almost Immediately and was followed by
paralysis of the left side. Finally the
patient fell into absolute coma and died at
1870. He was unable TO speak during his
last moments.
ITO sum up, it was a sudden attack and
from the first all efforts were useless. The
president did not experience any premonitOry
symptoms He had only a slight loss of
appetite, which could not cause alarm, and
was surprised to see him thus struck
down. He had not recently had any official
fatigue, but the Fashoda affair had greatly
disturbed him. The Dreyfus matter had
also caused him real grief and he was very
anxious regarding the home and foreign
situation in France"
The premier NJ. Dupuy, has fixed the
meeting of the national assembly. or con-

Degree of Grief Affected by the
Politics of the NeMsbnncrs.

IOI1ttrS tne Ne"SDhbeTS.
PARIS, Feb. 17.--All the morning news
papers contain comments upon the sudden
death of President Faure last night. These
comments are apparently dictated rather by
/ each particular journals views of the po-
litical situation than by any other considera-
tion. Few of them find time to dwell upon
the best points of the character of the late
president but many of them do not hesitate
to call attention to his weaknesses.
The Echo de Paris, in the course of an
| eulogistic obituary points out that while
President Faures love of ceremony caused
| smiles his attitude was always constitu-
tional. 1t adds: The French people will
render to the dead chief of state a tribute
of homage and respect and will express
| sincere regrets at his tomb"
The Journal says: THE judgment will
be Honor to his memory"
The Gaulois says: "Those who knew NJ.
Faure will mourn him. He was a worthy
man, obligng and charitable. 1t was no
small surprise for Europe to see this former
workman bear himself at the court of Russia
as if he had always lived on the steps of
throne"
The Eclair pays homage to the dead preei-
dent, who, it asserts, was always abso-
lutey correct and remained within the strict
limits assigned to him by the constitution"
The Radical reproached the late president
with not being a sincere republican.
Gil Bias says: Fortune was faithful to
him and will assure him the regrets of the
masses"
President Faure, according to the Steele
Represented the laboring democracy and un-
| fortunately failed to understand the great
ness of the task which fell to him. He
only regarded the presidency as the means
of making display"
The Petit journal believes the president
succumbed to "the weight OF the moral sor-
rows and responsibilities accompanying the
lamentable crisis We are traversing."
The Petit Parisienne believes that the
! disappearance of M. Faure will be all the
more cruelty felt, "as it will compicate a
| situation already difficult"
! The Petit Republque says "He did much
! harm. Though he did not become inten-
| tionally reactiOnary by egotstical com
! plaisance to all the retrograde forces, no
was one of those who brought the republic
to this dangerous crisis"
The Matin says: IF fortune, success and
grandeurs affected him to the point OF max
| ing him forget his old friends the fault was
| due more to others than to himself This
sudden end in destroying the success effaces
| the miserable details"
The lntransgeant accuses President Faure
of allowing his head to be turned by pride,
, says 1t considers the election of his sue
cessor TO be a life and death question for
France and adds: 1T is important above
! all that his successor should be a sincere
patriot free from all blemsh of Dreyfus-
ism"

SENATE EXPRESSES REGRET
Resolution of sympathy TO the Re-
public of France Introduced
by senator Morgan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA bill granting
TO the Pasadena & Mount Wilson Railway
company a right-of-way through the San
Gabriel forest reserve. California, was
passed soon after the senate convened today
Mr.. Morgan, addressing the senate, said
the very sad information had been trans
mitted to this country by cable of the death
of President Faure of the French republic.
He thought il fitting that the senate should
make some expression upon the death of
President Faure. 1t was not unlikely, he
thought the incident might give trouble not
only to France but to the entire world. He
then offered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
That the vice president of the United
States president of the senate, is requested
to express to the government and people Of
France the sympathy of the senate of the
United States in the bereavement that has
so suddenly fallen upon that republic in the
death of Faure.
