SUDDEN DEATH.
The Canadian Premier Ex-
pired at Windsor.
Heart Failure Followed His Admis-
sion to the Privy Chamber.

WINDSOR, Eng, Dec. 12.-Sir John
Thompson, the Canadian prime minister,
expired here today after meeting OF
privy councic, at which he WAS sworn
in as member. The Canadian
premier was the first to arrive at Padding
ton railroad station, London, this morn
ing in order TO accompany the cabi-
net ministers and members of the
privy council on the special
train bound for this place where a meet
ing of the privy council was to be held at
the castle. Sir John waited on the plat
form of Paddington station for half
an hour before the special train started
and during that time he conversed in an
animated manner with Lord Breadalbane,
the lord steward OF Queens household,
and with Mr.. Arnold Morley, the post
master general, the Marquise of Ripon,
the Colonial Secretary, Indian Secretary
Mr.. Fowler and with Sir Charles Lennox,
clerk TO the Privy Council. Up to the time
the train started Sir John Thomp-
son had not showed any signs OF failing
or excitement. His appearance and man
ner did not give the slightest indication
that he was suffering from any illness.
After attending the privy council meet
ing Sir John adjourned with the ministers
and others to luncheon. Shortly after
this he became suddenly i'll and expired
almost Immediately. DIR. Ellison, one Of
the surgeons in ordinary to the house hold
at Windsor, was sent for promptly, but he
was unable to save Sir Johns life.
The Marquis of Ripon says that when
Sir John Thompson was first seized with
illness, he was given some brandy and ap-
peared TO recover, but shortly after he be-
gan TO sink. 1t is presumed that his
death was caused by heart disease.
Up to 4 O'Clock this afternoon the Qneen
had not been informed OF the tragic deaf n
of the Canadian premier. His body has
been removed to one of the principal
rooms of the Clarence Tower at Windsor
Castle, where 1t awaits the inquest Of the
Crown Coroner.
Sir John Thompson was born in 1s4S
and has been attorney general of Nova
Scotia, Premier, judge of the Supreme
Court OF Nova Scotia and minister of
justice. He has been attorney general
and privy councillor of Canada, and was
a representative on the fishery commission
at Washington in 1887.

sition to the income tax, and Mr.. Hender-
son (Rep., Iowa) who led the opposition
to the appropriation for the special ex-
aminers of pension officers.
