CAREER ENDED BY DEATH.
Hemorrhage Following Pulling of
Teeth Causes Demise of Senator
Mitchell, of Oregon.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 9.-United
States Senator John H. Mitchell died
at the Good Samaritan hospital, in this
city, at IL: 40 o'clock Friday afternoon,
death resulting from complications
which followed the removal of four
teeth at a dental Office Thursday
morning. A hemorrhage of unusual
severity followed the removal of the
teeth and, despite the application of
the most powerful styptics known to
dental science, the flow of blood could
not be stayed. Physicians were sum-
moned to the dental Office, but the
combined scientific knowledge of the
dentists and physicians could not stop
the flow of blood. The senator's con-
dition soon became alarming and he
was removed to the hospital where
four physicians attempted to stop the
flow of blood, but with little success.
Senator Mitchell had long been a suf-
ferer from diabetes and other vitiating
diseases and, in his weakened physical
condition, rapidly succumbed to in
evitable weakness following such vio-
lent hemorrhages and lapsed into
state of semi-consciousness early in
the evening from which he never re-
covered.

IN CONGRESS.
Brief Synopsis Of the Proceedings in
the Senate and House-Rate
Measure introduced.

Washington, Dec. THE Esch-
Townsend railroad rate bill, which
passed the house at it's last session,
has been redrawn and was reintro-
duced in the house Wednesday by Mr..
Townsend. The bill embraces all of
the features of the former measure. In
addition it has publicity feature and
gives the commission jurisdiction over
refrigeration and terminal charges.
It also directly prohibits the carrier
from granting any shipper the priv
ilege of collecting his product and
then getting special rate under the
short-term provision for changing
rates. AS explained by Mr.. Townsend,
the bill expresses the ideas of the
president in his message and will, If
enacted into law, amend the interstate
commerce law so as to make it more
effectual in securing exact justice be-
tween the carriers, shippers, produc-
ers and consumers" The house spent
the greater portion of the session in
consideration of the bill to appropriate
$16,500,0OO for Panama canal work.
The session of the senate was of
only little more than two hours dura-
tion, but in that time several hundred
hills and resolutions were introduced
and referred to committees. There
were resolutions dealing with the
question of the national regulatitn of
insurance companies, the incorpora-
tion of interstate railroad companies,
and the contribution of funds to po-
litical parties by national banks.
Washington, Dec. San appropria-
ton of $11,000,000 was voted Thursday
toward the construction of the Pana-
ma canal.
A resolution directing the secretary
of the treasury to report whether the
reports of the national examiners show
that the banks have made campaign
contributions in recent years was
adopted in the senate Thursday.
Washington, Dec. 12.-Speaker Can
non announced the committees of the
Fifty-ninth congress Monday. The fol-
lowing are the chairmen of some OF
the more important committees. Ways

With spirited debates on the sub
jects of railroad rate Legislation, aris-
ing through the introduction of bill
by Senator Tillman to authorize the
interstate commerce commission to fix
maximum rates, and the Panama canal,
due to a controversy over the reference
of the emergency appropriation bill to
a committee, Mondays session of the
senate continuously proved interesting
for more than four hours.

st. Petersburg, Saturday evening,
Dec. 9.-Another crisis is at hand in
volving the indefinite prolongation of
the strike, the probable immediate
precipitation of general strike
throughout Russia and a possible final
struggle between the government and
the proletariat. This sudden change
for the worse is the result of the she'd
ding of the first blood in the telegraph
ic strike this afternoon almost stimuli
taneously with the action of NJ Dur
novo, minister of the interior, in
throwing down the gauntlet to the la
Dor organizations by .arresting M.
Krustaleff, president of the executive
committee of the workmen's council,
without warning.
A disturbance in which two strikers
were killed and a policeman and sew
eral others wounded occurred at the
same hour Immediately in front of the
general post Office. The strikers for
two days have been seeking to per-
suade the volunteer and regular car
riers to refuse to work. At the door
of the building to-day the strikers, en-
ragged by the refusal oil the volunteers
to quit, drew knives, whereupon car
rier attempted to defend himself with
a revolver. Both the carrier and a
companion were killed on the spot

men, East Prussia, Dec. 1.-The situa-
ton in Livonia is frightful. Absolute
anarchy prevails. A messenger boy
who has arrived here declared that the
streets of Riga were flowing with
blood. After a meeting the railroad
men of Riga were moved down by the
fire of machine guns and artillery.

signed Thursday on the demand of
Gov. Hanly, as the result of an inves-

the murder of his wife and five chill
dren a week ago, was sentenced to

Although Japan has revealed herself
as highly enlightened in so many
spheres Of civilization, she has not yet
applied reformatory principles to the
institution Of marriage. There is as
yet no such thing in Japan as equality

KING APPROVES
THE new Cabinet
SIR HENRY CAMPBELL-BANNER-
MAN, AS PRIME MINISTER,
ANNOUNCES THE LIST.
Cabinet Contains a Preponderance of
Members Favorable to Home Rule
John Burns, Labor Member of
Parliament Honored with a Place.

London, Dec. 11.---Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bsnnerman drove to the palace at
six O'Clock Sunday evening and had
an audience with King Edward OF
about 20 minutes, ana at which his
majesty signified his approval of the
new government. It is officially an
nounced that the new British minis
try is made up as follows:
Prime minister and first lord of the
treasury, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man; chancellor of the exchequer,
Herbert Henry Asquith; secretary OF
state for home affairs, Herbert John
Gladstone; secretary of state for for
eign affairs, Sir Edward Grey; secre-
tary of state for the colonies, the earl
of Elgin; secretary of state for war,
Richard Burden Haldane; secretary
of state for India, John Morley; first
lord of the admiralty, Baron Tweed
mouth; president of the board of
trade, David Lloyd-George; president
of the local government board, John
Burns; secretary of state for Scot
land, John Sinclair; president of the
board of agriculture, Earl Darlington;
postmaster general, Sydney Burton;
chief secretary for Ireland, James
Bryce; lord president of the council,
the earl of Crewe; lord of the privy
seal, the marquis of Ripon; president
of the board of education, Augustine
Birrell;. chancellor of the duchy of
Lancaster, Sir Henry Hartley Fowler.
The foregoing constitute the cabinet
The following ministers are not in the
cabinet: ~
Lord lieutenant Of Ireland, the earl
of Aberdeen; lord chancellor of Ire
land, RI Hon. Samuel Walker.
The conservative morning newspa-
pers are compelled to admit that Sir
Henry ampbell-Bannerman has sue
ceeded in forming much stronger ad-
ministration than had been thought
possible. The liberal papers are full OF
enthusiasm and of cordial congratula-
tons to the premier on having not only
ably united all sections of his party in
the ministry, but on having displayed
great discrimination in giving its indi-
vidual members congenial posts. They
express the conviction that such cab
met will inspire confidence both at
home and abroad. The names of Her
bert Henry Asquith, Str Edward Grey
and Richard Burden Haldane alone, ii
is held, will give great weight to the
ministry, and insure that there will be
no revival of Gladstonian home rule
despite the fact that the cabinet con-
tains preponderance of those favor
able to home rule.
The rapid rise of John Burns from
the workshop to the cabinet with sal
ary of $4,000 a year, is a unique fea-
ture, indicating the growing impor-
lance of the radical party, and he is
being congratulated on all sides on
winning a we'll deserved honor. He
will be the first labor member of the
house of commons to have attained
cabinet rank.

It would be an immense benefit 30
all mankind If the stores Of gold now
held by individuals in India could be
made available for general use. Ever
since the dawn of history that country
has been gathering gold and hiding it
away. Treasures of almost incalcu-
liable value are possessed by many In
dian princes. When the Maharajah
Of Burdwan died, the stock Of gold and
silver left by him was so large that
no member Of the family could make
an accurate estimate of it.
