DOCTORS DENY IT Symptoms Could Not Have Been Produced by Any Known Toxic Agent. IERE 1S A MYSTERY \ | One More Cause for Disturbance of| | the Merourial People of the | French Metropolis. Special Cable to The Call and the New York | Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gordon | Bennett PARIS, Feb. 21.—Some of| the Paris papers appear | greatly concerned because |a post mortem examination | |of the late M. Faure was not | made and let it be supposed | | that the death of the Presi- | dent must have been due more or less to mysterious causes. The rumor has |even been spread that he was poisened. Such a supposition is sim- ply absurd. There is no poison capable of producing the symptoms noficed in the case of M. Faure by persons who were with him in his last hours and by the five doctors who were called in. What poison could pro- voke an attack of apoplexy accompanied by alternate paralysis ? Professional !men will discuss the ques- |tion whether the apoplexy |was caused by cerebral | hemorrhage or by coagula- tion of blood in the blood vessels, and the supporters of each of these opinions will without doubt be able to bring strong arguments in support of each opinion. The hypothesis of poison must be relegated to the realms of fable, because it has absolutely no founda- tion in fact. A AUSTRIAN COKRESPONDENT MUST LEAVE FRANCE Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 189, by James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, Feb. 21.—As already cabled, the correspondent of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, Dr. Berthold Frischauer, has been served with notice of ex- pulsion. Figaro says it is not because he has manifested sentiments hostile to France, but because the Government intends by this step to hint to foreign correspondents that in future they will have to observe the most discreet at- titude in regard to the Dreyfus affair. Siecle asks “if M. Dupuy really thinks to improve France's good name abroad by such action.” It declares that “in- timidation of this sort will simply arouse the indignation of all foreign papers. The Spanish Government adopt- ed similar measures at the outbreak of the late war, but it did not change her defeats into victories, nor keep her smash up at Cavite from. the ears of the world. Will Dr. Frischauer’'s ex- pulsion make Dreyfus guilty or Ester- hazy innocent? WIill it prove that the Government desires to have light on the matter by trying to extinguish it on the other side of the frontier?” These comments are signed by M. Yves Guyot, political director of Siecle. They are followed by.an interview with Dr. Frischauer, in which he says: “The real reason for my expulsion is an article in Libre Parole in which my religion and even my physique were brought in question. The president of the council was called upon to expel ! me and M. Dupuy apparently obeyed. “I have never insulted France, nor like some French journals, dragged the President in the mud.” —_— LOUBET’S MESSAGE TO PARLIAMENT PARIS, Feb. 21.—General Davouet, Duke of Murstaedt, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honor, to-day invested President Loubet with the grand cor- don of the Legion of Honor in the pres- ence of all the Cabinet Ministers. | The Ministers met to-day with M.

HOMAS R.

T shall remain there only a short while. This, at least, is my intention at present. “I of course, have been informed that the people of Ventura County favor me as a candidate for the United States Senate and I am also reli- ably informed that there is a sentiment in my favor throughout the Southern part of the State generally. It is with a view of meeting the Southern Senators and Assemblymen and for the purpose of sounding their ishes that I presume I have been called to Sacramento. 1 will not Jeny that T am willing to become a candidate for the United States Sen- ate. but T want to add that T will only do so when it is made clear to me that the people desire it, as personally I have no desire to thrust myself before the public.

Its evident purpose in de above all is to be commended by every California at heart.” : Hon. Thomas R. Bard was born in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pa., December 8, 1841, the son of Robert M. Bard. an attorney of wide practice and acknowledged ability. He is of Scotch-Irish descent. The ad- Pent of his ancestors to this country dates back to 175. They were among the earliest of Pennsylvania settlers, and took a prominent part in the struggles of this country for independence. When the Civil War broke out Mr. Bard was located at Hagerstown, Md., which was on the border between the North and the South and in con- stant danger from rebel raids. and although' he had scarcely attained his majority he enlisted in the Federal army, taking part in the battle of An- tietam and other sharp engagements. His executive ability came before the observation of Colonel Thomas A. Scotf, then Assistant Secretary of War, who took the young man in his command, where he rendered valu- able assistance to the transportation department. In 1865 Colonel Scott in- duced him to come to California to take charge of his large interests in Ventura and adjoining counties, comprising in all about 277,000 acres of land. Mr. Bard managed these large estates until Colonei Scott’'s death, when he became his administrator, and closed out the property. He was obliged to give bonds in the sum of $1,500,000, all within the county of Ven- tura, but he had no trouble in securing the amount, farmers going on his bond for all they were worth. Had he defaulted the whole county would have been bankrupt. At the present time Mr. Bard is largely interested in the petroleum in- dustry of Southern California, and is one of the chief executives of the Union Oil Company. He is also president of the Bank of Hueneme and the ‘Hueneme Wharf Company. He was one of the incorporators of the first bank of Ventura, and also organized the Simi and Las Posas Land and ‘Water companies. o B R S SHCER SO SRS SRR SRCEE SRS S SO SRS r@#—o—«»wwlo B R S SR SR o ! 1 : é gaguietntutodutoteteteuatuteututuiutetnetototueTutututetolutotutetutuntutetutatututotetatutotututntutatntutaguutatn] -3-3-3-3-F=F=3:3-3-3-F:=3-3-R-F=F-F-F-F-F-F=F-2-F-F=F-3-3-3:1 | Assemblyman M. shamefully betrayed his friend Bulls | and violated the solemn pledges made to the Los Angeles convention one of the leading touts in the Legislature avowed that all of Bulla's men save | one were at heart Burns men and would ultimately vote for the Colonel. Now the fact is plain that Burns has not one man in the Bulla camp. The touts resorted to desperate meas- ures to force Mr. Bulla to indorse the caucus scheme. It was reported to Herrin that Bulla would be forced into line. When the ordinary arguments of persuasion failed threats were made. The intimation was thrown out that Bulla desired to retain his vosition as code commissioner, and his friends were given to understand that reten- tion of the place depended upon his attitude to the caucus scheme. The threat of removal from office did not swerve Mr. Bulla from his nurpose to fight to the finish in the cause of the people. He resolved to stand for prin- ciple at the cost of surrenderine an of- fice worth 24000 a vear. Burns has gathered in the weak and faltering. He is beginning to encount- er the men character and moral strength in the Legislature, and is therefore discouraged at the lack of progress in his scheme to organize a secret caucus. Thomas R. Bard of Ventura arrived here to-night. He went to quarters at 611 K street, which were reserved for him by Assemblyman Greenwell. In response to a message wired to Mr. Bard at San Francisco by Senator Rowell, the favorite son of Ventura came to the capital. He was welcomed at the depot by Mr. Greenwell and es- corted to the reserved rooms. Mr. Bard in speaking of his visit, said to The Call that he was not a candidate in the com- monly accepted meaning. He came here at the suggestion of his friends to look over the field and study the sit- uation. After consultation with them he would decide as to his future course in the premises. Shortly after 10 o’clock General Barnes called and paid his respects to his old-time friend from Ventura. The meeting was extremely cordial. Mr. Bard has a slight ac- quaintance with U. S. Grant, but is not acquainted with R. N. Bulla and Colo- nel Burns. As he expressed it, he has not had the pleasure of meeting either. Assemblyman Henry W. Brown., who had been voting for Charles N. Felton since the beginning of the Senatorial contest, to-day joined the Barnes forces and cast his first vote for the general. A round of applause greeted the change. If Mr. Brown had given in advance notice of his intention to join the cause of General Barnes there would have been a great demonstration in the joint convention, but the Assem- blyman’s distaste for anything like an ovation constrained him to keep his own counsel and thus avoid a display of popular approval. Immediately af- ter the adjournment of the joint As- sembly he was surrounded by mem- bers of the Legislature, who extended | their congratulations. All day long General Barnes has been receiving the most gratifying assur- ances of coming support. Among the messages received by wire was the fol- lowing from ex-United States Senator A. P. Williams: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Feb. 21, 1899. General W. H. L. Barnes, Golden Eagle Hotel, Sacramento, Cal.: Your splendid services rendered the Republican pa.rl{ for many years deserve recognition. hope and believe that you will be elected Senator. A. P. WILLIAMS. There was another change to-day in the joint convention which was not re- garded as significant by the average spectator, but to those who are familiar | with the undercurrent of affairs here and understand what is going on be- hind the scenes the change signifies something of importance to be devel- oped later on. The incident referred to is the vote cast for John Rosenfeld by Brooke of Sacra- mento, representing the Twenty-second Assembly District. Mr. Brooke is a Democrat or Populist, and at the be- ginning of the session was threatened by a contest for his seat, the contem- plated contestant being William John- ston. A promise was made to Brooke by parties representing the Southern Pacific Company that if he would get into line for Dan Burns for Senator the contest would be withdrawn, but if he did not so line up he would be unseatéd. The Call promptly exposed the scheme to corral a Burns vote in this fashion and subsequently the contest was with- drawn. About the same time The Call sounded a noté of warning that Demo- cratic votes for Dan Burns were being staked out under the cover of Rosen- feld, and that when Sam Rainey gave the signal the men voting for Rosenfeld would change to Colonel. Burns. The cunning play will bear close watching. The touts continue to work on the caucus scheme, but are making no progress. Efforts now are mainly di- rected to securing indorsements of the scheme from county committees. The resolutions are prepared in Dan Burns®
