DEATH ENDS BRILLIANT
 CAREER OF HALSTEAD

century, and one of the strongest tributes to his incisiveness as a writer was In 1889, when his nomination by President Harrison to be minister to Germany was rejected by the United States Senate be- cause of articles he had published charg- ing corruption to some members of that body.
 He was a native of Bettler county, Ohio, and after a short service on a literary weekly he, in 1854 became connected with the Cincinnati Commercial, In which he secured a small interest year later be- coming chief owner in 1865. Nearly 70 years later his paper was consolidated with the Gazette and he was edltor-in- chief of the combined newspaper until 10 years afterwards, when another consoli- dalton was effected, new owners securing control For time he was editor of the Brooklyn Standard Union, and during the last 10 years he has figured largely as d magazine and special writer, besides issu- ing a number of books on current matters of historical interest.
 In the civil war MT. Halstead personally reported many battles. being rated as Il war correspondent of the first class, and letter in the ranco-German war, and also in the Spanish American war, he added to his reputation in that line.
 For 50 years he attended and reported all republican national conventions and in 1860 he was the only newspaper man who reported all the various political conven~ tions of that year.

Cincinnati, July 2.-Murat Halstead, one of the leaders in American journalism for over half a century, and widely known as a vigorous editorial and magazine writer, died at his home in this city this after noon, in his seventy-nlnth year. At his bedside were his wife, his son Robert and che daughter, Mrs. Arthur Stem
 Mr. Halstead had been failing in strength for several months and yesterday suffered from cerebral hemorrhage. His physicians this morning told the family that death was simply question of hours and those of the family at a distance were at once notified.
 MT. and Mrs. Halstead celebrated their golden wedding anniversary little more than a year ago, at which time MT. Hal stead's health seemed frail. and as time passed he grew weaker. so that the news of his death was not wholly unexpected. The sudden death of his son Marshall a few months ago was a severe shock to him and is believed to have had an ad- verse effect Of his health, being the first break in his family. Albert Halstead, an other son, is American consul at Brmlng ham, England, and other members of the family are scattered throughout the coun- try.
 Mir. Halstead was one of the great ed itors of the last half of the nineteenth

MEXICO SUSPECTS
 TEXAS OF MEDDLING
United States Government Will Be Asked to Punish City Authorities In Texas Border Towns For Shielding and En- couraging Revoutionists Who Caused Trouble In
 Mexico and Then Made Escape Across Border

City of Mexico, July 2.-MeXico will ask local authorities of Del Rio. Tex and possibly others of the state under whose authority they acted. The grounds will be that the officers knowingly failed in their duty by allowing persons who par ticipated in the Las Vacas raid to return to the Texas side of the river unnterfered with and to bring with them their wound ed.
 Punishment may also be asked for the authorities and police of Del Rio for all lowing meetings to be held there for the purpose of fomenting and planning raids. murders and robbery in Mexico
 The latter request. however, will be con- tingent on investigations not yet com ascertaining of the amount of knowledge which the police of Del Rio had of the meetings.
 This new phase of the international side of the trouble in northern Mexico was made known today by Minister Mariscal Of the foreign relations department Bad faith toward Mexico by the state of Texas in the recent trouble is very strongly sus pected by the Mexican government.
 ''The action of Washington has been the very best" said Minister Mariscal to- day. Not only has the United States gov ernment shown itself willing and eager to assist Mexico, but took quick steps to

move troops to the border eylncing de- gree of frlendliness which cannot be aues- toned, but admired.
 The sincerity of Texas, however, he declared, appears to be another mat ter
 Our doubts in regard to Texas have begun to increase with developments The failure of local authorities to arrest these men on the ground that their offense was political in my mind has no tenable eX- cuse.
 No absolute decision has been reached yet as to whether complaints Will De made because the facts in the case have not thoroughly banned out and there are other more important matters for atten- tion, but l am strongly inclined to be- lieve that complaints will be made and punishment asked for"
 The minister called attention to the fact that about 100 men had a series of meet ings in Del Rio which could hardly have taken place in secrecy. The large number of raiders also returned to Del Rio after the trouble and carried with them wound ed men, an act that could hardly have been performed in secret.
 Mexico will probably ask for the extra 6ition of a portion of the raiders In this regard Minister Mariscal stated that the Mexican government will wait until the American government has dealt with those offenders whose delinquency comes under the head of infraction of the neu- traity laws. He will now ask for those whose acts were wholly criminal and who should be punished here.
 Minister Mariscal stated that the trou- be is now entirely over.

cORTELYOu GIVES ADVICE

Washington, July 1.-Two conferences of importance were held today by Judge ". H. Taft. the first being with Speaker Cannon and the second with Secretary of the Treasury George E. Cortelyou.
 Concerning neither conference was much disclosed.
 Speaker Cannon said later that he had called on the republican standard-bearer merely to pay his respects and to renew his assurances that he could be depended upon to furnish any assistance in his Taft
 In the afternoon Judge Taft went to the treasury department and had an hours talk with Secretary Cortelyou. The interview covered wide range of po- litical topics Primarily it was Judge Tafts idea to talk with MT. Cortelyou about the work of the national commit tee. of which MT. Cortelyou was chair man in the last Presidential campaign Secretary Cortelyou gave Judge Taft much valuable information concerning the practical workings of the commit tee.
 Incidentally. although the subject of the national chairmanship was not con- sidered at great length. Secretary Cortel- you took occasion to urge the selection of Frank F. Hitchcock.
 It has been decided that the committee appointed at the Chicago convention to notify Judge Taft of his nomination for tlSS Presidency will meet him in Cincin- natl on Tuesday. July S Judge Taft will go to Cincinnati from Hot Springs for the purpose of receiving the commit tees notification and will return directly to Hot Springs.
 Later this afternoon MT. Taft received a cablegram conveying to him sad news. It was the announcement of the death in London. England, today of William T. Gilbert of Brooklyn, N. Y. member of Judge Tafts class of IFS at Yale.
 About 6 o'clock this evening Judge and Mrs. Taft went in an automobile to the residence of Gen. and Mrs. Franklin Bell at Fort Meyer, Va, where an informal dinner was given in their honor tonight. After the dinner a reception was ten- dered to the army officers stationed in Washington and vicinity and their wives at the residence of General Bell.
 Judge and Mrs. Taft and their son, Charlie. accompanied by a clerical force and servants, will leave Washington to- morrow afternoon at o'clock by the Chesapeake and Ohio railway for Hot Springs, Va

Cooperstown, N. Y, July 2-While every possible measure is being taken to conserve the strength of Bishop Henry c. Potter the passage of another day in the eccleslastic's illness at Fernleigh, his wife's summer home here left him with reserve of vitality so small that his survival, it is feared, is but matter of hours.
 At 9:S0 o'clock tonight his physicians ls- sued the following bulletin:
 Bishop Potter, after ralying some what during the early forenoon, has gradually lost strength, and at present is weaker than at any time during his illness. y. E. JAW REIN, M U.

 All of the bishops family are now at Fernleigh except three of his daughters, who are absent in Europe. None, even the immediate family, is allowed by the

physicians free access to the sick room. Each is admitted singly and for few minutes at time.
 While the bishop still retains conscious ness he is not allowed to exert himself in the slightest degree, and his commun- ications with the members of his family are as a rule hardly more than the pass ing of signs of recognition by a pressure of the hand.
 Today in compliance with a sentiment which has found general expression among Cooperstown folk, resolution was passed by the village board of trustees asking the public to refrain from setting off explosives of any kind on the Fourth. To compensate the local dealers for the loss of trade which they would naturally suffer through the observance of such request stephen C. Clark. son of Mrs. Potter, has bought up all the stocks of fireworks. firecrackers and other ccle- brative adjuncts of an explosive nature in the village shops.

Louisville, Ky, July Recommending upon the report from New York last night that Judge Alton B. Parker had been selected to present resolutions at the Denver convention upon ex-President Cleveland's death, Col. Henry Watterson said:
 "The attempt to drag the dead body of Grover Cleveland from it's new-made grave into the tumult of a national con vention will deceive no one.
 "An invasion of the grief of the noble lady, who weeps amid the silence and the solitude of the granite hills, a blow at party concord. it is the act of shameless hypocrites. Nor was ever a professional ghoul inspired by a more mercenary spirit, because the sole aim and end of the Murphy Connors crowd, headed by Judge Parker, is the perpetuation of the ascendancy of the Belmont-Ryan combi nation, to which democracy owes it's last ignominious and well deserved defeat. It was Belmont-Ryan money that financed Judge Parker's campaign for the nomi- nation in 1904. It was Belmont-Ryan money that nominated him. And it was lHe beiiiioHl-NydE ldS tiidt iiouS dii antitrust movement under such a brand absurd and impossible.
 Tt seemed fitting that, having made sacrifices for predatory wealth, Judge Parker should have his recompense in a rich law practice in the city of New York. He has had it, and, with it and its enrichment, he should rest content. and well content That he should emerge from this highly-psid obscurity to make trouble through sheer malevolence were pitiable indeed; but that he should ap pear, backed by the money of trust mag mates and traction thieves, appealing to Jefferson and Tilden, the dead body of Cleveland stretched upon the dissecting table, is disgraceful.

eral resentment in their circles against the republican party. MT. Taft, they assert, was not popular with the work ing classes to begin with, and since the Chicago convention the opposition has be- come intensified.
 Before leaving Washington MT Gon- pers did not make any claims as to what he expected to accomplish at Denver but from what he is said to have let out he is clearly of the opinion that he will at least receive better treatment from the democrats, even if he does not succeed in securing all he wants.
