THOMAS B. REED DEAD.
Great Leader of Congress Passed Away
Peacefully at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Thomas Brack-
ett Reed, ex-speaker of the House OF
representatives, and for many years
prominent in public life, died here
Saturday night at 1910 o'clock in his
apartments in the Arlington. The i'm
mediate cause of death was uraemia.
A change for the worse was noted in
Mr.. Reeds condition early in the
morning. AT $50 he was given sub
cutaneous saline TRANSMISSION in order to
stimulate the kidneys, which were
failing to perform their proper func-
tions. At o'clock in the afternoon the
saline solution was again administered, ,
about three quarts of fluid being used.
The heart became weaker and weaker,
but the patient regained consciousness
until IL O'Clock in the evening, when a
complete coma came on.
At the bedside when he died were
Mrs. Reed and Miss Katherine Reed,
Drs. Gardner, Mcdonald, Bishop and
Goodnow and the nurses. DIR. Good
now, who had been in consultation
with the local physicians, was again
summoned from Philadelphia.
Mr.. Reeds mind was in such state
during the day that he did not realize
the seriousness of his condition. He
was cheerful and conversed with those
about his bedside. When it became
apparent that he would not survive his
illness, the wife and daughter were
notified, and they remained constantly
at his bedside until the distinguished
patient breathed his last. With only
faint hope of saving his life. oxygen
was administered throughout the day.
Mr.. Reed passed away peacefully and
without pain. He was born October 1,
1889. The body was taken to his old
home at Portland, Me-, today. where
the funeral will occur tomorrow.

ULTIMATUM GIVEN
ENGLAND AND GERMANY SEND FINAL
WARNING TO VENEZUELA.
Warships Are Assembling on Her Coasts
After Presenting Ultimatums the
Ministers at Caracas Went on Board
the Warships of Their Respective Ma
tions-Guns Will Talk Next.

London, Dec. 1O.-Great Britain and
Germany have presented ultimatums
to Venezuela, which will be followed
up by the seizure of the customs unless
satisfactory settlement is forthcoming
within brief period. The ultimatums
have time limit, but the exact date
cannot be ascertained here. The for
eign Office states with regard to the
limit:
est is reasonable time in which
Venezuela can satisfy the injured gov
ernments. Both notes are practically
identical, although the amounts of the
claims differ. The notes merely re-
iterate the continued disregard by the
Venezuelan government of all our rep
resentatives, specify their claims and
demand immediate action on the part
of President Castro's government in
connection herewith
The British governments case is
practically identical with the state
ments made in previous dispatches
from London, in which it was fist
announced that the action was con-
The foreign Office says:
"rhere is not the slightest desire to
coerce Venezuela, kand if any answer
had been made to our repeated protests
and demands, no such action as now
taken would have been proceeded with.
1t was the persistent and insulting dis
regard of all representations which
compelled us to move. 1t is now too
late in the day for anything but purely
arrangements for the satis-
faction of our interests. When the
fleets have assembled there is scarcely
time to deal with bankers and a 6nan-
cial settlement, which should have
been suggested long ago and would
have been welcomed by both Germany
and ourselves. However, any bona
ide proposition will receive careful at
tention. Reconstruction in CONNER
cial affairs is always better than liqui-
dation and, if the reconstruction of the
finances can be accom-
plished to the satisfaction of our diplu-
matte claims and individual losses, both
Germany and Great Britain will have
achieved their ends"

Russia Is Dissatisfied.

London, Dec. 10.-A dispatch from
st. Petersburg to the Morning Post
says the Russian government is by no
means satisfied with the Behring sea
award which the Dutch jurist, Professor
Asser, gave in favor of the United
States on November 90. 1t deos not
object to paying the stipulated sum,
but it objects entirely to the principle
of the award whereby Russia is not al
lowed to chase trespassers beyond the
limit of her territorial waters.

Caracas, Dec. 11.-At 4 O'Clock yes

gram from Robert B. Jones, vice con-
sui general at Guayaquil, dated yester-

the death of Consul General Thomas
