thirty meters from the line. The charges wore then stoppe, and the Japanese artillery renewed Its preparatory fire on the enemy's position. Towards evening a detachment of Japanese carried a section of the IiusIn trenches, breaking through the enemy's line. Hundreds ot the comrades Qi these men. Inspired by their success, srrang forward, and then the entire Japanese line swept up the hill, driving the Ilusslans from their positions. It was in the desperate infantry charges that the Japanese sustained the bulk of their losses. Japan paid heavily for her victories, losing Z,0i men killed and wounded in the repeated asja.ults against the Russian positions, but she scored a sweeping and valuable victory over the Russians, capturing fifty guns, clearing-the way to I'ort Arthur and Inflicting losses on tho Russians which, in the end. are expected to total 2,U0) men. It Is doubtful if the Russians ill stand again north of Tort Arthur. Thpv retlrerl from the rlelri Triebt. en-au-l failed to rally at Nan-Kuan-Llng, where It was anticipated that a second stand would bu made. The-detfjerate onslaughts on the Japanese on the heights of Nan-Shan were telling, for the Russians left 000 dead In the trenches there. A complete search of this Celd i3 expected to show a greater number of dead. Nan-Kuan-Ling was occupied yesterday morning by a force of infantry, artillery and engineers, under the command of General Nakamura. The main Japanese force spent Friday night billeted In the villages around Nan-Shan. "The soldiers are greatly fatigued ' as a result of the constant lighting, but they entered with much spirit upon the new operations. A force Of Russians held San-Chill-IM statten, which 13 northwest of Dalny, but the Japanese drove them out. The Russians abandoned and burned the station and retired in the direction of I'ort Arthur. The estimates of the Russians engaged In thi defense of Kln-Chou, Nan-Shan hill and the south shore of Talien-Wan Lay vary, but it 13 evident that the Russians drew for men from the forces at Port Arthur and offered all the resistance possible. It 13 understood here that Lieutenant General Stoessel, commander of the military forces at I'ort Arthur, was in personal command of the recent operations. As soon as the Japanese troops have rested they will press on to the south. The Japanese squadron which waa assigned to co-operate In the attack of the second army on Kln-Chou and Nan-Shan hill. composed of the gunboats Thukishi. Amagl, lleiyen and Chckal, and the first torDedo boat flotilla, entered Kin-Chou bay on Wednesday. A heavy sea prevented Its participation In the fighting of that day. Tho weather cleared on Thursday morning, however, and in spite of the shallowness of the water the squadron steamed close to shore and bombarded the Russian batteries. Early In the action a shell passed over the forward deck of the Chokal, killing a lieutenant and two petty officers " arid wuundlnK two men. The torpedo boat flotilla fhelled the railroad near the Shaos river. The torpedo boats took soundings and guided tho larger shirs.

themselves were not damaged. CZAR REGRETS THE LOSS OF BIG GUNS ST. PETERSBURG, May 2S.-Emperor Nicholas received the news of the result of the fighting at Kin-Chcu and in Its vicinity at the Palace of Tsarkoe-Selo. He at once sent for War Minister Sakharoff, with whom hls MnJesty and tho members of hi3 military cabinet went over the dispatches. The Emperor received the report that the Russians were compelled to retire before the heavy artillery tire of the enemy's batteries In front, and of his warships on their flank, with composure, fta being the fortune of war, but he was considerably agitated by the later reports that General Fock had not succeeded in savin? tne Russian guns. The members of the military cabinet pointed out that this later report was not official, and, besides, they expressed complete confidence rriat I'ort Arthur itself could not be reduced except at an immense cost of time and men and with the aid of the heaviest kind of siege guns. General Sakharoff also said he did not believe the report that the enemy had arrived within ten miles of Port Arthur twenty-four hours after the desperate fighting at Kln-Chou. The news in the foreign dispatches has produced the usuirt crop of sensational stories about the Russian government concealing the extent of the disaster, but the only Jutiheatlqn for this allegation seems to be the sudden stoppage of all newspaper dispatches from the seat of war. Most of the foreign reports are allowed to be printed as soon as received. A high officer of the general staff declared to the correspondent of the Associated Press that the loss of the guns reported captured was unavoidable if confined to those mounted in the works on the hills below Kln-Chou, as they coulu not be carried away when the Russians retired but the breech blocks, he added, probably had been removed. Besides, before tho enemy could use the guns against Port Arthur they would have to manufacture special cartridges. Therefore, the loss was not so serious a matter. The right thing to ascertain was whether the Japanese had captured any field guns. "If the Japanese lost 3,0f0 men in taking Kin-Chou," the officer added, "they will lose 30.000 men at least if they try to take Port Arthur. Even with such a sacrifice I consider the capture, of the fortress to be Impossible. Tort Arthur, in my opinion, is Impregnable, so long as its food and ammunition hold out." JAPANESE OFFICIAL REPORT TO TAKAHIRA WASHINGTON, May 2S. The following cablegram from the Foreign Office at Tokio was received at the Japanese legation here to-day: "The commander of the army attacking Kin-Chou reports that a detach ment of our troops consisting of infantry, artillery and engineers occupied Nan-Kwan-Ling on the morning of May 27. The enemy fled in the direction of Port Arthur after burning a railway station at Shan-Shi-Hll-Tao, northwest of Dalny. On the bth our troops captured fifty guns, be tides many other things. The number of the enemy s dead left on the field amounted to ,400. Our casualties, including: dead and w'ounded. are estimated at 2.uu0. The Japanese legation this afternoon re ceived the following additional official dispatch: "The following are further details of the attack on Kin-Chou: The attack on the enemy at Nan-Shan hill commenced at 2:il5 a, m. of the 20th. ihe enemy's defensive works were of almost permanent nature and their artillery consisted of fifty guns of various calibres and two quick firing field artillery companies. Their in fantry ranged in two or three lines in covered trencnes with loopholes and placed machine gun3 on important points, and of fered 1 stubborn resistance. We ranged all our field guns on the forts and the enemy's principal artillery and silenced eleven of them. Then our artillery concentrated its fire on the enemy s trenches and our in fantry forces advanced .within four or five hundred . metres from the enemy s . posi tion. But the wire entanglements and mines lay before us And the enemy's iu fantry and the machine guns, which yet remained, kept up an unabated fire. Finally our infantry forces approached within 200 metres from the enemy's position and tried several charges, nut tney still proved un successful, officers and men falling within twenty or thirty metres from the enemy's position. Thereupon, our artillery began a heavy firing in the evening. During the severest cannonading the last charge was made and the breach was opened with great ditliculty through which we gained the whole height, expelled the enemy and captured all the guns on the forts. One of fortunate incidents in the at k was the discovery. of a mine wire at eastern foot of Nan-Shan hill, the cutting ot which prevented heavy loss. JAPAN'S GREAT LOSS ON TWO WARSHIPS TOKIO, May CS. Revised figures show that sixty-one noncommissioned officers and 378 blue jackets were killed and drowned, seven officers, thirteen noncommissioned officers and fifty blue jackets were rlightly wounded, and twelve blue Jackets seriously wounded in the sinking of the Japanese battleship Hatsuse by a mine off Port Ar thur 011 May 13. Two hundred and thirtyfive noncommlssionel olficers and men lost their lives on the cruiser Yoshlno.Svhich waa rammed and sunk by the cruiser Kasuga on the same day that the Hatsuse was blown up. The Navy Department has not yet received a detailed report of the two disasters. CHINESE 'ARE ASSISTING JAPANESE IN EVERY WAY. CIIE-FOO. May 23. 0:20 a. m.-A Pitsewo correspondent writes that the Chinese are assisting the Japanese in every way, and that the. Chunchus and other bandits are regularly enlisted in the Japanese army. KUROPATKIN REPORTS MINOR ENGAGEMENTS ST. PETERSBURG, May 2S. The Czar has received the following dispatch from General Kuropatkln. dated May 27: "On May 23 a Japanese force consisting of a battalion of infantry and a squadron of cavalry advanced on tho main road to Llao-Yang, but was soon compelled to re tire Joward Tkhoulnenze. A second Jap ans aeiucaracnt. consuunz or a Dattauon

an attempt to turn the Cossacks' right hank and intercept their retreat. RUSSIAN MOVEMENTS IN EASTERN KOREA TOKIO, May 2S.-The Japanese arc not seriously disturbe! by the Russian opera tions in eastern Korea. The movements of the Cossack cavalry and battery of guns that accompanied them is being closely watched by the Japanese, who are confi dent in their ability to protect their com munications and maintain the military supremacy in Korea. The Yalu river victory, which opened the Yalu territory to water communication, diminishes the importance of land communications from Chin-Nam-Po to YViiu. The loss of their naval power compels the Russians to avoid the sea along the eastern coast of Korea and limits their operations to the land, where trans portation lifiicultiea prevent the concentration and operation of a large land force. It linn In Order To Crniners. COPENHAGEN, May 2S.-Burmeister & Wain, of Copenhagen, to-day received an order to build two first-class cruisers for the Russian government. The vessels will not leave Denmark before the close of the war.

G, S, STOKE IS ELECTED GRAHDCH1EF ENGINEER W. B. Prenter Is Chosen to Fill the Position Made Vacant by IngrahanYs Death. LOS ANGELES, May 2S. Eventful were the proceedings at both sessions of the locomotive engineers' convention to:day. The chair so tragically v?cated by T. S. Ingraham was filled by W. B. Trenter. Grand Chief Engineer W. S. Stone was re turned to office by an almost unanimous vote, and the insurance branch was de prived of an officer who, with President Futch. has since 13T so administered the association interests as to place it along with fraternal organizations. The change of office for Prenter means a serious loss to the insurance association. This evening the board of trustees of the brotherhood met to canvass the field for a suitable man to be given the insurance secretaryship. The result of this canvass will be made public Monday forenoon, when the convention will be asked to indorse the choice of the trustees. First Chief Trenter became a member of the brotherhood in 1S73 at Toronto, Canada. For twenty-four years he has held office either in subdivisions or in grand divisions and was elected to the Insurance secretaryship in 1S96. The event of the afternoon's executive session was the election of Grand Chief Stone by a vote that was a surprise even to his friends. But one ballot was neces sary for a choice. Chief Stone received 430 votes. Matt Shay 107 and C. W. Gardner 41. The test were scattered. HERERQS TRADE SLAVES ! FOR POWDER AND GUNS Englishmen and Portuguese Accused of Nefarious Traffic in ' Southwest Africa. BERLIN. May 29. The Vossische Zeitung this morning publishes a letter in which the writer raises the question as to how the rebellious Ilereros In German South west Africa pay the English and Portu guesb traders for the weapons and ammu nltioh which they continue to receive by way i of Ovambo, and declares that cattle are hot the only medium of payment. "The traders." says the letter, "accept slaves also. The slave trade from the German protectorate, by way of Kunene to Ang-ola, had been goins? on for some time and certainly began before the breaking out of the Herero rebellion. It was prob ably: carried on without the government's knowledge. However, proofs in the shape of formal business letters mentioning the delivery of weapons and ammunition in exchange for slaves have been in the hands of the Windhoek government for home time1. In Angola these slaves pass as free laborers. They will probably gt) mainly to plantations on the rortuguese islands in the Gulf of Guinea. It can be assumed that the German government will question the Portuguese authorities sharply about the matter, but we cannot reproach our melghbors more than ourselves. They are not able to keep order in their borders nor we In ours." TWO WELL-KNOWN DOCTORS PASS AWAY. CHICAGO. May 2S. Dr. Ralph N. Isham, for nearly half a century one of the leading physicians of Chicago, died to-day at Lake Forest, III. Death was due to can cer .of the stoniach.

SKETCH OF THE LATE SENATOR'S CAREER Matthew Stanley Quay was born at Dillsbury, York c?unty, Pennsylvania, Sept. S, 1S33. His fath r was a Presbyterian clergyman. The family removed to Beaver coun ty while Matthew was still young. He was educated at Jefferson College. Ii Canonsburg, end on graduating- began the study of law? In Pittsburg. Before com mencing rrac'Ice he went to the Southwestern State.-, where for a short time he taught school ;in order to pay his expenses. In 1n54 he returned to Beaver county, and resumed his liw studies, and was admitted to the bar. The next year he was elected prothonotary of the county, and was reelected in 1SGP. When the war broke out, in 1861, he was called to Harrisburg to serve in fitting out the State forces, and in 1SH2 received the appointment of colonel of the One-hundred-ind-thirty-fourth Pennsylva nia Regiment for nins months' service. He then became successively state agent at Washington and military secretary to the Governor. He was elected to the Legislature In 1SG5. and two years after was a candidate for speaker of tho House,' but was defeated. He next established the Beaver Radical, a strong Republican paper. and before 1870 was recognized as one of the leading forces in State politics, as he has been ever since. In 1S72 he was appointed secretary of the commonwealth, and held this position for many years, save that during a short interval in chairman of the Republican state commithe was recorder of Philadelphia, lie was chairman of the Republican State commit tee in isb-y; was secretary 01 the com monwealth, 1873-1852; was delegate at large to the Republican national conventions of 1S72, 1S76 and 1SSÖ; was elected state treasurer in 1S85; was elected a member of the Republican national committee and chosen chairman thereof and ex officio chairman of the executive committee when the com mittee organized in July. 1S88, and conduct ed the successful presidential campaign of that year: wa a delegate to the Republic an state convention; was chairman of the Republican state committee l-ito; was a delegate to the Republican national convention of lsiW; was elected a member of the Repub lican national committee and chosen a member of the executive committee in 1SD6; was elected to the United States Senate as a Republican, to succeed John I. Mitchell, and took his seat March 4, 1SS7; was re-elected in 1S03; waa defeated lor re election in 1893 by a deadlock existingthroughout the session of the Legislature; was appointed United States Senator by the Governor of Pennsylvania to fill tne vacancy caused by the failure of the Legislature to elct. but the appointment was not recognized by the Senate. On the day of his rejection by the Senate he was nom inated to su.ceed himscif by tho Republican state Convention of Pennsylvania; was re-elect.'d Senator Jan. 13, l'JUl. and elected again in l'JOi. INCIDENTS OF HIS LIFE. The foregoing is a bare recital of the po litical career of Senator Quay, as taken from the Congressional Directory. Many interesting stories, however, are told of the senator's loig public life, some of them true and others the fabrication of his political enemi s. He was the son of a good Presbyterian preacher. About the time of Senator Quay's birth his father, at Dillsburg, was hjinded a notice of an anti-temperance meeting to be called in his church. Having read it, he did announce: "There will be no anti-temperance meeting in my church, and if there Is I will take my little family by ths hand and leave the place immediately." "Gath" (Goorge Alfred Townsend), In a letter written in 1897, said the people of Beaver have little recollection of the shy, recluse young student who came to their bar in 1S54 and at once stepped into affiliation and conviction with the new Republican party. His pen and pencil, the one to compose newspaper articles and the other to tabulate Votes, at once began their long career of nyw forty-four years, for the man is coming to sixty-five. He also lost no time in running for the county, office of prothonotary and held it till about the war, when, at twenty-eight, he followed his convictions into the army, and at one time commanded a regiment iu the slaughter of Fredericksburg, was Governor Curtin's secretary, stati agent to deal with the national government, etc., and finally was elected by Beaver county to the Legislature. Give the ctireer Its due charity, and it was straightforward and according to one representative purpose. He had no capital, but some knowledge; no trade, but the pastoral art with congregations, and he secured his nominations from a party and his elections from the people. He took hi3 life .into the great fight and might now have been the white letter one in some national cemetery's columns of stories. The effect of that war upon Lieutenant Colonel Quay probably was in the ratio of its effect upon every man and woman in the country, and as he plied between Harrisburg, Washington and the camps, the effect upon him, a semi-worldly country preacher's lad. was no doubt prodigious. Lord Nelson and Aaron Burr were parsons' sons turned into soldiers. The overthrow of the parsonage preclseness by the campnre's irksome or feverish associations, the battles men fight with their soldiers' pay. the courage of the spirit restrained from the danger it would rejoice in and soliciting some daredevil moral or pecuniary hazard, may have returned Mr. Quay to private life a revolutionized reality. RUSHED TO BATTLE. It is remarked that he was well spoken of by his superiors, though they might hate each other. Governor Curtin, for whom he named a sen, and Cameron, never friends, trusted Mr. Quay equally. Governor Curtin once sail that Quay was about to leave the army with a belt full of money from his comrades to their families buckled around his body, when the battle was ordered on at Fredericksburg. Forgetting the mcney he went into the carnage, till all at onco he recollected the trust he had accepted and he as swiftly drew out. It takes an entire lifetime for the son of an old-fashioned parson to adapt himself to the world, lie is apt to be both green and reckless; to "plunge" desperately; to obey the spirit of his impulses, without any regular procedure; to believe, iu short, like the birds and insects of the night when they fiy into the bright lights of towns and trolleys. . The fisherman life of Quay; his rolling the stone, of solvency forever up hill; his backsliding and Indian-like way of entering church and sitting near the door till forgiven for r.ls offenses, are passages iu the descent of -species. Heine, in - the ballad, tells of a pastor's son and daughter suddenly exclaiming in the parsonage among the white gravestones, the one: "I'll fiy to the baron, who is fond of me!" The other: "I'll join the black band and rob!" when their dead father rises in his shroud from among the graves and gazes in at the window. The best to be expected of a robust preacher's ;3on, said Gath, is that he shall not be a hypocrite, and sometimes will have a reaction toward morals. Upon this latter impulse Quay appealed to the Stato when the party organization was to be taken from him and stood nearly as high as Samuel J. Tilden when he cried iu a Democratic convention, "I will go back among my plundered constituents." Rut even Tilden cyphered too muc?, and Quay had nver riade his haunts an4 companionships iu this restful homesteads where reform Is helfed. Mr. Quay, according to his own confession, had been deceived by friends, and he had been misled while iu office to make improper use of the state's money. However, he nude full restitution. Aftr the: re-election of Grant in 1S72 the Republican leaders of Pennsylvania became reckless. Four years "later, after labeling Hartranft a presidential candidate to beat Ulaine, the leaders found Hayes upon their hands with a reform Cabinet. General Cameron anticipated Conkling and Piatt by throwing himself out of the Senate, but he did not neglect to slip his toga on his son. . "OATH'S" ESTIMATE. In his letter Gath raid: "About ;S79-S0 I first saw Jdr. Quay in a room at Harrisburg, where there was a long legislative btruggle to elect the successor of W. A. A allace to the United States Senate. Mr. Quay was ostensibly for Henry Oliver, of Pittsburg; some said Quay wanted to be feuator ..r.iself, but was afraid to face the late treasury scandal. By this time Hayes had beatei; panic tlme3 and we were back tu fcVccie payments. Congressman John I.

Long Suffering

Mitchell was elected and Arthur soon becoming President, fell into an humble Imitation of Hayes, and Mitchell ras deserted by the Democrats in the Senate whenever Don Cameron was against him. "Mr. Quay then appeared to me. in spite of a tumbled, frowsy appearance incidental to all-night seances, to be of a better address than I had expected. Rather gentle, particularly quiet, inoffensive and but little communicative, yet not repellant nor cold, he spoke a little with mc in a bedroom full of men. and that little left such a considerate impression that I have never added anything to the attacks made upon him, which, in the .chief instance, were gratuitous and sensational and outride of the State. Men with had motives, and the worst motive is cruelty, cannot injure erring great men. It is the public jury sworn to be impartial which settles their officers late, lens or , 'crucify him' outside of the commonwealth are as ineffective as the picture of the young man yelling it in Mr. Wannamaker's Munkacsy. "The marks of good reaciing are in Quay's countenance, which is better than his features. His attention Is judicial. He does not seek to makf. any Impression. You who address him a face respectful, almost meek sphinx, in whom, however, is the political gravity, barely inclining toward dignity or telf-respect. Considering the contacts he has had, he is always a survival. He does no causeless injury, says few or no harsh words across party lines, and is. I think perhaps was, rather than is the Republican favorite among the Democrats. This may arise from the plalntiveness of his solitude and undemonstrativeness. The unused resources of the silent fall with strong effect when exerted. There may be in Mr. Quay, also, a hidden fellowship like the human resemblances in the pudding stone columns of the old national Capitol, which, when revealed, look very singular. "Here he is in the warm weather fishing In Florida. A few weeks ago I saw him at Atlantic City, almost; boyishly dressed. A certain cast in his eye makes people wary of him, and is, perhaps, interpreted to his gTeatness or ill. as it was said of Jim Elliott, the strabismus-marked prize fighter, that he was formidable because his blow could not be gutssed from his glance. Homeliness capitalizes upon long acquaintance. The homely wife has unseen traits which linger long. LOVED HIS LIBRARY. "Beneath the politician, Mr. Quay is a lover of his library, and no consolation in this world is like the voice of books to an intelligent truant. They mend an abused friendship, a stomach deranged or a desertion by popularity. All of Mr. Quay's j property is said to have gone dn his great calamity but his library: "I let them take whate'er they would. But kept my father's sword. "The man who catches as many books as fish has a second great constituency to which he can appeal. Like Charles James Fox, who, when ruined by play, was found next morning calmly reading Cicero in the original Latin, Mr. Quay can appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober."Devotion and growth with a great political party is the highest sort of career. Only large and great countries afford such a party. In its nearly fifty years of flood tide, however, Mr. Quay has descended with the Republican party from the brook to the river and has been ten years its United States senator, that place at which he aimed with more comprehension of its duties than many of the purse-proud or the accidental who arrive there. "In 1ST4 the first Republican convention was held at Pittsburg in Mr. Quay's locality, Alexander K. McClure Its chairman of resolutions, and perhaps that inspired tho reference in Mr. Quay's congratulations to his friend last winter, 'now as ever from the beginning of our acquaintance.' In 1S55 the first informal national convention of the Republican party met at Pittsburg. The western part of the State was far in advance of the colonial portions of Pennsylvania in radical action to stem the overflow of slavery, and M. S." Quay wras not made a Republican by the war. From his humble position of prothonotary of Beaver county, he was in at the party's birth. "Such consolation as a father can have in a wayward and tyrannical son may bo his, who waited thirty-three years in the party's kitchen before he was invited up to a real honor. He got the fatted calf and its complement of sauce from his tame brother when the animal had become nearly a heifer. And his friends insist that he has been on the defensive ever, since he was senator, "never a senatorial tyrant. . "The final retirement of the Second Cameron from a family domination of about fifty-four years is an augury of what might be done with apparently impossible things. Cameron sank out. He went through a quicksand. Having declared nothing for many years in the Senate except that he lent Mr. Quay 100,0O) and had been "repaid," Mr. Cameron assembled positive impressions about silver, a subject traditional with a man born in an old-fashioned state bank, where the-currency was so much worse than the silver that the silver seemed the money of the gods. This, his one declaration, voted Mr. Cameron out of his father's seat, which the old gentleman obtained by the aid of three German silver votes just before the war." "FAIL" NOT IN HIS VOCABULARY. Senator Quay's fight with John Wana-v maker is too recent to require review. Quay came out on top. He had a faculty of landing on his feet, no matter from what height he jumped. Many persons predicted that as director-in-chief of General . prison's first campaign he would fail, but the astute politician had no such word as "fail" in 'his vocabulary. One of the greatest fights in Quay's ca reer, and one which emphasized, in great est degree, his immense faculty for political management and the mastery of detail, was that incident to the presidential campaign of 1SSS in the prevention of a Tammany steal of New York. The senator learned early in the campaign some details of Tarn many's plans for the colonization of voters in New York He sent for a friend, gave him his instructions and a sufficient sum of money, and sent hlmto the metropolis to proceed witn tne getting out of a city directory. He was ordered to proceed, if -necessary, to the actual point of publication. Offices were opened in a down-town building, . canvassers were advertised for and secured, ant tne work of preparing the directory lists was under way within ten days. The name of every man, woman and child within the corporate limits was taken, and every man was asked his age and wnetner ne was native or alien-born, and if the latter was he naturalized or'unnaturalixed? The work was completed four weeks before election day, by which time several of the New York directory publishing firms had become frightened and had offered fabulous sums for the data, plant and good will of the supposed publishers. When the lists were completed Mr. Quay sent for the Tammany leaders. Ho told them what he had done, and said that any man attempting to vote whose name was not on the lists which would be in tho hands of the Republican election officials would be prosecuted to the limit of the law. For the first time. and. perhaps, for the last, not an illegal vote was cast in New York city in the presidential election of that year, and the Republicans carried the State and the Nation. TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD FROM PENNSYL VAN I ANS HARRISBURG, xPa., vMay 2S.-Govcrnor Pe-nnypacker was shocked by the news of Senator Quay's death. The Governor said: "He had a divine gift.

Xo other man In public life, born of our Pennsylvania people, gave such an impression to those with whom he was brought in contact of personal and intellectual power. .

Few Americans have had a mors potent influence upon the growth and development of national affairs. An erudite scholar, versed in all branches of literature, a brave soldier in the time of his country's need, a forceful writer, a born leader and organizer of men for the purposes for which society is instituted, the benefits he has conferred upon his fellow-citizens will be ever cherished and remembered." The proclamation orders that the flags on the public buildings be. displayed at half-staff, and that the several departments of the state government be closed upon the day of his funeral. PHILADELPHIA, May 28. News of the death of Senator Quay spread rapidly and expressions of regret were heard on all sides. Mayor Weaver ordered the flags on all municipal buildings at half-mast.
