Waldeck-Rousseau died at 2:45 o'clock this afternon at his country residence | at Corbeil, eighteen miles from Paris, | from the effects of an operation, | which his medical attendants deemed | to be a final necessity. A similar | operation, performed in’ Paris some | months ago, proved partially suecess- | ful and the former Premier was well | enough to be removed to Corbeil, | where it was hoped that rest and the effect of the country air would re-| store his strength. The evil, however, | was not eradicated and alarming re- | ports regarding the condition of the distinguished patient had been cir- culated frequently. H When W .xl?m-k»Rm: eau was in- | formed of the nece y of another | operation, he received the news witn calmness and courage. The operation was performed at noon to-day by Pro- fessor Kehr, who s assisted by Dr. Armor and three French surgeons. It at first appeared that it would prove | successful and the patient was re-' moved from the operating table to bed, but the pulse became more feeble, and, despite the administration of in- jections of serum, the patient grad- sank and died without regaining ousness, t was summoned from Paris | to administer the last rites to the Min- ister, but he was too late. | | When the death of the Premier be- | | came known messages of condolence began to arrive. The first came from | Fremier Combes, who telegraphed: “I have received the news contained in your telegram with the keenest | grief. Please explain to Mme. W’al-; rde Rousseau the share I take in her | ing, which is the mourning of { all France.” Premier Combes decided to post- pone his departure from Paris and the Cabinet will meet to-morrow to con- | sider the deta of the funeral, which | the Government desires shall be of a | national character.
