The afternoon of the 18th of July he
passed in the garden of his little house
in the Rue de Tournon surrounded by his
friends. They could not disguise from
themselves the ominous truth; but he
was cheerful even to gayety. About s
o'clock Gouverneur Morris witnessed his
will. Somewhat fatigued he retired to
his apartments. Three hours later they
found him dead.
When notice of his death reached the
National Assembly all proceedings
stopped. standing and in silence the vote
was passed to attend his funeral; and

mortal remains. instead of being lodged
in the foreign burying ground Temporal

Final Estimate of His Career.

Here is Mr.. Watterson's final summing
up:
Il have tried in this imperfect sketch
TO present you a picture of u perfect
sailor; of q perfect naval commander,
of a perfect gentleman and patriot, for
in addition thereto. OF a man having re-
sistless personality He was possessed in
higher degree than any other, except
Napoleon himself, of the Napoleonic
genius, half fire and half ice half
divinition and half machine; a human
tiger, saddled and bridled out of the
equerry OF the gods and ridden by a
meteor.
In making his case could inundat te
you with documentary proof. The letters
to the Marine Committee of Congress for
his mastership of the naval problems of
that and of future ages; his behavior in
Holland, after the great sea fight as a
masterpiece of diplomacy of the highest
order; his official reports and private let
ters as masterpieces OF public sentiment.
the latter particularly showing him a
master in the gentle arts of chivalric
brotherhood, disinterested friendship and
loyal love. stepping stones across the
stream of life over which each true
gentleman must thread his way
Il know nothing like him in all his
tory, except Napoleon. The same foreign
birth; the same simple. strenuous life;
the same indomitabie will and ambition;
the same self f-poise in the face of dan
ger: the same magnetic power over all
who came in contact with him. Yet, un-
like Napoleon, he was as simple as a
child :"

Action Will Be Taken, However, Just as
Soon as All the Facts Have Been

are unable to account for tx. press re-
ports TO the effect that Mr. Leishman,

Turkish Government responsible for the
abduction Of Miss Ellen NJ. stone.
According TO these officials. Minister
Leishman has been instructed to make no
move whatever in the Stone case until
the Department Of state has received and
considered his report on the case. As
far as the departments present informa-
tion in the premises goes, &c would not
be safe 10 hold any power responsible for
the abduction Of the American mission

It is most decidedly the intention Of
the state Department TO taka further ac-
tion in the matter. The da,a at hand.
