of the physicians who had been attending him through his illness, mid the two nurses. To within a few hours before his death the family firmly believed, as it has throughout his illness, that Mr. Diugley would recover, and it was only when it became apparent that he was dying that its members gathered at his bedside. Sketch of His Life. Nelson Dingley, Jr., Governor of Maine 1874-5 and member of Congress from the Second congressional district of Maine since 1881. was born in Durham, Androscoggin County. Me.. Feb. 15. 1S.12. Kntering Wntcrville college (now Colby university) in 1851, he remained (here a year and a half mid then became a student at Dartmouth college, from which institution he was graduated in 1855 with high rank as a scholar, debater ami writer. After leaving college Mr. Diugley studied law in 1855-ij with Merrill &- 1'essenden, in Auburn, to which city his parents had removed while be was in college, and in the latter year he was admitted to the bar. Instead of entering iiikiii the practice of law he decided to become a journalist, for which profession lie always manifested a decided taste. In September, 1850, he purchased the Lewiston Journal, of which he had been practically the editor while studying law and to which iu ISfil he added n daily edition. The paper rapidly increased iu circulation and influence under his management. In 1861. at the age of 2!), he was elected Representative from Auburn to the State Legislature, in which body he at once took high rank; was re-elected in 1862 and chosen Speaker of the House nt the session of 1S(K1. In 1863 he removed to Lewiston. where n few months after he was elected to the legislature, and with the opening of the legislative session of 1804 was unanimously re-elected Speaker. In 1873 Mr. Diugley was nominated as the Republican candidate for Governor of Maine by a vote of two to one against two popular opponents and was elected by about 10,000 majority. In 1874 he was re-elected by over 11.000 majority, deeliuiug a third umnination in 1875. lie was one of the delegates-at-liirge from Maine to the Republicau national convent ion in 18715 and served on the commit lee on resolutions and was one ot the siib-couiiiiit-tee of five who drafted the platform. He actively participated in the presidential campaign of 1876 and in the State conventions of 1877-8-9. In 1879-80 he was chairman of the Republican executive committee. In 1881 Mr. Dingley was nominated by the Republicans of the Second congressional district of Maine to fill the vacancy iu Congress caused by the resignation of William P. Frye. Hp was elected by a majority of over 5.OO0, nearly twice as large as ever before given to any candidate in that district. During his early terms in the House Mr. Dingley was active in work for the revival of American shipping. In June, 1880, Mr. Dingley a? re-elected to the Fiftieth Congress and again elected to the Fifty-first Congress in IS8S. to the Fifty-second iu 1800, the Fiftythird in 1803. the Fifty fourth in 1804 and the Fifty-fifth in 1890 by large mid increased majorities.

In forming his cabinet prior to entering on the duties of chief executive March 4, 1897, President McKinlcy tendered the position of Secretary of the Treasury to Mr. Dingley, but he declined the offer, preferring to remain in his position as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and floor leader of the Republican majority of the House.

It is unfortunately true that the cli

As soon as the services were over the House adjourned. The Senate held no session for the transaction of business on Monday. The House on Tuesday passed the naval personnel bill without division ou the final passage, thus accomplishing what the officers of the navy have striven for during more than n decade. By its provisions the line and the engineer corps are welded into an amalgamated line, staff officers are given positive rank, but their command is limited to their own corps, nnd a system of voluntary aud compulsory retirement on. three-quarters pay, as of the next higher rank of forty officers n year, is established, which is designed to remove the congestion in the lower rank at forty-five. The bill also practically equalizes their pay with that of army officers. The most important change in the bill as reported was the adopt inn. after a hard light, of a substitute for the organization of the m rine corps, by which the corps is to consist of 0,000 enlisted men nnd petty officers, with general officers and staff. This, will increase the marine corps by 1, ."!()( nien and increase the cost of its niaintennii :t $1,300,0(10.

Vo conclusion was reached nt the hour of adjournment, and as the special order under which the House was operating expired with the adjournment, ami as objection wns made to fixing another day for its consideration, it goes over indefinitely. The feature of the session of the Senate was a speech del.vered by Mr. Baton Deiii., (la.) iu support of his resolutions declaring that ihe United States would not assume sovereignty over the Philippine Islands. Following Mr. Bacon's speech the Nicaragua canal bill was taken up and remained snider discussion until 0 o'clock. Notes of Current Kvents. In the United Sta es 1S08 was uhe warmest year on record.
