and the establishments OF many French
firms on the Avenue de rOpera, the

received official notification OF the
Presidents death when the Associated
Press disaptch announcing It arrived

affected by yesterdays intelligence He
had undergone very painful but not
dangerous operation for local trouble
yesterday and was upset by the sud-
den change for the worse in Mr.. Me-
