sEPT1cAEN1A FH:n CAUSE.
Death of William c. Whitney Re.
 suited Therefron,

New York. Feb. 3.-Septicaemia was the immediate cause of the death of Wila liam C. Whitney, who passed away Tues l day evening.
 A semi-official account of his last hours is to the effect that the toxin which pro- duced peritonitis following the operation for appendicitis gradually spread thorugh | the tissues of the body until it reached the brain cells, when there was paralysis and death.
 The physicians had concluded to open the superficial wound and examine the area from which the pus was absorbed by the drain inserted after the operation. It was impossible to make this examina- tion without putting the patient under the influence of an anaesthetic on account of the great pain. Ether was administered the wound was opened and the lower part examined. Before the examination was concluded. 1t was noticed that Mir. Whitney was sinking. The administration of ether was immediately stopped, but before its effects could wear off he was dead.
 Payne Whitney. the second son and his wife, daughter of Secretary of State Hay arrived from Georgia few hours too late.
 Mrs. AImeric Hugh Paget. the eldest daughter, who has been living for sever- al years in London, is reported to have sailed and it Is said the family will, IF possible, delay the funeral until she ar- rives.
 Much interest is attached to the effect of Mr. Whitney's death upon turf inter- ests. which were to have been wider the coming season than ever.
 Under rule 61 of the rules of racinA all his entries for this years stakes eX> cept the Produce stakes and events to which foal nominations were made, are null and void, unless a transfer of the same was made at the last moment. lt not, it is said that 9S per cent. of the entries made by Mir. Whitney will be thrown out, thereby greatly depreciating inc value of the many thoroughbreds heavily engaged. As to the disposition of the stable, nobody in authority will talk. -,

Whitney will take nIace on Friday morning at 10 o'clock at Grace Church Admission to the church will he by card. as the capacity of the building is limited. The interment will be at Woodlawn cemetery for which spe- ciaI train will leave the Grand Central station after the services at the church.

AGAINST REORGANIzATION

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 3.--William Jen- nings Bryan spoke tonight by inyitation of the Kentucky Legislature to a crowd that filled the Capitol Theatre, while many were turned away.
 Both bodies of the General Assembly ad- Journed today and held memorial services in honor of William Goebel in the hall of the House of Representatives. Mr Bryan and several members of the LegS islature made eulogistic addresses and an original poem was read. Religious ser~ vices at the grave were conducted by Drs Arnold.
 MT. Bryan was introduced tonight by Governor Beckham, who in presentins him said that though twice defeated. he was the best loved citizen in public life.
 Bryan. Well Received.
 MT. Bryan was warmly received. Be- fore MT. Bryan spoke the lights were turned out for an instant, and as they returned life size picture of Williams Goenel came into view, which was .cheered.
 MT. Bryan, in his address compared Henry Watterson. the Louisville editor, to the Greek character ip Quo vadis'' who after a life of crime} repented and said 'T, too. am a Christian" He said he hoped Watterson would yet repent and be a Democrat.
 Referring to Governor GoebeI Mir. Bry- an said his murder was incompassed by corporate influences that had determined he should never ba Governor, He said the man who wrote Goebel he should f1ev- CT be Governor is alive and his name is mentioned now in connection with the Chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee.
 Reference to Cleveland.
 He devoted some time to Grover Cleves land, saying President McKinleys indfct- nlent of Mir. Cleveland In which he said Mir. Cleveland made money the master of man. he believed was correctly drawn.
 Mir. Bryan said he did not want d rear* sartzafiou of the Democratic party be- casise he did not want the party to rake the chance of falling into the hands of the money power. CommefciaIism in poll itics was the greatest menace to the e0un- try. He said he heard of one precinct in Delaware where all the votes were bought and one auctioned off brought $50.
 He said the money question was no more dead now than it was in 1886. and discussed at length trusts and monopoiies that he said are being fostered under the Republican policy. He also scored Presi- dent Roosevelt's policy toward Cuba and on the Panama question.

 Possibilities.

Paris. Feb. 1.-The Revue Russo says it has just received authoritative informa- ton showing that Russia Is resolutely maintaining a pacific policy and that in the note about to be transmitted to Japan she has made all the concessions com patible with dignity.
 Russia will declare therein, the paper continues, that her interests in connec- ton with the railroads are too great for her not to insist upon occupying posi- tion which will enable her to protect this costly enterprise. but she recognizes also the right of Japan to develop, extend and create outlets in Manchuria as well as in Korea.
 The contents of the Russian note, the Revue Russo ayers. are known in TokIo. where they have created a most favorable impression

Democratic Leader Says the South Has Contended in Statemanship, Literature and War and --.. shown Its Powers.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,

Washington, Feb. 8.
 Not in 6 dozen years, certainly not since the existing times of the Ffty-frst Con- gress, when Tom Reed as Speaker re- peatedly incensed the Democrats by his tyrannies, has the blood of tho House members been stirred to such heat as to- day in the debate over the extradition question which involved the assassination of Goebel of Kentucky.
 Oliver James, a new member from ken- lucky. a giant in statue with voice ito match, hundred voicing of the indigna- ton of the people of the Blue Grass State at the sheltering from punishment by the Governor of Indiana of Taylor, charged with the murder of Goebel and fugitive from justice.
 Crumpacker, of all Republicans the most conspicious survival of partisan bit- terness and sectional hatred that retarded the reconciliation of North and South twenty-five years ago. replying to James. assailed the character and good name of all Kentucky.
 His speech effectually aroused the Kentucky members who pitched into him from all sides. He was driven to 'ad- init that the action of Governors Mount and Durbin, as well as his own charges against the people of Kentucky. were based upon partisan opinion and not upon evidence. Crumpacker was well worsted in debate and sat stiil even under the declaration by Minority Leader Williams that his speech was a disgrace to civilization" ~.-. .,.
 The voice of the Mississippian was vibrant with scarcely suppressed passion as he lashed with scaldlng scorn the nar- row partlsanship that would make of punishment of a foul assassination poli- tical issue. !
 Referring to the criticism of. the. people on this side of the Ohio River by Athose on the" other siae, Mr.. Wiliiaua with flushed face and blakiEk eNes. decEared he was tired .of this assumption of supe- riority In, all things by those who dweIt north of an imaginary. line.
 Facing the mass of Northern Republi- cans, among whom sat Crumpacker, he said, speaking for those who dwelt south of the line, they, have met you in poIi- tics. in law, in literature, and in states manship; they have met you in battle, and they have proved themselves your equals if not your superior"
 The speech of Mir. Williams. impromptu as it was. is pronounced the best he has made since he assumed the leadership. Usually unimpassioned, while forcible and trenchant. he was today on fire with eloquence. Many of those who heard his short speech, hardly more than ten minutes long, say that 1t has been many years since so fine q piece of improptu oratory electrified the House.
