WHITNEY ; DIES SUDDENLY Illustrious Lawyer and Diplomat Passes Away Under an Operation End Comes While Patient is Unconscious (Journal Special NervW.) New York. Feb. 3. WIlllMm C. Whit wy died at his home at S71 Fifth ave nue this city at 4 o'clock yesterday af ternoon. The death removes a character prominent for many years in American politics; an illustrious man of many af fairs and a diplomat. He wan a prominent lawyer, ex-secre- tary of the navy under Cleveland and a reputed sportsman. Mr. Whitney's death was not expected until yesterday morn ins! when a con sultation of physicians pronounced that a "second operation for appendicitis would be have to be hazarded in order to avo his life. The attempt was made but the patient, who was 63 years of . age,- .succumbed under the ordeal and passed away in an unconscious state The Illustrious dead was taken sudden ly 111 Friday night last while at the per formance of "Rigoletto" at the Metropol itan Opera house. He was compelled to leave the theatre and seek his home. HiB family physician was called. Dr. Walter B. James, who. after consulting ether prominent medioal men decided 1 that an operation for nppendieftis would be necessary. Dr. William T. Bull per formed the operation. The. patient ral- lied but on Monday he grew worse and the second operation was determined. Yesterday Mr. Whitney's condition was fcio critical that Harry Payne Whitney . and Miss Dorothy Whitney, son and . daughter of the sick man were called to his bedside. His death came at 4 o'clock yesterday while he was under the Influence of ther, ' " ' After It became known that Mr. Whit ney, was dead many prominent people railed at the" residence, among whom were ex-Secretary of War Root. Corne llua Vanderbtlt and several representa tlves of . the New York Democratic club. Mr. Whitney was born at Conway, Mass., July 15, 1841. He completed his courts at Yale In 1(63 ,and was gradu ated by Harvard law school tn 1865. He was admitted to ttie bar and practiced In 'New York City. He assisted in or .iganixing the Young Men's Democratic ' clubs In 1871. Was very active in the movement against the Tweed ring. He was defeated for district attorney In 1872. He was corporation counsel, 1875 : it). He was secretary of the navy, 1885-89. t William Collins Whitney, ex-secretary of the navy, was born at Conway, Mass., ; July 15,. 1841. He was a descendant In the eighth generation from John Whlt - . rey, one of the leaders of the English Puritans who settled in Watertown, Mass., in 1635. His father was Brig. . Gen. James Scollay Whitney, who. In .1854, was appointed by President Pierce ' Superintendent of the United States ar mory at Springfield, Mass., and in 1860 became collector of the port of Boston on nomination of President Buchanan. Upon his mother's side his ancestry goes , back 'to William Bradford, governor of Plymouth colony. Mr. Whitney was . educated at Willlston seminary. East 'Hampton, Mass., at Yale college, where ..lie was graduated in 1863. and at Har . vard university law school, which he left in 186S. His Says at Tale. ' During Mr. Whitney's days at Yale his constant companion and chum was William Graham Sumner, and It has of . ten been said that this association was responsible for his joining the Demo- cratlo party. He distinguished himself while at college as a scholar, and di vided honors with Sumner. After leav ing the law school he went to New York and entering the firm of Abraham R. Lawrence, he took up corporation law. There he came to know many of the leading Democrats of the party, and made his first acquaintance with Sam vel J. TUden. It has been said of Mr. Whitney that . his marriage to Miss Flora Payne, daughter of Senator Henry B. Payne of Ohio, a Standard OH magnate, was pne.ofthe most brilliant successes he ever achieved. Senator Payne took a fancy to his new son-in-law nd under his guidance Mr. Whitney began to make money at a rate which soon placed him among the millionaires. Whitney's first meeting with Cleve land was at a convention in Utlca. at which Cleveland was nominated for gov ernor of the state. Whitney was called home by a telegram saying his wife was dangerously 111, and before leaving he went into the room of Daniel Manning to say a parting word about tho can didates. He was bitterly opposed to Flower, who was the Tammany man. Whitney the AngeL In the Cleveland campaigns ISM and 1892 Whitney was the angel. He got the money, lie forced the rich Demo crats to give money. He got money from all sorts and conditions of men, nd plenty of It. There was no better campaign provider In tho world than Whitney, And another thing lie knew how to place the money where it would do the most good. In the last Cleveland campaign he contributed no less than $250,001) from his own private funds to ward the election of his friend. As soon as Cleveland learned of his reelection he telegraphed to Whitney to know if he would accept the portfolio of secretary of state. Whitney declined. He also declined, the post of ambassador to the Court of St.- James. Whitney could have hsd any office in the gift of the president, but none suited him. When Mr. Whitney entered Cleveland's cabinet in 1886 as secretary of the navy, lie at once became a famous man and a social lion. While to him is generally given the credit tf having made the American navy, there are those who claim to know that the plans which Mr. Whitney worked out were originated by ' Mr. Chandler. However that may be. Open Sores can be cleaned out, the suppura tion stopped, and a cure effected . by the use of Only morbid matter is destroyed by this marvelous germicide, which allows Nature to build up healthy tissue.

Address rlll-'lhiMi MMalnaTrNlMMM. the fact that the organization and equip ment of the navy under his admlnistra tlon of the affairs of that department made It one of the finest in the world. He aimed to restore to the United States the prestige as a uaval. power which the country formerly enjoyed and above all things making it Independent of the rest of the world for supplies In case of war. As Secretary of the Wary. When he became secretary he found that neither armpr, nor the forgings for high-power "guns, nor the rapid-fire iruns constituting the secondary battery, could be produced on this side of the Atlantic. Resolutely declining to place any contracts abroad, and stipulating for American production in every In stance, there necessarily was a consid erable delay in beginning the new ships; but in 1887. by embracing In one con tract all the armor and gun Steel au thorised by the two previous congresses, he Induced the Bethlehem . Iron works to assume the expenditure for new plant of . $4,000,000 or. $5,000,000, and had the satisfaction of securing all that the government needed from a home lnstl-tutlon--rthe largest and finest kind in the world one of better quality than had ever before been produced any where. American cltisens and ship builders were invited to submit designs and modelafor the new vessels, con struction by private parties was espe cially stipulated on the Pacific coast, and as a supplement to all this the navy yards at New York and Norfolk. Va., were also equipped for steel and Iron shipbuilding of every type and size. Pather-ln-Law's Ambition. It was Colonel Payne's ambition that his daughter and her husband should entertain on a scale that would eclipse any other household in Washington, and this they succeeded In doing. They so far outshone the president that he was a lesser light in social comparison, it was Mr. Whitney who directed the growth of Washington towards the northwest part of the city and the su burbs beyond when It had been In tended by IEnfant that It should grow In the other direction. He purchased the property which now belongs to the Country club and made it his country home. Others of fashion, the president included, followed suit, and to this day property in that section of the District brings fabulous prices. The first part of Mr. Whitney's great fortune he made from street railway deals and investments. The Old Domin ion coal mine, .which he purchased in Nova Scotia and floated in Wall street, also brought him large wealth. A Kan of Fashion. In appearance Mr. Whitney was ever the man of fashion. With the excep tion of his period of mourning for his first wife he has been a leader of so ciety and always a conspicuous figure at Important gatherings. In the early part of his political career, when It was often necessary for him to go into the down-town districts of .New York, he alwsys went dressed in the height of fashion, and made himself more popu lar with the element in that section than if he had endeavored to stimulate them. Of late years racing norses has been his fad, and in his death the country loses one of Its most prominent turf men. He maintained one of the finest stables in the racing world and has worked ny needed reforms on the track. His extensive hunting-preserves were also celebrated. About two years ago Mr. Whitney completed one of the most palatial homes on Fifth avenue, and opened It with a magnificent ball given In honor of the coming out of his step-daughter. Miss Randolph. Just why Whitney turned against Til den has never been known. He learned all he knew about politics from Til den and was a regular protege of his. His methods were ever the same as Til- den's, and he -was never a theoretical politician. He was fully as practical as Hanna. - He was never elected to an office. He became a leader by common consent, but Just how he accomplished it the Democrats could new tell. Many attributed It to his application of busi ness principles to politics, while others deemed it his willingness to "put up" and make others do the same. CORPORATION TAX CASE UNDEFENDED Judge Cleland In tho circuit court to day granted a decree by default In tho suit brought by Multnomah county, to collect a corporation tax from the Port land Tannery company. District Attor ney Manning stated that the suit had been brought as a test case, and that no appearance had been made for the com pany. District Attorney Manning stated to day that he would bring no more until so directed by the secretary of state. "I am merely acting under orders," he explained. "It Is for the secretary of state to take the initiative, 1 will bring the cases any time he directs." SHOOTS AT PARTNER (Continued from Page One.) they were met by the man with the pis tol, who ordered them below again. By this time Carroll had gone with a part ing "Now, you get out" from Drey fus. Miss O'Connor, thinking that Dreyfus had gone, walked up to the salesroom In a few minutes, where she noticed Dreyfus calmly wailing on two women customers. In a short time he used the telephone, she says, then he met a wo man and walked down Seventh street.. After Carroll had Bworn out a war rant for Dreyfus' arrest the paper was placed in the hands of the police. At noon Dreyfus appeared at the police station, giving himself up, stating that he heard he was wanted. As soon as the shooting occurred word was sent to the police, and Offi cer Quintan, went post haste. He found the store filled with smoke, but no marks of bullets. ' , , W. O. W.

T FACE THE ALL NIGHT ISSUE rWEITOS OF ALL WIGHT SALOOV3 WILL FOBCE THE MATTE OK THE COUHCH. AND DISCOVBB THE XEKBEBS' STAND MA YOB. IS EE POSTED ADVEBSE TO LICENSE. ,One of the most interesting questions which will come up before the city coun cir this afternoon is the proposed ordi nance licensing saloon for "all ' night" privileges, as introduced by Councilman Merrill yesterday before the liquor li cense committee. There is no other matter of public In terest at the present time which is likely to cause more discussion or arouse a greater interest. It has seen a ouga. boo in the minds of- the authorities for a long time, but has always been shelved without requiring any of the officials to commit themselves one way or the other. The friends of the measure are now so insistent upon a hearing that it looks as if the disagreeable topic could no longer be avoided. The general impres sion is that Mayor Williams will In stantly veto the measure, even should It pass the council. It was rumored that the liquor license committee would hold a special- session just previous to the council meeting and prepare a report upon the ordinance, and this will likely be done. H. F. VARWIG TO BE BURIED IN PORTLAND H. F. Varwlg, who died on a Southern Pacific train at Paso Robles, Cal., yesterday- morning while en route to Ari zona with his wife, was well known in H. F. VARWIQ. this city through his long residence and business activity. .Mr. Varwig was 40 years pf age at the time of his death and came with his father to Portland In 186$, the family then leaving their old home at Sacramento, Cal., where he was born. Mr. Varwlg in 1886 took a posi tion In the First National bank, which he held until 1890, when he assumed the position of teller in Portland Savings bank, which place he held until 1895, when the Institution dissolved. Since that time he has been associated with his father and brothers In the Varwig wholesale liquor house. Living relatives of Mr. Varwlg are his widow, Mrs. May Varwlg, two brothers, Louis and T. P.

SPOKANE EIGHT MOBAL LEAQT7E SUCCEEDS XX DBIVINO AW AT INMATES Or THE BED-LIOKT DISTBIOT PBOPEBTT OWHEBS WEBB THE ONES AT TACHES IN THB GAME. (Jonrnil Special Serrlce.) t Spokane. Feb. 3. The ministers of Spokane have won their fight against the dives. The landlords have given up the contest and the women have been ordered to go. Some have gone already. The red-light district presents a de serted appearance today to what it has In the years gone by. While there are a few cribs occupied, the lessees have refused to take any, rent, which Is con strued as an order to move. The cribs In the Daniel and Yale blocks, as well as the two In the Coeur d'Alene build ing, are deserted. Those in the Main block and the Paris hallway are still occupied, but Eugene Aiken, the lessee, has refused to accept any rent. "The police can order the tenants out If they wish," said Mr. Aiken. "I am not going to bring any proceedings. I have simply refused to accept the rents from tho Paris hallway and from the Main build ing." Despite that fact, two warrants were issued Monday afternoon both for renting the cribs in the Main block but for different days. One warrant was also Issued for Maud Butler for renting cribs In the Paris hallway. Attorney Simpson for the ministers stated that Aiken would be prosecuted whether he accepted rent or not, as he was permit ting the women to stay there and. pi J their vocation and under the law he could be punished. There la no doubt, however, that in a day or two these last two cribs would be cleaned out. There is some talk of another warrant for R. T. Daniel, but as he has ordered the women out of his buildings he will prob ably not be prosecuted further. At a meeting of the preachers' association a committee of live to act as alternates to the regular committee of five in the matter of tho prosecution of the land lords of the alley dives was selected. Etstt Say In Court. ' Dr. George R. Wallace made a tfk' to the meeting, in which It was stated that it was necessary to be represented In the police court every day, and that sometimes It was necessary for a mem ber of the regular committee to be ab sent. For this reason he asked for a committee of five to act as alternates to be In the police court whenever they can, and especially when members of the regular committee were absent. He de clared it the intention of the preachers to fight to a finish, if it took six months or a year. By a finish he explained that he meant Until all the cribs are done away with. The preachers have as yet talken no action in regard to a crusade against the parlor houses. The follow ing committee of five was appointed: Rev. D. W. Berry, Rev. J. H. Dills, Rev. A. N. Smith, Rev. W. H. Fry, Dr. O. W. Van Osdell. A motion was passed to formally accept the offer of the Salva tion Army and the Crlttenton home to care for as many of the fallen women as wish to lead better lives. To this end a committee composed of Rev. G, W. Griffen, Rev. J. W. Allen, Rev. S. M. Ware and Dr. O. W. Van Osdell was Ap pointed a finance committee to pay the expenses of keeping tho women. Some of the women are defiant and In sist that they will not leave town, but will walk the streets. Others say they have no place to go and do not know whet to do. Still others declare that they will leave on the first train and thus avoid danger of arrest on the streets. Those of tho women who re fuse to move Will be liable to arrest, as tho preachers' committee says that ,lt will resort to these means if necessary HOO-HOO AT ST. LOUIS. (Journal Special SerTicc.)

J TELLS HOW KB BBOYB OUT THB BEDS "I SHOULD LXXE TO LIVE HEBE," HE SAYS. John Hlnckllff, ex-mayor of Faterson, N. J., who drove the anarchists out of his city, is spending a few days In Port land with hla friend, Charles Sweeney of Spokane. Mr. IIInckllfT will leave this evening for Spokane, where he has mining Interests. Mr. IIInckllfT, looks the picture of the successful business man. For years lie has been Identified with prominent Interests In Faterson and has achieved success. In politics he Is considered the strongest Democrat In his natlVe city,- holding tha office of mayor for seven years, only retiring on the first of the present year. While not engaged In state politics to any de gree, his counsels are always sought And his power is felt throughout the entire commonwealth. In speaking of . the Northwest Mr. Hlnckllff grew enthusiastic. "It Is a slice of heaven," said he, "and I love to visit this country. . The ad vantages In climate, freedom, opportuni ties and natural attractions make Port land and this entire valley tha Ideal spot of this continent. I would like very much if convenient to live out here all the time. "While the natural beauty of the Northwest Is alluring, there lav another reason why I love to Come here, and that Is to see my old-time chum, Mr. Sweeney. We grsw up together in Paterson and attended tha same school. When the war brake out Sweeney left school and went to the front, being only 15 years old. Afterwards he drifted westward and became interested- In min ing In California. He soon made friends with the prominent mining men of the golden state and on expanding his Inter ests took him to Virginia City, Port land, Spokane and all through tha great mineral belt. At present he Is president of the Federal Mining company. We meet hero for a few days when I come West and review the friendships of youth. . "I read) this morning of tha death . of ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney with deep regret, as I had known him and always admired his nplenaid manhood and great, business ability. H war a Democrat through and through." ' Regarding the driving out of the an archists the ex-mayor said: "On ; ac count of tTte closeness of Faterson to New York City, thes.jnen, after being. P u R E H O N E Y driven from . the metropolis.-- found Paterson a suitable place for the foster, lug and spreading of their. creed. After the riot in June. 1902, I suspended the chief of police and set the entire depart ment hot after ihe anarchists, with orders to drive them out. and In a few days they had disappeared entirely from our city. Tho task was not very diffi cult, as the police worked quickly and quietly and gave them a great round-, ing up."
