FISH As BRAIN FooD.-Sir Henry Thomp-
son, the eminent English physician, de-
clares that there is no foundation whatever
for the common notion that fish diet
tends especially to feed the brain. Never
theless, he recommends fish for brain
workers, because it contains in smaller
proportions than meat those materials
which. taken abundantly, demand much
physical labor for their complete consump-
ton, and which, without this, produce an
unhealthy body and sluggish brain, That
is, fish is particularly suitable for persons
who are unable to take much exercise.

He Will BE Buried by the State-The Nation
In Mourning.
PARIS, May 22-victor Hugo died at 130 this
afternoon. The Ministry will request the
Chamber of Deputies to adjourn, as token of
respect to the memory of the deceased.
Victor Hugos condition was 50 manifestly
worse this morning, that his death was regarded
as certain to take place within few hours.
When this fact became known, Cardinal Guild
bert, the archbishop of Paris, sent specially tn
Hugo's residence, offering to visit him and ad
minister spiritual aid and the rites of the Cath
olic Church. M. Lockrey, the poets sonin-law,
who was in attendance at the death-bed when
the Cardinals proffer came, replied for Hugo,
declining with thanks the Archbishop's tender,
and saying for the dying man, Victor Hugo is
expecting death, but he does not desire the
services of priest"
Victor Hugo passed away peacefully, without
suffering His death has caused profound emo
ton in the capital. The residence of the de-
ceased is surrounded by large crowds. NJ Fou-
quet president of the Chamber of Deputies, has
requested NJ. Allain large, Minister of the In
terror, to allow the coffin to lie under the Arc
de Triomphe for tw enty four hours The mu-
nicipal council has expressed the wish that the
remains be inferred in the Pantheon. This
wish will be considered by the council of min
listers tomorrow. The death of NJ. Hugo dwarfs
all ether subjects, political as well as social
The newspapers of Paris appear in mourning
this evening It is believed that the funeral will
be the grandest seen in France for a century.
The poet was sketched as he lay on his death
bed, by the great painter, Bonnot, who will
transfer to canvas the impression taken.
In the Senate, NJ. Leroyer delivered an eulogy
on Hugo. The speaker said for the past sixty
years Victor Hugo had been the admiration of
France and the world. He had now entered
immortality. His glory belonged to no party,
but to all men.
Prime Minister Brisson delivered an eulogy in
the Chamber of Deputies. He said the whole
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 ad-
journed in respect to the death of Hugo. 1t is
stated that NJ Hugo passed through long and
terrible agony before death. 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 theaters shall be
closed. 1t is reported that M. Hugo bequeathed
his manuscript to France, and that he left it to

SUSPENSION OF SILVER COINAGE.


How 1t May Be Effected without Repeal
ing Law.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Attorney general
has been asked for an opinion as to whether the
Treasury Department has the right to purchase
silver bullion for coinage in the absence of a
specific appropriation for the purpose If he de-
cides in the negative, the silvercoinage question
will be settled without congressional action. The
law directing the monthly coinage of not less
than two million standard silver dollars has been
regarded as carrying with it the right to pur
chase the bullion necessary to carry out the law,
and the Secretary of the Treasury has made
weekly purchases in compliance with that be-
lief. Last week the regular purchase was not
made, but it was resumed on w es-
day. and a break in the price r
ounce was noted. Now if the Atorney-gG al
holds that there is no law for the purchase of
silver bullion. coinage must cease in spite of the
Bland law. 1t will be unnecessary to pass sus-
pension act All that will be required will be to
withhold the appropriation necessary to purchase
the bullion. 1t is very generally believed that
there is majority in Congress who favor the
suspension of coinage Of silver, at least for the
present. and it is safe to predict that if the con-
tinuance of the coinage depends upon an ap-
preparation. the appropriation will not be made.
Political economists here. who can see the ine-
vitable result of continuing the present rate of
coinage, are praying for a favorable decision
from the Attorney general

THE EASTERN QUARREL.
The Correspondence Between Col. ZakEjewski
and Capt. Yate.

The Correspondence Between Col. Zakrjewski
and Capt. Yate.
LONDON May 22-The correspondence which
took place between Colonel Zakrjewski, of Gen.
Komaroff's staff, and Captain Yate, of Gen. Sir
Peter Lumdens staff, respecting the Afghan
situation, at the time of the Penjdeh incident,
is made public. It shows, among other things,
that on the same day that Colonel Zakrjewski
accepted Captain Yates invitation to collation.,
at which the situation of the opposing
outposts was to be discussed General Komaroff
sent an ultimatum to Naib Salar, the commander
of the Afghan forces. This ordered Naib Salar
to withdraw all his troops to the right bank Of
the Kushk river. The ultimatum concluded in
these words: ''There will be neither negotia.
tions nor explanations on the subject. You are
too intelligent and sharp sighted to compel me
to see to the fulfllment of this demand" Naib
Salar replied that he had consulted with Captain
Yate, and was bound to obey the Ameer.
Genera Komaroff rejoined, insisting that com
pliance with the terms of his ultimatum was
necessary to preserve peace. He warned Naib
Salar against needing the empty counsels of
others, and concluded thus: ",The choice be-
tween friendship and emnity rests with you'
After the battle of Penideh. which followed this

A HALF-FORGOTTEN TRAGEDY.
A Brutal Murder Committed by LOuis Riel,
in 1870.

CHICAGO, May 22-An article was published
here yesterday giving detailed account of the
horrible DEATH in 1870, of Thomas Scott, at the
direct instance if not at the hands of Louis
Riel and in the course of the article the name of
a certain Major Robinson was prominently men
toned. This Major Robinson, an ex officer of the
English army, was, for time, editor of a paper
called the New Nation, published at Fort
Garry during the revolt of 1870, and was,
according to the article in close intercourse with
Riel at that time. Indeed, it was positively
stated that Major Robinson was present at the
death OF Scott, and the description of that
heinous tragedy was alleged to have come from
him. The Major in question is at present in
Chicago His name is Henry M. Robinson, and
he is employed as associate editor of the
Interior, weekly literary and religious paper
To a reporter he was inclined to be reticent on
the subject of SCOTS execution. Il am prob
ably the only living man besides Louis Riel, I"
he said, "who knows the full facts in regard to

an agent of the international African Associa-
tion. Instead of descending the Congo river
with its valuable collection of ivory to Stanley
Pool and Vivi, the expedition proceeded, under
the protection of powerful Arab chief named
Tipu Taib. eastward to Zanzibar. Tipu Taib
had not known of the existence of the ivory
field in the interior until he saw proofs of it in
the rich stores gathered by this expedition,
and as soon as he had discharged his task as
escort, and learned all he could, he raised pow
erful army and proceeded into the interior The
stories about Ell Mahdi and his expulsion Of the
English from the Soudan are supposed to have
been carried to the turbulent Mohammedans by
Tipu-T and it is feared that they may make
it very difficult for the International African
Association to carry out its projected work of
establishing the free State of Congo Tipu-
Taibss army is exceedingly strong Three thou
sand of his soldiers, it is said, are armed with
modern rifles. This army, the report states, is
now advancing, making its way by pillage and
massacre. Arawina station has been sacked
and destroyed. The negroes who inhabited it
fled in panic before the attack. Tipu- Taib has
proclaimed the Congo as territory belonging to
the Sultan of Zanzibar, and he has announced
his intention to suppress all opposition to this
claim. The country around Lake Tangauigaki is
at present the center of the movement started
by Tipu-Taib, but it is thought that all the Mo-
hammedan races living in the belt of territory,
turning thence in both directions across the con-
tinent, will be seized with the new fanaticism,
which promises such wealth and power for them.
