yesterday while the night force, which reports
for duty at $50 Pm, kept the basement Of the
building in a buzz for an hour more.
Eitsymiller and Bishop, both of Pittsburg

which to register the dots and dashes
He is expected to be present The sale of
tickets has already been large and the hail. it is
said, will be packed. Never before has there
been such a scarcity of substitutes. The man
ayers of the various Offices are overwhelmed
with applications from operators who desire to
get away to see the tournament. All the cleo
trical publications for several editions have
contained conspicuous advertisements calling
for substitutes

benefit of the delegates to the Pan-American
Conference there will be little room for the
the space will be kept clear for the movements
of the troops and of the reviewing party.
An arrangement was made today, however,
for parade after the review, by which the
public will have full opportunity to see the
troops. At the close Of the review which. it is
expected, will end about o'clock the troops
will move out of the White Lot by way Of 18th
street to Pennsylvania avenue and hence march
by way OF Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street
to AZ street, where the troops will be dis
missed.

President Harrison will be the reviewing
officer, and he will be supported by the MEM
bers OF his cabinet and the delegates
to the international conference. This
will be the first time since the war that Pres-
dent OF the United States has officially re-
viewed troops. On great many &C.
casions Presidents have reviewed street parades
but since Abraham Lincoln watched the war
worn veterans tramp past him for three days
no President has acted officially as commander
in-chief at a formal military ceremony.

WHAT KILLED HIM?
Was 1t Heart Disease or . Piece of Beef
In His Throat?-A Curious Pension Case.

Ten years ago man while eating dinner at
a hotel in Erie, Pa, suddenly fell over dead
The coroner's jury found that the cause Of
death was strangulation from piece Of roast
beef. His widow, Mrs. Charles L. Pierce,
made an application for a pension, alleg-
ing that the amputation of his leg,
caused by gun shot wound received in the
late war, produced neuralgia, resulting in heart
disease and his death. The Commissioner Of
Pensions ruled that the cause of death as shown
by the action Of the coroner's jury had no
connection with any disability due to his mill
tary service and rejected the claim. Since
then, however,
ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PRESENTED,
including statement signed by all the men,
bers OF the coroner's jury that they believed
that they erred IN their verdict and that the
death was due to pre-existing conditions Of
heart disease.
Affidavits were submitted by physicians to
the same effect, but all this did not cause the
Commissioner of Pensions to change his mind
Assistant Secretary Bussey, however, finds
that the weight of the evidence is largely in
favor Of the theory of heart disease as the
cause OF death, and that this condition Of his
heart was due to the loss of the leg He there
fore directs pension to issue and the widow,
who is resident of Erie, Pa, will receive eli
per month, dating back to January IL, $780,
and each of the five minor children will re-
ceive % per month from the same date.

How We Have Improved on the Ancient

How We Have Improved on the Ancient
Frances Power Cobbe in the Forum.
Let us sum up the conclusions Of this paper
l. The desire Of food has passed the stage of
gluttony and become in Europe and America
only a subordinate branch Of general luxury.
2. Sexual love has undergone a clarifying
Transformation from universal brute instinct
to (very commonly an exalting ideal passion.
8. Incidence has given way to almost feverish
activity. 4. Hatred has diminished in fire.
quency and intensity, and revenge has become
obsolete. Anger is perhaps more often self
controlled. 5. sympathy with suffering has
vastly increased and largely displaced hetero-
pathy and aversion. 6. Wholesale indignation
has waned disastrously and remorse has disap-
peared Z. Avarice has almost died out and
given place to acqusitiveness and covetous-
ness, often united with prodigality, and CIV
ing rise to a gigantic extension Of the vice
of gambling. 8. The desire of fame has degen-
Grated into the love Of notoriety. g. The love
Of natural beauty, especially of the wilder sort,
has been born, and has become large factor
in modern enjoyment. III. Humor is more
common, more refined and more priced. H.
Men and women have become almost nomadic
in their habits, 80 perpetual are their removals
and journeys. IL. The minds of men have be-
come infinitely more subtle, their emotions more
varied, more complex, more rarefied in every
way; thereby new dangers of duplicity are in
CURED, and at the same time the capacity for
high emotional and intellectual pleasures IL
enlarged.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Continuation Of the Report OF the House
Proceedings Today.

In the House today, after the report in the
first edition closed, Mr.. O'Nein (Pa.) offered
an amendment to the naval appropriation bill
permitting the Secretary Of the Navy to have
one Of the new vessels built at the League
Island navy yard Ruled out on a point of
order.
MIR. McAdoo Of New Jersey denied that the
naval question was as between cruisers and
battle ships but between high and low free
board vessels, and he favored the low free
board type. The gentleman from Kansas had LEI
MIN no choice as to type, but obliged him to
vote for or against any navy. The better ships
OF the bill were coast defense ships He would
not give one cent for 10, 00O-ton ship which
could not enter our harbors.
1912 AND 1890.
The gentleman from Alabama CMr. Oates)
had declared that we would make q province
of the nation that destroyed New York
city, and i'll answer to the sug-
gestion that the British had de-
stroyed this capitol, and yet England was not
province, had said that we were not the people
we were In 1912. Why the gentleman did not
know that We were a greater naval power in
1872 than we are at present. 1t only took five
months to build a war vessel in 1872.
1t takes five years now. We could not
avenge ourselves. He was with the gentleman
from Kansas (Mr Peters, SO far as his objec-
ton concerned a great standing army.
But If he believed that any considerable body
OF our people, north, south or west, objected
to the protection OF our coast, he counted with
out his host
Mr.. Cannon GIL said that he did not know
much about the navy, but he wished to make
few remarks about the bill.
Mr.. Rogers ARK. )-Tnen they ough: to be
good ones. (Laughter.l
WHAT MIR. CANNON KNOWS.
Mr.. Cannon, continuing, said that, neverthe-
less, he began to suspect that he knew as much
as the experts on the floor. He had watched
naval progress and feared that those ships pro-
posed to be built would become obsolete before
completion. He believed in a small. compact
and powerful navy, including the best type of
vessels.
But the Navy department had reported that
the Maine and Texas, now building, would
never be duplicated.

THE DYING STATESMAN.
Hon. Samuel j. Randall steadily Sink
1ng-A Medical Consultation at Noon.

The long strss..sls il nearly over and Mr..
Randalrs busy and distinguished career il ap-
preaching its end During the long months Of
nursing and suspense Mrs. Randall and her two
daughters have been constant in attendance
BY the sick bed and have at all times taken q
hopeful view Of the situation. This morning,
however, even the faithful wife and children
have given up hope and now, for the first time,
despair Of the recovery Of the husband and
father.
Since Saturday Mr.. Randall has been slowly
sinking. His vitality, at first able to resist the
lower and lower, until today Mr.. Randall may
be said to be simply keeping himself alive by
the force of his will.
THE FORMATION OF NEW ULCER
was the climax which bowed the strong Penn
sylvanian.
Crowds Of visitors called at the modest little
home Of the Representative on Capitol
Hill yesterday and today, but no

one exception was Postmaster General Wanna
maker, who was with the dying man for some
time yesterday afternoon. Last night was .
period OF anxiety at the stricken home. The
END was expected at almost any moment, but
the patient was still able to rally and the end
was not yet.
CONSULTATION TO-DAY.
At IL O'Clock today consultation was held
at the bedside. There were present Drs. Lam
caster, Townshend and Mallan. Mr.. Randall
today has been suffering intensely and it has
been found necessary TO administer opiates
almost constantly. Mr.. Randall is able to
recognize no one except his wife. In attend
ance almost constantly at his bedside are Mrs.
Randall, the wife Of the distinguished
statesman; her married daughter. Mrs. Iancas-
ter; her unmarried daughter, Miss Susie; and
the son, Samuel J. Randall, jr. DR.. Mallan IL
also constant in his attendance. DR..
Miburn, the chaplain Of the House,
was one OF the callers today but was unable to
see MIR. Randall, as at this time he was uncon-
scious from the opiates which had been ad-
ministered.
Mr.. Randall has not for two weeks been
without fever. He takes his nourishment we'll
Late this afternoon there was no change wor-
thy OF note in his condition.
