Patriarch of the Sena+ 6 Has Fatal
Aims: of Pneumonia.
NEARLY 89 YEARS OF AGE

V'igorout :11. the Last Session of Congrc, s.
Washington, Dec. 23.——Justin S. Mor-
rill, the 5.1mm Senator from Vermont,
died at 1.23. o’clock this morning in
the Shah year of his age, after an illness
of less than a week.
VVi‘rh him when the end came were
his si:n‘.‘t1-in——la\\, Miss Louise SVVal..
his son James, .L) Benjamin Durfee, for a.
long time associated with the senator
in the finance committee work at the
Capitol, and Colonel S. E. Chamber—
lain, an intimate friend. The senator
never recovered from the unconscious
state into which he lapsed early in the
day, and his death was calm and
peaceful.
The immediate cause of death
pneumonia, which developed from a1.
attack of grip contracted about a week
ago. The venerable senator was con--
fined to his home but seven days.
Despite hisadvanced age, he attend—
ed his senatorial duties faithfully‘, and
regularly went to the Capitol. About
ten dn'rs ago the weather here was
cold, raw and foggy, and his physi-
cian thinks that exposure to its rigors
brought on the attack of grip.
_..,_ ..__ ”WW Leagues udjO‘Lll‘litd
for 'Ll'ltf Christmas hohdays the senator.
was unable to leave his residence. He
grew no better as the days went on,
his low vitality, due to advanced age,
being unable to resist the disease. U11
Christmas night it developed into
pneumonia, and from that time until
the end he sank steadily.
The senator has been for some years
the patriarch of the Senate, and has
held a warm place in the affections of
his colleagues.
He enjoyed the fullest confidence of
his constituents, who, notwithstanding
his years, re-elected him in 1896 for a
fifth consecutive term, “which will not
expire until March 3, 1903. It has been
his annual custom for several years to
make a formal address on some topic
of live interest to the Senate, and this
has been listened to with attention by
his colleagues, who have 1ega1ded the.
speeches as remaikable in viev. of the
age of their author.
The last address was delivered a
week or more before the Christmas
holida adjournment, the subject being
the need of a building for "the use Hi
the United States supreme court and
other courts.
its deliverance showed few signs of
lessened vitality, and at its conclusion
the honor was done the senator of an
unanimous passage of the resolutions
on which he spoke.
Senator Merrill was born in Strai-
In early life
he was a merchant, and later an agri-
culturalist. He was elected to the
House of Representatives in the Thir-
ty—fourth Congress and for four suc-
ceeding terms. Titan he was trans-
ferred to the Senate as a Union Repub—
lican, taking his seat March 3, 1867.
Since that time his service had been
continuous, and he has the record of
the longest unbroken term of service
in the history of the Senate. He has
taken an important part in the legis-
lation of the last thfrty years, espec—
ially on commercial and financial ques—
tions, his position on a question of the
finance committee giving him a lead—
ing part in all measures relating to the
tariff, banking and currency.

’ ’l'iuey nl-fy Unions.
Marlboro, Mass, Dec. 2S.——The pro-
prietors of the eight shoe factories in
this city, involved in the strike of shoe
workers have begun a united attempt
to end the strike and to conduct their
establishments without the interfer-
ence of the unions.
The campaign of the manufacturers
was opened yesterday after several
weeks shut down, when the factory of
J. A. Frye 8: Co., which employs, when
running in full, about four hundred
hands, was started.
All the cutteis u out to work and it
“as estimated that 100 hands were
working.
A ('i m l rill Sam psnn Ill.
Washington. D. C., Dec.
Admiral W. T. Sampson, who arrived
in this city yesterday, is confined to
his room at the Arlington with a se-
vere cold. ,
Acting upon the advice of his physi-
cian, Surgeon Presley M. Rixley, of the
navy, the admiral declined to see cal-
lers and spent the day quietly in his
room.
His condition is in no sense alarming,
and it is exz‘ected that he will have
entirely recon red from his indisposi-
t-ion within a few days.
28.——Rear
Coup D‘etat in France.
London, Dec. 28.--Special dispatches
from Paris say that in yiew of the
daily preparations for a coup-d’etat

ganized a vigilance committee in each
district, charged with the observation
and detection of the anti-Republican
movement. Counter preparationsaro
also being made.
Officers of the higher ranks in the
army are said, to have been sounded on
the-subject of a coup d’etat, but the

tor Will be Held on January 3.
' Philadelphia, Dec. 28.—_—Senator Quay
put in a busy day in this city yester—
day. His apartments at the Hotel
Stratford were bese‘iged by visitors and

ed state politics with his callers.
They found time to consult with

W. Patton, Judge Harry VVhlte, Repre—
sentative McClellan Hirsh, State Sen—
ators Vare, Scott and Brown and oth-
er local members of the legislature‘fa—
vorable to the senator’s re~election,
paid their respects to their chief.
All expressed themselves in the most
confident manner that his return to
the Senate was practically assured. In
fact, so great is the confidence of Sena-
tor uay’s friends in his prospective
success that they have made arrange-
ments for having the Republican leg--
islative caucus for the nomination of.
the candidate for senator held at Har-
risburg on the evening of January 3,
the day of the organization of the leg-
islature.
Senator Quay will leave the city for
Washington to— —morrov.- afternoon. Be-
fore his departure he probably will
meet and talk over the situation with
State Senator Chris Magee of Pitts-
burg.
Senator Quay will be on the battle-
ground at Harrisburg on Sunday even-
ling.
AGUINALDO FLEES FOR LIFE.
The Situation Among the Philippine Insur-
gents Considered Serious.
Manila, Dec. 28.-—It is rumored that
Aguinaldo has fled to an inaccessible
region back of Cavite, with a few fol-
lowers, fear-ing assassination.
This report, however, is denied, but
his sudden change of base is not ex~
plained.
It is reported that Aguinaldo refus-
ed to release the prisoners, although
the cabinet decided to accede to the re—
quest of General Otis for their re—
lease.
The situation here, so far as the in—
surgents are concerned, is serious. The
selection of a new cabinet has been
entrustt-d to a. Filipino named Madini,
a rampant irreconcilable of unknown
antecedents and a bitter opponent of
Aguinaldo, especially on the question
of the Spanish prisoners.
A steamer which has arrived here
from Samar reports that the insurg—
ents have been in possession of Calba-
yon since December 11.
Business there is said to be entirely
suspended, and all the Spaniards of
the vicinity have sought refuge in the
house of a man named Scott, an Am-
erican.
The insurgents threatened to attack
the refugees, but refrained from doing
can soldiers were on their way to the
scene.
One Spaniard, however, was shot,
and another was pluckily rescued by
Scott, who rode fifteen miles and de-
manded the man’s release «in the face
of an armed mob of insurgents, who
have been looting the Visayan stores
and houses, the leaders of the insur-
gents being unable to control them.
All the efforts made to induce the Vi—
sayvans to join in the revolution have
been fruitless.
A Two “‘eeks Sleep.
PCI‘hfll‘l’l, Me. Dec. 28.—Sadie Wright,
the young school girl who fell asleep
at her desk in the school room two
weeks ago and has been sleeping ever
since. awoke yesterday as suddenly as
she dozed off into slumber.
‘When the girl was brought home
from the school room physicians tried
every means known to medical science
to rouse her from her nap.
An electric battery was applied, but
it only succeeded in rousing her to
semi—wakefulness while the current
was on“ When it was shut off the girl
would be fast asleep again.
She remained in this condition until
yesterday, when she suddenly opened
her eyes and called her mother. The
girl told her mother that when she
was in school one day she felt awfully
tired and she could not keep her eyes
open. She remembers no more about
the affair.
Gen. Garcia’s Daughter Dead.
Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 28.—Miss Mer—
cedes Garcia, daughver of the» late
Calvixto Garcia, the Cuban leader, died
at the Piny Woods Hotel in this city
last evening of consumption
Mrs. Garcia and her two daughters
arrived here the day General Garcia
died ir- VVashington. and, while at
dinnerfireceived intelligence of his
death.
The contents of the telegram were
never revealed to Miss Mercedes, who
was at that time failing rapidly. All
the members of the Garcia family at
present in this country were at the
bedside of Miss Mercedes when the end
came. ,
The body will be embalmed and ta—
ken to Cuba on the United States stea—
mer Dolphin, which the United States
has designated to convey the remains
of General G‘aicia back to his native
country.
Greene Will Not Accept.
Oyster Bay, L._ 1., Dec. 28.——General
Francis V. Greene Will not' accept the
appointment" of superintendent of pub-
lic works.
Colonel Roosevelt received a dispatch
from him at midnight in which the.
general briefly stated his determination
not to accept the place. ‘
Colonel Roosevelt was much disap—
‘polnted when he received the dispatch,
as he' believed that after the confer-
ence yesterday there was good reason
for thinking General Greene would acn
~cept Mr.Ald1ir,,d°e’s place.

B 1g Sales.
V 11101 has enormous sales. This is because
the public recognize in Vinol an article which
is filling a long-felt want. Vinol, the modern
form of cod liver oil, contains all the active
curative principles of this valuable remedy,
without the obnoxious grease and fat, has come
in our m1dst with the pow er of doing an 11n-
limited amount of good. The fact that V 11101
is delicious to the taste, appetizing in fact,
gix es the public confidence in it at the shut.
.‘ir. E. A. Brewer, the well known chemist
of Worcester, writes as follows: —
“In pushing the sale of Vinol, with other
remedies intended for a similar use, we can
my that we have never had before a medi-
cine that had so large a sale. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Vinol contains a large per
cent. of the curative principles of the cod's
in e1 it can be easily taken and always 1e-
tained by the most delicate stomach.‘
Vinol is a. benefactor to man. For that
reason we believe it to be a remedy that would
1 rme advantageous to any conscientious
dr uggist to highly endorse. Yours very truly,
