Irish, PATAL RESULT OF A SEVERE COLD—HIS LAST HOURS— A BRI#F SKETCH OF HIS CAREER Col. O. H. Irish, chief of the Treasury bureau of engraving and printing, died this morning at 8.50 o'clock, at his residence,No.1907 Harewood avenue, Le Droit park. He was In his fifty-third-year, was robust and generally healthy,and his sudden death was a shock to his friends and the whole commu- nity. A week ago last Wednesday he contracted a severe cold, {rom a draught in his office in the bu- Teau of engraving and printing. He left the bu- reau that diy, sayiog he was going home. where he would probably remain several days, in order to nurse his cold. He went to bed, thinking that after careful treatment he would soon be able to resume his duties, He did not seem to Improve as, he or his friends expected, and within jthe past few days a complication ‘of disorders set in, which last night took the direction of the heart, and this morning he expired as stated above, the immediate cause of his death being paralysis of the heart, The members of his family present at the time of his death were his wife, his younger daughter (fourteen or fifteen years of age) and his joung son, a boy of ten or eleven years of age. r. Stearns, the family physican, and another physician Were also present. Col. Irish’s other laughter, Miss Annie, is a professor at the unl- versity at Wooster, Ohio, where she now 1s She has been summoned home by telegraph. Nothing as yet_has been determined as tothe funeral ar- rangements, but the remains will douDtless buried here. As soon as the news of his death reached the bureau of engraving and printing this morning, the Secretary of the Treasury was no- tied of the sad occurrence. Col. Irish was a native of New York atate, but early In his life he moved to Erie, Pa., where he received his education. Tn 1856 he went to Nebraska and looked over the country, and in the following year he moved there. In 1899 he became editor and proprietor of the Datly and Weekly Press ot Nebraska city. He was a delegate from Nebraska to the republican convention which nominated President Lincoln. In 180% he was ap- inted Indian Agent in Nebraska, and in 1864 he caine superintendent of Indian affairs in Utah, Which position he occupied for nearly two years. He was appointed consul at Dresden in 1866, and remained there three years. He resigned this tion and again up his residence in Ne- raska, resuniing the duties of editor of his jour- nal, which had been run in hisname. He was also president of tht Otoe County National Bank, of Nebraska city. He was a prominent in olitics in Nebraska, and could probably Imve en elected Senator, but believing others better entitled to the vosition he never made gny effort to optain it.

After the reading of the journal, the House wen t into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows in the chair) on the tarff bill. Mr. Bland criticised the action of the dominant, party in the House for tts delay in bringing in a tariff bill and in attempting to choke the pending measure through the House and Senate without que consideration, when even its friends and ad- vocates were unable to tell what effect it would have upon the industries of the country and the Tevenues of the government, It had been whis- pered around that unless this Congress passed this or a similar bill the President. would call an extra session. That was the threat which was held over this Congress to prevent a due consider- ation of the subject, Mr. Kelley.—Has the gentleman any authority for that statement? Mr. Bland.—I have seen It so stated In the public press. Mr. Kelley.—Oh!_ yes. Mr. Reagan, of Texas.—It was so stated to me by a Senator, and by two other Senators who had It trom the Prestdent. Mr. Kelley.—I don’t think that the President Proposes to offer a bribe to the democratic party to Prevent legislation on this subject. Mr. Bland, passing to a consideration of the bill, sald that if it was the best measure this Congress could draft, any parliamentary rules resorted to for its defeat would be justifiable, and, indeed, de- manded D¥ the people who had elected other men to consi.ler the Subject. ‘The corridors and gal- leries of the Capitol swarmed with the agents of milillonaires and monopolists urging the passage of is bill, Which meantdeath to the agricultural interests of the country; and according to the hewspapers, the lobbyists were thicker in Wash- ington this session than they ever aad been before. Mr. Russel belfeved that the Dill would affect advantageously the manufacturing, mining and agricultural industry of thecountry.

Mr. Vance ‘was instructed to prepare a bill, and he will study the subject before doing so, with the view of sub- mitting @ measure that will fully meet the case, by requiring that people shall have the accommo- dations for which they pay. He will, in connec- ton with the subject, consider the plan adopted in Brooklyn, of requiting that every car shall have a conductor as well as adriver. This plan drives the bobtall cars off the tracks, as when compelled to provide a conductor for each car it is economy for the companies to use the large sized cars. THE LAW AS TO TELEGRAPH POLES.

He said npn G “I think and hope this will Be done, and that the forest of poles now disfiguring the city will be removed.” CHANGE OF ROUTE. The Senate District committee had a special meeting to-day, and considered the bill to allow te Washington and Atlantic raflroad to enter the District. Originally the bill provided that the Toad might come down Rock creek, but this was objectionable, and it was defeated. ‘The company then changed their route so as to enter parallel with the Baltimore and Potomac road, and it 18 the bill thus changed which was considered to- day, but no action was taken upon it.
