GEN. BERDAN DEAD,
Tho Soldier and Inventor Expires Suddenly

Tho Soldier and Inventor Expires Suddenly
at the Metropolitan Club.
Gen. Hiram Bcrdan, the famous inventor
and soldier, died suddenly in this city yester-
day afternoon. He appeared at the Metropolitan
Club about o'clock and went into the loggia,
where he had a short conversation with Mai.
Sanger. secretary Of the oiuo. during which he
remarked that he did not feel exactly right.
A few minutes later he engaged in game of
chess with an old friend. Admiral Crosby,
which had not progressed far when without
the least warning he fell from his chair and e1-
pired almost Immediately.
Drs. T. Morris Murray and Irving T. Rosse
were Immediately summoned, but they came
too late.
DR.. Hyatt. his regular physician, also came
as soon as possible.
hasty examination was made and the con-
clusion reached that death was due to cerebral
hemorrhage or apoplexy. The general had
been sufferer from heart trouble for some
time and that complication undoubtedly contrib.
uted to his death. The remains were placed in
charge OF Undertaken Gawler.
All OF Gen. Berdans immediate relatives are
in Europe, Mrs. Berdan being in Sorrento,
Italy, on visit to her daughter who is the wife
| OF the well-known novelist. Il. Marion Crawford.
| His other daughter is the Countess Donan,
| wife of the French envoy extraordinary and
minister plenlpotentiary to Stockholm Sweden
| The news Of Gen. Berdan's death was cabIed to
| them, and the funeral will be delayed until
| their wishes can be ascertained.
Arrangements are being made for the funeral
| services to take place at st. John Church st 8
| O'Clock Monday afternoon. The lntermsnt will
be at Arlington.
| HIS DISTINGUISHED CAREER.
| Gen. Berdan's name aud fame are familiar to
| all students Of American history and modern
warfare. He was born at Plymouth, Mich,
sixty-nine years ago. He always enjoyed the
| highest social ~ we'll a. official distinction.
He was colonel Of the first United States
sharpshoosers on November 80, 1881, and was
brevetted brisadier general Of volunteers for
! gallant and meritorious services In the battle
Of Charlottesville and major general Of vol
unteers for bravery at tho battle Of Gettys-
| burg.
| Tho general always took especial pride In the
fact that he was the first to introduce repeating
rifles into actual and effective service, which he
did with the weapon Of his own invention.
Among other inventions Of Gen. Berdsn were
| his military torpedoes, and more recently
his loug-range finder, both Of which have
| become almost as famous as his rife.
Gen. Berdan was for several years in Russia
| and because Of his services to that govern
| ment was awarded q considerable sum of
| money. He entered into contracts with Russia
for furnishing the cars army with large sup
plies OF the celebrated rifle bearing his name.

Celebration of the Great Hebrew Festival
In the Synagogue. Today.
At sunset last evening the joyous Feast Of the
Passover was inaugurated in the Jewish syna-
gogues o. the city. The feast. which continues
eight days, was begun with home services, and
today at the synsgogues music was a leading
feature of the elaborate services.
At the home services the father or head Of the
family read to the household the narrative OF
the exodus out of Egypt, followed by the
drinking Of bitter herbs to symbolic the bitter
ness Of slavery. Wine was drunk to emphasize
the pleasure Of freedom.
During the remaining DAYS of the feast the
services are symbolic OF the passage of the
Israelitcs from out of Egyptian bondage the
passage through the Dead sea and their final
deliyerance. The services are especially in
stTuctiye to the children through their sym-
bolical character, although designed both for
young and old
Rabbi Stern OF the Eighth Street Synagogue
conducted the services before quite Il large con-
Sregatlon. The musical part of the services
was both elaborate and delightful. and Rabbi
Stern sermon was an eloquent allusioE to the
lessons to be learned through the advent of the
spring season
Spring. he said. pi oclaimed with thousand
tongues nature sweet message of life and hope
that there was no real doubt. but that with
God all was lie and joy. Springs deliyerance

NO NEWSPAPER WORK,

Naval Officers Must Not in Future Act a
Correspondents.
The new regulations for the government Of
the navy. formulated after several years con.
sideration, provide, among other things. that
naval officers shall not act as correspondents
for newspapers This is not the language Of
the provision in question, but it is the effect.
The practice of writing for the press has
grown in the navy until recently several officers
were regularly employed by sons Of the metro
politan journals to keep them informed Of cur
rent events in the service.
Some officers have made quite a reputation a.
correspondents, and always receive good pay
for their work. This extra money is quite a
consideration to the junior officers with small
salaries.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
MI. Crisp and Mr.. Tarsney Both Deny the
Confere noes Attributed to Them.

MI. Crisp and Mr.. Tarsney Both Deny the
Conferences Attributed to Them.
As stated some time since in The STAR,
President Cleveland has fully determined to
call an extra session of Congress. The date
has now been fixed the LIST Of September.
Mr.. Cleveland has frankly acknowledged this
decision to several members of Congress 70.
Gently. His desire in calling the extra
session is principally to have tariff Law
enacted at the earliest possible date, the LIST OF
April being the latest. in order that the law
may be in operation for seven months before
the public is asked to pass judgment on it II
the November elections.
The publication this morning however, that
Speaker Crisp had consulted with the President
yesterday, thar the President had exacted as.
surances from the Speaker that the latter
would support all his policies and had con.
ferred with him about the committees is denied
both at the White House and by the Speaker
friends.
Speaker Crisp was not at the White House
yesterday. Those who are close to hin, say be
has had no consultation at all with the Presi-
dent on the lines indicated in the published
story.
As to the appointment Of committees. Mr..
Crisp is not Speaker OF the nextsHouse and nat.
urally has done nothing on that line.
Mr.. Tarsney Of Missouri. who is accredited
in the published stories with having been sent
for by the Speaker subsequent to the alleged
interview between the President and the
Speaker. says the story Of the relations be.
tween Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Crisp 10 too ab-
surd for consideration.
The further statement that he had beer
offered the craftsmanship of the committee on
invalid pensions by Mr.. Crisp, Mr.. Tarsney
says is absolutely without foundation. The
matter, he says, had not even been discussed
he had neither asked for nor had he been
offered any committee assignment.
The foundation fo- connecting him with the
story was probably due to his often-expressed
convictions that the necessary reforms in the
pension system could not be worked out
unless Congress invited to con-
slider the necessity of such reform: the
scope of the necessary reform was pointed out
by an executive message, and the formation of
the committee on invalid pensions was thor
oughlv in accord. As for himself, the duties
devoiving upon such committee were the very
last he would desire to assume.
Another evidence of the absurdity of the
story, said Mr.. Tarsney, was that be should have
gratuitously offered an insult to the G. A. 4. or
any other organization
