Emma Abbott died of pneumonia at
TAO a. m. The body will be embalmed
and taken to Chicago. She was taken
sick Wednesday on her arrival from the
coast. She sang that evening, however,
and would have made the effort to meet
her engagement Thursday evening had
not her physician imperatively forbidden
her. She grew worse rapidly and was
thought to be dying Saturday night but
was believed to be little better Sunday
night, but after midnight she sank rap
idly.
DENVER, Colo, Jan. 6.-George M.
Leomis, the business manager for the
Emma Abbott company, is in the city
and was seen by your correspondent.
Mr.. LOOMS said: "The illness of Miss
Abbott was contracted at the new opera
house in Ogden, which opened Dec. %.
The house was incomplete and damp.
At first she had slight cold only, but
later developed into an aggravated case

through here Monday en- route for New
York, where they will disband.
Emma Abbot was born ia Peoria, Ills,

peared in concerts in various cities and be-

People on the Lower Mississippi Getting
Uneasy About the Levees.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan GA repetition
of the evils of last springs overflow is
feared along the lower Mississippi owing
to the unfinished and unsafe condition
of the levees and the heavy SHOWS North,
with prospects of thaw. Many thous-
ands of dollars have been expended in
the last year on levee work and it is be-
ing pushed forward as rapidly as posi-
bic by the contractors, who have doubled
their forces along the line and hope to
complete their work before the spring
rise, as that would prove destructive to
the entire system if caught in an incom-
plete condition. Relays of hands and
teams from this city and parts further
north are being shipped to complete the
work by March 1, save in front Of Hell
ena, Ark. A long delay has been occa-
stoned in that paat of the work by the
fact that two contracts made for its
completion and ratified by the board of
United States engineers, were not APP
proved by the secretary of war when
submitted to him. Consequently a third
advertisement and letting will have to
take place before it can be completed.

Sworn In.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The installa-
ton of Judge Henry M. Brown as asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court of the
United States took place at the supreme
court room. The ceremony was brief
and impressive. When the black-robnl
justices of the court, headed by Chief

tered the court room at noon, the room
was crowded with members of the bar
and a number of other persons. Within
the bar of the court were seated Attor-
ney General Miller, ex-Attorney General
Garland, ex-Postmaster General Dickin-
son, Solicitor General Taft, and many
prominent lawyers. About scere of
senators and representatives, including
most of the members of the Michigan
delegation were present. Judge Brown,
attired in new robe loaned to him by
Justice Field, brought up the rear of the
procession of justices, and while they
were being seated he stood at the clerks
desk. Chief Justice Fuller announced
the appointment of Judge Brown and
said he was present and
Ready to Take the Oath of ONCE.
Clerk McKenny then read the presi-
dents commission to the new Justice
When Mr.. McKenney had finished, all
present, including the members of the
court, rose and remained standing while
Judge Brown recited slowly, clearly and
impressively the oath that made him a
justice of the highest judicial tribunal of
the country When he had finished
Marshal Wright escorted him to his seat
on the extreme left of the bench, next to
Justice Lamar. The new justice shook
hands with Justice Lamar, and, after
bowling to the chief justices and associ-
ate justices, he sat down and the cere-
mony of installation was over.

The Election Bill Shelved by the
Democrats and Silver Re.

A Republican Caucus Decides
to Pass a Silver Bill This
Week.
Senator Hoar Says the Election Bill
Is Dead Washington
Matters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The senate re-
manned in secret session one hour. When
the doors were reopened Mr.. Hoar
moved that the election bill be taken up.
Pending action on that motion Mr..
Teller gave notice that he would to-
morrow address the senate on the cleo
ton bill. The conference report on the
house bill supplementary to the act au-
thorizing the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad company in the district of Col
umbia was taken up and discussed and
finally agreed to.
Mr.. George then resumed the floor to
continue his speech on the election bill,
commenced by him last Wednesday.
Mr.. Stewart moved to take up the senate
bill to provide against contraction of the
currency. Mr.. George said he would
yield for that motion. Mr.. Hoar, COM
pletely surprised, asked Mr.. George
whether he abandoned the floor. Mr..
George replied that he merely yielded to
have the motion put. If the motion did
not prevail he would claim the floor.
Mr. Hoar-I wish to submit to the
senator from Mississippi whether, in his
Judgment, after the arrangement which
we have made
Mr.. German made the point of order
that the question was not debatable and
insisted upon it. He was sustained by
the chair. The vote on Mr. Stewards
motion resulted yeas, "a; nays, 30.
Free Coinage Clause.
The silver bill was read by the clerk
and Mr.. Stewart moved to amend it by
adding the following: "That any owner
of silver bullion not too base for the
operations of the mint may deposit the
same in amounts of the value of not less
than 500 at any mint of the United
States to be formed in standard silver
dollars or bars fer his benefit and with
out charge; and that at said owners
option he may have for an equivalent of
such standard dollar" in treasury notes
of the same form description and
having the same lesai qualities as the
notes provided for by the act approved
July IA, 1890, entitled, an act directing
the purchase of silver bullion and the
issue of treasury notes thereon, and for
other purposes and all such treasury
notes issued under the provisions of this
act shall be a legal tender for their NOM
inal amount in payment of all debts,
public and private, and shall be received
for customs taxes and all public dues
and when received may be issued in the
same manner and to the same extent as
other treasury notes." After further ar
gument Senator Teller obtained the
floor, and the senate adjourned.
The House.
In the house the conferenc report on
the urgent deficiency bill was agreed to.
The motion to suspend the rules to pass
the bill for retiring mates in the navy
was lost, SO to 101. The rules were sus-
pended and the senate bill for building
at Danville, Ills, was passed; also bill
for a building at Richmond, KY. and
bill for the relief of the owners of the
bark Xenophon.

And Decide to Pass a Silver Bill as Soon
as Possible.

And Decide to Pass Silver Bill as Soon
as Possible.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Republican
members of the senate to the number of
twenty-seven met at the residence of
Senator Stockbridge to discuss the SEN
ate programme, on account of the action
of the silver senators in voting with the
Democrats to lay aside the election bill
and take up the financial bill 1t was
called for the purpose of determining
whether the senate should attempt to
"sit out" the election bill under the ex-
listing rules or adopt new rules and put
it through. The action of the senate in
laying the election bill aside was unex-
pected. 1t seemed SO positive and final
that Mr.. Hoar stated to brother Re-
publican during the afternoon that the
Election Bill Was Dead.
This feeling got abroad in the senate
and destroyed the interest in the caucus
1t was so small that all formality was
laid aside and the conference split up
into little groups of senators who dis
cussed the situation with each other.
The general impression prevailed that
the financial bill would have to be dis
posed of before anything else could be
taken up.
Silver Senators Insisted.
The silver senators, several of whom
were present, insisted On this and it was
agreed informally to continue discussion
of the bill and to try and pass
it by Thursday under existing
rules. 1t was generally conceded that
the free coinage amendment of Senator
Stewart, or something like it, would
prevail. 1t was suggested that the DEM
ocratic senators, in order to prevent the
consideration of the election bill, would
prelong the discussion of the financial
bill. 1t this event, it was said, it would
be necessary to adopt the closure rule.
When the necessity for this appears
another caucus will be called. The eau
Gus broke up at 10 o'clock.

aroused among navy officers over the
series of orders emanating from the

war ships at San Francisco and the Or
dering of various other cruisers to Pa
cifc waters.
Under the present orders, no less than
eleven war ships and five revenue cut
tiers will soon be in commission in the
Pacific and ready for duty. If in addi-
ton the rumored chartering and arming
of seven steamers for revenue cutter
