FREMONT, 0., Jan. 18.—Ex-President R.
B. Hayes died at 11 o'clock last night, but
the information of his death was not
learned for some time later, as everything
was kept exceedingly quiet in the vicinity
of the Hayes mansion. An early report
that the patient's condition was improving i
and that lie was resting easy allayed most j
suspicion, so that the sudden appearance
of Webb Hayes with the announcement |
that his father had just died proved a shock
to all. From Mr. Hayes it is learned that
the condition of his father took a sudden
RUTHERFORD B. IIAYF.S.
change early in the evening and rapid dis
solution followed. The members of the
family have all along been exceedingly re
ticent regarding the condition of General
Hayes.
II in Last Illness.
Ex-President Hayes was brought here
last Saturday suffering from an attack of
rheumatism of the heart, with which he
had been stricken at Cleveland. It was the
second attack of the kind he had received
within two weeks, and although his condi
tion was regarded as somewhat serious
and excited the alarm of his family, the
encouragement given them by Dr. Hilbest,
the family physician, led them to believe
that the patient would soon recover. For
this reason all knowledge of the ex-presi
dent's illness was kept from the public.
The sickness had been watched during
the day and evening with much interest by
the friends of the general, and as is gener- I
ally the case many conflicting rumors were
afloat, but an interview with Rutherford
P. Hayes appeared to reduce the facts to a
statement that his condition was practi
cally unchanged. The members of the
family passed the day quietly remaining at
the family residence quite closely. Webb
has remained with his father almost con
stantly, only leaving the house ashorttime
during the day. Rutherford is associated
with the Fremont Savings bank and spent
part of the morning at his place of busi
ness. In the afternoon he came down town, i
stopping at the telegraph office presumably
to answer some of the many telegrams that
are constantly pouring in upon them. Dur
ing the afternoon Miss Lucy Elliott Keeler,
a relative of the Hayes family, spent sev
eral hours with them.
The Life of Ex-President Hayes.
After his retirement from the White
House March 4,1881, ex-President Ruther
ford B. Hayes was heard of but seldom.
Occasionally he attended a Grand Army re
union, and he was a prominent figure at
the Columbian celebration and banquet in
New York city Oct. 12-14, 1892. He was al
ways present at the annual meetings of the
board of trustees of the Peabody fund, of
which all ex-presidents are members. But
beyond these modest functions Mr. llaye9
remained in absolute retirement at his
home in Fremont, 0., up to the time of his
death. Mr. Hayes' career furnishes one of
the most interesting chapters in the polit
ical history of the United States.
He was born in Delaware, 0., Oct. 4,
1822, his father having died the preceding
July. He was graduated with honor from
Kenyon college, Ohio, in August, 1842, at
tended Harvard law school for a little over
a year, and was admitted to the bar in 1845.
In November, 1848, his health being some
what impaired, lie went to Texas for the
winter, and after a period of unsettlement
located in Cincinnati the next winter.
Hi* MurriHße to Lury Webb.
On Dec. 80, 1852, lie married Miss Lucy
Ware Webb, daughter of Dr. James Webb,
a physician of high social standing in Chil
licothe. Of their eight children four sons
and one daughter reached maturity. Mrs.
Hayes was noted for her devotion to sick
and wounded soldiers during the war, and
to temperance and public charities in peace.
Her refusal to have wine served in the
White House during her sway there gave
her a world wide fame, and for that action
she received many testimonials of esteem
both from Europe and America.
Under the first call for troops by Presi
dent Lincoln the literary club of which Mr.
Hayes was a member organized a company,
and he was elected captain, and on the 7th
of June following the governor of Ohio
commissioned him major of the Twenty
third regiment Ohio infantry.
HIS HOME AT FREMONT.
lie was judge advocate for a short time,
was commissioned lieutenant colonel Oct.
24, 1861, and greatly distinguished himself
at the battle of South Mountain, Oct. 14,
1802, where he was severely wounded. Soon
lifter he became colonel of the regiment,
and as such particularly distinguished
himself in many movements and battles.
He led a desperate charge on Cloyd moun
tain, and at the first battle of Winchester
won the applause of the whole array. But
it was at the second buttle of Winchester,
Sept. 19,1804, that he won immortal honors.
There he led an assault across a morass,
And his horse having mired he charged on
J foot, and though but forty or fifty men fol
lowed so close as to keep up with him this
squad captured a battery which had been
| deemed perfectly secure. Again at Fish
er's Hill and Cedar Creek lie performed
prodigies of valor, liia commission as
brigadier general soj>n arrived, and on
March 13, 1865, he was made brevet briga
dier general "for gallant and distinguished
services." In the meantime he had been
! elected to congress from a Cincinnati dis
trict.
I It was on this occasion that he made his
famous retort. A friend having written
to him to come home in the fall of 1864 and
canvass the district, he answered with a
rather sharp reproof, ending with this sen
tence, "An officer fit for duty who at this
crisis would abandon his post to elec
tioneer for a seat in congress ought to be
scalped."
He was re-elected in 1860. but his two
terms in congress were uneventful. He
voted with his party throughout, except
on some minor resolutions on finance. In
view of his subsequent prominence as a
"prompt resumptiouist," it is rather singu
lar that these votes indicated an opposition
to strong measures leading toward resump
tion.
In 1867 he was nominated by the Repub
licans for governor of Ohio and was elected.
No election of that era excited more aston
ishment. The state had long been over
whelmingly Republican, the majorities
ranging above 40,000 for some years, yet at
the first election after the soldiers came
home, with a phenomenally lurge vote, the
highly honored general had less than 3,000
majority over Allen G. Thurman, and the
legislature was carried by the Democrats.
That body chose Judge Thurman for the
L'nited States senate.
i Governor Hayes was re-elected in 1809,
this time by over 7,000 majority. He had
now become the exponent of advanced
"hard money" views, and on the platform of
prompt resumption he made his third cam
paign for governor in 1875, receiving about
5,500 majority after a campaign of almost
unprecedented vigor on both sides. In the
meantime he had run for congress in 1872
and been defeated by some 1,500 majority,
and had in 1873 retired from public life and
settled in Fremont, O. Soon after he came
into possession of the large estate of his
uncle, Silas Birchard, which further con
(lrmed him in his resolution to lead a pri
vate life, and he only yielded in 1875 to the
most earnest solicitations of the Republic
ans.
As President of the United States.
His repeated success in Ohio induced the
Republican national convention in 1876 to
nominate him for the presidency after a
deadlock between the two great forces in
the party led respectively by Senator KOB
coe Conkling and Speaker James G. Blaine.
When the election had taken place it
seemed certain that of the 869 electoral
votes 184 would be cast for Mr. Tilden, the
Democratic candidate, being one less than
a majority. There were thirteen electors
in respect to whose election there were
grave questions in dispute. In order to
secure the election of Mr. Hayes all of
these thirteen votes must be counted for
him.
As the Republicans had a majority in the
senate ami the Democrats in the house, it
was certain that the two brauches of con-
MRS. LUCY WEBB HAYES.
I gress would not agree in the counting of
the disputed votes.
In the emergency a proposition was made
by the Democratic leaders to submit the
entire question to an electoral commission
composed of five senators, five representa
tives and five judges of the supreme court.
This commission, by a majority of one,
decided that the disputed votes should all
l>e counted for Mr. Hayes, giving hijn a
majority of one vote, and he was duly
elected.
In financial affairs his administration
was an unequalifled success. It was his
good fortune to become president just at
the time when panic and depression were
giving way to "better times." Seven years
of unexampled deficit in the crops of west
ern Europe and equally unexampled good
crops in the United States made the re
sumption of specie payments possible. The
exports of gr<iin in one year of his adminis
tration exceeded the ten year average be
fore the war, and one year's imports of gold
were greater than all the previous gold im- I
ports since the administration of James K.
Polk.
The exports of wheat alone for the ten
years terminating with June, 1881 (only
four months after President Hayes re
tired), exceeded all preceding wheat ex
ports since the country was settled. Provi
dence had indeed come to the aid of the
country, and President Hayes and his abld
finance minister, John Sherman, had the
nerve to seize the opportunity.
Mrs. Hayes died in Fremont in 1889. On
the day of her funeral thousands of per
sons, many of them in the humbler walks
of life, came from the surrounding country
to pay the last tribute of respect to her
who had been so universally beloved.
From early morning until the hour set for
Ihe obsequies an unending stream of visit
firs poured in through the frontdoor of the
homestead to take a farewell look at the
face of the benevolent but decided woman
who had passed away.
The last public act of ex-President Hayes
was his delivery of the opening address of
■ the national prison congress, of which he
| was president, at Washington in Decern
ber last.
i Mr. Hayes was president of the National
i Prison Reform association and of the
Slater education fund for the negroes; was
a member of the Peabody Education Fund
for the South; was commander of the mili
tary order of the Loyal League of the
United States. The degree of LL. D. was
conferred upon him by Kenyon college,
Harvard university, Yale college and John*
Hopkins university.
A PAPAL DELEGATE.
THE OFFICE MADE A PERMANENT
ONE IN AMERICA.
The Teaching* of the Henry George Theo
ries Coluclde with Those Entertained by
His Holiness —Critics of Satolli Severely
Rebuked.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Mgr. Satolli re
ceived at the Catholic university the follow
ing cable message from Dr. O'Connell, the
American secretary of the propaganda,
who accompanied Mgr. Satolli to this coun
try and recently returned to Rome:
~ _ ROME, Jan. 14.
To MOT*. Satolli:
The apostolic delegation is permanently es
tablished in the United States, and you are
confirmed as the first delegate.
O'CONNELL.
The importance of this message, proceed
ing as it does from the American secretary
of the propaganda, will be readily appre
ciated. Inquiries at the Catholic univer
sity here, where Mgr. Satolli resides, fully
confirm the authenticity of the dispatch.
This decision the Vatican considers to be
a sufficient answer to the opposition to
Mgr. Satolli and his mission.
Early in December the faculty of theol
ogy of the Catholic University of America
in Washington transmitted to the person
of Leo XIII their thanks for the sending of
an apostolic delegate to the United States
and for the selection of the university as
his place of residence. The following au
tograph letter was received in reply:
Leo P. P. XIII to liis most beloved son, Thomas
Bouquillon, dean of the faculty of theology of
the Catholic university at Washington:
HELOVED SON— Health and apostolic benedic
tion. The love and devotion which you and
your colleagues in the Catholic university
at Washington BO felicitously manifest in
your Joint address, written at the approach of
Christmas, were very pleasing to us. We re
joice indeed to see that you welcome with pleas
ure the proof of our paternal solicitude which
we gave you in the mission of our venerable
Brother Francis, titular archbishop of Ijepanto,
and we sincerely trust that In the dischurge of
your noble ministry you will endeavor with all
solicitude that the students taught by you may
be the defense and glory of the church and an
ornament to their fatherland.
In the meantime Invoking upon you and upon
your students an abundant out pouring of divine
wisdom and of every other heavenly gift, we
impart to you, beloved son, and to your col
leagues very lovingly in the Lord the apostolic
benediction.
Given at Rome, at St. Peter's, the 13th day of
December, in the year 1892, in the fifteenth year
of our pontificate. LEO P. P. XIII.
Dr. McGlynn's Teachings Not Obnoxious.
Archbishop Satolli authorizes the pub
lication of a statement in regard to the
pope's action in the case of l)r. McGlynu,
of which the following is a summary:
On the very day of the reconciliation of
Dr. McGlynn with the church public no
lice was given of it, with the statement
that Mgr. Satolli bad absolved from cen
sure and reconciled Dr. McGlynn by special
power for the purpose requested from and
granted by the holy father.
This information so expressed should
have sudiced to satisfy every one. Every
sincere Catholic should at once have felt
himself bouud in conscience to recognize
that all had been done in the case that
was expedient and in accord with the spirit
of the Catholic church.
Dr. McGlynn presented a brief state
mentof hisopinionson moral and economic
matters, and it was judged not contrary to
the doctrine constantly taught by the
church, and as recently confirmed by the
holy father in the encyclical rerum no
varum.
It is deplorable that any one should have
dared to speak of the pope's authority over
the church in America as foreign, and is a
sentiment and utterance enormously erro
neous and scandalous.
THE NEWS OF CONGRESS.
Condensed Report of the Business in Sen
ate and House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. —The senate yes
terday, after an explanation by Mr. Sher
man, passed a bill to extend to the north
Pacific ocean the provisions of the statutes
for the protection of fur seals and other fur
bearing animals. The McGarrahan bill
was under consideration for half an hour,
and after a speech against it by Mr. Mills
it went over till next Monday.
The Republicans in the house filibustered
all day against the consideration of the
private war claims bill, with the result that
nothing was accomplished.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. —The week prom
ises to be eventful in the senate. Save the
passage of the quarantine bill the senate
i has accomplished very little, and
of the annual appropriation bills has been
passed. The committee on order of busi
ness has determined that something must
be done to advance the public business. It
was at the suggestion of Mr. Sherman, j
chairman of that committee, that Mr. |
Washburn gave notice that he would ask !
the senate to sit next Wednesday until the
antioptiou bill is disposed of. That this can j
be done without a bitter struggle is not ex- j
pected. What will follow the antioptiou
bill will be decided by the committee on
order of business before Wednesday. At
present the indications are that priority
will lie between some of the interstate com
merce bills (if Senator Cullom is able to re
sume his duties), the Nicaragua canal
bill and perhaps a resolution to repeal the
silver purchase act.
Mr. Peflfer, of Kansas, is down for a
speech on the limitation of the presidential
term, and Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, on the
McGarrahan bill, both for today.
Actress Fannie Kenible Dead.
LONDON, Jan. 17.—Frances Anne Kern
hie (Mrs. Pierce Butler), the well known
actress, is dead, aged eighty-three. In
1832 she visited America, and with her
father performed with great success at the
principle theaters of the United States. An
account of these wanderings is given in her
"Journal of a Residence in America" in
1835. At this period she became the wife
of Mr. Pierce Butler, a planter of South
Carolina, from whom sheohtained adivorce
in 1839. She resumed her maiden name
and retired to Ijenox, Mass., where she re
sided, with the exception of a year spent in
Italy, for nearly twenty years. From 1869
to 1873 she was in Europe. She then re
turned to America, but subsequently came
back to London, where she resided until
her death. She published many volumes
of her own works.

LABOR CONGRESS AT ALBANY.
Knights of Labor Wo uld Annul Railroad
Charters.
ALBANY, Jan. 13.—At the congress of the
Knights of L, -or a resolution was adopted
condemning the combination entered into
by railroads handling coal. The legislature
under the resolution is asked to annul the
franchises of the New York Central and
Hudson River, Delaware and Hudson, Le
high Valley, West Shore, Lake Erie and
Western; New York, Ontario and Western;
I Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and
the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg
railroads. Other resolutions adopted fa
vored the liberal canal appropriations;
asked the legislature to annul the charters
j of the Bell Telephone company and West
j ern Union Telegraph company because of
I exorbitant charges, and recommended that
i Immigrants be restricted by a primary
I school educational test in the native lan
guage.
Report on the Coal Combine.
J WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Messrs. Coombs
j and Paterson have practically completed
their report to the special committee on the
investigation into the Reading anthracite
coal combination. The report will show
that the aim of the combination is to drive
out independent coal operators and obtain*
a complete control of the anthracite coal
industry, and it is sought to do this by fix
ing a high freight rate on coal, so as to
make it profitable for individuals to turn
in their product at the mines to the com
bination. The report will recommend the
passage of the bill heretofore agreed upon
by the commerce committee, which gives
the interstate commerce commission power
to keep down freight rates. It was con
templated to recommend legislation for
the divorce of the transportation and coal
producing industries, but, the two gentle
men found it impracticable by constitu
tional means to deal effectively with this
matter, though of opinion that it is really
the most efficacious remedy possible.
The Homestead Inquiry.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 14.—The court room
was too small to hold the crowd on the
second day of the trial of Hugh Denipsey
for complicity in the Homestead poison
ings. The day was taken up by the exam
ination of men who had been taken ill
while working at Homestead during the
strike and physicians who attended them.
The physicians all expressed the belief that
the men had been poisoned. Among the
! witnesses were George W. Amy, Louis
, Craig and H. P. Thompson. At the after
noon session Stephen V. Lovelace, William
H. Johnston, Benjamin Weaver, Wilbert
Heard, Charles H. Smith, Louis G. Wolfe,
Jr., W. E. Bullock and William E. Griffith
testified to having been seized with sudden
and severe illness after eating in the Home
stead mill.
The Cleveland Presbytery Favors Peace.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 17—The Cleveland
Presbyterian union adopted a manifesto
deprecating any effort to impose new tests
of orthodoxy or to restrict the liberty
hitherto enjoyed by men who have sincerely
subscribed to the confession of faith. The
union also expressed the belief that the in
terests of the church at large would be con
served by a cessation of ecclesiastical trials
for heresy of men who sincerely profess
their faith in Holy Scripture as the unerr
ing rule of faith and practice and their en
; tire loyalty to the gospel of Jesus Christ as
the son of God. This manifesto lias refer
ence to the proposed appeal of the prosecu
tion in the Briggs case.
; Prescribed Morphine for a Broken Leg.
I BOSTON, Jan. 14.—Court inquiry as to
i the cause of his death proves the fact that
George L. Harlow was sent to the hospital
in Boston with a broken leg. He was at
tended by Dr. Walker, who then sent hirn
j home in a herdic, a distance of five miles,
: giving him a prescription of morphine to
I be taken "a teaspoonful every hour." Har-
I low took the drug for eight hours, sank
1 into a stupor and died. Dr. Walker was
called while Harlow was in the stupor, but
I pronounced the patient to be in no danger
and left without prescribing for him.
A Boston Blaze.
i BOSTON, Jan. 12. —A tire that resulted in
a loss of $35,000 to $40,000 culled theiirenien
* to the six story brick building 109 and 111

unexplained manner on the top floor, occu- j
| pied by the Franklin Typewriting Manu- !
i facturing company and the press rooms of
of H. C. Mandell & Co., printers, and spread
downward to the fifth floor, occupied by
i W. T. Page & Co., slipper manufacturers.

! CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—Director of Works
; Burnham has made another estimate of the
j amount of money necessary to finish the
j World's fair buildings and put Jackson
park in proper shape for opening the gates
of the exposition on May 1. Much to the
i surprise of the board of directors, this esti
mate calls for between $400,000 and $500,000
more than any previous budget prepared
by the director of works.
