LIFE'S JOURNEY ENDED.
DEATH OF JUSTICE MATTHEWS. II Faasad Aw; at Hia Washlngta Bom Yastarday IMoradna; After u Illnasa of Something Over a Taar, Sarreandad by Member of Bia Family. WAeHlSGToy, March 22. Associate Justice Stanley Matthews of the U. S. aapreme court, died at 10:05 this morning. The last change in the condition of Justice Matthew a occurred yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. In the morning he had been feeling quite comfortable and cheerful. At that hour, howeyer, the intense pain, which marked the periods ot decline, recurred and never left him until death brought relief. Dr. "William W. Johnston was summon ed, and, finding his patient suffering so intensely, administered opiates which, toward morning, induced a täte of semi-consciousness in which he remained until the end. Occasionally he would partially revive and recognize the loved ones near him by a glance or pressure of the hand, but a relapse soon followed. For a number of hours previous to death he was practically unconscious. In his last hours the dying justice was surrounded by members of his family who have been with him throughout his illness. Mrs. Matthews, his daughters, Miss Matthews and Miss Era Matthews, and his son, Taul Matthews, and Mr. C. Ii. Matthews, hia brother of Cincinnati, who came to "Washington a week or ten days ago. Dr. Johnston and the faithful colored servant, who only a few days ago announced to callers with great satisfaction, that "Justice Matthews is ever to much better," were also present. The chamber in which Justice Matthews breathed his last and which has been his world eince last September, is on the east side of the second story of the elegant mansion occupied by him for several years, on the corner of Con-Becticut-ave. and N-st. The tightly-drawn blinds along the entire arenue front this mornin; aflorded the first indication to neighbors and passers-by that all was not as usual within. The reports of Justice Matthews' condition during the past week had been of suh a cheering nature that apprehension was in a great measure subdned and the news of hia death came with a shock, even to many who had been prepared for the announcement at any time during the winter. The justice was ever a cheerful and hopeful patient, and naturally the members of the family endeavored to be as cheerful and hopeful as he, and it was owing to his own belief that the favorable reports of the past week were given to those who inquired after his health. Only yesterday morning Justice Matthews was discussing with his family various plans for the future when he should be able, as in the past, to take part in their execution. "But at no time since his return to "Washington," said one of the family thia morning, "have we really felt that there was hope of hi recovery." Justice Matthews had been an invalid for a year or wore. During the winter of 1SS7-.S he frequently complained of indigestion and muscular rheumatism, and as the spring wore on becan to starrer from obstinate diarrhoea, from whic'i he lost a great deal of strength and fleK At this time it was thought that his grsat devotion to work was, to a iarge degree, a sponsible for his illness, and acting upon the advice of his physician and friend's, who had treat hope? that a change of air might prove a benefit. h? went to Massachusetts, stopping for pome time at l-erox mid then at Nantucket, but he continued to lose ground. During the sunicer he had several attacks of muscular rheuXBatim, associated with hieh lever, which would ronSne him to his bed tor several days at a t.tne. Ou his return home he beiran to improve somewhat, but he continued to sutler from the intercurrent attacks, which alw-nys greatly reduced h; Mrencth and flesh. Tiu-se came on at intervals of thre or four weeks, lietween the in he would have periods of marked imj.rovement, and several times when Dr. Johnton was confidently hoping to be able to get him out another ottm-k would prostrate him and leave him weaker than ever. During last February he suffered greatly with a complication of cystitis andiritU. About this time an ulcer of the cornea appeared, with an effusion into the pleoual cavity which were attributable to his rheumatic condition. He recovered, however, from both of these latter complications. For about eight weeks previous to the final illness, he had been absolutely free from pain and his physician and family had great hopes of his ultimate recovery. That hope was modified, however, by the fact that, while he had a good appetite and good digestion, he did not pin in flesh, although his strength improved daily. At this time he sat up during a part of each day and walked about his room and into the other rooms on the same floor. liut about the 4th of March he had an acute tuck of high fever, which lasted several days, and which very much exhausted him. After this passed off he aeemed to be improving with a return of appetite, but a recurrence of the chills and fever, associated with cystitis still further added to his exhaustion and debility. During all of thia time hia pulse was exceedingly feeble and the action of the heart waa sustained only by remedies administered for that purpose. Yesterday afternoon he had a prolonzed chill and high Tever which brought on intense local surfe ring. This was followed, in a few hours, by another chill from which he could not rally. He continued to lose strength and died a few minute after 10 o'clock this morning. The immediate cause of death was exhaustion of the heart and congestion of the kidneys with partial suppression of the urine. Beside his regular attendant, Dr. William W. Johnston, other eminent physicians, including Dr. William Pepper of Philadelphia and Dr. S. s. Lincoln of Washington, were called in consultation from time to time. A large number of messages of condolence were received during the afternoon. Among them were the following: F.xecctive Mx;o.v, ) WiSHi.fi.TON, March j Ml" Dear Mas. Matthews I have heard t;h tbe most profound regret of tho death of tout nwet honored hithand. The nxse of l-is and benaveueot whk-n you Icel will rm ehar.-d by all our people.

Adjourn a Immediately After Hearing of th Death of the Associate Justice. "Washington; March 22. It was shortly after 10 o'clock this morning when the intelligence of the death of Associate Justice Matthews reached the supreme court-room in the capitoL The proper officers of the court immediately authorized the draping in black of the seat lately occupied by the associate justice. When the hour of 12 o'clock arrived the court assembled as usual and was opened in due form by the crier. Upon taking his Beat in the center of the bench the chief justice made the following announcement: "The court haa received the melancholy intelligence of the death of its beloved member, Mr. Justice Matthews, in thia city at 10 o'clock this morning. No business will therefore be transacted and the court will adjourn until Tuesday next at 1- o'clock." No arrangements for the funeral of the late chief justice have as yet been made by the court itself. Atiy arrangements that the court will hereafter order will depend entirely on those first made by the family of the deceased associate justice. "When the late Chief Justice Waite died the marshal of the court assumed control of all the preparations for the interment. Ittit in the case of the late Associate Justice Woods the arrangements were made by the family of the deceased, and this will probably be done in this case. When the court reassembles on Tuesday next a committee of its members will be selected to accompany the remains to their place of burial. This will necessitate a further ad journment of the court until about Monday of the following week. A brother of the late associate justice is in the city on business before the supreme court, and he will assist in making the arrangements for the funeral. THE VACANCY. Who Will Succeed the Lato Associate Justice the Subject of Discussion. Washington, March -J. The probable effect of the death of Justice Matthews upon the length of the special session of the senate was discussed at the capitol to-day. Senator Sherman's announcement yesterday that the president would be enabled to let the senators go home next week was received with great satisfaction by those senators (a large majority) who are desirous of leaving Washington, and i seems that final adjournment could be had next Thursday or Friday. But the sad event of to-day may cause a postponement. Said one senator to-day: "I do not see now how we can getaway next week. The filling of this vacancy of the supreme bench is an import art matter, and the president will want time to consider it carefully." "Can't it eo over until fall?'' vai asked. "The court has been without the presence of Justice Matthews for almost a year, and it will shortly adjourn." "They adjourn," responded the senator, "to go on their several circuits, and it is there that the services of the associate justices are in demand ior the expedition of business." The succession to the vacancy is already discussed, there being two programs laid out by those who talk. One is that Judge (iresham, now judge of the circuit comprising the states of Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana, will be nominated for associate justice. He would in turn be succeeded by Judge W. A. Woods, leaving a vacancy to be filled in the district of Indiana. The other program includes the transfer of Atty.-Gcn. Miller to the supreme bench, of Secretary Noble to the head of the department of justice and of Assistant Postmaster (jeneral Clarkson to the interior department. Fvpress'ons of Regret. Washington, Mareh 22. Jnstice Field, who had known Justice Matthews intimately more so, probably, than any other member of the court after the conrt adjourned, expressed the sentiments of himself and his associates upon th death of their brother juMtice. Said lie: "The members ot the supreme conrt deeply defilore the death of Justice Matthews, they lad become attached to him in au unusual decree, lie whs an industrious jude and his decisions exhibited wide research and thorough culture. He was an able lawyer, a wise judce and a Chri-tian gentleman." The death of Justice Matthews was the subject of conversation among senators to-day, many of whom had ferved with him during his term in the senate, and on every hand words of regret and eulogy were paid. HIS RECORD A STARTLING ONE. Mat Zimmerman, the Cowboy Desperado, Awaiting Execution His Career. Cheyenne, Wy. T., March 20. Mat Zimmerman, the cowboy desperado, who was captured in Utah last Monday, has been delivered to the Nebraska authorities and is now awaiting identification and the execution of the death sentence. Zimmerman is a young man, but his record is a startling one. Seven years ago, when he was but nineteen, he raided the ranches in Hitchcock connty, Nebraska, in company with Courtney Iklmont,a young Mexican, and stole a big band of ponies. With these they rode off toward the east and were aoon followed by ShenQ' Jack Woods and a motley posse of cowboys. Near the hamlet of Minden, in Kearney county, the stolen ponies were found at pasture on the prairie, and while hia men were busy securing them Woods and one deputy rode into town to look for the thieves. They found them at supper in tha Prairie home. Woods, without much thought of resistance, went to the door of the dining-room, gun in hand, and sung out for the desperadoes to surrender, (juick as a flash Belmont, who had bis pistol lvintr on his lap, msde a snap shot and joor Woods fell dead. Zimmerman, with an equally quick shot, wounded the deputy and then both rushed for the door. As they were leaving the room they fired another volley as if to intimidate anyone from following them, and K. K. Kelly, a guest, who was trying to tret his wife stowed away out of danger, was killed. On the pon-h they met John Collins, a mail carrier, who had just driven up, and, deliberately shooting him down, they rode ofl toward the Kansas line. There was a general turn-out in pursuit and even the state militia were ordered to join in the hunt. A week later lielmont was killed by a fanner named i'outz. at whose house the thieves had stopped. Zimmerman, who seemed to be completely unnerved by his partner's death, was easily captured. He was taUen back to Winden, tried and sentenced tc Ath, but the supreme court reversed the verdict on the cround that as Sheriff Woods had no warrant, Zimmerman and Bclinont were justified in resisting arrest. A second trial was had and aeain conviction followed and the death sentence was imposed. Apnin tbe supreme court reversed the finding. Back Zimmerman went before the same judge and for the th'"1 time he was found guilty and sentenced to e hanged. The usual appeal to the supreme conrt was taken and while it wan pending the prisoner'a lawyer bit upon a novel method of securing his client's release. He succeeded in convincing a C S. commissioner that he ha the right, pending the hearing, to admit Zimmerman to bail. He fixed the bonds at $10,000, straw bail was furnished, and Zimmerman levanted. This was four years ago and uothing was heard of Zimmerman until his recapture in UtaH last Monday. Meantime hia case has been decided against him by the supreme court, and the chances of hia being hanged are Yry strong. Degrees of Offensive Partisanship. Washington fpecial Representative Thomas M. Browne of Indiana approached tbe postmaster-general with this qnestion: "Will you remove a postmaster who is an ardent democrat hut a capable officer on charges of offensive partisanship?" "No, I will not," was the answer, "bat I will remove the officials who permit their partisanship to interfere with the conduct of their office. In other words, men who make themselves odious, offensive and objectionable to the patrons of the office and men who are in the habit of discussing polities on the street when they should be attending' to their do ties." The postmaster-general intimated that thia rule would not apply to fourth-class postmasters, who would be removed for offensiue partiaanship as aoon as possible. Popularity .Explained. Mrs. fladd "I hear that a Yankee woman. named Winnlow ia beini; petted by tbe English royal family." Mrs. Gabb (thinking of the numerous babies in that household "I wonder if it isn't the one that invented soothing sirup." Pitcher's Castoria.

He Wanted a Place of Little Business, No Frills nnd No Dress Coats. Washington Special. When John C. New came to Washington last Friday night the president had not offered him any office, and Mr. New, of course, had not asked for one. On Saturday afternoon they went out to ride together, and after they had passed ont of town into the country the president said: "John, I want to give yon an appointment in the diplomatic service some' thing first-class. What do you want?" "I don't want anything," replied Mr. New. "I am not an aspirant for any office, and I did not come here for that purpose. All I have to ask you is that you will take care of some of our friends who have been working in your interest under my direction and expect to be paid for it, now that you are president. I feel rather responsible for them myself, and if they don't get something they will blame me." "They will all be taken care of," answered the president, "bot I mnst do something for you. I know that you are not after an office,
but yon mast accept one, for, if yon do not, your friends will believe me jruilty of the grossest ingratitude. I wast to send you abroad." "Well, if I am tobe exiled," replied Col. New, good-naturedly, "may I select the prison I am to occupy?" "You may have anything you want," waa the answer. "If I go abroad I would prefer a place where there is a little business, just enough to occupy my time, and no frills. 1 don't want you to put me where I will have many social obligations, where I will have to ppend all my money in entertaining. I don't want to live in a swallow-tail coat." After a little more talk it was determined that Mr. New should be made consul-general to London, where there is much money and no frills, and his nomination was sent to the senate to-day. He will be promptly confirmed and without objection. BILLIARDS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Tbe President and "Lie" Hunting- For Recreation. Washington Special. Hain prevented President Ilarrison from taking his usual constitutional walk yesterday, and in his determination to find 6ome kind of a recreation he called Secy. Halford, and the two men began an investigation of the ramifications of the white house. They finally hauled up in the old billiard-room, which has not been used since President Arthur's time. The private secretary, not knowing any more about billiard than the president, was nonplussed when he was directed to "set the balls." The two men shed their coats, however, selected each a cue, and began to chalk the ends of the sticks like professionals. "sdinll it be a pocket game or a three-ball balk?" asked .Mr. Halford, "What's that?" said the president. "I don't kuow," responded the secretary, "except I have seen the term used in the sportin? columns of the Indianapolis Journal. The president smiled as he replied: "All rieht; let it be a three-ball game, and we will make it a cushion Käme." The two tuen set their balls and fixed a rule that each should have three times to strike at their own balls with the cne, and tour successive opportunities to hit a second ball with their own after they had succeeded in punching the "white ally." After mopping the perspiration ol! their foreheads for fully an hour the president drew a long sigh, and, putting up his cue, inquired: "Lige, how does the score stand?" The private secretary put on his methodist eye-classes, and, looking at the string, replied to the presbytcrian president: "Haven't kept one; I don't know how they do it" WILL ISSUE A PROCLAMATION Relative to the Behring: Sea and the Legislation of the Last Congress. Washington, March 21. The president will soon issue a proclamation relative to the Behring sea which cannot fail to attract international attention. This proclamation will be the first information which most people will have that, in the closing hours of the last congress, an amendment was incorporated in the inter-territorial salmon-fishing set which, in effect, declares that the Behring sea is a closed sea. By this legislative enactment congress has attempted to settle a grae point over which the treaty nations have contended. The amendments in its terms extend the provisions of the salmon - fishing act to seal fishing in Behring pea. That is to say, the act forbids the taking of seal by any one not authorized by the act within the water of Behring pea. This does not exclude them merely from fishing ou certain islands. The amendment is, of course, of the greatest importance to the Alaska fur seal company, as it will preserve the seal fisheries for them. It is also of great importance to the American and Canadian fishermen who nay have been planning to engage in seal fishing iu the open waters of th Behring sea this season, as so many of the Canadian vessels did last season. The act authorizes the seizure of such vessels hy l 8. revenue critters. The proclamation of the president will call attention to this fact. The act may give rise to important international complications. It is an attempt by legislative enactment to settle an international quet-tion which the grrnt powers interested may consider still an open one. THE SURPLUS GROWING. It Has Incrensd .-.00),00( Within the Tast Ten Days. Washington, March 2-. The treasury surplus has Leen steadily increasing for several days past. It now amounts to .k),2UO,000, or $",OoO,OUO more than it was ten days ago. This increase is due to the great excess of receipts over disbursements since the first of the month. The receipts to date aggregate J3,200,000, while the expenditures during tbe same period amount to a little over twelve millions, including about two millions paid out on account of pensions. Until recently the receipts and expenditures have been pretty well balanced by the purchase of bonds, but this method of applj-ing the surplus has been considerably hampered of late by the light offerings. The pjrehases have been confined to ) per cent, bonds, but this is partly due to the high price asked for the 4 per cents. YT1U Exclude the Invaders. Washington, March 21. The following telegram was sent at 4:35 this afternoon: The Commanding General, IHrision Missouri, Chicago: The act of congress, approved March 2, 18SD, proriiles. in substance, that no person shall he (terniitted to enter upon and occupy the land recently ceeled to the United Wirtes by ihe'Creek and (eininole Indians until said Itnds are opened for settlement by proclamation of the president, and that no person violating this provision shall ever he permitted to ent-T auy oi said lauds or acqutro any rikht thereto. The president directs that the officers under your comiu:tud caiine the jieople to he fully informed of these provisions of the law, and that they take and preserve the names of all persons who may enter the territory in violation of this provision, so that the same may be enforced by the land department whf n said lands are latrtul'y opened for settlement. Ily order of Maj.-Oen. Schofield. J. C. Kelto.x, A. A. (. FIGHTING MONOPOLY TAXESThe Tariff Reform Movement In Indians and Other States. Boston Herald. The formation of a tariff reform leegue for the state of Indiana on the day of President Harrison's inauguration is a significant proof that those who are opposed to the protectionist policy of the present admiuintration intend, as the saying is, "to carry the war into Africa." The recent tariff reform convention which was held at Chicaco is said to have furnished a ptrikini; demonstration of the intense zeal of the anti-protectionists of the West. These latter assert that the qualifications made by eastern tariff reiormera durine the last political campaign were decidedly damaging to the progress of the cause in the wettern states; that the people there believe in complete free trade, that is, as near free trade as it is possible to get while raising a part of the revenue by a tax imposed upon imports. The qualifications made in the Eat of placing raw materials upou the free list and protecting finished commodities is not at all to their liking. They assert that this is a sacrifice of principle; that, once admit the right of the government to make its laws for the benefit of classes, and, ethically considered, the whole question is given away. Who shall be protected and who shall not be protected becomes then simply a question of congressional expediency, and, naturally, those who have the strongest pull at Washington are likely to be the ones who will reap the greatest benefit. The western ideal of an antiprotection campaign is to come out boldly and vigorously in favor of free trade, denouncing protection as morally and economically wrong. It is on this basis that the reform league has been started in the state of Indiana, and has already received the enthusiastic support of an unexpectedly lame number of prominent citizens. Thia, it is said, is but . the first more in an effort toward organization that is to be made in all of tbe western states for the purpose of carrying on the anti-protection missionary work in the same spirit and with the same zeal that the anti-slavery propaganda wai preached thirty years ago.

DIRE WORK OF A CLERK.
THE COAL SCREEN BILL ANNULLED. The Enrolling Clerk Kills the Bill by Omitting the Enacting Claas The Same Bill That tha Lobby One Attempted - to Steal A Strange Omission. (Friday's Daily entineL The chief of the bureau of state printing, Mr. Bookwalter, yesterday took a whack at the constitution and rendered a decision that the minerV bill providing for a standard coal screen for the inspection ot scales, preventing the operators from cheating the miners and for protection of the lives of men by a better system of ventilations and props, was "unconstitutional." What is worse, the 10,000 coal miners who fought this bill through the legislature notwithstanding the great opposition of the operators' lobby will learn with great disappointment that Mr. Bookwalter is right. The coal screen bill is null and void! An honest legislature downs the lobby and passes the greatest labor bill presented, but the man who enrolled it defeats the will of the people by leaving out the enacting clause. An examination of the engrossed copy now on file with the state librarian shows that the engrossed copy was all right. On the first pace of the engrossed copy is the title. The second pnee contains the first section, which reads as follows: Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of tbe state of Indiana, that the owner,, agent or operator of erery coal mine, etc. But the enrolling clerk enrolled it this way: Section t. That the owner, agent, or operator of eTery coal mine, etc. It is hardly possible that this be an oversight, for the word "that," in the engrossed copy from which the enrolled copy was made, is in the middle of the third line. "Sec 1. Be it enacted by the," being in the first line, "general assembly of the state of," in the second line, and the third line is as follows: "Indiana, that tbe owner, agent." thus: Section 1. (Be it enacted by the (reneral assembly of the state of Indiana,) Oval the matter in parenthesis being the part omitted by the enrolling clerk. Circumstantial evidence indicates a collusion between this enrolling clerk and the operators' lobby. The bill was introduced by Mr. Carroll, and Mr. Lacey- reported it from his committee. It passed the house about ten days before adjournment. It passed the senate at 10 o'clock at night on the last Saturday of the session. The senate lobby was fall of mine operators at the time. A few minutes after it passed the senate was almost thrown into a panic by the report that the bill had been stolen in transit from the senate to the house. The secretary of the senate made a statement that he had placed the bill on the speaker's table while the speaker was temporarily absent. Representative Lacey and Senator Byrd and others, who had worked all winter to get it through, threatened immediate investigation, and the speaker was about to issne his warrants for the arrest of the coal operators who had been about the capital that evening, and for the arrest of other suspected parties. But before this was done the bill turned up mysteriously and it was sent to the engrossing room for enrollment, where it would seem the operators cot in their work. Of course the clerk w ho enrolled the bill left bis ear marks. His hand writing is there an unimpeachable evidence of his responsibility. For years the oppressed coal miners have been fizhting for this just law and to be defrauded from the fruit of their victory, which they pained through a reform legislature by the rascality or neglect of a clerk is enough to cause the workincmen of Indiana to hang the responsible party to a lamp post. This discovery will be a surprise to the miners, but it will jossibly be no surprise to some of the operators. REPUBLICAN OBSTRUCTIONISTS Will Refuse to Obey Gov. Wilson's Call For an Kxtra T.ecinlat 1t Session. Charleston, W. Va., March 20. It is reported here to-day that the republican members of the legislature have entered into an agreement, after a thorough cauvass of the political situation, to refuse to obey the call of Gov. Wilson for an extra session of that body, on the ground that he is not the lawful governor of the state, and is therefore without authority to issue such call. This determination has reached the ears of the democrats and hus kicked up an immense hubbub. While the democrats have one majority in the house, there are two in the minority in the senate, ar.d they are busy to-night arranging to combat this new movement of the opposition. It is likely, should republicans fail to respond, the gereeant-at-arms will be bent to arrest them at their homes, and this might easily precipitate trouble. A Rridefroom Disappears.
