Houghteling, 27 Banks street, in Chicago, The end came unexpectedly while the Sena­ tor was in his room with a nurse. Although he had been ill for several weeks his condition was not thought critical and his death came as an unusually severe blow to his wife and his wife and friends. At Kalama­ zoo, his home, his death caused mani­ festations of sincere grief from his many friends, by whom the Senator was so generally be­ loved for his sturdy char- actor and open-handed generosity. His liberal gifts to Kalamazoo College and the Young- Men's Christian Association will remain as monuments to his great- heartedness. His business partner, S. A. Browne, and Banker Dayton, an­ other intimate friend, were moved to tears as thev learned of his death. THE strike on the Great Northern Railway was callei off Tuesday night at *St. Paul. _ Arbitration did it, and the plan proposed by the commercial bodies of the Twin Cities wa< the one adopted. The tie-up of the road lasted eighteen days. Mr. Hill was pro­ nounced in favor of arbitration all along and agreed to any system of arbi­ tration if the men would resume work. The conference went over all details of the trouble thoroughly. and Mr. Hill made great concessions to the men, the result being that the whole difficulty was settled then and there. The 4,500 miles of track was at once opened for business by over 5,(HO employes and the .en­ tire Northwest released from the freight and passenger blockade that oppressed it for over two weeks. It is reported on the best authority that General Manager Case of the "Great Northern has resigned as the result Jpf a violent quarrel with President Hill. The latter, it is said, accused Case of being responsible for the continuation Of the trouble with the strikers. Case denied that he was responsible for that state of affairs, whereupon Hill billed Case a liar. The President thbn ap­ plied a still more opprobrious epithet to the General Manager, ;who instantly slapped the face of his chiel Mr. Case's resignaticn is now in the hands of Hill • ' . i "I WAS shocked and disgusted be­ yond measure by what I saw at the penthouse, or smallpox hospital," said Dr. Leonard St. John, of Chicago, when asked for his opinion a* to the public danger from the loathsome dis­ ease. "1 am pretty well accustomed to revolting sights and smells in connec­ tion with disease, but the condition Of' things at the pesthouse was too much for me. That was some time ago, and I am informed that matters are worse there now. I went there professionally to see a couple of patients. I did not investigate the place par­ ticularly. What I noticed was, forced on my observation.... I see no sufficient excuse for the awful state, of affairs. When more room was needed it should have been secured at once. The powers of the Health Commissioner are veiy exten­ sive. When I visited the pesthouse there were some 200 patients there, and to care for them were ten Sisters.

This is shamefully ,inadequate. But the Sisters had to do all the work of the place, all of the cleaning, scrub­ bing, cooking, and waiting on the pa­ tients. At that time there was no male nurse there, and when the pa­ tient became delirious there was no one but the women to hold them. When a patient died the Sisters had to carry the loathsome corpse down a harrow winding stairway, and out to the deadhouse. So narrow was the stairway that it was impossible to bring the dead body down. I am told that two male nurses have been added to the staff since then, but the number of oatients has increased enormously." SOUTHERN. .

THE corner-stone of the Pythian University was laid at Gallatin, Tenn., with imposing ceremonies by the Knights of Pythias. The university is I to be international in its scope, as its support will come from the Knightis of ; Pythias of the entiie world. The con- j templated cost of the'Building to be | erected is $100,000. A b'g barbecue J burner was a feature of the celebration. FIRE broke Out at 11 o'clock Satur­ day night in the St. Charles Hotel, the largest and finest hotel in New Or­ leans. Many of the guests had retired and were aroused with difficulty, i A number of persons wpre seen at a fourth story window ,1 Surrounded by flames and gesticulating wildly to the people below. The clothing of one of them caught fire and, with a scream, he sprang from the window, falling on his head on the pavement and da-hing out his brains. Three other* who were near him perished. The Commerce street side and rear of the hotel burned first, allowing most of the guests to , . rank as a coke State, Ala- •tands second, while Illinois gave the smallest product. The highest value for the product is reported in Montana at $9 a ton, and the lowest in Georgia at $1.50 a ton. The yield of coal in coke wan 63£ per cent., and the amount used in the manufacture of coke was 1-1,895,$45 short tons. THE agricultural appropriation bill reported to the House by Chairman Hatch, of the Committee of Agricul­ ture. appropriates $."*,480,643 for the fiscal year ending June M0. 1895. Com­ pared with the appropriation for the present fiscal year, this is a decrease of $142.85<i very little change has been made in the salary list, but a reduction of $513,820. in the aggregate has been accomplished by a rearrangement of the service and by consolidation of offices wherever prac­ ticable. Authority is gi/en to continue investigations with a view to extend­ ing the demands of foreign markets for the agricultural prod; cts of the United States, and to continue inquiries as to the best system of road making, the same appropriation as last year being provided. A reduction in the appro- Kriation for the weather bureau has een made, amounting to $74,277. The decrease is mainly in salaries, though contingent and general expenses have been considerably reduced, without, it Is hoped, in the lea*t impairing the usefulness and efficiency of this valu­ able service. - " -- FOREIGN,"" THAT Brazilians appreciate the, Mon­ roe doctrine of the United States, is shown by the fact that popular sub* scriptions are being taken to erect a statue of President Monroe at Rio Janeiro. President Cleveland will be invited to send a fleet of war vessels to attend the unveiling on July 4. A TERRIBLE accident occurred at Brahilov, Roumania, in which many lives were lost. While the pier was WPS crowded with people, in holiday .attire, bound for Galitz, on the Dan­ ube, waiting for the steamer which was to convey them to that place, the pier gave way'and threw 120 people in­ to the water. Many of the excursion­ ists are believed to have been drowned. A SHARP shock of earthquake was felt in Athens Tuesday. Several light­ er shocks followed, but na further damage was done. Reports from the stricken districts confirm the most alarming reports as to the loss of life and amount of damage. It is believed that when the total loss of life from earthquake disasters and from subse- S[uent expqsut e of the homeless people s added up it will be found that nearly, if not quite, five hundred peo­ ple have lost their lives through the recent calamities. DURING the Friday Epitaphion pro­ cession in the cathedral at Athens, a violent earthquake shock occurred. The cathedral wa? crowded with devo­ tees, who started for the doors, but were partly calmed by M. Tricoupis, the Prime Minister, who was one of the worshipers, and the people dis-( persed. The shock was felt through­ out the country, and immense damage ^yas done. Thebes and Atalanta are now completely destroyed. Incalcula­ ble damage was also done at Lamia, Larissa. \ olo, Chalcis, and Patras. At Lamia the walls of the prison fell, and many of the uninjured prisoners made their escape. Thousands are home­ less, and there is little doubt that there has been a great loss of life. m GENERAL THE t^ittSdian government fWpOsefe to place a supply of tuberculine in the hands of veterinarians throughout the country to test its efficacy in tubercu­ losis.

The politicians of the country are in the saddle. This is no unmeaning phrase this year, for 1894 promises to eclipse in interest even a presidential eleotion. In fact, it promises to fore­ shadow accurately tjie campaign Of 1890. For this reason all the talent of the various parties is already being brought to the front, primed with a mass of campaign material growing out of the silver, the tariff, and the Hawaiian controversies of the vast year. Local issues will be merged in those created by the leaders of the na­ tion, and as over twenty Senators are to*be chcsen by the Legislatures which are to be alocted this year, and an en­ tirely new.House of Representatives is to be voted for, a change in the com­ plexion of the legislative branch of the country lies in the balance.

A Judge of the Su­ preme Court, State Superintendent of Schools, and a Railroad Commissioner will be elected. Kentucky elects Judges of its Court of Appeals and county officers. Its Legislat­ ure has already named Senator William Lindsay, whose term expires in 1805, to succeed himself. Florida has its Stats election October 4 In addition to State officers, it *111 choose a Juratioe of the Supreme Court and a Legislature. No senatorial vacancy in its delegation will occur nntli 1897. Texas *lects all It* State, county, and precinct efflcers this year and a Legisla­ ture which will choose a successor to Sen­ ator Coke.

The large reduction is due to the depression in the blast fur- na£e industry.

The Senators whose terms expire March 4, '1895, are: John T. Morgan, of Alabama; James II. Berry, ot Arkansas; Edward O. Woleott, of Colorado; Anthony Hlggins, of Delaware; George 1J. Shonp, of Idaho; Shelby M. Cullom, of .Illinois; James F. Wilson, of Iowa; John Martin, of Kansas; Wm. Lindsay, of Kentucky; Donelnon Caffery, of Louisiana; Wm. P.

Carey, of Wyoming. In addition to these, vacancies for the terms ending in 1896 are to be filled by the Legislatures of Wyoming, Mon­ tana, and Washington. Iowa has al­ ready elected Congressman Gear, to succeed Senator Wilson. Virginia has elected CoL Martin to fill the place of EppaHunton. Kentucky has chosen Senator Lindsay to succeed himself. The Legislature of Louisiana will also have the naming of the successor to Judge White. Senator Walthall will resume the Senatorship in 18!,* i. So, on the whole, the Stats legislative con­ tents will perhaps be of most impor­ tance. Summary of the Situation. New Hampshire Is one of the Eastern States in which the light for both Senato­ rial and Gubernatorial honors has already begun, and it will attract national attea- tion. Ex-Senator Blair has entered the field for the seat now occupied by Senator William E. Chandler, and Charles H. Burns is a close third for the same honor. New Hampshire votes on Nov. 0, as do all the rest of the States that have electiona In New York both parties are preparing for an aggressive contest. It Is more than likely that Gov. Flower will secure a re- nomlhiitlon. The Republicans are already looking about for Gubernatorial timber, and among those talked of are Elihu ltoot, Cornelius Bliss, Mayor £chieren of Brook­ lyn, Judge Oaynor, and possibly ex-rYAte president Levi P. Morton. Vermont votes Sept. 4, and elects its State and county officers and a Legislature. As yet the sentiment of the State as to nominees has taken no definite shape, al­ though Gov. Fuller will probably secure a renouilnation. Connecticut always votes twice In the fall. Its town elections take place in October and its State elections In Novem­ ber. A.11 tbe State officers are to be chosen. Senator Hlggins will have to contend for re-election ip Delaware. His State votes for Governor, two-thirds of the State Senate, the entire Assembly, and for all the principal county official*. Maine has its State election on Sept. 10. It will elect an entire State ticket and a Legislature, which will cUuose a successor to Senator Frye. PciiKsylvss's elects one-half lit State Senate, its entire lower house, a Governor. Lieutenant Governor. Secretary of Inter­ nal Affairs, and an Auditor General Massachusetts elects its State officers and a Legislature to choose a successor to Senator Hoar. • Ohio votes only for Secretary ot State, minor State officer* and for Congressmen. The Sooth. In the South the battle royal is being fought out in Georgia, which does not vote until Oct. a, but as a Senator is to Ms chosen the contest«' already rather warm. The aspirants for tho Senate are Governor WJJJ'um J. Northen, A. O. Bacon of Macon, and Fleming G. Du Bignon of favanuatw t'ecrettry 'of tbe interior Hoke Smith, Speaker Crisp and Congressman Henry G. Turner are among tho possibilities, though neither of them is a candidate. To draw the line through the group of active can­ didates for the place would put Northen and Bacon together on the anti-adminis­ tration side, and leave Da Bignon alone on the other. . The' term of Senator Butler, of South Carolina, expires within a year, and the Populists, under tbe leadership of Gov. Tilimnn. are already planning to capture . the Legislature which is to choose trie State's next representative In the upper hoase of Congresa With fc'eaator Irby. a Populfst-Democrat, as one representative, it u the belief of Gov. Tillman that he himself can succeed la capturing the longer terra. South Carol lea elects State ottosM as weJ* West Virginia votes for a* Legislature which will choose Senator Camden's suc­ cessor. The West. Kansas promises the nation a fdur-cor- nered fight. Tbe stalwart Democrats have decided to put a State ticket in the field, and the Republicans will name some such man as Ady, Humphreys, Funston or Case Broderick. The fusionlstS may unite on Congressman Harris, a Democrat, or oa Gov. Llewelling, Thomas J. Hudson, Jerry Simpson or William Baker. A> the suc» cessor to Senator Martin, who now fills out the term of tbe late Senator Plumb, is to be chosen by the Legislature, ex-Senator Ingalls will undoubtedly take an active part in the campaign looking to as elec­ tion as Senator next winter. Kansas electa an entire State ticket, the entire lower house, a portion of the State Senate and county officers everywhere. In Oregon, all State, county, and pre­ cinct officers are to be voted for. 'ihe Populists, under the command of Messra Waldrop, Marksberry, and Fitch, will have a full ticket in the field. At present Its Governor, hylvester Pennoyer, Its Attor­ ney General, and Its Adjutant General are Democrats, while tbe remaining officers are Republican. The Legislature to be chosen will have the successor to Senator Joseph N. Dolph to elect. The Populist nomination for Governor will probably go to Nathan Pierce, and it is not unlikely,' that the party will support Gov. Pennoyer for Senator Dolph's place. Senator Wolcott, ot Colorado, will succeed himself in March. 1893. His State, bow- ever, has a bitter contest on band for 1804. Gov. Walte, who WHS chosen by the fusion of the silver Democrats and the Populists, expects to run again, and the Republicans will make a warm effort to defeat him. Colorado electa all its State officers la NO­ VUM ber. Illinois elects 6tate Treasurer, Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction, three Trus-. tees of the University of Illinois, half the State Senate, and 153 members of tbe lower bouse. , In addition county officers will be chosen everywhere, and the Legis­ lature will choose a successor to Senator Oil llom. Nebraska elects a Legislature which will have Senator Mafjderson's successor to choose. In addition the State votes fyr, Gdvernor, Lieutenant Governor. Treasurer,' Auditor. Secretary of State, Attorney Gen­ eral. Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings, and Superintendent of Public instruction. Wisconsin votes for Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Superin­ tendent. Commissioner of Insurance and Railroad Commissioners, half of tbe State Senate and the entire lower hotisa No senatorial election is on the tapis to etog legislation this year. In Indiana the offices to be filled are those of Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer. Attorney General, Judge of the Supreme Court, Superintendent of Public Instruction, State Geologist, and State Statistician. No Senatorial vacancy will exist, and so the legislative fight is not of national interest. Iowa's Legislature does not meet next year, and the successor to Senator Wilson has already been chosen In the person of Congressman Gear. The State votes for Secretary. Auditor, Treasurer, Railroad Commissioner, Judge and Clerk of the Su­ preme Court • , Wyoming elects Its State officers and State Senators for four years. Its As­ semblymen and county officers hold Office two years. This year ail these offices will be filled and the Legislature will elect a successor to Senator Joseph M. Carey.
