The Senate struck that pro- vision out of it and substituted tire trade aollar for that 384-grain dollar.” “If vou show me from the record,” in- (ermr;(ed Harvey, “of the proceedings of the Senate on that day that the Senate struck out that dollar we will stop this debate right here.” “] have not the record. The law when it passed bad the trade dollar in,” said Horr. “The other day when Mr. Horr said that the bill before the Senate, as shown by the ~Congre: nal Record, only had a trade dollar in it,” resumed Harvey, I replied that when I got to the Senate proceedings he would have to then retreat from that position and now he retreats of hisown accord.” He spoke of the history of the bill in the conference committee “where the dirty | but innuendoes to base the charge upon.

In order to make out their case they must make out that the best men of this Nation were a set of villains, and haye been for the last twenty-five years. [Cries of no!no!] Harvey proposes to do th'nt." After the answering of a few questions by Mr. horr the debate was adjourned to 1 o’clock Monday. ATTITUDE OF THE 50UTH. Republicans Will Not Demand Repre- sontation on the Ticket. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 20.—A Wash- ington special says: Blanche J. Bruce, who was the last negro United States Senator, and who was Register of the Treasury by appointment of President Garfield, has just returned to Washington aiteran extended trip through WO vas done and the conspiracy culmin- ated.” The committee was not supposed | to have reversed the action of the two houses on any points, but they had. They had taken out the 384-:rain dollar, the size | of the French 5-franc piece, the dollar that | was to “float around the world,” the dol- | lar that wounld have put our system on the | same basic ratio with France and the | Latin Union. The report of the Senate Finance Committee turned up so altered | as to show that the committee reported an | amendment to strike out the silver dollar | s0 as to furnish the foundation for the Con- | ference Committee’s fraudulent action, al- h the section is occurs | assed without any | Mr., Horr said he had never intimated | that the 384-grain dollar was notat one | time in the bill, but he denied that it was | y draft of the bill made anything but | diary coin and defied his opponent | to prove that the making the gold dollar the unit of value was ever erased | from the bill in any of the proceedings. | In support of his contention that the trade | ed for the dollar omit- | the b read a letter which he | received from Jasper Packard of New Albany, Ind., who was a member of | Congress in J 1873. { Mr. Horr declared that Mr. Harvey was | mistaken when he stated that the money | of the people had been stricken down. “I desire to say,” centinued Mr. Horr, | “that he or anybody else .who states that the passage of the law of 1873 ever resulted | in curtailing the silver money in circula- tion in the United States—[lsughter on thesilver side of the house]—states some- thing that is not true.” [Applause from the ‘gold side.] “We are a Republican Government,” said Harvey, “a Government for the peo- ple, and it is part of the policy and spirit of the Gevernment that when it is pro- posed to make a change in our laws affects ing the welfare of the people or changing a fundamental primciple, it is to be dis- cussed before the people,and the people are more or less to express themselves on it, not only know in advance that it is pro- posed to do such a thing, but know it when it is done, neither of which occurred in this instance, “When Ireach the proper place we will | see that what Mr. Horr has said about the immense coinage of silver has nothing to do with this question. You might as well ur token money on leather as to stamp it on demonetized metal. [Ap-| plause.] | “When your demonetized metal becomes | token money, representative money re-| deemable in gold, you are wasting mate- | rial to stamp it on a valuable substance [applause] because it is gold that it repre= sents. It has ceased to represent itself. | [Applause.] I am going to satisfy the peo- | ple and Mr. Horr that there was something | radically wrong about the passage of that bill. “Senator Thurman, on the 15th of Feb- rua; 78, in debate, said: ‘I cannot say what took place in the House, but kno when the bill was pending in the Senate | we thought it was simply a bill to reform | the Mint, regulate coinage and fix up one or another, and there is not a single man | in the Senate, I think, unless a member of | the committee from which the bill came who bad the slightest idea that it was even a squint toward demonetization’ (Con. gressional Record, volume 7, part 2, Forty- fifth Congress, second session, on page 1064). “Senator Conkling in the Senate on March 30, 1876, during the remarks of Sen- ator Bogy on the bill to amend the laws re- 1 g to legal tender of silver coin, in sur- prise, inquired: ‘Will the Senator allow a sub me to ask him or some other Senator a | question? Isit irue that there is now by law no American dollar, and if so,isit true that the effect of this bill is to make half dollarsand quarter dollars the only silver coins which can be used as legal tender?' . ‘Senator Allison; on February 15, 1878, said: ‘But when the secret history of this bill of 1873 comes to be told it will disclose the fact that the House of Representatives intended to coin both goid and silver, and intended to place both metals upon the French relation instead of on our own, which was the true scientific position in reference to this subject in 1873, but that bill afterward was doctored.” [Applause.] “I call Mr. Horr’s special attention to what I have just read. There is the testi- mony of a man who was present and among the men who were deceived—Mr. Allison, at present Senator from Iowa. Passed, did you say, in your opening, without the least taint of suspicion of its integrity? [Long applause] and that the records woula demonstrate that you were right? “What did you do with Senator Allison? He says the bill was doctored. Have not I proved to you that it was doctored by the records of the Senate. He says that it was the intention of Congress to put our coin- age system on the French ratio. Isnot that what I said? And'is not that what the bill would have done if it had passed, as I claim, with the silver dollar in their Senate? Sherman himself said, when pulled out of his hole, was on the French relation. I want you when ybu rise here again to address yourgelf to the language of Senator Allison. [Laughter and applause.] “Mr. Holman in a speech delivered in the House of Representatives July 13, 1876, said: ‘I have before me the record of the proceedings of this House on the passage of that measure, arecord which no man can read without being convinced that measure and the methods of its passage through the House was a colossal swindle. Tassert that the measure never had the sanction of this House and it does not possess the moral force of law.” “I want you, Mr. Horr, to make good your assertion that that bill had not about it the least taint of suspicion, and in mak- ing it good I want you to explain what Mr. Holman says about its being a colossal swindle.” Mr. Horr—T desire to say to the gentle- man that just what one Congressman or another may have said about this bill I neither know nor care [laughter and applause]. I know this, that the men composing the Congress of 1873, personally and individually, have every one of them denied the statement of the South. His object was to investigate the political conditions from a Republican point of view and to consult with the party leaders as to the course to be pursued by them in relation to the next National con- vention. The results and impressions of the trip were stated in an interesting man- ner by Mr. Bruce at his homein R street. | an aristocratic quarter of this city. “Delegates to previous Republican con- ventions,” he said, ‘“have gone from the Southern States making considerable noise | in behalf of certain candidates, and in my opinion have vprejudiced the chances of the men they favored. In theconventions of 1884 and 1888, you may reccollect, many of the Southern dtlegates were for John sherman, and were not at all backward in expressing their preference, but there was a feeling ameng the delegates of the North that they didn’t want the nominatien forced upon them by a section of the coun- try that could not give the candidate of the convention a selitary electoral vote. That feeling beeame se strong in 1892 at Minneapolis that a proposition was seri- ously discussed to disfranchise usin Na- tional convention by reducing the ratio of representation in accordance with the vote | of the State. “It occurred to me that it would be wise for the Southern delegates to go to the convention next year without having cora- mitted themselves to any candidate and witheut expressing preference for any, and after learning the preponderance of senti- ment among the Northern delegates, fall in with them so far asit was possible to do. “This view I set before the leaders in the Southern States as far as it was possible for me to see them, and I was both sur- prised and gratified to learn that they held the same view—that it was not a new prop- osition. 8o I feel that the Southern Re- publicans will go to the mext National Convention prepared to exercise more in- fluence than ever before, and at the same time arouse no undue prejudice against themselves.” “Will the Southern Republicans push the claims of one of their number for the nomination for Vice-President?'’ was asked of Mr. Bruce. “There is some talk of it now,” he an- swered. ‘“Henry Clay BEvans, who was elected Governor of Tennessee, was cheated out of the office; ex-Senator Powell Clay- ton of Arkansas, ex-Representative John W. Moore of the same State and Judge Nathan Goff of West Virginia have all been mentioned for the honor, but my ad- vice to the Southern Republicans is, ‘Wait until you can show the country some elec- toral votes from your section befors asking representation on the Natienal ticket.” ” “Is there any probability of the Repub- licans carrying any Southern States at the election in 1896?27 “Viewed in the light of present condi- tions,” replied Mr. Bruce, ‘I expect that they will carry Tennessee and North Caro- lina. They earried the former last year. Then, if the presemt division in the Lemo- ratic party in Kentncky continues to ex- ist, I see no reason why we shounld not carry that State. I confidently rely upon | adding these three States to the Republi- can column in i896. Arkansas Republi- cans say they will carry that State also, but I have no idea that the count will show a Republican majority, even were there a majority of Republican tickets in the ballot-box. “I found many Democrats all over the South outspoken in their criticism of the party management and expressing a deter- mination not to vote the National ticket again. Neverin all my experience have I found such a condition of things. Busi- ness men said to me that they were dis- gusted with the Democratic administration of National affairs; that with full contrel of all branches of the Government the party had so administered $he trust com- mitted to them as to reduce business men, in the South at least, to a worse condition than they were even i the years just after the war. Then, they said, they had some- thing, now they are utterly prostrated. ‘We do not agree with your party in many things,’ they said, ‘but we like your tariff | policy, and believe the Republicans can successfully manage the National finances. The Democrats certainly cannot. There- fore, as business men, for business reasons. we shall support the Republican ticket,”” “Did the proposition to nominate a Presidential candidate from the Bouth create any impression?”’ “Only an unfavarable one,” replied Mr. Bruce. “Ihad considerable fun with my Democratic friends on that subject. I quoted the Washington Post’s plea for a Bouthern man at the head of the ticket, and descanted upon tue advantages of Carlisle and Crisp. But they didn’t take kindly to it. They said: ‘You needn’t think you can fool the Democratic party with any such proposition as that. You know that all our prominent men were connected with the war, and that there is not the slightest probability of electing a man President of the United States who was engaged in fighting against it.” The Southern Democrat recognizes as well as any one the presence of sentiment in poti- tics, and realizes its force 1n influencing re- sults.” Hogg Denounced Cleveland. AUSTIN, Tex., July 20.—A meeting of free silver advocates was held here to-day to elect delegates to the Fort Worth silver convention, Ex-Governor Hogg denounced President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle. saying their action in selling bonds was verfidious. Ex-State Treasurer Luberick was among the delegates. Campos Thought to Be Wounded. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., July 20—A cablegram to the Times-Union-from Key West says: Private advices by (the steamer Mascotte state that ‘a special car closely coverea arrived in Havana on the 18th and some one was taken from the same and carried to the palace. The supposi- tion is that it was Martinez Campos seri- ouslv wounded, he being at the battle in which General Santocildes was kilied. The Spanish loss at this battle was 1000, It isalso reported that Suarez- Valdez, having been surrounded rear Jicotea by Maximo Gomez and finding escape impos- sible, committed suicide by shooting him- self in the head. His troops were com- pletely routed, some of them joining the insurgents. Reports of the battle between the in- surgents and Spanish forceson the 13th, near Bayamo, are only m r.

THE NEW WOMAN BURNED AS A WITCH AS A RESULT OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE SUNDAY LAW THE NEW YORK WORLD HAS VISIONS OF FUTURE FPO:SIBIL- ITIES IN THAT BENIGHTED CITY, OF WHICH THIS IS ONE. ASQUITH THEIR AN, Oonlinued from First Page. afterncon, and according to the present arrangements he will start for Paris next weelk, The Abyssinian mission to Russia, which has been causing so much disquiet, at length has left St. Petersburg for Odessa, on its way home. There is good reason to believe that Prince Dampto, chief of the mission, carries back with him a signed agreement, by which Russia guarantees the independence of Abyssinia, and that King Menelek now practically is a vassal of the Czar. There is no doubt, at any rate, that the diplomatic relations of the two countries have been put on a regular basis, and this of itself is a direct challenge te Italy, for by the treaty, coneluded at Uccialli between Italy and Abyssinia, the latter undertook to have no communica- tion with any foreign power except through the medium of Italy. This was in 1889, But the treaty was never recognized form- ally by Russia, which, therefore, claims to be at liberty to ignore its provisiens. The blase British gristocracy have turned eagerly to a new distraction. They are erganizing baby showsin which the en- tries are limited to infants of noble blood. The little lords and ladies are appraised carefully as to weight, size, number of teeth and beauty. The mest successful aristocratic baby show was held this week at the house of Mrs. Robert Crawshay. The fashionable world thronged the house, and the only ‘drawback was the absence of his Royal Highness Prince Edward from the exhibits. The first prize for weight and general excellence for babies under 1 year was awarded to Dermont Browne, the son of Lord Castlerosse, who, although but 11 months old, weighed thirty-three pounds. The prize for babies over 1 year was awarded to Angela Mildred Baring, the daughter of Lord and Lady Ashburton, who is 18 months old and weighed twenty- eight pounds and had fourteen teeth. There are still philosonhers among the Greeks whose wisdom is able to silence the murmurs of the masses. A Gréek Judge on theisland of Scio the other day decided two claims against a railroad for damages caused by a collision. One claimant was a man who lost his arm and the other was a widow whose husband had been killed. The Judge awarded 6000 piasters to the man, but only 2000 te the woman. When the spectators began to protest londly the wise Judge explained: “My dear people, the verdict must remain, for you will see it is just. Nikola has lost an arm and nothing can restore it, but you (turning to the woman) are still young and pretty. You have now some money and you will easily find another husband who may be as good, perhaps even better, than your dead lord.” 8o saying the Judge left the hall and the people ‘cheered him, Queen Victoria has been drawing largely upon her reserve stock of jewelry this week for the performance.of ‘‘Carmen,” given at Windsor Castle on Tuesday. Calve received a diamond brooch, Eames a ring, Ancona and Gilbert scarfpins, Stage Manager Atkins a turquoise and diamond pin, Acting Manager Forsythe a silver cigar-case, suitably engraved, and Conductor Marcinelli a silver cigarette- case. Finally Maneger Sir Augustus Har- ris has been made proud and happy by the receipt of a big gold and silver epergne. This looks almost like extravagance on her Majesty’s part, but, after all, a prima donna is fairly cheap at the price of one diamond brooch, and an entire opera com- pany cannot always be obtained for £100 worth of odds and ends. Besides, the sea- son is at an end, and there will be no need for this class of expenditure for the next six months or so. Those who remember the bitter quarrel last year between Calve and Eames are wondering how the two artists were in- duced to appear together on the same stage even in Windsor. Melba had been billed to appear with Calve in all the pub- lic performances of ‘‘Carmen,” but it is well known that the Queen will not permit Melba to appear in her presence owing to the singer’s implication in the Duke of Or- leans divorce case. - This was emphasized this week by her Majesty, who, in com- manding the performance of a certain opera at Windsor Castle, definitely speci- fied that this favorite prima donna must not be included in the cast. It isreported that the desire of both Calve and Eames to sing was strong enough to induce them toignore their feud for the time being. One of the two artists was told quietly that she would be permitted to appear only on the condition of suspending hostilisies. It will surprise those who imagine Eng- land the most law-abiding country in the world to learn that the kidnaping of chil- dren of poor parents is a very common crime in London. The cases have been more numerous than usual this year, but the police are doing little to punish the abductors. The children are stolen in order to make use of tneir services in Kent and Sussex during the hop-picking and fruit-picking season. Tge typical case last year was that of the eight-year-old daughter of a hard-working couple. She, disappeared suddenly, and the parents gave the little one up for dead. One after- noon about eight weeks later the girl walked in looking well and happy. Her story was that she was playingin the $600 streets when she was seized by a man, was gagged, placed inacart and carried off. That evening she joined several other youngsters and men and the party started onatramp for Kent, where they passed their time in hop-picking. When that was over the party separated and the man by whom she was taken away brought her home. The girl spoke warmly of the kind treatmentshe received and the goad food given her by her uncle, as the kidnaper was called. The first carload of California pears, which left Bacramento on July 2, arrived in London on Thursday in excellent con- dition. The English pear crop will be al- most a failure this year, and the market for California fruit will be most profitable, The tyranny of the private water com- panies which supply London is almost be- yond belief. The eompany supplying the East End which cut off the water several weeks last winter on aecount of the frost in the pipes, buried only a foot below the surface, now has shut off the supply ex- cept for two or three hours daily en ac- count of the drought., The real eause is the short-sighted failure te make provision for the increasing demand. The reporis of the suffering caused by the deprivation are supplemented to-day By the news that an epidemic of fever has made its appearance in the district, and most serious conse- quences are threatened. < These water supply menopolies are in proportion to the capital invested the rich- est corporations in the world. The law enables them to coliect fuld rates from pa- trons whether the water is supplied or fict, and they never make the slightest conces- sion. Popular exasperation over this situation in London has been at high pres- sure for months, Btrangely enough, the radical politicians who have been in con- trol of city and National politles for the last three years have been so busy leoking after the morals of the people that they have had no time to give in righting this evil. The opposition to the construction ef a railway to the summit of the Jungfrau has failed. Nearly the entire capital of 9,000,- 000 francs has been subscribed, and the plans are finished for the firsy section of the road. Work will begin next month, Hypnotism was the ground of the con- test of the will of a widow named Guin- drant in Lyons this week. She had left her emtire property to a couple who, the relatives said, secured the execution of the will by putting the woman into a hyp- notic trance. The .Judges, after evident hesitation, decidea agaimst recognizing this form of crime, They said that while some investigators declared that anybody might be hypnotized, athers asserted that only epileptic or neuroiic persons could be. so treated, Still, others had denied that the so-called hypnotic phenomena existed. Under these circumstances the Judges pre- ferred to wait until the facts were better established. CHAMBERLAIX, OF INYEREST 70 THE COAST. Appointment of Two Important Army Retiring Boards.

That Is What Germans Will Do at Every Battlefield of Note. BAD BLOOD STARTED AT KIEL Soclalists Preparing to Rally In the Agrarlan Districts of Dis- content. BERLIN, Germaxy, July 20.—Following yesterday’s celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the declaration of war by France against Prussia, on July 19, 1870, the programme of the fetes in commemo- ration of the Franco-German war includes the celebration of every great German vic- tory and every other great event con- nected with the war, beginning with the celebration of the bloody battle at Wissem- burg on August 4 and ending with a grand jubilation upon the anniversary of the battle of Bedan on September 1. Large bodies of veterans will g» to Wissemburg, on the Bavarian frontier of Alsace, to take part in the anniversary ceremonies there, and will then proceed to the different battlefields for the purpose of reviving old memeories. -August 14 and 15 will be ob- served principally as decoration days on the fields of Gravelotte, St. Privat and Mars-la-Tour, when the graves, tombs and monuments of the Germans who fell on these fields will be covered with flowers and wreaths by their families and suryiv- ing comrades, A conmgress of various veterans’ unions will be held at Strasburg during the fetes commemorating the fall of that city, when bronze medals, struck from the French cannon which were captured there, will be given to the veterans on behalf of the War Office. The railways have agreed to fix an especially cheap rate of fare for the vet- erans who attend these fetes, and the gen- eral public will also get the benefit of cccasional cheap trips. The importance and significance of these, demonstrations lie in the fact that they have been organized by the Government and largely extended since the celebration of the opening of the North Sea and Bal- tic canal at Kiel, when several unpleasant incidents eccurred in connection with the French warships, and that the Govern- ment has decided that these celebrations shall not be in the slightest degree re- strained on account of any sensitiveness on the part of the French. The annual congress of the German so- cialists will meet on October 6 in Breslau, where Ferdinand Lasalle, the great Ger- man democratic lea der, is buried. Lasalle is the ideal of the Socialists of Germany. His memory is still petent to stimulate their oratory, and so long as they can hear themselves talk they are as happy as so- cialists can be in this world. , The execu- tive -committee of the Socialist party se- lected Breslau as the place of meeting re- ally en account ef the proximity of that city to the agricultural districts, in which the farm laborers are the worst paid and most discontented of any people of that class in the country. Fer the first time the Socialist party’s programme gives the chief prominence to the needs of the agrarian population. It proposes the abolition of financial and political privileges now enjoyed by the lamdlords; the extension of com- munal ownership and administration of land by the State commune, the nationalization of mortgages and the re- duction of interest thereon; State insur- ance against agricultural losses from storms, cattle diseases, etc.; and the com- pensation for damage sustained through the incursions of privileged hunters in search of game. The difference between this ‘programme and the ones previously formulated by the party lies in its subordination of their usual theoretical declarations in favor of nationalizing everything to more practical purposes. Their propaganda contains nene of the old resolutions denouncing the holding of private property and conse- quently many reformers outside the lines of socialism will be able to give their ap- proval to a large part of the programme, which was molded by Herr Vollmar and other moderates among the malcontents, The more extreme section of the party will be sure to raise a hurricane in the congress unless the more fervid ones are allowed to blow off their steam in a series of idealist declarations, but having done this to their satisfaction they will subside as before, into a state of harmless discon- tent. . ‘The Vorwaerts, the Socialist organ, says the meeting will give impetus to the pro- paganda among the laboring classes and will soon win them over by the wholerale to socialism. The paper does not take into account, however, the universal dis- trust of Bocialists among the peasantry. The seat of Baron von Hammerstein, the deposed and abseonding editor-in-chief of the Kreuz Zeitung, in the Reichstag, is about to be declared vacant, but the Rhine Gazette announces that the Conservative electors of Minden are on the eve of hold- ing a meeting to demana his resignation. A curious circumstanoe attending the fall of Baron von Hammerstein is the fact that while he was a strong anti-Semite and a leader of the Jew-baiters his enormous private expenditures were due to his re- lations with a Jewess, upon whom he lav- ished every luxury that wealth could pur- chase. The report that Berlin bankers are largely buying the Russo-Chinese loan is without foundation. Of the loan finan- ciered in London a million sterling was is- sned here and the National Bank repeat- edly covered it, bus the Bourse almost ig- nored the Chinese loan issued in Paris. The statement made by Herr Brandt, formerly Minister to China, in regard to the bad financial future of the Celestial kingdom,is doubtful as to the value of any guarantees that the Government of Peking can offer for future loans. Herr Brandt expects & certain increase in the Chinese import duties, which will seriously affect the foreign trade. According to advices from St. Petersburg, the Czar, upon hearing of the assassination of M. Stambouloff, summoned the Bul- garian mission which is now in St. Peters- burg, and in a few fiercely uttered words denounced them and their Government for murder. The practical result of the mis- sion is that Russia will appoint official agents in Sofia and Bourgas, but will refuse in the meantime to recognize Ferdingnd as Prince of Bulgaria. Russia will, however, officially recognize the Government of Bul- garia as it is established and assume the relatious with that country which were | broken off in 1888, The Hamburger Nachrichten declines to join in the chorus of (German newspapers which are charging Russia with having incited and assisted ana plotted against the life of M. Stambouloff. *“What is the object,” says Prince Bismarck's organ and mouthpiece, “of praising Stambouloff and accusing Russia of complicity in this crime? Stambouloff never did anything for Germany, and Russia will surely reseat this abuse.” The Governments of Germany and Ause tria have decided upon holding an inter- national conference, with a view of settling the questions concerning the payment of export bounties on sugar. The Govern- ments of France, Belgium and Russia have been invited to take part in the conference. Emperor William arrived at Hernosand, on the Swedish Island of Herno, to-day. His Majesty has timed his trip so that he will arrive at Kiel on July 28 and pass through the canal on August 2. Afterward he will go to Cowes to be present at the regatta, Count von Rottenburg, Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior, who is the husband of the daughter of the late William Walter Phelps, formerly United States Minister to Germany, still adheres to his decision to re- tire from office on account of ill health. Although pressed to remain in office, in the meantime taking an indefinite leave of absence, he pleads that his health is so broken down that he will not be able at | any time to resume his official duties ex- cept at the risk of his life. He will, there- fore, positively end his official career in October.

Mrs. Mary Mullen, | aged 74, mother of Edward, Patrick and Michael Mullen, well-known tobacconists, was attacked_in her bedroom by some person unknown and killed by a piece of stout two-inch hemlock stick. She was found at 20 minutes ef 11 o’clock by her son, Patrick Mullen. She Iived for two hours, unconscious to the last. person which was not taken. A girl named Sarah Brown, better known as Sallie Swann, was arrested. She had lived until Monday night with the Mul- lens, and left because Mrs. Mullen was hard to get along with. It is not probabte that she is the crim- inal, as she claims she was asleep with another girl at Dr. 8harp’s residence, and | is coel and denies the crime, and accounts for her whereabouts in the evening. | An unknown man was seen to enter Mullen’s yard. There is no motive for the crime, as far as is known. There was great excitement, owing to the large acquaint- I ance of the Mullen brothers and the cold- | blooded character of the crime. The vic- tim was a Union soldier’s widow and drew a pension. . SUDDEN DEATH OF A TRAVELER. John Walgamat Expires While on His Way East.
