T HE E VENLN G G AZ E T TE BX—SBNATOR DOOLITTLB DEAD. Was a Prominent National ~Figure During the War Period. _ Providence, July 28. —Ex-United States Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin died today at the home of his daughter, at Edgewood, near this city, of Bright’s disease. He was 82 years of age. The ex-senator was to have celebrat- ed the Sixtieth anniversary of his mar- riage today. The ex-senator’ s illness began about a year ago with an "attack of grip. He rallied and came east to attend the graduation of his granddaughter at Smith college. This weakened him and, he was taken to Edgewood, since when he had steadily become worse. Senator Doolittle was a native of New York state and a graduate of Geneva college. He was called to the New York bar in 1837 and soon after removed to Wisconsin. He filled many offices there, being elected to the United States sen- ate in 1855. He served two terms in that body and had at the opening of the Thirty-seventh congress acquired a po- sition of high confidence in the councils of the then young and triumphant Re- publican party. The senator had been originally a Democrat, but he supported with great ability the administration of President Lincoln. After the war was ended and Andrew Johnson was the chief execu- tive of the nation, Senator Doolittle sup- ported President Johnson in his con- test with the Republican majority in both branches of congress, which made him a still more conspicuous figure in the remaining portion of the presiden- tial term of Mr. Johnson, although it cost him his political position, as he was not re-elected. In later years he became a Democrat and presided at the Democratic conven- tion of 1872 that indorsed Horace Greeley for president. His 'career in politics, however, is conceded to have practically closed on his retirement from the senate. THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS' The Work of Removal to the New Build- ing About to Begin. Washington, July 28.—The work of removing the large collections of the congressional. library from their present quarters in the capitol to the new con- gressional library is soon to begin. This will involve the closing of the library at the capitol for several weeks because of the noise, dust and confusion inci- dent to the displacement Of so great a mass of books. The removal will also require'the'constant labor of those now employed in the service of books and information to the public. A systematic plan has been adopted, by which the contents of each shelf in the many di- visions and subdivisions of the library . will be separately boxed and trans- ferred, duly numbered and ticketed, to the shelves destined to receive them in the iron stacks Of the new building. Shelf space will be reserved in each di- vision for large accessions, thus obviat- ing the necesslty Of removing any of the great divisions from the places now assigned them for many years to come. The copyright department will be first moved and an Office opened in the new building. The removal will consume several weeks, and from 40 to 70 persons will be employed in the work.

Berlin, July 28.—The newspapers are widely discussing Dr. Miquel’s chance of success of recovering a majority for the government by reuniting the par- ties. It is admitted that he has a great chance to distinguish himself, but the general belief is that he is not a strong enough statesman to accomplish his aim.
