DEATH OF A STATESMAN,

Vahi!.ok, Doc. 21, Sonator Preeton
, Plumb, ot Kanaos, died suddenly of apo
plexy shortly before noon Sunday. His
death occurred In the unpretentious three
story boarding house, 010 Fourteenth street,
In which convenient location ho had for the
lost fire or six aoasons token up his quortors
daring tho sessions of congress. In a very
short epace-of time the cows spread over the
city, and tho expressions of regret wore uni
versal and not confined to any political
party.
Vice President Morton, accompanied by
Mrs. Cameron, wife of Senator Don Camer
on, of Pennsylvania, was ono ot the earliest
callers and placed his services at the dis
posal of tho friends of tho doad senator.
Sonator Potter, Mr. Plumb's Alliance col
league, remained In attendance several
hoars, answering questions and rendering
any assistance In his power. During tha
afternoon nearly every sonator m town
either called in person or sent a message ot
condolenoe, and some ot the most earnestly
expressed of tho latter came from senator!
on the Democratic side, byidl of whom the
Kansas statesman was respected. Mr.
Charles D. Reade, assistant sergeant at arms
of the senate, took chargo of the remains
and caused telegrams to be sent to the ab
sent wife and chUdren of the dead senator.

Sir. Plumb has been ailing more or less
ever since the close of his herculean labors
in the lost campalcm In his state, which re
sulted so satisfactorily to himself and his
party. lie was at all times an indefatigable
worker, but in this campaign ho outdid
himself. On his return to Washington he
ttempted to throw into his senatorial duties
his accustomed ardor, but complained that
he could not concentrate his faculties with
hta accustomed readiness. IIo frit dazed
and uncertain both mentally and physically,
On the street no occastonouy lost Himself.
Several days ago, just after the opening of

the senate, walking with Colonel E. O,
Manning, his frequent companion, be stop
ped as Mr, Manning was about to leave
him, and said. "Don't go, Manning; I want
you to stay by me; I don't know exactly
where I am." IIo thought the trouble
might arise from some impairment of his
vision, and after the adjournment of the
Benate on Thursaay lost went to rnuauei-
phia, where hla eldest son is under treat
ment for defective eyesight, to take advice
in his own case. The eminent medical man
he consulted told him frankly that unless he
gave himself on immediate rest and exer
cised the greatest care, softening of the
Drain talent result.
About 2 o'cIock ra the morning he aroused
bis landlord, Mr. Jennings, saying be felt
really ill, and asked him to send for a doctor.
Dr. Philip S. Wales, ex-surgeon general of
the navy, was summoned and remained In
charge of the case until the end. Hypoder
mic injections were administered, and about
7 o'clock In the morning the senator became
unconscious and continued in a state of coma
with scarcely any intermission until bis
death. Just before he dozed off he raised his
hand to tbe back of bis bead, where bo hod
all along complained of feeling Intense pain,
and exclaimed, "uu, uou, my neaa."
The End Cam Smlilcmly.
Shortly after 11 p. m. he commenced to
breathe stentorlously and Mr. Jennlng8,who
was watching by bis bedside with the sen
ator's secretary, became alarmed. When
Dr. wales arrived the senators race bad
turned purple, and It was apparent that
apoplexy had supervened. The surgeon
called for stimulants, and Mr. Jennings ran
to a neighboring drug store cud seized some
spirits, with which he Immediately re
turned. 'It is too late." said burgeon wales, and
almost immediately afterward tbe senator
expired.
Dr. wales says the immediate cause or tne
senator's death was apoplexy, brought on
by fatty degeneration of tho brain from
overwork and fatigue.

WAsniNOTON, Dec 24. Speaker Crisp left
Washington last night for his home in Ameri
cus, Ga., where 1 will spend the holidays.
While not seriously 111, Mr. Crisp la still quite
weak, the result of a bad cold and recent
hard work. The speaker hns appointed his
son clerk to tbe speaker's table, vice Edwin
T, Goodwin. Young Crisp resigned his po
sition as clerk In one of the executive de
partments Tuesday. Before Speaker Crisp
left the city he announced his long looked
for committee appointments. As every one
expected, William M. Springer was made
chairman of the wnys and means committee.
Mills was given several Important places,
but none to compare in importance with the
wayB and means berth. The voteran Indi
ana congressman, William M. llolman, was
named as chairman of the Important appro
priations committee.
The Mills men are very bitter at the treat
ment their leader has received, and are
not placated by the small places given to
the Mills supporters. Tho southern men
severely criticise the feet that tbe north has
three-fourths of the Important committee
places. They Bay that the speaker, In his
anxiety to be fair, went too far, and
snubbed tho south unnecessarily.

Trecertent Thruit Aside.
The prediction that Speaker Criflp, in mak
ing up his committees, would do violence
to the rule of precedence as established by
years ot practice, was verified by the list as
announceu.
Speaker Crisp made better time iutbe
announcement of his committees than
either Mr. Carhslo or Mr. Beed. The for
mer did not announce his list In tho Fiftieth
congress until Jan. 5; Mr. Reed on Dec. 21
But In the latter caso congress met Dec. 2,
so that Speaker Roed consumed nineteen
dayB In making up his list while Mr. Crisp
completed tne job m sixteen days. The an
nouncement of tho bouse committees neces
sarily disappointed some mombcrs, but
there is no more than the usual fault find
ing over tho result. Mr. Crisp's friends are
much pleased In pointing out that the
speaker in his selections gave good places to
some who did not support bim for speaker.
The committees on ways and means, on ap
propriations, and on coinage weights and
measures are supiosed to reflect the policy
ox tne nouse as to inose matters most lm
portent to tbe Democratic party.
The ways and means committee repre
sents every section of the country, but it is
pointed to as an indication of progressiva
tariff reform policy that the most advanced
tarux reformers ox the several sections have
been selected to constitute the committee.
Tbe committee on appropriations Is record
ed as very stronff, and it is believed to indi
cate that a policy of strict economy is going
to be roiiowed.
BThere is some difference of opinion as to
tne meaning ox tne construction ox the coin
age committee. A majority of its members
are known to favor free coinage, and from
this it is inferred by most persons at first
blush that it means that a free coinage bill
is to be passed. It is said, however, that
the free coinage men on the committee have
been selected with a view to their conserva
tism and judgmont, and that tho interest of
the Democratic party will stand first before
an things.
Proceedings In the Senate.
WASnmoTosr, Dec, 23. Senator Ouav in
troduced a bill fixing the pension of soldiers
who have contracted total deafness in the
service of the United States at seventy-two
dollars per month, and for all lesser de
grees a pension on tbe same ratio. Senator
Turpie introduced a bill appropriating
11,600,000 tot a new public building at In
dianapolis. Senator rlisle introduced (for
Senator MePherson) a bill Increasing from
tl00,000 to llfiO.000 the appropriation for the
public building at Camden, N. J. Senator
Stanford introduced a bill appropriating
$950,000 for the extension of tho executive
mansion In accordance with plans proposed
by Mrs. Ilarrison.

Elklns for Secretary of War
Washington. Dec. 18. The senate pro
ceedings wore made Interesting from the
start by the completion of the committees
and the presentation of Senator Hill's
credentials.
Expectations of an objection to tho re
ception of Governor Hill's credentials were
not real 12 oi. Tho papers In his case were
read and filed without Incident, after the
committees had been adopted.
After speeches by Mr. Turpie in favor of
choosing presidential electors by tbo popular
vote and by Mr. Stewart on tho silver ques
tion tho senate went into executive session
on the nomination of Mr. Stephen B. Elkins,
of Wost Virginia, as secretary of war. Mr.
Elklns' nomination, it la understood, was
referred without action. There Is some
dissatisfaction among Republican senators
over tho nomination of Mr. Elklns, hut this
is believed to bo not deep enough to cause
any opposition to his confirmation. The
alleged objection to the appointment Is
based on sectional grounds, New England
senators Iwlleving that the war portfolio
should have gone to their section, while the
western men are put out beoauso Acting
Secretary Grant was not promoted.
The political nspoct of tho nomination was
much discussed among members of both po
litical parties in the senate and house. Many
incline to the belief that it is a fororunnor
to tho withdrawal of Mr. Blaine from the
presidential race, and a number did not hesi
tate to say that they believed Mr. Blaine
would shot tly Issue a letter announcing that
he would not be a candidate in 180J.
