DEATH OF THE GREAT VERDI
After a Hard Struggle the End Came
PeacefuIIy-The VILLA
d Request.

Milan, Jan. 2S.-Although preceded
by a struggle for life that lasted two
days, Verdi's death, when it came Sat.
urday, was peaceful. He did not re.
gain consciousness. When he passed
away he was surrounded by relatives
and intimate friends. The announce.
ment of his death created great emo.
ton Theaters, pleasure resorts anC
many stores were closed, and nearly
all the prominent residences were
draped.
Yesterday the city authorities pub.
lished a eulogistic proclamation which
was posted throughout Milan.
King Victor Emmanuel sent to the
behalf of himself and Queen Helena
saying:
I'VE join in the homage. regrets
and admiration offered by Italy and
the civilized world to the immortal
memory of Verdi. The nation and
the glorious art of our country have
suffered a loss so serious hat it is
beyond repair"
In his will Verdi asks that the
funeral ma be very modest" He
suggests that it take place either al
daybreak or eventide, and that the
ceremony be without music. "The
chanting of two priests, two candles
end a cross will suffice" he wrote.
Many legacies were left to friends
The date of the funeral has not
been fixed, but it will probably be
Wednesday or Thursday. The inter
ment will be in the chapel of The Re
treat for INDECENT Musicians, which
Verdi established.

The Dawes commission yesterday
ordered a discontinuance of the sur
veying in the disturbed district. Nose
Lyon, in charge of a party that ar
rived here to-day, states that a num-
Der of light horsemen are still riding

PROPOSED GIANT CAR TRUST.
Syndicate to Buy Out the Pullman
and Absorb All Private Car
Companies.
Chicago, Jan. 2s.-The Chronicle

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-The Chronicle
says:
sit is now rumored that the Harri-
Observation-Disclosures railroad syn
dicate is planning to buy out the Pull
man Car Co., and absorb, SO far as
possible, all the private car com
panies.
For some time, it is said, h syndi'
cate has been negotiating for the pur'
chase of a controlling interest in the
Pullman company. Just how far the
negotiations for the absorption of the
sleeping car concern have progressed
can not be learned, but it is the pre-
vailing opinion that the deal is on.

A Gorgeous Contingent.

bards were beautifully and heavily
embroidered with silk lions, the royal

The militia laws of the United States
were passed between 1892 and 1862. and
many of the provisions now in force are

with a good musket or frelock, of a bore
sufficient for balls of the 18th part of a
