J.,, Dec. 21.—United States Senator William J. Sewell died at his home here at 9:30 o’clock this morning. He suffered from diabetes, complicated with stomach. and heart trouble. Senator Sewell’s: illness had extended over a | period of fwo: years, but his condition was not_considered serious until about a year ago. His constant attention to the | dutles devdlying upon-him-in his official capacity repulted in 180y in a collapse. A trip to Eurgpe.was beneficial and he soon recovered sufficiently” to. resume his du- ties. Toward the end of the last session of | Congress he developed a complicatior of diseases, and acting on the advice of his physicians again visited various health resorts in Europe. Upon his return, his condition showing no improvement, Sen- to .Asheville, N. C., where he remaified two months. He re- rned to his home about four weeks ago and for a few days a slight improvement m his condition “was noted. Within the ast two weekS a succession of sinking spells greatly weskened him and com- pelled his physicians to abondon the hope ot prolonging his-Jife,” . When deatn came the ‘Senator’s family gathered at his ‘bedside. He had been unconscious for some time before the end. The funeral of Senator Sewell will take place on Tuesday next, but full arrange- ments will not be completed until to-mor- row. The place of interment will probably be in Colestown Cemetery, seven miles from here. The Senator will have a mili- v funeral, and a large detachment of National Guard of New Jersey will be ordered out. Services will be held at noon on Tuesday next at the Senator’s late residence, to be followed by services in St. Paul's Protestant Ebiscopal Church, of the vestry of which Senator Sewell was a member. Messages of condolence to the bereaved family came from all parts of the coun- try. Among them was a telegram from President Roosevelt, who had knpwn Senator Sewell for years. William Joyce Sewell was born in Ire- land in 1825 and came to this country at an early age. He engaged in mercantile pursuits and at the outbreak of the Civil War was commissioned as captain in the Fifth New Jersey Volunteers, He served during the war and was brevetted briga- dier general for distinguished services at Chancellorsville and major general for ices during the war. He was wounded at Chancellorsville and Gettys- burg. After the war he became connected with railroads in New Jersey. He was elected State Senator in 1872 and held numerous other offices. The Senator was in command of the National Guard of ew Jersey. At the outbreak of the war ainst Spain he was appointed major | general, but at the unanimous request of the Republican members of the Senate he did not taKe the fleld. He was first elected to the United States Senate in 1881 and was re-elected in 189 and_again in 1901, His term of service would have | expired on March 3, 1907.

The corrugated iron roof of Edward Katz's warehouse was torn to pieces and fragments of the roof were carried for over a hundred feet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—The War De- partment has received a cablegram from General Chaffee at Manila giving an ac- count of ihe engagement near Dapado, Samar, in which Company E, Ninth In- fantry, lost seven men killed and a num- ber wounded. The cablegram is as fol- lows: General H. Smith reports the following: During a scout near Dapado, Samar, December 24, Captain Francis H. Schoeffel, with a de- tachment of eighteen men of Company E, Ninth Infantry, was attacked by a large force of bo- lomen springing from thickets. A severe hand- to-hand fight ensued. The following casualties occurred: Killed—Sergeant John P. Swisher, Corporal James Gaughan, Privates John Maron, Frank McAndrew, Joseph A. Weippert, George Bed- ford. Wounded—Captain Francis H. Schoffel, slightly; Corporal John Russell, slightly; Pri- vates Daniel L. McPherson and George Clax- ton, severely: Arthur Bonnicastle, slightly. Oné other killed; one wounded. Names later. No proverty was lost. The enemy driven from the fleld and lost severely. Lang's de- tachment of Philippine scouts arrived soon aft- erward and assisted in caring for the wounded and removing the dead. The War Department is advised of the arrival of the transport Rosecrans at Manila on December 22 GXNARD SUGGESTS A WAY TO SETTLE SUGAR PROBLEM He Believes That the Government Should Pay a Bounty to Cuban Planters. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Henry T. Ox- nard, the head of the beet sugar trust, has presented another suggestion for the settlement of the Cuban sugar problem. Oxnard wants a commission created to investigate the condition of the Cuban sugar interests, with a view to paying a bounty to. Cuban planters on the sugar they produce. Oxnard thinks this would satisfy the Cuban sugar planters and save the necessity for granting any tariff concessions to Cuba in the way of recip- rocal {rade relations. On the Cuban sugar crop this year Oxnard would give a bounty that would take $7,000,000 from the Unifed States treasury to be given to foreign producers, with no benefit to any one in this couniry except two sugar trusts that are waging war against each other, but trying to keep up the price of sugar to consumers. . ool AR SUPERINTENDENT OF MINE THE VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY His Horribly finngled Body Is Found at the Bottom of a Deep Shaft.

Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.—Regarding the report that President Rcosevelt had se- lected General W. H. L. Barnes of San Francisco as successor to Hon. E. A. Buck, Minister to Japan, it is declared upon ‘excellent authority here that no change in that office is at present con- templated. It is understood at the State | Department that Minister Buck has not | intimated his desire to be relieved, and, | as his record as diplomatic officer is wholly satisfactory to the department and | to the administration it is not the pur- pose to disturb him in his present place. This is said to be the substance of in- formation imparted by Secretary Hay to | Senator Perkins, who has recently made i inquiries at the department relative to a | possible ?ange in the Japanese mission, | | having specially in view the chances for the appointment of General Barnes in case Mr. Buck were to retire. The name of General Barnes, in that event, would be presented to the consideration of the President, but the opportunity for filling such a desirable mission would bring to | the President many strongly backed ap- plications for the place from various quar- ters. Minister Buck, who was a member of | the Republican National Committee from i Georgia at the time of his appointment to Japan by President McKinley, has served at his present post since 1897. In well- informed circles here it is believed he may continue at Tokio indefinitely. i General Barnes was seen at the Cali- fornia Hotel last evening and said that he had read the article in an evening paper announcing his - appointment as Minister to Japan. “It proved very pleasant reading,” he said, “but I must say I can neither af- firm nor deny the story. I have not re- ceived word of any kind from Washing- ton regarding the appointment. If it were | tendered me I would surely accept it. I have seen dispatches from Washington stating that my name was mentioned. I have a slight acquaintance with President | Roosevelt and am very friendly with Sec- retary Hay. When the late President was visiting this city he practically assured me that I would be considered when the office was vacant. I would like to enter the diplomatic service, and were I ap- pointed I would esteem it a great honor.” Friends of State Senator Chester Rowell of Fresno are making an active fight to procure for him the Japanese mission. Rowell has the backing of United States Senator Bard. BATTLESHIP MISSOURI TO BE LAUNCHED TO-DAY Members of the Presildent’s Cabinet Leave to Witiness the Event. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Members of the President’s Cabinet, with their fami- lies and several bureau chiefs of the Navy Department, guests of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, ieft here for Newport News, Va., at 10 o’clock this evening by special train, to attead the launching of the battleship Missouri at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. A large number of Senators, members of the House and _others, including Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri and his daughter, Miss Marion Cockrell, who is to act as sponsor at the launching, sailed for Newport News to-night and will arrive there early in the morning. The Missourl is a sister ship of the Ohio and the Maine. Her contract price was $2,885,000. Her keel was laid on February 7. 1900, and on the latest construction re- port she is set down as 51 per cent com- pleted. The Missouri’s contract speed is eighteen knots an hour, so that she wiil rank next to the battleships of the Georgia class in speed. Her complement will be forty officers and 511 men.

SEATTLE, Dec. 27.—The grimmest story of marine disaster in all the history of the hungry North Pacific is expested by local marine men from Clallam Bay to- morrow. The fate of nine vessels, caught by the Christmas storm in that body of water which lies like a trap right in th path of southwest gales, is not knew: Old mariners fear that one or all may be lost. Sound tugs went on the lookout for these craft to-day. Some of these tugs are expected in port to-morrow. < These vessels are: American_ship Wii- | liam H.

All were seen at anchor in Clallam Bay Christmas day. None of them were known to have left before the closing of night cn the waters. Any .of their num caught In the bay during the storm could not have escaped—this is the opinion of marine men. Clallam Bay, with the rocks of Van- couver Island before it and to its rear the canyons of the Olympics so lying that they carry the blasts of a southwest wind afrect upon its exposed surface, has long been regarded with fear by mariners dur- ing such a storm as that of Christmas O placed are the mountain passes to ar b em e e and the west that they draw down a southwest gale upon this spot.

Catarrh is the short route to consump- tion, and the importance of early and ju- dicious treatment of catarrh, whether lo- cated in the head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized. The list of catarrh cures is as long as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered numerous and con- fusing, from sprays, inhalers, washes, ointments and salves to powders, liquids and tablets. The tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and the most effective, but with pearly all advertised catarrh reme- dies it is almost entirely a matter of guesswork as to what you are taking into your system, as the proprietors, while making all sorts of claims-as to what their medicines will do, always keep it a close secret as to what they are. The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, is largely because it not only cures catarrh i but because catarrh sufferers who use these | tablets know what they are taking into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of Red Gum, Blood Root and similar valuable and antiseptic ingre- dlents, and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mucous lining of the throat, nasal passages and whole respiratory tract. The cures that Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable, and the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach is of para- mount importance when it is remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of using secret catarrh remedies. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets meet with cor- their antiseptic character render them perfectly safe for the general public to use and their composition makes them a com- mon sense cure for all forms of catarrhal troubles. All druggists sell them at 50 cts. for full sized packages. = For Best Cloth at Moderate Prices JOEPOHEIN, THE TAILOR 1co Different Styles All Wool of Czolgosz.
