Demise the Result of Injuries Heceiv'

Trolley Car Last Saturday
Morning.

louisville, KY, May f3.-Walter N
Haldeman, President OF The Louisville
Courier-JournaI Company, and one of the
most active newspaper men in the coun-
try, died suddenly at 3 o'clock this morn
ing from the effects of injuries by being
struck by trolley car Saturday morn
ing. He was over 81 years old.
was educated at Maysville Academy with
Gen. u. s. Grant and others of note.
In 1910 he became bookkeeper in The
Louisville Journal office and four years
later started The Daily Dime paper which
was soon converted into The Louisville
Courier. This he conducted until 1861,
when it was suppressed by military DOM
nation, Mr.. Haldeman being a Confeder-
ate sympathizer.
The Courier soon appeared at Bowling
Green, KY, and then at Nashville and
at the close of the civil war Mr.. Halde-
man resumed the public alton OF The Cou-
rier in this city until 1865. when, in con-
cert with Henry Watterson of The Jour
nal, the two papers were consolidated
and appeared as The Louisville Courier
journal, which has since continued under
the same management. In May, 1884, Mr..
Haldeman started The Evening Times.
Mr. Haldeman was a man OF consider

residence in this city Wednesday after
noon at 4 o'clock and the interment will
be in Cave Hill Cemetery.
In tomorrow's Courier-Journal, Henry
Watterson will pay a tribute to Mr.. Hal
deman as "Louisville's most generous,
useful and public-spirted citizen" and,
after reviewing Mr.. Haldemans life, will
say: 1T is impossible for him who COM
piles these inadequate memorials at this
moment to comprehend the force of the
blow which has overtaken him along with
the near and dear ones of mis- own strick-
en- household; to realize that the friend
of forty years-the partner Of thirty-four
is gone; and yet the hand that would
fain write of him Is paralyzed with the
sense of it's own weakness. During all
these years there was never serious
difference of opinion, never an unkind
word, but only the most thorough conf
dence and affection, redolent of great hap
piness to both"

AMERICA NOT NvMcIBLE

Lesson Of the Late Conflict IL That

sd-stewart Says Free
Silver IL Dead.

Washington. May 13.-The naval appro-
priaton bill. which provides for two new
battieships. two armored cruisers and
two gunboats, and carries total Of ST.
650.00o was taken up In the House today.
Representative Foss Qlis.), chairman Of
the Naval Committee. in opening the de-
bate, sounded a note of warning against
the over-confdent belief that our navy
Is invlncibie.9 He declared that our VIC
tories at Manila and Santiago were due
to the fact that We were contending with
an effete and decaying nation. and that
our strength far unmatched Spain in
those contests.
Mr.. Rixey tva) also spoke for the bill.
The conference report on the omnibus
claims bill was rejected on the ground
that the claims not considered by either
branch Of Congress had been inserted In
the measure by the conferees. and the
measure was returned to conference.
Mr.. Floss said that while we have 1873
ships built and building, yet comparative
ly few Of them have any real fighting
value. Most of these now building are
what are termed peace boats.

Because they were superior: they had q

THE SENATE.

Washington, May IAN additional ap.
preparation of $500, 900 was made by the
Senate today for the stricken people OF
the French West Indies in accordance
with the recommendations of the Presi-
dent that $500 900 be appropriated.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
passed. and Mr.. Stewart New in sup
porting the Philippines government bill
warned the minority that no political
gain would result to them. While dis
cussing the coinage of the proposed silver
dollar of the Philippines, Mr.. Stewart de-
clared that the silver question in this
country was dead, at least for the
present, on account Of the large output
of gold.
Mr.. Tillman inquired of Mr. Stewart
why 1t was intended to give the Philip
pines the silver dollar proposed in the bill
to be coined.
Mr.. Stewart said that for time i'm
memorial the Mexican dollar had been
used as a standard in the Philippines.
The pending bill simply provides the
Filipinos with stable currency of a
kind they have been accustomed to.
Mr.. Tillman twitted Mr.. Stewart with
change of his views on the silver ques-
ton.
The Nevada Senator warmly denied the
imputation. intimating that Mr.. Tilman
could not understand the argument he
had made. His views. he said, had not
changed. For the present at. least. the
silver question was dead. because the
enormous output OF gold had made good
times. If the Philippines were a great
manufacturing country. he said, he should
hesitate to give them the coinage pro-
vision inserted in the pending bill, but
under the circumstances 1t was the proper
thing to do.
Mr.. Lodge explained that the Philip
pine committee in inserting the free coin
change In the monetary standard of the
islands.
Mr. CuIlom presented the conference
report of the Cuban diplomatic and con-
suIar bill. He explained the House con-
ference had agreed to the amendment
making the salary Of the minister to
the Republic of Cuba $12. a year, but
that they would not agree to the amend
ment providing $4,000 year for the
minister's house or for that making a
provision for an additional consul. The
Senate conferecs therefore had yielded as
to those two amendments. The report
was agreed to.
Mr.. Hoar CMass.l inquired what title
was given to the Cuban Government in
the hill.
1.-THE Republic of Cuba" replied Mr..
Cullom.
"And is the American flag to he taken
down from the isand?" inquired Mr..
Ioar.
81 suppose so: OF course" responded
Mr.. Culom.

class arc also expected to die.
The scenes in and around Sheraden to-
day were pitiful In the extreme. Prac'
-ticalIy every house in the village had one
or more injured inmates and In many
homes lay the charred and distorted re-
mains Of the fire victims. Many chill
dren were caught by the flames yester
day and the two public school buildings
today were almost deserted. OF the 20
pupils enrolled there were but 200 In at
tendance today. OF the 500 absent, Pro
lessor Hannum estimated 100 were in
jured.
The damage to property by the explo
sion and fire will be heavy. The loss a
the mouth of Cork's Run tunnel alon'
will probably exceed 100000. In add
ton to the heavy loss by the railroad
company. twenty-five houses were des
troyed, either by the force Of the explo
sion or by the fire which followed.

CoLIMA IS THREATENING.
Mexican Volcano Gives Signs of Be-
coming Violent.

Guadalajara, Mex. May 13.-The Co.
lima Volcano shows strong indications of
a great eruption and the inhabitants liv-
ing in the valley at its base are moving
to safe distance from the peak from
which smoke and puffs of flame have been
belching for several days.
Mount Colima has threatened renewed
activity for several weeks. this condition
causing the work of constructing the ex-
tension of the Mexican Central Railroad
to Manzanillo passing near to the base
of the mountain to cease temporarily. The
route of the extension will probably be
changed in order to avoid any possible
disorder that an eruption might bring.
