HERMANN IS NO MORE
THE GREAT MAGICIAN DIES SUD-
DENLY IN HIS PRIVATE CAR.
Came from 81 Celebrated Family and
Had AstOnished Audiences in All
Parts of the World.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Dec. 17.-Herrmann,
the magician. died to-day in his private
car at Great Valley, near Salamanca. He
was on his way to Bradford. The remains
will be forwarded TO New York. He was
due at the Great Northern Theater. Chica-
go, for an engagement next week. Herr
mann completed engagement at the
Lyceum Theater In this city last night,
and had later been entertained at the
Genesee Valley Club by a number of his
friends. Death was caused by heart dis
ease.
Professor Hermann, whose father was
sieight-of-hand performer. made his debut
as a magician when he was but eight years
old. 1t was at a performance given by
his brother in st. Petersburg, Russia. The
little fellow performed such astonishing
feats Of legerdemain that his brother regu-
lariy engaged him and young Hermann
travelled as magician all over Europe un-
til he was fourteen years old. In Portugal
the King decorated him and the King of
Spain made him a knight Of the Order of
Machella. Hermann left his brother after
travelling six years with him and then
travelled by himself all over Europe and
America. He amassed great fortune, but
lived high and spent a great deal of money
Hermann had theater in New York for
several seasons. and of late years has made
New York his home. He also had a hand
island. He owned fine steam yacht the
Fra Diavolo. In which he made many
cruises in American waters. He spoke
seven languages fiuently and had travelled
around the world three times. He was
naturalized in Boston in 1876.
Everyone who ever witnessed his per-
formance in magic will recall the favorite
remark of Hermann about 1.-The closer you
watch, the less you see. Isn't it So
ladies?" This was fully appreciated by the
favored few who were ever admitted on
the stage during a performance given by
Hermann. There was an uncanny air
about everything. and busy tone, too You
were compelled to realize that you were
wholly out of the sphere of ordinary
mortals. The place looked as If Kansas
zephyr had struck it. There were heaps of
material strewn all about the stage in ap-
parent wild confusion, with now and then
sizzling electric communication that
mephistophelean devils who help i'm magic
might suddenly appear. Electricity was a
great adjunct to HerrmannS later day per-
formances. Electricity and mirrors he re-

great success this year by Hermann. Last
spring Hermann took great fancy to
Henry z. Dixie, of Adonis fame, and Of

so that some day he might be his (Herr-

time with the magician on the Pacific coast
and then gave 1t up.

GENERAL MILES REPORT.
He Asks for Money for New Post Build.
 ings in the West.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-In his an- nual report to the secretary of war, Major General Miles, commanding the army, recommends liberal appropria- tion for replacing the present decreas- ing and antiquated post buildings, es- pecially those on what was formerly the Indian frontier. General Miles be- lieves that the freedom of the country of late from Indian outbreaks is to be ascribed to the fact that the Indians now receive better treatment from the government, that they are more i'm pressed with the power of the army to punish them, and that their affairs are in many cases managed by con- petent army officers.
 General Miles again devotes large portion of his report to the considera- tion of the questions of coast defense He points out also the importance o1 having at least two stations east oi the Rocky mountains, and one west suitable for the accommodation of one regiment of cavalry.

THEY ARE SATISFIED.
How the London Papers View the
 Venezuelan Matter.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Westmin- ster Gazette this afternoon, referring to the practical settlement of the Ven ezuelan question by submitting it to a court of arbitration, says: "The locus standu of the United States which the Marquis of Salisbury at first denied, is now undisputed, and is accepted even to the length of ruling out Ven ezuela. We would much rather settle with the United States, but we nat urally look to the United States to go bail for Venezuela in return. In this assertion of the Monroe doctrine the most satisfactory point of all is the arbitration agreement"
 The Pall Mall Gazette thinks that hereafter disputes are less likely to occur now that the principle of dealing directly with the little republics is sci aside in favor of negotiations with their powerful protector.
 The Globe welcomes the agreement because it releases the American gov. ernment from a false and dangerou: position"

greatly weakened by the lack of oxygen and the presence of too much water. Under such conditions they are very susceptible to the attacks of this fun gus, as well as number of others.
 'The only remedy we can suggest, y says Dr. Galway, is that when the diseased plants are found they be re- moved and that care be taken in cul- tivating through diseased areas. Weeds should be kept down, as they are all affected by the disease.
 Plants should not be exposed to great extremes in the amount of water present for their use, as this makes them more susceptible to attacks by the fungus. Where the fungus is in the soil it will probably require five years of rotation to kill it. Its ab- sence on the sandstone lands may be due to the fact that it has not been introduced there yet. In the latter case great care should be exercised that diseased plants are not brought into these sections"

TO SUCCEED PETER.
The Populists Are Booming John Mad
 den of Emporia for Senator.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 1.-The boom for John Madden of Emporia for United States senator has been launched, and it is predicted by Popu- lists high in the councils of the party, that MT. Madden's chances of election are of the very best. The party in this state has long recognized him as one of it's ablest and most brilliant leaders Although he has always been a wise counsellor, and hard worker for his party, he has never asked any honor in return. The nomination for congress this year was forced upon him against his will. When he hesi- consider it his duty to go in and help his party, even though personal defeat was sure to come to him. This won him over and he entered the race.
 The campaign made by MT. Madden was phenomenal one in every re- spect. He reduced Congressman Curtis majority from 6,364 two years ago to majority of less than 500, and came within an ace of being elected.
 AS viewed by many Populist leaders here the influence of MT. Madden's campaign does not stop with his dis. trict alone. The World correspondent 1 has heard the sentiment frequently expressed here that MT. Madden, more than any other one man in the state
 deserves the credit of saving Kansa. for the fusion ticket.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.-Con- gressman Newlands of Nevada, tenn porary chairman of the St. Louis silver party convention, was interviewed by a Chronicle reporter with reference to the policy which should control the silver men from the mining states dur ing the coming session. MT. Newlands
 said: sI believe that we should ac- cept the verdict of the country. The Republican party claimed protection and the Democratic party silver to be the paramount issue. The people have declared in favor of protection and have given the Republican party the
 contract for the restoration of prosper [ ity. I believe it should be allowed to , carry out any reasonable tariff policy
 without obstruction. If it brings pros perity we will all be content If it does not, we will all know that some other remedy is required, and by the process of elimination will come down | to the only rational cure, namely, the full restoration of silver as money metal''

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The Industrial World will say tomorrow: Iron has experienced the impulse of new life. Pig-iron has again advanced from 25 to 50 cents per ton according to deliv- cry, and local coke is quoted at $11.25 to $11.75. Orders during the past week have been the largest in many months. They come from many sources and activity. The plate mills at South Chicago have reopened and for all kinds of finished mill products there is much better inquiry, but the mills have been famished for orders and there is no improvement in prices.

IF HIS WIFE WILL CONSENT.
Harrison May Be the Next Sec
 retary of State.
It Is Believed Major Mckinley VIII Offer Him the PlaCe-SpeCulatio as to the Membership ot the Next Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Ex-Presi- dent Benjamin Harrison will in all probability be member of the next cabinet, politicians and public men gen. erally appearing to agree that Presi- dent-slect Mckinley has already deter mined to offer him place.
 The fact that General Harrison per sonally conducted the affairs of the state department during his admins traitor, especially after the death of MT. Blaine, demonstrated his great ability as an international lawyer and diplomat.e In the Chilean and Ha- waiian affairs Harrison held the reins in his own hands, and made personal announcement of the various steps in the rigorous and patriotic American policy that was adopted.
 The possibility of General Harrison's appointment as secretary of state has aroused much gossip over the interest ing point of whether the proprieties of modern statesmanship and politics | would allow an ex-president of the United States to become cabinet min 1 ister.
 The consensus of opinion in Wash ington seems to be that General Har- rison's dignity would not suffer in the
 least by his consent to become the premier of the Mckinley administra
 tion. Nothing is known here, how ever, as to General Harrison's personal inclinations beyond the fact that he
 has repeatedly said to his friends that
 he now desired to spend a few years at least at the practice of law for the purpose of making money and at the
 same time find leisure for reading and study.
 His recent marriage will undoubtedly
 have considerable influence upon his future plans, however, and if President
 Mckinley should offer him a place in
 the cabinet, Mrs. Harrison's wishes
 might determine whether he would ac-
 cept.
 There are very few political leaders here q present, but among those who are here the opinion seems to be gen. , eral that President Mckinley will rec , ognize the services of Senator Palmer, Secretary Carlisle, General Buckner , and others, who will all be out of of , flee after March,4 if Carlisle is not elected senator from Kentucky, in a
 manner satisfactory to them A we'll
 informed Republican politician said yesterday that in the opinion of the old soldiers, without regard to party President Mckinley could make no ) more popular appointment and no more : deserving one than that of General Daniel B. Sickles to be commissioner
 of pensions.

FOR THE COUNTRIES GOOD.
Republicans Advocate an Extra Session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The re- suits having pointed to the certainty of a congress in their favor, Republi- can political leaders are discussing the tariff question, the money question, they declare, having been effectively settled
 Many prominent party leaders ex- press the opinion that a special ses- sion of congress should be at once called to consider the matter, and as they are agitating this plan with con- siderable vigor it is not unlikely that congress will convene early in the Mckinley administration, when the tariff will be the subject of exhaustive discussion.
 There has been no consultation with MT. Mckinley" said Secretary W. F. Wakeman of the American Protective Tariff league, but we are going ahead to arouse the peoples interest in this most important of all political ques- tions. I believe we should have a conservative tariff for protection and for revenue, not radical nor extreme but sufficient to not only raise all the revenues required, but to protect and foster industries that suffer from for eign competition.
 'We urge that duties should bt changed from ad valorem to specific and think that the majority of the ar ticles in the next bill will be so classi fled. The protective tariff should b. laid in accordance with the differenc, in the cost of production here ant abroad It should not be placed wher it could be easiest collected, but wher it will be most just''

FATAL TO FRUITS.
Every Precaution Should Be Taken to
 Avoid Root Rot.

A letter from Dr. A. B. Galway, chief of the division of pathology at Washington, to Professor J. w. Tou- mey, botanist and entomologist of the University of Arizona, gives valuable information to fruitgrowers in regard to the diseases to which various fruits are subject
 Dr. Galway, speaking of the diseases of apples, pears and other plants, says there can be no doubt that the trouble | is due to fungus which occurs in many parts of the south and west, caus- ing disease commonly spoken of as root rot. The fungus attacks the plants below the surface of the ground, working in the conductive tissue, and to some extent the bark of the roots, but it grows very sparingly in the stem. As it increases in quantity the roots decay, and their power to ab- sorb and transmit water is greatly di- unfinished, finally to such an extent that the tops die. This is especially the case when during moist season the tops have made rather rapid growth and are exposed to hot, dry weather. Under these conditions they
 
 quickly perish.
 The fungus is known to attack many different kinds of trees, including pear apple, oak, mesquite, etc. It is quickly spread by cultivation, the myceliun being carried by the tools used in the work. It is also carried by irrigation and grows equally we'll in nearly al kinds of decaying organic matter , spreading through the soil as many O. the other root rot fungi do It pre- fers and probably requires very daml or wet soil for it's best development and it is not at all improbable that i 5 the soils could be kept with just enougl ) moisture in them to furnish that re : quired for vegetation, where the foo, 3 conditions for the plant are good, i l would be unable to gain an entranc f into the roots. It is probable that tn roots in poorly drained soils becom
