Noted Naval Commander Dies
at his Home in Washington.
PARALYSIS OF THE BRAIN
His Death Had Been For More Than
Year Only Question
OF Time.

WASHINGTON, May Death,
which came at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, ended the suffering of
Rear Admiral William Thomas
Sampson, United States Navy,
who commanded the American
feet in the West Indies in the
war with SPAN. Admiral Samp-
son died at his residence at the
corner of New Hampshire avenue
and Corcoran street, where he
and his family had lived ever
since his detachment in October,
1901, from duty as commandant
of the Boston navy yard. The
immediate cause of death was a
cerebral hemorrhage at II o'clock
yesterday morning. Paralysis
of the brain was simultaneous
with the final attack, and the
stricken officer remained totally
unconscious until the end. six
hours later.
For nearly year it has been
known to Admiral SIMPSONS
physicians and family that his
death was a question of a com
paritlvely brief time. Before
then, however. he had been IN
poor health, and while he was
able to perform in some measure
the duties of his position at the
Boston yards, those close to him
began to suspect that his mind
was giving way.
The first real knowledge that
Admiral Simpsons health was
failing came to the officials of the
navy department in the fall of
1900, when he made a trip here
to see President Mckinley and
Secretary Long in behalf of a
SON. -in-law. who was an applicant
for a commission in the marine
corps. He became so i'll in Sec
retary Longs Office that medical
attendance was required and Mr..
Long sent him back to Boston in
the care of a naval surgeon. The
illness which finally resulted in
his death may be said to have
dated from that time.
According to the medical dag
nosis, Admiral Simpsons trouble
was softening of the brain, with
degeneration of the arterial sys-
tenn, and these were accompanied
by extreme physical weakness.
On last Sunday he was able to
take short walk, but on return
ing to his residence was attacked
by slight hemorrhage of the
brain which produced partial un.
consciousness.
Since the attack of Sunday he
remained IN comatose condition
gradually growing weaker from
occurrences of the hemorrhages
until the severe attack came
Tuesday.
Admiral William Thomas
Sampson was born in Palmyra,
N. Y. in the winter of 1910.
His father was laborer of old
Presbyterian stock, and young
Sampson veritably began life at
the foot of the ladder. To his
n other Sampson may ascribe the
fact that he received an educa-
ton. His father was not partial
to learning, but his mother was
ambitious to educate those of her
large family who showed taste
in that direction.

AS Mr.. HANNA SEES 1T
Situatien Is Very Delicate, but He Hopes
Adjudication.

PHILADELPHIA. May ) Dis
trict President T, D. Nichos. of
United mine workers, returned
Saturday night from the New
York conferences with the coal
operators. Like all others who
attended the conference. he was
not inclined TO talk at any con-
siderable length on what was
done. On only two things would
he permit himself to be quoted.
One was that the heads of the
coai companies accorded the
miners representatives a full
and patient hearing. and the
other that nothing was accom-
plished save that they were told
that they could come again at
any time and be heard, without
any stipulations being made as
to the capacity in which they
might come.
Senator Hanna. in an interview
yesterday with reporter for tbs
Associated Press. characterized
the situation IN the anthracite
coal region as extremely delicate,
and for that reason said it would
be unwise for him to express an
opinion as to the probable result
of the meeting of the executive
committee of the United mine
workers for the three anthracite
districts called for next WedneS
day at Scranton, Pa. by Nation
al President John Mitchell. Sen
ator Hanna said he was officially
notified today by Ralph NJ. Eas-
ley, secretary of the National
civic federation, of the statement
issued by President Mitchell. in
New York.
The work of the conciliation
committee was ended, said the
senator, when it brought togeth-
er the operators and the mem
bers of the miners union. and
he added that nothing more could
be doue unless tn re were some
new developments.
I want to emphasize the
fact" continued Senator Hanna.
that the conferences between the
operators and miners were salts
factory, Three conferences
were held and the proceedings
were conducted in the best spirit.
l think the operators formed a
favorable impression of Mr.
Mitchell, and gave him credit
for honesty and sincerity in his
efforts to change the conditions
of the miners: On the other
hand Mr.. Mitchell appreciated
the consideration shown him and
the interests he represents.
Unless a bitter and protract-
ed strike should occur, believe
much good will come out of the
conference, I am of opinion that
they will lead to better conditions
between capital and labor.
Il am in favor of meetings be-
tween employer and employees to
consider differences. l want
the people to thoroughly under
stand the position of the Civic
Federation. 1t can do only two
things: Exert its influence tc
prevent strike, or arbitrate
when rupture has occurred, at
the request of both parties to the
dispute. In this case the Civic
Federation has done all within
its power. 1t brought together,
through its concilliation COM
mittee, the representatives of the
Miners Union and the operators.

Most of our readers know all about
the aches and pains of bad back;
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the body and
"go wrong" at times no matter how
well the general health. may be.
The trouble is so few understand the
indications of kidney trouble. You
are nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and witches of back
ache pains, but lay it to other causes;
finally.the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-
ton of the urine, too frequent urina-
ton, makes you realize the serious
ness of it. At any stage you should
take a remedy that will not only re-
lieve but cure you. Read the following
and profit by the lesson it teaches:
C. j. McMurray, a resident of Free
port, ILL.,, address AZ Iroquois St., says:
81 have greater faith in Doan's Kidney
Pills to-day than l had in the fall of
1897 when first took that remedy and
it cured me of an acute pain across
the back and imperfect action of the
kidneys. Since l made n public state
ment of these facts and recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills to my friends and
acquaintances, thoroughly believing
as I did both from observation and ex-
perience that they would do just as
they were represented to do. I am
still pleased to reendorse my state
mcnt given to the public shortly after
I first began to use the remedy"

WILL IMPORT COAL.
Morgan to Bring $4,000 Tons from
Wales-Prospects of the De-
troit Conference.

New York, Oct. Cd. Pierpont Nor
Mercantile Marine company, the ship
ping combination, has decided to pur-
chase $4,000 tons of coal in Wales and
ship it to this city as rapidly as posi-
bic for distribution to the poor and
public institutions. If more coal is
needed to relieve the famine that will
result if the strike is continued, Mr..
Morgan will bring it from Wales. News
of the Morgan gift was given out in
statement issued Saturday afternoon
at the Morgan banking house by Mr..
Steele, one of Mr. Morgan's pa1 tners.
From the statement it would appear
that the International Mercantile Ma
rine company is the donor of the coal,
but there is no doubt that Mr.. Morgan
personally is going to the expense of
perhaps 100000 to relieve the coal sit
uation.
While all who heard of the project
agreed that the coal, which should ar
rive here before the very cold weather
sets in, would avert much distress,
there were many in the financial dis
trict, as well as in other parts of the
city, who wondered what had prompt
ed Mr.. Morgan to do this. In some cir
cles it is believed to be slap at the
presidents of the coal roads, who have
so obstinately refused to consider any
terms for the settlement of the strike
save unconditional surrender on the
part of the miners. On the other hand
it is believed that Mr.. Morgan is sup
porting the mine operators in their
stand, and that his distribution of coal
to the poor and to public institutions,
such as hospitals and schools, is really
a clever coup to disarm in measure
public opposition.
Detroit, Mich, Oct. 6.-The confer
ence on the coal question to be held
Thursday will, it is hoped, be produc
tive Of good results. No definite
plan for the settlement of the strike
Will be submitted for consideration
OF the conveAtion by local promoters.
1t is expected that among the dele
gates will be some very able men,
and that by an interchange of opin-
ions some practicable and effective
scheme will be worked out. 1t is
believed. too, that the convention, by
it's capitalization of public senti-
ment, cannot fail to have an import
ant effect quite apart from the def
mite practical plan of procedure that
it is believed will be evolved
1t is probable the convention will
declare in favor of a special session
of congress to enact legislation pro-
viding a detailed plan for the govern
ment taking possession of and oper-
ating the mines under the principle
of eminent domain, if the miners and
operators do not speedily get togeth-
er on terms of settlement.
1t IS expected that at least 1000
delegates will be in attendance. Up
to the present about so cities have
promised to send delegates, and the
replies from the governors of five
states Michigan, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Indiana and MinnesOta-have
also been favorable.

Strain of Coal Conference Tells on

Business for n Week.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Secretary Cor
telyou, upon being asked as to condi-
ton of the president, said the confer
ence held Friday was a severe strain
upon the president. While in the judg-
ment of his physicians his progress to-
ward recovery has been satisfactory
and continuous, they feel that to avoid
the risk of a setback he should be re-
lieved of any undue tax upon his
strength. Therefore for the next
week or ten days only such matters will
be brought to his attention as it may
be imperatively necessary for him to
consider.
