It was indeed fortunate for the World's Columbian Exposition that Lyman J. Gage was a member of the first Board of Directors.

1S43 and settled in Milwaukee. He acquired his fortune in Milwaukee real estate and the lumber and salt business, in which he was interested at the time of his death. His affairs have been managed by John Mason Loomis of Chicago, who was his partner in the Pere Marquette Lumber company. The Town of Ludington, where his lumber business was carried on. was named after him.

Mr. Ludington never married, and lived at different hotels. He was a boarder at the Newhall House when the fatal fire occurred. The second shock of paralysis had rendered him helpless some time before the fire. He had to be carried to the Kirby House and shortly afterward was removed to tbe Plankinton.

That was eight years ago, and since that time he left his room only once, when the laundry of the hotel caught fire. His receipts from the sale of Milwaukee real estate during the last five years amount to over $100,000. His property in Ludington, which consists principally of improved real-estate, is estimated to be $150,000 appropriated by Congress last year. This item also appeared: The officers of the National Commission have agreed to the following reductions of salarv ence. His protests were unavailing, and his thoroughly appreciated plea that his official duties to another great corporation were even then a burden beyond his physical strength, were unrecognized.

Preeminently, in this instance, the office sought the man," and Mr. gracefully yielded to the unanimous demand of his fellow-directors, supported as it was by the equally unanimous voice of the great public behind them. The wisdom of our choice is shown by the records of this corporation. He has given to the discharge of his official duties his constant labor, his broad and comprehensive intelligence, and his untiring loyalty of purpose, and as presiding officer he has been uniformly courteous and considerate. He came into office at the unanimous request, and retires with the unanimous regret, of the Board of Directors.

His last official act, refusing all compensation, is only characteristic of the man generous, unselfish, and thoroughly loyal to the best interests of a World's Exposition in of the supernatural power which her Majesty supposed hira to possess, to obtain for France a treaty favorable to French interests. M. de Vilers and the French Government are now trying to minimize the prestidig-itateur's part in the transaction, but Caz-eacuve threatens to publish Bome compromising correspondence which will substantiate his claim. FOR A NEW IRISH PARTY. Scheme of Dillon, O'Brien, and GUI to Settle the Existing Quarrel.

Bewast, April 1. A movement is on foot in this city to form an independent political party, under the leadership of Dillon, O'Brien, and Gill. The idea is that in this party all the members should sink their differences and devote themselves to the common cause of Ireland's good. It is not likely that this scheme will go beyond its initial stage. Cohk, April 1.

The Rev. Mr. Humphreys of Tipperary has written to the newspapers a letter, in which he says that he wonders that every court-house in Ireland has not been burnt down. He evidently desires to convey the impression that the disaster in the house in this city was a judgment of Heaven. SCBYIVOBS ARRIVE AT LAKHIPUB.

In the morning the remains were removed from the Plankinton residence to Calvary Presbyterian Church, where the coffin was laid on a bier of flowers.

For three hours, until the church doors were closed at 1 o'clock, the aisles were crowded by rich and poor together. Thousands viewed the remains as they lay in state. At 1 :30 o'clock the church doors were reopened, but it was necessary to station befor them a guard of police to keep back the immense crowds that thronged the streets for blocks. Only the friends of the family, besides the various associations, could be accommodated in the church. except what had been approved by a majority or five members of the board.

McKenzie rose in his dignity and demanded that the whole report be published. Mr. Lannan of Utah declared that to print 300 copies would cost $1,200, $1 per pamphlet. Mr. Harrison held that it would cost $12,000.

More time was consumed and then Commissioner Allen's motion prevailed and the report will be printed and considered thir afternoon. When the decks had once more been cleared for action Miss Phoebe Couzins' protest against the action of the Board of Control in making by-laws for the Board of Lady Managers was read. The substance of Miss Couzins' objections has been published. Miss Couzins' argument is that the Executive Committee of the commission, having authorized the Board of Lady Managers to go ahead with its organization, tho ladies did bo. They appointed officers and adopted by-laws.

Then, Miss Couzins says, the Board of Control came along and defined the powers and duties of the Board of Lady Managers.

The Soldi today, discussing the Manipur massacre, says that it regards that disaster, as an indication of the spread ideas of political emancipation, and thinks it probable that a well organized party will spring up, claim India for the Indians, and thus imperil England's domination. Gbasss, April 1. Queen Victoria was greatly affected when the news of the massacre at Manipur was communicated to her. The Queen subsequently forbade the usual military band performance which takes place every evening before the balcony where she is in the habit of sitting. LABORITES COME TO BLOWS.

Mr. Kiehle read the psalm beginning, 'God is my refuge and strength," and a selection from Corinthians.

The choir sang "Rock of Ages," and Mr. Kiehle delivered an eloquent eulogy on the deceased, in which he said I dare not speak of our dear friend as my heart prompts me for fear I should not be able to control my feelings. We never shed tears over a rich man just because he is rich. But look at these men in this assembly that have wrought with him, and what a bodyguard of affection do they present.

During the course of the morning's debate the congress, when the matter was put to a vote, refused Deputy Law's offer to attend the meeting of the miners' delegates and to assist in the deliberations of the Congress.

It was finally laid on the table, and will be taken up today. Secretary Dickinson made a supplementary report which reviewed the action of the several States in regard to appropriations. When Missouri was reached Com Bullene of that State said he had just received information that the Legislature had passed a bill appropriating $150,000. New Jersey's little $20,000 appropriation caused Commissioner Smith to take the floor. 4That looks small," he said, "but it is only a starter, and next year an additional appropriation will be made." An Iowa Commissioner took occasion to say that his State would increase its appropriation from $50,000 to $100,000.

Commissioner Williams of Tennessee defended his State by saying that while it passed no appropriation the Legislature had made provision for each county appropriating funds. Next came a resolution for two sessions a day and thanks to Mrs. Palmer. A general invitation to everybody interested to attend sessions of the commission was passed, and Commissioner Smalley introduced a resolution providing that twenty-five constitute a quorum.
