The Great ITSh Leader Dies Sud.
denly at His Home.
Taken With Chill, Combined With
Rheumatism, the Disease Battles
the Skill Of His Physicians,
and He Expires in the
Arms Of His Wife.

LONDON, Oct. Mr.. Charles
Stewart Parnell, having reached the
age of 45 years, is dead. His remains
lie in his home at Walsingham Ter
race, Brighton, where only the doctors
and his wife are said to have witnessed
his demise. The time of Mr. Parnelps
taking off is fixed between the hours
of ii O'Clock and midnight last night,
though no tidings of the fact came to
London for the public until this morn
ing. To say then that the metropolis
was shocked with surprise would not
convey even mild impression of the
feeling which greeted the news that
Parnell had died.
And how did he die?
Sc the public questioned, but long
without satisfaction.
The forenoon wore on and the alb.
sence of definite information as to the
cause of Mr., Parnell's death caused the
breeding of rumors and speculation.
During the morning Capt. O'Shea,
Mrs. ParnelI's disvorced hu5band, who
lives also at Brighton, came up to the
city, as is his daily habit. Upon arriv-
ed in London Capt. O'Shea called up
on his solicitor. At their office he was
shown telegram that had been sent
by Mrs. ParnelI, in which she request
ed that clerk of the law firm be dis
patched to her home at Brighton.
While preparations for compliance
with Mrs. Parnell's message were be-
ing made, and soon after its receipt,
another dispatch-this one without
signature-was received by the law
firm, stating that Mr.. Parnell had com
mitted suicide, By little this crept
upon the streets, and many men who
heard would calculate. "What! Anoth-
er." Thus an added interest was lent
to the fact of Mr.. ParnelI's demise and
public interest ran high until after
midday.
At o'clock this afternoon, 13 hours
after the event of Parnell's death, only
80 miles away, detailed news came to
London.
And thus, in brief, the story ran.
The ex-leader's system had become
enfeebled by anxiety, irregularity and
exposure during some weeks past. To
the enfeebled system a cold attached
itself on Thursday last during Mr..
Parnells return from Ireland. He took
to his bed and there remained. The
symptoms grew alarming Friday and
Saturday. Sunday his difficulty was
designated as acute rheumatism and
the patient grew ill., suffering much, it
is said, until exhausted and uncon-
scious, he is said to have expired at
11:30 O'Clock last night in his Brighton
home.
The early day report that Mr. Par
nell had died by his own hand spread
far and among the persons whom it
reached was Mrs. Parnell. Tonight she
requests that an emphatic denial be
given to rumors that her husband
committed suicide. She states that he
had long suffered from rheumatism,
which developed into the fever that
killed him.

DISPLEASURE,

WASHINGTON, Oct 15-(Special)-
Senator Carlisle is in Washington,
and many are the efforts that have
been made to ascertain his favorate, if
he have any, in the speakership con-
test. The Senator smiles goodnatur-
edIy and changes the subject when
the conversation gets too near direct
question, and the result is that his
preference is unknown, although the
friends of the several candidates con-
fidentially assure that he is for their
man. 1t is perfectly evident to the
dlsinterested, however, that they base
their assertions entirely on hopes.

A group of democrats were discuss
ing the speakership last night and
one of them who has made canvas,
either by letter or personally in the
interest of one of the candidates, said
of the situation: "There are a consid-
erable number of candidates who are
not pledged and who will in all prob
ability enter the fight unpledged. My
impression is that their will be no
nomination on the first ballot owing
to the great number of scattering
votes many of them intended to be on
ly complimentary. Mills and Crisp
will lead, but they both will be con-
sideraby short of the necessary ma
jority. Now, the fellow who can
be so far-seeing as to guess where the
complimentary votes will go after
this, should they all stick to-
gether, on the second or third ballot
can name the next speaker. | con-
fess that 1 am all at sea-" Another
gentleman thinks that unless Mills or
Crisp is nominated on the third or
fourth ballot both will be dropped and
a rush made for new candidates.
When all of the members get here
and notes compared, it will be easier
to predict a result.

Pension Commissioner Raum is
again catching it from all sides, and
it it is hard to understand how he can
retain his position this time. There
is direct issue between him and Sec
retary Noble who has declined to dis
miss the pension employees who made
affidavit to being approached by the
young Raum with an offer of promo
ton if they would come down with
the price, $50 AS the removal of the
three men was demanded by Raum
and the Secretary refused, there is GER
tainly nothing for the unpopular pen
sion man to do but resign. There are
also ugly stories afloat of a war claim
pending before the Treasury depart
ment, in which Raum is interested,
which, it has been said, have
been placed in the Presidents hands.
Gen. Raum has gone to Illinois on a
two-week's leave of absence, and there
are many who believe that his resig-
nation is already in President Harn-
sons hands, and that it will take eff
feet at the expiration of that tim7.-
He said that he had not resign
and would not while under tire-but
Tanner talked that way too.

ingIy doubtful whether the conference

the prediction was well founded as
the conference has been postponed in
definitely, the reason alleged being
the absence of Mr.. Blaine.
The pressure, political or otherwise,
that has been brought to bear upon
Secretary Tracy for the dissolution of
the squadron of evolution and the
sending of vessels composing it to var
rious points where they are needed,
has at last been successful in spite Of
the strong 'pull" of Commodore
Walker. The Boston and Atlanta
will soon go to the Pacific; one of the
three vessels left-the Chicago, the
Newark and the Bennington-will go
to the Sonth Atlantic squadron, and
the other two will join that of the n.
Atlantic. 1t has been a long fight
and a very bitter one, and the wounds
left are likely to cause trouble in the
Navy for years to come.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The Mail and
Express Washington special says: Gov.
and Senator David B. Hill proposes to
overcome the objection filed against his
taking his seat here by conveying back
into the treasury the salary which as
United States senator he would be EN-
titled to up to the time he leaves the
governOrship of New York. In pri-
vate conversation Gov. Hill told con-
fidential personal friend that he was
remaining i'll the governors chair
to teach boiling Democrat a
lesson which he would not forget-that
he would rather be kept out of the seat
awaiting him III the senate during the
entire six years to which he was elected
than permit Lieut.. Gov. Jones. a bolter
and traitor to his party, to occupy the
governors chair for thirty minutes,
much less the thirty days he would
have occupied had Hill taken his seat
when congress convened. Gov. bill as
sured his friend that the election
of Roswell p. Flower as gov
ernor of New York was a Hill
victory from the ground up; that
his friends. and that it meant a solid
delegation in the national nominating
convention for him. After long and
frank conversation with Gov. Hill. the
gentleman assures your correspondent
that Hill will surely be the next nominee
for the presidency and that Mr.. Cleye-
land is already relegated to the past.
Mr.. Hill says that he will have the South
almost solid for him in the convention.
while majority of the West will sup
port him, and that New York state will
stand as one man for David 3. Hill.

HARD ROW TO HOE.
Mr.. Crisp Cannot Possibly Please
Everybody.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - Speaker
Crisp's plan to put Northern men at the
head of the ways and means and appro-
priation committees is meeting with
considerable opposition. The effort at
the displacement of one of the proposed
chairmen seems to be directed more
against Mr.. Holman than against Mr..
Springer, although it must be acknowl-
edged that the friends of Mr.. Mills were
candidly asserting that he would not
only be offered the craftsmanship of the
ways and means committee, but he
would accept it.
1t was said that Mr.. Mills had been
offered the craftsmanship under pledge
that he would not submit any general
tariff bill, and this fact alone tended
somewhat to discount the story. No
foundation could he found for the story,
and, indeed. it was denied most emphat-
ically by those who are known to be in
the speakers counsel. They say that
Mr.. Crisp had not deviated from his
original intention in regard to these
chairmanShipS.
At least two prominent Southern SEN
atOrS labOred for some time with the
speaker yesterday morning, in order to
induce him to appoint two Northern
men, but their visit was not sufficient to
induce the speaker to change his mind.
Another interesting development in the
situation yesterday was the the presence
in Washington of eX-Representative
Collins, of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Collins
is understood to have told the speaker
that it would be ruinous to the Dem
ocratic party in New England and
throughout the East if any free silver
Legislation passed the house at this SEES
sion.
There is no question but that the
New England Democrats in congress
feel that not only their election, but
the continual success of the party in
their section depends upon the absence
of any silver legislation during this
session. The feeling against the pass
ing of silver bill is growing in the
house, and it is doubtful whether one
would be passed if it were to be report
ed. A plan is now being formulated
and quietly discussed among the
members, which, if it meets with
favor. Will be introduced with the end
in view of practically disposing of the
entire silver question.

proved, on motion of Mr.. McMillin. of
Tennessee, concurrent resolution was
agreed to, providing for holiday re-
cess from Wednesday, 23d inst, until
Tuesday. 9Th prOximO. Mr.. McMillin,
from the committee on rules, reported
the rule designating the committees of
the house and the membership thereof.
He made briet statement in explana-
ton of the report. The membership of
the committee on ways and means was
increased from thirteen to fifteen. The
reason for this was the fact that since
the number had been fixed at thirteen
there had been large increase in the
membership of the house. The COM
mittee on quadrO-centennial had been
Increased from nine to eleven, and a
similar increase had been made in the
committee on immigration. The COM
mittee on Indian depreciation claims
had been abolished for the reason that
at the last congress law had been
passed submitting these claims to the
courts. The committee on commerce
had been changed to the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce.
The method of designating the chair
man of any committee was changed in
this: Formerly in the event of death of
chairman the second member sue
ceeded to the office. This was changed
by giving the appointment of the chair
man to the speaker.
MIR. Springer, of Illinois, suggested
that the designation of the quadrocen-
tenmal committee should be changed to
the committee on the Columbian expo
sition. Mr.. McMillin jocularIy remarked
that it might be called the committee on
the Chicago expOsition; but lie had no
objection to the change proposed; and
the change was agreed to. The report
was then adopted.
Mr.. Enloe, of Tennessee, offered a
resolution for the appointment of spe-
cial committee of five members to in
Quire into the charges made against the
commissioner of pensions. Referred to
the committee Oh rules.
Mr.. Chapman, of Michigan, announced
the death of his colleague, Melbourne
II. Ford, and in respect to the memory
of the deceased the house adjourned un-
I'll Wednesday with the understanding
that on that day no business shall be
transacted except that referring to the
recess, resolution and to the announce
ment of committees by the speaker.
