Government of France Invited to At

Washington, March 12.-Soon after
the senate convened today bill was
passed authorizing the president to ex-
tend to the government of France and
the family of Marquis de Lafayette an
invitation to join the people of the
United States in the dedication of a
monument to Count de Rochambeau In

speaking in support of the measure.
The House.
When the house met today consider
alton of the postoffice appropriation bill
was resumed. SIMS of Tennessee, re-
viewed the facts in connection with the
enactment of the permanent census
law and asserted the house had been
grossly deceived by the action of the
conferees. 1t had been the intention
of both the house and the senate, he
said, to enact a provision which would
cover all employees of the census bureau
into the classified service and make
them eligible for transfer, but the con-
ferees had substituted a provision
which defeated the object sought to be
obtained. He charged that Hopkins, of
Illinois, who presented the conference
report. had deceived the house, which
action called for the strongest censure
by the house, but as the gentleman was
not present he would not propose ac-
ton along that line.
Griffith, of Indiana, one of the con-
ferees on the bill, called attention to
three decisions of the supreme court
which would have nullified section five
as agreed to by house and senate. I'm
der the circumstances, therefore, he
said 1t was the duty of the conferees to
perfect the section so as to reflect the
legislative will and intent. The con-
ferees thought they We're doing so, and
for himself said it was far from his pur-
pose either to deceive or mislead the
house Sims accepted Griff1th's explain
alton and acquitted him and his coll
leagues of deliberate purpose to de-
ceive, but said the effect had been to
the house.

washington, March 12.-Commander
Seaton Schroeder, United States navy,
has sent to the navy department pc
rition signed by the prominent resi-
dents of Guam, asking the appointment
of a commission for the purpose of
studying the situation and needs of the
people, with view to the establish
meni Of a permanent government on
the island. Commander Schroeder In
his letter says:
"At various times the propriety has
been considered of formulating and de-
creeing a scheme of suffrage, more or
less limited which should convey to the
people a certain measure of power in
the election of officials, in devising
the means for providing money by tax
e.tion and otherwise, and in regulating
expenditures; but leisure time has not
been freely available for proper
study Of so miprotant, a, matter. and I
have been finally restrained from any
such action by the circumstances that
any such measure could be reversed by
a substantial governor, or by higher
authority, and by the belief that a
somewhat unsatisfactory condition is
still better than a succession of
changes
"The same conviction regarding re-
sultant confusion and uncertainty has
deferred me from modifying the exist
ing order fixing the tax on realty,
which is not satisfactory, but which
should not be tampered with except for
permanency.
"Also, the present system of admin
istration of justice composes certain
procedures and modes of revision
which are now impossible; the meth
DDS used are believed to be conducive
to justice, but complete revision is to
be desired"

Notable Career.

Joliet, March 12-Former Governor
John P. Altgeld died at the hotel Mon
roe at 1903 this morning. Altgeld
was the principal speaker at pro-
Boer mass meeting last night. Just
lat the close of his speech sudden diZ-
ziness seized him and he was assisted
from the stage. For an hour after he
had severe vomiting spells, and finally
eral physicians attended him. Alt
geld retained consciousness and urged
the newspaper men to keep the affair
queit for fear of alarming his wife.
Shortly before midnight he became
unconscious. The cause of death is
given as cerebral hemmorhages, there
having been apoplectic seizure of the
brain. 1t was noted during his address
the governor threw an unusual
amount of energy and feeling into hia
words and the collapse. the physicians
think, resulted from overstraining his
already weakened physical powers.
Ever since the failure of the Globe
Savings Bank in 1896. in which he wa3
involved, Altgeld has not been well
man, and for some months after the
Spaulding crash it was feared his life
was only a question of a short time.
When it was learned he was a victim
of locomotor ataxia his friends gave
him up. But he rallied, altho he was
never again his old vigorous self.
Lately, however, the disease marked
him strongly, and quite recently his
appearance caused forebodings and
anxiety. His mind was just as clear
and active as of old, but. tho his spirit
was willing, the flesh was weak.
Clarence Darrow, life long friend
and law partner of the governor
reached here this morning. He said

There will be no postmortem on the

ment of the physicians that he died
from cerebral hemorrhage.s The re-
mains will be embalmed and leave for
Chicago at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
