BARON DE HI2SCH.
HIS DEATH MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS
COMPLICATIONS
Received Many Letters from English
People, the Writers of Whom Will
Shrink from Seeing Them Pub
Iisbed.

LONDON, April a2.-The newspapers
here this morning are full of accounts
of the life and death of Baron de
Hirsch, the distinguished Hebrew phil
anthropist, telling Of the loss which his
death will be to charities, the turf and
especially to royalty, to members of
which it has long been common gossip
he lent vast sums of money, matters
which are much discussed in the club,
etc.
The Chronicle published a memoir
written by some one who was evidently
Intimate with Baron de Hirsch, and
who is believed to be his secretary
This writer says the death of the baron
may make complications in at least one
European court, if the executors are
obdurate in collecting money.
1t appears that the baron received
some 400 begging letters daily, many
of them from English people, who will
shrink to see them published
The tragedy of Baron de Hirseh's
life was the death of his son. Almost
ascetic himself, he regarded with con-
tempt the habits of the comfortable
classes and was bitterly satfrical in re-
gard to the indulgences of the idle rich.
Baron de Hirsch, it is asserted, never
entered a synagog after his marriage,
but he was radically proud of being a
Hebrew.
The Daily News publishes a dispatch
from Paris saying the death of Baron
de Hirsch is a severe loss to the Or
leans princes, especially to Prince
Henry. He paid a gambling debt of
f2S,0 900 for one Orleans prince. Baron
de Hirsch's friends, when gambling at
his house, were not always expected to
ray their losses, though he Immediately
settled his
An autopsy has been held upon the
body of Baron de Hirsch, which
proved that his death was due to apo
plexys

Wild Stories About the Injuries Re-
ceived by the President.
WASHINGTON, April 22-An acct
dent to the team which President
Cleveland was driving to Woodley this
evening caused alarming statements as
to the safety Of the president to spread
quickly over the city. Mr.. Cleveland
left the white house at $50 o'clock and
just after crossing a car track on the
city's boundary, the horse slipped and
fell. The other horse becoming fright
ened, plunged about and fell over the
pole of the carriage and on top of his
mate. A large crowd gathered and the
frightened horses were quoted The
president had remained cool and step
ped from the victoria. By cutting
some of the harness, the horses were
liberated. A lamp had been kicked off
the carriage, but other than this, the
vehicle suffered no damage. The pres
ident continued to Woodley in the car
riage of Mr.. Gardiner Hubbard.

Whole Policy of the Late J.fbe,..,
Premier Long Record of I'm
broken Failure.

LONDON, April 22-Right Hon,
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
FOR the colonies, made a speech at the
Constitutional club tonight, Containing
many interesting references to the Do
ltlcal situation. He said the whole pol
icy OF Lord Rosebery, the late Liberal
premier, was long record of unbroken
failure
"Yet, he never loses a chance" Mr..
Chamberlain said, "of sneering at
his successors efforts to preserve the
peace and maintain the honor and in
terests of the empire
With reference to the colonies, Mr..
Chamberlain declared there were two
governing factors in the situation in
South Africa. The first was that Eng
land must continue to be the paramount
power and would at all risks and
costs resist foreign interference. The
second was that, owing to the pecul-
lar situation that the Dutch were like
~ for many years to be in the major
ity it was the duty of statesmen to
do their utmost to maintain the friend
ship between the English and Dutch
in Cape Colony The Dutch in Cape
Colony, he said, were as loyal as the
French Canadians, but they sympa-
thized with their kindred in two
neighboring republics.
With reference to the anomalous sit
uation of the Transvaal refusing the
common rights of citizenship to ma
jority of it's population Mr.. Chamber
lain said that formerly the sympathies
of the Dutch in South Africa, even the
progressive Dutchmen of the Trans
wall were with the Uitlanders. Lately
a revulSion of feeling had occurred
but he was confident that he would
ere Ions, restore the situation as it was
before the invasion of the Transvaal
He intended, he said, to exhaust the
resources of persuasion, argument and
negotiation to attain that object. The
Matabele rising, he pointed out was
quite a separate affair. The govern.
ment was alive to its gravity, but they
believed the local forces would be able
to suppress it, and therefore did not
intend, unless in an unexpected emer-
gency, to send a large detachment of
the British army to South Africa
British troops were unsuited for such
warfare.
In conclusion Mr.. Chamberlain ap-
pealed TO the country to show calmness
and reserve in the presence of difficulty
and danger.
LONDON, April 22.-An editorial in
the Times applauds Mr.. Chamberlain's
bold speech, but considers that apart
from any Intervention in Matabele-
land, the British forces at the Cape
ought to be considerably reinforced to
provide against contingencies. The
Standard also thinks that Mr.. Cham
berlafn is optimistic in the view he
takes of the South African situatio

r.. G. w. IMPROVEMENTS.
The Road Is Doing Some Extensive
Work.


Work.
The operating department Of the Rio
Grande Western is this season making
some extensive and valuable improve
ments along the line of the road, work
on which has already been COM
menced. The eight or nine wooden
bridges on the Grassy trail section of
the eastern division are being replaced
by stone and steel structures and new
depots are in course of erection at
Price, Thompson Springs and Cisco.
At Riverton a new depot will also be
commenced in few weeks.
Another improvement now under way
and one which will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sheep men. is a series of
shearing corrals which are being built
enc each at the towns of Goshen,
Price, Thompson's Springs, Joseph City,
Salina and Manti. To these cora IS.
the sheep men can drive their flocks
and do their shearing, packing and
shipping with much greater convent
ence than heretofore.

WILL STAND BY THE U. p.
The Position of the Rio Grande
Western.

Assistant General Passenger Agent
Wadleigh of the Western. who re-
turned Tuesday night from Denver,
stated yesterday relative to the action
of the Missouri committee of
the Western Passenger association on
the party rate matter, that while the
Western had no direct interest in the
party rate and had accordingly taken
no active part at the meeting, it had
nevertheless voted with the Union Pa
cific to retain the rate among the pas
senger schedules, and would do SO at
boday's adjourned meeting of the COM
mfttee at Chicago. Mr.. Wadleigh ex-
pressed the belief that the matter
would be amicably arranged and that
the rate would stand. He also ex-
pressed the opinion that whatever
would be the action of the other
roads, the Union Pacific would not re-
cede from its position. He has no
fears of a rate-cutting war, no matter
what the result of today's meeting.

THE GREAT CAUSE


of the convention. Also a letter from
Andrew Carnegie, who referred to the
movement as the MODEST cause of this
generation, and who, in a postscript,
mentioned the enclosure of a check for
$1,000 to help defray the expenses OF the
meeting.
In the course of the general business,
Mr.. John Doniphan of st. Joseph, Mo-
created no little stir by moving that Mr..
Carnegle's gift be returned TO him, be-
cause Mr.. Carnegie had made his wealth
through contracts to furnish the govern
ment with munitions of war.
And" he continued the press
charges him, whether justly or unjuslly,
with making large profits by stinting
the employees in his work" He declared
that the boards of trade of the country
should pay the expense of the meeting,
and that 1t will be a humiliation to ac-
cept Mr.. Carnegie's gift. The motion was
opposed by Delegate Weeks of Pitts
burg, editor of the Iron Manufacturer,
and was buried under a large majority.
THE NIGHT SESSION
of the conference attracted large audi
ence
The speakers were Hon. Carl Schurts,
of New York, President Angel of Michi-
gan university and Edward Atkinson of
Boston.
President Angel took issue with most
of the speakers in a ringing declaration
that the United States should stand ready
to fight for honor and her territory. Each
of the speakers at the night session
touched upon current questions.
President Angel said the practical d1ffl-
culties in establishing general court OF
arbitration for several nations are very
serious even if all the principal powers
are ready for it. But we nave no evidence
that they are ready. 1t is, however, not
eXtravagant to hope that such course
may be set up by Great Britain and our
selves. Possibly we are more
IN DANGER OF DRIFTING
into war on slight occasions than we were
forty years ago. We have brought out
OF our civil war a new consciousness of
military strength which has its tempta-
tons and it's dangers. One of the great
advantages of a compulsory resort of ar
bitration is that time must be gained for
reflection.
In conclusion he said: Our army is now
hardly large enough for the police power
which it is liable tobe called upon to eXer-
else. But let US make no claims on other
nations which are not just, claims. Let US
show our confidence in the justice of them
by our willingness to submit to properly
constituted tribunal all questions between
us and other powers which do not involve
our honor or our independence"
Mr.. Schurz held arbitration to be prac-
teal because eighty disputes had been
settled by that method in this country,
and had stayed settled, while the results
of great wars had not stayed settled, but
had been subject to the shifting of power.
Mr.. Atkinson's speech was largely
plea for the abolition of privateering.
Cities should be declared free from bonn
bardment and spohation, making such re-
SeIvation for the defenses of harborS as
would forbid the ships of any petty state
from entering by force.
Why" he asked, should it be the duty
of officers of the navy to do what would
disgrace officers of the army?"

Dearborn & Co.'s Novel Exhibit

There was one exhibition at the
Interstate fair, says the Burlington
Clipper, which was truly a novelty
in its way, nothing of the kind ever
having been seen at a State fair be-
fore. This was 100 photographs of
100 farms in New England, which
Messrs. Dearborn & Co., of White
River Junction, VT, and of So State
street, Boston, displayed in Floral
Hall. Mr.. Dearborn was in charge
Of this exhibit himself and courte-
ously explained to everyone who in
quired, the location, extent and state
of cultivation of these farms. AS a

what it cost to erect the buildings
now standing on them and Dearborn
& Co., are doing a good work for
the state in finding men to occupy
them.
