DEATH SCENE WAS TOUCHING.
Further Particulars of the Passing
Away of the Comte de Paris.

London, Sept 8-The Comte de Paris
died at o'clock this morning at the
Stowe house. During the night the
passed away; so feeble was the pulse.
DR.. Pecomier had the most extreme
difficulty frequently in feeling the
light beats of the heart and the weak
ness of the distinguished sufferer dur
ing the last hours of the sickness was
so great that he was unable to speak,
although he succeeded in making it
apparent that he desired to utter few
more words of farewell to those around.
The family and old servants were all
in attendance and to- each one the
head of the royal house of France fee
bly, said a few additional kind words of
farewell, after which the family knelt
by the bedside and offered up heartfelt
prayers for the dying. He rarely, how
ever, referred to the approaching death,
always trying to soothe the sorrow Of
those around him. Now and then a
deep sigh would escape from the suf-
ferer and he would mutter a phrase
often repeated during the past week:
&C. est bien lorg," equivalent to saying
that he was very WARY of awaiting
for death.
The death scene was most touching.
The Confess de Paris closed her hus-
bands eyes and all the princes sand
princeSses in the order of their rank
stepped forward and kissed the hand
of the dead man.
After the death of the comte, the fol-
lowing notice was posted upon the
gates of Stowe house:
1.-The Comte de Paris gradually sank
during last evening and night. He
suffered no pain and quietly passed
away in the presence of his family,
and the princes and princesses at $40
this morning."
The body of the Comte de Paris re-
poses on the bed on which he died
The tri-color flag, over the triumphaI
arch at the entrance of the park at
Stowe house was half-masted shortly
after the comte's death.
A special train will convey the re-
main to Weybridge Wednesday or
Thursday. At Weybridge, there is
Roman Catholic church in which the
bodies of Louis Philippe and his wife
were placed before being transferred
to Dreux. 1t is now believed that the
body of the comte, by permission of the
French government, will eventually be
transported to DreuX.

SALT CITY, UTAH SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER o

not to attempt to lower the waters on
the plain. This is in order to prevent
a Japanese advance.
Advices from New Chwang, China,
says that on September 1, the British
steamer Foitung, which was taking on
a cargo for Japan, was ordered to stop
the work of loading by the authorities
On September 2, twelve japanese wo-
men and the Japanese consul went on
the vessel in distress. All the houses
of the women had been destroyed, and
they had been robbed and maltreated
by Chinese soldiers. The women had
been rescued and hidden by Europeans
until they could be sent aboard the YES
sci. They were taken to the vessel, two
and three at a time, in disguise. The
steamer was soon surrounded by boats
full of Chinese seeking to get hold of
the refugees. Two soldiers actually
boarded the vessel, but they were
quickly elected. No further attempt to
get aboard was made. In the afternoon
of the I'd a military official came
off the steamer and advised that she
leave port the same nigft, otherwise
the authorities might possibly be un-
able to prevent trouble. Word has not
been received of the arrival of the
steamer at Kobe, Japan.

Victoria. B. c.. Sept. S.-Peking and
Tien Tsin advices by the Empress of
China give a translation of recently
issued circular note addressed to the
ministers of the various countries by
the Chinese imperial foreign Office for
communication to their respective gov
ernments. The Chinese version of the
Corean trouble is given in detail, COM
mencing with the rebellion in Corea.
The statement proceeds:
ITO our establishment Japan also dis
patched troops to Corea, pretending
that it was for the purpose of assisting
to ouell the rebellion, their real object
being to occupy Seoul, which they did,
depositing themselves at all important
passes. They continued to reinforce
themselves until their number rose to
awards of 10000 men, and then de-
manded that Corea should repudiate
her allegiance to China and declare her
self independent. Japan further drew
up a great number of rules and regula-
lions for the alteration of the govern
ment of Corea which she required the
king to conform to in every particular.
The circular goes on to say that China,
out of consideration for the commenda-
BILE efforts of the powers to effect a
neaceable solution or the d1ff1culty, mad
abstained from bloodshed, and then
concludes:
Notwithstanding all this, and by
the most unexpected and treacherous
scheme. the Japanese, on the 23rd of
the sixth month July 25 collected a
number of their vessels of war outside
the point of Yashan and commenced
hostilities by firing on and damaging
our transport ships and attacked and
sank the British steamer Kow Shing,
flying the English flag. This, there
fore. is the commencement of the war
on their part. which is beyond all justi-
fication. and China, having done her
part hitherto to preserve the good fell
lowship Of nations, can carry forbear-
ance no further. but feels constrained
to take effectual measures for the man
agement of affairs. We anticipate that
the various governments will hear of
those extraordinary proceedings with
wonder and surprise. They will know
where to Law the entire blame which
attaches.
''This full statement of the particu-
lar circumstances under which Japan
has iniouitously and unlawfully COM
menced war, is, your excellency, to be
communicated to your respective gov
ernmentS for INSPECTION

senators from Louisiana and elsewhere
and the great sugar trust of the coun-
try, the duty demanded on sugar; they
gave the Populists the income tax, but
did not give Senator Brice protective
tariff on wool for his Ohio constituents,
for the senator did not demand it. He
says he did not. He does not tell us
what concessions were made to him
nor by whom they were made, but the
people of Ohio, looking upon their dis
tressed industries, have fully deter
mined that not one of them received
one consideration at his hands.
Hatred and Jealousy.
1t gives some protection 1t has some
free trade in it here and some there,
but mostly here in the north. There
is tariff on peanuts, but free trade in
cotton ties; there is a tariff on sumac,
but free trade on wool.
There is a tariff on mica, but free
trade in lumber In every schedule
there is the grossest exhibition of sec
uonalism and unjust discrimination.
Governor Mckinley was especially
severe in his characterization of the
case of the Louisiana representatives,
who were promised protection for their
sugar interests and then left out in the
cold. He devoted considerable time to
comparison of the tariff bill of 1890
with the new law TO the advantage OF
the former. The law of 1894, he said,
has struck the farmer right and left.
He has been shown no mercy what
ever. The deadliest blow is against the
wool-grower.
The concluding portion of the address
was an arraignment of the Democra tic
party for what were described as its
false pretenses, for it's treachery to
pensioners of the Union army and navy
and for its incapacity to conduct the
affairs of the nation.

CoREA AND JAPAN.
High Officials Here Appear to Be on
the Most Friendly Terms.


San Francisco, Sept. S.--Several days
ago a story was printed here that Ye
Sang 500. the Corean minister, who is
sojourning at hotel in this city, had
conntermanded his order for transpor-
tation on the outgoing steamer Belgic,
which sailed today, rather than make
the trip in the company of the Japanese
imperial prince. Kamatsu, who has
been here for several days.
The information, as might have been
expected. was carried to the prince, who
expressed considerable surprise that
the minister of Corea should have so
expressed himself.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the
minister, who has been i'll since he ar
rived here. requested Major Hooper,
manager of the hotel at which he is
stopping, to present his respects to the
prince. who was domiciled at the
Palace. and explain to him that he en-
dos cousin and would gladly enjoy his
company on the Belgic.
Unfortunately, however, he was too
i'll to make the sea voyage and he as
sured the prince that this fact was his
only reason for countermanding his
tickets.
Major Hooper's visit resulted in some
pleasant correspondence between the
Japanese and Corean representatives
and at nightfall the prince sent mes
sage to the minister expressing deep
regret at his illness, and wishing him
speedy. recovery.
This afternoon, Prince Kamatsu de-
parted for the Orient, and before go
ing he gave a banquet at the Palace
to the Japanese consul and others of
the mikado's local representatives.

CORNrCE WORKERS LOCKED OUT.
Eleven Firms Are Now Involved i'm
the Trouble.

Chicago, Sept. ga part of the en-
ployees of five additional firms repor-
ted at the headquarters of the Cornice
Workers union last night that they
had been locked out, and men employed
by two other firms were ordered to
leave their places by the officers of the
union. This makes a total of eleven
firms now involved in the trouble,
either through the lockout or because
their men had gone out on strike
1t is said the full effect of the order Of
the employers to lock out the men
would not be known until tonight,
when all the men will have reported to
the officers of the union.
The most important proceedings in
connection with the strike was the
meeting of the business agents of the
Building Trades council. At this meet
ing the representatives of the various
unions declared that they would sup
port the cornice makers, and that no
member of their organiza tons would
work on building where non-union
|cornice makers were employed. In con-
sequence of this decision it is believed
the trouble will spread to a considera-
bic extent during the next few days.

POLITICS In NORWAY.
The Two Main Parties, the Left and
the Right, Are Contrasting Every
Inch of Ground.

The Two Main Parties, the Left and
the Right, Are Contesting Every
Inch of Ground.
Stockholm, Sept. Especial correspond
ence to the Associated Press. The most
important political campaign in the his
tory of Norway is now going on. MI
merous meetings are being held, and the
two main parties, the right and left,
are contestlng every inch of ground. The
first elections to the Storthing resulted
favorably to the Radicals, but later on
the Conservatives were victorious in sew
eral districts. This alarmed the party of
the left, especially as there was strife
between that party and the socialists.
Some kind of deal had to be made,
and the left decided to insert in its plat
form one of the principles of the so
cialistic party-the demand for universal
suffrage, with the help OF the socialists,
the left hoping to secure majority for
its candidates. who are in favor of a
separate minister of foreign affairs for
Norway and also of separate consuls. In
some judicial courts of the country, no
cases can be heard or taken up, the rea-
son being that the judges have deserted
their benches and are travelling through
the country making speeches in the in
terest of the radicals.
Should the election result favorably TO
the Radicals, the Swedish rigsdag must
Immediately act in regard to the con-
sular questions, as the constitution of
Sweden says Sweden and Norway shall
have mutual conSulateS. The radical
Norwegian party has few, if any, friends
in the Swedish rigsdag. AT present more
than forty members are peasants. The
rest have liberal ideas, but are conserv-
atives as regards the claim of the party
of the left of Norway and most of them
regard the consular question as one that
can only be solved by war or the dis
solution of the union.
The health of the Crown Princess Vic
toria, who is granddaughter of the
late Emperor William, is growing worse,
and public secret is that she Is slowly
dying from consumption.

Omaha, Neb, Sept. S.-As result of

These reports indicate that the actual

promise to become as serious as hereto
fore predicted. Only in the western
portion of the state are there likely to
be urgent demands for aid.

Lodge and the Uniform Rank.
Washington, Sept. Sat the session
of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of
Pythias today, the new code of stat
utes was adopted after third read
ing. A protest was made by Colonel
Herskel of the first battalion, first
regiment Of Indiana, against the de-
cision of the local committee in with
holding the battalion prize from the
organization, because it was the only
one to compete. The Supreme lodge
decided it had no jurisdiction In the
matter. A plan to raise funds for the
Pythian anniversary at Gallatin,
Tenn. was opened and under it a sub
scription of % cents will be required
from each knight. The new code of
rules makes the supreme lodge and the
uniform rank Independent of each
other, so it is not certain they will
meet at the same place hereafter.
