WALTHAM, Mass, Sept. 1.-General Ma
thaniel p. Banks. soldier and statesman,
died at his home, on Main street, this
city, shortly before s o'clock, this morning,
from brain trouble, after a long illness.
FOR nearly two years the General has been
a sufferer, but he was not taken seriously
i'll until about a week ago. Early this sum-
mer he began to fail mentally, and was
taken to the home of his daughter, the
wife of the Rev. Paul Sterling, at Mount
Deer isle, Maine, for the summer. Three
weeks ago his condition became more seri-
Gus and he was brought to his home here.
He grew worse, and he was then taken to
the Mclean asylum. at Somerville. He
succumbed rapidly, and when he could not
recognize members of his family it was de-
cided by the physicians that nothing could
be done for him, and yesterday he was con-
veyed to mis- home once more. He began
to sink rapidly, n at 6 o'clock last even
ing it was evident the end was fast APP

erals daughter Maud and his niece. Miss
SybiI Banks, were at his bedside constant
ly until his death. AT midnight he became
unconscious and slowly lost his strength

very quietly, and those gathered about the
dying General were hardly aware when he
passed away.
on the announcement of General Banks's
death the flags of the public buildings in
this city were displayed at half mast, and
on every side evidence of the respect in
which the General is held is conspicuous.

and Colonel Stevens. ON Monday afternoon
the body will be escorted to Asbury Tenn
pie by a detail of the G. a. r., where il

DIRECT FROM DOLE,
A Letter From the Wife of the
President of Hawaii.

BOULDER, Col. Jan. 1.-Under date OF
December 9. Mrs. Dole, wife of the Presi-
dent of Hawaii, wrote an interesting letter
to her nephew, Guy Dennet of this CITY.
from which this extract is taken: "Tbe
news Of CIeveland's policy of restoring the
Queen came upon US like a thunderbolt.
The excitement is intense here. The Pro
gency in splendid way. | admire their
magnificent courage even while [ tremble.
They fortified the executive building more
strongly and gave out publicly that they
would resist attacks from whatever quar-
ter. They are ready to sacrifice their lives
in this great cause. the cause of freedom
and civilization in these islands.
"It all reminds me more than ANYTHING
of the old revolutionary times in the United
States. There Is the same spirit and much
the same cause. Is 1t not good how
Cleveland's plan for restoring the Queen
on the 10th of November was frustrated.
and how the great American people have
risen mp in their wrath and will restrain
him? 1t is fine thing to do. and to think
of little Hawaii causing all this excite
ment. But there is a tremendous principle
involved in the struggle of freedom and
right against m0narchical tyranny and
wrong. 1t is grand to see the spirit here.
believe now that the people have taken
up our cause we shall be all right. and we
are hoping for good news from Congress
by the next steamer"

has been unnotced.
1t has now reached the theorists period
and his ideas are without number. 1t has
beer suggested by some of Evans sup.
posed friends that he has given the officers
the dodge and is now many miles from
their snowy camp in Simpsons Flat
They reason that Evans is too clever to
think of trying to battle with the noun

there is no doubt he pretended to 90 up

OF Friday evening set in he was met by
fresh team and hurriedly taken in an op-
poSlte direction. doing his travelling only
by night. If it were not that this IS the
view of Evans friends, it would seem
probable that it is correct and
that the officers are on a cold trail
The idea most general, however,
is that Evans had a camp and sup
plies awaiting in his familiar mountain
rendezvous and that he and Comrade
Morrel are snugly sheltered from the
mountain storm, while Sheriff Scott and
posse are watching every avenue of escape,
hoping that the bandits will run into their
clutches in an effort to get out of the
storm and secure supplies of food and
clothing.
Sheriff Scott and posse, who are after
Evans and Morrell, are still unheard
from. The fact that some word is not re-
ceived from them is said to be due to the
order Scott gave the posse TO keep their
work secret from the press, claiming that
the bandits make use Of the published
plans of the officers in 9vading the officers
From this it seems that nothing is likely
to be heard from them till they do battle,
make capture or give UP the chase

HARVARD ATHLETICS,
A Sharp Line to Be Drawn Between
Professionals and Amateurs.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Jan. To-day the
new athletic rules which are to purify
Harvard athletics went into effect. They
are the final product of many years work
by old Harvard coachers and men who are
leaders in athletics. The primary purpose
of these rules is to purify all individual
and team athletics from any tinge of pro-
fessionalism. These rules are drawn up
and signed by Bertram G. Waters and
George A. Stewart They are very strict

froma college athletics all but bona-fide
members of the university. The time
limit regulation provides that no student,
whether he has represented one or more
colleges. shall take part in intercollegiate
contests for more than four years, and this
period shall begin with the year in which,
as player upon q university team, he fret
represented any college: In reckoning
these four years any year of probation and
any year lost to the student by illness
shall be excluded. By these rules many
Harvard star athletes will be thrown out
of playing for the remainder of this year,

THE OLD GLOBE GONE
Burning of One of BcSton's Most
Famous Theaters.
For a Time IL Looked as Though the
Fire Could Not Be

BOsToN, Jan. 2, 2:15 A. M.-The Globe
Theater was completely gutted and the
property of Hanlon's superb company
was ruined by fire early this morning.
Every engine that could be spared was
being used to protect adjacent property.
At this hour the large six-story buildin z
Just erected by the Hs-7 ard College trus-
tees has caught. and it looks as if the en-
tire block on Harrison avenue extension
will be swallowed up. On the Essex
street side, adjoining the theater. are valu-
able blocks of buildings occupied by large
business concerns.
The streets of the city are in total dark
ness and the electricians have ceased to
run, owing to the currents being turned
off. The heavens are Illuminated with a
blaze which can be seen for miles around

fire was started i'll the courtroom of the
theater by some one throwing a lighted
cigarette on the foot.
The estimated loss on the theater is in
the neighborhood Of S5OO.OOO and that of
the Hanlon company $4,000. The fire is
still raging, and there is no telling where
ii will stop.
2;25 A. M.-The fire has been checked on
the Essex-street and HarTison-avenue ex-
tension side OF the theater, but is eating
its way into the buildings on the other
side. TIE Globe cafe is a total loss.
There is fair prospect of confining the
flames within the present limits. 1t is i'm
possible to state what the loss will amount
to in the business buildings.
At 1886 A. NJ. tie fire was apparently
under control and the danger of general
conflagration passed. The total loss will
undoubtedly reach nearly $1,000, coo. All

White House to-day and confined in the
First Precinct station-house. Her ap-
peafance at the White House was not a
surprise to tie officers there. as Captain
Dexter on Saturday had received a letter
from her announcing shat she would be Oh

siderable money left her by her parents in
Europe. She tried to recover it by writing
letters, but evidently she did not get much

HIS DUTY.
Secretary Gresham Is Dissatisfied
p. - With Minister Thompson.
He Stays Away From Rio and His
Reports Are Not at All
-. Reliable.

WASHINGTON, Jan. There is a sus-
picion in the State Department that
Thompson, American Minister to Brazil,
has not given the close attention to affairs
In thatcOuntry that the situation demands.
Secretary Gresham wired Thompson, so it
is said, for a statement as to how often he
had visited the city of Rio. intim ating very
plainly that he spent too much of his
time IN the pleasant suburb of Petropoiis.
Minister Thompson cabled that he visited
the city when occasion required and
stated that he would comply with the de-
parEment's wishes in regard to making
more frequent trips there. There are
reasons for believing that the State
Department authorities are not alto
gether satisfied with the reports
sent them from time to time by
Minister Thompson. They place more
dependence upon the cables sent bv Cap
tain Picking to the Navy Department than
they do upon the communications received
from their own representative, and there
is decided difference in the character of
the news received from the two sources.
Nearly all of Minister Thompson's dis
patches lately have indicated that the in
surgents had the upper hand, while those
sent by Captain Picking have given rather
encouraging news for PeixOto. In the
Navy Department the authorities are now
speaking confidently of Peixoto's ultimate
success. and the State Department officials
have also recently shifted round to this
way Of thinking, despite the fact that
Minister Thompson in his message takes
rather gloomy view of Pexoto's ability
TO suppress the FevOlutionists.
RIO DE sJANEIRo, Jan. lit is learned
that the chief of the tnsurgent Provisional
Government at Desterro, Captain Fred
eric William Lorena, has resigned, n0mi-
mating as his successor Baron Deoatovy,
Just casbiered by Peixoto for desertion.
He had taken his entire force over to the
Insurgents. The insurgent force in the
south is said tonumber 1900 men.
