D. C. , .Ian. 11. General
Ucnjnrntn P. Hutlur , the lawyer , statesman ,
mlllion.ilro manufacturer and politician died
nt bis Washington residence , 220 Now Jersey
nvcnuc , at 1:30 this morning ,
Tim gonnral has always to a moro or less
extent made his residence lu Washington , al
though many ot the scenes of hh successful
ventures have been located clsowhoro. Dur
ing the present winter a case which had
been decided against him In the highest
courts of the state of Massachusetts nnd In
which ho took an appeal to the supreme
court had ili-wandcd bis almost con
stant rpsiilcnco In this city. Kvcry Mon
day ho was n familiar figure at the sessions
of the court , when decisions were handed
down. Ills ngc , asvull as general Impair
ment of health , while listening to the oral
decisions and waiting tor his own , was a
matter of remark time und tlmo again.
Finally a few wuulcs ago the caao was decided
against him.
! II. < death caused an immense surprise as
it was not oven known ho was ailing , any
more than a man who bad lived and labored
BO long was bound to bo. The Renor.il was
accompanied to Washington by his colored
valet , who has attended htm during the past
fifteen or twenty years nud who always went
with him wlion ho traveled. Shortly after 1
o'clock this morning the general was at
tacked by a lit of coughing which awakened
the man servant , who occupied an adjoining
room. Ho at oueo hastened to the general's
bedside , The general , meanwhile , had gotio
to the bath room adjoining , to which his
valet hastened and offered his assistance.
The Kciier.il mentioned that his expectora
tion had been discolored with blood. He did
not appear to think seriously of the matter ,
however , and after his valet had assisted
him to his bod. ho said : "That's all , West.
You need not do anything move , " nnd appar
ently went to steep.
AYlicn tlm Kiul Came.
Ho had Iain on his bed but a few moments ,
however , when his heavy breathing again
caused alarm , and Mr. Lander Dunn , his
nephew by marriage , started out in search of
medical assistance. It was fully llftccn
minutes Ifeforo he could secure aid and then
when ho returned with Dr. Luce , the assist
ant ot Dr. Kayne , the physician of the him-
ily , it was seen the general was in extremis.
Tlio doctor Informed the two nieces , Miss
Stevens and Mrs. Dunn , who were at his
bedside , and death followed almost Immedi
ately. The end was apparently painless.
General Duller wasnt the AVar department
yesterday afternoon after his appearance in
court earlier in the day. Itutumlng home ho
ate dinner , after which ho sat pleasantly
chatting with the members of the house
hold. He retired about 11 o'clock , apparently
us well as ever.
On his way hero from Now York last Fri
day , General Butler was taken sick on the
train , hut recovered. Yesterday ho caught
u very heavy cold which produced pneu
monia , and that in turn caused failure of the
heart , which was the immediate cause ot
death. Strange to say ho had only the day
previously saiil at the dinner table that ho
would die lllto a Hash , and that some morn
ing they would llnd him dead 'on his bed.
Ho had no dread ot sudden death ; on the
contrary , ho had frequently said ho would
prefer to go suddenly rather than to linger
und suffer. He spoke of Mr. Blaine in this
connection at dinner , and asked how ho was.
Ho remarked : "Ho will outlive us all yet. "
The interment will take place at Lowell ,
Mass..in the family plot , where lie the ro-
inalns of his wife and his son Benjamin , the
latter of whom died In 1S70.
The general's daughter , Mrs. General
Ames , Is at Highlands , N. J. , and his son
Paul at Lowell , Muss.
Ills lllxtory.
Benjamin Franklin Butler figured in moro
characters than any other public man of this
ago. There have been several abler gen
erals , many moro prominent statesmen , ns
many moro eloquent attorneys , though very
few as successful nml perhaps fewer as
adroit politicians. But no other man played
so many parts as well , from the place of
small lawyer to that of proconsul in u cap
tured city lu the most delicate era and difll-
cult situation of the civil war.
As a child Butler was very sickly and irrlt-
ablo. Ho went on : i long llshiug voyage und
got rid of all his troubles except a tendency
to Irritation , say some of his critics. Ho was
indeed combative from the start. In college
ho was half the tlmo engaged in controversy
with the faculty , and barely escaped oxpul-
ftlon ; In politics ho often bolted party lines ,
uud in congress ho was perpetually in hot
water. He reached his maximum of great
ness about 1800-70 , nnd after 1884 was practi
cally withdrawn from the public view. Thus
retired the most unique and versatile char
acter Unit over appeared lu American politics.
Personally , u eulogist of Butler said of
him : "Ho is a thorough 'Yankee' using
that phrase In its most slangy as well as
local and genealogical sense Other men
may bo somewhat xuiikcu ho lllls the bill.
Like all intensely positive characters who
possess ability , ho has been much admired ,
moro feared and most intensely hated ; but It
cannot bo thought that ho was over widely
loved , Many have cursed him : no ono ever
said ho Wat , u fool. As to stock , it would ho
hard to llnd u purer blooded Yankee. The
Itutlers ttimo to Now England among the
llrat , und Ben's grandfather , Captain /op-
huniah Butler , fought under Wolfe at Quo-
hoc and gained fume lu the Revolution , while
his father , John , was a captain in 1812-ir > ,
His mother came of the ( Jllleys , a Scotch
Irish family , and the Cilloy of Now Hump-
Bhlro who was killed in the noted duel was a
cousin of the general. "
Ho was bom at Deorlleld , N. II. , Nov. 5 ,
t 1B1B ; was graduated from the Baptist college -
lego nt Wutervlllo , Mo. , in 18JW , and was in
no long time admitted to practice at the bar ;
was married in 1843 to Miss Hlldroth , und
became a general of Massachusetts militiii
In 1800.
At a Koldlrr.
It was In his capacity ns nfllcor of the
Massachusetts Militia that ho entered tin
service of the United States , April 10 , 1801
On the 17th ho started for Washington am'
his experience at Annapolis , Mil. , fron
which his troops repaired the railway ant
locomotives and ran the latter was one o
the most Interesting and encouraging iuci
dents of the tlmo.
May ll ! , 18111. General Butler took jwsses
Dion of Baltimore , finding the late turbuleni
city as quiet ns Lowell and three days latei
ho was commissioned major general of vol
tmteers commanding the Department o
Kastern Virginia with headquarters ai
Fortress Mouroo. There ho issued the fa
mous order , ov decision , that "as slaves an
jiroi > crty In Virginia , fugitive slaves win
enter our lines are contraband of war , " tint
many a year passed before the freedmci
ceusud to l > called "contrabands. " Tin
llrst movement ordered by him resulted ii
the repulse at Big Bethel , which at tha
tlmo was thought a great disaster ; but hi
soon regained prestige by aiding in the cap
turn of Kurts Hattcras tmd Chirk on tli
coast of North Carolina.

March IKt , 1803 , the so called -'Butler ' expc
ditlon" reached und took possession of Shi
island. In May , after Furragut hai
virtually captured Now Orleans , Butler tool
possession of the city.
Ills administration of affairs was marlce
with great vigor , und encountered much hos
tile comment the world over. Ho institute
the strictest sanitary regulations , wlilcl
kept the city free from threatened yollo\
fever , armed the free negroes nnd compelle
rich secessionists to contribute toward th
iwor of tlm city. Ono day William Mutnfon
hauled down the United States llag froi
the mint. For that Butler had him hangw
"Ho issued "Order No. B8 , " to prevent wome
from insulting his soldiers , uud for tha
Jefferson Davis proclaimed him au outlav

deposited in the oftlco of the Dutch cousu
claiming that arms for the confederate
> vcro ta bo bought with It. All tha forulg
consuls protested ner.Mnst this nnd the
government ordered the return of the money.
On December C , 1802 , Butler was recalled , as
ho declared , nt the Instigation of I/nils
NntKjlfoii , wno supposed the general to bo
hostile to his Mexican schemes.
( llvrn Anotlirr Cotnmnndi
Near thn close of 1SC3 ho was placed
in command of the Department of Vir
ginia i\nd North Carolina. He was after
wards called to the Army of the .lames.
In WA ho was sent to Now York to ensure
qulot during the election. In December of
that year ho conducted nn inefllclont expe
dition against Fort Fisher and was
afterwards removed from command by
General Grant. In ISM ho was elected to
congress ns a republican nnd retained his
seat until I3r , wltji the exception of the
years 1875-7. He was ono of the moat ac-
tlvo men in 1S03 In the house in conducting
tlio Impeachment of President Andrew
Johnson. Ho was the unsuccessful candi
date for governor of Massachusetts lu 187L
and 1878-9 was the candidate of the in
dependent rreonbacRers and democrats for
the same olllco and was again defeated. In
ISSJ ho was elected by tlio democrats ; was
reiiomlnatcd lu I8l and defeated. Ho was
the candidate of the grcenluukcrs nud anti-
monopolists for president in 18SI and re
ceived myi votes.
Ho was nt thu time of hla death To years
of age. The later years of his llfo ho de
voted to the practice of luw and bronchi
many cast's before tlio supreme court. His
familiar face nud broad brimmed hat were
seen in the supreme court in general term
yesterday. The old contest over the will of
Samuel Strong , heard by the general term
on nppe.il from the circuit , court was to have
been tried this term. .ludgo K. O. D. Bar
rett asked the court to put the case down for
hearing thin week to accommodate General
Butler , as It might not bo convenient for
him to attend later in the term. The court
wasohllgcd to refuse the request ns other im
portant cases had thu preference.

WASHINGTON- . C. , Jan. II , The hand of
death has ngaui been laid heavily on the
senate. At a o'clock this morning when the
keenest nnd bitterest gale of the winter
swept through the streets and shook at the
window casements , the end came to Senator
John E. K'cnna , and ho passed quietly away
after a long illness. His death was not un
expected , for ho hud been falling steadily
sirico midnight , and when the last struggle
came iio was surrounded by the faces of
those ho loved best on earth , and everything
that science could do to smooth the fatal
pathway had been done.
His ailment was heart disease and his
'nthor ' had died before him from the fatal
flection. For years ho had been conscious
hat he was subject to a fatal termination of
ho disease any moment , and in consequence
o had lived abstemiously nud simply and
ad avoided any chauco shock , although ho
vns uuablo altogether to resist the at-
r.u-tions of the iicld and stream , for Senator
Cciitia was a born sportsman and loved to
pend weeks at a time in the plno woods of
ils native state in pursuit of game and fish ,
fe felt that these trips jvcro beneficial to
is health , but when he returned to Wnsh-
ngton last fall he complained that ho had
ot recuperated as usual in his summer
a cation.
llli I'llul ! Illness.
Last October the stroke came , and ho
ook to his bed. It was n narrow escape
hen from Immediate death. The senator
vas a man of great strength and will power ,
ml the consciousness that ho would leave
chind him so many helpless little ones and
.o was a poor man ( ho had six young chil-
.rnu ) nerved him to ilght for his life with
lUpcrhumau vigor. The result was that
icveral times he rallied and escaped from
ho Jaws of death to the surprise of the
led leal men. In ono or two instances so
larked was the improvement noted in his
ondition that It justified hopes of his ultl-
nato recovery. As late as Saturday last ho
nis cheerful , nnd yesterday ho told
member of his state delegation
hat ho was recovering. A lit of
lausea yesterday greatly emphasized to the
ihyslclnns the precarious condition of the
patient. It marked the failure of the circu-
atlon , the breaking down of the over taxed
icnrl , and they looked for the worst. Still
10 rallied again and the end appeared to bo
aill distant until about 8 o'clock last night
.vlicn . there were unmistakable signs of col-
apso. From that time the vital forces ebbed
: .ipidly. The members of the family , except
.ho youngest of his children , were all in
ittcndancc at the bcdsido soon after mid-
light , and they were present when the hus-
Ijand and father drew his last breath.
Funeral Services.
The remains will bo taken to the capital
tomorrow , and the funeral services will take
l lacc in the senate chamber.
As the deceased was a Catholic the ser
vices will bo impressive , nnd performed
under the direction of Archbishop Gibbons
of Baltimore , to' whom the senator was
warmly attached. Tomorrow night the re-
nains , escorted by the congressional com
mittee and attended by the members of the
family of the deceased and a few personal
friends , will bo placed on n Chesapeake &
Ohio train and bo taken to Charleston .
Ya. . the homo of the dead senator.
The Joint committee to conduct the funeral
will consist of Messrs. Faulkner , Blnckburn ,

the part of the senate , and Messrs. Ander

There should bo n better guarding of the
nvcnues ot citizenship , writes Colonel John
W. Weber , United States commissioner of
immigration at Now York , to the Chicago
News Kccord. I would extend the privileges
of citizenship to no ono who does not prove
that ho is mentally nnd morally llttcd to re
ceive such privileges. These things accom
plished , thu question of immigration will not
be so serious n problem ns many now believe.
With the exception of the Jews of Russia it
is not oppression tlmt prompts emigration ,
bnt rather the superior conditions which
prevail hero over these which exist in
Europe. I may add that when investigating
tlm subject of immigration lu Europe In
ISlil I found that wherever manufacturing
was active emigration was sluggish , and
that emigration came not from the activity
of land cnmp.inles and stc.imshlp lines , as
many suppose , but because John , who has
established himself hero , writes to his
brother Jim , who remains at home , to come
nerc because of the hotter opportunities and
superior conditions existing here.
Ht-nelH * aT ImmlKnitlon.
A ltd now comes the question. Has Immi
gration boon bcncllclal to this country ! I
fancy there will be no ono to dispute the ad
vantages ot immigration in the past. Wo
owe to the toilers from abroad the building
of our vast railroad system , the digging of
our canals , the .springing up of cities anil the
creation of liew states , ns well ns some
acknowledgment for performing their full
share in contending for the supremacy of the
union during the late war.
And another i > oint the manual labor has
been hired by the native American. The
native engineers the Job ; the foreigner docs
the shoveling. The foreigner plows and
'
sows , the native reaps ; tho'ono builds rail
roads , the other runs them. In short , the
American in every walk of life ( poll tics here
abouts , perhaps , cxcupted ) lias been the
' boss. " I may go oven further and venture
to remark that , while the foreigner feeds
the cattle on the farm , the native waters
the stock on Wall street , and while ono
makes dividends possible , the other tlnds
them profitable.
Problem or the I'rescnt.
So wo sco that immigration has been bene
ficial in the past , and now wo are confronted
with the question , Is it now beneficial } It
is true that of late years the stream has in
creased from southern Europe in thoinlluxof
Italians and Slavs , who are moro generally
illiterate than the northern clement. If this
is so we should stop it , and can stop it , for
we have the power , bv prescribing nn educa
tional test for arriving immigrants. Whether
this is detrimental or not , wo should at least
iliagnoso HID ease carefully before laying
iloxvn a heroic course of treatment , for immi
gration is n growth and not nn explosionand
the volume is so strong and the momentum so
great that you cannot suddenly apply the
air brake without n shock which will dis
turb and disarrange existing conditions ,
reaching all over the country , und once
stopped you cannot resume at short notice.
IH Competition UnhcnUlijr ?
It nas been stated that the incoming of
foreigners brings about an unhealthy com
petition hi the labor market und reduces
wages , I dispute this , however , for the
tendency of wages for the last thirty years
has been steadily upward. Others say that
the foreigners contribute an abnormal pro-
] Krtion ) of inmates In our poorhouses and our
prisons. This Is probably true , but it is be
cause the foreigner belongs to the poorer
half of the community. The pathways lead
ing to crime too frequently branch off from
the avenues of necessity. Others , again , say
that wo are becoming overcrowded. Tr.oso
who are regarded as good authorities , however -
over , say wo can accommodate seven times
our present numbers without overcrowding ,
and oven then fall below tlio countries of
Europe in density of population.
Plenty of Kooni lu Torav
The state of Texas alone could have taken
the entire inllow of the last ten years with
great advantage to her interests and have
room to spare. Europe docs not suffer so
much from overpopulation as from overtaxa
tion to support royalty , nobility and immense
standing armies , with their continual ro-
plcnlsmcnt of weapons and munitions of war
and naval equipments , making taxation so
heavy as to almost obliterate that great
middle class , which is the strength , as it is
the pride und glory , of this land. And in
speaking of overcrowding wo must not for
got the available area of Canada. Her mani
fest destiny is , I believe , annexation.
rimiH for Restriction.
1 desire now to consider briefly the various
plans for increasing the existing restrictions
of immigration by direct and indirect
methods. To begin with , wo can adopt any
or all of the plans suggested. Congress has
the power to shut down altogether , to pro
scribe an educational test or n money qualifi
cation , can exclude nationalities , as has been
done In the case of the Chinese. Or we can
limit the number coming in any ono year or
from any ono nationality , or place upon the
traffic nny restrictions desired wise or fool
ish. If wo had had in force from February
1 to November 1 , 1893 , an educational test
namely , the test of reading and writing wo
would have shut out at this port of those
above the ago of 15 years fi'.UOO out of ' . ' 75-
000 arrivals. Wo would have shutout iu
round numbers :
: > 89 Seaiuliviivlaiisrmt of 42,000

0Uljr > Hungarian * out of 122,000
0,75fi I'ole.sontof 17,000
28,270 Italians out of 43,000
If we had had thomoiioy qualification from
January 1 to November 1 , 18'JJ , for persons
over SO yours of age , say $100 which is the
amount most commonly suggested we would
' have shut out 101,000 out of WJ.OOO. Wo
would have shut out :
28,055 Scandinavians out of 30,000
28,000 ( ieriniins ontol. 31,000
18,802 Irish out of lO.uOU

At the entrance of our harbor , on n great

Yesterday was a busy day for the grievance
committee of the Order of Hallway Con
ductors , room 33 in the Dellono being con
stantly occupied by the committee. The
election ot ofllcers for the ensuing year
resulted as follows : John S. IClssick of
Denver , chairman ; C. D. Roberts of
Cheyenne , vice chairman ; II. U. McBride ,
secretary , Grand Island.
Ono of the prominent members of the com
mittee In talking to n BEK reporter about the
meeting said : "While there nro no serious
grievances to require the attention of Mr.
Dickinson , still wo have some matters which
must bo passed upon by the assistant gen
eral manager , who has ehurgo of the oper
ating department of tlio Union Pacific.
Belated eotninltteemcn , as they come in , bring
with them grievances which the committee
will act upon ana then refer to Mr. Dickin
son. There is no ground for apprehension.
Labor organizations on the system are gen
erally contented , but there are certain minor
matters that require consideration , nud wo
will stay hero until they are settled , which ,
of course , will bo just as soon as the commit
tee gets through its business , and before
leaving , calls upon Mr. Dickinson.
"It is hard to say when wo will get

Two sessions of the Order of Railway
Trainmen's association Voro held yesterday ,
but no special business came before the con
vention. No ceremony was observed in seat
ing the newly elected onicors. The dele
gates expect to bo in session two or three
days yet. Yesterday's session was devoted
mostly to discussing questions pertaining to
improvements in and for the good of the
order.
In a day or so the committee will nsk for
an nudicuco with General Manager Dickin
son and present the few grievances which
have been brought to the notice of the com
mittee for consideration by the Union Paeiilo
management.
Secretary Hogan of tlio order said last
night that the association was In a flourish
ing condition and had very few grievances ,
because , as a rule , the trainmen in the em
ploy of tlio Union Pacific were well treated
and had very few complaints to make.

More
kinds
of cheats
In shoes than in anything * else tlmt you buy. You oan't
detect thorn. Goodyear and Wnvdwollvolts parade us
hand sewed-split leather as full stook-oil oloth as pat
ent leather-American calf as French-and a late wrin
kle adds the smell of Russia leather to a piece of calf
tanned by some enterprising1 yankee down oast. Your
safety lies in buying1 of a housu that you can trust-one
that will give you now shoos or your money back if your
shoes don't wear as they should. We do that very thing1
-pay backyour money if your shoos go back on you too
soon. We sell shoes for what they are. Wardwoll welts
are Wardwell welts ; Goodyear welts are Goodyear welts
and our hand sewed shoos are sowed by hand , every
stitch. We sell shoos that wear. That's the flrst point we
Insist on from the men who make our shoes-wearltivlty.
It s done moro to build up our shoo business to it's pres
ent magnitude than any other ono thing. Our early
spring1 purchases of shoes are hero today in the now
shapes as well as the old standbys. The working-man's
shoe at one twenty five , with solid leather insoles and
counters. The solid American call made with genuine
Goodyear welt at two dollars and fifty cents the best
shoe for the average man ever made. The dressy three
ninety shoe made of the finest of selected stock Amer
ican calf the equal of any six dollar shoo shop shoe ; the gen
uine , every stitch by liaiul French calf at live dollars and u half
( two dollars under the shoe stores ) . All these and many more
kinds of shoes are here today in lace and congress In all si/.es
in all widths in all styles of lasts in all toe shapes from the
peaked point of the dude to thu wide toe of a best girl's dad in
plain or tipped : Also .swell shapes in enamels and patent lea
ther tips. Of course you expect to save on your shoes by buy
ing here , same as you do in your clothes and hats.
