WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1894—EIGHTEEN PAGES. TWO CENTS. DEATH WAITED LONG|4 GLoomy ouTLooK Passing Away cf the Head of the Orleanists. COUNT OF PARIS DIED THIS MORNING — +. Quiet and Peaceful End at Stowe House. HIS SUCCESSOR HAILED LONDON, September 8—The Count of Paris died this morning at Stowe House. The death scene was one of quiet and peace on the part of the count and of profound emotion to the circle of relatives about his bedside. During the night the count several times appeared to have passed away, so feeble was his pulse and so deadly his pallor. Dr. Recamier had the most extreme difficulty, frequently, in feeling the light beats of the heart, and the weakness of the distin- guished sufferer during his last hours w: So great that he was unable to speak, al- though he succeeded in making it apparent that he desired to utter a few more words of farewell to those arourd him. The touching scenes which were witness- ed at Stowe House on Thursday night,when the dying man was not expected to live until Friday morning, were repeated last evening. The family and the old servants of the family were all in »ttendance, and to each one the head of the royal house of France feebly sald a few additional kind words of farewell, after which the family knelt at his bedside and offered up heart- felt prayers for the dying He rarely, how- ever, referred to his approaching death, al- ways trying to soothe the sorrow of those around him. ° Now and then a-deep sigh would escape from the sufferer, and he would mutter the phrase often repeated during the past week, “C'est bien long,” equivalent to saying that he was weary of waiting for death and that his dread majesty was very slow in_coming to his relief. ‘This pnrase was characteristic of the ill- Bess of the Count of Paris. Death had marked him beyond hope for many days past; but the sick man lingered on, hour after hour, day after day, the light of life flickering fainter ever moment, until at last it gently went out, so gently, indeed, that some time elapsed before the fatal verdict was rendered by the attending physicians. Early in the night his mind seemed to be Perfectly clear, and he had no trouble in recognizing those present, to whom he was ever suggesting in new “orms his words uttered when the family gathered at his bedside for the last time, it was believed, on Thursday evening last. On that even- ing. which will remain ever memorable to the family of the dead man, he frequently and earnestly enjoined them to love each other tenderly, reminding them that united families are always happy families. The utterances of the dying man were so gen- tle, loving and touching that it was no wonder that they brought forth heart- breaking sobs from all who heard them. After the death of the count the following notice was posted upon the gates of Stowe House: “The Comte De Paris gradually sank during last evening and night. He suf- fered no pain and quietly passed away in the presence of his family and the prince and princesses at 7:40 this morning.” The remains of the Count of Paris will be buried at Weybridge, Surrey. The date of the interment is not yet definitely de- cided upon. The last sacrament was administered to the count by Monsignor Apulst, rector of the Catholic Institute at Paris, mother was one of the Indies in waiting upon the wife of Louis Phillippe. | A very large number of messages were | ispatched from Stowe House today after the death of the count to distant relatives and friends. Yesterday a telegraphic mes- Sage was received from a number of French royalists, who met and prayed for the ‘then dying mar in the old cathedral of Laval, capital of the Department of Mayenne, saying: “Present to Monsiegneur Le Duc DOrleans and Madame La Comptess De Paris cur respectful homage. Head of the Orieanists. The wording of this message, putting the name of the Duke of Orleans, eldest son of the Count of Paris, first, shows, it is claim- ed, that the royalists of France already regard the Duke of Orleans as King of France. ‘There are, however, two other pretenders to the throne of France, Don Carlos, Duke of Madrid, and Gen. DeBourbon, who styles himself Duc d’Anjou, and who claims the throne. ‘Their pretensions, tt may be added, | are ridiculed by the press and public of even royalist France. p ‘The bells of Datford Church and all those of Buc«ingnam parish, in which Stowe House is situated, were tolled iil the morn- ing. whose | It was at first reported that the remains of the late head of the house of Orleans | Would be interred in the maxisoleum of the | Orleans family, bullt by bing Louis Pnt- ! ippe in the chapel attached to ine ancient | castle at Dreux, twenty miles from Char- tres, in the department of Evre et Loir, | France; but permission had first to be ob- | tained from the French gov-rnment, and it 4s understood that the matter was discussed at a meeting of the French cabinet today.

PARIS, September $—The news of the death of the Comte de Paris reached this city at 8 a.m., and quickly spread through- cut France. The interest taken in the last illness of the head of the Oricans family Was very great In all parts of the country, and the details of the last hours of the dying man were received with universal sympathy. Life of the Count of Parts. Louis Philippe Albert D’Orieans was a son of the late Duke of Orieans and a grandson of the late King Louis Philippe of France. He wis born in Paris August 24, 1St4, and, accompanied by his mother, the late Duchess of Orleans, he witnessed the Stormy sceae in the French chamber which followed the revolution of February, ISS.

Says His State May Send a Republican Delegation to Congress—His Ad- vice is Against It Congressman Meyer of Louisiana, who is @ democrat, sees a very gloomy outlook for democracy in his state as a result of the sugar legislation of Congress. He thinks that the meeting of sugar planters in con- vention last ‘Thursday, at which it was re- solved that Louisiana planters should leave the democratic party gnd embrace republi- canism, may be the first step of a politi- cal revolution in that state. Mr. Meyer is mow in Washington, and when asked his views regarding the movement, this is what he said: ican Delegation. “It may mean that a republican delega- tion will be sent to the next Congress from Louisiana, and that republican presidential electors may be chosen two years from now. This movement is no more than might have been expected. ‘I'he democratic Congress has dealt shamefully with the great inter- est of Louisiana, after repeatedly promising to sustain it. ‘The party nas received strong and gonsistent support from tne state for many years, and the first time it secures complete control of the government pro- ceeds to inflict upon Louisiana the hardest blow she was ever given by iegisiation. We have not only been dealt unfairly with, but have been deceived; in a word, bun- coed. We were promised in the presidential campaign that the sugar industry should not be crippled by change in the tariff. “Then when the tariff bill was to be amended in the Senate there was a definite promise to our Senators that the bounty should be continued for this year. The crops of this year were started on that un- derstanding, investments have been made on that basis, yet the party to which the state has given its undivided support enacts a bill that will drive many of ‘ts prosperous business men to bankruptcy. Best Citizens Interested. “The men composing the convention are our best citizens, men who have been con- sistent democrats, who have always worked for the party and have made sacrifices for the party. I suppose they think that no party can give them worse treatment than the democratic Congress has, The repub- Mean party, ou the other hand, has enacted legislation under which the sugar industry has prespered. Republicans in this Con- gress have voted for the sugar bounty on all oceasicns and I think have done so con- sistently. So have the Louisiana democrats for that matter. It must not be forgotten that President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle have tried to carry out the obliga- tions of their party and to do justice to the sugar planters. The Congresstnen who have worked hardest against us have claimed that they wanted to take away protection from the trust. It would have been very easy to draw a schedule which would give reasonable protection to Louisiana demo- crats without giving undue advantages to the trust. Sugar is the ideal product for 4& revenue tariff. “Now, Congress holds a further menace cver our heads in the form of a threat to put sugar on the free Jist at the next ses- sion. No otter industry has been treated in this way. Can the democrats expect to re- tain the enthusiastic loyalty of the state under such conditions?” “How far is the new organizaticn expect- ed to go” “It ray make republican nominations for Congress this fall. No candidates have been neminated yet. The gentlemen who have started this movement only suggest co-operation with the republicans on na- tional fssues, and do not propose a state ticket, or local tickets.” His Person: Posi ym When asked to state his personal position, Mr. Meyer said: “1 would not advise our people to go into the republican party. They would do better to make nominetions for Congress on the democratic ticket, with the understanding that their representatives should act inde- pendently wherever they can serve the in- terests of their state best by doing so.” —_—__-2-+—_____ THE SPRINGMAN INJUNCTION. What is Alleged in the Bill Filed by Frederick Springm Frederick Springman today filed a pill in equity against Charles &. Springman, hts brother, and Wm. K. Woodward and Lewis Hopfenmater, trustees, for an ‘injunction and the cancellation of a certain deed of trust. On the 7tb of January, 181, the Messrs. Springinan, who had for many years been associated in the express business here, dissolved the partnersnip existing between them. ‘The terms of the dissolution, says the complainant, was the conveyance to him by his brother of all the iatter’s tnter- est in the business, in the firm's real es- tate, the good will of the business and all claims and credits thereof. The complainant further states that his brother also agreed that he would not en- gage in the express business thereafter in the District. Three thousand dollars in [cash and a promissory note for $1v,000, payable in three years, were given by the complainant to his brother in pursuance of the terms of the dissolution of their partnership. The note was secured by a deed of trust on parts of lots 2 and 3, square 639, and lot 9, square 637,upoa each of which pieces of property there was a prior deed of trust of $3,000, The complainant now alleges that his brother failed to observe the agreement entered into between them. He explains that for that reason he has refused to pay the note, and that the defendants propose next Monday to sell at public auction the property secured by the above mentioned deed of trust. The complainant therefore prays that the trustees may be restrained from selling the property; that the note may be cancel- ed and the deed of trust released, and that his brother may be enjoined and restrained from engaging in the express business in the District and from using the name of “Springman's Express.” Judge Cox granted a temporary restrain- ing order, returnable Wednesday next. — PROSECUTION FOR LIBEL.

SENATOR CAMERON More About His Alleged Presiden Aspirations. SENATOR JONES T0 BE HIS BACKER Project of Those Interested in the New Silver Party. THE HAYSEED POPULISTS The talk about the presidential aspira- tions of Senator Don Cameron cf Pennsyl- Venia upon a free silver platform, which was current jn political circles several weeks ago, is reviving, and in the light of certain recent events is assuming renewed significance. For some time it has been be- Meved that Senator Cameron really cher- ishes the ambition to head a new faction in @ presidential race, and had fixed upon the advocates of free coinage of silver to form his party. The Scope of His Scheme. At the time that Senator Cameron's sup- pesed plans were first hinted to the public little was known of the scope of his scheme and nothing as to the extent of his follow- In the abserce of sgh information much doubt was expressed as to the prob- ability cf his succeeding in enrolling the free silver men of the west and south under the banners of a leader who had been asso- ciated all his lifetime with corporate power and living in a financial atmosphere ex- actly the reverse of that which would be conducive to the growth of free silver ideas. It was hinted that they would be inclined to look with suspicicn upon Mr. Cameron for this reason, and be loth to follow to his halloo. Mr. Cameron's prospects were, therefore, somewhat shrouded in obscurity. A new light now appears to be breaking upon the situation. Events are unfolding and disclosing to a slight dezree some pects of it not before visible. Agencies which it is claimed are to bring about the an.algamation of the silver forces into a party which Senator Cameron is to head are now said to be at work. Senator Jones His Backer. A close friend of Senator John P. Jones of vada authoritatively stated to a Star re- perter that Senator Jones is a backer of Mr. Cameron's presidential boom. This state- ment, simple in itself, opens up a wide range of political probabilities when ex- plained. It is said that when Senator Jones takes his place at the head of the silver party, which he has recently joined, a posi- tion which, it is claimed, he will undoubted- ly oceupy by virtue of his prominence in national affairs, his efforts, after looking to his own senatorial interests, will be de- veted to an attempt to swing the silver party into line for bon Cameren., How suc- cessful he will be in this attempt is, of course, but a matter of conjecture at pres- ent. it Is clutmed that with the indorsement of Jones and his personal intercession in Cam- eror’s behalf, the suspicion which it is now admitted is entertained toward Cameron will be allayed and his path thereby made easier. Silver Party in the Senate. Politicians are agreed that the silver party in the Senate is soon to become a strong factor. ‘here are indications that reinforcements are already at hand, coming from the ranks of the republicans. Dubois ef Idaho is hinting about following Jones’ lead. Tellier and Wolcott are held to the republicans by a hair, and are believed to be ready for a movement in the direction of a silver party. ‘'hen there are the coming elections which will fill the vacancies in the Senate existing in the northwestern states. Every one concedes that the cam- paign in those states is to be conducted upon a silver platfcrm. 1f all of these plans toward the creation of a silver party are successful, it can readily be seen what a power it will be in the Senate. it is said by the silver men that tine dis- crimination is to be made against what they are pleased to call the “hayseed popu- lists.” ‘They explain this tezm as meaning those people who hold to the fantastic ideas of the subtreasury stamp. On a Basis of Financial Reform. The new silver men are to proceed, they claim, upon the basis of effecting a financial reform solely and by this means, and are to attract to their side a class of voters who would not join a distinctively populist move- ment, but who would go in for a change in the financial system. Of course, they expect to catch the “hayseed populists,” for free silver is a plank in the latter's platform, but they do not propose to per- mit them to dominate the councils of the silver men. it is this new silver party which Senator Cameron is said to nave in view in connec- tion with his presidential aspirations, and which, it is alleged, he 1s laying his plans e+. ADOPTED THE STATUTES, Important Work Transacted by the Supreme Lodge, K. of P. ‘This was the eleventh day of the eigh- teenth session of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias. The convention wili adjourn tonight. Already a resolution has been adopted that for the balance of the session speeches shali be limited to two minutes each, and that the rule that no member shail speak more than once on the same subject shall be rigidly enforced. The matter of most local importance today was the appeal presented by Col. Heiskell, com- mander of the first battalion, first regiment of Indiana, Uniform Rank, Knights of Py- thias, from the decision of the Pythian ex~ ecutive commitiee on the matter of prizes. As stated elsewhere in The Star, the com- mittee last night decided that the first bat- talion of Indiana was not entitled to the battalion prize. The appeal of Col. Helskell was teceived by the Supreme Lodge unan- imously, and a protest against the appeal was then entered by Supreme Representa- tives Richard Goodhart and A. F. Medford. These gentlemen took the stand that the Supreme Lodge had no jurisdiction in the matter of the drill prizes, and that the bat- talioa in question had not drilled in con- formity to the drill order of Maj. Gen, Car- raha, Several representatives, in speak- ing to a Star man this afternoon, said that the difficulty would end here, and that the Supreme Lodge could do nothing. The code of statutes was adopte third reading. The plan to raise the Pythian University at Gal was ay solicitation riptions from Knights of Pythias. The plan proposed was to a sess each knight 10 cents and to make the Supreme Lodge responsible for the collection of the funds. This was disapproved, but those directly interested in the university were authorized by the Supreme Lodge to request 25 cents from each Knight of Py- thias in the orde Representative after the funds for Tipton of South Dakota and Representative Gardner of »Wyonting were excuse] from further attendance. Several reports were submitted by the ¢om- mittee on laws. Representative Secrist of Arizona was excused from further ‘attend- ance. Reports were also submitted from the committee on unwritten work, and the council of administration were received. A resolution of thanks was- tendered to Su- preme Representative Philip Colgrove for IT WAS NOT CHOLERA Several Cases of Suspected Yellow Fever in Baltimore, The Precaution Taken by Surgeon General Wyman—Room for Consid- Surgeon General Wyman put an official epitaph on the recent Cumberland cholera scare today by announcing that the micro- scopical examination of the diseased parts of the body of Walther, the man who died, has proved conclusively that he was not a! flected with the Asiatic cholera. This re- sult was accomplished through a visit to Cumberland by Dr. Geddings, passed assist- ant surgeon of the service, who was present when Walther’s body was exhumed, and who brought the parts to Washington. He ecncluded his examination this morning and reported to Dr. Wyman that there was nothing to indicate true cholera. In fact, his examination was purely negative ex- cept that he found that Walther had eaten some badly prepa-ed food since his arrival in America, and that his death was due, dcubtless, to ptomaine poisoning: This 1s purely an individual ailment and is caused by taking a ptomaine poison into the sys- tem. As this can not be done by infection or contagion, there is not now the slightest chance of anything further being developed with regard to the Cumberland case. Dr. Wyman has wired the results of the exami- nation to the hea!th officer at Pittsburg, where the compantons of Walthe> are now in quarantine, and they will, doubtless, be released. He also wired Dr. Duke, the Cum- berland health ofticer, officially announcing that the direase was not cholera. But this Cumberland matter has gone only to be succeeded by another of conside! able import. According to the press dis patches of the morning a ship has put into port at Baltimore with yellow fever on board. One man has died at the hospital and the ship has been seni to the quaran- tine. The British steamship Tyzack, from Havana, arrived at Baltimore on the 31st of August, and, passing quarantine without trouble, was sent to her wharf. On Satur- day, the day after her arrival, George Her- man, fireman, was taken ill and was re- mecved to the general hospital and died on ‘Tuesday. Meantime, on jonday, Seaman John Wilson was taken ill with the same symptoms, nausea, headace, backache and lassitude, and on Wedn y Chief Engin- eer Poole and Donkey Epgineer Watson were taken In the same Way. They were also taken to the hospital, jbut the fears of the medical authorities had; become aroused and yesterday all three men were removed to the quarantine hospital: Several mem- -bers of the crew who hdd shore liberty were recalled and the ship was sent out to quarantine at Hawkins’ Point. Point to Yellow Fever. Dr. Wyman has already; placed himself in close communication with the cases, and said today to a Star reportey: “As to the Baltin cre cases, A received informatica yesterday from the marine#hospital surgeon at Baltimore and also from Dr. McShane, health commissioner, The latter kindly came over to Washington: last night, and remained with me an hour to explain the details of the cases more fully than he could by telegraph or telepfione. The sym) toms, as narrated by ‘Dr? McShane, an the appearance of the patients, as seen by him, strongly pointed to yellow fever, and the health commissioner was amply jestified in taking the very prompt and energetic precautions which he did. The ship was sent back to quarantine, the patients were at once removed to the quarantine hos- pital, the bedding which was used by them was destroyed by fire and the room which they occupied at the general hospital was thoroughly disinfected. The vessel arrived without cargo and without passengers. The crew are now all being held under observa- tion on the vessel, and Dr, McShane has obtained an accurate Mst of the very few persons who went on board while the vés- sel was at her dock, and is having them placed under careful observation. Ground. for Doubt. “It is now so late in the season that even if these cases are yellow fever there is no danger of an epidemic. 'While the symp- toms £0 strongly point to yellow fever as the disease, there is reasonable ground for some doubt. Even among. physicians ac- customed to seeing yellow- fever disputes have arisen in former cases as to the ac- tual nature of the disease, and in the case of the man who is said to have died at Baltimore of the fever there has been no post-mortem examination made. This, to- gether with the absence of one or two symptoms, leaves room for some doubt. In the conference with Dr. McShane it was agreed that it would be advisable to have Dr. John Guiteras of Philadelphia see the cases and act in consultation with Dr. Mc- Shane and the quarantine officers of the port. Dr. Guiteras is an acknowledged expert, and has made a Ife-loug study and a specialty of yellow fever, and in doubt- ful cases there is no higher authority as to diagnosis in the United States. His services were secured by the marine hos- pital service early this season for the very purpose of passing upon pny doubtful cases that might be reported. ‘He has now been ordered to report in Baltimore and to see the manner in which he presided over the Supreme Lodge in the absence of the su- preme chancellor. the cases In connection with Dr. McShane.

About Five Hundred Will Leave for Pitts- burg Tomorrow Morning. About a Thousand Others Are Also Ex- pected to Go—Cases of Dismissed Comrades to Be Considered. Everything is in readiness for the de- parture of the local Grand Army men to- morrow morning to attend the twenty- eighth annual reunion of the organization, to be held in Pittsburg on Wednesday next, September 12. Department Commander Nathan Bick- ford stated this afternoon to a Star re- porter that 500 is the final estimate of the number of Washington comrades who will journey to the smoky city. About 1,000 others, not members of the organization, will also go. The comparatively small num- ber is due principally to the fact that ow- ing to the numerous changes being made in the various government departments the men are really afraid to ask for leave just at this time. Had all conditions been fa- vorable, Commander Bickford says, fully double the number mentioned above would have participated in the reunion. Will Go Tomorrow Morning. The great majority of the old soldiers cnd their friends will leave at 8:30 a. m. to- morrow, although a number will wait until Monday, and there are others who do not intend to depart until late Tuesday night. Among those who will represent Washing- ton at Pittsburg are Nathan Bickford, commander; M. T. Anderson, senior vice commander} J, H. Howlett, junior vice commander; Robert Reyburn, M.

Raw- di No. 1; Kat Carson, No. ¥% Lincoln, N: . P. Morton, No. 4; George G. Meade, No. 5; John F. Rawlins, No. 6, and Charlies Sumner, No. They will all start tomor- row morning, with the exception of Post No. 6, which leaves tomorrow night. Jn addition to the above, a large number of comrades of the other posts will accom- the party to Pittsburg. PCommanier Bickford advises all those who desire seats in the parlor cars on the train which leaves tomorrow morning to secure them at Grand Army headquarters tonight and not wait until the hour of de- parture tomorrow morning, when it is not at all likely that such seats can be secured. Arrangements with the railrcads this year have been more satisfactory fore. The road furnishes a special train both and coming, a minimum rate, choice of route both ways, and any reason- able request in regard to stop-overs. As to Dismissed Comrades. At a meeting of the local delegates to thé encampment, held on Wednesday even- ing last, resolutions relative to the dismis- sal of comrades in this department were agreed upon. They will not be made public until after presentation to the Pitsburg meeting. In regard to the next encamp- ment, the Washington delegates are evenly divided between St. Paul and Louisville. Baltimore is already in the field and will make a strong pull for the encampment in 1897. The Maryland city is arranging for a centennial celebration to consume the entire summer of that year,and desires to have the Grand Army veterans there during the event. During the past week Maj. Brack- ett has visited Washington several times in the interest of the centernial and the encampment. Of course, Washington will stand by Baltimore solidly. That the visitors will thoroughly enjoy themselves while in Pittsburg is an assured fact. The people there are plain and hos- pitable, and will do all in their power to aid the old soldiers in making the 2sth an- nual reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic one of the most successful and pleasant in the history of the organization. _—>— DENTAL FACULTIES. They Meet and Pass Reno! Regard to Dr. Wel At a joint meeting of the medical and dental faculties of the Columbian Univer- sity, held Thursday evening, resolutions were unanimously adopted expressing the deep regret of those members of the fac- ulty at the university at the death of br. James C, Welling, the late president. The resolutions set forth that the medical and dental faculties joined with their colleagues in the other departments of the university, and with the citizens of Washingvon, in attesting their exalted appreciation | “of those numerous excellencies and virtues, both of heart and mind, which have caused Dr. Welling to be so conspicuously honored, admired and beloved by his companions and associates—honored as a man, admired as a scholar and beloved as a friend. In particular,” continued the faculty, “we gratefully recall the energy, industry and zeal with which he strove so persistently and continuously to promote the interests COMMITTEES APPOINTED ‘When Recorder Taylor was asked for an opinion on the attack made by the New York Cleveland democracy upon the negro league and himself he smiled broadly. “What's the use of my saying anything?” he queried. “The papers show no desire to treat me fairly. Now, I'll tell you why. The executive committee of the Cleveland democracy, which is really the whole or- ganization, consisted of fifteen members, one of whom, Dr. J. W. Thompson, moved to Connecticut. Eleven of these commtt- teemen met in Brooklyn recently and in- dorsed me completely. The papers didn’t say a word about it. A few days afterward three of the committee met in Albany and attacked me, and the papers immediately got full of it. The Albany Meeting. “A friend of mine, A. L. Myers, wrote me trat the only commitieemen presen, at the Albany meeting were W. H. Johnson, a Maiden Lane barber, who was a candidate for the office I now hold, and who left the republican party in 181, because he was re- moved from the republican state central committee to make way for J. 2.

Matthews, who was twice rejected by the Senate for the recordersbip, and hurried here to make another try for it when the Senate committee reported adversely °F ay nomination by a vote of 9 to 2, and J. Cromwell, from whom I have received at least forty letters asking for an appoint- ment in office, und to wham I wrote ten days ago informing him there was no place for him under me. The chairman of the Albany meeting was Garrett Logan, Matthews’ brother-in-law, whom Matthews got Recorder Trotter to appoint chief depu- ty in this office in Col. Scheyer’s place. Every man at that meeting was inspired by disappointment and by envy of me. But, pshaw, life is too short to bother with that kind of cattle.

It is singular that a negro like my- self, a Jew like Minister Hirsh, an Irishman like Patrick Egan or a German like Wash- ington Hesing ver becomes a ‘profes- sional’ of his racé until he Is appoltted to office.
