Hoe denies that there was any gathering of men in his house and says the gas bill has been only oy cents for the past three or four months. He can assign no motive for selecting his house for the location of the work that is alleged to have been in Progress. ———___ . Interior Department Changes.

BELKNAP, Tho Ex-Secretary Stricken Down Sud- denly, Alone, in His Office. PROBABLY LIFE HAD BEEN EXTINCT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS WHEN THE FACT WAS DISCOVERED THIS MORNING—HE WAS LAST SEEM ALIVE SATURDAY NIGHUT—DRIEF SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. On Saturday afternoon Gen. W. W. Belknap, ex-Secretary of War, ascended the steps to the residence of Justice Miller and made anxious inquiry as to the condition of his dying friend. This morning Justice Miller still lives, while the body of Gen. Belknap has been prepared for burial. Just when the old warrior died no one knows. Death struck him while ho slept and the fact was not known until nearly 9 o'clock this morning, Tho awful discovery was made by Mr. John W. Cameron, whoso office and that of Gen. Belknap are practically one. It was about 8:30 when Mr. Cameron entered his office in the Evans building, 1420 New York avenue, He took his mail and the general's out of the box and while he was read-| ing that portion of it which was his the woman who attended to the general’ apartments came in and asked if the general had gone away. Moro than once she had tried to get in, but had failed. ‘The janitor, Henry Walter, was sent for and he, with the aid of a step ladder looked through the transom into the parlor and there saw the general's hatanda portion of his clothing. ‘Then the ladder was moved to the bed room door and Walter saw the general in bed and motionless. Mr. Sprigg. the agent of the building. wasrent for and so was Dr. Walsh. Walter then removed the transom, entered the room and unlocked the door, admitting the waiting ones. It was evident at once that the general was not only doad, but that HE HAD BEEN DEAD FOR 80ME TINE. He was lying on his back, his left arm drawn up near the chin and the hand clenched, The right aand and arm were beneath the clothes and were extended. The left leg was uncovered and hung over the side of the bed, the attitude being that of one who had made a momentary effort to rise—an effort throttled by the bony hand of the great conqueror. ‘An effusion. apparently from the left car, discolored the pillow and adjacent portions of the bedclothing. The news of the discovery spread to the street and Officer Cross at once entered and took charge of the remains and the property. Lieut. Amiss also put in an appearance and later Sergeant Arcoteenes ‘was present. The coroner was notified and at 10:30 he arrived. He believed the general must have died more than twenty-four hours before his body was fonmee Under his direction the remains were taken to the undertaking estab- lishment of W. R. Speare, on F street, HIS LAST VISIT. So far as has been ascertained the last pef- sons who saw Gen. Belknap alive were Dr. T.O. and Mrs. Hills, who live at 1321 New York avenue. It was tho general's eustom to visit the doctor’s home every Saturday evening and the last Saturday evening he spent on earth was no exception. He went there at about 8:30 and remained until 12:15, Both the doctor and Mrs, Hills acoompa- nied him to the door and saw him cross the avenue toward his office. Gen. Belknap only used the bed room of his office when his family was away. When Mrs, Belicnap was in the city he slept at his home, 1020 Vermont avenue, There were at least three visitors at the general's office yesterday. One of the first of these was Jobn S. Bosworth of the National Tribune, an old personal friend, who was ac. ecustomed to making Sunday morning calls upon;his fellow-townsman, both hailing from Keokuk, Lowa, Mr. Bosworth went into the oflice shortly before 10 a.m. There was no sound in the general's bed room and after knocking once or twice Mr. Bosworth went away, leaving in the office Will- iam Parker, a watchman in the Census Oftice (aiso from Keokuk), who had an engagement with the general. Then C. C. Graham of the register’s oflice, Treasury Department, dropped in. He arrived at about 10 and.’ made a good deal of noise in endeavoring to arouse the sleeper.

BELKNAP’S HEALTH had not been good for some time past and he has had financial troubles, which worried him nota little, For nearly four months during spring and summer he was a sufferer from gout of the acute description. Even recently his hands und feet were con- siderably swollen and he was compelled to wear gloves and shoes which were several sizes larger than those he had used previous to his attack. Mr. C. C. Graham talked with him on Saturday afternoon and in the course of the conversation remarked on his improved ap- pearance, to which the general responded: “I am looking much better than I fecl.” Dr. Hills said he noticed that the general was at times abstracted on Saturday evening, and twice or three times he sighed quite heavily; so much go as to attract especial attention, The general had on hand a large number of claims which he was endeavoring to push through Congress, but last session was @ poor one for private claims and asa result his an- ticipate: income jailed to materialize. To relieve himself of financial bur- dens he sold some property on McPherson Square and that did not fetch as much as he thought it should. This annoyed him very much, especially when he found out that the man who had purchased had been offered 3,000 cash advance on his bargain, Mrs. Belknap and her daughter Alice have been in New York for some time. A telegram was sent there this morning to theVictoriaHotel and they are expected here this afternoon. The general's son Hugh is in Chicago, occupyinga responsible position in the management of t!

No ar- rangements can be made until Mrs. Belknap is heard from. A great many friends of the family called at the oiice this morning and many more paid visits to Undertaker Speare's to see the dy. eas DID BE HAVE A PREMONITION?
