were apparently slight
LONDON, Sept. 1.-The attack which
carried off ex-President Theirs was what
is called in France apoplexie fairdruoy-
ante. He was apparently in good health
in the morning and took his usual walk.
After luncheon he felt the symptoms Of
illness which speedily developed
into an apoplectic fit. He remained un-
conscious and died at 6 O'Clock, apparent
ly without pain. No event short of
coup de'etat or communist rising
could have created so profound
an impression throughout France
Its effect on the present political crisis
cannot yet properly be weighed Gam

alarming to the left centre that the
republican party as whole
will probably seek to counteract
the evil effects of Theirs removal by put

Chamber of Deputies, as a candidate for
the succession to the presidency in the
