FIGHTING
IN PERSIA

Teheran, Persia, June 24.-It is
generally confirmed that the first shot
in yesterdays fighting in this city
was fred by members of the Album
ans, or political clubs. Soldiers early
this morning surrounded the parlia-
ment house and demanded that a
pamber of persons whose arrest the
Shah had ordered, be handed over to
them. This demand the parliament
refused, and shots were fired at the
troops. The parley then broke up and
The bombardment of the parliament
building began. The halls were even
tually cleared. The fighting between
Adjumans and Cossacks was kept up
until re-enforcements arrived, when
the Nationalists fed Bombs were
thrown at the Cossacks and Is were
killed, with three superior officers,
and twenty men wounded. Many
houses were pillaged by the troops.
Not Many Killed Yesterday.
London, June 24.-Private dis
patches received from Teheran say

A Short Sketch of His Career.
Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and
Gath President. He was born in Cald-
well, Essex county, N. J., on March Is
1887 and was consequently II years
old last March. In his earlier days
he served as a clerk, later going to
Buffalo where he became a bank clerk
and where he was admitted to the bar
in 1859. From this date his honors
came thick and fast.
From 1863 to 1855 he was assistant
district attorney and il 1870 was ell
ected sheriff of Erie county and serv-
ed until 1873. He became mayor of
Buffalo in 1881 and this led to his
nomination to the higher Office of
Governor of the state of New York
The campaign for governor il 1888
was a strenuous one and when the
smoke of the battle had cleared away
it was found that Cleveland was ell
ected by the great majority of $4,000.
country as a whole had become at
tracted to Cleveland and in 1884 he
secured the democratic nomination to
the highest Office in the gift of the
American people and was elected ov-
er his republican opponent, James G.
Blaine. While president in this his
first term he attracted much attention
to the subject of tariff reform by his
famous message on that subject to
congress. He was renominated but
was defeated in 1888 by Benz. Har
rison and retired from the presidency
in 1889.
The democratic party again turned
to Cleveland in 1892 and he was aomi-
mated and elected over Harrison, re-
ceiving PIT electoral votes to his op-
ponents 145 and 5,556,533 popular
votes to 5,175,577 for Mr.. Har-
son. When his term expired in 1897
he retired to Princeton, N. j., where
he has since resided with his family.

Princeton, N. j., June 24.-Grover
Cleveland, former President of the
United States, died suddenly at his
home here at $40 this morning. His
death was due to heart failure COM
plicated with other diseases. His
death was not Immediately an1ounc-
ed, but was delayed until an official
statement had been prepared by the
physicians in attendance, which was
as follows: Mr.. Cleveland for many
years suffered from repeated attacks
of gastro-intestinal origin. He also
had long standing disease of the
heart and kidneys. Heart failure COM
plicated with pulmonary trouble and
oedema were the immediate causes
of his DEATH
While Mr.. Cleveland had been SER
iously ill from time to time, the an
nouncement of his death came like a
thunderbolt to those watching his i'll
ness Last night there was a slight
by the visit of DIR. Bryant, of New
York, the Clevelalds' physician for
many years. Mrs. Cleveland later in
the evening, discussing DIR. Bryant's
visit, said there was no occasion for
alarm and that her husband was get
ting along nicely. This reinsurance
totally unprepared their friends for
the announcement of his death.
Those who were at the bedside of
the former president when the end
came were Mrs. Cleveland and three
physicians. The only other persons
in the house at the time were serv-
ants.
Doctors Bryant and Lockwood, who
came from New York early yesterday
evening, remained at the Cleveland
home all night When they visited
the patient this morning they found
him indisposed, as one of them ex-
pressed it, aid DR.. Cochran, who
lives in Princeton, was asked to step
over Shortly after eight Mr.. Cleve-
land seemed to fail, and the physl-
clans worked hard over him with ev-
lapsed into unconsciousness and the
end came at $40. 1t is believed that
the terrific heat of the last few days
contributed in a great degree to his
sudden death. 1t is expected that ar
rangements for the funeral will be
made this afternoon.
Scores of kilograms are pouring
into the Cleveland home from various
parts of the country, offering condo
lence and sympathy.

was issued to the Associated Press
today: "The funeral of former Presi
dent Cleveland will be held Friday

Seventy-one Years Old.
New York, June 24.-Mr. Cleveland
was II years old, March Is last. Dur

Flags at Half Mast.
Washington, D. c., June 24-The
unofficial notification of the death of
former President Cleveland was i'm
mediately flashed to Oyster Bay for
the information of President Roose-
velt. The White House received its
first news of death from the Associat-
ed Press. Secretary Cortelyou, who
as the senior cabinet officer in Wash
ngton at present, is now acting head
of the administration. The first word
that came to Cortelyou from Oyster
Bay was in the form of instructions,
which the Secretary Immediately pro-
mulgated to all executive departments
to place flags at half mast. It is
probable they will thus remain for
thirty days.
Secretary Cortelyou made the fol
lowing statement regarding Mr.. Cleve-
land: Although not entirely unex-

JESSUP THROUGH
WITH POLITICS
Prosecuting Attorney States
He Has Taken His Last
Fling.
THIS COMES AS A SURPRISE
THOUGHT THAT WHEN HIS TERM
EXPIRED AS PROSECUTOR, HE
WOULD COMBINE IN POLITICAL
ARENA.

My ambition is gone. Gentlemen.
I've had my fling and my ambition in
the line Of politics has been lost I'm
through, and hereafter it's Willie for
the law business alone"
1t was in this rather strange manner
that Wilfred Jessup. prosecuting attor-
ney this morning announced his de-
termination to retire from politics.
The statement was precipitated by a
discussion of the Chicago convention
and incidentally reference to the re-
cent district convention held at Shell
byville
At the end of the current year Jessup
will complete two terms as prosecuting
attorney. During the last Republi-
can nominating campaign he was a
candidate for congress from this coun-
". He was defeated and at the time
he stated he did not believe he would
attempt to secure office at the favor
Of the people again. The announce
ment will be a surprise to many friends
of the States attorney who had antic-
ipated his remaining in the political
arena.
