"WASHINGTON, April
States supreme court died here at 6:30
o’clock last evening from ailments in-
cident to old age.
Stephen Johnson Field was born at
Haddam, Conn., Nov. 4, 1816. He was
the. son of David Dudley Field and one
of four brothers who became famous,
David Dudley, Cyrus W. and Henry M.
Field being the other members of the
great quartet that made their names
known throughout the world. His early
boyhood was spent at Stockbridge,
Mass.
At the age of 13 Stephen J. Field Went
to Smyrna, where his sister had married
{‘a missionary, the Rev. Josiah BretVster,
i who had undertaken an educational
mission to the Greeks, and he there
acquired a knowledge of oriental lana
guages.
two and a half years he later entered
Williams college. from 'which he was
graduated in 1837 at the head of his
class. He then went to New York,
where he entered the law office of his
brother, David Dudley Field. He was
admitted to the bar and became a part-1
ner in the firm, remaining as such for
seven years. In 1848 he went to Europe
and spent some time there traveling. In
November, 1849, he sailed for San Fran-
cisco, around Cape Horn, and entered
upon the practice of law in t! e occi-
dental metropolis. After a short time
he moved to Marysvi'lle, a small mining
camp, and became one pf the founders
of what afterward grew to be a thriving
town. When the little city was organ-
ized.Justice Field was elected the al-
calde of the place. This office carried
with it the dignity of mayor and at the
same time imposed all the duties of the
bench. Here the future jurist dispensed
justice and made his name widely
known throughout the length and
breadth of the growing commonwealth.
He was fond of talking of his early. days
in California and often said that the
happiest days of his life were when he
dealt out justice in Marysville behind a
dry goods box.
He was elected a member of the first
legislature of the state and made a
member of the judiciary committee of
that body. He was influential in Secur-
ing legislation favorable to‘miners and
aided in. the passage of laws regulating
the civil and criminal procedure of the
state. At the close of the session he re-
turned to Marysville and devoted six
years to the practice of his profession.
' He was elected a. judge of the supreme
court of California in 1857 for the term
of six years. In 1859 he became chief
justice, succeeding Chief Justice David
S. Terry In 1863 President Lincoln ap-
pointed him associate justice of the su-
preme court of the United States, and
he held that position until his retii’e-
ment on Dec.1. 1897.
During the latter years of his service
on the bench he was in feeble health.
His telm was the longest in the history
of that tribunal. The great chief jus-
tice, John Marshall, wore the ermine
for a period extending over 34 years It
was the ambition of the late Justice
. Field to surpass this record, and he
succeeded in doing so by a few months.
During his service of more than a third
1 of a century he was concerned in some
of the most important cases ever pass-
ed upon by the supreme court. Among
the prominent decisions Was the fa-
mous test oath case, in which heogave
the casting vote and wrote the opinion
of the court. annulling the validity of
the “ironclad” oath. I-Iis dissenting
opinions in the confiscation cases, the
:legal tender cases and in the New Or-
leans slaughter house case attracted
the widest attention.
During his long service on the bench

ceived 65 votes for the presidential
nomination at the Cincinnati Demo-
cratic convention on the first ballot. \
In 1889 one of the most sensational
orons career brought his personality
vividly before the public.
Judge Field. as related, succeeded Do.-
vid S. Terry as chief juStice of the su-
preme court of California in 1858. Terry
had just killed Senator Broderick,
Field’s friend, in a duel. Thirty years
later. Sept. 4, 1888, Judge, Field sentenc—
ed Terry to imprisonment. Sarah Al-
thea Hill had sued Senator Sharon for
breach of promiselof marriage. Terry
was her counsel and married her. The
@2139 was up on appeal, and Justice
Field was to announce the decision.
Mrs. Terry declared in open court
that Justice Field had been bribed. The
justice ordered her removed. Judge
Terry interposed and attacked the court
officers with a bowie knife. Justice Field
sentenced him to prison for six months,
and then gave his decision in favor of
Senator Sharon.
Terry swore vengeance. In the depot
’dining room at Lathrop. 031.. Aug. 14,
1889, Field and Terry. met for the first
‘ time after the incident in the San Fran-g
cisco courtroom. Terry stooped over
Field. who was sitting at a table, and
slapped his face. Deputy Marshal Na-
gle was with Justice Field. He Shot
Terry dead. Terry's threats had been
so frequent that Nagle had been order-
ed to accompany the justice and p'ro-
* tect him. Nagle was exonerated by the
looxoner’s sjury.

{. FRENCH REPUBLIC STABLE.
Premier Dupuy’ Says Agitation. Are
' Only on the Surface.
PARIS, April 10.—The premier, M.
Charles Alexandre Dupuy, in the course
of an important speech to his constitu-
ents yesterday at Le Puy, capital of the
department of Haute-Loire, said that
1 the situation both at home and abroad
- was eminently satisfactory. “The spon-
taneous election of a stalwart and
" worthy Republican as president of the
republic,” he continued, “proves the
stability and vitality of the republic and
has disconcerted the factions who
dreamed of chimerical plebiscites and
futile restorations. ”
He referred approvingly to the recent
1 agreements with Italy and Great Brit-
ain and said that France was “now' free
for industrial and commercial develop-
ment and a large field of colonizing.”
Reverting to home affairs, he said}
"The agitations are only on the sur-
face. Beneath are calm .industry and
security. The end of the Dreyfus affair
appears to be in sight, and the compli—
cation will be unraveled by the court
of cassation, whose judgment will be
acknowledged by all. g
“If certain people think otherwise, let
us leave them to their despicable folly
and, for ourselves, continue to look to-
ward the army, full of gratitude and
confidence. ”
SOUTHERN RACE PROBLEM
Professor SVa-hington Counsel: Less
Opposition to the Whites.
TUSKEGEE, Ala, April 10.—Profess-
or Booker T. TVashington, answering
the request of a prominent colored man
done to allay the present conflict be-
tween the races, says. .
“I have been asking myself lately
some rather serious questions, and I
want to put one or two of them to you.
Is there any reason why the negroes in
the south should continue to oppose the
southern white man and his politics:
Is this not the source of nearly all our
troubles? Unconsciously we seem to
have gotten the idea into bur blood and
bones that we are only acting in a man-
ly way when we Oppose southern white
men with our votes.
“In some way, by some method, we
must bring the race to the point where
it will cease to feel that the only way
for it to succeed is to oppose everything
suggested or put forth by the southern
white men. '
"This I consider one of our real prob-
lems. I believe that there are thou-
sands of white ,Democrats in North
Carolina who are 50 per cent better
friends to the negro than Governor
Russell, and I see no necessity in con-
tinuing to follow Governor Russell, who
has no power to protect or, if he has
the power, does not exercise it, rather
than those other white- inen who can
protect us if we cease to continually
and forever oppose them.”
Cadets ‘an‘il Toivn Boys Fight.
WEST POINT, N. Y., April 10.—A
fierce battle occurred at Highland Falls
at a late hour Saturday night between
candidates for admission to erst Point
as cadets on the one side and boys of
‘the village on the other. The candi-
dates are attending the preparatory
schools at Highland Falls prior to being
examined at West Point next June for
admission to the academy. There were
about 30 of them in the fight, but they
were outnumbered three to one by the
hovs of the town. The trouble began
with a hand to hand encounter, and the
crowd soon increased to such,an extent
iliat stone throwing took the place of
‘fists. Several of the candidates were
more or less injured, but the most se-
riously hurt was U. S. Grant. Jr., ap—
pointed at large by the president. who
\‘35 assisted to his quarters at Cran-
ston's hotel. Many of the town boys
were also badly used up.
