Recovered From First, but Second
Spell Proved Fatal.
Manchester, Mass, Aug. Ex-senator
Mcmillan was in mis- usual good health.
up to yesterday afternoon. For sew
eraI years. however he had suffered
from heart affection, principally a
weakness brought on by overwork, and
had guarded himself against 1t, but
the extra responsibilities in the SEN
ate thrown upon him last winter. to-
gether with the shock of losing
brother. son and grandson within one
year, are believed to have aggravated
his trouble. He was at the Essex
County Club yesterday afternoon, and
while playing golf was obliged to pass
over a small hill, which so affected
his breathing that he was obliged to
stop, and, being overcome by slight
faintness, he sent for a stimu
liant, which revived him, and
the attack passed away. He
went home without finishing the
the game, and at dinner time was very
jovial and light-hearted. He remained
up quite late in the evening, talking
and joking with the family, but at
midnight suffered severe i'll turn, be-
ing pressed for breath and experience
ing considerable pain. A physician was
called, who administered the usual
heart tonics which had the desired eff
feet. and the patient rested comforta-
bly, until 3 o'clock. when another at
tack came on, more severe than the
first. The physician applied by hypo-
cermic injections the most powerful
heart stimulants known to medical
science, but the drugs had no effect
whatever and the senator continued
to sink until, he lost consciousness, ten
minutes before his death. Another
physician was sent for after the sec
ond attack, but did not arrive until
just after the senator had passed
away There were around the death
bed Mrs. Mcmillan, their daughter
Amy and granddaughter, Miss
Jarvis.
The funeral arrangements have not
been perfected, but the services will
take place from the senator's late
home in Detroit and the interment
will be in the family lot in that city.

TO PUT PRESIDENT TO TEST.
Cuba Will Appeal for Extrn Session

Upon Reciprocity Treaty.


of the senate in September to Pass
Upon Reciprocity Treaty.
Washington. Aug. 10.-An extra ses-
sion of the Senate in September to
consider a reciprocity treaty with Gu
ba is now considered among the prob
abilities. The New York Herald s
Washington correspondent makes the
following announcements
Cuba is about to make a new appeal
to the United States-an appeal that
is likely to put the administration to
me supreme test.
President Roosevelt will be asked by
President Palma's government wheth-
er if Cuba will sign a reciprocity treaty
with the United States at this time,
the President will call an extra ses-
sion of the Senate in September to
have that body consider the treaty.
Il may be that this question has al
ready been put to the President. The
visit of Senator o. III. Platt Of Con-
necticus, chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Relations with Cuba, to Sag
amore Hill yesterday, would indicate
that this great and vexatious question
was once more occupying a portion of
Mr.. Roosevelts attention.
1t is not known whether the matter
has got so far that the President can
take advice upon it from senator's but
it is known that the appeal is coming.
1t is also known that President Palma
is beset with difficulties of a strange
character in maintaining a government
in Cuba; that these difficulties are due
entirely to the failure of the Senate to
keep the pledged word of the McI<in-
ley administration with Cuba regard
ing the passage of a reciprocity bill
that a proposed treaty between the
United States and Cuba is in such
shape that 1t could be signed in "A very
short time, and that the Cuban gov

ratified at an early day, would be will.

morning at his summer home at Man
chesterb y-the-Sea, Mass. Death was
the result of heart failure, following

ton May 81, 1888. but early in life re-
moved to Michigan and for many years
has been prominently identified with
the business interests and political life
of that state. having for a number of
terms been chairman of the Republic
can State Committee. He has been
member Of the United States Senate
since March 4, 1889. He was chairman
of the committee of the District of Co
lumbia in that body and was identi
fled with district affairs and became
well known to the citizens of Wash
ington.
If the family desire it a congression-
al committee from both Houses of
Congress will be appointed to accom-
pany the remains to their last resting
| place. The designations will be made

rushed up the main stairway, kicking
in doors, and calling out at the top Of

aroused by this means and by the
discharge of fire arms. There were rs
people in the house and all of them
got out safely with the exception of
those named and three others who

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 10.-Heavy
rains fell here to-day, making things
disagreeable for the troops in camp
on the hill outside of Shenandoah. De-
spite the inclement weather, however,
there was a large number of visitors
in camp from the surrounding towns.
None of the soldiers left the camp eX-
cept the two companies that are on
provost guard duty at the two all
road stations in the town proper. 1t
was estimated to-day that the total
cost to the state for transporting and
maintaining the troops for the first
ten days they have been in the field
was $4,000. This includes the pay of
officers and men and cost of ammu-
milton.
Brig. Gen. Goblin remained at head

ceived no information of impending
trouble anywhere. and knew nothing
OF any attempt to start collieries.

way connected with lhe fatal riot

Quarter.
New York, Aug. 1O.-Petro Guardina,
a Neapolitan fish dealer of Brooklyn,
was murdered by a Sicilian, Antonio
Zirotoli. in Mulberry Bend, to-day
Zirotoli is 50 years. old but he welded
a knife, which his wife handed to him,
with force sufficient to sever Guardi-
mas Jugular. The Neapolitan's wife
and two children, shis brother and sew
eral other relatives were with him
when he was murdered and in a frenzy
of grief they knelt beside the body and
bather their faces with the blood that
flower from the wound. The stabbing
was the outcome of a street alter
cation of which Zirotoli was merely a
spectator at first. The old man became
enraged as the fight proceeded and
suddenly running forward plunged a
knife into Guardinas neck. Within a
very few minutes a thousand Italians,
aroused by the frantic actions of the
murdered mans relatives, were rioting
amongst themselves and the reserves
of two police stations were called out
Before the arrest of Zirotoli was made
and the riot quelled two detectives and

Washington, Aug. 10-Orders have
been issued by the Navy Department
for visit of the United States steam
ship Adams to Wake Island and the
Midway Islands, belonging to the
United States, in the Pacific ocean,
This action has been determined upon
as a result of a recent communication
received at the department from the
master of the transport Buford who
reported that while approaching Wake
Island in June last he discovered 1t
inhabited by a party of Japanese.
While the steamship Nero was max
ing a survey of the Pacific for a trans
Pacific cable in 1899 she discovered the
Midway Islands were also inhabited
by JapeneSe, which was somewhat sur
prising, as the islands always have
belonged to this government. The Adj
ans will be in charge of Commander
Charles f.. Cox. who will make an
investigation of the circumstances
connected with the case of both Wake
Island and the Midway Islands, and
If it is ascertained that the japanese
have settled in those islands with the
sanction of their government, with
view of laying the basis for a claim
of sovereignty over Them representa-
tons will be made to Japan on the
subject for the purpose of securing
their removal. The Adams will also
touch at the Sandwich Islands and
visit each one of the group.

THE FRIARS NOT HATED.

Augustinian Order Now En- Route
to United States.
Rome, Aug. 10.-Thomas Rodriguez,
of the whole order, which is very
powerful at Rome, will leave here to-
morrow for Naples, where he will
board the steamship Liguria, sailing
next Wednesday for New York. Faith
er Rodriguez will pay his first visit
to the United States.
Nothing can be DONE" said Father
Rodriguez, while the negotiations are
still pending between the Holy See
and the United States. Whoever is
that while Washington cannot or will
not expel the friars from the Philip
pine Archipelago, it should require
this to be done by the Vatican, whose
principal duty and interest is to pro-
tect the friars, both materially and
morally.
THE truth is that the friars are not
hated by majority of the FilipinOs
but only by that faction which wanted
to get rid of them in order to be left
without curb or law This l verified
myself when, in 1896, 1 visited the ISL
ards from end to end, and l have had
confirmation of this statement in re-
cent reports, which say that friars
have been called again to parishes out
side of Manila, which they left after
the revolution of 1898, this being partly
due to their excellent work in the pres
emf cholera ScOurge"

beyond Wall Creek at $50 o'clock this
morning, caused by local northbound
passenger train colliding with a south
bound freight train. Two men were
killed outright and several others seri-
ously wounded. The two engines and
several cars were demolished, the de-
bris being strewn for some distance
down the track. A special relief train
was hurried to the scene with
physicians, the injured being
brought to this city and placed in a

to be a former employe of the cotton
mills, whose name has not been as

almost beyond recognition. The en-
gineers and firemen and postal clerks
jumped and all of them were more or
less bruised. BY noon the tracks were
sufficiently cleared to allow trains to
pass.
Bernard Carter, John and oscar
Skinnett of Lynchburg were painfully
hurt. None of the passengers were
among the seriously injured.

FOURTEENTH WEEK OF STRIKE
and Miners Settled Down for IL
Lengthy Siege.

Lengthy Siege.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 10.-The four
teenth week of the anthracite miners
strike begins tomorrow. President
Mitchell is authority for the state
ment made to-day that the strikers
are in good shape. Contributions TO
the relief fund are coming in from
many quarters now, and the dissatis-
faction which was first evinced over
the distribution has now disappeared,
and the strikers have settled down to
what they believe is going to be
much longer siege than was first an
ticipated.
While the strike leaders are inclined
to throw cold water on all reports
that an attempt may be made to re-
sumo mining at an early day in the
Wyoming region, it would not be at
all surprising should one or two of
the mines in this section be started
up this week.
A general review of the whole strike
region shows that unless the opera
tors can break the ranks of the strik-
ers by starting up a colliery here and
there, the men will be in condition to
remain out for some time yet.

opposes the movement and will repudi-

decline his appointment.
Opinion here as to the growth and
effect of this movement is divided. In

Private Estate of the Sovereign.
The King states That He Expects
to spend a Considerable Part OF
the Year at the Capital and at
windsor, and as He Also Has
strong Ties at Norfolk He Would
Have Little Time for Use of Os-
borne House.
London, Aug. 10.-king Edward has
signalized his coronation in a mem
orable manner by the munificent gift
10 the nation of Osborne House, one
of the favorite residences of the late
Queen Victoria.
The gift is made in the following
message to his people, addressed to
Prime Minister Balfour. For reasons
apparent in the document itself, mis-
majesty makes his intention public:
Buckingham Palace, Corona ton
Kings much beloved mother the Os-
borne House estate is, as Mr.. Balfour
IS aware, the private estate of the
sovereign. Having to spend con-
siderable part of the year in the cap
ital of this kingdom, and in its neigh
borhood, at Windsor, and having also
strong home ties in the county of
Norfolk, which have existed now for
nearly forty years. the King feels he
will be unable to make adequate use
of Osborne House as royal resi-
dence, and he, accordingly. has de-
termined to offer the property in the
Isle of Wright as gift to the
nation. AS Osborne House is sacred
to the memory of the late Queen, it is
the wish of the King that with the ex-
ception of those apartments which
were in the personal occupation of Her
Majesty, his people shall always have
access to the house which must ever
be associated with her beloved name
AS regards the rest of the building the
King hopes it may be devoted to ma
tional purposes and be converted into
a convalescent home for officers of the
navy and army whose health has been
impaired in rendering service to their
country.
IF, in order to give full legal effect to
the Kings wishes, it is found that ap-
plication to Parliament be necessary,
the King trusts that Mr.. .Balfour will
see that the necessary steps are in due
course taken"
