several months and contesting the

the challenge and Fry accepted. The
terms were that they should fight with
navy pistols at twenty yards apart,
deliberately walking toward each

OF their pistols was discharged, unless
one or the other fell before all the dis

Madrid, Jan. 6.-Former Premier

At half-past 6 he had an attack of
heart failure and it was then thought
he was dead; he rallied, however, and
lived for four hours and half. His
funeral will probably take place next

was due to bronchitis and gastric
trouble. His family was at the death
bed and former Liberal members OF
the cabinet were near their old lead

sacrament yesterday afternoon.
Senior Sagasta's intellect was unim-
paired until his last hours. He talked
to his daughter, the presidents of the
senate and congress and to the arch
bishop of Toledo. King Alfonso has
written letter of sympathy to Senior
Sagastas family. During the former
premiers illness the queen mother
and other members of the royal fam
lily frequently sent officials to inquire
as to his progress.
The news of the former premier's
death created a painful impression
throughout Madrid. King Alfonso ex-
pressed profound regret.
