DUPUY DE LONE DIES
SUDDENLY IN PARIS
Event Recalls Distressing Episode of
the Spanish American Tension

PARIS, July 2-Senor Dupuy de
LONE, who was Spanish minister at
Washington prior to the outbreak of
the war between the United States and
Spain, died here last night from cere-
bral hemorrhage. He arrived here two
days ago from Rome, where he held the
post of ambassador to the Quirinal.
Sonora De LONE accompanied him.
The ambassador had been suffering for
some time.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July Min
lister De Lome's career in the United
States was marked by one of the most
sensational incidents in the history of
American diplomacy. This was the De
LONE letter episode of February, 1898,
in the heat of the Cuban excitement,
and barely three months before the
outbreak of the Spanish war. The let
ter was personal one to Senior Don
Jose Canalejas, containing very depre-
catory utterances about President Nc
Kinley. De Lome's letter WAS inter-
cepted by the Cuban junta and pub
hshed throughout the country
Secretary of State Day confronted
the diplomat with the letter. De LONE
admitted its authenticity and resigned
before this government could demand
his recall.

BALFOUR DOESN'T
INTEND TO RESIGN
Will Try to Remain in Office
Till Certain Bills Are
Passed

LONDON, July 2.-It is nine years
ago today since the Conservatives en-
tered on their long lease of office. In
spite of incessant attacks on the gov
eminent in parliament during the past
week and the difficulty of maintaining
anything like normal majorities, there
is no reason to believe that Premier
Balfour has any. present intention of
rendering his resignation. nor have the
Liberal leaders at this moment any real
desire to attempt to force him to take
this step. Mr.. Balfour recognizes that
it is not in accord with strict .parlia-
mentary principles to transact the ma
tons business by means of the closure,
as he proposes doing for the remainder
of the session. But the premier point
ed out in the house of commons yester-
day that in view of the persistent OBJ
structive tactics of the opposition to
all the governments main legislation
there was no other course open to him.
Mr.. Balfour desires to remain in
power at least until important pending
!; questions are settled, such as Tibet
and the Russo-JapaneSe war, and he
also is determined to carry through the
larger domestic legislation promised in
the kings speech, for instance the
alien bill and the bill to compensate
owners of saloons for deprivation of
their licenses when the government re-
duces the number of such houses. The
government is not seeking to curtail
the session of parliament and does not
expect an adjournment until late in
August.
The attitude of the Liberal leaders
in the house of commons in desiring
the retention of Mr.. Balfour in power
grows out of their opposition to Lord
Spencer, the Liberal leader in the house
of lords, who, in case the government
resigns. would naturally be selected to
be the new premier. Moreover, they
do not wish at the present time to un-
dertake the management of some of
the questions now pending.

SAVED BY UMBRELLA
searchforltRelesses Girl Lock-
ed in Vault

HARTFORD, Conn, July 2.-There is a
young lady in the city hall who is think
ing of making an umbrella feature of
her family coat of arms if that device
is ever gotten up. The umbrella has been
useful to her all her life, but never so
useful as one day last week, when it may
have saved her life.
May have is the proper expression, for
no one knows that some one or something
else would not have interfered to prevent
tragedy, but certain it is that search for
an umbrella was the cause of her being re-
leased from a locked steel vault from
which she could not possibly have escaped
unaided, and in which she would not have
been able to survive the night.
1t was o'clock of a busy day in the
street boards Office, and the young man
who usually attends to closing the safe
shut the big steel door, threw the bolt and
prepared for departure. Clerk Nevers was
through With his work, and also got ready
for going home. He missed one of the two
young women employed in the office, and
remembers noticing her cloak and hat
hanging On the wall, but thought nothing
of 1t, believing her to be somewhere about
the building. She was, but he little i'm
agined just where.

nigh a minus quantity at the city hall; at
any rate. one would think so when told

his wits by what, confronted him. 1t was
the missing young woman. and she had
been at the door some ten minutes try
ing to signs.l some one of her precarious
situation.

Love on the Phone

The manager of the big department
store stood stock still outside the little
boxlike chamber which held the tele-
phone of the establishment, for he was
a startled manager indeed. Within the
chamber he could hear Miss Jones, the
typewriter speaking, and this is a scrap
of the conversation the scandalized man
overheard:
Il love you, dear, and only you! I'm
weeping my heart awayi Yes, my dar-
ling, speak to me once morei love you,
dear-I love YOU SOP
The young woman rang off and stepped
out of the cabinet to confront the angry
manager.

has been fixed where it is for the pur-
pose of convenience in conducting BUSH
ness. and not for love making in Office
hours. I am surprised at you. Don't let
1t occur again.

glance. Il was ordering some new songs

General James B. Weaver, leader of
