CAL STATE OF HIS CASE

EVEN LATE YESTERDAY

KIDNEY AFFECTION THE CAUSE

Pamous American and Late Ruler of 'is.1 the House of Representatives Succumbs to An Attack of

!.V I

Bright's Disease.

t1

"WASHINGTON, Dec. 7—Thomas B. Reed died at a few minutes past ,12 o!clock this morning.

He took a decided turn for the worse about 6 o'clock this evening and Dr. G'oodnow, the specialist in uraemic poisoning, was summoned from Philadelphia. With the co-operation of Dr. Gardner and Dr. MacDonald, who were hurriedly sent for at 6 o'clock, every means of prolonging life was exerted but Mr. Reed became unconscious at 11 o'clock and died an hour and ten minutes later.

Mr. Reed's condition yesterday morning was such as to cause grave apprehension and at 9:30 a strong saline solution was Injected into his veins. Oxygen was also administered to counteract the uraemic poison in his blood and this treatment •jyas continued throughout the day. He grew steadily weaker and his mind commenced to wander, and he became -enly partialis- conscious of what was going t?h' around him. At 5 o'clock last evening lie wfis given another transfusion of the (Saline solution, but he did not rally. ^,-iiMrs. Reed was told at 5 o'clock that her .husband could not recover, but heroic efforts $o prolong his life with, the hope that the poison might be successfully combatted, were continued by Drs. Gardner

(iaj^d

MacDonald. They also summoned Ie. Goodnow, the uraemic poisoning specialist from Philadelphia. He arrived at 30 o'clock and assisted in the final futile efforts'.

lt,..'Mr.

Rord sank rapidly after 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock became completely unconscious. Mrs. Reed and her daughter Kittio with the doctors and nurses were with him when the end came.

His last words were to one of the doctors, but they were hardly rational. The cause of death was given as uraemic poisoning, or acute Bright's disease. Dr. Gardner said Mr. Reed had suffered from Bright's disease for some time before his fifisfl'-'illness and that the trouble had been aggravated by the threatened appciv"citis. His kidneys refused absolute perform their functions and the end came inevitable.

Thomas Brackett Reed, statesman, poli tician and lawyer, the man whose master will was felt by all who came in contact with him, was born in Portland, Me., Oct 15, lS39f. Serving his country and his state ip various capacities he has been constantly in tho.public eye since 1S64. As a member of congress and as the leader o£the Republican party in that body, the Maine statesman became world famous. He was a hard taskmaster, and ruled tho Republican members with an iron hand. As speaker he was termed "czar of the house" and as "Czar" Reed he will ever be remembered. His congressional career

the house he would stand no dictation. His was the creative mind and he knew no "master.

He received his education in Bowdoin college, Maine. Having mastered the teachings of Blackstone in 1S64 he was appointed an acting assistant paymaster in the navy. He served until the outbreak of the Civil war and then began thekjgsractice of law, launching immediately into political life. He served his state in 15$S as a member of its house of representatives and the following year went to the senate. He was attorney general of the state from 1S70 until 1S73, and city solicitor of the city of Portland from 1874 11111S77.

Then, he sprang into national assembly. Hoiiserved for eleven congresses, 22 years in all, six of them as speaker, and, although re-elected to succeed himself as a member of congress and assured of the retention of the speakership of the house, he retired from political life in 1S99. He hid accumulated no wealth and he determined now to devote himself somewhat to its pursuit. In his letter declining a continuation of public service he said: "Office to wear as a: ribbon in your coat, is not worthy of consideration, but office as opportunity is worthy of consider* ation.'W.

Notwithstanding the order of the court, the board of aldermen, by eleven of its members, passed the' ordinance in question without in any way complying with the order of this court and some days later the mayor of said city affixed -his signature to the ordinance in violation of the writ."

Those on whom sentence was passed are: Mayor R. R. Wright, Jr., Aldermen J. D. Ross, Andrew Horan. P. B. Russell, John Conlon, William Graham, James O. Parish, William B. Tehbetts, George Weick, Frank Bailey, D. S. Gray and Pinckney Wallick.

TERBE HAUTE,

DOUBTFUL IF SHORT SESSION WILL REACH EFFECTIVE MEASURE

ISSUE GROWS COMPLICATED

MISTAKE TO THINK GREAT^COMBINES ARE NOT FIRMLY ENTRENCHED

PROSPERITY IN THE BALANCE

This Is the Opinion of Many Senators Who Recommend Careful Deliberation and Cautious Action

As Regards This Issue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6—There is likely to be considerable pulling and hauling between the "Stand Pat" contingent in the senate and the "Get Action" contingent in the house before an agreement upon an anti-trust bill is reached. A notable difference of opinion between the two factions on the advisability of action at this session exists and there is a wide divergence of views as to the nature of the remedy to be applied to alleged trust evils.

Senator Cullom, the author of an antitrust bill in the senate is himself not exceedingly sanguine of action within the next three months. Senator Cullom in talking with a group of senators put his views this way: "There will have to be a whole lot of shooting before any one hits the bullseye." "Yes," replied a cynical eastern senator, "trusts are not regarded as easy marks."

An atmosphere of decided skepticism as to practical legislation against the trusts is found among senators on. both sides of the chamber.

In private conversation they frequently

that is, the clement fearful of attempting legislation, which may in any way shape or manner affect existing business condition. The industrial situation, thev claim, while at a stage of unexmpied activity and prosperity, is also so licntely poised that in their opinion, legislative action, unless carefully guarded. might clog the great machine and interfere with the smooth running of affairs.

The seeker after forecasts of probable legislative action encounters a different strata of atmosphere at the two ends of the capitol. Among the representatives who have spent the summer bearing the heat and burdens of the political campaign. there is an urgent desire to do something. They contend that the putlie is demanding action and they will use their influence, when the time comes, to get action at the other end of Capitol.

INAUGURATION DAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6—The initiative In the campaign for the changing of the'* date for the inauguration of the president from the 4th of March to the last- Thursday in April has been taken by the district commissioners. Assurances havo been given by Judge Jenkins, chairman ot the judiciary committee, that an early opportunity would be given for a discussion of the matter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-Former Senators Carter of Montana and Thurston of Nebraska, of the government commission to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, discussed with the president today, the preliminary arrangements for the Opening of the exposition on the 30th of next April.

It is the desire of the president so to arrange his plans as to enable him to participate in the opening c^-emonies. He expects to make an extensive tour of the west and northwest and it is his present purpose to time, that trip so that he may be in St. Louis when the exposition is opened formally. This, too, is in line with the desires of the exposition officials, who have been urging the president very strongly to be present on that occasion. Commissioners Carter and Thurston talked with the president on that subject today. They left the executive office satisfied that.Mr. Roosevelt would attend the dedication exercises.

This purely formal opening of the exposition probably by the president on the anniversary of the purchase of the Louisiana territory, will not be followed by the opening of the exposition to the public until a year later.

LONDON, Dcc. 6—England and many are not beginning a rash and sudden move against Venezuela. They have planned it for years, and have delayed it only to give Venezuelns an opportunity to settle their difficulties. The English and German war vessels will act in harmony. but after the first demonstration they will act independently. If customs houses are to be occupied tlie English will hold the custom house in one city, and the German in another. They will not clash neither will they come into conflict with the United States, whose government has opposed the proposed method of exacting redress. The probability is that Venezuela will make a satisfactory arrangement, but if that republic fils to do so Ensrlish sailors will be collecting customs in Barcelona, Venezuela, before Christmas.

The education bill is almost a. law. It has-passed the commons by a two to ono vote, and its adoption in the house of lords is a mere formality. Before its passage in the commons its most objectionable features were toned down, so as to make it in some measure satisfactory to the non-conformists in froveminent ranks. Nevertheless by-elections indicate that the puhlic do not want the bill in any form, and that they will at the first opportunity reject the ministry and party which brought it forward.

Colonel Arthur Lynch. M.' P. for Galwajf *svill probably be indicted before Christmas for treason, in having served with the Boer, and will be tried in January. He is liable under English law, to be hanged, drawn and quartered—that is, cut into four pieces, and the picces stuck up in public places as a warning to others. But as his guilt is no greater than that of a Cape rebel he will probably be sentenced to penal servitude.

A dispatch from Berlin states that the want of employment among workmen and laborers will be very great this winter. Some of the greater German cities foreseeing this, resolved during the summer to have certain work done in winter in order to give the unemployed a living. The work which the magistrate of Frank.. fort-On-Main will give to the unemployed workmen, especially to those that have families to support will amount to over 3,o00.C0) marks. But measures aro taken by the magistrate to prevent the unemployed in other cities' from coming to Frankfort and depriving the local workmen of beneficial results will work is therefore only given to unemployed people who have been living in Frankfort for some time past. The situation of the German laborers is very bad. It is believed that the number of unem- .•••• ployed workmen, which is now very great, will increase despite all measures adopt-• cd by city authorities.

The husband is ar'f^ hopeless drunkard so that the wife, who /. is young and beautiful, is obliged to maintain them both. She enters the office of a factory and the manager falls in love with her. Seeing the unhappinesa of her-home, he demands that she shall get a divorce from her good-for-nothing husband ir. order that he may make her "v his wife. Divorce in Russia, however, is an expensive luxury in which only rich people can indulge, so the manager and *, the woman hit on the idea of buying her husband's consent to their union. The drunkard deceives-a sum of money and :. disappears, His hat and_. coat are found on the banks of the Volga and the woman identifies the next corpse wash up—and there are many—as his body. The factory manager marries her and they live happily together until one day a drunken -s vagabond in a St. Petersburg tavern shouts: "Leave me alone, I am not alive, I am a corpse." These strange words attract attention and the whole deception comes to light with the result that all three are sent to Siberia to expiate their offense.
