Further Dstalls Of the distinguished Now
eiists Destk.
AUCKLAND, N. Il, Dec. 1S.--Further i'd
vices have reached here from Apia. Samoa
giving details OF the death Of the distin-
guished novelist, Robert Louis Stevenson.
Mr.. Stevenson died on tho evening Of Dec
Q. He was talking with his wife, seem
ingly as we'll NJ usual, when he suddenly
said to her, II have strange pain in my
head" Immediately afterward he fell
back insensible.- Everything possible was
done to restore him to consciousness with
out success, and within two hours Of the
seizure he died. The cause Of death was
sudden paralysis of the brain, accompan-
led by collapse Of the lungs. Mrs. Steven
son and all her relatives were present at
tbs closing scene.
The funeral took pluce on the 4th. The
grave was dug on the summit Of Pala
hill, which stands on Mr.. Stevcnson's es-
tate. The coffin was carried up the noun
tain with great difficulty by the faithful
Samoan servants who so dearly loved
their white employer. To allow Of the
passage Of the coffin and It's bearers II was
neeessary to cuta track through the dense
: Forest which covers tho whole slope Of the
hin. An obelisk will be erected over the
graye,and this will form prominent land
mark from the sea.
1t is stated that Mr. Stevenson had suf-
fered from brain exhaustion. He was
haunted by a fear that his popularity as a
writer was waning. He left three unfin.
ished works.

The citizens OF Savannah. Ga. hava had
real scramble to pay their taxes in order
that they may be qualified TO register and
vote at the election In January. 1t does
not appear. however. that the tax collee.
tor interposed any obstacle as our auto
cratic Dickey does. to prevent any one
paying bis tax, as he received the tax
readily from every ono who tendered 1t.
and gave as many az elk receipts tor DIFF
ferent men to the came messenger or APP
pllcant. and the number was limited to
six only on the ground that other parties
might have an opportunity to be accom-.
modated. MIR. Dickey might learn the
Collector In Savannah lesson. In regard
to party management, but the people
there perhaps would not have put up with
such abominable partlatty, and the result
might have boon brok sn neck or some
thing of that sort. How the collector
could have managed to give only goo re.
eelpts per day Is mystery. We suppose.
however. that Mr.. Dlckey rarely gave out
that number, us one receipt In every live
minutes with him was considered quite
expeditions work. We can see that they
want reform In the tax office in Savannah,
but in our city. according to the Demo.
cratic rsformers. the system Is perfect.

NEW York, Dec. 1s.-JudRe Truax, in

TUESDAY. DEcEnBER is, 1894.


The announcement TINT ex.Presi,ient
Harrison 10 not cadldate for the Presl.
dency, which was reported from Buffalo
day or two ago In an interview with
politician who saw lit TO place that con.
structlon on conversation with the ex-
PRESIDENT has been promptly met with
q denial from Indianapolis. 1t appears
that Mr.. Harrison did not authorize the
announcement and that he does not
wish 1t to be 80 understood as to bar him
out OF all pcssibie consideration as u
candidate. This will not be surprising to
those who have followed the drift OF the
numerous remarks which he has made
from time to time to those Of his friends
who are known to enjoy his confidence.
There 10 no longer any room for reason.
able doubt that Harrison will go before
the convention 10 1896 II anything like
formidable movement shall be organ
lied In his behalf, and the Indiana Re.
publieans have already cleared the way
In that direction, SO far as his own State
IL concerned.
No consideration of Presidential can
didates will be complete which leaves
out his name
While It Is clear that Harrison has no
hold on the party at large that car bs
compared with either Reeds or McKinley's
and that the popular demand for a new
personality Will largely overshadow his
merits, he enjoys to-day larger share Of
the eolid respect OF the country than he
has had at any time since the close of his
administration. The events OF the past
year and half have been complete yln-
dicatlon OF his Presidential career; but
his one weakness as candidate for noml-
nation will be not SO much the antagon.
ism Of the powerful party lenders to
whom he gave the cold shoulder while
In the White House as In the popular de-
mand for a new candidate.
His candidacy will command positive 10
spsct, but will not excite enthusiasm out
side OF bis loyal Hoosier following. No
great party with the hope OF success be-
fore IL has ever turned to an ex-President
as Its candidate, with the single exception
OF Cleveland lii 1892. and Harrison unlike
Cleveland on that OCCASION is not the one
and only candidate whom his party can
take up with the prospect OF winning
That Indiana will make him conspicuous
in the coming canvass for the nomlnatio n
Is certain. but there are no signs In the
situation which indicate the great popu-
lar Harrison revival which his friends are
counting upon in their plans for '95
