FAILURE.

Miss Caroline ComstOck. aged %
years. died suddenly this morning at 4
o'clock at the home of Iol. and Mrs. T.
NJ. Fisher, Washington street, death
having been caused by heart failure.
The young lady was in. good spirits

tired for the night appeared as hale
and hearty as usual. The shock oc-
casioned by her sudden demise was
severe, none of her friends having
known that she was troubled with her
heart.
Miss ComstOck came to Walla Walla
from Payette Iowa, last September.
and has since been engaged as elocu-
ton instructor in the public Schools as
we'll as the high school. She was a
favorite among both teachers and pu-
pills. and during her brief residence
here had surrounded herself with hos,s
of ajmiring friends who deeply mourn
her death.
Besides her parents, who live in Pay
cite, Miss Comstock is survived by
four brothers and one sister. all of
whom live in the east.
Funeral arrangements have not
been made. pending instructions from
relatives regarding the disposition de-
sired to be made of the body. It is
probable that interment will be in the
local cemetery. and that her parents
will come to. .Walla Walla to attend the
services.

NOTABLE EMBASSY
COMES FROM CHINA
BRINGS THANKS FOR AMERICAS
REMITTANCE OF DEBT.
HEADED BY TANG SHAO VI
Prince Tsai Flu, of Royal Family, in
Party-Learn at San Francisco
of Dowaqer Empress
Death.

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-Conveyins
to the American government the graft
tude of the Chinese people for remit
lance of a debt amounting to nearly
S14 100000, Tang Shao vi, powerful
figure in the affairs of the Chinese en-
pire, arrived in San Francisco Sunday
on the steamer Mongolia. With him
was Prince Tsai Flu, a member of the
royal family, and large retinue.
In his honor the dragon flag flew
from the mastheads of score of YES
sells in the bay, guns mounted on the
harbor front doomed out a salute and
thousands of his countrymen, silk
robed or silk-hatted, thronged the dock
where his escort landed.
Learns of Tsi Ans Death.
Not until the Mongolia dropped an
Choir in the harbor did Tang Shao vi
and his staff learn that the dowager
empress of China was dead. In Homo
lulu the cable brought news of the
emperor's death, but said nothing
about the dangerous illness that
threatened the end of the dowager
empress remarkable career. 1t was
only when Hsu Ping Chen, the consul
general at San Francisco, boarded the
steamer with a score of cablegrams
from the far east, that the distin-
guished visitor was acquainted with
the full extent of the changes that had
occurred since his departure. Even
the habitual Oriental reserve did not
cuff tn hi
while dignitaries of the state and gov
eminent awaited his attention, he
scanned message after message, ap-
parently unconscious of their pres
ence.
In accordance with the edict of
mourning, his entire party will re-
main practically secluded during it's
stay of three days in this city and the
local Chinese colony's arrangements
for costly banquets and other forms
of entertainment have been can
celed.
Tang Shao vi, with the so members
of his retinue, will go direct to Wash
ington, where he will remain until
after the inauguration of President
elect William H. Taft
Royal Prince in Party.
Prince Tsai Flu is a youth of 81, a
member of the royal family, a cousin
of the late emperor and himself the
most blue-blooded representative of
his race who has ever set foot on for
eign soil. While he bears the title of
first secretary to the embassy, his po-
sition is merely honorary, and his
journey abroad, apart from it's .educa-
tional purpose, is intended as an adj
ditional recognition of the obligation
conveyed in Americas remittance of
so large portion of the indemnity
awarded for damages sustained dur
ing the Boxer outbreak.
