Harrison died at 4:45 p. m. without
regsining consciousness. The express
tdent's death was quiet and painless,
there being gradual sinking until
the end came, which was marked by
single gasp for breath as life de-
parted from the body of the great
statesman. The relatives, with few
exceptions, and several of his Old and
tried friends were at the bedside when
he passed away.
The generals condition was so bad
after restless night that the attend
ing physicians understood that the
end could not be far off and all the
bulletins sent out from the sick room
were to this effect so that 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

received telegraphic adyices from the Grand
Council to the effect that the official route
has been handed in to the empress and re-
ceived her approval. The court will go to
Kaifeng, the capital Of Honan, for tenn
porary stay. Crossing the river, as already
announced, at Liu Yuen, they proceed via
Yen Chinghsien to Wei Hui-fu and Chang
Te-fu, entering Chihli at Tzu Chou. At
Chen Ting-fu they will encounter the rail-
way by which they will go to Pekin. On
receipt of this advice H. f. Sung at once
sent expresses to all the officials along the
route to make haste and prepare all things
needful. All traffic at the ferries was to be
forthwith stopped.
It was formerly the intention to go by
water all the way to Tien Tsin. but the
Chinese plenipotentiarieS wired that the
French were making soundings in the river,
intending to send launches to meet the
court When the court heard this the idea
of going to Tien Tsin was speedily aban-
doned. Over two thousand carts VIII be
required by the imperial cortege. In or'ii-
nary cases the rule is to require -hese
from the various districts through which
the road leads. In this case, however, 1t is
thought that the rule should be departed
from, and the following arrangements are
contemplated: All the officials In the prov
