LONDON, Sept. 19.-From Cairo and
from an entirely Independent source the
Daily News learns that France has assumed
a conciliatory attitude toward Great Britain
and has declared that the expedition of
Major Marchand is quite unofficial. The
sirdar will offer to take Major Marchand to
Cairo, and it is probable that the major will
accept and that Fashoda will be occupied
by Egyptian troops.

Cantpin Allyn Cnpron.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Captain Allyn
Capron, First artillery died at his home
near Fort Myer, Va, today.
Captain Capron was one of the best known
officers in the regular army. He had devoted
his abilities to the artillery branch of the
army and was regarded as an authority or
artillery tactics. When General Skaters
corps went to Santiago Captain Capron ac-
companled it and his battery did notably
fine work in the battle OF Santiago. During
the first days fight before the city Captain
Caprons son, Captain Allyn X. Capron, OF
the Rough Riders was killed. The death OF
his son preyed upon the fathers mind
though he never swerved from his duty dur
ing the terrible days that followed. The
seeds of disease were sown in his system
during the Cuban campaign and he returned
to his home at Fort Myer, near this city,
only to be stricken down with typhoid fever.
His death occurred about IL o'clock today.
Captain Capron was born in Florida and
entered the military academy as a cadet in
1863 After graduating he was made sec
ond lieutenant OF the First artillery on the
18th of June, 1877, and was an officer OF
that regiment until his death. He was COM
missioned as captain on the 4th of December.
1883. 1t is probable Captain Capron will be

have yet been made.

DEATH OF MISS WINNIE DAVIS
"Dnughter of the Confederacy" Goes
Into the Presence of Her
Maker.

NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l., Sept. IS.
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of the late
Jefferson Davis, died at noon today at the
Rockingham hotel, to which place she came
as a guest in the early part of the piers
social season. She had been i'll for a week
and early last week her ailment was dag
nosed as malarial gastritis Consultations
of physicians were deemed necessary but
frequent rallies gave renewed hope that she
would ultimately recover During the last
week, especially, was her condition consid-
cred favorable and it was thought her re-
moval from the hotel would be possible in
few days as the hotel had closed for the
season, leaving the patient and attendants
practically alone in the house. Last night,
however a relapse in Miss Davis cond-
tion was noticed and throughout the night
she lost strength perceptibly. This morn
ing the physicians said death was not far
off and at noon death came to end the suf-
fering.
Mrs Davis had watched unremittingly at
her daughters bedside and she is now
bowed with sorrow. The physicians of Mrs
Davis report she is holding up with great
camness in her afflicton and no fears are
at present entertained of her health yield
ing to the strain.
Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter of the
Confederacy," was born in the Confederate
executive mansion at Richmond, Va, in
1858. She was educated principally at
home, owing to the trouble surrounding her
father and the publicity which attended all
| movements of the Davis family.
Miss Davis attained her maturity at Beau
voir, Miss. Here she assisted her mother in
various ways and took her place in the many
social functions Of the place. She was her
fathers constant companion. She assisted
him in all OF his work and much of the in
formation required by Mr.. Davis in his writ
ings was secured for him by his daughter
Her strong character was marked from
youth She was engaged TO Mr.. Wilkerson
OF Syracuse, n. Y, but shortly after her
fathers death the engagement was broken
off. No public explanation was given, but
it Is known that it was for the purpose OF
maintaining her fathers name.
She received the name, Daughter OF the
Confederacy," In 1886, when her father made
his famous trip through the south. Mr.
Davis being unable to appear, Miss Winnie
was brought before the thousands at the
different points along the route and intro
duced as the daughter Of the Confederacy.

HAVANA, Sept. 1S.-Rumors that have

ORDERS ISSUED
BY CHIEF OF POLICE DOLAN TO
THE OFFICERS THIS MORNING.

BY CHIEF OF POLICE DOLAN TO
THE OFFICERS THIS MORNING.
Chief Dolan this morning issued two
orders to his officers which will be Of
interest to the public. The irst relates
to children who are found upon the
streets during school hours. The par
ents Of many of these children claim
that they are unable to send their chill
dren to school because there is no seat
for them. Others again say that they
have no fit clothes with which to dress
the little ones If there we're room.
The chief has accordingly directed
his officers to question all children be-
tween the ages Of Z and IA who are
upon the streets during school hours,
take their names and ascertain why
they are not at school. Their names
and the reason of their absence will be
reported to the chief, who will inves-
tigate the matter and apply a proper
remedy.
If there is no room for the children
in the school the attention OF the
Voard Of Education will be called tc
the fact that though there may be. nc
room in some schools in others many
vacancies exist.
The other order directs the officers tC
arrest all parties found washing oil
gTeasing wagons upon the street at any
time during the day, as it is violation
Of a city ordinance.

THE STATE CONVENTION

The Democratic delegates who as
semb.ed in state convention at Dover
yesterday performed their work in a
thorough, sensible and business-lilze
manner. There was neither contention
nor log-rolling. Hon. l.. Irving Handy
was renominated' for congressman, and
Hon. w. NJ. Ross for state treasurer.
The failure Of the Kent county caucus
TO Ienominate Dr. Beniah l.. Lewis for
state auditor was a matter OF surprise,
but the selection OF DIR. L. A. II. Bishop
for that place on the ticket places be-
fore the people a man who is just as
acceptable and competent as DR.. Lewis
would have been, and it is especially
gratifying to note that the substitu-
ton was accomplished in a manner
which was perfectly satisfactory to the
present state auditor and his friends.
Republicans felicitated themselves
upon the expectation that the money
question would lead to a division and
fight on the floor of the convention, but
their hopes were not realized. Every
delegate went to Dover fully deter
mined to do his part, in a manly and
unselhsh manner, to nominate a ticket
and enunciate a platform worthy OF
every Democrat. How c,evorly they did
their work Is apparent. The platform
is what 1t should have been and In
strict accord with Democratic princi-
pies. Governor Tunnel has made an
admirable executive, and his admins
tration was worthy OF the praise be-
slowed. Everyone knows that the Nc
Klnley administration has not nearly
sized up to the promises OF his friends.
The Dingley tariff law never has and
never will receive the endorsement OF
Democrats. 1t Expresses the people
and hampers trade. Many Republi-
cans will endorse the declaration that
the war revenue act is not equitable
in its operations, and that the country
should be reduced to a peace footing
as soon as possible. Democrats are moi
alone in demanding a rigid and impair
tial investigation OF the conduct OF 9
Republican War Department. TIL,
scandal has become so open that somt
OF the leading Republicans OF the coun.
try support the demand. True Della.
wareans OF all shades OF political be.
lief must endorse the dynuncfatiOn. nj
Addicks; the criticism Of Ghe Regular
Republicans for entering into a dea
with him, and the demand for this
preservation OF the purity OF the bal
lot.
With such candidates. standing OF
such platform, there can be no sucl
thing as Democratic defeat in Delawar,
this Fall.
