Vactv. Hugo Dead.

PARIS, May - Victor Hugo died at
halt past one o'clock to-day. His con-
dition was so manifestly worse this
morning that his death was regarded as
certain To take place within few hours.
When this tac- became known Cardinal
Guibert, the Archbishop of Paris, sent
specially to Hugo's residence, Offering
to visit him and administer spiritual
aid and the rites of the Catholic church.
NJ. Lockroy, the poets son in-law,
who was in attendance at the death bed
when the Cardinals proffer came, re
piled for Hugo, declining with thanks
the Archbishop's tender, and saying for
the dying man : " Victor Hugo Is ex-
pecting death, but he does not desire the
services of priest"
In the Senate NJ. LeRoyer delivered a
eulogy on Hugo. The speaker said
that for the past sixty years Victor
Hugo had been the admiration ofFrance
and the world. He had now entered
immortality. His glory belonged to nc
party, but to all men. Prime Minister
Brisson delivered a eulogy in the Cham
Der of Deputies. He said the whore
nation mourned the loss of Victor hugo
and moved that the funeral of the poet
be conducted at the States expense.
The motion was greeted with applause:
The Senate and Chamber adjourned
out of respect 10 the memory OF the
dead.
1t is proposed to inter the poets
remains in the Pantheon and that the
day of the funeral be declared day
of national mourning, on which all the
government offices, the schools and the
theatres shall be closed.
