Bulletin There is no longer any reasonable doubt that the President has 'fully, determined to ask Attorney-General OI- -ney to accept the State Departmeat portfolia The President has not Intimated to OIney his purpose.

To other members of the cabinet, however, he has stated in substance be should ask Olney to accept the place. He is de- laying the public announcement In order that he might at the same time -announce a successor to Olney, as attorney general. It Is regarded likely that Senator Gray's visit to Washing, ton may have been In respone to a mes sage from the President and It Is pos- sible that he may have been offered the attorney generalship or consulted thereon. The cabinet officers, after meeting to-; day, said no appointment had yet been made to fill the vacancy. Senator Gray of Delaware came over from WO-.

The en was Quiet," and the berleved family was given, the consolation at least, that his physical sufferings of the injured not felt by him.

He was totally; unconscious of his surroundings to the. last. As ius death has not been unexpected for many hours, the entire family -were at the bedside, when he breathed his last. He, -however, was oblivious to the ynfyjjfr.Ttog. group that tearfull-watched the dying moments of the euf-ferer.

Among those who were near to Senator Buck in his lifetime was Bi M. Le-long, Secretary of the Stats Board of Agriculture. Mr. Leiong wa with the family from the time of the accident. His relations with the deceased hortocul-turist were of the closest, and he did not relax his vigil by the side of his warmest friend until the friend came at sunrise this morning.

Senator -Buck career in California Is a history of the development of one branch of the great horticultural Interests of this State. He was practically the pioneer and prime mover in the Inauguration of the fruit shipping Industry which opened up the markets of the Eastern States to California for her fruit. With characteristic energy and keen foresight he saw. more than years ago the vast possibilities that laid in this direction, and despite the objections neighbors raised, commenced first shipments of fruit to Bastern markets from Vaca Valley. J' He opened the way, too, for small fnrit gTowers to participate in the bene fits to accrue from a.

wide distribution of their product by organising the California Fruit Union, of which he was the manager for eight years? During that time the shipments of Calif ornia fruits to the East Increased aad it was only' after Senator Buck declined to accept the post he had so eminently filled for such a period that the union was dissolved. 1 r' Senator Buck was a native of Trenton, Courtland New York, where he was born on July ..14. His early edu-r cation was had at the Courtland acade my, in Homer, 'New Tork ii.i T.
