MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
GIFTED AUTHOR OF "UNCLE
TOMS CABIN" DEAD.
Passes Peacefully Away as Though
in a Deep Sleep, Surrounded
by Her Children.

HARTFORD, July Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, the gifted author OF
Uncle Toms Cabin and other works
OF worldwide reputation, died at her
home, No. 10 Forest street, at noon to-
day without regaining consciousness.
She passed peacefully away, as though
in a deep sleep. By her bedside at the
time were her son, her two daughters,
her married sister and her husband
ard DR.. Edward Hooker, her> nephew
who was also her medical attendant,
and other relatives.
Mrs. Stoves malady, which was or
man years continuation; a mental
trouble. took an acute form on Friday
when congestion of the brain with par
t.al paralysis ensued. During Friday,
Saturday and Sunday Mrs. Stowe was
about the house, but suffering very
r1uch. Since Monday morning she has
been confined to her bed, and yesterday
a afternoon became unconscious. Mrs.
Stowe until seven years ago was in
o, cd health, although she was frall
bodily.
Funeral services for Mrs. Stowe will
he held ait her late home at 5 o'clock
tomorrow. The body will be taken to
Andoyer. Mass, for interment on Fri
day morning.
Harriet Reecher Stowe first came into
rational prominence in 1851, when she
began to publish serial story in the
National Era" an antislavery paper
of Washington. The story was entitled
.JTncle Toms Cabin 1t was widely
read, and perhaps had greater infiu-
ence on American history than any
4 = T. CT
cred one of Americas standard novels.
It appears in numberless forms, and has
repeatedly been presented in it's dra-
matized form in every part of the
country.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was the sister of
Henry Ward Beecher and the wife of
Rev. Professor c. E. Stowe. She was
horn at Litchfield, Conn, in 1872, and
married Professor Stowe when she was
90 years of age. Her husband was
professor in Bowdoin and Andover Col
leges.
Her pen has been busy from her early
youth until age produced numbing
effect on her brain. Prior to the ap-
pearanee of "Uncle Toms Cabin she
had written many stories for the maga-
zines and had published several vol
umes of her own.
Soon after her great story was pub
|lished she appeared again with key to
Uncle Toms Cabin" In 1853 she Wis
lited Europe. Her fame had preceded
her and she was everywhere treated
with the most distinguished considera-
ton. To permanently record her ex-
periences on this trip she published on
her return TO America Sunny Memo
ries of Foreign Lands" and soon after
appeared 'Dred, Story of the Dismal
Swamp" This in it's turn was fol-
lowed in 1859 by ''The Minister'S Woo
ing a story of New England life in
the eighteenth century.
Since that time Mrs. Stowe has con-
tributed many articles to the maga-
zines, and in 1S6S-70 was joint editor of
Hearth and Home" Her most nota-
BILE work in this line was an article en-

VANCOUVER (B. CO, July 1.-The
following Oriental advices were received
here per steamship Empress of China,
which arrived this morning:
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha, the lar
gest steamship company of Japan, re-
Gently decided to increase its capital
from 10000 to 100000 yen. 1t is
proposed to extend existing lines and
to open new ones. Among the latter the
first will probably be across the Pacific
to Puget Sound. Mr. Iwanaga was dele
gated by the company to close pending
contract with the Great Northern Rail-
way, Seattle to be the American term
mus of the Transpacific line. Mr.. IVAN
aga came over on the China, and after
transasting his business at Seattle will
visit New York and the cotton districts
of the South.
The Hongkong Telegraph has pub
lished the startling telegram that Rus
sia has intimated to Japan that she
must withdraw from Formosa. Whether
this be true or not it is a remarkable
fact that Russia has massed at Vladi-
vostock a strong fleet and 10000 men
and vast stores of war material. Eng
land is recalling her inferior war yes
with stronger ones, but nevertheless is
now spoken of as the third naval power
in the far east, Russia being the first
and the second being left unnamed.
Russia's course Is alluded to sarcastic
slly in the Japanese press as a splendid
policy of aggression
The Eastern World" says that Rus
sia has practically turned Japan out of
Corea, and publishes a long article
under the heading TT is political hypno-
tism," declaring that anything short of
hypnotism of the most powerful order
absolutely fails to explain why all the
world stands with folded hands and in
helpless apathy watches the develop
nlent of the gigantic plans of Russia for
the domination of the east. The guard
of sailors at the Russian Legation in
Corea has just been relieved by de-
tachment of eighty Russian infantry.
Twenty cavalry and artillery officers
entered the town with the infantry 1t
is reported that Russia has built fort
on Getsu-Fito Island, and that a gun is
mounted upon the Russian Legation
pointed toward the Japanese Consulate.
This makes the ignorant C0reans afraid
of Russia and contemptuous of Japan.

respects to ice-President Stevenson
at the Palmer House, and saw several
members of the National Committee
after the conference with the bimetal-
lists.
THE silverites are trying to disrupt
the party by attracting every dissent
ing element to our ranks and tearing
the time-honored principles of Democ-
racy into splinters," he said. II cannot
fOresee the consequences. The two
thirds rule should never be abrogated
and the National Committee should
sharply rebuke the Bimetallic Commit
tee for presuming to dictate the tempor-
airy organiza ton"
The local committee waited on Chair
man Harrity to-day and delivered to
him for the use of the National Commit
tee a check for $4,000 toward the guar
anteed $4,000 convention expense
fund. An unpaid balance of ST coo re-
mains, and it was promised the COM
mittee by Saturday night.

FIRST SHIRMISH OF THE
Big FIGHT AT CHICAGO.
Continued from First Page.)

Blackburn strength was asked for the
Colorado Senator. 1t was a fact. con-
firmed by the admission of Senator
Blackburn, that the South feels very
kindly toward Senator Teller because Of
his fight in the Senate against the
Lodge force bill but among the South
ern old-line Democrats, irrespective of
money views, it would be a difficult task
to create a sentiment favorable to vot-
ing for man who only few days ago
was Republican partisan.
AS the spokesman for the Kentucky
Senator said to a United Press reporter
this evening: Senator Blackburn will
be put forward by the Kentucky dele
cation for President by the unanimous
action of the delegation sent here, of
which he is the head. They are in
structed for him, and he will remain in
the fight to the end, carrying it on in
the same manner which has characte-
iZed former successful contests in which
the Senator has engaged. He has been
promised the support of several State
delegations and the individual support
of some delegates from several other
States. We do not care to mention
names or give figures yet. Mr. Black
burn has been an ardent and consistent
advocate of the free coinage of silver
for twenty-five years. His recent vic
tory in the State Convention on the
silver issue against the combined
forces of the Administration show that
he is the most popular man in Kentucky
public life, and proper man to beat the
gold ring in November"
The Bland headquarters in the diff
ferent hotels were the scenes of activ

for the Bland shouters will be opened

charge of Secretary George W. Allen of
the Bland Executive Committee. Judge
Shackelford will have charge of the
Sherman House headquarters when the
decorations are in shape. Delegates
White of Washington, Overmeyer of
Kansas and Jones of Arizona were
among the visitors at Bland headouar-
ters to-day to speak of their support and
that of other delegates for the Mis-
sourian.
State Senator Bailey of Indianapolis
arrived at the Auditorium Annex as the
advance agent of the Matthews delega-
ton from that State. He said the dele
cation was unanimous for the Governor
and free silver, in spite of the contest
which Bynum is expected to make in be-
half of the gold faction. Several hum
