large sum for the purpose Of erecting
fitting monument symbolizing the
travels OF the discoverer to be
placed in most conspicuous place in
Havana, and the construction of a
mausoleum to hold the ashes. This
mausoleum, the work of the Spanish
sculptor, Melida, was brought to
Havana and placed upon base erect
ed in the center aisle of the cathedral,
close to the main door. The monu-
ment has not come and probably
never will come 10 Havana. It was
to have been paid for by an appropri-
alton included in the budget of the

turned the plans made on the occasion

LIES TRAGEDY.
Young Henry Freeman Takes His
Own Life.

Madison, Sept. 27.
A very painful shock to the COM
munity was that given Monday horn
ing by the announcement that Henry
B. Freeman, youngest son Oh Prof. ].
G. Freeman, of the chair of English
literature in the university, had taken
his life. The young man, not yet 10
and so far as known without a Sc
rious care, was as light-hearted as
usual Sunday, sought the companion
ship of his intimates and to none gave
any intimatiOn of the terrible tragedy
so soon to occur. 1t is true, having
finished his high school course and
about to enter the university this
very week, he had now and then eX-
pressed some misgivings as to his fu-
ture there,-but indeed few young
people approach that institution with
out some feeling of awe. He had
gone through the high school in a
manner most creditable to himself and
his friends looked for him to have a
brilliant career during his later life as
student. Now that he is gone, his
father and sisters recals with sweet
sorrow that when he Dade them good
night soon after IL Sunday evening,
there was an unusual warmth and ten
derness in his manner. From that
| touching adieu he went straight to his
! room and, without undressing, laid
! himself upon the bed, face down upon
a sponge saturated with chloroform
in a shallow basin. There his father
| found him, life long ex-
! tinct and the body cold,
between 1880 and 8 o'clock Mon
| day morning. The boy had always
been highly sensitive and was, his
/ young companions say, subject to pc
RODS of depression. There was, how
ever, no trouble over which he brood
| ed, so far as they knew, and his sad
act dumbfounds them all. He was
very popular,-a fine, companionable
fellow Of the best morals, always up
right, always loyal to his friends, of
whom he had very many in the happy
circle just past the high school age.
Besides the father, two sisters and a
| brother, all older than himself, are
| left at home with a sorrow whose
| depth only they can realize.

New York, Sept. 24.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, who came to the city from
his home in Oyster Bay late Friday,
had a conference with Senator Platt.
Chairman O'DelI OF the republican
state committee and a number of par
ty leaders. At its conclusion Chair
man O'Dell said Roosevelt would give
out a letter today, in which he would
specifically decline the nomination.
How Teddy Was Trapped.
Albany, N. Y, Sept. 24.-The sup
porters of Governor Black last night
exposed their hand, which has been
responsible for their great confidence
in their ability to defeat Col, Roose-
welt for the gubernatorial nomination,
and which makes the nomination of
the colonel an impossibility. Roose-
welt, they say, is ineligible" to run
as candidate for governor in this
state at this time, and before "a hours
have elapsed, that information, with
specific occasions, for his withdrawal
from the contest, will have become
public property, and will have ema-
mated from New York city. When
Roosevelt was sworn in "a assistant
| secretary of the navy, he swore to
his residence as Washington, d. C.
The federal constitution, however,
| provides that persons holding Office in
the federal government retain
their residence in the state from
which they are appointed, but when
| Roosevelt resigned from the navy de-
partment he retired to private life
! Thereafter he enlisted in the army
and when accepting his commission
swore to his residence as Washington.
While this is the primary ground of
the contention, it is claimed that fur
Their evidence of his ineligibility is
afforded in the fact that when he was
assessed for personal property in the
town of Oyster Bay he later appeared
! before the tax commissioners and
| swore off the assessment upon the
ground that he was not a resident of
| Oyster Bay, but a resident of Wash
ington. ,
