Rochefort in handing the sword to Mr. Kruger spoke of the heroism of the Boers and expressed the hope that “the ndicate of thrones” will some day be erthrown by “a syndicate of the peo- ple.” During the day a thousand students formed in line, preceded by a banner, the whole headed by a band. They carried the French and Boer colors, and the stu- dents presented to Mr. Kruger a neat ad- dress. They were loudly cheered on their way to the Hotel Scribe.

It fs understood that the powers are now discussing the question of demanding the execution of Prince Tuan alone and the degradation of other Boxer leaders and sympathizers. In view of these lat- est developments there is a feeling in of- fictal circles that after all China may emerge from her present dangerous situa. tion without suffering the loss of terri- tory. It was feared that because of the Arglo-German agreement Great Britain | would support Germany’'s vengeance policy. The fact that Japan had in- dorsed the agreement seemed to make it certain that the three powers would pur- sue an identical course and make a set- tlement of the Chinese trouble without further loss of territory impossible. Japan, however, has taken a stand with the powers anxious for prompt settlement. Lord Salisbury also threw the welght of his influence on the side of early peace, leaving Germany alone as the advocate of a policy which would have the one re- sult of renewing strife between China and the powers.

TO ETERNAL TWO MONT Loving Relatives Wa SENATOR DAVIS PASSES REST AFTER HS’ SUFFERING tch Devotedly by the Bedside of the Dying Statesman as His Brilliant Career Slowly Draws to a Close. o+ THE LATE SENATOR CUSHMAN KELLOGG DAVIS, CHAIRMAN OF 1 THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS, WHO DIED YES- 1 TERDAY AFTER TWO MONTHS OF SUFFERING. - T. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 27.—Senator Cushman Kellogg Davis, chair- man of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, dled at his home in this city to-night at | 8:40 o’clock. He had suffered greatly dur- ing two months of siekness and gradually | | sank away, being unconscious for several hours before death, and, so far as could be known, suffered no pain. Yesterday, | | apprectating the approach of the end, Mrs. | Davis sent for Venerable T. H. M. Vil liers Appleby, archdeacon of the Prot | ant Eptseopal diceese of Minnesota, and Rev. Theadore Sedzwick. .rector of the Church of St. John the Evangelist An attempt had been made to secure the at- tendance of Bishop Whipple. but the Bishop was in Florida. Senator Davis was | for a time sufficiently rational to express his grateful appreciation of the clergy- men’s ministrations. | The kidney affection which developed Quring his early fliness refused to yield | to treatment and resulted in death. Grouped about the deathbed were Sen- ator Davis' immediate family, his devoted | wife, his aged father, Major H. H. Davis, | and his two sisters, Mrs. Morford and | Mrs. Bartlett Tripp. His law partner, C. | A. Verance, and his wife were also pres- i ent. as well as the doctors and nurses. The | family had heen prepared for the end | | since the first sinking spell, which oec- | curred last Friday night, and all have been where they could be summoned at a | moment’s notice. The Senator had been | in a comatose state during the day. Death | came almost imperceptibly and the closing | scene was marked with but little incident. | | | The campalgn Issue was then new, being whether the State could control the charges of rallroads. Governor Davis as- serted this right and such legislation was enacted and enforced during his term of | office. During a protracted Senatorfal contest at that session Governor Davls was one of the candidates, but Chiet Jus- tice McMillan was finally elected. It was at this time that the great grasshopper plague devastated Southwestern Minne- sota, and Governor Davis raised over $100 - 000 in money besides supplies for the vic- tims of the plague. Governor Davis declined a renomination and resumed the practice of law. Hi cessor, Governor Pillsbury, retained to argue In the United States Supreme Court the case of the State of Wisconsin against the city of Duluth and the State of Minnesota to restrain the opening of the present ship canal, through which all the commerce of that port now passes. Mr. Davis won the suft for Minnesota. He continued in the practice of law until 1887, also giving considerable attention to politics. In 1384 he headed the Blaine dele- gation to Chicago, where he made one of the nominating speeches for that candi- date. During 1885 many of the State news- papers advocated his election as United States Senator, and when the Legislature of 1557 met Senator McMillan withdrew as a candidate for re-election and Mr. Davis received every vote. Mr. Davis' first chairmanship of the Senate was of the Committee on Pensions, which he held throughout his first term. He was the author of the pension law of suc- His last conscious utterance was the ex- |13, which terminated the demands for pression of a wish to live; not for the sake | excessive pension legislation and also sat- | of life itself, but because he believed his | jsfied the old soldiers.

Y., June | | 16, 1838. In that year his parents moved to Waukesha, Wis.,, where his father | | farmed until 1550. After attending the | common schools young Dav! pent three | | years in Carroll College, at ‘Waukesha, | preparing himself for the University of | Michigan, from which he graduated in 1857. During his boyhood he held for some time a position as telegraph operator in what is now a suburb of Milwaukee. Af- ter his graduation he entered the law of- fice of Alexander Randall, afterward war Governor of Wisconsin. In 1860 Mr. Davis began the practice of law and also took an active part in the campaign resulting in the election of Lincoln. Two years later, war having comfé, he closed his law office to enlist in the volunteer army. He served for two years in the army of the Tennessee in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ar- kansas and Mississippi, part of the time on staff duty. When in 1864 broken health compelled his retirement he was first leutenant of Company B, Twenty-elghth ‘Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. Going to St. Paul he formed a law part- nership with his army chief, General W. A. Gorman, ex-Governor of Minnesota Territory. In 1868 he was elected to the State Legislature and two years later was appointed United States District Attor- ney, serving flve years in that position. In 1873, by & majority of one vote, he was nominated by the Republicans for Gov- ertor and elected by a majority of 54%6. peech in the Senate on that subject. As a student and an authority on inter- national law Senator Davis furnished briefs to President Harrison and Secretary of State Blaine on the Chilean dispute and the Bering Sea controversy. In 1893 the Republican legislative caucus voted in favor of the re-election of Sen- ator Davis, but before the Legislatura voted on the Senatorship various influ- ences intervened and he was finally elect- ed by a majority of one, although the Re- publicans had severteen on joint ballot. At the beginning of his second term Senator Davis was placed on the commit- tec on Foreign Relations, and when Sen- ator Sherman was transferred to the Cab- inet of President McKinley Senator Davis was placed at the head of that important committee. In 1806-% many friends of the Senator pressed his name for the Presidential nomthation, but before the State conven- tion to name delegates met he withdrew, and McKinley delegates were sent from Minnesota. During the past four years Senator Davis’ position as chairman of tha Foreign Relations Committee of the Sen- ate, and later one of the Paris Peace Com- missioners, have kept him prominently be- fore the public of all nations. He was re- elected without opposition in 1899 for nis third term. Senator Davis has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Laura Bowman, and after she had secured a divorce from him he married in 1880 Miss Anna Mal- colm Agnew. . Marked Impression on CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 21.—The re- lations between the United States Govern- ment and the Sublime Porte are becom- ing acute.

The Interview, however, was barren of result. While the Porte outwardlr persists in the attitude it has assumed regarding the question of grarting an exequatur to the United States Consul at Harpoot, there is reason to belleve the dispatch of tha battleship Kentucky to Smyrna has mada a marked impression in official circles.
