The Late President Montt.

Bremen, Aug. 17.-No word has yet
been received from the Chilean gov
eminent regarding the disposition to
be made of the body of President Pedro
MONT. who died a few minutes before
midnight last night, after having landed
here in the moruiu. from the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse.
Death was so plainly due to heart
disease, physicians say, that there Will
be no need of an autopsy. ExamlIla-
tons show, according 10 the physicians,
that the dead cxerut.,c had long been
in prccarious condition.
Mrs. Mont is FRUSTRATED and under
the care OF physicians. The govern
ment has ordered the flags in Bremen
half-staffcd and that every possible
courtesy and honor he shown Mrs.
Mont and her attendants.
President Months death occurred at
HilIman's Hotel us he was preparing
for bed. His vile and valet were pres
ent. Physicians were summoned I'M
mediately, but they arrived after Mont
was dead.
Santiago, Chile, Aug. 17.-Chllc is
in mourning today for her dead prcsl-
dent, Pedro Mont. The centennial
celebration, that has been in progress
for several weeks, has been suspended.
A Chilean cruiser will go to New York
to receive the body upon its arrival
from Bremen. The death Of President
Mont occasioncd no great surprise.
For months it was Known that he was
suffering from i malignant heart affec-
ton that was likely II any time to cause
death. For this reason the council OF
state and the cabinet had relieved the
president of rs many OF his duties as
possible. 1t is NJ" believed that Mont S
death will have any serious effect Oh
political or business conditions.

THE sudden and unexpected death iii
Bremen yesterday Of President Mont.
of Chile, is sincerely regretted by Ill
people, especially these who met the
Chilian executive in this country Il few
weeks ago. President Mont, 1t will be
remembered, was with Mayor Gaynor,
OF New York, when the latter was shot
by an assassin on an ocean steamer
which was about to leave for Europe.
The occurrence, it S believed. had its
effect upon President Montt. who had
been a sufferer from weak heart.
His death. while serious loss to 4
sister republic. will be regretted in al!
countries the deceased had visited.

pcricnce yesterday of finding Il fortune
Of $50, 600 while trying to arise from

Il secret little cavity that his
crafty uncle had built into it.

whom he occupied the house left them

FISHING 4 FAILURE.

With the American and Canadian
mackcrrl fisheries virtually a failure for
the first time in forty years lovers of the
SEA dclicacy living on this hemisphere
will be compelled to eat the product OF
Irish and Norwegian waters.
The cause Of the scarcity is Il mys-
terry, but it exists, and American mack
crel fishermen have deserted the waters
in which they have been working and
sailed for the grand banks for cod.
There is also Il shortage OF sardincs
along the Maine coast though it is not
so serious, and Susquchanna and Puto-
mac herring were very scarce this last
season.
Isadore Levin. of the firm OF S. H.
Levin's Sons, who import two-thirds OF
the Irish and Norwegian mackcrcl
which come to tins country, declared
yesterday that the supply would come
from these countries entirely until con-
dtions improved on this side of the
Atlantic.
There is a tariff duty Of 81 per barrel
on Irish and Norwegian mackerel, De-
spite this fact, the price has not yet
been increased. We have been able, !"
said Mr.. Levin yesterday, to get Il
price from abroard that will enable us to
pay the dutp and keep the selling price
about normal for while at least How
long it will last cannot say. We
hope, however, that no increase will be
necessary.
Mr.. Levin said that the scarcity was
possibly due to the lack Of some fav-
orite food of the fish, though the fish
come and 60 and leave the reasons to
conjecture.

Now ali a leaCer has to think Of is
producing a champion team. To dc
that and cover a position equally as
well as the star men on your team are
becoming impossibilities. and 1t has
been proved by the manner in which

from the bench in favor of other men.
II have thought about giving my po-
sition to some one else. but I can
hardly do it. as there will be a howl

CHANCE TO QUIT
AS FIRST.SACKER
Cubs Pilot Says He Intends to
Become Bench Manager.
LUDERUS may SUCCEED HIM.
Leader of Chicago Nationals Thinks
Younsster Mast Promising Initial
Stationer In Either League Today.
Chance Beginning to Feel Strain.

Frank Chance, manager and first
baseman of the Chicago Nationals, Is
seriously thinking of retiring from ac-
tive service from his baseball team.
The constant worry of directing the
club in pennant races, added to the
strain of being forced to cover the
Initial sack. is the cause of his pro-
posed stand. Whether he will permit
the idea of becoming q bench manager
to materialiZe depends wholly on one
thing and one player-if the ardent
Chicago fans will stand for losing a
man of his abilities and If Fred Luz
derus can make good in covering first
base.
1t does seem queer for Chance to en-
terrain the thought of joining the
ranks Of Clarke Griffith. Hugh Duffy,
Hugh Jennings and McGraw as a
leader directing his men from the
bench. He is going better this season
than at the start of any league race
for years. His managerial troubles
have not in any way interfered with
his becoming the best first baseman
in the league. AS fielder he always
ranked with the best OF them and in
hitting outclassed many. He finished
the 1909 season with a good average,
and If he continues his present work
he will surpass it.
With work like that it Is doubtful
If the fans Of Chicago will stand for
his retiring to the bench. He is too
popular a player, and the magnetic
force he has in drawing the people to
the games and getting the work out
of his men is wonderful. There Is
something in his aggressive manner
that puts an entirely different aspect
on a game when he is on first base.
He is always fighting and never quits
until the crowd flows on the field aft
err the battle is over. When he is in
there making the opponents worry
have the same spirit.
Chance thinks that the days of the
playing manager are over. 1t seems
as If he is right. Years ago nearly
every manager in the clubs in both
leagues engaged in the game. Now
there is not one manager in the Amer
lean league who completes and only
four in the National.
Just let me give you a little tip.
The days of the playing manager are
over" said Chance. "Of course that is
not saying or even intimatins that /
am through. 1t is not the same now
as it was years ago to play position
and conduct the affairs of team. The
crowds were not so large and the fans
and owners of clubs did not demand as
much. frc.r.a man .~"r - they do, now.
