THE EFFECT OF HIS DEATH.
LoYDON, January 1.-The PaH- IfcN Ga
zette OF this evening says: 1T is thought
that the death OF Gambctta viii not break
ND the republic. IL will have minor effects
Of very obvious importance. Though far
too sagacious 10 be other than 4 convinced
partisan OF the republic, Gambetta has
always been very susceptible Of the force
Of French tradition. Liberalism all over
Europe viii deplorc the loss Of the great
and remarkable figure OF the statesman
who used his truly yirile mind for noble
cause. and who will live i'm French history
among the most courageous and acute
founders OF the republic. The measure OF
his loss il the secret or ayOwed satisfaction
with which it will be hailed by the reAc-
tionIsts and enemies Of free government all
over EUROPE
PARIS, January 1.-Gambctta's face Is
peaceful and his lips wear 4 smile.
WHAT TIE BERLIN FEEss SAY.
BERLIN, Jsnuary Almost all the
ncWsDayerS have articles on Gambetta.
The Semi- Q6ic,o! Post says: "The most
eminent politician OF France has departed
He was a man OF strong passions and great
power, who seemed still destined 10 play Z
great part in history. IL is q significant
question whether il would have been 4
beneficial one"
The National ZeitEg says that Germany
has lost Il great enemy. Glmbctta knew
thai his reputation in the future was bound
with tie war OF revenge. and his whole
energy was directed in preparing therefor.
He may he said TO bayc constituted himself
a permanent danger to the peace Of Eu-
rope.
The Jogs5ldH says: - man OF uncom-
promising revenge IS dead. His dcccase
affords us better security FOR peace than any
sort Of alliances. His grandly-constituted
character commanded certain respect even
from his enemies"
LAST HOURS OF THE DECEASED.
PARIS, January 1.-For nearly twenty
hours before Gambetta became unconscious
he complained he was tortured with pain
as il q ball OF rcd-hot iron were inside OF
him. lie had recently become asthmatic,
and il was therefore not permissible to
yeniilate his room properly. Several times
during his illness he spoke to NJ. Bert,
member OF the Chamber Of Deputies, upon
some matters weighing on his mind. but
always briefly. NM. Rance and Spuller
were summoned to his bedside for the pur-
pose OF receiving a communication, but
the syncope preceding death had begun
when they arrived. Ii is believed that the
hopeful tone Of the bulletins issued during
Gambetta's Illness was due TO the advice
OF DR.. Charcot, who did not wish the sick
man, when the papers were read TO him,
TO hear anything that might have de-
pressing effect upon him.
THE LATEST.
PARIS, January l.-Tte funeral Of Gam
beta will be conducted with purely civil
rights. The family are anxious for the
burial to take place at Nice, but friends
advise that il be at Paris in consequence
OF the high functions deceased had filed.
The authorities have thought it eXpedient
to place seals on his papers. But few news
papers have appeared to-day in conse-
quence OF its being holiday. None OF the
articles published so far reflect on the po-
litieal effect of Gambetta's death, but con-
fine themselves to deploring the loss OF 4
Statesman who did not despair after Sedan.
r The Republique FrancdiSe states that at
G o'clock yesterday evening The doctors
present in the room with Gambetta per-
cciyed that the absccss had burst inter-
nailv. At 1910 O'Clock A. NJ. Gambetta
recovered consciousness sufficiently to
thank his friends for their attention, which
he did with perfect eaImness. His BREATH
ing then became more difficult.
A stream OF the most noted Republicans
Is now passing through the death-chamber.
The face OF deceased has already become
swollen and greatly changed.
This evening a man selling copies OF the
new spaper lie Radical, containing a sour
rilous article concerning Gambetta, was
seized by crowd on the Boulevard. His
papers were destroyed, and the police had
