Sir John Donald Dead.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 7.-Sir John Nc
Donald is no more. The distinguished
statesman who has guided the political
destinies of Canada for nearly half a cen
fury passed peacefully away at 10o'clock
tonight, surrounded by the entire house,
hold. Lady Mcdonald, who here up 80
bravely during the fatal illness, is now
PROSTATE with grief. All the church bells
are tolling, and thousands of citizens are
expressing deep regret at the premier's
demise. For hours the members of the
household had been watching at the bed
side, waiting to see the life depart. AL.
though the physicians declared
last night that Sir John
could not survive until the
morning, they had not made allowance
for his marvellous vitality. He had lost
consciousness thirty hours ago and had
taken no nourishment since, save small
quantities, of champagne, which we're adj
ministered with difficulty. The premier,
sick unto death, kept up the unequal
struggle until after 10 o'clock tonight.
For days, 1t is assumed, he resisted the
inevitable by sheer force Of his powerful
will, but yesterday consciousness disap-
peared never to return. In the ensuing
period nature, now 10 longer restrained,
asserted itself; life's fire, already burning
low, Aickered and smouldered
as though the soul would
leave its earthly tabernacle
at each successive breath. At 10 o'clock
this morning the hundreds who called to
make INQUIRIES realized that all hopes
had now vanished forever. News from
the sick room was more Encouraging
than ever. A strange and leaden color
overspread his countenance and his ex-
tremities assumed an icy GOODNESS. No
one would recognize in the dying man
one vestige of resemblance to the
great political leader. Once or twice
watchers at the bedside thought death
had taken place and DR.. Powell, holding
the premier's pulse, discovered only a
faint trace of life. Lady Macdonald for
three hours before the sad event never
left the room for an instant. The other
watchers included Mary, her invalid
daughter; Hugh John Macdonald,
the premier's son, Job Pope, Sir
Johns faithful private secretary, and
neal friends of the family. At 10 p. m.
a complete collapse set in. In the sue
ceedlng few minutes the premier's
breathing became more and more Ia
bored and only the slightest futter Of
heart indicated life's presence. At :1O:15
the premier gave q few long and heavy
inspirations and without a struggle or the
slightest evidence of pain passed away.
An undertaken was promptly notified to
prepare the body for embalment. The
funeral will likely take place Tuesday
next and will be of a state character.
On that day the body will likely be
removed to the senate chamber
and lie in state for four or five hours.
Interment will subsequently take place
at Kingston, Ont, where the premier's
first wife and his father are buried. DIR.
Powell announces that no further de-
tails will be made public until to-mor-
row.

Nothing New From the Itata.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Secratary
Tracy received no word to-day from
Chill respecting the Itata. He says the
next step will be to send the ship back
to the United S ates, to stand trial.
There is no expectation that the officers
and crew of the Itata will jeopardize
their liberty by returning with the vessel
to San Diego, and in fact, as it was re-
ported from Mexico that the commander
of the insurgent war ship Esmeralda acted
as captain of the Itata as far as Acapul-
co, there are good reasons why he at
least should return to the United States.
So it may be necessary for Admiral Nc
Cam to detail some of his own men to
act as a crew. In official circles it is be-
lieved that the Itata is not likely to suffer
heavily as q result of her escapade.
Credence is given to the statement tele-
graphed from Chill that the vessel took
c%oltraband arms and ammunition from
the Robert & Minnie on the high seas,
outside of the jurisdiction of the United
States. If this should be true, her ofense
against the neutrality laws is minimized,
and it is very doubtful If a case could
be made out against her in the present
state of uncertain construction of the
law. There is little doubt that she can
be held on other charges, such as con-
tempt Of court, in sailing away while
under an injunction, kidnapping the
marshal and sailing without clearance
papers, but these are minor offenses,
whose punishment is likely to take the
shape of fines and not 60 to the length
of forfeiture of the vessel. Attorney
General Miller said to-day that the de-
partment of justice would take no action
in the case of the Itata until that vessel
had boon turned over to the law officers
of the government at San Diego, when
the course usual in such cases would be
followed, that is to say, she would be
libelled and held subject to the findings
of the proper legal tribunal.

Why the 1tata Was Surrendered.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The navy de-
partment received official information to-
night of the peaceful surrender of the
Gillian insurgent steamer Itata at
Iquique to-day. This information was
contained in a dispatch from Acting Rear
Admiral Mccain, received by Secretary
Tracy several hours after the regular time
for closing the department. The dis
patch came in cipher, and it took about
three hours to translate it, and % then
there were several instances in which it's
contents had not been fully interpreted.
In effect, the dispatch stated that the
Itata had arrived at Iquique from TOGO
pilla last night and was placed at the
he disposition of Admiral Mccain this
morning. She had on board, the dis
patch says. 5000 rifles and also
the ammunition taken from the
schooner Robert & Minnil of
the port of San Diego, Cal. She had no
other munitions of war than those be-
longing to the ship and had transferred
nothing to the Esmeralda, with whom
she communicated when off Acapulco,
Mexico. After communicating with this
insurgent cruiser, she went to Tocapilla.
Admiral Mccain says the Charleston
arrived to-day and the Pensacola was OK.
pected before tomorrow. The Itata will
be delivered to the United States court
at San Diego, and proceedings against
her for violation of the laws will be- re-
sumed at the point where they were in
terrupted by the unlawful departure OF
the steamer, and the responsible parties
will, if they appear, also be called upon
to answer the additional charge of con-
tempt of court in running away while
under an INDUCTION. Secretary Tracy
gave to an Associated Press reporter to-
night
THE CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES
that has led up to the surrender to the
United States of the Itata to-day. The
secretary said the desire for the surren-
der came from the leader of the insurgent
party at Iquique. Shortly after the YES
sci had finally escaped from the custody
of the marshal at San Diego, the govern
ment was informed by these leaders that
they disapproved the action of the Off
GERS of the vessel, and offered, through
Admiral Mccain, to peacefully surren-
der her as soon as she arrived in Chlllan
waters. These offers we're then commu-
nicated to the department at Washing
ton and in due time were accepted by
this government without, however,
implying any recognition on the part of
the United States of the insurgents as
belligerents. A proposition for q peace
full surrender was pending at the time
the Charleston, which was in
pursuit of the Itata, was
1t Acapulco, replenishing her
diminished coal supply. AS soon as the
offer was accepted, a telegram authorize
ing to cease the chase was sent to Capt.
Remy of the Charleston, but he had al
ready sailed when the telegram reached
Acapulco. The fact of the acceptance OF
the offers to surrender the Itata on her
arrival in Chilian waters was therefore
communicated to Admiral McCsnn who
was therefore prepared to receive the
Itata on her arrival. Secretary Tracy
said the Itata would be sent up coast to
San Diego to answer the charges against
her in the court.

Illinois Legislation.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June Sin the

lection of dairymen. 1t provides that

county in which he resides, a bondin
the penal sum of $4,000, for the faithful

fc in milk, and for the payment OF all
sums due from him on account of milk
bought on credit. A bill to prevent
child labor was also passed. It forbids
the employment of any child under thir-
teen years of age, unless a certificate be
issued by the board of education or
school directors, that such child is the
means of support Of aged or infrm rela-
tives.
The President and the Keystone National.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-The president
had a conference to-day with Secretary
Foster and Comptroller Lacey, in re-
gard to the case of the Keystone Ma
tional Bank, of Philadelphia, as a result

ing for governmental investigation of the
bank, and saying that he will facilitate a
thorough investigation of the affairs OF
the bank to the full extentOf his powers,
and will see that any officer Of the gov
