trumpet of which the sound expires when
the instrument is broken"
The Gaulois says "Gambetta was begin
ming to see that radicalism. not clericalism,
was an enemy. Revolutions are assesses
which end by poisoning the blood of a ma
ton, unless the surgeon resorts to the lancee
at favorable moment. Gambetta's case ter
ribly resembles that of France"
GERMAN AND RUSSIAN VIEWS
BERLIN, Jan. 2.-The North German Gazette
says: "In German eyes Gambetta has ever
appeared the personfcation of revenge. His
name was associated with the sound Of the
war trumpet, but there has also ever existed
in Germany a generous appreciation for the
merit and greatness of his character Ger
many does not hesitate to lay wreath on
the bier of the enemy with whom she vic
toriousy wrestled in brave and honest
struggle. The German military authorities
unreservedly acknowledge the high talents
OF the deceased. 1t is not our affair to ana
lyze his political career, but only to sympa-
thize with the fate Of a patriot who did not
despair of the star OF his fatherland.'
The National Gazette, referring to the
death of Gambetta, says: "The republic be.
ing regarded as pledge of peace, the death
OF its principal supporter will be regarded as
political loss"
Other journals express sympathy and
praise Gambetta's patriotism, the Germany
alone uttering word of censure, saying he
knew how to amass riches in the years of
his country's misfortune"
The Borsen Courier says: Certain it is
that the death of Gambetta delivers France
and the peace OF Europe from a great
danger"
The Journal de St Petersburg says with
out disputing the great part played by Gam
BETA, it is just to say his greatness was on
the wane and his position seriously me-
naced."

A WHOLESALE DROWNING.
Eighteen Penitentiary Convicts Drowned by
the Sinking of Ferry Fiat

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 2-As thirty peniten-
tiary convicts mostly negroes, and two
white guards engaged at Carnee tunnel on
the Western North Carolina railroad, in
jackson county, were crossing the Turkasee-
gee river on fat, Saturday morning, one of
the convicts discovered that the fiat was
leaking, and gave the alarm, which caused a
panic The men all rushed to one end OF
the fiat and it Immediately sank. The Tur-
kaseegee at the point where they were cross
ing is swift and deep, with a rapid just be-
low. The men clung together in knots,
those who could not swim holding on to
those who could. Some We're carried into
the rapids ard drowned. Only twelve of
the convicts were saved. One of the guards
was washed ashore below the rapids insensi-
bic, but was restored to consciousness.

The Presidential Succession-Prospects of
the Bonded Whisky Bill.
Special to tha Indian annlia Journal.

Ihe PRESIDENTIAL SuccessfOn-Prospects OF
the Bonded Whisky Bill.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The bill to secure
the presidential succession will probably
next occupy the attention OF the Senate, and
it is believed the pending bill will be passed,
not however, without encountering some
opposition. Senator Edmunds opposes the
proposition to secure the succession through
q line OF Cabinet ministers on the ground
that the presidency should always be held
by person elected by the people or desig-
mated by the representatives of all the States.
This, the friends of the bill assert, is not
ralid objection, and is more than offset by
the positive advantage from having the ad-
ministration of the government go on with
adt change, as would be the case if a Secre
tary of State succeeded to the presidency,
the Cabinet officers being supposed to be
thoroughly familiar and in accord with the
policy of the administration.
The bill reported from the Judiciary Com
mittee to-day relative to land grants to rail
roads will probably be pressed at once, so
that the work of the Senate, for this week, is
fully cut out
The friends of the bill to extend the time
for the payment of the tax upon whisky in
bond are still hopeful of securing its passage,
but their chances at this session appear to be
rapidly disappearing. Speaking upon this
subject to-day, well-informed member re-
marked: "An extension for two years of the
time for paying this tax means loan for two
years of sSo,000,0Oo by the government to the
holders OF whisky in bond, and in two years
their whisky, from age, will have increased
100000 in value. What right has Con-
gress to favor one set of business men over
another is a problem the people would be
pleased to have explained.
Representative Kassoh says tonight that
the ciyil-service bill which passed the Senate
last week, and was referred by the House to
his committee, will be reported back to the
House probably this week. He does not
think any material amendments will be made
by his committee

UNREPEATED MESSAGES.
A Decision that Telegraph Companies Are
Not Liable for Errors in Their
Transmission.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan 2-Vice Chancellor
Simrall decided an important suit to-day.
Atkinson e. Blakemore, brought suit
against the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany to recover damages for an error in the
transmission of a message sent in cipher
form, from st. Joseph, Mo-, last June The
error was the substitution of st. Louis for St.
Joseph. Translated, the message read;
Can buy one hundred thousand, thirteen
and half, average winter shoulders, at eight
forty. These are bottom figures"
The change in the date-line caused delay,
and in the meantime prices of provisions
went up and prevented the transaction at
the figures specified, plaintiffs thereby losing
commission. The defense set up was that
the message was an ''unrepeated one" and
therefore, according to the contract printed
on every telegraph blank, the defendant was
liable only for the cost of transmission. The
Vice-chancellor delivered lengthy opinion
in favor of the telegraph company.

which Porter spoke, was made by driving
few mules along the road with brush tied to
their tails. [Laughter.l The dust in the road,
said Mr.. Logan, was made by four mules
and q brush pile, and though Porter
had Il, 900 men Under his command he was
cared so badly that he retreated, and now
he wants TO be restored to the army from
which he was expelled because, when he was
ordered to attack he failed to obey, on ac-
count of mules and brush. If he had been
volunteer soldier he would not have been
permitted to stay in this country. There
never was a man in the volunteer service
who would have had cheek enough to come
before Congress, or any other tribunal, and
ask that this evidence should be spread out
before the world.
During my life I have served about seven
years in the army. | do not wish to speak
of what have done myself, but have been

grace. There is no excuse for this mans
.onduct. Have those who seek to excuse
aiim never heard of the charge at Balaklava?
Have they never heard of forlorn hope?
Mr.. Logan gave way for motion by Mr..
Cockrell to go into executive session. When
Tue doors reopened, the Senate adjourned.

The banquet to Hon. Frederick Douglass
was one of the happiest events of the New

took place at Friends, on Ninth street, being
rendered to Mr.. Douglass by his colored
fellow-citizens, in recognition of his personal
attainments and of his eminent public
services in the interest of his race and of
humanity. Ex-senator B. X. Bruce pre-
sided, on his right being seated Mr.. Douglass,
and on his left Bishop Brown. Among the
guests were Hon. John F. Cooke, Prof. R. T.
Greener, Hon. John R. Lynch, Hon. John p
Green, of Cleveland General Robert Smalls
Hon. George w. Williams, Judge Samuel
Dee, Prof. J. NJ. Gregory and other famous

The toasts were framed to meet the various
questions at issue affecting the colored race
in the United States. Mr.. Bruce. after read

the Introductory speech, alluding to the emil

evening The address was a most eloquent
one. Mr.. Douglass, he said, possessed quail
ties of mind and heart that would distinguish
him in any race of men. A characteristic of
the represen tatives, he said, was that their
development came from within and not from
without. Mr.. Douglass, though alone of his

PARIS, Jan. 2-There is some idea of post
poning Gambettas funeral until the 10th
inst, so the Senate and Chamber OF Deputies
may attend in a body
1t is estimated that 5000 persons visited
the house at Vile DAvray yesterday. The
people were admitted by groups of five or
ten, into the hall, whence they ascended to
the small bedroom where the body is lying.
The visitors included ministers, senators and
other functionaries. The room is poorly
furnished The body lies on a small iron
bedstead completely covered by sheets, ex-
cept the head, which rests on two pillows.
The face is pale, the hair is grayer than for
merly, and the beard is entirely gray. Gam
BETA appears fifteen years older than he
really was.
His friends seemed utterly beside them
selves, some of the aged men weeping. There
were a few flowers on the foot of the bed,
but otherwise there were none of the enl-
blems usual in France on similar occasions.
A painter was seated at the loot of the bed,
sketching the scene. Other artists for the il
lustrated papers were similarly occupied in
the rooms.
Further details of his death state that Gam
BETA was impatient to see the end of the
year, which he considered to be unlucky for
him.
The body will be embalmed and removed
to Paris to-day.
Gambetta's fortune is estimated under
100000 francs. The money he leaves prn-
cipally accrued from his newspaper.
A correspondent who made tour OF the
Paris streets yesterday says there was real
CONSERVATION in the bourgeois and trading
quarters. In the artisan districts there was
stern indifference amoung the groups of
workmen, and one person was even ex-
claimed against for saying the republic had
suffered a great loss
Clemenceau is spoken of as Gambettas sue
cessor.
All the troops at Paris and Marseiles are
ordered to attend the funeral of Gambetta
Bonnat has sketched Gambetta on his
deathbed, and will paint a portrait. The
death chamber has also been sketched for
painting.
The body OF Gambetta will be taken to-
remain until Friday, when the funeral will
take place. The interment will be in the
cemetery of Pere la Chaise.
Gambetta's father has consented to state
funeral The French government will de-
vote 10000 francs to meet the cost Of the
funeral

Another Version of the Cause of Death.


New YORK, JAM "A Paris special gives
the following version Of the causes leading
directly to the death OF Gambetta, as related
by friends of the dead statesman, setting
aside the old story of a pistol shot fired at
him by the mother of his son. which is
strongly denied. The most plausible version
is that, after having received an accidental
wound in the forearm he became impatient
at his detention at home, which was in,
tensifed by alarming stories regarding his
condition which filled the press, and by
others Of a more annoying nature, which his
enemies INDUCED in. The wound was heal
ing nicely but his desire to appear in public
to silence his enemies grew SO that he re-
quested DR.. Lannelongue to stop the sup
puration, which he did, though he pointed
out the danger Gambetta was running, TO
which he was deaf. He only desired to ap-
pear in the Chamber once, or at least in the
room of the Commission, of which he was
chairman, which he believed would put an
end to the outrageous reports in circula-
ton. The Doctor, against his bet
ter judgment, did as requested,
and in few hours the pus from the wound,
being debarred its natural outlet, took an
other course, burrowing under the skin to,
ward the shoulder, and soon man.f ri
itself in two large phlogmous sores under the
armpit. These caused him the greatest pain
He had arisen from his bed hoping to be
able to take a trip to Paris the next day, bat
he had to retire at once, when slight fever
came. This was subdued in two days, and
hope began to revive; out on the Sunday
night before Christmas, Gambetta dined
heartily, and becoming excited during po.
litical discussion, suffered relapse, the fever
again appearing. In the meantime the pus
worked its way downward aud now showed
itself in an abscess in the stomach. Later

Revelations of the Post-NIortem.

PARIS, Jan. 2.-The post-mortem examina-
ton of Gambetta was held in order to con-
tradict a rumor that his death was caused by
bullet in the abdomen. The corpse will
lie in state in the Rue ST. Didier until the
funeral. Gambettas sister has gone to Nice,
to obtain her fathers consent to a state
funeral. The cabinet has decided that the
funeral shall be similar TO the funeral of
Thiers and CremieuX, as a member of the
government of national defense. The Paris
ians have decided to close their shops on the
day of the funeral
The autopsy shows that the death of Gam
be tia was the result OF pepityphilite pericol-
ite Any surgical operations would have
been dangerous and unjustifable. No lesion
was discovered in any organ, except the in
testines.
Fifteen professors and physicians per-
formed the autopsy on the body of Gambetta
The embalming process was then begun. The
coffin is made of fir wood, is lined with white
satin, and will be incased in leaden casket
festooned with tri-color flags, and the casket
will be placed in an oaken coffin with silver
mountingS.
hastened by the muggy weather, has been
fearfully rapid. The aspect of the face has
become so shocking that the idea of
having the body lie in state in
the Palais Bourbon has been abandoned.
Watchers by the corpse have to keep wad-
ding saturated with disinfectant to their
noses.
At the autopsy, to-day the top OF the
head was removed and the brain
extracted. The latter will be given
to the Anthropological Society. The official
report of the autopsy shows that there had
been long-stapding Inflammation of the
bowels, which led to contraction
of the small intestines, bringing
about inliltration in the rear of the colon,
in the very wall of the abdomen. The
autopsy proves that the pistol wound in
ficted one month ago had no connection
with the cause of Gambetta's death.
