DEATH OF
 MIR. FIELD Millionaire Merchant IS
 No More. DEATH CAME AT 4 O'CLOCK Remains Will Be Taken to Chicago
 For Burial. Leader of Worlds Dry Goods Trade Made Magnificent Struggle for Life, But Died Calm and
 Peacefully.

New York, Jan. 16.--Marshall Field of Chicago, millionaire merchant and a leader in the dry goods trade Of the world, died at the Holland House tu this city at o'clock this afternoon after an illness extending over mora than week. beginning with a bad cold and developing quickly into pneumo- mia, which affected both lungs.
 Mir Field, although 10 years of age. made a fight against the disease which impressed the attending physicians as being braver and stronger than would have been expected of a man many years his junior. Mrs. Field and other members of the family were with him when he lapsed into the period of un- consciousness which ended in death. Tn an adjoining room were many per sons prominent in the business and social life of Chicago. intimate asso- ciates of Mr. Field. who had come to New York when the seriousness of his condition was made known to them
 An outline of the funeral arrange ments was decided upon tonight. The body will be taken to Chicago toomr- row morning in a special train over the New York and Hudson River Rail- road and the Lake Shore system. There will be no service of any sort in this city. It is planned to hold the funeral SerEICeE ln GHtLdk0 HL <a 00tS hV 00 fixed, either from the Field residence on Prairie Avenue or from the First Presbyterian Church.
 A sinking spell early this morning which followed the remarkable rally of yesterday presaged the coming of the end. MT. Field was told last night that he had but the slightest chance for recovery. During the period Of consciousness which marked the last twenty-four hours of his life he talked but little. seemed resigned and peace full and occasionally expressed hia ap- preciatlon of the fight his physicians had made for him. Mir. Field had been in consultation Sunday with his per- sonal counsel from Chicago. He had felt that his condition was grave and had given almost constant thought to hls business affairs.
 With MT. Field at his death. In ad- dition to his wife were Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr., Stanley, Field. nephew and son of Joseph N. Field of Manchester England. and Mrs, Stanley Field.

BRITISH POLITICS
LABORTTEs AND LIBERALS GAIN
 TWO SEATS.
Feature of Contests Was Effort to Un- seat John Burns, LabOr Leader, Returned to Parliament
 By Hig Vote.

London, Jan. 16.-The Daborites and Liberals, as a result of yesterdays election at Newcastle on Tyne each gained seat. Both these seats form erIy were held by Unionists with ma jorities of 4,000 to 5000 and the force of the anti-Unionist blizzard can be gauged by the fact that tho result, which was announced this morning, gives the successful Laborite and Lib- eral contestants majorities of 1000.
 Sir Charles DiIke, in the Forest of Dean division of Worcestershire, and Colonel Saunderson of North Armagh, were among the members of Parliament reelected today without opposition. J, H. Seaverns, the American, form erly of Boston, Mass, has been suc- cessfuI in capturing the Brixton di- vision of Lambeth, London, for the Liberals.
 The feature of today's contests was the fight of John Burns. the labor lead CT. and President of the local GoVern- ment Board, to retain his seat. from the Battersea division or London. Burns was returned by a majority of 1900. The Cnionists exerted a tre- mendous effort to unseat him and they did not hesitate to admit that tho de- feat of Mir. Burns, whose vitriolic at tacks on the Unionist administration have done so much to influence the worknen voters of London would have materially helped to revenge the sore ness caused by the general downfall of the party.
 Among the Natlonalists returned IS James O'Connor, who was prominent in the Fenian movement, and who, with O,Donovan Rossa. was convicted in 1885 of treason. felony. and sentenced to seven years penal servitude. o'Con- nor had no opposition. No seat has yet been found for A. J Balfour.

WOFk&EAs
 Indianapolis, Jan. 16.--President John MitchelIs announcement this afternoon that satisfactory progress is being made toward a conference between the mine workers and the operators of the anthracite region drew round after round of applause from the i.2o0 dele gates assembled in Tomlinson Hall for the seventeenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America which began at 10 a. m.
 This announcement was made In the course of the Presidents annual report and almost as an incidental remark. There was no further explanation in regard to the anthracite situation from President Mitchell but the word of their chief was enough.
 The report of Vice-President Lewis told of the work of organization which has proceeded during the year just ended at a tremendous pace and also gave glimpses of his connection with the adjustment of many difficulties which arose during the year in widely separated parts of the country.
 Secretary Treasurer wilson's report gave the statistics of the oganizatton i'm full and Is a remarkable showing of the wonderful strength and vitality of the United Mine Workers. The con vention then adjourned until tomor- TOW.

Herr Won Rado- witz chief of the German mission. pro- posed the Duke of Almodovar as pres ident of the conference and the other countries, represented including the United States, seconded the proposal with the result tn 1t the Duke was unanimously elected president.
 During the course of his address, the Duke of Almodovar said.
 The powers have clearly shown their desire that order. peace and prosperity shall reign throughout Morocco. The Sultan, as we'll as the foreign govern ments desire this end which Is obtain able by introducing reforms upon the triple principle of the sovereignty Of the Sultan, the integrity of his terri tory and equal commercial treatment. namely, the open door. mutual respect for our reciprocal interest, and a sin cere desire to conciliate, must be, ac- cordipg to my view, our rule of con- duct at this conference. Our own sem timeut, as well as the expectant atti- tude of the entire world dictates such cociliatory solution"
 The conference adjourned at S:55 D. m, until tomorrow. after deciding, to begin the next session with discussing the surveillance of contraband arms and then take up the question of Mo- roccan financial reform.
 Ambassador White was most satis- fled with the results nt the meeting, as when the Duke of Almodovar empha- sized the necessity for tho indepen- dence of Morocco and the open door he was immediately and strongly seconded by the French and German delegates.

 The accused entered a plea to the Jurisdiction of the court on the ground that the specifications did not state that the miHshipmen alleged to be hazed were new cadets of the fourth class and also that the month of Sep tember was a period of Limitations.
 The court overruled the plea, where upon Mir. Monroe filed a demurrer to the specifications inasmuch as there was no definite allegations of cruelty or maltreatnient toward under class men. The demurrer was overruled
 The court then took a recess and when it reasembled, Meriwether enter ed a plea of not guilty to the charge and all the specifications.
