United States commis sioner of patents, who had been ill at Plneywoods hotel there for several weeks, died at 3:16 yesterday after noon. The end was peaceful and when It came his wife and children were at his bedside. Ho came here to recu perate from at attack of pneumonia, and recovered rapidly until two weeks ago, when he suffered from uremic convulsions. From that relapy he never recovered. His body wul he sent to Washington tomorrow, Benjamin Butterworth was what Is known as a "birthright Quaker.” Those who knew him best during his busy career are unanimous In suying of him: "His dally life was as exem plary of the tenets of that good, old faith as that of any public official could he." He was born In Warren county. O., October 22, 1837, was a member of the slate senate of Ohio, from Warren and u’.id Butler counties In 1873-4. Mr. Butterworth was elected a represent ative In congress of the First Ohio dis trict, Including the city of Cincinnati, to the Forty-sixth. Forty-seventh, Forty-ninth. Fiftieth atn» Fifty-first congresses. From then until uppolnt t 1 to the position he occupied at his death he devoted most of ins time to the practice of law, especially patent law. In this city. "lien" Butterworth, as he has al ways been host known, spent his earlier years round about Batnevllle and Fos ter's Crossing the lutter a little sta tion on the Miami railroad. His father was William Butterworth and . Is mother a Linton, a family noted throughout the entire line for their keenness of Intellect, powers of per cep;imi anu serengm in speccn aim debate, noth parents were of Quaker ancestry. Major Hutterworth’s keen Intellect and remarkable power* of perception were inherited from Ills mother. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—In Wash ington no lens than In his native state Major Butterworth njoyed a wiu» ac quaintance and great pop i' ,' y. und the news of his death, while by no means unexpected, will cause general Horrow here. No public man prob ably had a larger circle of friends at the capitol. He contracted Ills fatal illness while on the slump In the late Ohio campaign. No information has been received us to the time or place of the funeral. I'lit If or in nf |h«> ropiillula. ST. LOUIS.

Avoiding U'nbnn Itelmte. WASHINGTON. Jan. 15 —The House managers derided not to proceed with the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation yesterday, but to give the day for the consider ation of private bills. This was doubt less done to avert the possibility of precipitating u sensational Cuban de bate during the consideration of- the appropriation bill. Inflammatory speeches during the present critical state of affairs In Havana would, the conservative leaders believe, be par ticularly unfortunate. When the house adjourned Thursday night the amendment to the agricul tural appropriation bill providing for the publication of another edition of the "Horse Book" wns pending. Yes terday the friends of the amendment compromised with the appropriations committee by agreeing to a reduction of the number to be printed from 000 to 75,000. As amended the Llll whs passed. The resolution accepting the Invi tation of the government of Norway to participate In the International Fisheries exposition at Bergen from May to September, 1S9», was called up by Mr, Simpkins (rep.. Maas.). Mr. Cannon, chairman if the appiopriatlon committee, said he thought on the ex position Question congress was running wild. We had had domestic exposi tions at Philadelphia, Chicago, New OrlfiiriM (Mn.-'lntinti I .miInvi 1 !r* At Inn ta and Nashville, and were now about to have one at Omaha. Abroad we had participated in the expositions a; Vienna, Paris, Berlin and Brussels. The anxiety of would-be commissioners to have the honor and gl ry cf our country represented at these foreign expositions was agonizing. Now here came this exposition at Bergen. Twenty thousand dollars to be apprr priated now. If this resolution parsed con gress would he called upon to foot the hill for a deficiency of *2o,000. He gave it as his deliberate judgment that th<» interests of the United States did not rcuulre our participation In this expo sition. If we did our du'y by the Paris exposition that would be enough. After some transaction of some rou tine business in the senate yesterday, Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, presented the following joint resolution propos ing an amendment to . e constitution That the following article be pro posed to the legislatures of the several states as nn amendment to the con otluition of tlte Unied Sates: The term cf office of the preVdmt and of the Fifty-sixth congress snail continue until the 30th doy of April, in the year 1899. at noon. The senators whose existing term would otherwise expire on tiic 4th doy of March, In the year 1899, or thereafter, shall continue in office until noon < f the 30th day of April, succeeding rucli expiration: and the 30th clay of April, at noon, shall thereafter be substituted for the 4th of March as the commencement and termination of the official term of the president, vice preside nt, senators and representatives in congress. The resolution was referred to the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania, offered the following resolution, which was re ferred to the committee on Indian af fairs: Resolved. That the secretary of the interior shall be and is hereby instruct ed to investigate the facts attending the recent alleged atrocious burning to death of iwo Seminole Indians by a mob in Oklahoma Territory and make report thereon to congress. Tha* the Burn of J2.-j.000, or «o much thereof r.s may be necessary, is herebv appro priated out of any money in the treas ury not otherwise appropriated for the investigation, apprehension and pun ishment of the guilty persons, to be expeded under the direction of the secretary of the interior.

Mlri'Me of thn Kimil Populists Form n >rw Organisation. ST. I/)UIS, Jan. J5.—A new party was born in the conference of the populists and named the People's purty. The People's party proposes to go it alone. It has severed all connection with the national populist committee and made all arrangements for admin istering Its own estate without the aid or advice of uny outside party. With a few exceptions, the delegates declared themselves unequivocally In favor of going It alone In the future. The referendum system was most highly complimented Hnd recommend ed for use among the middle of the readers In settling matters of national Importance to the order, and there was a practical agreement nmong the dele gates that a national presidential con vention should be held this year. There was lengthy discussion, and It was not until u late hour that the pro eeedure for future action was agreed upon. Finally a report was adopted as follows In part: To the People of the United Htates: The fusion movement consummated at St. Louts in July, lk!*G, and the treat ment of our candidate for vice presi dent in the campaign that followed, gave rise to such dissension among the j rank and llle of the People's party as ! to threaten the absolute dlsmenber ment of the only political organization ; honestly contending for the social and political rights of the laboring and ! producing classes of the country. It has been the purpose always of j the committee to be courteous to the j national committee, and our supreme desire has been at all times to pro mote a harmonious co-operation with said committee, that factional differ ences might be obliterated, our party prestige regained and our organization restored to Its once splendid estate. This comm' tee feels confident of It* ability to show that ll Is no fault of ours that I he national commltte*' Is nut present as a body to-day. but It does not choose to waste valuable time In wangling ovep question* of official etiquette. We avow It to be our sincere pur pose now. as ever heretofore, lo pro mote In very hnorable way the reform movement on true populist lines, and we deem the Issues too momentous and tlie dangers threatening freo govern ment loo great to allow us to pau.ee to consider personal grievances or af fronts, or to permit wounded dignity, res. or imaginary, lo overshadow pa il lot lc duties. I cider prdeent conditions our ,be loved organization la slowly but sure ly disintegrating and c ur comrades are clamorous for aggressive action. Having In vain importuned those who assumed to be our superiors 10 permit us to aid them In the grand work of reorganizing the People's party, that it may accomplish Its glor ious mission, wo now appeal to the people, the true eouce of all political power. i he referendumccimmttteeappolnted ! is as follows: Messrs. Dixon, of Mis souri. Tracey, of Texas. Reynolds, of ' Illinois, Malinger, of Indiana, and Mc Gregor, of Georgia. number of rulfs were adopted for the government of the national organ ization committee, among them a rule that the national organization com mittee shall submit to a vote of the People’s party any proposition when petitioned to do so by not less than in.000 members rf the party. On the adjournment, c f the organiza tion committee the members of the national committee present met at the GaClede hotel and adapted the; follow ing resolution: Resolved, That we. the members of ! i lit* n'lfional f-ommltlpfi in. ! dorse the action taken by the organiza tion committee and recommend that Its provisions be carried Into < (Tect. be : lieving that such action will harmo nize all differences in the party. There were seventy-four members of the committee represented by the members present or hv proxies and let ters, and favored a joint mfeting of the national committee and organization committee in the spring. Forty states were represented at the meeting. Ncimlor PI ft iif•«» to COLUMBUS, O.. Jan. 15.—Senator Hanna has gone to his home at Cleve land. where he will remain over Sun 1 day.
