I have ac- cepted; that fs all there is to say about the matter.” In these words ex-Representative James Wilson urnounced, last night at Des Moines, Iowa, his acceptance of the agri- cultural portfolto tendered him by Presi- dent-elect McKintey. James Wilson was born at Ayrshire, Scot- lend, August 16, 1835, came to America in 181, received a Nberal education, became a farmer, was a member of the lowa state caker ate third on legislature from 1867 to 1873, and s two sessions; he was a regent of the University; was elected to the Forty and Forty-fourth Congresses, the committees on agriculture serving and claims. He ran for the Forty-eighth © gress, but his seat was successfully tested. He has always been inter agricultural pursuits, and is now director of the Iowa staie agricultural experiment station The close of his last term in Congress was marked by a dramatte incident. His seat was contested by a democrat, and the republicans were flibustering on’ the last day of the session to prevent the democrats from unseating him. There was a bill on the calendar to pen- sion Gen. Grant, who was then at the point of death, but it could not be brought up until the contest over the seat had been dis- Posed of. Mr. Wilson appealed to the republicans to let the democrats unseat him and thus make way for Gen. Grant's bill, and this was done. —_1>—— The Earl of Ninncull of England ts dead.
