Rome, oct. 22.-No travelling sovereign

great European armies have been laid
under contribution in order that the Car

Russian frontier. and a large section OF
the German army and police have been
employed since last evening in maintain

Part OF the precautions in Germany
consisted in changing more than once the

known to only the highest officials. who
telegraphed short notice instructions to
their STATS.

Tonight the Car will travel over the

New York, Oct. 23.-Senator
Patrick H. McCarren died at ;o5
o'clock this morning. All hope had
been given up several hours before.
At a few minutes before I o'clock
DR.. Peter Hughes, the senator's s
personal physician, came down
stairs. where the senator's relatives
and friends had been called to
wait for the word that he was dead,
and told them that it was possible
that the senator might live an hour,
but that the probability was that
he would last but a few minutes
longer.
At II;3o o'clock Rev. Father
thinner, of the Church of the Holy
Trinity, had been summoned to the
senator's bedside and remained with
him a few moments. Senator Nc
Carren already had received the last
rites of the church. Father Zim-
mer prayed with the dying man, and
then came downstairs to wait with
the others for the last word.
All the relatives of the Brooklyn
political leader who were able to
be with him were at the hospital at
the time. His aged mother was not
able to be moved from her home,
where she has been i'll for some
time.
