A BattIe-scarred Hero Who Fought
at Santiago.
STRICKEN BY APOPLExY
PRIVATE MOVES OF THE SIX
TENTH DIES AT WIKoFF.
Indiana Chaplain Hauled Up For
Speaking About Conditions at
Chickamauga--Texas Volunteers
Object to a Colored Paymaster-
Sick at Camp Wikoff.

Columbus, o., Sept t6.-Brigadier
General Joseph T. Haskell died sud
denly at his home at the Columbus Post
about lao this evening. He was strick-
en- with apoplexy, the excitement
through which he had passed during
the day being the immediate cause of
the attack.
General Haskell commanded the Sew
enteenth infantry at the battle Of Ell
Caney and was twice wounded in the
left shoulder and knee. He came home
about a month ago and was rapidly re-
covering. The wound in his shoulder,
however. had paralyzed his left arm,
which he carried in sling. This morn
ing the Seventeenth regiment returned
home and General Haskell went TO the
depot in a carriage to welcome his gal
liant men. He rode at the head of the
regiment through the city and the
cheers of the people were directed al
most as much to him individually as to
the regiment. AT the reviewing stand
the crowd surrounded the carriage and
flowers were fairly showered into the
vehicle from every side. Although not
as strong as formerly, General Has
keH appeared rugged and his sudden
death was a terrible shock to his FAM
lily and friends.
At 4:30 this afternoon Captain Clay
called at General HaskelPs residence
to pay his respects. The general was
resting at the time, but came down
stairs. They had been engaged in con-
Yersation about five minutes, when
General Haskell suddenly started to his
feet, clasping his hands to his head,
then fell to the floor. The only excla-
nation he made was ooh, OH
Captain Clay sprang to his assist
ance and was surprised to find that his
pulse had ceased to beat. Post Sur
geon Pitcher was summoned and stated
that the death was caused by apoplexy.
Mrs. Haskell was Frustrated by her
husbands death. Besides the widow,
two sons survive

jured at st. Vincent-Entire Pop
ulation Starving.

suffered mostly from rain, which de-
Stroyed the crops and roads, as it did at
st. Lucia and other islands, while the
center of the storm swept over St. Vino
ent and Guadaloupe.
Details received from St. Vincent show
that an unparalleled destruction of life
and property has taken place there. Out
of a population of 41.000 800 were killed
and 1905 were injured and rendered
homeless. Besides this, owing to the COM
plete destruction of provisions. they are
all starving.
The island has been absolutely Quilted by
the wind and floods from the mountains,
in addition TO the waves along the coast
There has been great loss to shipping
along the track of the cyclone.
Relief funds are being raised in re-
Spouse to an appeal of Ihe governor of
St. Vincent, where all descriptions of food
and clothing and other necesSaries were
lost in the general destruction.
The demand for building material is I'M
limited.
No details of the work of the hurricane
have been received from Guadalupe.

Tha privilege granted TO Senators and
Representattvesat Washington Of send.
ing letters and other matter free may
be curtailed or abolished altogether. 1t
is difficult to properly restrict 1t SO long
as there are so many dishonest persons
in the world who will abuse all privi-
leges. The system Of franking letters
originated in 1860 in England, and the
privilege was granted to members Of
Parliament. It was so much abused
that In 1903 o Commission Of Inquiry
was opened. This reported that in the
mail sent free by post were "afteen
couples Of hounds; two maid servants
going as laundresses; Doctor Crichton
carrying with him O COW, two bales Of
stockings and q deal case with four
flitches Of bacon" Notwithstanding
the exposure of fraud the privilege con-
tinued to be abused. In the beginning
Of this century the needy members Of
Parliament were accustomed to sell
their signatures. The practice was
greatly restricted In 1887, and finally,
In 1910. It was entirely abolished. A
report from q committee OF; inquiry ap-
pointed by our representatives might
furnish % with ludicrous EXAMPLES Of
the abuse Of the franking privilege and
also feed for thought which might In
lAe near future create o public sentt-
ment against II, leading to Its abolish
ment.
