Niw : Yontc , Feb. 0. In front of No. 8
Governor's Island an orderly this afternoon
was pacing to and fro. It was the residence
of Major-General Wlulleld Scott Hancock ,
who died therein at 3.M : o'clock. If the gen
eral had lived until the Mth day of the pres
ent month ho would have completed Ids
sixty-second year , having been born In Nor-
rlstown ( Pa , ) , February U , 1824. In u second
end story front room , furnished witli soldier
like simplicity , lay the remains of a general
who , as the guard remarked , led his troops
to more battles than any of his military con
temporaries.
The death of General Hancock was not
merely a surprise to Ids family it was a
Shock to them as to his friends. Twenty
days ago ho started on business connected
with the department of the Atlantic to Phila
delphia , where ho remained two days , and
then proceeded to Washington , where ho had
business. In Washington a boll developed
Itself on thu bajk of Ids neck. It was lanced
January BO , and as the general was much in
convenienced by Us presence , lie returned to
Now Yoik several days sooner than de
signed. During the first week of February
tlio boll developed Into a malignant car
buncle , .which suppurated constantly and
prevented rest or sleep. Dr. Jancway was
called , and It was not until marked weakness
resulted from the presence ol the carbuncle
the surgeon discovered General Hancock suf
fering from diabetes and kidney trouble. Dr.
Janoway called lu consultation Dr. Souther-
land , medical director of the department ,
and Dr. A. M. Stimson of New Yoik. The
medical men concluded tlio ease was assum
ing a very serious form on Monday.
At 10 o'clock Monday night , before going
uway , Dr. Jaiieway found the patient in
coed spirits and fable to assist himself and
left lIm | apparently improved. At 0:45 : this
moriiingMrs. Hancock dispatched an orderly
for Dr. Jancway as the general was sinking
rapidly. The doctor came speedily and
found tlio general in a eoniatoso .state , with
feeble pulse and all premonitory syriptoms
of death present , llo summoned tlio two
physicians alieady named. Hypodermic
injections of brandy and other , and carbon
ate of ammonia and brandy , were admlnis-
ts.-cd. These , however , only alleviated the
hiitl'oriiig of tlio boldier , who gradually sunk
away until death was touched at":5l : p. m. ,
as stated. When death caino the three phy
sicians and the hospital steward wore the
only persons present. 'Mrs. Hancock was
then in an adjoining room.
The news of the general's death had been
Hashed abroad by wire but a Ittllo while
when messages of condolence began coming
to the Island. Among them is thufollowing :
WASHINGTON , Feb. 0. Mrs. General TV B.
Hancock : 1 have this'momciit heard of the
death of Generarilancock and wish to ex
press to you , my dear madam , my deep sym
pathy and condolence. The army has lost a
very distinguished and faithful officer and
the country one of its best citizens.
P. ll.SiiiniiiAN ,
Lieutenant General.
So far as could bo learned no delinlte ar
rangements for tlio funeral had been agreed
upon up to a late hour to-night. It was
stated by ono of. the statf officers that Mrs.
llaneoek had expressed herself as being op
posed to a military funeral ; that it was her
desire that the funeral arrangements be as
simple and unostentatious as possible. It Is
also said that Mrs. Hancock is opposed to
having tlio body embalmed and to
Its lying In state. In con verna
tion with ono of the officers to
night , that gentleman stated that in all proba
bility only Immediate relatives and the most
intimate friends would bo invited to attend
the' obsequies and that only eight or ten
officers ot his Immediate stall' and a small
detachment of soldiers would accompany the
remains to tlio grave.
Throughout this city to-night , wherever
people were grouped , the fact of General
Hancock's death was the subject of com
ment , and Its announcement where not
known a challenge to surprise. The death ,
though occuirlng late , was announced in
some of the ovuilng papers , and thus thu
imusos were made aware of the fact , while at
the clubs and hotels the topic bore some
meagre details that served lor tlio text of
comment , anecdote and reminiscences. Tlio
little steam cutter belonging to the govern
ment , which' piles between the Mattery wall
and Governor s Island , was kept very busy
during this evening. Many military men
visited Governor's Island to tender their
services to the olllcers stationed there or to
otfer condolence to the bereaved family.

The announcement of the death of Cienend
JlatK'ock was rccelvvd hero this afternoon
with universal surprise and regret. Two
weeks ago General Haiicock was hero and
uvel veil marked attention In social as well
us military elide * , and this fact caused many
persons to doubt the cone.ctnc.ss of the report
ot his sudden death. It.is . a sincular coinci
dence that Judge Kelley prcpaicd a bill yes
terday wli'.ch ' ho Intended to introduce c\\ \
Monday next , providing for the revival of
the grades of general and lieutenant general ,
In which the president Is authorized to ap
point Sheridan general and Hancock lieu
tenant general , Judge Kelley said to-night
that he was moved to prepare this bill mainly
for the reason that General Hancock will
retire from active service on account of ago
in February , 1SS3 , that ho was a gallant sol
dier who deserved special rccocnltlon for his
distinguished services , and that It would bo a
graceful tribute for concress to revive the
grade of lieutenant general , that it might be
conferred on Hancock upon tlio cvo of Ids re
tirement from the army. Judge Kelley ex
pressed great regret that Hancock was pre
maturely-cut on" before he could bo given tills
additional evidence of the esteem In which
he was held by the country , because the
judge was convinced that this bill would
have received the almost unanimous vote of
the house.
The death of Usncral llainock and the re
tirement of General Pope next month will
necessitate the appointment of two now
major generals to fill tlio vacancies thus oc
casioned. Howard and Terry stand at the
head of the brigadiers , and arc pretty certain
to be advanced. The vacancies that will bo
caused by the advancement of these two
olllcers In the rank of brigadier generals will
cause an interesting contest among the
friends of the eligible colonels.
The gossips are at work In the prediction
of tlio changes which will soon bo made.
Major Genera ! Shcolleld will undoubtedly be
ordered to Governor's Island , as General
Pope will be relieved on Match 10. This will
leaVe two vacancies in the list of major gen
erals. President Cleveland will without
doubt appoint lirlgadicr Generals O. O.
Howard and A. 11. Terry , as they are
the two ranking brigadiers. These
promotions will leave two vacancies in the
roster of brigadier generals. There are
twenty-live colonels of Infantry , ten of cav
alry and live ot artillery from whom the
president may make his selections. It lias
never been the practice to pay any attention
to the lineal rank of colonels hi selecting
brigadiers , and Piesldent Cleveland will
piobably chose the two officers who may best
suit his own ideas. It is conceded in army
circles , however , that Colonel Thomas 11.
linger of the Eighteenth Infantry , now com
manding the school ol'application at Foil
Leavcnworth will be one of the now briga
diers.

he union lines to Gulp's Hill , where ho was
enabled to check the enemy's further ad
vance. Perceiving Its advantages. General
Hancock sent General Meade such a report
of the nature of the vicinity ot Gettysburg as
Ictcrmlncd him to light a battle theie. On
be following days , July 3 and 3 , Hancock
commanded the left centre , repulsing the
nand final assault of Leo's army July u , and
ailing severely wounded at the moment of

111 December , IWk ) , when ho leturncd to
the command of his corps.
The army , however , being In winter quar-
ers and Inactive , General Hancock , was re
quested to proceed to the north for tlio liur-
xjsoot stimulating the recruiting of volun-
cere , much needed to till the diminished
anks of his corps. His great reputation and
) opularity made Ids mission eminently sne-
icssfnl , and at Now York , Philadelphia , Hos-
on , Albany , and other places visited , ho was
cndercd public receptions and the freedom
of tlio cities. In March. ISfil , lui returned to
ds command , and In the campaign of that
year , though still suffering from his wound ,
10 bore a prominent part. In the Hattlo of
ho Wilderness ( May 5-7) ) his command
amounted to more than fio.ooo men. At the
> attle of the Po ( May 10) ) ho command
ed the Fifth corps , as well as
n the assault near tlio Spottsyl-
van la court house , May 12. At Spottsylvanla
m led Ids corps In Its famous assault on the
enemy's works , capturing upwards of 4,000
irlsoners. twenty pieces ot artillery and
liousauds of small arms. In the subsequent
operations of the army , including Cold liar-
tor and the assault of the lines before
Petersburg. General Hancock was conspicu
ous and Indefatigable until compelled on tlio

ysburg wound , to relinquish his command
for ton days , when lie returned to tlio com
mand of his corps in front of Petersburg.
On August 2 ho was appointed a brigadier

18(10 ( , when he was transferred to tlio com-
iiand of the department of the Missouri , hav

March 18GS to March ISO'.t ; and the department
of Dakota , ISiK ) to 1872. In this latter year , he
was assigned the command of the division of
the Atlantic , which lie held nt the time of ills
death.
Although not nn aspirant for political
loners , General Hancock's name was freely
iicntloned in 1808 and 1872 as a desirable
lomocratic candidate for president of tlio
United States. In 1SOO tlio nomination for
lovernor of Pennsylvania was tendered , but
le declined to run. In ISSOhe was nominated
for tlio presidency on the democratic ticket ,
with English as candidate for vice president ,
but was overwhelmingly defeated by the [ re
publican candidate , James A. Garflcld.
A COMllADE'S TRIBUTE.
The military Succession General
Howard's Personal Recollections.
General Howard was called upon last
ivcning by a reporter for the BIE , and ques-
Joned about the matter of military suc
cession. Ho stated that the death of General
Hancock and the retirement of General Pope
next month would create two vacancies to bo
filled , respectively , these of the junior and
senior major general. To these two positions
General Howard stated that ho believed bo
and General Terry would be the appointees ,
and ho felt confident that ho would be
lesignatcd as tlio successor of General
Hancock.
There has been a great deal of discussion
in army circles within the past few months
as to the successor of General Pope , the
junior major general , who is to bo retired in
March. It had been pretty well settled that
either General Terry , commander of tlio de
partment of Dakota , or General Howard waste
to succeed General Pope. In favor of the
latter , seniority of service and a distinguished
record made during the war of the rebellion
were urged , ns powerful reasons why the po
sition should bo given to him. And while ,
of course , no ono knew who would bo the
lucky appointee , It was generally felt thatthc
hero of Fair Oaks would be selected to till tlio
vacancy created by the retirement of Pope.
Tlio sml circumstance of the death of Gen
eral Hancock , however , has put an entirely
different complexion on tlio matter. Uy the
same claims which have been urged in favor of
General Howard's appointment as the successor
ser to General Pope , ho will be entitled to the
position of senior major general. In the
event that ho is so elected. General Terry
will undoubtedly succeed General Pope. It
is expected that thooflicial orders will be re
ceived In a few days , designating tlio distri
bution of honors.
"J. first met General Hancock in 185(1 ( In
Florida , " said General Howard to the UKI :
man. "Ho was then with the Fittli Infantry ,
as lieutenant , and afterwards as brevet cap
tain , acting as post quartermaster at Fort
Meyer. 1 was then chief of ordnance of the
department of Florida , while General Harnoy
was commander of the department. 1 shall
never forget the first time 1 sawhlin. It was
one hot summer day , and ho was loosely at
tired In a shirt , pair of pants and light
shoes. He was slender as a young
man , quito tall , and of striking
appearance , llo was very talkative , fond of
good stories , and a great favorite with Ids
fellow ollleers. lie never lowered himself by
any acts ho committed , but always main
tained a certain dignity , which was never
offensive.
"At various times after that wo met. At
the opening of the civil war wo were as
signed to our respective commands , and there-
alter fought in eight engagements together
the battles of Yorklown ( Lee's Mill ) , Wil-
liamsburg , Fair Oaks , second Hull Hun ,
Antietaui , FriHlerlckbburg , Chancelloisvfllo ,
and Gettysburg. At Fredericksburg his
division of the corps plunged into battle first ,
clofely follosved by my own , and that day
wo fought together. In thu battle of Gettys
burg also our corps fought closely
togi-lher , I commanding the field ono day.
and General Hancock tlio next. At the end
of thObicDiid day General Meade , who had
arrived , called his subordinates together and
held a council of war to determine whether
to light It out on that ground. General
Hancock , I remember , was among these who
strongly urged that our forces ought to bo
hehl to the light without flinching. "
" \Vlmtwero \ your impressions of him as a
soldier and ageneralV
"General Hancock was as a soldier bravo
and intrepid. As a general ho was quick ,
farseeing , and always directed the move
ments ot his men to the best advantage. In
battle his magnificent tiirmo mount
ed on his largo horse . always
Inspired confidence In tlio breasts of
his soldiers , llo was , as 1 have said , cool and
collected , and during the hottest engagement
could be seen riding from point to point ,
directing Ids men here and there , without for
a moment losing ; his self-possession. Ho was
kind , almost tender at times. Sometimes
through a hasty temper , he would do things
for which he was afterwa.ids sony , and he
always took pains.tp make amends. Ho was
altogether a man of noble character , woithy
of every honor which was aecoided him. "
( iejieral Hancock has visited Omaha on
several occasions , The last time was hhortly
alter tlio return of General Howard from
Kuropu In the tall of 18& , when lie passc.il
through hero on his wa > ' to Sau Francisco
for the benefit of Ids health. Ho was feeling
poorly at the. time , however , and remained
line but a few hours , receiving a number ot
prominent Omaha gentlemen in his private
car before he lett.

The ami's London cable says : The so-

; iave been Inspired not'so much by the actual
desperation of the mas-ies , who are In en
forced Idleness though their condition Is
pilto as deplorable as it Is represented to be
is by ulterior motives on the part of the
leaders. Tlio purpose of the socialists , led
liy Burns of Nottingham , Is reported to have
been to strengthen the organization of the
socialist labor movement , the pieclpltation of
n riot as a consequence of his efforts being a
secondary matter. Lidy Ilandolpn Churchill's
Iwouglmm was stopped In Piccadilly , She
resolutely drove the assailants off and then
drove rapidly up Albenmrlo street to her
liome. Your correspondent twice drove out
and thrice walked through the crowd during

comprising the gathering" were generally of
lecent appearance , and apparently what
Lhoy appeared 16 bct-worklngmeii. There
was , of course , on the outskirts , the usual
t'lingc of boys and ugly looking bummers.
Parnelt Is said to be much alarmed at the
prospect of the affair causing a coalition of
the chaotic elements in the cabinet.
LONDON , Feb. P. (1'ress.J ( Sparling , n so
cialistic leader , In an Interview In relation to
the part taken by the socialists in the demon
stration yesterday , said that while nc itld not
approve of rioting , still ho could not but re
joice at an event which tended to show that
society was insecure. In regard to throwing
stones at the Carleton Club Sparling said the
members of the body had brought the attack
upon themselves by appearing at the windows
dews and jeering at the mob. In explana
tion of the rough treatment to which a lady
luul been subjected by the rioters , lie said her
carriage had been .stopped because the lady
was heard to order her coachman to "drive
over those dogs. " Fears arc entertained that
the riots of yesterday wjll be renewed to-day.
This Is what is natu'rally to bo expected
when the Immunity enjoyed by the mob in
its work of destruction yesterday is consid
ered. The police showed- they were entirely
powerless to cope with euch a force as that
with which they were confronted yesterday.
In anticipation of another demonstration to
day , small croWds.of roughs have been pourIng -
Ing into Trafalgar siuaro from different
points of the city , and at thin hour the crowd
asspinbled there numbers fully 3,000. None

unable to clean the streets , and tralllc for the
time bBlng is brought to a .standstill. The
spirit of Ilio mob to-day is distinctly aggres
sive. Every carriage which comes within
reacli of the rioters Is at oncesurroiinded and
the occupants hooted , hissed and insulted.
During the early part of tlio afternoon a gor
geous equipage was driven near tlio mob.
borne one said the turnout was tlio lord may
or's , and the rioters at once made a rush for
It , .seemingly determined to tear the
vehicle to pieces and stamp the
occupants to death. The police by
a vigorous charge rescued the occupants and
got them to a place of safety. The mob at
present is simply a mass of undirected human
Havaircs. Nothing , it would seem , but the
want of some popular leader , prevents tlio
mob from exerting its strength in some or
gan I/.ed movement , which might bring about
the most dangerous results. During tlio af
ternoon tlio police charged the mob twice In
lull force for the purpose of breaking It up
and driving tlio' fragments from Trafalgar
square , but both efforts were absolutely futile.
Tlio mob would yield a little nt the point of
attack , but bulge In FOIIIO other direction.
The police could'not surround It or break It.
Kucli failure of the police was greeted with
cheers and yells. The rioters uro getting en
raged at fii'quont repetitions of police hos
tility anil the temper of the mob is percentI-
blyrliliig. Thousands of men are pouring
down to thu scene and all the pavements in
tlm vicinity of Trafalgar bquaro are lined
with excited men , the rows on cither side of
the htieets being nowhere less than six men
ttecp.
lo : : ; p. m. The Increasing gravity has
finally alarmed the authorities , and they have
put forth ail their energies to suppress the in
cipient riot. Tliopollce.fmrcuon . duty at Tra
falgar square is enormously Increased and
prepared for a well d * > llnm nml exhaustive
assault. This afternoon , ) i long struggle re
sulted in pibhlng thu > mob into the hide
streets , thus splitting tit UP till the elements
were dissipated In tlio alleyways and byways
of the town.Every .precaution has been
taken to prevent tho/'topswinblage of any
mob. Many of ( h6 riotursiave | been anesteu.
Komo of them have * pobn lined and dis

prisonment for various tqrins of from one to

LONDON , Feb. 0 , Hums , Champion ,
Ilyndman and Williams , tbo lour socialists
who Inspired yesterday's riots , called this at'-
ternoon-npoii Joseph Chamberlain , president
of the local government board , at bis Joillce.
Chamuerlaln declined to receive tlm social
ists personally , but conveyed to them his
willlfigni ! .s 'to give Attention to anything
iliey might have to say , provided they placed
It bejor.q. lilin .huyriting. Hums and his col-
tcogues thereupon dratted a statement ot
their wishes. They said they had called to
obtain from Chamberlain a declaration of the
government's intentions witli reg-aid to
work for the several
jiundrt'd thousand unemployed people
ple who weie at present starving In the
city of London and elscwboro in England.
The btatement contained the assertion that
all.tho pressure which the worklngmen'a bo-
clutlusliad brought to bear on the local au-
tholitioa had entirely failed , and that letters
front to the local gom-ninent by persons au
thorized to speak lor the iliatK'sM'd were left
unanswcicd. Jinins and his colleague , *
averred that they had hopefully come lor a
statement of the government' Intentions in
order to report at a meeting of the unem
ployed woikmeii of London , which Is soon to
be held.
Cluimberlain replied In writing that ho tllil
not think that any of the remedied proposed
by the Social Democratic federation would
prove effectual to relieve the prevalent want
und misery existing among the unemployed
In Kncland. Ho was on this account unable
to support these inoposod measures. At the
same ( line he felt tlio tireent necessity of
having something done , and ho was now
having an inquiry made for the purpose of
ascertaining ( lie oxant extent and character
of the distressed. Wherever It should bo
found necessary to do so , boards of guatd-
lans. unless they wcro already empowered.
would be authorized to grant outdoor relief
when labor tests had been arranged sufllcient
lo prevent Imposture. The question of pub-
lie woiks , continued Chamlicrlaln , was not
within the province of the local government.
The socialists departed dlssatlsiied with the
outcome of their visit , llynoman and
Champion wcro quite anery over what they
called Chamberlain's evasion of the real
points nt Issue. They denounced his scheme
of Inquiry as a device to secure delav while
the very men In whoso behalf the alleged in-
quirv was claimed to have been started were
actually starving to death. "Tlio unemployed
of London , " these gentlemen continued , "do
not want outdoor relief ; they do not want
charity ; they want nnth ng but honest and
useful work which will enable them to earn
bread. The proposition to trivo them doles ,
accompanied by servile and degrading labor
tests , galls them and Is calculated to exasperate -
ate them Into revolt. "
LONDON. Feb. ti. News of tlio riot hero
lias created a sensation in Europe. Tlio
socialists of Paris and Herlln are jubilant.
Meeting ! ) are being called In those cities to
express admiration for the London social
ists.

A meeting of West end tradesmen was
held this c.venlng for tliepupose of express-
ng Indignation and want of conlidenro
In the authorities in permitting the
riot. The ; loss on account . of the riot is
estimated at 2,000. The socialists were ac
cused of being icsponsible for the trouble.
Later estimates place the loss at double tlio
estimate made.
The Times severely censures tlio heads of
Ilio police department , who. It says , proved
themselves unlit for the positions they oc
cupy.

vent. further outbreak and to preserve the
peace. The.fact that the Chinese minister
had requested the aid of the government in
the protection of the Chinese was referred to
the secretary of state. It was decided , how
ever , in view of the advices from the local
authorities thatit was not necessary
at present to order United States
troops to the scene of the trouble , but the
secretary of war was instructed to have troops
in readiness for immediate transportation in
case of emergencies arising which would re
quire their presence at Seattle. There wcro
many appeals for federal assistance during
the heielitof the trouble , but as they did
not come through legal channels they could
not be acted upon. The governor sent ad
vices of the situation to the president , but
made no formal appeal for aid.

IOWA AND MKUHASKA.
flic Hnyos Impeachment Trlnl Com
menced The Charges.
DRS MOINKS , Iowa , Feb. n. [ Special Tele-
; nuu. ] The judicial committee of the house ,
o whom was referred the charges for tlio
impeachment of Judge Hayes , met to-day ,
lion. John Mohan and Nov. 11. Ewlng , rep
resenting thoMuscatlno County Temperance
alliance , presented the charges against Hayes.
The charges are given at length under seven
Iteads , supported by frequent references to
the code of Iowa. They charge , among other
hlngs , that he has not attempted to enforce
ho law for the suppression of Intemperance ,
ilther before or since It was amended by the
.wcntletli general assembly ; ho hits not In-
llcled adequate penalties ; ho has steadily
educed the penalties against old
offenders for repeated offenses ; lie has not ,
.intll driven to it by public exposure , en
forced the slight penalties that ho has pio-
tiounced.
The memorialists state their belief that the
eneral facts contained In those papers re-
'erred to prove a conspiracy between Judge
W.I.Hayes , the prosecuting attorney and
: ho several saloon keepra for the purposn of
lefeatlng justice. The 'conspiracy more par
ticularly appears in the fact that the saloon
keepers submit to repeated prosecution with
out any attempt atdetcuse : that the Indict
ments are prepared with the evident
nirposo of shielding them from
'mther prosecution , and that the
udge , whenever they are brought before him
on a bonalldecharge , Invariably affordstthem
every possible protection. They also charge
him with being guilty of misdemeanor in
compromising contrary to law several cases
th liquor dealers , whoso names are set
foith and the circumstances attending. They
also charge him with misdemeanor In Ids
public utterances and expressions addressed
o tlio public , In which ho ha encouraged op-
josltlon to the prohibitory law nml given
, -altiablo suggestions for Its evasion. After
listening to tlio memorial ot charges thu com
mittee adjourned for one week.

is his duty to ask for their retirement. "
' The World's ' Washington special says : "It
nay be said to be definitely settled that At
torney General Garland will bo asked
to resign his seat in the cabinet. It
is not trim that Garland has tendered
ills resignation or placed his otlicc
nt tlio disposal of tlio president ,
f lie latter will doubtless bo under the pain
'ul necessity of calling Garland's attention-
o the impropriety of Ills longer remaining
in the cabinet in view of the surrounding
ircumstanc.es and the recent developments.
It Is not improbable that the whole subject
will be discussed at a cabinet meeting. Tlio
president lias not yet asked for an official
opinion from any one , but It is certain if ho
should ask ho would find a majority of his
own cabinet declaring that Garland must go.
There is good reason to believe that at least
three members of the cabinet would not re
main If Garland were retained. "

Senator Van U'yok lloyonit Venality. \
WASIUNOTO.V , Feb. H. [ Special. ] An old
lobbyist , who has been one of the members of
the third house for a great many years , said
last evening In conversation with the rail
road people , that Senator Van Wyck of Ne
braska , was the worst man with whom the
railroad had to deal , He Is avalnst monopo
lies of every character , and cannot bo in
duced to veto against the people's Interest *
and In favor of tlio railroad corporation by
all the blandishments and blarney which the
eloquent representatives of the corporations
can bring to bear upon him. This man con
tinuing said : " 1 have given up all hope ot
doing anything with the Nebraska ! ! senator ,
and the only hope for us In the future Is to
defeat his re-election. "
It Is very generally understood hem that
Senator Van Wyck will meet with consider
able opposition.In the Nebraska legislature ,
but the opposition will come from just those
very men he can well afford to oppose ;
Senator Van Wyck's course while In the
senate has been such as to commend Itself to
all but the great corporations which have
grown rich by absoibiug the public domain ,
and If the power of these companies should
bo strong enough to defeat him no one will
bo moro .sincerely regret fid limn lils associates
In the senate , who , whllo occasionally sutler- "
lug under the lash of his keen tongue ,
admire his outspoken straightforwardness
always.

Thirteen mouths of this tlmo have passed ,
