JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
His Death Extremely PeacefuI-Fun-
eral to Tnke Place on Erfdav

Boston, Aug. 12.-The death of ex-
Minister Lowell was sudden and some
what unexpected. Although he was re-
ported to be i'll, few believed his case to
be of such a nature as to cause serious
alarm.
Lowell himself never inquired as to the
nature Of his malady. From inquiries it
is ascertained that gout has afflicted him
almost constantly Of late and that sciatica,
heinorrhage and latterly a severe type OF
liver disease in turn affected him.
LOwell's health has been impaired ever
since his return TO this country in 1885,
after concluding his diplomatic services
abroad. a year and half ago his condi-
ton became serious and a fatal termina-
ton was feared.
Mrs. Burnett, his only child, has been
with him constantly. She is his only
near relative, except a brother whose
whereabouts is unknown.
1t appears that the poet was taken sick
! about five weeks ago. About two weeks
or more ago he became deliriOuS, and up
to Monday he recovered consciousness
only at intervals, when he gave the mem
| bers OF his family signs of recognition.
! On Monday afternoon when the nurses
changed the bedding, he suffered in
tensely when moved, and finally said:
| "Oh, why don't you let me die?" These
words were his last. lie seemed from
that time to lose heart, and gradually his
life faded away.
he continued in comatose condition
until 2:l5 O'Clock this morning, when the
last spark OF Lie went out.
Beside him in mis- last moments were
the sister Of his first wife, his daughter.
Mrs. Edward Burnett, and her husband,
the eeX-CongreSsman, as well as the nurses
and the servants OF his household.
AT the mansion OF the Elmwood estate.
where Lowell died, there were no mem
bers ofthe family to-day, but the daughter
and son-in-law OF the poet. His body
lies in the sleeping apartment where the
last hours of his life were spent. His
death was extremely peaceful. Although
II was known that he could not live much
longer, death was nevertheless rather un-
expected. The transition from sleep to
death was so easy that for few moments
nobody IN the room observed that he had
| ceased to breathe. His eyes were closed.
and they were never opened. He passed
away with only heavy sigh to indicate
| the separation of the great soul from the
worn out body.
The funeral will be held Friday at noon
in Appleton Chapel, Cambridge. 1t is
probable that Bishop-elect Phillips
Brooks will officiate.

COLON, Aug. 12.-The enthusiasm at
lqulque, the headquarters of the Chilean
insurgents, over the arrival of the Maiho
with arms on board appears to have been
lndescribable. The NdcionoL of that
place, in an editorial, says that so far, for
want Of arms, the CongressionaIists were
undecided, and obliged to act purely on
the defensive. Now the robust arm Of
every citizen would be able to WELD a
weapon in the cause against dictatorship.
The Maiho is said to have had a hard
time during her voyage. In frightful
storm she lost her rudder, tremendous
seas broke over her, and it was feared at
one time that she would be wrecked
But the seamanship of Commander
Gomez pulled her through, and as the
vessel neared Iquique the impotence of
! those on board knew no bounds. The
excitement on shore was no less great
! Thousands gathered on the beach to well
come the officers and crew, franticaily
waving their hats and making every
demonstration of joy. When Com
mander Gomez stepped on shore and
said aloud to Senor Montt: Il bring
more guns and ammunition than ex-
pected," a laundering hurrah drowned
his voice

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-An officer
on the United States steamship Mohican,
writing from Ounalaska August 1st, says
the Mohican nearly ran on the rocks at
St. George Island during fog. The
ship was going at full speed, when break
ers were seen ahead. The engines were
reversed, and the vessels bow missed
The rocks by about ten feet. The cutter
Rush picked up seven men in whale
boat from the whalcr Triton. They had
been lost in the fog and drifted around
ten days before being picked up. They
We're in a terrible condition when found,

Captain Fillmore of the whaling
schooner Ethel writes from Ounalaska
on July 30th giving an account of the
seizure of his schooner by the Corwin on
suspicion of sealing in Behring Sea, after
being warned. The Ethel was boarded
near st. Paul Island by an officer from
the Corwin and warned to leave. The
Captain said he would do SO, but about
twenty minutes after one Of the sailors
fired three shots from a rifle at bottle in
the water. The boat returned from the
Corwin and an officer formally seized the
vessel. The Ethel and Laniufa are to be
towed to Port Townsend by the steamer

PORTLAND (Or.), Aug. 12-At 5:35
o'clock this morning smoke was seen
coming from the refinery of Kelley,
Dunno IL Co., wholesale dealers in paints,
oils, etc. An alarm was at once rung in,
but long before the fire department
arrived at the scene the building was in
flames. The contents were so infiamma-
BILE and the floors so soaked with Oil that
the fire became uncomfortable almost as
soon as it started.
The warehouse of the firm adjoined the
refinery, and so quickly had the flames
spread that the warehouse, as well as the
refinery, was on fire and burning when
the firemen arrived. The firemen suf-
fered severely from the intense heat given
off by the burning oil, and were unable to
approach closely to the burning build
ings.
After the fire had been burning for
about three hours spark from the burn
ing warehouse fell on the broom factory
of Ian Brothers & Feldman, and in a few
minutes the building was in flames. The
fremen were wholly unable to cope with
the second fire, and the broom factory
was totally destroyed.
y late estimate places the total loss at
S120,000. Kelly, Dunno d Co. estimate
their loss at $40. GOO, and Zan Bros. place
place theirs at $75. COO.
1t is supposed that the fire is the work
of an incendiary. Oil was found on a
wood-pile al St. Nincent's Hospital, and
it is supposed that some one was prepar-
ing to fire the hospital, which contained
80 patients, one-third of whom are help
less. Several houses in the vicinity are
badly damaged.
Oil from the warehouse flowed through
the streets like water

second days session of the State Conven-

Resolutions were adopted this after
noon by the Maryland State Farmers
Alliance declaring that as all citizens
are equal, therefore taxation on
both real and personal property
ought to be equally imposed; that every
exemption from taxation is direct APP
preparation for the benefit of the owner
of the exempt property and an increased
levy on the property of taxpayers; that
no exemption law is just; that no law,
contract, or device, directly or indirectly
imposing the payment of any part of any
tax upon any man not the bona fide
owner OF the property, ought not
to be tolerated, but ought to
be illegal and vaid; that mort
cages should be taxed when recorded:
that non-residents OF the State ought not
to participate in the use and employment
State, and therefore the oyster and other
fisheries of Maryland ought to be pre-
served by law for the sole use and bene-
fit of citizens of Maryland.
Inc platform adopted at Ocala was in
dorsed
The following was also adopted: "The
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
is not and cannot become political
party. The proper work of the order is
educational only, and the members are
first to decide with what party they will
act. 1t is, on the other hand, for politi-
cal parties and managers thereof, each for
themselves, to determine what they will
do to deserve the moral support of the
order or the votes Of it's members"
Frank Brown, Democratic nominee for
Governor, was indorsed for Governor in
the following:
Whereas, Frank Brown of Carroll
County announced through the press in
his candidacy for the Governorship that
he appeals to the farmers of Maryland for
support, and in public speeches further
declared his sentiments as favorable to
aid in upholding the agricultural interests
Therefore, the Farmers Alliance of
Maryland desires to recommend his can
didacy to favorable consideration of the
farmers of the State'
Officers of the alliance and delegates to
the Supreme Council will be chosen to-
morrow, after which the convention will
adjourn.
