COL. SHEPARD DEAD.
Death Follows the Administration of
Ether by His Physician.
The Cause Is Given as Cedema of the
Lungs-The End Came Quietly
but Peacefully.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Colonel e. F.
Shepard, editor OF the Mall and Express,
died suddenly this afternoon at his home.
His death followed the administration of
ether by DIR. Charles McBurney and his
family doctor, DR.. McLain, who were
about to make an examination to ascer-
tain if the Colonel's suspicion that he
suffered from stone in the bladder was
correct. Last evening he merely told his
manager, 4. B. DeFreece, that he would
probably not be down on Friday, but he
would be there Saturday afternoon. Be-
fore the arrival of the doctor he COM
planned of severe pains, and called up the
Mail and Cypress and gave a number OF
instructions about the future conduct of
the newspaper in case anything should
happen to him. Later the distress he
suffered left him, and when the ply
sicians and nurses came in he was in
good spirits. He induced his wife and
youngest daughters, Marguerite and
Alice, who were at home, to go off to
Scarboro for the day. His son, Elliot F.
Shepard, jr., was at home.
About o'clock Colonel Shepard said
he was ready for the surgeons, and they,
with the nurses, began the work of put
ting him under ether. He inhaled She
drug but two or three Times when the
physicians detected dangerous symptoms
and stopped the inhalations. Colonel
Shepard sank rapidly and for some time
1t was feared that he could not be rallied.
Powerful restoratives were administered
and acthe end of an hours work with
oxygen he was restored TO partial con-
seriousness and continued apparently to
rally until 4 O'Clock. Then, without
warning. and for no apparent reason he
began rapidly to sink. The oxygen treat
ment was resumed, but it was OF n avail
and at APO O'Clock he died. He was I'M
conscious and death was peaceful.
The cause of death as given by the phy-
sicians was cedema OF the lungs. I'M
mediately before Colonel Shepard's death
messages were sent to Mrs. Shepard an
nouncing that he was very low and might
not live. She reached the house at 6
O'Clock. Immediate friends of the family
soon began to arrive and strings Of car
riages were continually at the Fifth ave-
nue. side all evening. At late hour no
arrangements had been made for the
! funeral.
Elliott Fitch Shepard was born in
jamestown. Chautauqua county, N. Y,
July %, 1888. He was educated at the
university of the city of New York, and
was admitted to the bar in 1855 and for
many years practiced in New York city.
In 1861 and 1862 he was aide-de- camp on
the staff of Governor Edwin D. Morgan,
in command of the depot of volunteers at
/ Elmira, N Y, and aided in organizing
and equipping and forwarding to the
field nearly 90, 900 troops. He was instru-
mental in raising the Fifty-first New
/ York regiment, which was named for
him, the Shepard Rifles. He was the
/ founder of the New York State Bar asso-
citation in 1875, which formed model for

in other states. In March, 1888, he pur-

TWO REPORTS NOW READY.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Mr. Vance,

pointed by the governors of Montana,

Mr.. Ashley says the strike was ordered
at meeting of less than twenty, out OF
total of forty-six members of the brother
hood employed on the road. Chief Ar
thur, he says, ordered or approved both
the strike and boycott, not only with the
knowledge that both were ille-
gal, but with the knowledge that
the United States court had issued
mandatory injunction to the men on
connecting lines not to refuse to handle
Ann Arbor cars, yet, says Mr.. Ashley,
Mr.. Arthur advertises himself as law
abiding citizen.
The right of men to quit the service of
the company in any manner and at
any time which does not endanger lives
or property, has always been conceded,
but the engineers have denied the rights
OF others to perform the same service at
the rates of pay refused by them, and
have individually and collectively de-
stroyed property, placed the business OF
innocent and outside persons in jeopardy
ana made themselves felons in the
eyes of the law in order to accomplish
! their purposes. Yet Mr.. Arthur con-
tinues to advertise himself as law-abid-
ing citizen.
Ashley has offered $40, 900 reward for
the apprehension of the person who
caused the derailment of a passenger
train near Owosso Wednesday night.

queen Victoria Raises the Rank of Her
Minister TO This Country.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-rhe state de-
partment has received official information
that Queen Victoria has raised the rank
of Sir Julian Paunc eforte, her representa-
tive in Washington, from that of extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary to
that OF ambassador, and his credentials as
such are on their way here, under the pro-
visions of the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill passed March 1, 1893.
President Cleveland is authorized to con-
fer the same rank upon our representa-
tive at London. Sir Julian Paunceforte
will be the first minister to Washington to
hold the title of ambassador, but it is
highly probable that France, Germany,
Russia and Austria viii be prompt to fol-
low the example thus set by England and
change the titles of their ministers to am
bassadors, thus necessitating through in
ternational courtesy corresponding
change on our part.

sIExIcAN TRADE.

Banks are Pressing Borrowers on Ae-
count of Several LARGE Failures.
CRY OF Mexico, March q. = The
banks have recently been pressing bor-
rowers in consequence of reports from the
interior that announce several large fail
ures of concerns of a speculative nature.
The banks however, state that the mer-
camille community generally is entirely
solvent. The tremendous premium on
foreign exchange resulting from deprecia-
tons of silver has had the effect of dimin-
ishing importations OF goods from
Europe, such as cotton textiles and
paper and in this way the government
finds custom house collections have de-
creased. 1t is said the question of slim
ulating imports by a reduction of tariff
rates will be considered.

thus far, however, has not yielded to any
of these opportunities, and he remarked to
one who desired the retention of clerk:
"My dear sir, it is not matter OF choice
on my part, but case of necessity. not
only have no money with which to pay
these employees, but have no work for
them to do.''

= Pretty Woman Found Dead in a
Theatrical Boarding House.
NEW YORK, March 24.-There was a
mysterious death at theatrical boarding
house here tonight. A pretty woman
was found dead in bed and she left letters
behind her which reveal painful history
OF bad treatment, love and suicide. At
o. clock tonight messenger came to the
house with telegram. It was addressed
to Mrs. q. e. Stevens and the landlady
took it to the new tenants room. She
was in bed and seemed stupid, as though
under the influence OF drink or drugs.
Later she made another call at the room
and was startled to find the young woman
dead.

Some New Developments in the
Hawaiian Matter.
AN IMPORTANT DISPATCH

Davies the Guardian of KaiauIani Very
Anxious to Have Her Upon the
Throne Figuring With
the British Consul

New YORK, March ia rornvng
paper claims to have unearthed some
thing new in the Hawaiian matter, and
this is the story: A supposed dispatch
from Princess Kaiaulani's guardian to
Father Cleghorn was discovered in the
Brevort house. The message, if genu-
inc, is fraught with importance. 1t
reads:
TO Cleghorn. British Consul, Honoiulu
Suggest Vic to Blount, talk Yankee greed
and sugar.
(Signed) DAVIES
On Wednesday evening while William
Avn OF Plttsburg was writing In one OF
the general rooms of the hotel, he OBJ
served a telegraph form sticking between
the desk and wall. On examination it
proved to be the dispatch above quoted.
An ink blot had fallen across the words
British Consulate, - which may have
been the reason why the form was dis
carded. Anvil showed the message to the
hotel clerks, but declined to let it 90 out
of his possession.
The clerks were inclined to treat the
matter as a jest, although they were forced
to admit the handwriting bore a striking
resemblance 10 that of Mr.. Davies. The
hotel telegraph operator declined to say
whether he dispatched any such message.
a gentleman acquainted with Davies
and Hawaiian affairs, being shown a copy
of the message, said: ''Vic. in the mes
sage was undoubtedly meant for Victoria,
that being Princess Kaiaulani's first
name. The Cleghorn addressed is prob
ably Archibald Cleghorn, Kaiaulani's
father. Reading between the lines, I
should say that Davies suggests to Cleg-
horn to see Commissioner Blount when he
arrives in Hawaii, and suggest to him the
expediency of re- establishing a monarchy
with Kalaulani on the throne.
''He also counsels him to accuse Ameri-
| cans as having interested motives in ask
ing for annexation, and to dwell upon the
sugar industry of the islands as the prob
able cause of these motives.'' Anvil to-
day forwarded the dispatch with an ex-
planatory note to Secretary Gresham.

Declared Forfeited.

A Grant to the Southern Pacific Railway
Declared Forfeited.
WASHINGTON, March "a. = Secretary
Hoke Smith today rendered his first land
decision. 1t was the case OF the Southern
Pacific railroad and involved the question
of the right of that company to lands
within its granted limits and limits of the
grant TO the Atlantic & Pacific railroad,
hasing its claim on the ground that the
latter company had never complied with
the requirements of the grant. in the
matter of locating its road, and the for
fixture of its grant. The secretary holds,
however, that the Southern Pacific COM
pany had acquired no title to the lands in
question under its grant.
This decision operates to open these
lands aggregating many thousands of
acres in Southern California to settlement
and entry. The commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office is accordingly directed to
take the step necessary to restore them
TO the public domain.

PARIS, March 4.-Although President
Carnot has kept silent under all the
charges and insinuations coupling his
name with the Panama scandal, mem
bers of his family are not inclined to be
equally patient. Ernest, son of Presi-
dent Carnot, has written to Eclaire, COM
planning of the quotation published in
that journal, from German newspaper,
to the effect that he (Ernest) received
money in 1888 from the Panama canal
bribery fund. Ernest states that at the
time mentioned he was only q years Of
ago and a student in the School OF Mines,
and entirely unknown in political circles.
He, therefore, denounces as an infamous

any Panama money.
