P. 7. BARSUM DEAD.
Tho Great shownan's Death Not unlookst
For-The show Goes on.


NEW YoRk, April 7.-Phineas 7. Bar
mum, the great Snowman, died at hit
home in Bridgeport, Conn.,, at 6:S!
o'clock this evening.
It was given out early this morning
that he had become "cyanotic" and his
respiration. and pulse were growing
weaker. Up to 10 q. m. he remained
conscious at times and recognized those
about his bedside. DR.. Godfrey aroused
him soon alter o'clock and told him
that the city had gone Republican in yes
terday's election, to which Mr.. Barnum
replied: ~ am glad" Mr.. Barnum's
daughters were telegraphed for early this
morning and reached his bedside pre-
vious TO his death.
The announcement Of his death
was given out this evening by the
management Of the Madison Square
Garden, where the great Barnum
show now is. It was stated in
the typewriter announcement that the
death OF Mr.. Barnum, while not entirely
unlocked for, was not in any sense an
ticipated by his equal partner, Mr.. ]. A.
Bailey. Mr.. Barnum, however, realized
that at his advanced age, he being over
eighty years old, that bis demise might
occur at almost any time. It was
accordingly provided BY their articles Of
agreement that in case Of the death Of
either, the show should go on as usual.
Mr.. ]. A. Bailey accordingly announces
that the show will continue with It's
policy entirely unchanged. The capital
Of $S,000,000 will remain intact and Mr..
Bailey will continue to act aB manager.
The physicians say that Mr.. Barnum
had no organic disease whatever, the en-.
feebled heart action, which had been
for the past few months, being
due to gradual failure Of his general
mental power, resulting from old age.
In a general way Mr.. Barnum has
prescribed directions for his funeral.
he wished it to be Of q private charac.
ter, and unostentatious Of show and pa
rade; he said he had had enough Of that
during this life. He directed that the
should be in the Mountain
Grove cemetery, where several years ago
he erected a massive granite monument
OF simple design. The funeral will be
held Friday afternoon.
For the past dozen years Mr.. Bailey
has been the sole authority in the organ.
ization, consulting Mr.. Barnum in great
important matters while he lived. The
continues sin this con-
nection, 1t may not be inappropriate to
state that to Mr.. Bailey is due the credit
Of suggesting and executing all the big
circus ideas that during a dozen years
past have 60 augmented the reputation
Of Barnum & Bailey" The announce.
ment concludes with q reference to the
trip Of the show abroad.

WAsnINdToS, D. c., April7.-Ex.Rep.
rssentative Mckinley is very much
elated over the result OF the local elec.
tons in Ohio yesterday. In an inter-
view this evening he said:
81 think Republicanism is reviving,
not only in Ohio but in all parts Of the
country. The people are beginning to
tind out the false prophets who talked
about the tariff last year. They see that
the promised increased prices and all
that, was a part OF the scheme Of mis-
representation. You remember the re-
cent local elections in New York State
were very encouraging to the Repub.
licaus. You can never argue with abso.
lutte accuracy from merely local elections,
but l think the Republicans are in
pretty good shape all,over the country"
OF the outlook for 1892, Major McKin.
ley said: ~ think the Republicans are
bound to elect the President in 1872,
whomever they nominate. notice that
Hill is trying to change the issue. to put
different Interpretation on the Novem-
ber elections from that popular with the
Democrats. l do not know that there Is
any significance in that"
Discussing politics further, he said
that he did not see how the Democrats
could avoid making silver leading
issue in the next Presidential contest If
they passed q free coinage billthrough the
House and It was defeated in the Senate
or by the Presidents veto. He did not
think, however, that the nomination Of
Mr.. Cleveland would necessarily be in
terfered with by that.

HERES A RUNNY GO.
ParneII Secretly Married to
Kitty o'Shea's Daughter
HE IS LIABLE ToPROSECUTION
For Marrying a Ward in chancery
without the Courts Consent.
Pope Leo Pleased oyerslIgo.
Other Foreign News.

LONDON, April 7.-The relations ol
Mr.. Parnell to Mrs. 0'shea have been
rendered more mysterious than ever by
recent reports. No declaration has yet
been made by Mr.. Parnell himself, nor
| by any person authorized to speak for
either of the persons concerned, that
they are to be married when 0'Shea's
divorce iB made absolute. That period
Is near at hand, and the friends OF both
are anxious that the ambiguous situa.
ton should be cleared up. The state Of
affairs existing has led to the sprinRing
up OF q crop Of rumors damaging to the
reputation of both.
These various stories, with more or
lees foundation, eliminated in the re.
port yesterday that the marriage with
Mrs. 0'shes would not take place, as Mr..
Parnell had already been married 10
another lady. AstoniShment was in.
creased to-day by the ramor that the
lady In question is daughter Of Mrs.
o'Shea, and that the marriage took place
in secret, because among other reasons
the young lady was ward in chancery.
The latter story rapidly spread in the
lobbies OF the House Of Commons TO.
day, and is eagerly and variously dis.
cnssed.
Late this afternoon the report OF Par.
nell's marriage to the eldest daughter Of
Mrs. 0'Shes was partially confirmed.
The extreme privacy with which the
ceremony was performed Is attributed to
the fact that the young lady Ia ward in
chancsry, although she is twenty.one
years Of age, and the marriage could not
be lawfully solemniEsd without the con.
sent OF the court; so that II it be true
that the two are welded, Mr.. Parnell
has laid himself open to prosecution.
Several Parnellite members Of the
House affect to believe, although they
deny any knowledge Of the facts, that
Mr.. Parnell never had commerce with
Mrs. 0'Shea, and that his secret visits to
the home OF the 0'shea's were made for
the purpose OF meeting the daughter
whom he married, with the consent Of
her mother, but unknown to her father.
Other Parnellites who arc supposed to
know the truth OF the matter, when
questioned in regard 10 the marriage,
declared their innocence OF the whole
affair. Captain 0'Shea's friends treat
the story as a stupid canard.

SENATOR RASHBORN
Talks on the Significant Features of the
FAya Incid dsnt-Italy's Mistake.

Talks on the Significant Features of the
Faya Incident-Italy's Mistake.
NRw YORK, April 7.-senator Wash
burn, Of Minnesota, was seen at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Speaking Of the
withdrawal OF Baron Fava, he said:
"Italy made mistake which will re-
act upon her. Americans go there in
thousands every year, and spend mil.
lions OF dollars in travel, in art, and in
the other luxuries which that country
has to offer. As business proposition
Italy's action was mistake. Il will re.
act on Italians in this country. They
were none too popular before.
"There is lesson In the behavior OF
the Italians in this country which ought
not to be overlooked. The Italian press,
almost without exception, took sides
with Italy. Some utteranCes were very
bitter against our own Government
Now, II should be borne in mind that
the editors Of these papers are supposed.
" the most intelligent and best educated
OF the nationality in America. Many Of
them, il not all, have become citizens Of
the United States aud have sworn alleg.
lance TO this Government, and yet at the
instant that the trouble began, on hur-
ried survey, and without an understand.
ing OF the merits Of the case, apparently,
they at once sided with their home gov
ernmeut.
"This is q significant thing. Ameri.
can citizens may well inquire II this line
OF policy would be followed by other ma.
tionalities. Suppose it had been Ger.
many, instead OF Italy, and the German
press had done it's best TO arouse sympa-
thy for the Empire against the govern.
ment oil their adoption, it would have
been serious thing. l do not believe
the rule would hold with the Germans,
but the question cannot help suggesting
itself.
"The incident will be beneficial in It's
results. l believe that one result will
be a change in the immigration laws
Something should he done to prevent
foreign nations from dumping their out
laws and criminals into this country.
The present law, which allows US to
send back paupers and others who are
recognized as undesirable, Is locking the
door after the horse has been stolen.
The shifting process should begin ear.
lier. I believe a law should be passed
which would require the immigrant to
procure certificate OF good character
from the American consuls abroad. This
would, of course, necessitate an increase
in the consular service, but that would
not be an undesirable feature. Itwould
give added dignity and importance to
the representatives Of the United States
abroad. The incident will be made
the basis OF new pleas for an American
navy and for coast defenses, which We
shall hear from in the next Congress. "
Senator Washburn, accompanied by
Mrs. Washbnrn and Miss Washburn,
will sail tomorrow for Liverpool, TO re.
main three or four months abroad.
