London, March 24-The news of the
death of the Duke of Devonshire at
Cannas came unexpectedly to England
and has caused widespread regret. AL
though the duke had been ailinS since
lie suffered sudden attack of heart
weakness at Windsor castle last June
and in spite of some alarming reports
that reached London during his sOjourn
i'm Egypt this winter. the recent &C
counts of his health had been reas-
sI,ring Yesterday, how ever. the fam
ly of the duke were advised of a re-
lapse. and Victor c. w. Cavendish. his
nephew and Lord Charles Montagu,
went IL Cannes and were present
when the end came.
The death OF the duke leaves gap
in the public life of Great Britain. for
although his withdrawal from the Bal
four ministry when Joseph Chamber
lain launched his fiscal policy estrang-
Cd him from a majority of the party.
he still had a large following in the
country and as president of the Union
Ist Free Trade League he took an ac-
tive part in the campaign against
tariff reform. He delivered his last
speech on this question just one year
ago, on the occasion of the jubilee of
his entrance upon Il political career.
Few men have spent a more active
political life than the Duke Of Devon
shire. He has almost continually q
cabinet member in charge of some inn
portant department as a Liberal before
the split with Gladstone and later as
leader of the Liberal tnionists. He led
tho 7 morals IIrinp n 10
tremnnt of Gladstone in 1875. and was
offered but refused the premiership af-
ter the Midlothian campaign of 1880.
He WAS again offered this honor upon
the defeat of home rule but ne again
refused.
The duke was also active socially
and his entertainments at his Piccadil-
~ residents and at ChatSworth Ilous"
in DerbyShire. and his other country
houses. We're notable. Members of the
royal family frequently wern his guests
particularly at Chatsworth House
where the hunting and shooting and
the theatricals in the dukes private
theatre offered entertainment to which,
king Edward was partial. The dufe
was often the guest of His Majesty
and it WAS when he was with tie KING
at Windsor last June for the Ascot
races that the first symptoms of heart
weakness Wpre displayed. Last fall
he left London for Egypt to spend the
winter. In January recurrence OF
the heart Weakness was reported bu:
from this he rallied and was able t.
start for hcme. stopping at Cannes t.

The duke had no immediate family
and the duledom passes to his nephew
Mr.. Cavondish. who married the daugIl-
ter of Lord Lansdowns.

Stevens In Excellent Condition, Con-

San Francisco. March 24.-Dr. +. II.
Zumwalt who made a careful eXamin-
alton of the wounds of ID. w. Stevens,
the American diplomat whose assass-
nation was attempted Monday by two
COreans. said last night that the pa
tient was in excellent condition, con-
sidering the seriousness OF his in
juries He continued:
"One bullet entered just below the
right shoulder blade and | am inclined
to think that it penetrated the lung.
The other entered near the pelvic bone
and narrowly missed the spinal cord.
We know the spinal cavity is intact
from the fact that there have been no
signs of paralysis. Nor is there any
evidence that the bullet entered the
abdomen
While TIL, attending surgeons pro-
fesScd to be more than satisfied with
Mr.. Stevens condition, symptoms have
developed. it was stated. which midi
Gates that one of the bullets from the
wou,d-be assassin's revolver, had
nearly penetrated the lung cavity. A
consultation of surgeons was held this
afternoon at which it was decided to
make an X-ray examination of the
wounds tomorrow to locate the bullets.
MIR. Stevens received the following
ca5lcsram from the Japanese minister
of foreign affairs today:
II am profoundly shocked to learn
of the dastardly attempt on your life
and am anxiously awaiting for re-as-
Surfing news of your speedy recovery.
In the meantime japanese consul gen.
efal at San Francisco has been in
structcd to offer you any assistance in
his power.

"Minister Of Foreign Affair

Neither the local police nor the fed
eral authorities have yet taken any
steps toward ascertaining whether the
attempt upon Mr. Stevens life was the
result of conspiracy among the local
Coreans. Chief of Police Biggey ex-
pressed the opinion that it was the
work of two fanatical malcontents and
that no plot to murder the diplomat
existed outside of these two men. 1t
has, however. been pretty well estab-
lished that at least four or five Core
ans were concerned in the plot.
