Died Yesterday Noon At His Hsme at East
MarthfiaId, Mass aehusetts.
Was Stricken With Heart Failure
During Meeting at Kansas
City Last Month, and Though
Everything Was Done by Emil
nent Physicians to Pro1ong Life,
Their Efforts Were in Vain.

EAST. NORTHFIELD (Mass.), Dec.
22.-Dwight L. Moody, the famous
evangelist, died at noon to-day. 1t
was not expected until yesterday by
the members of the family and imme
date circle of friends that death would
be the result of his illness.
The cause of death was general
breaking down due to overwork Mr..
Moody's heart had been weak for a
long time, and the exertions put forth
in connection with meetings in the
West last month brought on a collapse,
from which he failed to rally.
The evangelist broke down at Kan
sas City, Mo-, where he was holding
services, about month ago, and the
seriousness Of his condition was so APP
parent to the physicians who were
called to attend him that they forced
him to abandon his tour and return to
his home with all possible speed. After
he reached Mortified eminent physi-
clans were consulted, and everything
done to prolong life. A bulletin issued
last week communicated the tidings to
the public that Mr.. Moody was very
i'll, but that a little improvement was
noticed. This week the patient showed
a steady gain until yesterday, when
he showed symptoms of nervousness,
accompanied by weakness, which
caused the family much anxiety. This
morning the weakness continued, and
at o'clock Mr.. Moody called his wife
and children, telling them that the end
was not far off. The family remained
close by the bedside all the forenoon.
The evangelist was almost free from
pain, and occasionally he talked with

MAJOR GENERAL MILES.
What He Has to say Of the War in
South Africa.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-Major

Outwaite of the United States Ord
nance Board, who arrived here yester-
day to witness a test of a new smoke
less powder, to-day went to Meadville,
Pa, to examine the new wire-wound
guns. General Miles said regarding
the South African situation"
THE struggle between the British and
Beers is a very serious war. There
have been some severe losses, and l
believe there will be serious encounters
before it is ended. AS to the probable
results, 1, of course, cannot predict. IT
the British are defeated it is likely TO
involve Europe in serious complica-
tons.
LAS to the tactics of the contending
armies, both seem to be pursuing what
is termed open order methods. 1t is a
mistake to compare the tactics o. the
Beers to those of our Indians. Their
tactics are the white mans tactics.
THE outcome, of course, depends
upon the skill of the commanders, as
it does in every war. The Beers have
been preparing for it for the last ten
years. In view of the circumstances,
1 do not think their showing so far is
in the nature of a surprise. They
have had no difficulty in procuring
ammunition. The people in the Trans
vaal are accustomed to the use Of pow
der in mining operations. They know
how to manufacture cartridges there.

"DEMOCRACA" sUsPENDs.
The Manila Newspapers Reasons
for Ceasing Publication.

MANILA, Dec. 22.-(1O:50 p. n.y.
The newspaper "Democraca," the or
gan Of a coterie of Filipinos, including
the Supreme Court Judges, favoring
American control in the Philippines, to-
night announces that it has been decid-
ed to suspend publication. The paper
was started at the suggestion and un-
der the patronage of the Philippines
Advisory Commission, headed by Pro-
fessor j. G. Schurman.
q The 'Democraca" prints a single page
in big type. In the statement accom-
panying the announcement of it's sus-
pension, the editor says he has been di-
rected by the Provost Marshal to re-
tract certain criticisms of the clerical
methods adopted in regard to the man
agement of schools, and adds:
Recognizing the authority of the
Provost Marshal, we have no recourse
suspend publication until the present
extraordinary conditions regarding
press matters disappear. When we
know what laws rule US, by what mode
we are judged, and to whose jurisdic-
ton press matters are amenable, the
'Democraca' will reappear."
The paper has generally been warm
supporter of the administration The
Provost Marshal recently threatened
to suppress it for publishing an editor
ial asserting that Manila streets were
in a worse condition under the Ameri-
can than they had been under Spanish
administrati ton.
The Manila "Tilhes'' was also recent
~ warned, with an intimation Of i'm
prisonment and cbnfiscation for print
ing an editorial recommending the crea-
ton of Board of Charity Commission
ers to control the charitable institu-
tons, on account Of rumors of misman-
agement of charitable funds by the
church authorities.
The newspapers complain bitterly
that the authorities exercise a paternal
supervision, threatening suppression.
they claim, for trifing errors in the
publication of news not connected with
public matters. They also say the
censorship handicaps newspaper enter
prise by suppressing cable dispatches
received from respectable agencies,
whose transmission is of an exceeding
ly costly character. The matter sup
pressed includes reports of the Govern
ment's action, among them being Phil
ippine and American occurrences which
might give the Filipinos an unfavor-
able opinion of the United States.

says: 1.-THE Boer fighting line is very
thin, and a single British success
might crumple it completely. The
real danger, however, is not the mill
tary situation, but the likelihood of a
Dutch rebellion, which would make the
area of war so vast that an additional
$4,000 men would be easily swallowed
up in maintaining the enormous length
of British communication"
Referring to the tardy acceptance Of
assistance from the local forces, the
correspondent says: General Butler
undoubtedly displayed certain self
sufficieHcy and unwillingness to accept
local advice or assistance, which
events quickly modified"
The Daily News sees immense sig
nificance in the fact that Lord Rob-

life of General Stonewall Jackson, the
Confederate leader, and man who has
closely studied the history of the
American civil war, especially as he
has not served under Lord Roberts
before, and is but little known to him
personally. The appointment is re-

with the rumor that General Joubert

General Methuen's complaint about
the rudeness of his opponent is the lat
est surprise of this surprising war, and,
judging from the tone of some of the
comments, General Methuens peevish-
ness is more distasteful to many peo-

silence would have.
There is no diminution of excitement
among the volunteers. Offers of en-
listment continue to reach Lord Ches-
ham, who is to command the volun-
teer force. Members of the Stock Elk

horses from their stables, and an offer
of an Irish contingent of 115 hunting
men was accepted this morning.

Gold Plank of Republican Platform

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Senator
Foraker, in answer to the statements
concerning the authorship of the gold
plank of the Republican platform of
1896, said to-day: 1.-THE statements
published by Mr.. Payne, Governor
Merriam, Senator Hanna and Senator
Proctor do not conflict with any state
ment that has been made by me.
neither do they help in any way Mr..
Kohlsaat. The point ins-issue was
whether or not Mr. Kohlsaat drafted
the gold plank and forced its adoption
upon the committee. These state
ments show that he had nothing what
ever to do with the framing Of the
plank except in common with other
Republicans, and refute absolutely his
claim Of authorship"

he was heard to utter were:

man, not to lay up wealth, but to find
work to do"
Just before II o'clock the watchers
saw that the end was approaching,
and at exactly noon the great preacher
passed away.
Mr.. Moody first knew at o'clock
last evening that he could not recover
He was satisfied that this was so, and
when the knowledge came to him, his
words were:
1.-THE world is receding, and heaven
opening"
During the night Mr.. Moody had a
number of sinking spells. He was, how
ever, kindness itself to those about
him. At 2 o'clock this morning Dr.
N. P. Wood, the family physician, who
spent the night at the home, was called
at the request of Mr.. Moody. The
patient was perspiring, and he re-
quested his son-in-law A. P. FIT. who
spent the first of the night with him,
to call the physician, that he might
note the symptoms. DR.. Wood ad-
ministered a hypodermic injection of
strychnine. This caused the heart to
perform it's duties more regularly, and
Mr.. Moody himself requested his SON
in-law, Mr.. Fit, and DR.. Wood to re-
tire.
Mr.. Moodys eldest son. Will r.
Moody, who had been sleeping the first
of the night. spent the last half with
his father. At 100 this morning DR..
Wood was called. and when he reached
Mr.. Moody's room found his patient in
a semi-conscious condition.
When Mr.. Moody recovered con-
seriousness he said with all his old
vivacity, What's the matter. what's
going on here ?"
Some member of the family replied:
Father, you have not been well. so we
came to see you.''
little later he said to his bow: at
have always been an ambitious man,
not ambitious to lay up wealth. but to
leave you work to do
In substance, Mr. Moody urged his
two boys and his son-in-law. Mr.. Fit,
to see that the schools in East North
field, at Mount Hermon and the Chicago
Institute should receive their best care.
This they assured Mr. Moody that they
would do.
During the forenoon Mrs. A. P. Fit,
his daughter, said to Mr. Moody:
Father, we cannot spare you.'',
Mr.. Moody's reply was: IT am not
going to throw my life away. If God
has more work for me to do, I'll not
