Up to thill tinu! lio ul buen conscious and talked at intervals. His words

full of bravery. Ile fully appreciaii'd his c.imdit-ioji and spoke words of hope and cheer to liis stricken wife and daughter. Hometimes his mind wandeivd slightly and went bade to the days of lony- ai o, recalling incidents of lov and haj:piness in the springtime of his life. He spoke, too, of his absent son and his private secretary, Mr. Landis, whom he loved as a .son, and who, like liis son, v."as .speeding to his bedside, ail too late. But just before the physicians retired he ceased speaking, though he appeared to be conscious.

Mrs. Greshain sar at the bedside s-rno'•tiling his fevered brow, and occasionally reading to him from Bible I passages which he loved. As the end I approached his pulse became hardly vcepiibie. (Jradually his eyes glazed and closed. But Mrs. Urosliam, with noble and heroic fortitude, continued to read the words of iIn• gospel to her departing husband. Her daughter and son-in-law stood with bowed heads at th^ side of the conch. Atl:lo o'clock his. breathing ceased: a peaceful shadow passed over his pale countenance, his pulse flickered, and tho sorrowing i'auii-

Iy were in the presence of death. Um- of the nurses conveyed the news that the end hud come to tho physicians in the next room, and they in turn, brol it to the watchers in the reception room. Those present in the reception room were Secretary and Mrs. Lament, Seci-etary Herbert, Assistant Secretary of State CJiil and Assistant Secretary of St-it'- McAdce, First Assistant i'ostiuas'r (ieneral .(ones, Assistant- Secretary of the Treasury Hamlim, Attorney (!enI .'ral«)iney, Colonel Corbin of the army, and Private) Secretary Thurber. In the hotel lobby outside we re half a hundred of the secretary's friends.

W heu Secretary Creshani was first taken sick lour weeks ago the physician diagnosed the ease as gall stone in the bladder. His pluerisy symptoms were overlooked for almost Sti hours. As soon as Dr. Johnston was called he discovered that- tho secretary was suffering from an acute ease of pleurisy, probably caused by exposure while riding out to Woodley, the president's country place, at night. In the meantime the gall stone had passed. The secretary's right lung was affected, the cavity being already filled with pleuritic fluid. His

respiration rose to -13. The physicians decided not to tap the cavity, but to rely upon absorption to rid it of tlie exuded fluid. Gradually Secretary Gresham grew better. The respiration was reduced to almost normal.

Last daturday when Dr. Johnston thought all danger past, the left lung suddenly became affected and filled rapidly. Since then either Dr. Johnston or tho consulting physician have been at his bedside constantly, as have Mrs. Gresham and tho secretary's son-in-law, Mr. Andrews. He passed a very bad night Saturday night and a bad day Sunday, suffering so much pain that Sunday night he was placed under opiates. He was kept more or less under their influence until he died.

His long illness had weakened the secretary greatly, and it is said his physicians decided'that in his exhausted condition he could not undergo an operation for the removal of the fluid. Tlie fact that the secretary has had stomach tremble for years and lias been obliged to diet, militated against any rapid i'ecovery of .-strength. Secretary Gresham had an attack of pleurisy years ago. He also suffered much from his wounds, being at one time bedridden for over a year.

Mrs. Gresham's devotion to her husband during his illness has been of the most tender, patient and faithful character. Although physically slight, she displayed, so said one who has been in the sick chamber several times a day throughout the secretary's illness, remarkable endurance and nerve. For four weeks she had hardly had her clothes off. Night and day she was at the bedside snatching an hour or two of sleep when she could on a lounge in his room. She seemed determined to light off death. "If he dies," she said many times, "I

sill." But she li iintie,ner and :ed to Ik., everv .g iier personal

After Mr. Cleveland was elected in February. he summoned Judge Gresham to Lakewood, X.

Another important service he rendered to the country was the re-es-tablishment of the fast mails.

As secretary of state in the present administration. Mr. Gresham lias had to deal with perhaps more vexatious, intricate and delicate diplomatic affairs than has fallen to the share of most secretaries of state. His treatment of these was

The war over, (Jen-val (irosham returned to Lis profession, forming a law part nership at New Albany, Ind. in is: .) ho was nominated for congress against M. C. ivi-rr, but the district- was heavily Democratic, and he was defeated. When (.Ionera 1 Grant became president he appointed him Lnited States uiM rict judge for Indiana. When 1'ostniaster Menoral Howe died in April, l,ss:i, Gresham, then holding court at Evansville, was tendered tlie cabinet j.-'osition by telegraph and accepted. Near the close of Art iuir's term, on the death of Secretary Kolgor, lie was appointod secretary of the treasury, a iosition ho hold until October, l!Ssl. President Arthur, who had taken him from the bench, had the satisfaction of restoring him to the. bench at the close of his service by appointing him to succeed tulge Drummond.

In l.SSS, Judge (ireshatn was made a prominent candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency at ihe Chicago convention. His liberal views on the tariff created against him ihe antagonism of tiie extreme protectionists at hi cage. udgo T'vshatn, with other Republicans, openly dissented from the MeKinley law, and in after the nomination of Mr. Cleveland by the Democrats he, with her distinguished Republicans, re- I iiounced their allegiance to I he Republican party and advocated Mr. Cleveland's I election.

hy the strong individuality which

was part of the man. Perhaps from his long judicial experience ha was disposed to view every question from the standpoint of exact and equal justice.

To him it made little difference how any lino of action promised ito affect his own country, he could and did disabuse his mind of any personal feeling in dealing with an international question, and the first consideration with, him was always fairness if his own country occupied a false position in the matter he thought it was his duty to set it right, even at a sacrifice of material interests as it might appear at the time.

Secretary Gresham found much to dissatisfy him with the statft of our foreign relations .when ue assumod office this last time, and in his characteristic fashion he set to work to shape these to meet his own ideas without delay,. Such a course was certain to subject liim 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 fiice with thb great question of ,tlie hour at that time, tho annexation of Hawaii.

Ho had decided views upon this, matter even before lie came into thp cabinet, and it was upon his recommendation that President Cleveland performed almost bis first olHcial aCtioii by withdrawing from the senate where it was pending, the annexation treaty negotiated by Secretary Foster. Then Mr. Blount was sent to tho island republic to make an original investigation,and upon his report the secretary made his now celebrated recommendation that tho queen be restored, inasmuch as slip had been deposed through the action of the officers of the United States.

When congress finally made known its views the secretary accepted them for his government, but it can not bo discovered from any subsequent utterance of his that

he ever changed his view as originally annonneed to tho justice ol the action lie had proposed.

While ho was deep in the Hawaiian ne- I gotiations. Secretary Gresham was obliged -.uddeniv to give his immediate attention to the subject-ol the iiermg sea seal fish- I ones. The arbitration arranged by his predecessor was in full swing. Here was I another matter with which he was not in haimony. Ho did not believe that the arbitiation would bo successful tlie objoet •.limed at by the I'nited ales—namely,

protoetion ot the seals—but regardless Ot the outcom ho was lonvd to bring the iihitisii .rovernment to a renewal ot the nii'ihis 1 -lKtl or qui-.-k aeuoli to carry our the award when it was announced, in i-i'de. ,.i -iiard aga.mst the anuihilation ot

It, was Mr. Grosham's task to placate the iMiropean powers, and how skilllullv lie did so the printed correspondence tolls. Iloiairh amazed the Germans and A ustiiaiis. Used as the\ were to tlie do\ ions a\ o! tiiplomacy, bv frankly admitting that ihe., were right, in claiming a remission ot the dilterontial duties upon beet sugars that justice seemed to require this remission, and that lie Would do all that could le done to bring congress to see this i.iid make reparation, a promise ne faithluliy endeavor, to redeem to the last, and thereby greatly st rengt honed his own hands in he vexatious negotiations looking to the removal oi the unjasr, and onerous icstriet ions placed upon the importation ol American cattle and meats.

Aee it her legacy lrom lus predecessor which .Mr. GTesiiam lound verv litrloto Ills liking was tho necessity lor caring for the Sanioau king, held imprisoned on the Sundav islands by the Germans. lie wanted to repudiate the whole arrangement by which the United Mates assumed a part ot the tripartite protectorate over Samoa, anil lie worked hard to this end. and finally succeeded in inducing President Cleveland to recommend to congress that the I'liiied States withdraw from all l'unher participation in Samoan affairs.

Then on the constructive side of ihe diplomacy Mr. Groshain had much to his credit. Ile did,-ill that a foreign officer could do propeily to prevent the late Chi-nese-Japanese war lost no opportunity at any stage to bring it to an end and ultimately when peace was restored, it was through the good ollices of the American ministers in China and Japan, acting under Secretary Gresiiain's instructions, that the peace negotiations wore intimated. All this was done, too, in a manner "that made it clear to the world that the 1'nited States was acting absolutely without selfinterest and from motives of humanity, notwithstanding the temptations hold out by some of the great European powers to act jointly wirh them from less worthy motives than might have brought a seli-ret-urn.

And while he was doing ihis Secretary Grosham was also using his good offices to prevent a war between .Mexico and Guatemala, both full of lighting spirit and dhiicalt of restraint, and in this he succeeded completely, although he was obliged to.iise..yery strong representations to do so.

While the '"amount of money involved was insignificant in the ease of the claims of I'niiod States citizens against Venezuela, Secretary Grosham managed through a joint amission to secure a judicial annunciation of a doctrine that is of tho greatest import a nee to the eiviiized world, namely that ihe government of a country i- iv.-.ponsible for the abu-e or ill-treatment for financial dist ross of foreigners commi11oii bv insurgents.

The first of those cases, little a: rent ion at the of great importance, for a declaration to Kurope

I that ihe r.'iited States wotihi not permit private claims to bo collected from American republics where our citizens had peeuniary interests. This was the case :it

San Domingo when the French warships which had come there to enforce the collection of a private claim were withdrawn at a very strong hint from Secretary Gresham conveyed through Ambassador Eustis, that the United States would not regard such a course as a friendly mauitestation.

Again in Blueflelds when the British marines occupied the bluffs, they were promptly withdrawn when Secretary Gresham called upon Great Britain for an explanation of their lauding and securing a disclaimer of tiny wrong purpose. And again when the Spanish government undertook to stop an American steamer by a cannon shot, Mr. Gresham called for and secured a very prompt apology. Almost his last official action before he fell mortally ill was to initiate the correspondence with France intended to secure justice for ex-United States Consul Waller, whom ho believed to have been ill-treated by the summary French eourtmartial in Madagascar, and in whose interest he notified Ambassador Eustis to interfere.

The secretary was a hard worker. Ho was thorough in all things, and insisted upon reading every aspect of a case which came before him. This involved long hours spent in study of musty manuscripis and authorities in the late hours of the night at his rooms, coining upon a day full of embarrassing incidents and diplomatic fencingwith the ablest, of tlie diplomatic corps, and it is now clear that Secretary Gresham was brought to his last illness by the groat exertions lie was obliged to put forth to diselfarge his ollicr/il duties to his own satisfaction.

During his career on the bench Judge Gresham heard and decided many noteworthy eases, many of his decisions illustrating in a remarkable degree his fearlessness, impartiality and judicial firmness.
