The Death Of General Harrison

When the diagnosis of intercostal neural
gin in General Harrison'S case was changer
10y his phy sica0s to that of pneumonia the
latter announcement was Of omlnous I'M
port. In a person of his age, with well ue'
yeOped inflammation OF the lungs, 1t was
merely question of Sus aimed vitality up TO
the time when the crisis in the disease should
occur.
For day or two after the commencement
of the fever and unll the upper portion of
the lung became soIid,ied everything see
med to be going favorably. Tue pulse was
reasonably str ng, the temperature not un'
usually high aud the respiration was not
hurried.
1t was only when the latter fuction be-
came weakened, his pulse began to fail and
a semi comatoSe condition superyened that
hope was lost.
In the pneumonia of the aged the end is
apt to come during any phase of the disease,
but more particularly during the first few
days of the attack.

Chinese Press On Russia 5 Attitude.
Manchuria Agreement a
Mockery.
PROPOSED DECISION
OF THE EMPIRE.

A copy of the North China Herald,
received at the Navy Department in
Washington contains comments on the
terms OF the Russo Chinese agreement. The
paper says:
4" 1t does not need much ingenuity to
show what a mockery this agreement is.
Manchuria is to be restored to the Chinese,
as long as they keep order in a turbulent
province full of armed and mounted bandits,
without soldiers, arms, arsenals, forts or
powder stores; and meanwhile they are to
prove their humiliation to the people by
providing board and lodging for all the
troops the Russians sed to permanently oc.
cupy the province. The Chinese are to
keep peace and order and protect the
realwAy, under pain of losing the province
altogether. with unarmed local police; and
while the Tartar e neral will be responsible
tor what he does or leaves undone, he is to
do nothing without consulting the Russian
political resident, who will have at his
disposal the oily armed force in the province
except the bandits. That is what Russia
calls maintaining the integrity Of the
Chinese empire. 1t would have been more
straightforward If she had said outright that
sue considered Manchuria to he outsld4 the
Chinese empire"
In other Chinese papers that have been
received it is said that numerous memorials
have been sent to the imperial court by
conservative Chinese officials Among
others one suggests that the empire be
divided into two portions, mol thwes ern and
southeastern, and each amply provided with
arms and ammunition to prevent further
peace negotiations, punshments and in
IDENTITIES. Tnat memorial has been sent
to the vlceroyS or governors of he various
provinces for discussion and comment.

Thrilling Experience Of an
American Volunteer.
FREQUENTLY THREATENED
WITH DEATH.

John Il Fox, private of Company A,
Thirtieth Volunteer Infantry, who returned
with his regiment on the transport Hancock

Fiplnos. From Jan. Is, 1899, until the
lst of Sep ember of the same year Fox
was held by the semi ba-barOus natives in
mountain Businesses. with no knowledge of
his whereabouts nor of the intentions of his
captors concerning his own disposition. He
escaped several times, only to be recaptured
and threatened with punishment il he again
attempted to get away. He had reason to
believe that the threat might be carried out,
for fellow prisoner named John Kenney
from Illinois, also private of the Thirtieth,
was deliverately shot by the FilipInos for
attempting 70 escape.
Private Fox is from Wooldlawn, Iii :, and
served in Cuba before going to the Philip
pines. On Jan. Is, 1899, fifty men, com.
prising pony tran, were suddenly surround.
ed by large number of armed Fllipinos at

the Thlrtieth, were captured by the enemy.
They were released by Gen. Gaillus and
turned over to the Americans atSanta Cruz
