WASHINGTON LETTER.
Unveiling of tho Statuo of Gen.
John A. Logan
President McKlnlry Kjrnerts to Attend the
Vnvelllna; or (ten. LogAn's Statue At
ChfcAfro July 2'ind Hawaii Annexa
tion Mailer"- General Stewart I..
Woodford, Minister to Spain Notes.
The President has no moans of
knowing to a certainty that the
tariff hill will beeomea law inside of
a month, but ho fools so confident
that it will that ha has promised to
attend the unveiling of tho statue
of General John A. Logan, in Lake
Front Park, Chicago, on July 2''nd,
with as many members of the Cabi
net as can make it convenient to
accompany him. In order to pro
vide against unexpected contingen
cies, President MeKinley stipulated
that his promiso should not bo con
sidered binding if the tariff bill wero
not disposed of in time for him to
reach Chicago on the date specified.
Senator Chandler, who made a re
cord as Secretary of the Navy,
was n.sked what he thought of tho
English statement that the annexa
tion of Hawaii would make it neces
sary for us to largely increase our
Navy. Ho replied "I do not agree
with the opinion that we must
largely increase our Naval force be
cause we are about to annex Hawaii
The future power of the United
States will not lio in its Navy. Wo
will be great because we have un
limited and easily convertible re
sources. If we want a Navy, we
can got one. If a war should come
in which Italy, for instance, whs
not concerned, we could buy the
whole Italian Navy in 24 hours.
There will be no larger Naval ap
propriations coincident with , the
ratification of the Hawaiian treaty,
but when we want a Navy we can
get it."
The ultimate ratification of the
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
is regardod as so certain, notwith
standing the talk of the handful of
Democratic Senators who are op
posed to it, that no effort will be
made to piinh it to a vote at this
session of Congress. Tho President
is perfectly satisfied to have it go
over to the regular session, as he re
gards the souding of tho treaty to
tho Senate as all that woa necessary
to notify the world of our intention
to annex the island.
Senator Hanna has grown very
tired of denying the story origina
ted by some one in the employ of a
Now York paper, that tho wages of
minors in his employ, in Pennsyl
vania, had boon out to the lowest
price ever paid in the Pittsburg dis
trict 54 cents a ton. Speaking on
the subject. Senator Hanna said :
"Thore has heon a reduction of
wages, but hot those of the men em
ployed by any of the companies in
which I am interested. I was asked
to join and refused to do so. Mv
men are still receiving 60 cents a
ton. " Of course it would be expect
ing entirely too much to ask that
this very positive donial should
operate to keep the original lio out
Democratic papers.
Sonator Hanna and soveral mem
bers of the Ohio delegation in tho
House have gone home to attend
the State convention. The story
that Sonator Foraker romainod in
Washington because he was opposod
to Sonator Hanna was, of course, of
Democratic origin. Sonator For
aker whon asked about it, said there
wasn't the slightest foundation for
such a yarn, as he is heartily in fav
or of Senator Hanna's election, and
certain that it will bo accomplished.
He romainod in Washington as a re
sult of an agreement with Sonator
Hanna, it being thought best that
one of them should be constantly in
his seat in the Senate while the tar
iff bill is under consideration.
Gonoral Stewart L. Woodford, the
new United (states minister to Spain,
lias many artmirers among the Re-
publicans who attended tho National
convention, which nominated Hayes
and Wheeler. After Hayes was
nominated. General Wheeler heard
that the Indiana delegation had de
cided te support him for the Vice
Pro-udoncy. According to Col. W.
It. Holloway, who was there, and
who is now in Washington, this is
what Gen. Woodford said to his In
diana friends: "No, no, gentle
men ; don't think of that, Wm. A.
Wheeler is a stronger man in the
State of New York than I am, and I
beg that you will give him Indiana's
thirty v'ctes. What we need and
must ha ve to elect Go. Hayes, is
New York's electoral vote. Don't
consider me for one moment.but vote
for my friend. Wheeler, and assist
us to carry the Empire State for the
nominees of this convention." The
result is history.
While the Republicans enjoyed
the accusations aud counter accusa
tions hurled by Domocratio senators
against each others, they would
have much preferred that the time
so wasted had btjon put in on the
tiirifl' bill. Everybody knows how
wide apart the Democratic Senators
are on the tariff and many other
things, but the country is iiniatient
ly waiting for the tariff bill to be
come a law.

OBITUARY.
SAMUEL HALL NIDIIOL.
The community was inexpressibly
moved with sorrow at the announce
ment of the death of tins noble
young man when the news came
flashing over the wires last Friday.
Not at the mere fact of death be
cause he comes to all ages and con
ditions, alike unbidden Hnd uuwel-
-.-11--..,
come, but because or uie suuucu ami
wholly unexpected inte'iligeneo of
the fact. Tho first telegram to his
family announcing the sickness of
the young man came Thursday and
then they followed iii quiet sueoes
sion until Friday at 2 o'clock p. m.
when one camo stating that all was
over. His father lett on tno even
iug train Thursday but not in time
to reach the bedside of his beloved
son, his Benjamin, until too late to
clasp the living form in his parental
arms. Mr. meliol was seized with
appendicitis which apparently devel
oped in a rapid inannor, and an op
eration was performed Thursday
evening from which he did not rally
an j passed away on Friday noon.
He- was born about twonty-fivo
years 0o at Queens, Long Island,
and when his father, Rev. Thomas
Nichol, was called to the pastorate of
tho Presbyterian church herein 1890.
camo with the family and resided
here about two years and after a
year in the business college at
Poughkoepsio, went to Grand Rap
ids, Mich., to accept a business situa
tion. While hero his pleasant man
ners, bright intelligent face and gen
tlemanly, upright deportment, mado
warm frionds of all with whom he
come in contact.
Ho was in all senses of the words
a noble young man ana one on
whom any father would dote and to
whom a mother's love would go out
in all its boundless width and un
fathomable depths. In this hour of
their bereavement tho family do not
mourn alone, the community shares
thoir grief ond would offer such poor
consolation as softenod hearts and
sinoerest words of Christian com
fort may afford.
The family chain is broken the
first immediate link has parted but
a tio binds tho survivors now more
closely to that hoavonly land whore
parting shall he no more, where i
earth's sorrows shall fade away be-1
fore tho light of an endless and
happy reunion.
Surviving are the grief-slricken
parents, and brothers and sisters as
follows : Rov. Thos. McBrido Nich
ol, of Germantown, Pa. ; Mrs.
Joseph It. Ciu-ponter, of Grand Rap
ids, Mich ; Bayard and Susan at
homo.
Tho remains woro brought to
Owego, N. Y. for burial on Sunday
and brief funeral services were held
there on Monday at 3 o'clock.
( From The Gruiul Kaplda Evening Fri'S ,
June 10, 1K97.)
Samuel Hall Nichols, book-keeper
for Stickney Bros. Company, died
yesterday at tho U. R. A. hospital
after an operation for appendicitis.
Mr. Nichols had been feeling a little
iudisposod for sovoral days, but at
tributed it to some temporary de
rangement. Ho was in the otiieo ns
usual Wednesday, but that night
was taken suddenly ill. Dr. J. B.
Griswold, the family physician, was
called in at once ond ho diagnosed
the case as appendicitis. Dr. Graves
was called in consultation and it
was decided that the only - hope of
life was an operation. He was im
mediately removed to tho hospital
ano every eltort known to science
mado to thwart the disease, but the
operation disclosed tho fact that the
disease was in too far an advanced
stage. Thers was no hope of saving
his life.
Mr. Nichols was born in Queens,
Long Island, August 10, 1872. He
had a largo acquaintance among the
young people of the city, to whom
his -death comos as a personal be.

Again wo aro called to indite tho
sad memorial which announces tho
departure of one who for many years
has been well kuowu in this her
adopted town.
Mrs. Wood (nee French) was born

and was the daughter of an English
Surgeon aud physician who lost his
life through blood poisoning while

When the array of delivory and

Gumblos a moving panorma of
