INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 28.—The apportionment bills were made the apportionment law, and the pending senate repealed the present legislative special order for Wednesday. The Wishard bill, which is the caucus measure, will make the legislature surely Republican upon a normal vote.

In the senate the house bill for the teaching in public schools of the effects of intemperance was shelved, and Senator New by's bill, to a similar purpose, was substituted. A lobby was present, and watched the action of the bill. It is said that this action was taken to delay matters, and thus defeat any legislation on the subject.

Senator Wishard made a report against compelling the Citizens' Street Railway company of this city to pave between its tracks.

The senate shortly before noon took up the question of county seat removal in Jackson 'bounty. There was great confusion 011 the floor of tlie senate. Senator Seller began a long argument. Delegations from Brownstown and Sey-1 mom- listeutvl to debate*.

STRUGGLE WITH A MAD DOG.

King tried to shake the dog off, but he hung on, when King grasped the dog by his shaggy neck and began choking him. The animal never released his hold until he was stone dead, when his jaws had to be forced open. King's arm was terribly lacerated. He came to this city at once and had the wounds seared, after which he went to Terre Haute to have the madstone applied.

FRED DOUGLASS DEAD

The Noted Ex-Slave,Orator and Diplomat.

HIS DEATH WAS VERY SUDDEN.

Stricken Down While Talking to His Wife and Within Twenty Minutes He Was Dead—He Never Regained Consciousness.

Heart Failure Was the Cause of Death, lliographical Sketch of His Life.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Frederick Douglass, the noted freedman, orator and diplomat, died a few minutes before 7 o'clock last night at his residence in Anacostia, a suburb of this city, of heart failure. His death was entirely unexpected, as he has been enjoying the best of health.

During the afternoon he attended the invention of the women of the United States, now in progress in this city and chatted with Susan B.

FRED DOUGLASS.

The Urute Choked to Death liefore Would Itelcasc His Hold. BRAZIL, Ind., Feb. 26.—A man named

Henry King of Carbon, north of this cii/, had a terrible experience yesterday with a large dog suffering with hydrophobia. While leaving his gate, a strange dog with foam flying from his mouth, and exhibiting all the sir,ns of hydrophobia, sprang upon him and seized him by the left wrist, driving his teeth to the bone.

little exhausted from the climb up the stairs leading from the street to his l»juse, which is 011 a high terrace. He sat down and chatted with his wife about the women at the convention, telling of various things that had been said and done. Suddenly he gasped, clapped his hand to his heart and fell back unconscious.

A doctor was hastily summoned, and arrived within a very few moments, but his efforts to revive Mr. Douglass were hopeless from the first. Within 20 minutes after the attack the faint motion of the heart ceased entirely, and the great ex-slave statesman was dead.

Mr. Douglass leaves two sons and a daughter, the children of his first wife. His second wife, who is a white woman, survives him. The story of the second marriage was a romantic one. Miss Helen Pitts, whom he married, was a New England woman of middle age, a clerk in the office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, when Mr. Dougl was appointed to that office. Sin r/as a member of a literary society to which he belonged. They were thrown much together and finally became engaged. Her relatives opposed the union bitterly on account of his color, but finally yielded to force of circumstances. Some of them have for some time been living near the Douglass home on Anacostia Heights.

Frederick Douglass was born in Tuckahooe, Talbott county, Md., in February, 1817. His mother was a negro slave and his father was a white man. At the ago of 10 years he was sent to Baltimore, where he learned to read and write. Kis owner later allowed him to hire his own time for §3 per week, and he was employed In a shipyard.

In September,' 1838, he fled from Baltimore and made his way to New York. Hence he went to New Bedford. Mass., where he married and lived for two or three years, supporting himself by day labor on the wharves and in various workshops. While there lie changed his namo to Douglass. He had previously been called Lloyds, from the name of his old master. He was aided in his efforts for self-education by William Lloyd Garrison.

In the summer of 1841 he attended an anti-slavery convention at Nantucket and made a speech, which was so well receive*I that he was offered the agency of the Ant iSlavery society. In this capacity ho traveled and lectured throuirh tin New England states for four year.- Lai-jve audiences were attracted by his graphic descriptions of slavery and his eloquent speeches. At this time he published his first book entitled: "Narrative oi My Experience in ."slavery."

In ltvio he went to Europe and lectured on slavery to enthusiastic audiences in nearly all of the large towns of Great Britain.

In lb-16 his friends in England raised a purse of §750 to purchase his freedom in due form of law. He remained two years in (Treat Britain and in 1847 ixgan ah Rochester the publication of "Frederick Douglass' paper," whoso title was afterward changed to "The North Star."

In 1855 ho published "My Bondage and My Freedom." In 1859, the John Brown riots took pla.rs iu Virginia. He was supposed to be implicated in these and Governor Wise mado requisition for his arrest Upon the govern or of Michigan, in which state he then was. To avoid difliculty Mr. Douglass went to England, where he remained fo.* six or eight months. He then returned to Rochester and continued tho publication of his paper.

When tho civil war began in 1S61 ho urged upon President Lincoln tho employment of colored troops and the issuance of a proclamation of emancipation. In 18(53, when it was at last decided to employ such troops, he gave his assistance in enlisting men for such regiments, and especially tho Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts.

After the abolition of slavery he discontinued the publication of his paper and applied himself to the preparation and delivery of lyceum lectures.

In September, 1870, ho became editor of the new National Era in Washington. This was afterward continued by his sons, Lewis and Frederick.

In 1871 he was appointed assistant secretary to the commission to San Domingo. On his return, President Grant appointed him one of the territorial counsel for the Distriot of Columbia.

In 1872 he was elected presidential elector at large for the state of New York and was appointed to carry the electoral vote of the state to Washington. In 1876 he was appointed United States marshal for the District of Columbia.

After this he beoame recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, from which office he was removed by President Cleveland in 1866. In the autumn of that year he revisited England to inform the- friends Whom he had made while a fugitive slave of the progress of the African race in the Urlted States.

After his return to the United States, be was appointed minister to Hayti by President Harrison in 1889. He was sent to Hayti in a United States man-of-war.

He arrived in Hayti on the 8th of October, 1889, jusr as the country was emerging from one of the most exciting revolutions that that country had witnessed for years. The government existing upon his arrival was simply provisional, and even after the new president took oilicc, there was some delay in the arrival and presentation of his credentials. These oirciLmstaiioes gave rise in the United States to persistent rumors that the Haytian government had refused to receive Mr. Douglass on account of his color. They were denied, however, and Mr. Douglass was finally warmly received.

The Haytian ministry was the last position in the gift of the United States held by Mr. Douglass.

In 1893 Hayti made an appropriation of money for the Columbian exposition at Chicago, and appointed Mr. Douglass tho 6enior of her two commissioners to the exposition. Since the close of the exposition Mr. Douglass has lived quietly in Washington, without engaging in any special business. His wealth is variously estimated at from §1( 0,000 to $200,000.

FRANCE CALLED DOWN

Why Are Our American Cattle Excluded

WORE FOR MINISTER EU3TIS.

A tong and Tedious Examination Is A boat to Ke liegun by Expert Veterinarians to Find Out if American Cattle Are Real!

Unhealthy or Not —Other Restrictions Feared. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Mr. Eustis,

our ambassador to France, will be instructed to enter a prompt and vigorous protest against the French decree jusl made, excluding American cattle from France. As the decree is ostensibly based on the existence of pleuro-pneu-rnonia and Texas fever in cattle coming from the United States, the ambassador will call for proof of the fact.

That will mean long and tedious expert examinations by veterinarians and much correspondence, which is not expected to be of any more available than I that into which Mr. Runyon, our am-' bassador to Germany, was plunged by I the issue of a similar decree by the German government, for it is fully realized here that the allegation that American cattle are unhealthy is the merest pretense in both cases and that the real reason is fear of American competition.

In the case of France the press cable dispatches have shown that the ministry has been urged to the issue of the decree by delegation after delegation representing the numerous and well-organ-ized agricultural societies of the republie, solely for their protection against the American cattle grower. I11 order I to grant the demand and yet, at the

same time, to avoid the charge that France was violating the most favored nation clause in its treaty with the United States, which would properly lie if the latter were singled out from other nations for an attack of this kind, it was I necessary that recourse should be had to the device which had availed Germany so well of charging unhealthfulness upon American cattle. This change is always hard to rebut owing to the ease with which expert testimony may be had 011 either side of the case.

The American trade in cattle with France has grown to considerable proportions, the shipments during six months ended Dec. 31 last being 13,441 head, and during the month of January last 801 head.

Secretary Morton was careful about expressing his opinion touching the French decree, but it could be seen that he regarded it as a mere political manifestation and felt that it would not be continued in force for any considerable length of time and that the next change in the French cabinet would probably be followed by the revocation of the decree.

Notwithstanding this the belief is growing and deepening here that these decrees are but forerunners of other and more severe restrictions upon American trade, tlie next blow, perhaps, being likely to fall upon wheat. It is understood that these are not adopted as retaliatoiy measures, but are manifestations of the growth of the protective sentiment- in continental Europe, and grow out of the necessity the governments are under of conceding something to the great agricultural classes.

Touching the allegation of tlie existence of disease among American cattle, Secretary Morton says there has not been one case of pleuro-pneumonia in the United States during the past three years, and that even if there had been cattle suffering from Texas fever anion the carefully inspected herds
