-By a clause in the TVIlson tariff act Congress had swept away, in a line, *U of the carefully constructed reciprocity, treaties negotiated by the preceding administration. This caused great anger among the nations with whom the United States had such trsatisa. and ths storm fell upon Secretary Gresham's head Everywhere there was talk at retaliation and tariff wars, and In rormt cases this was realised to a certain extent. It was Mr. areeham’s task to placate the European powers, and how rkillfuEy ha did so the printed correspondence toLs.

Another legacy from his predecessor, which Mr. Gresham found wry little to hts liking, was the necessity for taring for the Samoan king, held Imprisoned on the Sunday Islands by the Germans. He wanted to repudiate the wnole arrangement by which the United States assumed a part of the tripartite protectorate over Samoa, and he worked hard to this end, and Anally succeeded In inducing 1’resident Cleveland to -ecommend to Congress that the United States withdraw from all further participation in Samoan-affairs.

• Special |o The Indlanapoll* New*. Washington, D. C.. May 28.-No event of Its grave character, since the death of Mr. Blaine, has created such a profound impression Upon 1 the political and social fife of the capital as did the sudden death of Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State, this morning. He died at the Arlington Hotel, only a half block from the scene of .Mr. Blaine’a last illness, directly opposite and In full view of the White House, where he had so often aat as the highest official counselor In the present administration, and in plain sight of the State Department, where, through months of hard toil with* the most aggravating diplomatic questions that have come up for many years, he undermined his constitution, and laid the foundation fpr his

fatal Ulnssa.

Bo little was known of the really serious nature of tfeh Secretary’s condition yesterday that fsw people outaUle the highest official circles were prepared to hear the news of hts d*ath this morning. Extraordinary precautions had be.- » taken t.gconceal his true condition from the public. The high tributes that were paid on every hand this morning to the personal character of the. late SecreUry of Slate by those who had been brought into . lose association with him officially, proved him to l.ave beet he most popS.'ar man in the Cabinet. Hi v.ss closer to President Cleveland, perhaps, than any other Cabinet minister* I amont, the former faithful private secretary, not excepted. The President and Secretary Gresham had many traits in common. Both shrank from ths pomp and splendor, show aqd tinsel of oflldhl life, and sought the-quieter social side of it. There is conclusive evidence that the President and his Secretary of State had not recently agreed on matters of foreign policy, but their personal relations remained Intact.

THE E.YD CAME PEACEFULLY. The Denth •( Mr. Gresham This Morning—The Last Scenes. Wgshlngton, D. C., May 2I.-Walter Q. Gresham. Secretary of State, died at the Arlington Hotel at 1:16 o'clock this morning after a long illness. All hope of his reeovefy lad been practically abandoned when hi* itnklng apell occurred shortly before 6 o'clock last evening. .The most powerful heart stimulants known to medical science, nitroglycerine and dlgtalis, were injected periodically and an infusion of normal saline solution wa* made through an opened vein in the arm. He recovered slightly, but owing to severe rigors shortly before 11 o'clock he began to fail rapidly and his vitality began to ebb.Ths physicians saw that the end was near, and at 12 o'clock withdrew to the ante-room, leafing In the sick chamber only’ the members of his family, Mrs. Gresham, her daughter, Mrs. Andrews and sOn.ln-law, Mr. Andrews, and the

nuree. -V *

Up to tlikt time Mr. Gresham had been conscious and talked at Intervals. He fully appr«£i^ed hi* condition, and spoke words of how and cheer to his wife and daughter. He spoke, too, of his absent son and toll private secretary, Mr. Landis, whom ha loved as a son. and who. like his son, was speeding to the bedside, all too late. But just before the physicians retired he ceased speaking, though he appeared to be conscious. Mrs. Gresham sat at the bedside smoothing his fevered brow and occasionally reading to him

from the Bible.

T*e End at La«t.

As the end approached, his pulse became hardly perceptible, gradually his eyes glased and closed, but Mrs. Gresham continued to read the words of the Gospel to him. Her daughter and son-in-law Stood, with bowed heads, at the side of the touch. At 1:15 o'clock his breathing esased. a peaceful shadow passed over hts pale countenance, his pulse flickered and the sorrowing family were in the presence of death. One of the nurses conveyed the news that the had come to the physicians in the

The news that Secretary Greham was dying, last night, spread like wlldtlrc through the city, and public officials and friends of the Secretary called at the hotel by the score and inquired anxiously for information. President Cleveland, who was at Woodley, was telephoned and kept constantly informed as* ,to his Premier's condition. He ha* been confined to his room. H ti said, for two days by a bilious attack. He- sent in word that if it was possible for him to see the Secretary or be of any assistance, he would be glad to nome In. but the physicians stated that It would be impossible for the Secretary to see any one. and he. therefore, decided to

remain at Woodley. At the Arlington,

May 28.—The body of St'cretary Gresham has been embalmed. and will be placed in the casket to-night. The funeral arrangements are dependent upon the wishes of Mrs. Gresham, and, owing to the depression and grief following the death of her husband, the details of the place and time of burial have been left open until late In the day. The present purposes of the ; friends of the family are to have a funeral train leave Washington to-morrow. A«»peclal train will be provided, one car to bear the body and another for Mrs. Gresham and her immediate relatives. These arrangements, however, are subject to such changes as Mrs. Gresham may desire. It Is the present intention of the family, as communicated to a personal friend, who was one of the earliest callers, to have the body of Secretary Gresham burled in Chicago. A brief funeral service will be held in Washington to-morrow before the special train leaves the city. Otto Greshniu'S Arrival. Mr. Otto Gresham, son of the Secretary, arrived early this morning by special train from Harrisburg. He was met at the sta-

of a formal note intended to be sent to the representatives of the foreign nations accredited to Washington, and also for transmission to the United States representatives abroad, conveying to them the news of Secretary Gresham's death in more forma! style than could be attained in a brief cable message. The President, accompanied by Mrs. Uleveand, came to the White House about half past 10 o’clock, and he was immediately waited upon by Acting Secretary Uhl with this notice. An official order was also prepared closing the executive departments on the day appointed for thd funeral. This was drawn for the consideration of the Cabinet, The purpose was to follow as closely as possible the official procedure in the case of death of Secretary Windom, the most recent instance of the death of a Cabinet officer. About 1! o'clock Baron Hengelmueller, the minister of Austria-Hungary, called at the State Department to personally express his regret. This was the first visit of the kind to the State Department, and was made even before he had been of-

ficially notified.

The Preuldent Culls. The President and Mrs. Cleveland called at 11 o'clock to see the members of Secretary Gresham's family, and to tender their sympathy. They drove over from theWhite House in an open carriage, with no attendants but the driver on the box. The President assisted Mrs. Cleveland to alight, and tjiey were ushered into the family’s private apartments. Attorney-General Olney and Secretaries Lamont and Herbert arrived about the

who instantly divined the nature of their v;#:t, before they could speak or reassure her. “Wat is dead! My poor boy is dead,'' moaned the mother, wringing her hands and weeping bitterly in her intense agony and grief. The messenger informed her of the critical illness of her son, and her grief was assuaged with the knowledge that her son had -not yet passed away. The messengers returned to this city, and upon receipt of news of his death another messenger was dispatched to Lanesville this morning. She will not receive notice of the death until this after-

j Washington, D. C., May 28.—It was in- | timated in official circles this morning | that Secretary Gresham's successor in J the Cabinet would not be named for sev-

Six feet in hight, well formed, muscular and fithe, with black hair, hazel eyes and finely-cut features, i his pleasing address, genial manners, i straightforward honesty and great per- ; sonal courage made him,a popular idol. He took a great interest in military affairs, and in those peaceful days rose to be colonel of the militia.

MeMMUgeM of Condolence. Most of the prominent men Qf public life called at the hotel early in the day, leaving their cards at the office or at the Joor of the annex In which the Secretary’s quarters are located. A flood of telegrams and cablegrams of condolence came during the mornihg. Bafly in the day three messages had come from Europe, and the telegrams wery from all sections of the United States. ’ President Cleveland had not come in from Woodley at 10 o'clock this morning, and it was said by a member of the Cabinet that he was ill and would not be able to drive from Woodley .to-day. All of the members of the Cabinet who ate In the olty, Secretary Ckfllsle alone being absent, came to ths Arlington early, and most of the ladles of the Cabinet circle also were admitted, to the parlor adjoining the family apartments of the late Secretary of State. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, whose residence is near by, were at the hotel for a long lime. There was a constant stream of callers at the door of the annex to the Arlington, facing upon Lafayette square, whence Secretary Gresham had been accustomed to issue about 10 o'clock in the morning to walk across the park to the Department of State. A knot of crape hung from the doorbell, and across the park were to be seen the flags of the White House. Treasury and State, War and Navy Departments at half mast. Fronting the same square, and hardly a hundred yards distant, a theater Was building on the site of the historic mansion where the lifi of James G. Blaine had ended so SOon after his resignation from the premiership of the preceding

administration. -

The line of callers who drove or walked to the Arlington to-day Included representatives of all the official circles of Washington, the Cabinet, the Supreme Couft, the Diplomatic Corps, Congress and the Army and Navy. Moat of the callers merely left their pards with the attendants, who stood at the door. Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court, who had once sat upon the same bench wttn Secretary Gresham, wa* admit’ed to the family apartments, and talked for some time with Mr. Otto Gresham. He w-as visibly affected whoa he lift. Mr*. John W. Foster, Wife of ths Secretary of State, who held that office during the last year of the Harrison administration, and who is a native of Indiana (Secretary Gresham’s state), also came. The Chinese minister and his interpreter came from a coach shortly afterward. Most of the assistant secretaries and heads of Government bureaus Wets among the early

callers.

At the State Department.

The State Department was technically closed to-day. admission being denied to all visitors, although the entire force of employes Were kept in Waiting to assist in the discharge of the formalities attending upon notification to the foreign powers of the nation’s loss. Acting-Secretary Uhl, hollow-eyed and nervous, as the result of his all-nlgbt vigil at the d«9r of the death chamber, was early at his post engaged in the preparaJLus of ordkrv to be signed by the Preside d, and In frequent communication with the family or ths dead Secretary. Within three-quarters of sn hour after the end came last right, he had dispatched the brief catfflr : \e*sages to four ambassadors who reprgisit tbe United States abroad (to Mr. Bayurd, at London; Mr. EusUs.at Paris; MiV Hunyon, at Berlin

and Mr. MacV igh, At' that Secretary ment to alt of the United This morning, J$r.. Uhl, J

i known local sculptor, came to the hotel to take a cast of the dead man’s face, but there was some hesitation over giving the necessary permission until the wishes of Mrs. Gresham should be known, so he deferred his request until a

later time.

President and Mrs. Cleveland were in the Gresham apartments for half an hour. When they came out a kno; of

car-

riai_

the ...w — r 5 . camera on a tripod, focused upon the carriage. No sooner were the President and his wife seated than the photographer put his head qnder the green bloth, but his designs seemed to be recognised, for both the President and Mrs. Cleveland turned their faces away. Many boxes of flowers were sent to the hotel during the

morning.

To Lie In State To-Morrow. It was decided at noon that the remains of the dead Secretary of State should lie in state at the Executive Mansion to-mor-row morning. This decision was reached after the call of President Cleveland, and is doubtless due to his wishes. The casket will be taken from the Arlington Hotel to the White House at 9 a. m.. and will be placed in the large east room. It will remain there through to-morrow morning, and until the departure for Chi- ( icago In the afternoon. The following executive order was sent from the White House to all heads of departments to-day. « Executive Mansion, May 28. 189o.

THURBBR, Private Secretary. Definite Funeral Arrnnirements. The main details of the funeral services were decided upon at a meeting of the Cabinet this morning. At the conclusion of the meeting Secretary Lamont made a brief statement of the funeral arrangements.

Special to The Indianapolis New*. * New Albany, Ind., May 28.—“Wat is dead! My poor boy is dead!” was the exclamation of Mrs. Sarah Rumley, mother of Walter Q. Gresham, when word was conveyed to her of her son’s critical Illness. About 8 o’clock last night, Fred D. Conner, of this city, received a telegram from the Secretary of War, Daniel Lamont, stating that Secretary Gresham could not survive the ixght, and requesting that his mother be notifled. Mrs. Rumley lives at Lanesville, Harrison county. The hamlet has no railroad or telegraphic communication with ths outside world, and volunteers were secured to convey the sad news to the aged mother.

Peter Kentner, he went to Giles, bvit without the warrant—be went to Sipes's house and found he was not at home, but at a dance in the neighborhood. Thither the party followed him, and Gresham, leaving his friend without, entered the place,

as reasonable probabilities for Secretary of State. Don M. Dickinson is easily at the head of these, having declined the office at the beginning of the administration; William C. Whitney occupies that place in the minds of many, while not a few believe that Ambassador Bayard may be transferred from the court of St. James to his old position as adviser to the President.

HIS APPOINTMENT AS SECRETARY. It Wa* Urged B> W. C. Whitney and

Don M. DickiiiMou

Special to The Indianapolis News. Washington, D. C., May 28.—Whether it Was William C. Whitney or Don M. Dickinson who first suggested to President Cleveland the advisability of , placing ^udge Gresham at the head of his Cabinet Ts a disputed question among Democratic leaders. It is known that the idea did not originate with the President. The result

saw Sipes, and advanced toward him. Sipes either knew or suspected the sheriffs design, and ran out of the house and stationed himself in a defiant attitude in j a corner of an old-fashioned chimney run- : ning up outside the house. Gresham fol- | lowed him and told him what he had i confe for. Sipes swore if he attempted to | touch him he would' shoot him down. I Gresham turned his head for a moment | to look for Kentner. and was Instantly 1 shot down by the ruffian, and as he fell was stabbed to the heart, causing in-

I stant death.

Two days after the murder Sipes was ! arrested, The trial which followed was a ! celebrated one, and the most eminent counsel of the time were engaged in it. j Judge Dewey, afterward judge of the Sui preme Court of Indiana, led for the prosj ecution, and Judge Rowan, of Kentucky, j conducted the defense. It came off in j April, 1834, and lasted for several weeks. I The main ground of defense was that the ; arrest was attempted without warrant of j law. The jury was out three days, and at ! last awarded a verdict of manslaughter, j fixing the punishment at twenty-one i year* in the penitentiary and a fine of ; U.iiOO. After serving a few years Sipes j was pardoned by the Governor of the

; State.

Cut off in the very prime of his man-

regiment was ordered to join him at Savannah, Here it was assigned to Vaatch's brigade In Hurlbut's division, and was stationed at Savannah to guard the post, Gresham being placed In command. During the brief period of this command Colonel Gresham’s hearing and ability were such as to commend him strongly to the favor of General Grant and his chief of staff. Col. John A. Rawlins. That Sunday* morning, the 6th of April. *1862, that ushered in the battle of Shiloh, the distant/ sound of battle was heard at Savannah. where Grant and his staff had passed the night and were then taking breakfast. They at once made preparations to go to

of a long-lived Pittsburg Landing, and as they did so

Colonel Gresham met them.

“Gresham,'' said General Grant, “there is a general engagement on hand and-you

do not wish to be left out?”

“That's exactly my feeling.’’ was the

reply.

Grant seemd to reflect a moment, and

then said:

“You are in command of the post here, and I do not think it would be fair to Col. Wood to turn the post over to him and let you go forward. You must remain and

Colonel Woad shall go.”

Colonel Wood commanded the Fourteenth Wisconsin, and went into the battle with his regiment. He was killed the second day. Thus It was that Gresham

missed the battle of Shiloh.

The Fifty-third participated in the siege of Corinth, and after the evacuation of that place moved to La Grange, and from that point made expeditions south of the Memphis & Charleston railroad. After ■ his the regiment joined-Grant’s army and ♦ook part in the North Mississippi campaign. after which it was stationed at Ntymphis, until April. 1863.

A ChaructertMtle Incident.

His government of that turbulent city was so wise and , judicious that it is spoken of to this day. and General Gresham had scores of warm friends there among the older citzens. But his gresff difficulty in the district was with the cotton speculators and cotton thieves who flocked there soon after the Uniijh army took possession. When they found an incorruptible' man In command, who could have no possible lot nor part in their affairs no matter what the temptation," they resorted to every device and subterfuge to deceive him. But he easily penetrated their schemes and held them |n check with a strong hand. Among those sent there in the interest of cotton speculators, and who it was hoped would be able to control the General, was a noted lawyer, who had been a colonel of a regiment in the battle of Shiloh. He had acquitted himself so gallantly on the field that he had been recommended for appointment as a brigadier. He acted for a short time as such, but, unfortunately tor him, the Senate failed to confirm him. and, having been mustered out as colonel of his regiment, he suddenly found himself out of the service. He returned to his practice, and as attorney for the speculators came to Natchez. He ma<I£ It a special part of his duty to revolve about headquarters a great deal and appear to be on intimate terms with the General; and, Indeed, they had before that been good friends. I But Gen. Gresham quickly saw —through these maneuvers and understood that the game was to compromise him If possible. His resolution was at once formed. One morn-

thus commenced his judicial career. Until April. 1883, he held this position with honor

to himself.

United To the Cabinet.

While on the district bench Judge Gresham took no active part In jiolllio#. but hi* character and reputation were known to the leading men of the country. It 1* related that, when President Garfield was forming his Cabinet, Judge Gresham’s name was among those originally agreed upon. Mr. Blaine particularly urged his appointment. The situation became such, however, that Garfield found himself obliged to modify hi* original intention, and Judge Gresham was not tendered a seat in that Cabinet. Garfield died and Arthur succeeded him. In April. 1883, Mr. Howe, the PostmasterGeneral, died. Judge Gresham was at that time holding court in Evansville. One evening he received a dispatch Invlt» ing him to accept the position of Post-master-General. This he did, and took up

his residence In Washington.

Judge Gresham’s career as PostmasterGeneral presents no specially remarkable features, for the office Is largely onw •f routine and of well-established precedent. One of tbe most notable incidents was his exclusion of the Louisiana, lottery from the use of the malls, and this he succeeded In accomplishing In spite of the most powerful pressure ever brought to bear on a public officer. He looked thoroughly into the matter of the mail contracts, and there were no star-route Jobs during his incumbency. Briefly, the office was well and honestly administered.

In December, 1884, Judge Drummond having retired from the office of United States circuit judge. President Arthur unhesitatingly tendered that position to Judge Grestuun. Having taken him from the bench to make him a Cabinet officer, It was a pleasing duty In the President to restore him to the bench at the close of his service. Judge Gresham continued in this position until March 5, 1893, w hen he was appointed Secretary of

State by President Cleveland. A Candidate For President.

Judge Gresham was a candidate for the Republican nomination for President In both 1884 and 1888. In 1888 he received 111 votes on the first ballot; hi* vote rose to 123 on the third ballot, and then dwindled to 59 on the eighth and last. A newspaper man who met him in Chicago in 1888, and had a conversation of more than two hours with him. In which the Judge gave at length his opinions on the great issues of the day, chief 'among which was the tariff, finally said at the close of the con-

versation:

“Why, Judge, you are entirely In sympathy with President Cleveland. You are just as good a Mugwump as any one of

us.”

“Yes, I think I am,” was the quiet re-

ply.

The People’s party, in convention at Omaha in July, 1889, practically offered Judge Gresham Us presidential nomination, which he positively refused. Judge Gresham was considered the ideal canaldate by the Populists because of hi* lifeIcng opposition to tyranny, oppression, and injustice of any sort.

MB. QBESHAM'S CAREEB. Walter Qutntin Gresham was born March 17, 1832, on a farm near the hamlet of Lanesville, In Harrison county, Indiana, a few miles west of Louisville, Ky. Among the pioneer farmers who settled In Harrison county were George Gresham and Dennis Pennington, the grandfather and granduncle of Walter Gresham. They were both of English descent and natives of Virginia. George Gresham was born near Petersburg, October 9, 1776. When a young man he emigrated with the Penningtons to Mercer county, Kentucky, and in 1801 was married to Mary Pennington: He lived in Mercer county until 1809, when he removed with his family to Harrison county, Indiana, Dennis Pennington having preceded him four or five years. There he took up a large quantity ef land on little Indian creek, where Lanesville now stands, and became a prosperous farmer. He was honest, truthful, courageous, industrious, and particularly noted for Ms piety, for he was a devout Methodist. For many years his house was the place of worship for that region, and thither came Axley, Cartwright, and others of those famous cir-cuit-riders who made that country ring with their achievements in behalf of the church militant. George Gresham never became a politician like Dennis Pennington, hi* brother-in-law. Tne latter is still remembered In the arnals of Indiana politics. He served one term In the Territorial Legislature and was Speaker of the House. After the Slate was admitted In 1816 he served almost continually as a member from Harrison county, thirteen terms In the Senate and five in the House, down to the year 1846. In politics the Greshams and Penningtons were originally Republicans, supporters of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, but in the break-up of that party, which occurred in the contest for the Succession of Monroe, they supported John Quincy Adams. When Henry Clay became the leader of the party they followed him, and when the Whig party was fotmed fought under tha>t banner. Dennis Pennington and Clay were life-long personal friends. George Gresham never •ought political office, but was content with fulfilling the plain and simple duties of a citizen. He rarely, if ever, neglect ad to vote. When the Asiatic cholera swept over the country in 1882 and 1833 he became one of Its victims. He died at Lanesville, September 6, 1833. George Gresham’s oldest son, William,

returned to Corydon, obtained a deputy clerkship in the county clerk’s office, and passed his leisure hours In the study of

HAM! WAS BORN.

the calm answer.

“General, it is impossible; I can not

leave at this time.”

“Colonel,” said General Gresham, In his* decided tone, “you shall leave Natchez today, and If I find you in the city at sundown I will place you In irons and send

you away.”

Thereupon the interview terminated. The Colonel, who was intimately acquainted with Grant, posted off immediately to Vicksburg to report the Indignity that had been put upon him. He related the Interview with all fullness. Grant smiled. / ' . “Did General Gresham say he would put you In irons?” he asked. “He most assuredly did.” “Well, then,” said Grant, ”1 would advise you to keep away from him, for I have always found him *a man of his

word.”

Wounded nt Atlanta.

General Gresham remained In command at Natchez until the following spring, when he was placed in comffiand of a division in the Seventeenth Corps In the Army of the Tennessee to take ’part in the campaign against Atlanta. General McPherson commanded the army and Gen. Frank Blair the corps, and with both these officers, but particularly with McPherson, Gresham became on specially friendly terms. His.activity and zeal as a soldier were his chief recommendations to them. He was In the battle of Kenesaw mountain and in the engageftients that followed ail the way u£ to and around Atlanta until the 20th of July. That day, in the battle of Leggett’s Hill, while at the front examining the enemy's position, with a view to pressing forward, the firing being very heavy, a ball struck him

just below the knee, inflicting a serious : tion of the war

wound. He was at once carried to the rear, and the next* day General McPherson himself gave personal attention to

Judge Gresham's final departure from the party at whose birth he had asalsted came In the campaign of 1892. He announced his intention of voting for Mr. ! Cleveland in a letter dated October 2?] 1892. and addressed to Major Bluford Wilson, who was solicitor of the Treasury

under Grant. This letter said:

“Dear Major—I have your letter of th% f21st Inst. I did tell you at Sprfhgfiedd that after mature reflection I had determined to vote for Mr. Cleveland this fall, because I agree in the main with hla views on the tariff, and did not believe in the principles embodied in the McKinley bill. 1 adhere to that determination and have said nothing indictating a change of purpose. It is not true that with my knowledge or consemt the President was asked to appoint me to any office. It is not true that I requested any one to say or do anything to obtain the Republican nomination this year; it Is not yue that I voted for Mr. Cleveland in 1888. I voted the Republican ticket at every presidential! election since the party was organized, except in 1864, when I was not able to go

to the polls.

“Republicans were pledged to a reduc-

any stage to bring it to an end. and ultL mately when peace was restored, It wua through the good office* of the American ministers In China and Japan, acting under Secretary Gresham’s instructions, that the peace negotiations were :oLDted, All this was done, too, In a manner thaf made It clear to the world that the United States was acting absolutely without selfinterest, ami from motives of humanity* notwithstanding the temptations held out by some of the great European powers to act .jointly with them from leas worthy motives than might have brought a selfreturn. And while he wa* doing this. Secretary Gresham was also using his good offices to prevent a war between

he was obliged to use very strong representations to do so. While the amount of money involved was trwignifleant in th6 case of the claims of United State* citizens against Venezuela. Secretary Gresham managed, through a Joint commi/lsion, to secure a Judicial annunciation of a doctrine that is of the greatest importance to the civilized world, namely, that the government of a country Is responsible for the abuse or Ill-treatment, for financial distress of foreigner* committed by insurgents. ( Three Sign!/leant Incident*. But the Americanism of the Secretary ■was shown in its brightest light In three incident* that occurred during hi* administration, and the fact that In two of th* three he had to contend with great powers, indicates that he made no distinction when the time came to claim rights for h'.a own country. The first of these cases, while attracting little attention at the time, was really of great importance, for U amounted to a declaration to Europe that the United States would not permit private claims to be collected frotn Ameclean republics‘where our cit zens had pecuniary interents. This was the case at San Domingo, when the French warships, which had come there to.enforce the col-' lection of a private claim, were withdrawn lit a vftry strong hint from Secretary Gresham, conveyed through Ambassador Euatls. that the United States would not regard such a course as a friendly manifestation. Again, in Hlueileld*. when the British marines occupied the bluffs, they 'wereaprompUy withdrawn when Secretary Gresham called upon Great Britain for an explanation of their landing and securing a disclaimer of any wrong purpose. And, again, when the Spanish government undertook to stop an American steamer by a cannon shot, Mr. Gresham called for and heeured a very prompt apology. Almost his last official action before he fell mortally ill was to initiate the corresfondence w.th France Intended to »ecu* Justice for ex-Unlted States Consul Wgller, whom he believed to have been Illtreated by the summary French courtmartial in Madagascar, and In whose Interest he notifled Ambassador Eustls to Interfere.

law under the guidance of a Judge William A. Porter, one of the noted characters of

southern Indiana. After nearly three years of work by day. and study by night, in the year 1854, he was admitted to the bar, and entered into partpershlp with Thomas C. Slaughter, an eminent lawyer of that time, afterward judge of the Circuit Court. His admission to the bar a,nd the Nebraska question were coincident. The great Whig party, with which all his political traditions were associated, had dissolved. It was a hot and seething time, and men began to range themselves on the slavery question. In 1855 the Republican party was formed, and with it Gresham at once allied himself. In •4856 his partner, Judge Slaughter, was a delegate from Indiana to the Philadelphia convention that nominated Fremont. In the canvass that followed the young lawyer stumped Harrison county on behalf of the “Pathfinder,’’ and scored many successes. Wherever he went he obtained subscribers for the New York Tribune, and argued the questions at Issue in a^lralgtatforward, reasonable way that carried his hearers with him. When the votes were counted In November, It was found that more Republican votes had been cast in Harrison county than in all the rest of the district together between New Albany and Evans-

ville.

Engaging now earnestly in the gtudjc and practice of law, he soon gained a good reputation at the bar as a careful and painstaking lawyer, successful with both courts and Juries. In 1860 he went into politics actively, and was elected to the State Legislature. He was made chairman of the committee on military affair*, and as such brought forward and toad passed a militia bill which placed Indiana almost on a war footing. He was a valuable coadjutor of Governor Mor-

ton.

having General Gresham cohveyed ln_an • ambulance, with care, to the railroad sta- ^ tion. The trip was a slow one, and occupied several days. When General Gresham arrived at the station he there found the body of his beloved general, who had been killed the next day after they hqd

parted.

Back to New Albany the General was taken, and for more than a year he lay prone upon his back, nursed by his wife. Several times the surgeons thought the limb should be amputated and so advised, but just as often he objected. He saved the leg, but was compelled to go ‘on crutches for several years. Pieces of bone continued to come out for a long time, but the wound finally healed, leaving him

slightly lame. ■ 1

HIS CAREER SINCE THE WAR.

Twice On the Federal Bench—A

Member of Two Cabinet*.

The war over, Mr. Gresham returned to his profession, forming a law partnership at New Albany with Judge Butler and Noble C. Butler, his son. In 1866 he was nominated on the Republican ticket for Congress against M. C. Kerr, who was afterward Speaker of the House. The district was composed of tho, southern tier of counties and was heavily Democratic. General Gresham made the canvass on crutches, and on the stump proved a match for his able and acute opponent, but the majority wa* too great to oe overcome, and he was defeated, though not without giving the Democrats such a fright that at the next Legislature, which they controlled,' they added two heavy Democratic counties to Kerr’s district. In 1868 he made the race against Kerr, but was defeated almost as a matter of course, though he won hosts of Democrats to his support. The same year he was appointed financial agent of the State, which position he held until 18i». When General Grant became President, in 1869, he seemed determined to bring General Gresham Into th* public service. He first offered him the collectorship of the Port of New Orleans, the second best office of the kind In the United States. This he declined. He then offered hlnr the dlstrict-attprneyship of Indiana, and

In an Interview Grant told him he had already made Ms selection for the district-attorneyship of Indiana. Gresham Inquired who It was, and Grant replied, “Yourself.” Gresham answered that under no circumstances could he take that office.' And he did not. In December, 1869. the President again tendered him a high office. It was the appointment of United States district Judge for Indiana. ZJfls be accepted, and

was passed in the interest of favored classes, and not for the benefit of the whole people. It neither enhanced the price of farm products nor benefited labor.

The Associated Press, in a review of Secretary Gresham’s recent official career, say* of his action on the important international question*: As Secretary of State, Mr. Gresham had to deal with many vexatious and troublesome International questions. When he went into office, he found much to dlasatiefy him with the state of our foreign relations, and in bis characteristic fashion he set to work to shape these to meet hi* own Ideas without delay. Such a coarse was certain to subject him to bitter criticism, and he fully realized this in advance, but was In no respect deterred from doing what he thought was right. This brought him face to face with the question of the hour at that time, the annexation of Hawaii. He^ had decided views upon this matter, even before he came Into the Cabinet, and it Was upon hi* recommendation that President Cleveland performed ^almost his first official action by withdrawing from tbe Senate, where it was pending, the annexation treaty negotiated by Secretary Foster. Then Mr. Blount was sent to the Island republic to make an original Investigation, and upon his report the Secretary made his now celebrated recommendation that the Queen be restored, inasmuch as she had been deposed through tbe action of officers of the United State*.

ME. GEESHAM IN THIS CITY. 'Mr. Gresham was looked upon In thla cemmunlty as one of Its citizens. During his-legislative career and before hla appointment to the Federal Judiciary- he became personally known to many people here. He became an actual resident of Indianapolis in 1S69. where he moved from New Albany upon his appointment as district United States Judge. He remained here until he was appointed to President Arthur’s Cabinet In April, 1882. After his appointment to the Circuit bench he removed to Chicago, but be wa* often seen here, and Indianapolis never fully relinquished .Its claim upon him. His family was also well known here. His one son, Dtto, Is a citizen and a lawyer of _ Indianapolis. His daughter, Mrs. E. T. Andrews, has many Indianapolis acquaintance*. Mrs. Gresham was Mis* Mctllda McGrain, daughter of Thomas McGraln, of Scotch-Irish descent, and long a resident of Harrison county. The marriage look place at Corydon in 1858. Mr. Greshaid’s most Intimate frier|ds here were not political friends. Polltlo wa» hot the basis of his friendships. He was agreeable to all who had occasion to meet him, but he could be frightfully severe, • and could, figuratively speaking, flay a delinquent attorney without changing color or losing his habitual serenity of expression. Whenever he came to town the word quickly passed to his acquaintances—Including the reporters—and every one of these was cordially received. He did not ferget faces, or. If he did, the forgotten never found it out. Ills greetings were al-

In appearing Mr. Gresham was tall. In youth he had been slender. He was fully’ six feet high. His black hair and full beard had turned to Iron gray. His eyes Were hasel. full and large, with the power to “threaten end command,” bat soft and amiable in familiar converse.
