PRESIDENT FAURE DEAD.
A Victim of Heart Disesse-M. Loubst
 Elected to succsed Him.

M. Francois Felix Faure. president of France, died at 10 o'clock Friday night after an illness of three hours. It had been known for some time that his heart was weak, but the first inti- nation that he was sick was given at half past in the afternoon. when a message was dispatched to the premier, M. Dupuy, announcing that the presi- dent was III.
 M. Dupuy went immediately to the Elysee, and four doctors were called.
 The doctors soon recognized that the case was hopeless, but 1t was not until nearly o'clock that the members of the family were informed of the real state of affairs. They then came to the sofa where the president lay upon a hastily improvised bed. Soon sfter he began to lose consciousness and despite all efforts expired at 10 o'clock in the pres ence of the family and M. Dupuy.
 The flag over the Elysee palace was immediately lowered to half mast, and the news was dispatched to all the off, cials and the members of the cabinet.
 President Faure's body lay in state at the Elysee over Sunday. Messages of condolence have been received from all

WANT ARMY CANTEEN ABOLISHED.
Appeal From the Woman's Christian
 Temperance Union of Connecticut.

Appeal From the Woman's Christian
 Temperance Union of Connecticut.
 Great rejoicing was manifested throughout the country when the news came from Washington that the Hull Army Bill" with an amendment abolish ing the army canteen had passed the House, with hardly dissenting vote. This is now in the hands of the Senate Committee on Military affairs of which Senator Hawley is chairman. The sub- committee of that committee reports in favor of striking out the House amend ment and substituting, That in the can- teens established under army regulations DO liquor shall be sold except beer and non on-intoxicating drinks This means of course that the canteen with its attendant evils is to be fastened upon the army, despite the most convincing testi- monies as to its injurious effects in the recent war from Generals Miles, Shafter, Wheeler, Oorbin and many others besides chaplains and sergeants. Beer kindles an appetite for whiskey and rum-for the devil alcohol is in both.
 If beer is allowed it will be difficult to exclude the stronger drinks. It is only a compromise with evil. The voice of Connecticut should be heard by our senators at Washington, through the press. by personal letters. and resolu- tions, protesting against the Senate sub- stitute, and in favor of the House amendment.
 If Congress adiourns March 4th, it is imperative th,t this be done at once. It is question of hours-not days. ..

the monarchs of Europe and from Pres ident Mckinley. The national assembly met Saturday afternoon and elected M Loubet president to succeed M. Faure.
 Police measures for the maintenance of order have been taken on an extsn- sive scale.
 It is affirmed that the Dupuy cabinet will act energetically to maintain pub lie order.
 The keynote of M. Loubet's policy may probably be found in the following conversation with M. Bourgeois, leader of the Moderate Radicals, who came to offer to the new president the support of his party. Before accepting it M. Loubet said:
 You are doubtless aware that one of the first enactments of any ministry of mine will be a stringent law to stem the current of insult, infamy and defa- mation which now befouls France. I fear that perhaps legislation of this kind will scarcely tally with the Rad ical ideas"
 M. Bourgeois answer was a cheerful acQuiescence.
 Prince Victor Napoleon, the Bona- partist claimant, has been busy for sew eral months from his safe retreat In Brussels trying to bolster up his cause in France. There have been recently many rumors of alliances with various factions, and even the extreme asser- ton that one of the highest military men in France had been drawn into an alliance with the prince. Nothing how ever has openly developed from all this agitation, although 1t is recognized that the Bonaparte feeling is still strong in many parts of France.

thirty Of the delegates are women, and
1t is the first national or International

During his address Mr.. Capen said !:
"We welcome you to a renewal Of the
| old fellowships and to a discussion OF the
great problems that confront the nations.
Together, we will kindle anew the mis-
sionary spirit, and do what we may to
lift the cross Of Christ little higher. We
have watched with admiration the in
creasing courage and faith and power of
the non. conformist churches, In which
Congregationalists have been oonspicu-
GUS. We are sure there has been growth

In 1899 better than In 1891. We owe 60
you our ballot system, and other great
things and glory in your progress In the
building Of the new brotherhood of civil
and religious liberty toward which the
world hastens.
Wonderful progress Is being made by
our Canadian peighbors just over the
border with whom, without fort or bar
riar, we have live IN peace for nearly
100 years, peacs, prophecy, which
never will be broken. We have more
faith than ever in that system which was
born in the cabin OF the Mayfiower, the
germ of free church and a free state.
ave are told that America little real
lied the silent revolution that has taken
place in England. bringing their nation
into fuller sympathy with the Democratic
institutions OF America. Togethsr
we believe : not only in religious
liberty and humanity and In the right
OF self-government but also that the Cos
pei oflthe Son of God is the only power tt
redeem the nations"
The representative of the American
society, Rev. A. o. Hazen of Boston, was
then presented.
