AN KXECL'TIXE OKDEK.
TAe following executive order
was issued this afternoon through
the secretary of state and sent to
all other heads of departments:
Sik: Hon William Windom,
secretary of the treasury of the
United States, died suddenly last
night, in the city of New York, at
the hour of eleven minutes pnst
ten o'clock, in the 04th year of his
age. Thus has passed away a man
oi pure life, oflicially, stainless in
tegrity, distinguished by loi g and
eminent service in both branches
of congress, and being twice
called to administer national
finances. His death has caused
deep regret throughout the coun
try, while to the president and
those associated with him in the
administration of the government
it comes as a personal sorrow.
The president directs that all de
partments of the executive branch
of the government and oflicers
subordinate thereto shall manifest
due respect to the memory of this
eminent citizen in a manner to com
port with the dignity of the office
lie had honored by his devotion to
public duty. The president fur
ther directs that the treasury de
partment in all branches of the
capital be draped with mourning
for a period of thirty days ; that on
the day of the funeral the several
executive departments shall be
closed, and that on all public
buildings throughout the United
States the national flag be dis
played at half-ma9t.
CONGRESS ADJOURNS.
Immediately alter the reaJ '
of the journal the senate ad
journed as a mark of respect to
the late Secretary Windom.
In his opening paper, Chaplain
Rev. G. J. Butler referred vv
feelingly to the death of the-ec-retary.
After a few affecting words of
tribute to the worthy deceased
secretary of the treasury by Rep
sentative Dunnell, of Minnesota,
the house, on motion of McKin
ley, as a mark of respect to the
deceased, also adjourned.
DEEP REGRET IS NEW YORK.
New York, January 30. At
a meeting of the board of
trade and transportation commit
tee this afternoon, a resolution
eulogistic ot the public life of Wil
liam Windom was adopted. The
resolution in closing says: "As
secretary of the treasury under
President Harrison, he labored
courageously and successfully to
avert a widespread panic in a sea
son of threatened financial trouble.
He died in speaking earnest and
honest words, and he fell at his
post of duty as truly as a soldier
falls on the battle field."
Previous to the adoption of the
resolution, ex-Secretary of State
Bayard, in a brief speech, paid a
glowing tribute to the memory of
the deceased. F. B. Thurber, in

CIIAKI.K3 BRADLAIOII HEAD.
The Eminent English Free-Thinker
Passes Away.
London, Jan. 30. Charlee
Bradlaugh died at six o'clock tt is
morning. At the moment of the
coming of death Bradlaugh was in
a state of insensibility. Arrange
ments are partially effected to

scription, and there will be neither
procession, mourning emblems
nor funeral Bervice.
Charles Bradlaugh, the eminent
English atheist and republican,
was born in JIuxton, London,
September 20, 1833. He developed
an early taste for politics, and at
the age of 15 he appeared as an
orator before street audiences dur

At the afternoon session of the

an appropriation of $12,000 for the
purchase of the state fair grounds.
lne joint committee on wagon
road appropriations have com
pleted their reKrl. The amount
reported by the committee forcon
sideration of the legislature is
$07,000.
The re-apportionment bill in
course of preparation will probably
make few changes in the present
arrangements. Superintendent of
Census Porter has been communi
cated with and in reply insists
that the state be re-apportioned
according to the June census, no
notice being taken of the recount
of Salem and Multnomah county.
A majority of the committee is in
clined to this view and the bill
will probably be reported on that
basis. As regards the division of
the state into two congressional
districts it is practically agreed
upon by placing the whole of
Eastern Oregon and Columbia
river counties into one district,
and the Willamette valley and
Southern Oregon counties, includ
ing Klamath and Lake, into a
second.

A STINGING REBUKE.
THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMIS
SIONERS SCORED.
They Attacked Mr. Wannatnaker
and Were Told by the President
to Mind Their Own Business.
Washington, Jan. 30. A few
days ago the Po6t of this city con
tained an article saying that Pres
ident Harrison had severely re
buked thelcivil Bervice commis
sioners for their action in
attacking Postmaster - General
V;mamaker throuih the news-
7V .Mr. Harrison was al-
iegipj have said that he "pre
terred to have the commissioners
mind t.ieirown brsiness and not
to be making war upon the admin
istration, and more to the same ei
lect The truth of the publication
was promptly denie l by the com
missioners, "and since that time
Edgar Hatton has dared them to
make a denial under oath.
The fact is that the president
did administer a stinging rebuke
to Chairman l,ynch, and all the
commissioners must have been
aware of it. The man who is re
swnsible for the leak by which
the public was placed in possession
of the facts about the interview
between the president and Lyman
is no other than Russell Hairison.
When Lyman called at the White
House a few days after the letter
to Wannamaker was published,
the president took him to task and
told him the commission was ex-;
ceeding its powers by attacking
Wannamaker in the public press.
The president was very emphatic
in declaring that he did not pro
pose to have them attack bis ad
ministration in that way. He
gave Lynch such a scoring as fie
has not received in a long time.
Lyman was naturally not anxious
to have the facta made public.
Russell Harrison, however, who
was in tte city at the time, and
was aware of what had taken
place, considered the matter too
good to keep. The result of
his talkativeness was the
publication of the facts in the
Post. Messrs. Roosvelt and
Thompson emphatically denied the
truth of the publication, while
Lyman gave a general sort of
denial, which made the story ap
pear even more probable. Its
corroboration now places all mem
bers of ihe commission in an un
enviable position, and would seem
to make them amenable to more
of the president's discipline.
"KEEP OFF THE GRASS."
The Teople Warned Not to Enter
the Cherokee Strip.
Washington, Jan. 30. The sec
tetaryofthe interior has issued
orders directing that all persons
not having proper authority be

tary affairs has reported favorably
