DEAD.
FREDERICK DOUGLASS

Frederick Douglass, the well-known
colored orator, died suddenly of heart
disease at his residence in Anacostia, op-
posite Washington, at Z o'clock last
night.
Mr.. Douglass had just completed his
18th year. After his many vicissitudes
he died in seemingly excellent health,
not many miles distant from the county
on the eastern shore of Maryland, where
he was born slave in February, 1917.
His death was entirely unexpected, as
he had been enjoying good health.
During the afternoon he attended the
convention of the women of the United
States, and chatted with Susan B. An
thony and others of the leading MEM
bers, with whom he had been on inti-
mate terms for many years. When he
returned home he said that he had
nothing indicating any feeling of illness,
although he appeared to be little ex-
hausted from the climb up the steep
fight of steps leading from the street to
the house, which is on high terrace.
He sat down and chatted with his wife
about the women at the convention,
telling various things that had been said
and done. Suddenly he gasped, clapped
his hand to his heart and fell back un-
conscious. A doctor was hastily sum-
moned and arrived within a very few
moments, but the efforts to revive Fred
Douglass were fruitless from the first.
Within 20 minutes after the attack, the
faint motion of his heart ceased entirely
and the great ex-slave and statesman
was dead.
Douglass leaves two sons and a
daughter, children of his first wife. His
second wife, who was a white woman,
survives him.

A statement in THE CHRONICLE Tues

governor of Oregon, brings from reader
the further statement just for the in
formation of those who don't know,
which is all who have not looked it up,
that Abernethy was the first governor
under the provisional government. He
was succeeded by Lane, who arrived at
Portland, March 2, 1849. In company
with Lieut.. Winchell he hired canoe
and went to Oregon City, the seat of
government at that time, and on March
Sd issued his proclamation as governor.
He was succeeded in the governors

tion. Gaines was followed by Davis, but
the local democracy who were just as
lusty kickers then as now, objected to an
Eastern man being appointed and made
it so uncomfortable for Davis that he
resigned, and Curry, who was territorial
secretary. became acting governor.
John Whitaker was elected at the

asrILL THE WONDER GREW"

Sydney Dell asserts that the gold
bugs are buying all the newspapers ad-
vertising the free coinage of silver, for
the sole and express purpose of prevent
ing his, the said Sydney Dell's, disserta-
tions on finance in general, and silver in
particular, from getting into print. Be-
ing refused space in the larger papers,
Sydney advises the country press to
pass the "sieve'' around, and reprint
his letter to the president, from which
the following is clipping:
''Sir, suppose Japan in her thirst for
conquest and lust for gold should levy. a
billion dollars upon this Pacific slope, it
would shake this nation from ocean to
ocean. Five million armed Yankee
property holders and laborers would
spring forth and efface that nation from
the maps of the earth. You, however,
aid the Rothschilds, at the head of a
syndicate owning 100, ,0o0, ,0O0, 900 in gold
bonds, to annihilate fifty per cent of all
the values in the union in twelve
months, 80, ,0OO, ,OOo,o0O of which is con-
fscation pure and simple! Yet not a
stir is made; not a bugle call! Why?
Because of ignorance The people
slumber in fancied security upon the
gold coinage standard because they
know not their trusted sentries-the
tleading press are manacled by you
and the Rothschilds. The country
press and small dailies are the only
%'free press' left to the people. Poor

ducing the per capita of gold. The

1t will be seen that Sydney thinks q

coast by the Japanese, and Zone leading

alas! poor Sydney; from his observa.

eye across the Pacific, and he sees China
reduced to gold standard by the Roth
cnilds, and starvation following it
while his port orb sees in his neighbor's
back yard eight Astoria carpenters strug-
Cling for job of saving wood.
The great trouble with Sydney is
that ever since he discovered in the
democratic convention of 1886 that Pen.
noyer was a man, his hat has pinchec
him, and his megacephalous condition
prevents his understanding that his ar.
ticles are refused space in the news

A Proceeding That May Prevent the Sale
of Santa Fe Properties.

Kansas City, Dec. 3.-A special to the
Journal from Topeka says:
A sensation was caused in the United
States circuit court today by the filing
by the bondholders of the st. Louis and
San Francisco railroad of an intervening
petition in the big foreclosure suit under
which the Santa Fe properties are to be-
sold on December 10. The petitioners
recite that the Santa Fe acquired CON
trolling interest in the Frisco road
through fraud, and ask for an order of
court setting aside the contract under
which such control was secured and also
for an order declaring void all bonds
issued against the Frisco road under this
contract. They also petition that the
consolidated mortgage bonds of the 'Fris-
co road, now held by the Santa Fe re-
ceivers as security for what they allegc
to be fictitious Indebtedness against the
Frisco road and against the Santa Fe,
be delivered up for cancellation. Such
alleged Indebtedness Is claimed to be
the result of fraud on the part of the
Santa Fe. For claims which they make
for reimbursement for the Frisco road
they ask to have made prior leins ON
the Santa Fe properties.
The effect of this petition would seem
to be to tie up the coming sale of the
Santa Fe properties, but officials Of the
latter road profess to believe that nothing
will come of the petition. They claim
it is but n repetition of claims previously
made by certain Frisco bondholders and
profess to believe that Judge Foster viii
refuse to give the petition status in the
