If the senate could not legislate under
its rules it must follow the example
of other Legislative bodies, in none of
which were such scenes as had taken
place here possible. Every national body
in the world except this had effective
means of closing the debate. IF this con-

"We ask our brother senators on the

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-Field Marshal Maurice
de MacMahon, duke of Magenta, ex-presi-
dent of the French republic. and one of
the most renowned soldiers of the empire,
died yesterday. The immediate cause Of
death was la grippe. Born on July 13.
1SOS, MacMahon was in his S6th year. His
death has been expected. In May last he
was attacked by la grippe. and he had
never recovered from the effects of il, He
had been slowly but steadily failing since
the beginning OF autumn. The death of
the old warrior and statesman has spread
genuine sorrow throughout France. and
will doubtless subdue somewhat the ex-
travagance Of the demonstration caused
by the visit OF the Russian feet to Toulon
The fetes and receptions will he simplifed
and the gala attire of Paris may give way
TO one of mourning. The government has
ordered the flags on all departments TO be

MacMahon's Military Career.
MacMahon's career had been practically
the history of France during the past
sixty years. In 1880 at the age of -, he
was baptized with fire in AlGiers and
ever since his name and personality had
been intimately assoc ated with the an
nails of the French army. For more than
two generations ne gloried in the tri-

He won the distinction of marshal of
France by his conduct on the field of Ma

Africa IN 1888 he assisted Mt the siege of
Constantine, and though wounded during
the conflict by splinter from a shell he

ramparts. Rising, grade by grade in
Africa as well as in France, he was nom.

HOW HE TOOK THE MALAkoFF.
His Brief Message to Napoleon Announc-

His Brief Message to Napoleon Announc-
ing the Great Event.
MacMahon was Immediately ordered to
undertake the risky job 1t is recorded Of
him that before doing this daring deed he
said: Il will take the Malakoff or I will
never leave it aliver' and when the bull
lets were raining around him during the
assault and his aide-de-camp begged of
him to take shelter from the ememy's
fire he said: 'Dn not trouble about me
am surely master of my own skin. ."
After long and crucial struggle he at
last captured the Malakoff from he heights
OF which he sent the emperor the follow
ing brief, but significant message: "J'y
suis-J'y reste" (''Here I am-here | re-
mainv')-a pungeut phrase which has be-
come immortal.
Meets the United Germans
AT the outbreak of the Franco-German
war great hopes were placed on MacMahon
he received command Of the army of the
south and moved toward the frontier. On
Aug. q, 1870, he encountered the German
forces at Worth, and was forced to retreat
in disorder to Nancy, where he proceeded
to reorganize the scattered forces, retreat
ing from different points on the frontier.
with the view of defending the capital.
While so engaged he was ordered to pro-
coed to the relies Of Metz, and thus retard
the advance Of the victorious Germans on
Paris. He entered promptly on the disas-
trous march which ended at Sedan, where
he was dangerously wounded early in the
day by shell.
End OF His Public Life.
His defeat, although it affected him
greatly, did not end his career, for after
his capture by the Germans, who treated
him with great consideration and released
him soon his wound was healed he
returned to France and ably assisted Pres.
ldent Theirs in recognizing the French
army, and in 1873 succeeded Theirs in the
presidency of the French republic, which
he held through stormy period. ending
with his own resignation in 1879
Where He Got His Fighting Blood
MacMahon was, of course, an Irishman
by descent. His great grandfather. who
traced his lineage to Brian Boru, was the
last of the race to rule over an ancest raj
deInesne in that couatry. Having taken
sides with the Stuarts he was stripped of
his property, n price was set upon his
head by the English government and he
roamed an outlaw on the hills DURING
several months, at the expiration of which
he succeeded in escaping to France He
at once became a medical student in
