Expires on Steamer Enroute From

News Comes by Wireless.

Cambridge. Mass, March 29.-Alex-
ander Agassiz, the eminent naturalist
and president of the Calumet & Hecla
Mining company, died yesterday on
the steamer Adriatic, bound from
Southampton for New York. The news
came in a wireless message.
Boston, Mass. March 29.-News of
Agassiz's death came as a great sur
prise and shock He had been heard
from frequently since he went abroad
about New Years time, and was sup
posed to be in the best of health. Ag-
assiz's trip took him to Egypt and the
countries bordering the Mediterranean
sea.
Agassiz was director of several cop
per companies, son of the famous
naturalist, Jean Paul Louis Rodolpe

ROOSEVELT IS
CALLED TORY BY
BRITISH PRESS

London, March 29.-Rooseyelt's 8
address before the students Of the
University of Egypt today has at
tracted considerable comment here
where there is difference of opin-
Ion as to the good or evil effects Of
his plain talk, especially his denun-
citation of the assassination of Pre-
'mier GhaH. The radical press today
takes exception to RooseveiJ's re-
marks and even the moderate West
minister Gazette, editorially. ques-
tiOns the wisdom of them.
On the other hand the tory press
is delighted and declares Roosevelt,
in speaking plainly, did a service to
human progress throughout the
world.

New Orleans, March 29.-Unspeal-

Chamorro declared a wealthy plan

to a point of laceration and finally
killed because he refused to contri-

faction. Both male and female rela-

cent of any actual attack on the titu-
lar government, have been imprisoned,
Chamorro asserts.
VIII Get Help Here.
That an extensive expedition from
New Orleans Will be sent to Bluenelds
seems certain unless there should be
some interference or the part of the
United States. Authentic reports say
hundreds of Americans have been en-
gagged to carry on the warfare against
Madriz. An abundance of arms has
without doubt been secured.

In championing his bill; which is a

Mr.. Fowler's bill provides, in brief,
that the banking system for the
United States shall be organized with
a banknote redemption zone, a bank
er's council, a board of control and
federal reserve bank. The banknote
redemption zones, under the provisions
of the bill, shall be located in 2S cities

president of the United States states,
acting in conjunction with the secre-

The controller of the currency and
the secretary of the treasury would
