WAR IS OVER IN COLOMBIA

WASHINGTON , May 21. General Julio
Rcnglfo , commander of the southern wing ot
the Colombian army In the revolution just
closed , returned hero today to resume his
position as charge d'affaires of Colombia , tie
Brings Interesting particulars of the bloody
struggle , concerning which the reports have
been very meager thus far. The contending
armies numbered about 10,000 men , nnd the
killed and wounded were very heavy. Gen
eral Rcnglfo says the rebellion had Its In
ception among a set of dissatisfied radicals ,
nt the head ot whom was General Santos
Acosta. He was captured at the outset , but
his colleagues , Generals Pedro ,1'lnzon , Rod
riguez , Hula , Gutierrez and Verga Antes , took
the field with on nrmy of 14,000 men. They
lecured arms through Venezuela , although not
with that government's assistance. They
had Mannllcher and Remington rifles , heavy
jrdnance and machine guns. The government
army numbered 25,000 men ,
The decisive battle occurred nt Slsso , In
the north. The rebels had 2,500 men nnd the
government 3,000. The killed exceeded 1,000.
The rebel dead was over 800. General Ren-
glfo says peace Is fully restored and that the
country Is again tranquil. Referring to the
reports that ho would present to the State
department Colombia's claim to the Mosquito
country In Nicaragua , General Renglfo sak
h'j had been so busy with military operations
that he had not read the Instructions of the
government nnd did not know the claln
would be made. There Is little that couli
be brought to the attention of the United
States beyond a protest against Nicaragua's
assertion of rights.

rfttlni * 1'rrrcdcnt Alnntr TliU Uric.
DES MOINKS , May 21. ( Spcc'al Telegram , )
The Supreme court this morning affirmed
udgo Holmes' ruling In the case of the
Church of the Visitation , which contended
hat as certain lots owned by It were mort
age 1 nnd the money Invested In the present
litirch building , neither the money nor the
ots were subject to taxitlon. The courts
iold that the money so secured Is In direct
use by the church and not subject to assess
ment , while the lots clearly come within the
statute and can be taxed and sold for no
layment of assessments. The opinion Is that
he money and lots arc entirely separate , and
f the former were not Invested both could
12 taxed , but their Investment for the use of
ho church exempts them , leaving the lots ,
which , though mortgaged , ore the property
ot the church , In that It holds an equity In
'hem , assessable.
The case was entitled J. F. Nugqnt. nppel-
ant , against C. H. Dllworth , treasurer , Polk
llHtrlct. To the petition of plaintiff there
vns a general demurrer , which the court
sustained , and from the ruling the
ilalntlft appealed. The absence of an aver
ment and proof that the deed to the lots
was filed for record Is held to be fatal to the
istltlon. The money realised from the pledge
of the lots Is , or was , distinct from the lots ,
nnd before It became merged In the edifice ,
levoted to the objects of the church , It was
assessable as well ns the lots pledged for Its
layment. When the money was Invested In
: he edifice It , as Invested , became exempt ,
'or It nnd not the lots pledged Is devoted
to church purposes. The law means directly
not Indirectly devoted to such a purpose.
It means that property must be used by way
3f occupancy nnd not as the means of secur
ing funds for the erection of a church. The
church could not leate the lots , or In other
ways use them for pecuniary profit nnd apply
the profits to Its appropriate objects and
ulalm the exemption. The Judgment of the
lower court Is therefore affirmed.
OTHER DECISIONS.
Other decisions were filed as follows Sllby
Garner , sr. , ns guardian against J G. Henry ,
appeallant , Adalr district , affirmed. First

Carrie Wade and W C Wade , Mills district ,

appeal. Defendant twice moved for a verdict
and was overruled. The Jury was permitted

sustained n motion for a new trial because
of having failed to Instruct the Jury fully as

NEW YORK , May 21. The two-days'stay
ot the democratic editors came to an end
tonight , when a banquet was tendered them
at Dclmonlco's. Colonel William Brown was
toastmaster. He Introduced John A. Mason ,
who thanked the democrats of Gotham for
their hospitality.
Mr Mason then read a letter from Presi
dent Cleveland , which evoked tumultuous ap
plause. After expressing regret at his Ina
bility to be present , the president In his
letter said : "When a campaign Is actively
on foot to force the free , unlimited and In
dependent coinage of silver by the govern
ment nt a ratio which will add to our circu
lation unrestrained millions of so-called dollars
lars , Intrinsically worth but half the amount
they purport to represent , with no provision
or resource to make good any deficiency In
value , and when It Is claimed that such a
proposition has any relation to the principles
of democracy , It Is time for all who may In
the least degree Influence democratic thought
to realize the responsibility.
"Our party Is the party of the pople , not
because It Is drifted hither and thither by
every wave of popular excitement and mis
conception , but because while It tests every
proposition by the doctrlnss which underlie
its organization , It Insists that all Interests
should be defended In the administration
of the government without especial favor or
discrimination ,
ESSENTIAL TO PROSPERITY.
"Our party Is the party of the people be
cause In Its care for the welfare of all our
people It resists dangerous schemes born of
discontent , advocated by appeals to sectional
or class prejudices and reinforced by the
insiduous acts ot private selfishness and
cupidity.
"Above all , our party Is the party of the
people when It recognizes the fact that sound
and absolutely safe money Is the life blood
of our country's strength and prosperity , and
when It teaches that none of our fellow citi
zens , rich or poor , great or humble , can
escape the consequences of a degeneration of
our curency.
"Democratic care and conservatism dictate
that If there exists Inconvenience and hard
ship resulting from the congestion or Imper
fect distribution of our circulating medium
a remedy should be applied which must not
follow In the trail of silver monometallism. "
Letters of regret were also received from
Secretary Lament , Secretary Wilson and
others.
Toastmaster Brown Introduced Senator Hill
as "the democrat who stands for all that te
pure and grand In democratic politics. " Ths
senator was accorded a perfect ovation as he
rose to speak to the toast , "Democracy. "
Senator Hill said In part"The most Im
portant recent event In our national affairs
Is the decision by the suptcmo court that n
federal tax on rents or the Income of per
sonal property laid by the last congress h
a. direct tax and must be apportioned among
the states according to the census. For that
event we should congratulate ourselves an ( ]
render hearty thanks. "
HILL IS NON-COMMITTAL ,
i Referring to the silver question , the sen'
I ator said : "I am not In the councils ot the
gold monomotalllsts , but If I were I woulc' '
suggest that they are prejudicing the causi
of sound and safe currency at this momenl
by nagging over false and Immaterial sub
jects , as whether under the coinage law o :
1792 the silver dollar was the unit of value
"If Now York can bs carried by the demo
crnts this fall It can bo carried In 1S9C , an'
with it the country and "the presidency
Another defeat here forebodes national dls
aster. "
Comptroller of the Currency James H
Eckels spoke to the toast "Sound Money , i
Fundamental Principle of True Democracy. '
After briefly referring to the Justice am
expediency of a fieo press and speaking eln
quently of the great principles for which tin
democratic party stands , Mr. Eckels turne <
to the financial question of the day Souni
money ho declared to be a fundaments
principle of true democracy. Referring ti
the attitude of President Cleveland , th
speaker asserted the signs of returning pros
perlty demonstrated the wisdom of the gov
ernment's recent acts and the confidence o
the people In the administration. He nrguei
that the future fortune of the democrat !
party demanded that It should avoid al
sham and Illusion In dealing with the mone
question. Ho said in part : "In the light o
the present situation I am sure democrat
bent upon advancing their party's Intercs
nnd their country's prosperity can do n
better service than discuss the objection
from a distinctively democratic standpoln
to the position to which the advocates ot th
free colnago of silver , as It Is now pie
sented , would commit the party.

MEMPHIS , May 24. Memphis Is the storm
center of the south Just now In the agitation
of the all-absorbing currently question. Close
upon the heels of yesterday's ' "sound money"
convention at the Auditorium , at which the
economic views of the secretary of the na
tional treasury were expounded to a largo
gathering of men from all parts of the south ,
comes a rousing meeting tonight of an equally
numerous class of citizens.'whose slogan Is
"honest money , " and whose guest of honor
was the young Nebraskan.l ex-Congressman
William J. Hryan. Shortly after the sound
money convention was called the silver people
ple got to work upon a counter demonstra
tion , with the result that Mr. Bryan con
sented to reply to the speech of Secretary
Carlisle at a meeting held at the Grand opera
house tonight. Mr. llryan as Introduced by
W. II. Carmack , editor of the Commercial-
Appeal , and received an , enthusiastic recep-
on. A considerable part of bis speech was
aken up with comparisons of'Secretary Car-
sle's last speech with utterances said to
ave been made by him In1876. . He was
allowed by Congressman J. M. Allen of
llsslsslppl In a humorous and Interesting
peech.
Mr. Bryan said-
"I have read the speccr delivered by Mr.
Carlisle In this city on yesterday , also that
ellvcrcd by him at CoVlngton , Ky. , last
londay evening , and I have compared them
Ith the speech delivered by him on the
1st of I'Vbruary , 1878 , In the house of repre-
entatlves and I am reminded of the language
sed by Davfd In lamenting the death of
aul , 'How are the mighty fall.nl'
"In 1878 Mr. Carlisle was hurling the
ebbles of truth at the giant of the Phllls-
Ines , John Sherman ; today , as n Goliath , he
ally Issues challenges to his former friends.
Mr. Carlisle did not refer nt Memphis to
Is speech In 1878 , but ho did refer to It at
Covlngton , and said. "Somo of the opinions
lien expressed ha\o been modified and some
f them have been changed altogether by
ubsequent events , and by a more thorough
nvestlgatlon of the subjects to which they
elated , but on the question hf free coinage
convictions have never been shaken for a
moment. "
He explains that he voted for free coinage
n 1S78 In the hope that It would be amended
n the senate , but he never voted against
rco coinage until after the nomination of Mr.
loveland In 1SD2. It Is true that In 1878 Mr.
arllsle did say that he was opposed to the
ree coinage of silver , but he ought In all
alrness to have stated that he was at that
line opposed to the free coinage of gold also ,
le said In his speech of 1S7S : "I am opposed
o the free colnago of either gold or silver ,
jut In favor of the unlimited colnago of both
metals , upon terms of equality. "
"Mr. Carlisle , in discussing the legal ratio ,
assumes that the United States can ncconi-
h no more by free coinage than our little
iclghbor , Mexico , and overlooks entirely the
'ffect ' which will bo produced itpon the value
if silver bullion by the unlimited use of It In
he United States. In other words , he does
tot take Into consideration the fact the
Jnlted States Is In commVrclal standing
nore than t n times as great as MexfcoT'Snd
does not take Into consideration that an
ncreased dqmand , such as wojld be furnished
ly the United States , would affect the price
if that portion of silver which falls upon
he market. In estimating the amount ol
; od ! available for coinage annually he falls
o consider the great Increase In the con-
lumptlon of gold In the arts , and the Increase
n commerce In the last hundred years.
"What need Is there for bimetallism If the
gold standard will furnish a sufficient
imount of money ? The Confession that
bimetallism Is desirable destroys all argu-
nent advanced In behalf of gold monometal-
Ism , and when ono has admitted the desira
bility of bimetallism he must either favor
the restoration of It by the United States
alone , or submit the destinies of this people
to foreign nations. "

HOT SPRINGS , S. D. , May 24. ( Special
Telegram. ) General John D. Haw ley , gen
eral counsel of the Klkhorn , died suddenly
this afternoon , paraljsls of the heart being
the Immediate cause. He had just partaken
of a hearty dinner with his wlfo and
laughter In his room at the Evans , and was
feeling as well as usual , when ho suddenly
fell back in his chair and exclaimed , "My
God , " and expired. A physician was hur
riedly summoned , but arrived too late to beef
of any assistance. General Haw ley came
to Hot Spilngs with his wtfo and two
[ laughters two welts ago , hoping that the
change would benefit him. Wednesday ho
lad a slight attack of heart failure , but soon
rallied , and was nblo to walk out later. Ho
was feeling oven better than usual up to
the time of the fatal attack. Officials of the
Elkhorn were at once notified and prepara
tions wer made for the removal of the body
to Omaha. General Manager Hurt's private
car , which Is In the Hills , will arrive In the
city this e\cnlng to bear the remains and
members of the bereaved family to Omaha.
No definite arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral.
HIS LIFE AS A PUBLIC MAN.
John D. Haw ley was born In Fnlrfleld
county , Connecticut , February 9 , 1831 ; he
went to Illinois with his parents when quite
young ; studied law , and on coming to the
bar In 1S51 settled at Rock Island , 111. In
185G he was elected state's attorney , serving
tour years ; In 1CC1 he entered the union
nrmy as captain and took an nctUe part In
the battles of Forts Henry and Donelson , rc-
celv.ng Injuries In the last engagement which
made It necesasry for him to retire from
military duty In 1802 ; In 1SG5 ho was ap
pointed by President Lincoln postmaster of
Rock Island , and removed the year follow
ing by President Johnson. Always a staunch
partisan and In the forefront of the battles
for the advancement and preservation of the
union , the removal of himself from the post-
mastership of Rock Island launched him upon
the active sea of politics. A strong debater ,
an orator In Its best sense , when aroused , he
was elected to the Forty-first and Forty-sec
end congresses , and was re-elected to the
Forty-third congress n republican , receiving
12,404 votes against 8,203 votes for G D. A
Cox , liberal and democrat. Until General
Hawley took an active interest In the re
publican party the Seventh congressional dis
trict In Illinois was safely counted In the
democratic column , but General Hawley In
the strong work ho had done In securing the
bridge across the river at Rock Island and
locating a. government arsenal , had endeared
himself to the people of his district , and the
democratic Seventh became a factor In the
republican districts of the state of Illinois.
After leaving congress Genera ) Hawley't
health became somewhat Impaired and he
decided to give up the active life of the poll-
ttclatr'for { ho Tjuletcr path of the legal pro
fession , for which ho had been eminently
fitted , not only by the studious work neces
sary to the practitioner at the bar , but his
was the mind of n man able to grasp all the
subtleties and technicalities of the law. Hie
physicians counseled a rest and ha came back
to his old home In Rock Island determined
to bo less active In the busy affairs of life.
But his old love for the law asserted Itsell
anew , and he went to Chicago , where he
formed a partnership with Mr. James K ,
Edsall , the then attorney general of the
state of Illinois. Politicians will remember
the now justly celebrated case of Joe Mackln
who ach'eved ' notoriety as a ballot box stuffei
and manipulator of election returns. Tin
case was tried In the district court and the
defendant was convicted , and on March 21
1885 , was sentenced to pay a fine of $5,00 (
and to bo Imprisoned for two years In the
Jollet penitentiary. John n. Hawley was se
lected by a committee of representative cltl
zens to appear for the state , and , althougl
the sentiment was largely In favor of Macklr
and his nssoc ales engaged In the falslflcatlor
of the election returns , Mr. Hawley securei
conviction In the district court of the Unltet
States , but was reversed by the supreme
court , which held that ho should have beer
Indicted by the grand jury Instead of prose
cuted by Information , the case being reportec
at length In 177 United States Reports.
-A busy period of Mr. Hawley's life was tin
time when he occupied the position of firs
assistant to the secretary of the treasury
John Sherman. It was the period of resump
tton , and the act resuming specie paymen
had passed congress and been signed by tin
president. Before Mr. Sherman could outllni
the policy of the treasury ns to the rcsump
tlon of specie payments under the law , hi
was called jiway to the bedside of a dylm
relative , and the work of putting the law h
operation devolved upon Mr. Hawley , whlcl
ho accomplished to the often expressed de
light of Mr. Sherman , who years afterwan
paid John B. Hawley the most glowing com
pllments upon his Intelligence , his fidelity I
the work In hand , and the broad principle
of statesmanship which he showed In th
conduct of his office.
HIS NEBRASKA CAREER
In May , 1SSC , about a year after his trl
umph In the Mackln case , he removed ti
Fremont , ns general attorney for the Fre
mont. Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad
The general offices of the attorney for th
company remained In Fremont until June
1SSS , when they were removed to Omaha
and he has continued In the service of th
company , serving It faithfully and wel
until his death yesterday at Hot Springs
S. D.
He leaves n wife and three daughters
Hattle , Clara and Mary , who are womei
grown. Mrs. Hawley and his daughtc
Mary were with him at the time of hi
death , having gone to Hot Springs with th
general May 10 , on the advice of his physl
clan. Ho was last at the office on Januar ;
8 , having been taken with gastritis and wa
compelled to take to his bed at that time
From January until the first day of April h
was compelled to remain In bed , fears beln
entertained many times for his recovery
Finally the disease was conquered and h
began to regain lost strength , to a degree
but It Is presumed that tbe frame was no
able to stand the long continued strain upo
It , and that he died from exhaustion yee
terday.
After his advent In Omaha ho alway
manifested on active Interest In the promc
tlon of the growth of Nebraska and Its me
tropolls. While never thrusting hi nisei
Into prominence or seeking any honors o
recognition In party counsels , he retained a
active Interest In national politics , and wa
a keen observer of the political current !
Socially he was a modest , but genial gentle
man. While ho had occupied elevated pos
tlons at tbe national capital and had com
In contact with the foremost men of hi
time , bo had a retiring disposition and se
dom alluded to his past career except In tb
most modest way. and then only whe

At Elkhorn headquarters the news of hi

WASHINGTON. May 24. Hugh McCulloch
of Fort Wayne , Ind. , formerly secretary of
ho treasury , died shortlj before 3 o'clock this
nornlng. Death was calm and peaceful , the
patient being for some time previous In a
comatose condition.
No arrangements have yet been made for
the funeral and probably none will bo made
until the arrival of his daughter Mary. Slio
sailed for New York on the 18th , and will

row.Hugh McCulloch was born In Kcnnebunk ,
Me. , December 7 , 180S. Ho studied law In
Boston and at-the age of 25 came west and
settled at Fort Wayne , Ind. , whcro he be
came a banker. He resigned the presidency
of the Bank of the State of Indiana In May ,
1863 , to accept ofllco as comptroller of the
currency offered him by Secretary Chase.
In March , 1865 , on the resignation of Wil
liam P. Fessenden , President Lincoln ap
pointed Mr. McCulloch secretary of the
treasury. The go\eminent was at that time
In great financial embarrassment.
Heavy demands were pressing upon
a nearly empty treasury. In less
tlnn six months from his appointment ,
however , all the matured obligations of the
government had been paid , and the reduction
of the debt was begun. He advocated In his
annual reports a steady reduction of the na
tional debt , the retirement of legal tender
notes , and a speedy return to specie pay
ments , believing that It was not the busi
ness of the government to furnish the people
with n paper currency , which should be fur
nished by the banks. Ills views on this
point were sustained , but for n short time
only , by congress. Ills term of office expired
March 4 , 1865. During the ' 70's ho was en
gaged In banking In London. On the resigna
tion of Walter Q Gresham In October , 1SS4 ,
ho was again appointed secretary for the
remaining four or five months of President
Arthur's term. He was the only man who
ever held this ofllco twice. Since his retire
ment Mr. McCulloch had Ihed at Washington
and on his Maryland farm , writing exten
sively for the magazines on financial and
economic questions.

WHO WERE THE HENAY3P
Intrreallng Q icgtlon In f omiootlon with the
litmth of Mr" . Oibornc.
That there Is a mystery connected with the
explosion In the hou.'o . at Twenty-sixth and
Caldwcll streets , which occurred at midnight
on Thursday night and resulted In the burnIng -
Ing of Mrs. Osborno so severely that she died
of her Injuries yesterday morning , Is becom
ing firmly established In the minds of the
friends and neighbors who have been Investi
gating the matter.
The peculiar feature of the affair Is the
mysterious disappearance of the two roomers ,
the man and woman who wore known to the
Osbornos as William Henry and wife , no
trace of whom has yet been found. According
to the statement made by Mrs. Osborno jusl
before she died , both were In the house at the
time the explosion occurred. In fact , It wan
at the request of the woman that Mrs. Os-
borne lighted the gasoline stove In order tc
make a cup of tea for her and her suppose ,
husband. But no ono has so far been discov
ered who saw them leaving tha lion.- ' before
or after the explosion. No trace of ournei
oodles have been found In the debrlfl , and it
s the opinion of the fire chiefs that there
ivtuld bo something of the kind found It they
: iad been consumed , p. S. ( X-borne , the soi
of the dead woman , Is not at"all hesitant In
saying that the two had some connection
with the explosion , and that for these reasons
they are In hiding.
Yesterday an Incident occurred that is load
Ing the Investigators to believe that the Henrys
were not what they appeared to be. In tin
morning a messenger boy accosted ono of the
residents In the neighborhood and InqulreJ
for 2525 Caldwcll btrect. This Is the number
of the house that was burned The rcslden
asked tha boy what ho wanted and the lattci
answered that ho had a telegram for that ad
dress. He looked at the telegram and saw
that It was addressed to Henry Johnson , 252c
Caldwcll street. As there was no ono to re
celvo It , the boy returned the message to hi
office. In the afternoon two boys InqulicL
for the same adrct > 3 , and each had a tclegran
addressed to Miss Gertie Rccder.
The i-on , G. S. Osbornc , spoke about the
matter last night as follows"Wo did no
know the two people very well , but supposes
that their names were Henry , and that thej
were married. Henry was very reticent Ir
speaking about Ma business , but said that h
worked In the stock yards at South Omaha
He went away early In the morning and us
ually returned late at night. The woman re
malned In the house most of the time. Botl
were rather young , the man about 30 years o
age , and the woman 24 or 25. They began tc
room with us some six weeks ago , remaining
a month and then returned after an abscnc
of a week and a half , the day before the fire
I did not know either of them very well. "

can be no possible reason why the people or

monument before we piss away. We fought
for principle ; we thought we wore right then-
we know we were right now ; now don't any
body go away and say I made a rebellious
speech. I am no rebel ; I never was u rebel.
George Washington was n rebel , for he fought
against constitutional authority , and if he had
failed he would have ben exjoutod. We-
fought to establish constitutional authority.
If th ro were any rebels , they were north ot"
Mason and Dlxnn's line. "
