A Startling Story That Has Since Been
Discredited.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The people here
who are managing the war with Chill that
has not yet materialized had a startling
sensation yesterday 1t was that a cipher
dispatch had been received from Minister
Egan to this effect "The American Lego
ton is surrounded by the police and mob
on account of the refugees here Threats
are being made of burning or blowing up
the legation To get them. A United States
ship is i'll port, but many miles from the
legation. The refugees cannot fly, but
must stay in the legation, which is he
sieged.'
Chilians Promise Protection.
No one in official station would either
confirm or deny this report, but later adj
vices are said to be that Minister Egan has
telegraphed that there is no immediate
danger either Ia the American minister OF
to the refugees in the American legation
from the hostile Chlians who have threat
ened the legation by fire. Egan has cabed
that he has received an assurance from the
minister of foreign affairs, Senior Malta,
that full protection Will be extended to the
legation by the CHILEAN government.
At the CHILEAN Legation.
Senior Montt, the CHILEAN minister was
not at home and the secretary of the lega
ton received all callers He stated that
the minister had not received any late dis
patches from his government but felt sure
that II there had been an uprising against
the American legation at Santiagothc min
lister at Washington would have been adj
Nlsed of 1t. He also said that the CHILEAN
people had the greatest respect for the
American legation and he was poSiti, e
they had not or would not attempt to buIl
or blow it up.

and Wizards hotel, in which convenient
location he has for the last five or six sea-
sons taken up his quarters during the ses-
sions of congress. In very short space of
time the news spread over the city, and the
expressions of regret We're universal and
not confined to any political party. Vice
President Morton, accompanied by Mrs
Cameron, wife of Senator Don Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, was one of the callers, and
placed his services at the disposal of the
friends of the dead senator
senator PETER in Attendance.
Senator PETER, Plumbs Alliance col.
league, remained in attendance several
hours, answering questions and render
ing any assistance in his power. During
the afternoon nearly every senator in town
either called in person or sent messages of
coincidence, and some of the most earnest
ly expressed of the latter came from sena-
tors on the Democratic side, by all of whom
the Kansas statesman was respected.
Charles b. Reade assistant sergeant at
arms Of the senate, took charge of the re-
mains and caused kilograms to be sent to
the absent wife and children of the dead
senator.
Worked Too Hard Last Campaign.
Mr.. Plumb had been ailing more or less
ever since the close of his labors in the last
campaign in his state which resulted so
satisfactorily to himself and his party. He
was at all times an interchangeable worker,
but in this campaign he out-did himself.
On his return to Washington he attempted
20 int, L.
customed ardor, but complained that he
could not concentrate his faculties with his
accustomed readiness. He felt dazed and
uncertain both mentally and physically.
Preliminary symptoms of the disease
which finally carried him Off with such
startling rapIdity were not wanting.
Lost Himself on the street.
For weeks past when he had occasion
to write letter personally the lines wan
dered up and down the page in the most
irregular manner, and he found difficulty
even i'll signing with regularity those
letters which his secretary prepared for
him, On the street he lost himself occa-
sionally. Several days ago, just after the
opening of the senate, walking with
Colonel f. c. Manning, his frequent com
panion he stopped as Manning was about
TO leave him, and said: Don't go Man
ming; want you to stay by me; l don't
know exactly where | am"
Warned by an Eminent Medical Man.
He thought that the trouble might arise
from some impairment of his vision, and
after the adjournment of the senate on
Thursday last went to Philadelphia, where
his eldest son is under treatment for de-
fective eyesight, to take advice in his own
case. The eminent medical men he CON
suited told him frankly that unless he gave
himself an immediate rest, and exercised
the greatest care. sOftening of the brain
might result With this warning ringing
in his ears he returned to Washington with
determination that after the senate adj
formed for the holidays he would return to
Philadelphia and put himself under the
care of DIR. Pepper for prolonged course
of treatment.
