ment

President Greyy Was much affected by
the news
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Standard says:
IAN intimate friend of Gambetla states
that he became confirmed hYpochon-
driac. WEAKNESS and disgust at the
failure Of his prospects may explain
much that is mysterious in the life just
elosed''
PARIS, Jan. 1.-Gambttta left no po-
lit,cal testament. He made private
will Saturday. The papers reporting
his death are selling IN every street and
crowds are struggling to procure them.
| Telephones were sent TO President Grevy
and other authorities Immediately after
the death. 4ambetta died in q state of
INCONSISTENCIES, but in the course of the
| afternoon he exclaimed: "Jesais perdse
| IL est iIiutiie dc dfssimuter MATS jdf taat
sotlfert que &c serd uae deliceranee.i
For nearly twenty hours before Gam
ed that he was tortured with pain as if @
ball OF red hot iron were inside of him.
He had recently become asthmatic, and
IT was therefore not permissible to ven
! tflate his room properly. Several times
during his illness he spoke to the pres
ident and members of the chamber of
deputies upon some matters weighing
on his mind, but always briefly. Ranc
aud SpFilter were summoned to his bed
side for the purpose of receiving the
communion, but the syncope preceding
his death had begun when they arrived.
1t is believed that the hopeful tone of
the bulletins issued during Gambetts's
| illness was due to the advice of DIR.
Charcot, who did not wish the sick man,
when the papers were read him, to hear
anything that might have depressing
effect.
In the course of the afternoon GAM
beta exclaimed: 81 am lost Ii is USE
less to dfssimulste; but ! have suffered
so much that 1t will be deliverance.
The funeral will be conducted with
purely civil rites The family are
anxious that the burial take place at
Nice, but frieads advise that it be at
Paris. In consequence of the high
functions the deceased had filed, the
authorities have thought it expedient to
place seals upon his papers. But few
newspapers appeared to-day ia conse-
quencero its being a holiday. None of
the articles published sn far reflect on
the political effect of Gambetta,s death,
but confine themselves TO deploring the
loss of the statesman who did not despair
after Sedan.
The Republique Franchise statesat 6
o'clock yesterday evening that the doc
tor was present in the room with Gam
BETA and perceived the abcess had burst
internally. AT 10:45 O'Clock Gamberta
recovered CONSCIOUSNESS sufficiently to
thank his friends for their attention,
which he did with perfect calmness.
His breathing then became more diff
cult A stream OF the most notable Re-
publicans is now passing through the
death chamber. The face of the decees-
ed has already become swollen and
greatly changed.
This afternoon a man selling copies
of a newspaper, the Radical, containing
a scurrilous article concerning
FGambetta, was seized by crowd on the
Boulevard and his papers destroyed, and
the police had great difficulty in rescue
ing him from an excited populace.
THE EFFECT OF GAMBETTA's DEATH.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
says: 1t is thought the death of Gam
| mi he .
will have a minor effect of very obvi-
Gus importance. Though far too saga
cious to be other than convinced par
tisan of the republic, Gambetta has al
ways been very susceptible of the force
OF French tradition. He thought himself
TO be the new Mazarin or Richlieu. Lib
eralism all over Europe will deplore the
loss of such great and remarkable fig
ure of a statesman who used his truly
virile mind for noble cause, and mo
will live in French history aTRsng the
most courageous, acute SAD enectlv s
founders of the RepIahli6. His death
will be hailed with secret or ayoWed
satisfaction by the reactionists and enc
mics of free government all over Europe.
