LATTIMER IS DEAD
South Carolina Senator Failed
10 Recover From Operation
For Appendicitis.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Senator As
bury S. Latimer of South Carolina
died at Providence hospital at 9:15
a. m. to-day of peritonitis. He had
been at the hospital since Sunday
last when he underwent an operation
for appendicitis. 1t was then discov-
cred that the bowels had become
twisted and his condition was found
to be critical. He rallied, however,
and his progress was satisfactory un-
til o'clock last evening when stead
lily he began to sink. At midnight it
appeared that recovery was impos-
sible.
The members of the. senator's fam
lily were with him when he died. Col
onel Ransdell, sergeant at arms of
the senate at once arranged for the
removal Of the body to the Lattimer
home at Bolton, South Carolina. The
journey will be begun tonight. Sen
ator Tillman will announce the death
of his colleague when the senate con-
venes to-day after which the senate
will Immediately adjourn. A COM
mittee of the senate will be appoint
ed by the vice-president to accom-
pany the body to South Carolina.

ON SUNDAY BASEBALL,
Corporation Counsel Will Be Asked
to Favor an Amendment.

New Haven, Feb. 20.-Grouped in
City hall last night, a number of al
dermen passed the evening discussing
the Sunday baseball proposition. AL
derman Cunningham drifted into the
hall while several city fathers were
waiting for public hearing. No
one showed up so Alderman Cunning
ha mtook the opportunity of testing
some of his brother officials as to
what they thought of his Sunday
baseball bill.
Your bill will never pass the
board if | can help it," said Alderman
Frank Kenna, who, by the way, is a
lawyer, and says he doesn't think the
aldermen can get around the state
law. Then Alderman L. E. Jacobs,
another lawyer, told Alderman Cum
ningham, that city ordinances are
secondary to the state laws. All this
time Cunningham was smiling and
enjoying the opinions from his broth
er officials. Finally he said: 81 will
get my bill through the board in the
shape which the report will be
drawn and I'll have Sunday baseball
now don't you lawyers forget it,
Here is the way Alderman Gun
ningham proposes to report: That
the corporation counsel be requested
to appear before the legislature in
Hartford and advocate Sunday base
ball. At the last session of the legis-
lature the Sunday baseball bill was
killed by just one vote. This leads
Alderman Cunningham and others tc
believe that at the next session the
bill can be gotten through.

SULTAN'S WISH
Does MOI Want 10 Quarrel with
Russia Army For Another
Purpose
INTERNAL TROUBLES

st Petersburg, Feb 20.-A repre-
sentative of the foreign Office de-
clared to-day that Russia had re-
ceived very definite assurances that
the Turkish military preparations in
northwestern Turkey in the vicinity
Iof the Russian border were not di-
rected against Russia, but were made
necessary by the threatening inter-
nal situation in this region which in
cludes Armenia and Kurdestan. The
assurance has been conveyed also
that the sultan has no wish to quar-
rel with Russia.
The above assurances have re-
ceived due consideration here and it
was further explained that the steps
which the general staff is taking in
the Caucasus should in no sense be
regarded as menace to Turkey, but
simply as precautionary measures
which the military measures natural
ly must adopt in view of this con-
sidered concentration of Turkish
troops, regardless of the pacific OBJ
ject of the movement. The hope is
entertained here that this assurance
will put an end to alarming rumors
regarding the situation of the Turco-
Russian frontier that have been cir
culated abroad.
