TWENTY Minutes Was Dead-He
8sA Been Enjoying Good Health.


Douglass, the noted freedman, orator
and diplomat, died few minutes be.
fore 2 o'clock last night at his resi-.
dence in Anacosia, q suburb Of this
city, Of heart failure. His death was
entirely unexpected, as he had been
enjoying the best of health. During
the afternoon he attended the conven-
tlon Of the women of the United States
now In session in this city, aud chatted
with Susan B. Anthony and others Of
the leading members with whom he
has been on intimate terms for many
years. When he returned home ho
said nothing Of any feeling OF illness,
enough he expressed himself as being
little exhausted from the climb up
the stairs leading from the street to
the house, which is on q high terrace.
He sat down and chatted with his
wife about the women at the conven-
ton. telling Of various things that had
been said and done. Suddenly he
gasped, clapped his hand to his heart
and fell back unconscious. A. doctor
was hastily summoned and arrived
within q few moments. but his efforts
to- revive Mr.. Douglass were hopeless
from the first. Within twenty minutes
nfter the attack the faint motion of the
heart ceased entirely, and the great
ex-slave statesman was dead. Mr..
Douglass leaves two sons and a daugh-
ter. the children Of his first wife. His
second wife, who Is q white woman,
survives him.
Frederick Douglass was born in
Tuckahooe, Talbot county, Maryland,
In February, 1917. His mother was d
negro slave and his father was white
man. At the age of ten years he was
sent to Baltimore, where lie learned to
read and write His owner later al-
lowed lin to hire his own time for
$3 pcr week, md he was employed in
q ship yard. He fed from Baltimore
In 1880 and no m began lectrrIng on
slavery. He went to England and
friends there raised $50 to purchase
bis freedom. He has held n number
Of offices under the government, and
died worth about 100000.

ing and keeping his accounts.

T time that Adry states that Harry and
he had the exciting interview In ref.
erence to the proposed killing of

would hang for 1t II he did. The wit
ness corroborated his wife in that
portion Of her testimony where she
said Adry was violent on Oct. z, and
called his mother names which re-
'nected upon her character. In telling
Of the occurrence he broke down and
sobbed, and the proceedings were de-
layed some time waiting for him to
compose himself. Half the women In
the audience cried from sympathy.
On .cross-examination the states at

at remembering dates on any other oc.
casions except the ones specif1ed-the

warrington, FeO. Il. - The silver
fight in the senate Is finished and no
vote will be had ON the Jones bill. The
one day devoted to the bill showed
conclusively that no amount Of pres
sure would bring about a vote, and II
the silver bill was kept before the SEN
ate that 1t would result in defeating
the appropriation bills and force an
extra session.
At 8 O'Clock last night the senate nd
journed after determined. but fruit
less effort on the part of the silver
men, led by Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, to
pass the hill for the unrestricted coin
age Of silver. Mfr. Jones himself made
the motion to adjourn after II had been
made evident that a voting quorum Of
senators could not be held in the SEN
ate chamber for an all-night struggle
One Of the surprises Immediately pre-
cedinG the adjournment was res0lu-
ton submitted by Mr.. Wolcott of Col
orado. one of the most active silver
leaders, declaring that while the well
fare Of the country required the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 10 to
!. yet In view Of the near adjourn
ment OF congress and the pressing de-
mand Of appropriation bills 1t was in
expedient to enter upon the considcra-
ti0n Of the silver bill at the present
session Of congress, The resolution
will no doubt be adopted.
The house spent the day In the fur
ther consideration of the naval ap-
preparation bill. The conference re-
ported the bill to extend for making
returns under the income tax law
were agreed to. and several bills OF
minor Importance &ere passed at the
opening the session.

decisive vote Of IS to 12 ON Mr.. Cor
mans motion to take up the Indian
appropriation bill, the effect Of which
was to displace the silver bill and set
It back to the calendar. Mr.. Wolcott's
resolution declaratory for silver, but
postponing action, also went to the
calendar without final action. Mr..
Manderson proposed an amendment,
urging an International bimetallic
agreement.
The opponents Of the new battle
ships for the navy suffered crushing
defeat to-day when Mr.. Sayers' mo-
tlon to strike out the authorization for
the war vessels was lost, first in the
committee Of the whole on a vote of
43 to 121, and later In the house by a
vote Of 81 to 100. After Mr.. sayers'
motion had been defeated, Mr.. Cannon
Of Illinois attempted to have an ap-
preparation Of $23 900, 900, and then Of
$5.OOO,OO0 inserted for building the
ships authorized. but both propositions
failed. Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa succeed
ed in having an amendment adopted
providing for the building of two tor
pedo boats on the Mississippi river.
