands of dollars.
SSfne property owners, it is said, have
obtained for the rights of way through
their property more than they puid for
the whole property a few years ago. The
immense advance in the value of subur
ban real estate, which has since taken
place, was not foreseen then, and in
fluential members of the city council
argued that the property owners would
bo compelled to open the streets them
selves in order to develop their property.
NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Savannah Not Likely to Be Repre
sented in the Meeting.
The annual convention of the National
Board of Trade will convene in Washing
ton to-morrow. The convention is of
great importance, as it will be attended
by representatives of probably a majority
of the 1,100 boards of trade throughout
the country.
The Savannah Board of Trade is a
member of the national combination. Mr.
J. R. Anderson represented the board at
the special meeting held in Washington
last September, when strong resolutions
were passed urging the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law. The reso
lutions adopted by the convention were
identical with those previously adopted
by the Savannah Board of Trade.
It is desired that the board of trade
should be represented at the convention,
but no one has yet been found to under
take the task, and it looks now as if Sa
vannah will be unrepresented.
President Purse said yesterday that he
would like very much to attend the con
vention. but it would not be possible for
him to do so.
A number of important questions will
be considered by the convention, in
cluding the income tax. state
banks, a national bankrupt law
and financial questions generally.
Among these matters is the subject of
trademarks, presented by the New York
Board of Trade and 'Transportation. The
necessity for a uniform law regulating
the registration of trade marks used in
Interstate commerce betng recognized as
an imporiant one to afford proper pro
tection for this valuable species of indus
trial property. The national board will
be asked to urge upon congress the enact
ment of proper legislation in this con
nection.
The St. Louis Merchants' Exchange
will present a resolution urging upon con
gress the passage of the Torrey bankrupt
bill: the Philadelphia Board of Trade,
the passage of a uniform bankrupt law,
and the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce,
the passage of a uniform commercial law.
The resolution with regard to the latter
says: "The laws regulating credit,
mortgage indebtedness and commercial
transactions are unnecessarily compli
cated and confusing, discriminating and
unjust, when they should be uniform, sim
ple and impartial.”
The Chicago Board of Trade will pre
sent the question of immigration, with a
resolution recommending the strict en
forcement of the immigration laws of the
United States, and further urging their
amendment so as to require from every
immigrant desiring to come to the United
States, a certificate from the foreign
authorities that the immigrant is of good
moral character. never convicted of crime,
and never a public charge, etc., and this
to be countersigned b.v the United States
consul at the port of departure.
The Boston Merchants' Association will
present the question. "The-Reform of the
Consular Service.” but without any spe
cific recommendations.
The question of foreign commerce, as to
how best can the government stimulate
commerce and trade with foreign coun
tries. will lie presented by tho St. Louis
Builders’ Exchange, while the New York
Board of Trade will present a resolution
that congress be memorialized to provide
for commercial relations with neighbor
ing countries upon broad and comprehen
sive principles of reciprocity.
In the same connection will come the
recommendation of tho Philadelphia
Boai-d of Trade fora “department of com
merce and manufacture,” both as a relief
of the pressure upon the treasury depart
ment, and for tho sake of greater cer
tainty in dealing with all matters of trade
and manufacture. The question of foster
ing the American merchant marine will
also come up from the New York hoard.

MEXICO’S FINANCE MINISTER.
The Story That He Was Ineligible for
the Office Disproven.
City of Mexico, Jan. 21.—Considera
ble Interest has been aroused of
late by the charge that Senor
Joso Ives Liman tour, the Mexican min
ister of finance, Is not eligible to
an office in the cabinet by reason of being
the son of foreign parents and born in a
foreign land. The Diario officially denies
this, and brings forth proof to show that
Senor Limantour was born in this coun
try in 1864.

appearance and as near equal in size as it
is possible to be.
