Murder of Prince Ito.

Harbin.-Prince Hirobumi Ito was
assassinated at the Tsaitsagan railway
station here Tuesday at the moment
the Japanese diplomat was acknowl-
edging the noisy welcome that had
greeted him as he stepped down fron
the coach that he had occupied in the
railroad train.
Smiling and bowling he turned to
make his way toward the Russian fl
nance minister, M. Kokovsoff, who was
awaiting him on the station platform
a few PAGES distant.
Suddenly half dozen revolver shots
fired in quick succession were heard
followed by the cries of those stand
ing near the prince, who had either
been wounded or imagined themselves
to be.
At the second report Prince Ito
staggered and fell. 1t was subsequent
ly found that he had received three
bullets, two of which entered the alb
domen. Prince Ito did not recover
consciousness and died twenty min.
utes later.

ceived bullet, as did Japanese Con-

CAUSES OF TYPHOID.

Autumnnl typhoid still has way of
appearing at customary seasons In
well nigh every region OF the country.
The health authorities in New York
find 1t this year rather worse than
usual. 1t appears in the dwellings OF
the well-to-do as freely as in the
shacks of the poor. Sanitation does
not prevent 1t, that is, not what we
generally call sanitation. 1t is an In
testinal disease. conveyed by drink
or food. The old theories of bad air.
sewer gas and damp houses have not
now much standing. 1t is feared
that some OF the later theories do not
explain all the points about autumn
typhoid. The housefiy does not. The
condition of the water supply, as be-
ing different in summer and winter.
does not A plausible explanation Is
that the profuse perspiration with
which in summer the body eliminates
a large amount Of disease breeding
matter, is reduced to minimum al
most instantly when the cool days
begin. The kidneys and bowels. un-
accustomed to the task. are burdened
with dangerous materials and unable
to perform the task of elimination. 1t
is at least common knowledge that
typhoid is most prevalent when the
cool weather sets in.

GEN. 90. HOWARD
DIES SUDDENLY
WAS LAST SURVIVING GREAT
COMMANDER OF THE
CIVIL WAR.
Thanked BY CONGRESS
LOST AN ARM IN BATTLE AND
WAS FAMED AS CHRIS
TlAN SOLDIER.

Burlington. Vt.-General Oliver o.
ers of the Civil War. died at his homa
here Tuesday night of heart disease.
He was seventy-nlne years old.
Last week General Howard was in
Ontario delivering mis- lecture On
abraham Lincoln" His last public
appearance was at London Sunday
night.
Monday he returned to his home
here and was apparently in his usual
good health. Tuesday night he was
attacked by heart trouble and was
dead when physician reached the
house.
Including General Howard's serv-
ices in the Indian wars, he probably
was in more engagements than any
other officer in the United States
Army. He was born in Leeds, Me-,
other officer in the United States
November s, 1880.
OF the five illustrious commanders
of the Army of the Tennessee, Cen
eral Howard was the only survivor.
Grant, Sherman, Mcpherson and Lo-
gan died before him. They all made
names from Nashville to Atlanta. Nc
Pherson died at the latter place, Lo-
gan was the hero OF July 22nd in the
great battle there. Sherman was the
campaign director, Grant was the
head and Howard himself was called
by Sherman the "Stonewall Jackson"
of the northern army. He succeeded
to the command of the Army of the
Tennessee after the death of McPher-
son at Peachtree creek. General How
atrd participated in more prominent
engagements of the war than any Off
Ger now living. he was with McClel-
Ian in the peninsular campaign, and
lost his arm at fair Oaks.
Later he went down the bloody way
to Fredericksbu Charlottesville,
Gettysburg, Atlanta and Fayetteville.
For his gallant services at Gettysburg
he was thanked by congress in Sc
ries of resolutions. His pronounced
Christian character was well known
through the war, and was so stead
fastly maintained that he won then,
and has always held since, the conf
dence and love of the people of the
entire nation. He was the friend and
intimate of Dwight L. Moody, and they
were together when the steamship
Spree was wrecked.
General Howard was first lieuten-
ant in 1861. Twenty years later he
made the Indian campaign against the
Nez Perces and the Brule Sioux, and
won as high a reputation in fighting
them as he did in the Civil war.
General Howard was the author of
"Donald's School Days." "Nez Perces
Joseph" Life of Azenor de Gaspa-
rin." Life of Zachary Taylor" lsa-
bella of Castillo" Fighting for HUI
manity," Henry in the War;" He was
also popular lecturer.
