JOHN SH Aged Statesman Summons of NOTABLE CAREER ENDED His Demise Is Sincerely Regretted By All, Regardless of Party or Creed?President Issues DrnrlamotSnn a iwmauuvivii rtvvvi ins: Unusual Honor to Dead. Hon. John Sherman, former repre- j sentative in the honse for a long term, ! a member of the senate and twice: x holding cabinet positions, died at his i residence in Washington City-at 6:45 o'clock Monday morning in the seventy-eighth year of his age. His death had been expected for some days, and loving friends gave him their unremitting care and attention to the%nd. * The immediate cause of death was described as brain exhauston, incident to extreme weakness due to old age, and to several attacks of sickness from which he has suffered for the past year and a half. Since Saturday afternoon Mr. Sherman had been for the most time unconscions, rallying partially at - - *- * * intervals wuea suiue sujjut uuunsumenfc -was given him. Sunday afternoon evidences of the approaching end were manifest, and he failed to regain consciousness after 3 o'clock, passing away peacefully just after dawn broke. Several days ago, realizing the critical condition of Mr. Sherman, the members of the household and many relatives sent telegrams to a large number of ihe family connections throughout the country notifying them of-his extreme illness, and some were able to reach there before he died. Moet of those who arrived were at the bedside when the end came, the num. ber including Mr. and Mrs. Colgate Hoyi, of New York; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wiborg, of Cincinnati; Mrs. William K. Otis, of New York city; P. Tecumseh Sherman, a son of the late General Sherman; Charles M. Sherman, of Chicago, and Miss Lizzie Sherman. Others who were at the bedside were Mrs. James McCallum, the adopted daughter, who had been his cou - stant attendant, and her husband. General and Mrs. Miles, the latter a Sherman, were at the honse the greater portion of the day and evening, but left for their home shortly after midnight They were summoned when it was apparent that the end was near, and reached the honee a few minutes after the venerable statesman had passed away. Mr. Sherman had not been in robust health for considerably over a year. In March, 1899, while on a trip to the Trench and Spanish West Indies in . company., with a relative, Frank Wiborg, he suffered a severe attack of pneumania, which almost proved fatal. The ship on which they were ( traveling touched at Santiago, from which place reports came to the United States that the well-known > statesman had succumbed to the disease. He rallied, however, and the family accepted the offer of the United States government to bring him back to the United States on the crniser Chicago, 1 then in the vicinity of Cuba, and he was safely lauded at Fortress Monroe, and brought to his home in Washington. He gained strength, and was strong enough by summer time to vis-1 it his old home in Ohio. The family! Governor Offers Keward.

IERMAN DEAD Answers Silent Grim Reaper. left early in the summer for the old homestead in Mansfield, Ohio. They were there but a short time when Mrs. Sherman, whose health had been very frail, died. This was a severe blow to the secretary, from which he never fully recovered. He remained at Mausfield until the middle of September, when he returned to Washington. Among Mr. Sherman's former associates in the senate his demise will be sincerely felt without reference to party. In this field of activity his service had been particularly able and successful. He had served so long that experience added to his natural talents. He was a recognized master of all the gr.eat public questions past and present, and he had at his finger's end all the array of facts, figures and precedent to give complete elucidation to a subject. He was regarded as a guide, rather than a party leader, for his conservatism, caution, inate good judgment and power of effective execution inspired confidence in any line of action which he advised. This was particularly true in later years, when he hel l a leading place in the senate on the questions of finance aud foreign affairs. The president was at once informed through the state department of Mr. Sherman's demise, and the flags on the public buildings in Washington were lowered at half mast, so to remain until after the funeral. The president, as a mark of special honor to the de' ? 1 it it * ceased, wno was cot at me nine 01 ms death connected in any official capacity with the government of the United States, resorted to the uuusual course of personally preparing an expression of the nation's grief in the shape of a proclamation descriptive of the personal qualities and civic abilities of the deceased statesman. At the state department also a message was framed to be- transmitted to the United States ambassadors, ministers and charges abroad, officially notifying them of the demise of ex Secretary Sherman. The department was ordered closed for business during the funeral services, in order to allow the officials and employees to attend in person. The president was greatly affected by the news. He immediately directed that the white house be closed to visitors, and the flag over the executive mansion placed at half mast. After ordering some beautiful flowers from the white house conservatory, he went in person to Mr. Sherman's late residence to express his grief and offer what consolation he could to the bereaved family. It is khown that Mr. Sherman left a will, but no information as to the contents or even when it will be probated will be obtainable until after the funeral. The president Monday afternoon issued a proclamation announcing the death of Mr. Sherman and paying tribute t> his memory. It says: "Whether in debate during the dark hours of oar civil war, or as the director of the country's finances during the period of rehabilitation, or as a trusted councillor in framing the nn+iz-kn'c Imtts fnr nvpr fnrlv rpflrs. or as the exponent of its foreigu policy, his course was ever marked by devotion to the best interests of his beloved land and by able ahd conscientious effort to uphold its dignity and honor. His countrymen will loDg revere his memory and see in him the type of patriotism, the uprightness and the zeal that go to molding aud strengthening a nation." The proclamation directs that on the day of the funeral the executive offices of the United States display the national dag at half mast, and that the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall pay in like manner appropriate tribute to the illustrious dead for a period of ten days. Hotels In Florida Open. An announcement was made Monday that will interest all the United States, the opening of the winter hotels in Florida.

A "R S Afosplpv nf Tvomo I voJJU"u -* J ? 7 Ga., has resigned his office of vice consul general to Singapore Straits settlements. Captain Moseley was appointed to this position last spring by President McKinley, and expected to leave for his post early this month. He received his passport last Monday signed by Secretary of State Hay. The declination of Captain Moseley to serve comes in the nature of a surprise, as the office carries with it good perquisites and is a high honor. WAD DELL OUT OF K AC F.

OUR FLAG IGNORED. British Warship Arriving at New York Fails to Give the Customary Salute. A New York special says: Frank II. Hoe, former assistant paymaster of her Britannic majesty's navy, was taken from tho Ludlow street jail Monday by deputy United States marshals, who put him aboard the British cruiser Psyche. Hoe is accused cf having embezzled funds belonging to the British government, and with having deserted the British navy. The Psyche did Dot fire the national salute before passing up the bay to her anchorage. The ciuiser passed quarantine shortly after 7 o'clock in the morning and continued up the bay. At Governor's island a detail of twenty men had been aesignecl to the battery below Castle William to respond to the cnstomary salute fired by visiting war vessels. They went to their post at 8 o'elock, and all day long they waited for tho appearance of the Psyche. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon Major Myers, Eleventh infantry, commandant of the military post, went to the battery and inquired whether the Psyche had gone up the river, and was surprised to learn that the cruiser had passed up in the early morning. Major Myers said that be was at a loss to understand why the cruiser had not saluted. It is possible, however, that she went past the island in the fog, which was rather thick at that early hour. Major Myers will write to Sir Percy Sanderson, British consul general,asking for an explanation. The cruiser sailed at 4:30 p. m. for the West Indies. OPEN DOOR DEMANDED. Uncle Sain Approves Alliance to Preserve Territorial Integrity of China. The state department made public Monday the correspondence which has taken place between itself and the French government since the original French note respecting China, which laid down the terms suggested .by France as a basis of negotiation for a settlement. This last correspondence consists of two notes exchanged between Secretary Hav and M. Tbiebaut last week, v v putting iu formal shape certain verbal statements of importance respecting the negotiations. An interesting and most important feature of our answer is the closing suggestion that the powers bind themselves again to preserve Chinese territorial integrity and to maintain the open door exactly the objects aimed at in the British German agreement or alliance which was made public last week. While this note by Secretary Hay bears date of October 19th, and the British-German agreement is assigned the date of October 16ib, the action of this government was taken in ignorance of the agreement, and it is entirely possible that it may have been the means of bringing about the disclosure of its purposes. Our suggestion indicates a favorable response by the United States government to the invitation to join with Great Britain and Germany in the objects specified. JONES DENOUNCES HANNA. Says Trick Played on Sherman Was Heartless and Dlssraceful. A Chicago dispatch says: Senator James K. Jones, roundly denounced Mark Hanoa Monday for his treatment of John Sherman, whose death was being commented upon by Senator Jones. He declared Hauua's treatment of Shermau was outrageous and that it was one of the most heartless tricks ever perpetrated on an American public man. Senator Jones said: l < Tnionr vanra T rarrordoil A TV X' VI UJ.au J J biu a x Sherman as the wisest Republican statesman of the country. He bad great sagacity and foresight and his personality was impressed on the government. I think Mark Hanna's trick by which Sherman was induced to accept a cabinet place under McKiuley and resign his senate seat, so as to make way for Hauna, was the most heartless and disgraceful treatment ever accorded a public man of this country. It was a trick that should bring the blush of shame on Hanna's I face on this day of the death of his victim." AFFECTING COUKT INCIDENT. At Trial of FerriU Child of Slain Man Cne* For "Papa." A most pathetic scene in the court occurred at Marysville, Ohio, Saturday morning during the Ferrill murder trial. Mrs. Lane, widow of the murdered messenger, was iu the court room for the first time as a spectator. She had with her her little eighteen-months old boy, who played about on the ficor for a time, and then came to her knees and piteously called for "papa*" The c~y was repeated at intervals, and the spectators were much moved by the sight. ?AJS UA>I> liitllir.jrs Charge Is Male ISy Republicans That A oers Paid Him $1?5,000.

JURY DESIGNATES THE PENALTY Verdict Was Reached On First Ballot?Sentence Deferred and Prisoner Remanded to Jail. "We, the jury, find this defendant guilty, and fix his punishment at life imprisonment." This verdict was returned by the twelve men who were selected to try Henry E. Youtsey, formerly Governor Taylor's stenographer, on the charge of being a priucipal in the shooting of Governor William Goebel in front of the executive building at Frankfort, January 30th. When the jury entered the courtroom at Georgetown a few minutes after 9 o'clock Saturday morning, Judge Cantrill asked: Gentlemen, have you made a verdict?" Foreman H. McCabe nodded his head. "Pass up the papers to the clerk," said the judge. The sheriff passed them up, and the clerk then read the following verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty, and fix the punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for life." "Gentlemen, is that your verdict?" asked the judge. "It is," was the reply. "Gentlemen, ycu are now finally discharged, and you can call on the trustees of the jury fund for your pay," said Judge Cantrill. The jury filed out of the room, and the most dramatic trial in the Kentucky courts for many years was at an j end. It was learned that no ballot was ; taken Friday night, although its practically agreed that a verdict of guilty would he found. Saturday morning the vote was unanimous that Youtsey was guilty. Then the degree of punishment was taken up. On this question the jury j was somewhat divided, but finally j agreed upon the life sentence. Henry Youtsey is the third man to ! be found guilty in connection with the Goebel shooting. Caleb Powers, tried on the charge of complicity, was sentenced to life imprisonment, while James Howard, j tried on an indictment charging him j with being a principal in the shooting, i was sentenced to death. During the early days of Yontsey's trial the prisoner exhibited signs of j breaking down. While Arthur Goebel, I brother to the dead man, was on the j stand testifying, Youtsey rose in the I prisoner's dock and denounced the I witness in wild exclamations, while j Yontsey's wife screamed that Goebel had sworn away the life of her hus- ! i band. Later the prisoner became unconscions and, according to attending physicians, has since practically been inanimate. Each day his bed had been carried to the door of the jury room, * * - . D 1 wUero it stood in piam view 01 iuo j court, its occupant apparently oblivij our to his surrounding, i Motions for a continuance were over' ruled by Judge Cantrill, who declared J that he was powerless to stop the trial 1 unless the defendant be adjudged a ! lunatic. Youtsey, ou Friday, showed j considerable improvement, however, ! and his physiciaus stated that he had i resumed taking nourishment in the j regular manner, while his respiration : was rapidly becoming normal. The defense tiled a motion for an arj rest of judgment, and Judge Cantrill ! set it for hearing on the second day of the February term. Therefore, Youtsey will not be sentenced until next year. Youteey was ordered removed to the j Frankfort jail. Alabama Has 1,828,697 Population.

The affair canned considerable excitemeut for a while. Jury Kcbuked Bj* Judgo. For the third time Orangeburg jnrie3 have been rebuked by tko courts? ! once by the supreme and twice by circuit court judges. Jtldge Buchanan j has set aside the verdict recently reni dered in the case of Brown against Oraugeburg county, in which the widow of ft negro who was lynched sued the county for $'2,000, as provided in the constitution. This was the third trial and as in* previous ones, the jury promptly found for the de- . fendant county, and for the third time the verdict has been set aside and declared to be in conflict with the law and the evidence. It is the opinion of Orangeburg people that no jury will be drawn to find for the plaintiff, and the lawyers are equally certain that no judge will let a verdict for the conn y stand, so there is a deadlock. It has been suggested that the legislature b9 urged to take more special action in this case. * * * Declined To ueieas*e rur.?on oriuun. , Rev, Dr. D. J.

After two days of discussion and fighting a committee, appointed for the purpose, made a unanimous report in which it said in part: "Your committee is of the opinion that the statement of Dr. Brimm is at j variance with the standards of the ; Presbyterian church in the United | States aud that the view of divine heal| ing as set forth therein is unscriptural. j We therefore recommend that Dr. | Brimm be informed of this deliberate j judgment cf the presbytery that he be j admonished agaiust the same and that i he is hereby enjoined against teaching j j or promulgating it in any way." * * * Shot Ilia Own Son.

After the fight the Laugly boys left the house aud were joined by Harvey Langlv, father of Melville; they waited for Faller to come out. While waiting Melville went around the house, and coming toward his father, was mistaken for Fuller. The elder Langly fired, the bullet entering the side and j passing through both lungs. Langly j ran to the station house and reported that he had killed Ids sou, but he later asserted that his son was shot by Ful- j j ler.

Talley, county clerk, placed in the hands if Sheriff Coleman executions for the collection of delinquent city taxes. These executions wiil cover back taxes from 1894 tip to and including 1899, and there are about 1,300 to be served. The total amouut of taxes not collected in that time will aggregate $20,000. This amount, indeed, will be a welcome addition to the funds in the city treasury, whero it is needed. These executions do not cover back taxes prior to 1894 for tbe reason that the city had no lien prior to that time and delinquencies up to 1894 could not be collected only by lawsuit. ?*?"

"The plenipotentiaries demand au ! immediate cessation of hostilities beI cause of their offer, and request au in! terview with the tsung li yamen for j October 21st. "Eeplying to the note, M. Pichon, ; the French minister, said that China having recognized that she had violated the law of nations, was bound to accept, for that very reason, the responsibilities involved. Consequently he demanded that exemplary punishment be indicted upon.the principals guilty, namely, Prince Tuan, Prince Chwang, KangYiaiid Tung Fu Ksiang, adding that as long as their heads had not fallen it was impossible to cease hostilities. "Owiug to the arrival of Count von i Waldersee, General Veyrhring, commander of the French forces, has decided to not prolong his stay in Pekiu until he receives fresh orders." DISPATCH FBO.M CONQEB. A Washington special ?ays: Minister Conger was heard from at the state department Thursday. He communicated by cable the substance'of certain propositions advanced by Prince Ching and Li Hung Cbang as a basis for the conduct of negotiations for a settle| ment of the Chinese trouble. I The Chinese government had prepared the way for these by a preliminary action looking toward the punishment of Chinese officials guilty of complicity in the boxer uprisings,and, while the text of Mr. Conger's communication is not ^jPade public, it is believed that the la^ Chinese advance is addressed to some of the propositions contained in the French note, being in the nature of a counter propo t j sition and proceeding upon the theory ! that what has been done in the matter ! of pnni&hments is sufficient to meet j the demands of the powers in tbairej spect. It was learned at the state departi ment that Mr. Conger's previons in1 structions tit him perfectly to deal i with the new phase of the Chinese sitj uation developed by the general ao; ceptauce of the French note as the ! basis for present action. M. Thiebaut, the French charge, ; called at the state department and | proposed to '.he secretary the immeI diate institution at Pekin of negotiaI tious for a settlement, and it appears ; that the secretary agreed to do his part. His promise was made verbally, and it may not be redneed to writing i j at all, but Mr. Conger is already acting j iu conformity therewith.Most of the powers have accepted i ! the French note with reservations, bat i J it is said that they all agree upon a i sufficient number of points of the first ; magnitude to warrant the assembling 1 of the diplomatic body at Pekin to j the work of formulating objects of common desire, and reconciling divergent views.
