He had been in deli- - -sate health for a long time and the -end was not unexpected. He had been living in quiet retirement for : several years. He was one of Massa- ' ' chusetts' mostnoted menclassing high as a statesmen and orator. His gift of oratory was something wonderful. Ile was one of the principal orators at the dedication of the Washington iinonutnent , the other being Senator -John IW. Daniel of Virginia. . A link that bound the present to 1 ; time past has been brol en by the p deatli of the venerable Robert C. ! Winthrop , who connected the people ii of to-day not only with the early , days of the constitution and of the ' republic , but with the colonial days .as well. .lle was the lineal descendant - ant of Governor John 'Winthrop , and 1' ' of a family conspicuous in the making - ing of Massachusetts and Connecti- Winthrop , was born at N ew London , Coun. , a town which an ancestor aided in establishing. ; , Robert Charles Winthoop , whose I Y death is announced , was born in Boston - ton May 12 , 1809 , so that his earliest recollections were of the second war ' for independence. lie graduated at it I Harvard , as his ancestors in continuous - ous line had done , taking this degree It in 1828. He read law with Daniel Webster , whom he had known from childhood , and whom he had heard deliver his great address at Plymouth - mouth et Pock in 1520 as well as the ' ' memorable speech at Bunker Hill ! f in 152 . D Ir. 11ntlirop remained with t Mr. Webster during what he was accustomed - customed to speak of as "three of the ; busiest and proudest years of Web- ster's life. " The student followed the political teachings of the master u and when a young man became a > ' conspicuous Massachusetts Whig. He was elected to the legislature in 1831 , remained in that body for sit years 1 and serving as speaker in 1838 , 1839 and 1540. q In 1840 Mr. Winthrop was elected to congress and served ten years. Here he was again associated with Webster - ster , and served one term as speaker )1 ) of the house. In 1851 Mr. Winthrop was appointed by tlmc governor to succeed Mr. Webster - ster in the senate of the United State , when the latter became secretary - tary of state under President Fill- more. With the increasing violence of the agitation of the slavery ques tion , Dlr. Winthrop found himself unable - able to satisfy the extremists on either side. He refused to follow his old political chief and was opposed to Dlr. Webster's position in the famous - mousth of March speech , and himself - self voted against the fugitive slave law , yet he did not come up to the re- 1 quiretnents of the Free boilers , and was defeated for governor and for United States senator. These defeats ? + were by very. narrow margins , but } they led to his retirement from public , life. j life.Mr. Mr. Winthrop was a man of fortune , able to follow the life he preferred i and he devoted the more than forty ' years remaining to him to scholarship - ship , literature and philanthropy. He adhered as a member to the Whig 1 party while he lived , but became known to the country in other characters - acters than a politician or a statesman - man , but principally as a great his. : torical orator.

Senator Sherman of Ohio writes he is thoroughly committed tothe , construction - tion of the Nicaraguan canal and emphasizes the reliort made to the senate in favor of government aid. Senator Walsh of Georgia , says the Nicaraguan canal is the greatest enterprise - terpriso now before the business world. Ho believes it should be built and controlled by the United States government ; that it would open new markets for our products from the field , the mine and the factory , and would enable merica to compete successfully wi h European nations for the trade of the Spanish-American countries and he countries of the Orient Hon.

BOOKMAKERS IN A BOX. itn East St. Louis Justice Holds That Lost Money May Be Recovered. ST. Loris , Mo. , Nov. 16.-In Justice James A. 11'yatt's court in East St. Louis , H. E. Barnes sued for the recovery - covery of $184 lost at the East Side race track during October. When the case was tried he produced losing tickets representing the amount he claimed to have lost , and succeeded in convincing the judge of the truth of his statement. Judge Wyatt said that his decision in favor of Barnes was strictly in compliance with the state statute governing such cases , which defined clearly that a person , upon proving that he had lost an amount equal to or more than $10 upon any gambling device whatever , could obtain the full amount lost from the parties receiving - ing the same and if not from them from the lessees or owners of the property upon which such games were conducted. A similar case has been comp-o- mised by the track people , but this will be carried up. Confirmation of the decision will end racing across the river from here. THE COLOR LINE IN A CLUB. Chicago's Women's Assoclation May Be Disrupted Over Mrs. Williams. CIIICAGo , Nov. 16.-The Women's club , after a stormy session , to-day refused to admit to membership the noted colored lecturer , Mrs. Fanny B. Williams. Her application had been considered at severalsecret ses- sions. A strong faction , led by Mrs Charles Henrotin , wife of the millionaire - aire broker , strongly opposed the drawing of the color line , and to day's action is likely , it is thought , to disrupt the organization. Reconsideration - eration is not improbable , and should' Mrs. Williams be admitted to the club the names of several other leading colored women will be pressed for membership.

' RAID A SECURITIES IN BAD ODOR AMONG EUROPEAN - AN INVESTORS. ' What Is Set Forth in the Report of Counsel - sel General Mason-American Railtvay Securities Returned and their Proceeds Invested In Less Remunerative Ventures - tures Because of the Dishonest Management - agement of Railroad Companies In this Country. United States Rail + vnys. WASALiorox , Noy. 17.-Frank H. Mason , United States consul general at Frankfort , in a special report to the state" department , states that American railway securities have fallen into bad odor in Germany and' endeavors to point out the reasons therefor and suggest measures forre- habilitating them in the financial world. He says that in Frankfort , which was-the first European money market to accept United States bonds during the dark days of- the civil war and where American investments had been popular , not only are new securities - curities refused because of American origin , but railroad stocks and bonds had , for years been . returned to America and their proceeds invested in less remunerative Prussian consols and other standard securities backed by government creditaud supervision. The consul general says : "The cloud' ' which overshadows American railway securities in Germany has been caused mainly by the revelations of the past two years concerning the management of several leading railway - way properties. German investors were heavy losers and their losses served to call the attention of time people and press more sharply than ever before to time usurpation of power and evasions of responsibility which , it is claimed , have become so frequent in American railway management. " "European bondg and shareholders have been informed , " the report continues - tinues , 'that the power of the president - dent and directors in many important railway companies has become practically - tically omnipotent and irresponsible. They have sent over protests and proxies to be used at elections for the purpose of wrestling the control' of corporate properties from the hands of officers who were said to be abusing their trusts and they have seen these and every other effort toward - ward a change easily and hopelessly defeated. That the accounts of an entire railway system may be falsified - fied and its securities sustained in the market by fictitious statements of earnings and concealment of re- bates-all of which is believed here- are discoveries of eomnpratively recent date. "Until some general measure can be adopted and enforced , and foreign investors can have the assurance asked for that the published statements of American , railway companies are correct - rect and true , and that such malad- ministration , as has been revealed i n the affairs of certain systems , is no longer possible , all such investments in United States securities will be more or less discredited , and county , municipal and industrial securities of American origin will suffer. " CHINA AND JAPAN. The Mediation to Be Looked Into By Uncle Sam. WASHINGTON Nov. 17.-llepresen ta- tive Bellamy Storer , of the committee - tee on foreign affairs of time house of representatives , intends presenting to congress when it reassembles , a resolution of inquiry as to the action of Secretary Gresham in suggesting to China and Japan that this country act as mediator in the settlement of the present war. Mr. Storer is now making a careful examination of the subject with a view to taking the initial steps. The resolutions when drawn will request the secretary of state to transmit to congress all correspondence on the subject , not incompatible with the public service. They will ask for information as to what departure , if any , from time traditional - ditional policy of the government as embodied in the Monroe doctrine , is contemplated by the executive branch in becoming a factor in Asiatic en- tanglements. In examining the treaty of IS5S , between China and the United States , under which the government has suggested - gested its willingness to mediate , Mr. Storer says the language does not contemplate - template mediation by the president or executive branch alone. It recites in substance that the United States will exercise their good offices in case any nation acts unjustly or oppressively - pressively against China. This , Mr. Storer points out , suggests the good offices of the United States , but not of the president ; so it would be proper , and perhaps essential , that the congressional branch of the government - ernment should act in case such good offices are to be exercised. Mr. Storer says that any action he takes will be on conservative lines , as he desires to make his inquiry for information - formation rather than criticism until the facts are presented. A Wronged Woman's Vengeance. STOCKTO , Cal. , Nov. 17.-Frank Quinn , a well known young man of this city , was shot and killed yesterday - day in a lodging house by Edith Elder , who subsequently shot herself in the right side , but will recover.

NEW ORLEANS , La. , Nov. I4.-The afternoon session of the Knights of Labor convention convened "at 2 o'clock and adjourned at 5:30. After some preliminary business , General Master Workman Sovereign delivered his annual address , which was an exhaustive and elaborate resume of the work of the order from its incipiency - iency , lie attributed the decreased membership of the order to the depression - pression in business circles , prevalent bankruptcy , low wages and forced idleness of laboring classes. Referring to the A. R. U. affiliations , he advised a coalition with this as well as all labor organizations. His resume of the Pullman strike termi nated in severe criticism of Major General John M. Schofield and the recommendations of .that of- fiver for' an inersase of the army , together with time action - tion of "Chicago's millionaire aristocracy - tocracy , who were permitted to present - sent a stand of colors to the Fifteenth infantry , " which was indication of an "uneasy desire to subjugate labor through the military powers of the nation. " He urged that the assembly take strong action against an increase. of time mnilftary force of the nation and that they advocate a decrease ilt the regular army and the abolition of the state militia. WHAT IT MAY DO. The Short Democratic Congress Will try to Do Many Things. WASHINGTON , Nov. 17.-Wlmile prospects - pects of legislation during time closing session of this congress are not bright , the Democrats have a very ambitious program. Not to mention silver or the pop-gun tariff bills , much important legislation will be at- tempted.

Any new scheme of finance is Likely to meet with strong. opposition in the senate , where it is just possible the silver men may have a majority. A HUSBAND'S VENGEANCE.

NO GOLD BEING SENT HERE. AiShipment From England lntcrhtied for Canada. NEW Yoics , Nov. 1.-It is generally believed in banking circles that 200- 000 consigned , to the bank .of British North America is for Canadian account - count and has no connection with the recent government bond issue. Foreign bankers characterize the rumors of gold imports at this time as preposterous and say that to import gold would be equivalent to selling demand exchange 3d per pound below the prevailing rate ; that the purchasers - ers of bonds for foreign account can find a ready market for their bills owing to the ow price of exportable commodities nd time excellent demand - mand from remitters , and that there is no need of any such operation as gold imports being made unless the price of exchange shall decline ma- terally.
