Behalf of the B0erS-CaUSe OF Death owen
As Cerebral HemOrrhageS

Joliet Ills, March l2-Former Gov
John T.. Altgeld died at the Hotel
Munroe this morning at 1909 o'clock
Mr.. Altgeld was the principal speaker
mt pro. Boer mass meeting last night
In the Joliet theater. AZ che close of
his speech a sudden dizslness selsed
him and he was assisted from the stage
Vomiting spells followed and continued
for nearly an hour The meeting pro-
ceeded the audience NOT realizing what
had happened Physicians were sum
moned and Mr.. Atgeld was carried to
the hotel across the street He re-
tained consciousness and urged the
newspaper men to keep the affair quiet
for fear Of alarming his wife, shortly
before midnight he became uncon-
scious, He remained In this condition
until death. At 3;4l this morning II
was thought he had died but he revived
and from that time until shortly before
the end showed wonderful vitality, al
though he made no move
The medical men here had a banquet
last night, at which DR.. j. b Herrlck,
of the Rush Medical college Of Chica-
go, delivered lecture on heart dis
ease. lie and other physicians were
called from the banquet to attend the
patient They remained with him the
remainder of the night. When the end
came they worked his arms vigorously
to revive respiration, but all to no pur-
pose The cause Of death is given as
cerebral hemOrrhages, there having
been an apoplectlc seizure Of the brain.
The vomiting at first was taken TO
indicate ptomaine poisoning, but IL was
determined this was due TO different
manifestations of the brain trouble,
The physicians desire TO hold a post
norton, If relatives will agree.
Mr. Altgeld came to Joliet yester-
day afternoon having been advertised
as the special orator for the big Wild
county pro- Boer meeting, He COM
fessed that he was not In the best OF
health, having been troubled with some
apparently simple stomach ailment. He
was not willing to allow that TO inter-
fere with his speech however, his great
interest in the South African struggle
having been heightened by the an
nouncement of the Boer success In the
capture OF Gen. Methuen
II was noticed during the address
that the former governor threw an I'M
usual amount Of energy and feeling into
his words and the collapse, the physl-
clans think, resulted from over-strain-
ing his already weakened physical pow
! ers.
Ever since the failure OF the Globe
Savings bank in 1895 IN which he was
involved, Mr.. Altgeld has not been q
well man, and for some months after
the spalding crash It was feared that
his death was only a question Of a short
time. Even when serving his last year
as governor his health was none toe

HOUSE.

Washington, March 12-After trans
action of routine business the house
went into committee Of the whole and
resumed the consideration OF the post
office appropriation bill.
Mr. Sims OF Tennessee, reviewed the
facts in connection with the enactment
of the permanent census law and as
serted that the house had been grossly
deceived by the action OF the con-
ferees. IL had been the intention both
of the house and Of the senate, he said
TO enact a provision TO cover all the
employees Of the census bureau into the
classified service and make them eligi-
BILE for transfer but the conferees had
substituted a provision which defeated
the object sought to be obtained by the
two houses. He charged that Mr., Hop
kins OF Illinois, who presented the con-
ference report had deceived the house
Mr.. Hopkins action, he declared, called
for the strongest censure by the house
but as the gentleman was not present
he would not propose action along that
line.
The Pacific cable discussion was re-
newed in the house today and Mr. Cor
liss OF Michigan made an attack upon
MIR. Richardson Of Alabama, replying
10 the latter's speech few days ago.
He asked why Mr.. Richardson had not
waited until the bill was properly be-
fore the house before rushing TO the de-
Tense OF a telegraph corporation. He
said that his experience was that there
was q motive behind every act and stat
cd that Mr.. Richardson should explain
