GEN. CHAPMAN DEAD.He Passed Away at His Home in

Madison After a ProlongedIllness.

Madison. Wis., May 13.—Gen. Chand-ler P. Chapman was stricken with asecond attack of paralysis last night, anddied soon afterwards.

He had been failing for the last fewdays, but his death came wholly unex-pected. In 1892 he suffered a stroke ofparalysis from which he never fully re-covered.

Gen. Chapman was born in Bristol. 0.,February 13, 1844. and came to Madisonwith his parents in 1846. When 16 years

old he went to war as hospital stewardwith his father, the surgeon of the fa-mous Iron Brigade, and remained therethree years. He was adjutant-generalduring Gov. Rusk’s administration andthe successful outcome of the Milwau-kee strike was largely due to his efforts.He was general manager of the NationalGrand Army encampment in Milwaukee.

Of late years Gen. Chapman has donemuch for the Loyal legion, of whose Mil-waukee chapter he was registrar. He wasa thirty-second degree Mason.

On September 11, 1866, Gen. Chapmanwas married to Miss Sarah Turner, who.with two children, Annie Turner andChandler 8., survives him. His motherdied in the winter of ’96. his only sistera yea'’ earlier and his father many yearsago.

The funeral will be held Friday after-noon at 2 o’clock at the Presbyterianchurch. Cos. G. First regiment, successorof the Lake City guards with whichGen. Chapman began his service in thestate militia, will turn out to the funeralin uniform. There will be no other mili-tary display.

Quite a large party made up of mem-bers of the Loyal legion from Milwau-kee is expected to attend the funeral,arriving in Madison in time for the serv-ices at 2:30 o’clock Friday afternoon.All companions of the order in the statehave been invited to attend.

Gen. Chapman’s services for the Wis-consin National guard elicited the fol-lowing appreciative notice from Gen.Charles King and was published in theWisconsin National Guard; ‘‘The re-naissance of the guard began in goodearnest in January, 1882. There wasmuch speculation as to the selection ofhis military staff by the newly-electedgovernor. When, therefore, the an-nouncement was flashed by telegraphthat Gov. Rusk had named Chandler I*.Chapman of Madison as his chief ofstaff, there was a shout of approval andrejoicing in every armory of the state,and the seven years that followed werefilled full with confirmation of their ear-liest faith.“It was Chapman who molded the

scattered battalions and companies intoregiments, each in its own district. Itwas Chapman who strove from the out-set to eradicate all the old mihtia paradeideas and to bring the guard to a busi-ness basis. It was Chapman who chosethe regular array as a standard for Wis-consin's soldiery, and he who firstbrought regular officers in as instruc-tors and ‘coaches’ of the raw command.It was he who, little by little, weaned‘the boys’ from their first loves—thetailed coat and plumed shakos, andtaught them to be men in the regulationdress of the regular service.

“It was he who devised the methods ofthe rapid mobilization of the guard;planned their service, uniform and equip-ment: exploded the old inspection systemand started the new one; instituted theregimental^camps with ‘regulars’ as drillmasters and coaches; originated the an-nual conventions and has presided overtheir deliberations from that time to this(1891), and it was he who fathered theimpulse that made practice with the riflethe most important item in the instructionof our guardsmen, and who was the lead-er in the movement that secured to ourstate soldiery the admirable tract of landtor our encampments and the rifle ranges,pronounced by every expert who has visit-ed them ‘unequaled in the whole coun-try’ ”

Russia’s New Ice-Plows.Admiral Makarof of the Russian navy

lias invented a species of ice-plow capa-ble of breaking through ice from 12 toeven 20 inches thick. The experimentshave proved so satisfactory that the gov-ernment has given orders for the imme-diate construction of two vessels, of 10,-000 horse power each, armed with theseplows, by means of which it is expectedto keep not only the River Neva, but alsothe various Muscovite ports, open to navi-gation throughout the winter. When oneremembers that the majority of Russia’sports and naval arsenals are iceboundduring more than four months of theyear, the importance of the admiral’s dis-covery will be appreciated in its truelight.

WILL BE NO RETALIATION.Mr. Ericke’s Views on the Insurance Li-

cense Trouble.

Madison. Wis., May 15.—[Special.]—Insurance Commissioner Fricke returnedtoday from a trip to Ohio and found onhis desk the letters from CommissionerO'Rear of Missouri, in regard to Mr.Frieke’s revocation of the license of theCitizens’ Insurance company of St. Louis.The letter was in effect similar to thestatements already made oy Mr. O’Rearto the press, except that it did not threat-en retaliation by revocation of license ofWisconsin companies doing business inMissouri. It did express the opinion thatMr. Pricke’s action had been hasty.

Mr. Fricke today sent Secretary Wag-goner ;f the Citizens’ company a letterin which he states that the company’sexplanation as to a cancellation of thepolicy on which the revocation is basedbeing the one, written on Milwaukeebusiness by Charles D. Cox, a Chicagoagent, is not satisfactory. Mr. Frickequotes from a letter as follows: “Thereis no question but that this company isopenly violating the law and has beenpersistently doing so, and I can prove itto your entire satisfaction if you desireto be informed.”

I quote from another letter, says Mr.Fricke, that the Citizens’ company ofSt. Louis has been accepting West Su-perior business from Duluth: “Therecan of course be no objection to your of-fering such explanations as you may de-sire and to take such steps as may resultin a reinstatement of your company un-der the law, but newspaper theats of re-taliation upon Wisconsin companiestransacting business in Missouri willhardly bring about this result since if thecommissioner was wrong in his decisionthe courts of this state offer every rem-edy.”

NO CLASH NECESSARY.State Treasury Agent Vernon’s

Opinion of the State Li-cense Laws.

Madison, Wis., May 14.—[ Special.l—Treasury Agent Ralph C. Vernon,

when asked today concerning severalnewspaper articles referring to peddlers’licenses, said they wex*e substantially cor-rect, excepting there is no possibility ofa clash between city and state authori-ties. He said:

If a city attempts to charge peddlers alicense whom the statute of the state ex-empts from paying such license, because oftheir having already obtained a license fromthe state, it is a question between the ped-dlers thus charged, and the city, and notbetween the state and the city.

The law is very clear; when peddlershave a state license, they are exempt fromany further license from towns, cities andvillages. It is true the statute makes oneor two exceptions, in cases of transient mer-chants, etc. The peddlers, particularly inMilwaukee, seem to have been led to believethat if the ordinance which has been underdiscussion for some time in Milwaukeeshould pass, they would not be required topay a state license which is not true. Thisinisundeistandiug, I have felt, might causeunnecessary trouble and expense to many ofthe peddlers; it is very clear, even if theyhave paid a city license, they are still liablefor a state licexwe.

I am very anxious the peddlers should ful-ly understand the situation, whether or notsuch ordinance is passed. As tb the pro-posed ordinance, I see that it has been re-ferred to the judiciary committee of thecouncil. I think, after that committee hasgiven the question a careful investigation,the ordinance will not pass, including allpeddlers, but will probably be amended toinclude only those who can be included ac-cording to the statute. I know of severalcities in the state that had ordinances whichincluded all peddlers. Some of the cities ar-rested peddlers who were not liable to thecity, under the statute, and I now call tomind three cities that suits were broughtagainst, by the peddler and a judgment ren-dered against the city in each case.

I know of no city in the state that has anordinance charging all classes of peddlers alicense, at the present time; but I know ofvery many cities that have changed their or-dinance since these cases were brought, Iwish to say that my department does notmean to interfere with any city ordinance;but this is a matter that is of great im-portance to all cities in the state, and nat-urally, tliis office has been informed, be-cause of the provision in the law exemptingthese pedd'ers from city license, and I havein accordance with what I felt to be myduty, informed them as to their rights, un-der their state license, according to the stat-ute of Wisconsin. I think there will be notrouble whatever with the Milwaukee ordi-nance, after it has been determined upon,because it will, no doubt, be one that willnot conflict with the statute.

TO SELL STATE LANDS.Appraiser* will be Appointed by the

Land Commissioner*.Madison, Wis., May 14,—[Special.]—

The state board of land commissioners,consisting of Secretary of State Casson,State Treasurer Peterson and Attorney-General Mylrea, together ' with Gov.Scofield, met Thursday afternoon forthe purpose of appointing appraisers toestimate the lumber on the state parklauds and the so-called Spooner land,in accordance with the law passed bythe last Legislature providing for theestimating, appraisal and sale of theselands. For the purpose of avoiding anypossible connivance the commission de-cided not to appoint as appraisers anymember of a lumber company, employeof such company, or any man buyingor selling lumber, or his employe; ap-praisers must he recommended by repu-table lumbermen, who will declare theirwillingness to buy upon their appraisal;each appraisers estimate must be pub-lished, so that the buyer will know onwhose judgment he is relying. The ap-praisers are to ho under the directionof Chief Clerk Wyman of the land of-fice and Chief Trespass Agent Ed. Mul-len.

Ten appraisers have been selected bythe commission for the state park andfive for the Spooner lands, but theirnames are withheld until they have qual-ified, which must be by the 25th inst.It is expected that it will then takeabout thirty days to make the estimatesand ninety days more to sell tvie tim-ber. The commissioners may decide tosell on]y the timber at present and tohold the lands until they are more valu-able than they are today.

CONGRESS.Senate.

The Morgan Cuban resolution was dis-cussed at considerable length in the Senateon the 10th. For the first time since thedebate began, the opposition sentiment ex-pressed ilself. The speeches were not of akind to stimulate the galleries, being in themain calm and dispassionate reviews of thesituation in Cuba. Air. Vest later securedan agreement to a resolution directing thecommittee on commerce to inquire into thecause of the recent floods on the Mississippiriver and report to the Senate next De-cember. Mr. Goar of lowa gave notice thathe would move to take up the Senate billfor the settlement of claims growing outof bonds to aid iu the construction of theCentral Pacific and Western Pacific rail-roads. Air. Chandler (Rep., N. H.) fromthe committee on census reported a billfor taking the twelfth census. A resolu-tion was agreed to requesting the secretaryof war for information as to the stepstaken to locate a deep water harbor atPort Los Angeles, or San Pedro, Cal., inaccordance with the report of a commis-sion.

The Cuban question occupied the entire at-tention of the Senate on the 11th, the debatetaking a wide range, and at times becomingspirited when comparisons were made be-tween the attitude of the former adminis-tration and the present one, on the subjectof Cuba. Senators Alorrill of Vermont andCaffery of Louisiana spoke in opposition tothe resolution; Senators Lodge of Massa-chusetts and Foraber of Ohio advocated de-ferring the question until further informa-tion could be secured from the state depart-ment, and Senators Mills of Texas and Al-len of Nebraska urged the immediate pas-sage of the resolution. The debate wentover until the following day.

In the Senate on the 12th the Sugar Inves-tigation of 1894 was recalled by the intro-duction of a resolution by Air. Allen of Ne-braska reciting the circumstances of the in-vestigation. the refusal of E. R, Chapmanto testify, his conviction in the courts as acontumacious witness, and the present ef-forts toward his pardon. The resolutionproposes that Chapman be brought to thebar of the Senate to purge himself of con-tumacy as a pre-requisite to pardon. Air.Allen sought to secure immediate action onthe resolution, but it went over on objec-tions from Air. Gallinger of New Hampshireand Air. Hoar of Alassachusetts. The lattercriticised the resolution as giving away theauthority of the Senate and said he wouldpropose an amendment with a view to hav-ing Chapman punished unless he purgedhimself of contempt without reference tothe question of pardon. The considerationof the resolution will be in order on the 13tli.

After a long period of calm, the Senatewas considerably agitated on the I3th, firstby a discussion of the Senate sugar investi-gation, and then by a preliminary skirmishon the tariff bill. The Alien resolution tobring Elverton R. Chapman before tite barof the Senate was debated in somewhat mo-notonous style until Air. Tillman of SouthCarolina gave interest to the subject by re-ferring to reports that senators, within thelast week, had speculated in sugar stock.The Alorgan Cuban resolution formally wentover nntil 2 o’clock Tuesday, at the requestof Senator Alorgan.

blouse.The House on the 10th resumed the trans-

action of public business which had beensuspended since the Indian appropriationbill was sent to conference tnree weeksago. The consideration of the Senateamendments to the sundry civil appropria-tion bill was entered upon under a specialorder providing for a recess each day untildisposed of. Air. Simpson of Kansas pur-sued ids tactics of the last few weeks at-tempting to harass the majority withpoints of no quorum, but without success,and the Democratic lack of harmony onthe subject of party policy was again inevidence.

The consideration of the Senate amend-ments to the sundry civil appropriation billwas finished by the House on the 11th, andthe bill sent to a conference. PresidentCleveland’s forest reservation order was thesubject of much debate and the Housevoted not to concur in the Senate amend-ment. to annul the order with the under-standing that the conferees should arrangean amendment which would have the sameeffect. The debate on this subject followedclosely the lines of that of yesterday. It wasparticipated in almost exclusively by West-ern members, who pointed out the injury topresent settlers that would rcsuL if Presi-dent Cleveland’s order should become oper-ative. Several amendments were offeredbut withdrawn. Short speeches criticisingPresident Cleveland’s order were made. Theamendment for an appropriation of $50,000to improve Pearl harbor in the Hawaiianislands was rejected by a vote of 85 to 53.Air. Hitt of Illinois earnestly urged the im-portance of taking steps to confirm the titleof this government to the harbor in view ofthe Senate proposal to abrogate the Hawai-ian treaty.

The Indian appropriation hill was disposedof by the House on the 13th, with the ex-ception of the provision for opening theUtah gilsonite lands, which was postponedtill Monday. The conference report whichestablishes an Indian warehouse at Omaha,ratlin's the lease of the Seneca oil lands,and if.ids one judge to the Indian Territorycourts, was adopted by a vote of 54 to 47.Mr-. Simpson (Pop., Kas.) endeavored to re-new his attack upon the speaker for failingto appoint committees and censured theRepublicans for not mustering a quorum.He was declaring there were more Demo-crats and Populists than Republicans pres-ent when the speaker sustained the pointhe was out of order. Representative Castleof California Introduced a joint resolutionfor the recognition of the belligerent rightsof the Cubans. It declares it to be the policyof the United States to recognize the bellig-erent rights of all oppressed people strug-gling for liberty.

An important decision concerningrights in trademarks and names of prep-arations has been rendered by the Phil-adelphia Court of Common Pleas re-straining George A. Hires, a namesakeof Charles E. Hires, from manufactur-ing and selling a preparation under thename of Hires Rootbeer. In their de-cision the judges said: It is establishedthat an article of commerce known as“Hires Rootbeer,” by a long and costlymethod of advertisraent, has attained atrademark and value peculiar to itself.The sales have reached an extraordinaryyearly volume. The respondent Hires, akinsman of the plaintiff, is about to man-ufacture and place on the market forsale a root beer which in all the exter-nals of physical preparation might betermed a complete reproduction of theplaintiff’s preparation and device. Thetestimony in the case, w 7 e think, makesit indubitably clear that the respondent’spurpose was to fabricate an article oftrade which resembled the plaintiff’s ar-ticle, and thereby deceive and misleadpurchasers. We find, therefore, that theallegations of the plaintiff’s bill axe es-tablished and that the temporary in-junction prayed for should be awarded.
