MATTHEW ARNOLD DEAD.
The Poet, Scholar, Critic and
TheolOgian Is No More.

LONDON, April 16.-Matthew Ar
mold, the noted poet, scholar, critic and
theologian, whose recent article On 'Civ-
| marked attention, died suddenly to-day
| in Liverpool from heart disease. Mr..
| Arnold arrived in Liverpool on Satur-
| day to meet his daughter, who was on
her way to England from New York on
| the steamer Aurania. He stayed at the
| Dingle with his sister, Mrs. Crapper.
| During the evening he was in exuber-
ant spirits. He took long walk, and
| tried to clear a railing near the house
by Jump. He failed, but again made
| the attempt, taking running jump, and
succeeded No i'll results appeared at
the moment. MIR. Arnold knew he suf-
fered from disease of the heart, and
DR.. Andrew Clark had warned him
against any sudden exertiOn. Yester-
day morning he was apparently well.
He attended the Presbyterian church,
and after luncheon went out for walk
with Mrs. Arnold. He was still in high
spirits. Soon after leaving the house
he suddenly fell forward and never
afterwards spoke. His daughter ar
rived in Liverpool an hour after his
death. No inquest will be necessary.
Immediately after Mr.. Arnold fell he
was carried into the house of doctor
near by. He was still breathing but was
unconscious. The physician poured
spirits down his throat but he never
rallied at all, and died within four min
utes after being taken indoors. The
doctors have given certificate that Mr..
Arnold's death was due to heart disease.
Matthew Arnold was son of the
famous DR.. Thomas Arnold, of Rugby
fame. He was born at Laleham, En-
gland, Dec. "a, 1922, and was educated
at Winchester, Rugby and Oxford. He
won distinction as poet while at Oxford,
and was awarded the Newdeigate prize
for English verse for poem entitled
Cromwell" In 1915 he was chosen
fellow of Oriel college, and from 1916 to
1851 he was private secretary to Lord
Lansdowne. Marrying about this time,
Mr.. Arnold received an appointment as
one of the lay inspectors OF schools
under the committee of the council of
education. His first volume of
poems appeared in 1S49 under the
title, ssThe Strayed Reveler and
Other Poems." Two more volumes ap-
peared i'm 1852 and 1858 respectively,
and in 1857 Mr.. Arnold became profess
sor of poetry in the University of Ok
ford. Here he remained for ten years,
giving out during that time two of his
most famous books, entitled Essays on
Criticism and "Study of Celtic Litera-
ture." Since 1867 he has devoted him
self to literature and won great fame
and favor as writer and thinker. Mr..
Arnold had only recently returned from
making tour of the United States, the
results of which were given to the
world in his recent article on ''CiyiliZa-
ton in the United States," in which he
severely criticised some of the manners
of the American people. He was
pleasing writer, and Couture and An
archy," Literature and Dogma" and
several others of his works will continue
to be read and enjoyed by the people he
failed to understand and appreciate
long after his ill-natured and harsh crit
iciSm has been forgotten.

Baldwin's Horses All Right.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, April 16.-
Steward Harold, in charge of Lucky"
Baldwin's horses, was interviewed to-
day about the recent accidents on the
Atlantic & Pacific railroad. He said:
SAT Ash Fork, Ariz.. one car loaded
with horses jumped the track. The
draw-head was broken and bent the
axle so that it was two and one-half
inches out of plumb, but the car was
not overturned nor the horses injured.
The following day, near Yucca, the other
two cars were derailed but did not up
set. This last accident occasioned a
delay of twenty-four hours" Harold
says that none of the horses were seri-
ously injured or thrown out OF their
stalls. He admits that they were badly
shaken up. He could not state whether
it would interfere with their engage
ments at Nashville or not. VOlante
was in the last accident. The cars are
being put in order here before leaving
Albuquerque for Nashville, with stop
possibly at st. Louis.

INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs.

The Committee Report Favorably
the Bill to Reimburse Settlers
for Losses.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The select
committee on Indian depreciation claims
reported favorably, with unimportant
amendments, the bill to provide for the
adjudication and payment of claims
arising from Indian depredations. The
report states that fully appreciating the
justice OF the demands of the claimants
now before congress and the depart
ments for depredations committed by
Indians, and recognizing the moral and
legal responsibility of the United States
for their indemnification and payment.
and being satisfied that proper and
speedy adjustment of the amounts due
each party, as well as the determination
of relevant and important adjunct ques-
under existing modes of considering
conclusion that justice to the
and to the government concur
in demanding that tribunal, district
and judicial in character, whose decis-
ions deliberately and judicially had,
would command the respect and con-
fidence alike of congress and the coun-
try. should be organized and charged
with this duty.
The committee in framing this bill
have sought to be as liberal in securing
for this class of claimants a speedy
hearing and adjudication of their
claims as in their opinion was possible,
in view of all the embarrasSments by
which their consideration is environed.
To no class of it's citizens is the Ameri-
can government more indebted than to
the heroic men and women, who, as
pioneers of our civilization, abandon
ing homes of comfort and ease, risk life
and property to secure homes, health
and progress as the heritage of those
who should follow in their pathway. A
cheerful compensation for their losses,
so incurred under the guaranty of the
government, is the deserved reward of
their sacrifices. The bill authorizes the
president to appoint three commission
ers, to hold Office until Dec. 81, 1891,
when their functions and privileges
shall cease.

ASHLAND, Wis, April l6.-Passengers
on the Omaha train from Spooner report
a lively barroom fracas at that place.
Two gamblers, names unknown, got
into a cdIspute with William OHearn,
bartender in John Breen'S saloon, and
another bartender named Charles Green
from Minneapolis. The talk was about
the rightful owner of a handkerchief, land
soon led to riot, both sides to the con-
troversy opening fire with revolvers at
about the same time. Twenty shots
were fired, and the walls of the saloon
showed many to have been very wild.
However.when the smoke cleared away,
O'Hearn was PROSTATE on the floor with
a hole through one of his lungs, and a
big bullet, which crashed through one
of Green's legs, broke it. The gamblers
broke for the woods and constable
followed, and soon after he had taken
up the trail shots were heard, and it is
thought he has also been killed.
O'Hearn has been in several gun fights.
Last Fourth of July he was shot in the
bowels, but soon recovered. John Breen,
owner of the saloon, is a brother of the
sheriff of Ashland county. OHearn will
die

BERLIN, April 17.-At o'clock this
morning the report was confirmed that
the emperor is suffering from inhamma-
tion Of the lungs. The emperor has
signed an order appointing Crown
Prince William to act as his representa-
tive. The conference of the emperor's
doctors, which was held last evening,
resulted in the unanimous decision that
the fever and bronchitis, from
which the patient was suffer-
ing, had undergone no change. DR..
Mackenzie suggested that the presence
of an abscess in the vicinity of the
trachea was the cause of the excessive
fever, which had heretofore baffled the
skill of the physicians to account for:
This morning DIR. Mackenzie expressed
his belief that the end was nearing, and
upon imparting his fears to the empress
the latter sent an urgent summons to
mem bers of the royal and imperial fam
lily to the bedside of the kaiser. Crown
Prince William was first to arrive, he
having ridden on horseback at top
speed from Berlin Immediately
upon receiving the message. Empress
Augusta and other members OF the
household quickly followed Prince Will
lam, and Prince Bismarck, the last to
arrive, was at the bedside within an
hour. There is marked increased ex-
cretion of bloody mucus matter from
the emperor's throat, and the swelling
is making unmistakahle progress down
ward. The change
WAS FIRST NOTICED
on Wednesday last Although an abun-
dance of air was passing through the
canula, the emperor's breathing was at
tended with slight noise indicating
tracheal disturbance. which was
attributed to slight inflammation of the
tissues around the trachea which had
been observed for three days, and upon
the first sign of which DR.. Mackenzie
had ordered fresh canula at Binders.
This not being ready, DR.. Mackenzie on
Thursday morning proceeded to the en-
peror'S room, and invited Prof. Berg
mann to attend. Prof. Bergman con-
Sdering that he was entitled to claim
the position of operator, DR.. Mackenzie
assisted him. Prof. Bergman tried to
insert a tube of the same angle as DR..
Mackenzie's, but of smaller diameter.
Failing in the attempt, he called DR..
Bramann, who managed to insert tube
of the size suggested by DR.. Mackenzie
Immediately after the operation Of
tracheOtomy, when the German doctors
objected to the use of such tube.

sPOONER'S SPLEEN.
He Grows Very Partisan in His
Discussion of the Dakota Bill. )

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 16. : Senator
Spooner is receiving the plaudits of all
resident or visiting South Dakotians for.
his eloquent presentation of their case
to the senate to-day. The senator, al
luding to the remark in Mr.. Buffers
speech to the effect that the precedent
sought to be established would justify a
hundred thousand socialists getting
together in a corner of territory and
demanding admission as state, asked
what was the objection to their petition
for admission? What harm had petit
tioning ever done? they had the in
herent right to try to get into the Union
as states, just as certain states had
claimed that they had the inherent
right to get out OF the Union. He went
on to argue that the question of the
division of the territory had been sub
November last and had been decided in
favor of division by majority of over
5000. That was fair, just and intelli-
gent expression of the wish of the peO-
pie on that question. AS to the sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Butler that 10000
voters of Dakota had been so Indifferent
to the question that they had stayed
away from the polls and that therefore
the vote was
NOT A FAIR EXPRESSION
of thef popular will, he drew distinction
between the cases of voters in the
Northern states who remained away
from the polls through Indifference and
of voters in the Southern states who
were kept away through intimidation.
As to the claim made by the senator
from South Carolina (Butler) that there
was no danger to be apprehended from
imperial states, he questioned it and
asserted that the great empire state OF
Texas did menace by her mon.
strous territory the interests of
She had in the other house the chair
man of the judicial committee, the
chairman of the committee of ways and
means, committee which dealt with
the dearest interests of New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, and all the
country, and chairman of the committee
on claims, while the great state of New
York had no voice Oh the committee of
ways and means. Why, he asked, such
political prepOnderence in political in
fluence on the part of the empire state
of Texas? 1t was not due to the wealth,
the loyalty or the intelligence of her
people. 1t was due to two things-her
solid Democracy and her territory. No
more such empire states were wanted
in the Union. He did not believe that
South Dakota would be admitted by this
congress, but he thought he might safely
prophesy that before long there would
be elected a congress that would recog-
nize her rights and gladly welcome her
into the union of states. The bill went
over till tomorrow, and after an execu-
tive session the senate adjourned. To
morrow Senator Allison will speak on
the same subject.

A VERY poor MEMORY.
Gregory Has Not Found His
Memory Yet.

Special to the Globe. r
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Thad G..
Pound will probably testify tomorrow
in rebuttal to Gregory on the Indian
timber depredations. Gregory was
again before the senate committee on
Indian traderships this morning. He
testified in reply to inquiries by the
chairman that SIG contracts had been
forwarded to the department this year
for approval and 217 of the number were
with Indians who had not yet received
allotmentS of land. Mr.. Gregory did not
remember whether or not he had signed
any contracts since he was subpHnaed
as a witness before the committee. He
was asked whether he had not as mat
ter of fact signed fifty contracts since
he was subp9naed, but he could not re-
member anything about it. He denied
that he had received presents or car
riage from one contractor and horse
from another, and declared that such
statements to the effect that he had re-
ceived such presents or any presents
were false. The records of allotments
were open for the inspection of con-
tractors, but witness had forbidden that
any information from them be furnished
to Calligan Bros, for the reason that
they were diSturberS and were not
honest. He said that Indians are given
the preference as labOrers OH the reserv-
alton

BAD PUNISHMENT.
Eleven Brutal Rounds Between
Jimmy Bush and Jack Sterling.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 16.-Jack
Sterling, of this city, and Jimmy Bush,
of San Francisco, fought eleven rounds,
London rules, with skin gloves, just
over the Wyoming line in Colorado yes
terday afternoon. The Cheyenne man
was credited with first knock-down and
blood. He threw the coast man eight
times and sent him to grass with the
right three times. In the fifth round
Bush lost the use of one eye and was
terribly punished, but exhibited good
staying qualities. After lively in-fght-
ing in the eleventh round the men
clinched. Sterling raised his foe off the
ground, lunged forward, and landed
with his head on Bush's breast. The
latter was unable to move for twenty
minutes, and is now in the hospital. 1t
is feared he received serious injuries
internally. The physician is doubtful
of saving the CalifOrnian's eye, and
says pneumonia may terminate his ex-
istence. The time of the fight was one
hour.
