HARRISON FINDSREST|
Great Ex-PreSident Finally
Yields to Disease.
In Presence of His Wife and
Many Friends.
Universal Expressions of
Sorrow Pour In.

indianapolis, March 14.-General
Benjamin Harrison died at 4:45
o'clock yesterday afternoon without
regaining consciousness. His death
was quiet and painless, there being
a gradual sinking until the end came
which was marked by single gasp
for breath as life departed from the
body of the great statesman. Rela-
tives, with few exceptions, and sew
eral old and tried friends were at the
bedside when he passed away. The
generals condition was so bad that
the attending physicians understood
the end could not be far off and all
bulletins sent out from the sick room
were to this effect, SO the family and
friends were prepared when the final
blow came, The gradual failing of
the remarkable strength shown by the
patient became more noticeable in the
afternoon. A few moments before the
end there was an apparent breakdown
on the part of the sufferer as he sur

rendered to the disease against which
he had so bravely battled for so many
hours. The change was noticed by
the physicians and the relatives and
friends who had retired from the sick
room to the library below were quick
ly summoned and reached the bedside
of the general before he passed away.
News of his death spread quickly
through the city and produced the
greatest sorrow, nearly every one hav-
ing nurtured the hope that he would
recover. Within few moments the
flags or all public buildings and most
downtown business blocks were hoist
ed at half mast and other outward
manifestations of mourning made.
None of General Harrison's children
were present at his death. Neither
Colonel Russell B. Harrison nor Mrs.
Mckee had reached the city, although
both were hurrying on their way as
fast as steam would bear them.
Elizabeth, the little daughter, had
been taken from the sick room by the
nurse before the end came The group
at the bedside included Mrs. Harrison,
w. II. T. Miller, Samuel Miller, his
son, Rev. NJ. l.. Haines, pastor af the
First Presbyterian church, which Har-
rison attended many years; Secretary
Tibbett, Drs. Jameson and Dorsey,
Col. Dan Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms
of the United States senate, Clifford
Arrick and two nurses, who had been
in constant attendance at the bedside.
General Harrison's two sisters and
aunt were also present. Mrs. Harri-
son knelt at the right hand side of the
bed, her husbands right hand
grasped in hers while DR.. jameson
held the left hand of the dying man.
counting his feeble pulse beats. In a
few moments after the friends had
been summoned to the room the end
came. The great silence that fell on
the sorrowing watchers by the bed
side was broken by the voice of DR..
Haines raised in prayer for the be-
reaved wife and family and mingled
with the sobs of the mourners.
General Harrison had been uncon-
scious for hours before his death, the
exact time when he passed into a COM
atose state being hard TO determine. |

THE WOE OF RUSSIA.
Terrible Destitution Prevailing in
Many Places.

News from Russia is ominous Of
horror. The perennial scourge of
that empire, famine, is again more
than commonly rampant. We are
told, on authority of the imperial gov
eminent, that in Kherson is the great
province at the north of the Black sea,
of which the city of Odessa is the cap-
ital, with an area more than half as
large as that of New York state and a
population of nearly 100000. Smo-
lensk is central province, just west
of Moscow, nearly as large as West
Virginia and with nearly 1900, 900 in
habitants. Tomsk is that vast prov
ince OF southwestern Siberia into
which settlers have been pouring BY
hundreds of thousands since the ST.
berian railroad was built, and which
has been proudly called the grainfield
OF the world, with an area ont-thir1
larger than Texas and a population of
probably 100000. The three, widely
separated, have together an area sew
en- and a half times as great as that of
New York state and a population as
numerous, and in them the crops are
a complete failure"
Nor is that ALL In half a dozen
other provinces the case is nearly as
bad. These include four clustered
around kherson. to wit, Bessarapia
hlef, Podona and Taurida-the whole
southwestern corner of European
Russia, with an area as large as New
iorK state and population much
greater. The other two are in Siberia.
One is Tobolsk, the vast and populous
province just beyond the Urals. the
southern part of which is trayersed Lv
the railroad. and the area of which is
twice that of Texas. The other is
trans bailkalia, the garden of eastern
siberia, bordering upon Manchuria
nearly as large as Texas. The NOM.
lation of these two Siberian provinces
mas grown greatly in recent years and
now probably numbers close to three
millions. These six semi-destitpta
provinces have, therefore. a nonn,a.

speak was too much and he could do
nothing more to express his apprecia-

the slowly dying man to consciousness
failed and he died without word OF
recognition to any of the loved ones

Louisville, KY, Nov. 13. - Newell G.
Rathbun, who was supposed to be dead
in a Jeffersonville. Ind, hotel last
Tuesday, was arrested here yesterday.
According to Rathbun the corpse which
was shipped to- Little Rock for burial
as the body of Rathbun was the body
of w. l.. Ten Eyke. The police say
that Rathbun has confessed to deser-
ton from the United States army and
to having formed a plan to fraudulent
ly collec $40 insurance on his life,
but that he denies having killed the
man who died in the Jeffersonville no.
tel. Rathbun was arrested about IL
o'clock yesterday morning at the
United States recruiting station in
Louisville. He is held as a fugitive
from justice. The arrest was made on
information from Sergt. Skinner, of the
United States recruiting station. Rath-
bun enlisted under the name of Lou
Root, Detroit" Rathbun said last
night in an interview that at Platts-

the plan was ito slip a body into some
motel, set IRE TO the building after haV-
ing left letters ard papers of mine in
the pockets of the clothes. OF course,
when the hotel burned we expected the
body to be burned up too or at lease
so scorched that no one could recognize
him."
He says the corporal came to Louis
vile, and under their agreement the
corporal was to secure the body. Rath-
bun hints that the corporal drugged
the victim if he was drugged. He says
he does not now where the corporal is
now.
Rathbun, who enlisted here at Lou
Root, gave his birthplace as Detroit,
his trade as a printer, and his age as
twenty-seven. Coroner Cotes of Jeffer-
sonville states that he examined the

traces Of enough laudanum to kill two
men.
