HEART DISEASE WAS THE CAUSE He Retired Aapparently In Good Health last Evening and Waa Dead at ' 4:30 O'clock This Morning. - Chicago. Oct. 9. Genre M. Pallman died suddenly of heart disease this mom ing in bia magnificent brownstone home at the corner of Prairie avenue and . Eighteenth street. He retired last even iDg at the nsnal honr, which was some what early. He was apparently, in or dinary health, and there was no indi cation of his demise or indeed any pre monition even of illness. While seem ingly in good health, however, Mr. Pall man has been complaining daring the last three or four days -of the hot spell of feeling rather uncomfortable. After leaving his office at 5 P. M. yes terday, Mr. Pullman remained at his residence all the evening. About 4 :30 this morning he awoke' and called bis body servant to his bedside and again epoke of feeling uncomfortable, Finally be requested that the family physician Dr. Billings, be sent for. In the mean time Dr. Charles Eton, of New York, an intimate friend of the Pullman family and who waa visiting at their home went hurriedly into the sick man's bed' chamber. Mr. Pullman grew rapidly worse and a second message was Bent for Dr. Billings. Before the doctar could reach the house Mr. Pullman had be come unconscious, and he never ral lied. Mrs. Pallman, who was in New York, waa immediately telegraphed and is now on her way to Chicago. She ia expect ed to arrive in Chicago tomorrow fore noon on the Pennsylvania limited. She has been spending the eeason at the Pallman summer residence, at Elberon, K. J., bat went to New York a few days ago, preparatory to coming west for the winter. Mr. Pallman, while in apparent good health recently, formerly had some some stomach trouble which he attributed largely to the condition of hia eyes. His belief was that about all the bodily ills were due to the eyes. During the early part of last week he gave the visiting officials of the PennBylv inia road a din ner at the Chicago club, and was in ex cellent spirits. . It is believed in local stock exchange . circles that Horace porter will succeed Mr. Pallman as president of the Pall man Car Company.' Pullman's fortune is variously estimated at from $30,000,- 000 to $40,000,000. LDET6EBT JURY STILL OCT. Present Indication Point to a greement. Dlsa- Chicago, Oct. ' 19. The jury in the Laetgert case has not reported Up to 2 P. M. Shortly before 1 o'clock the ju rors gave their orders for dinner. This would seem to indicate that - they were some distance from a verdict. The be lief is strengthening rapidly that the re sult of their deliberations will be a dis agreement. Luetgert was astir early. He soon lit a cigar and seemed in fairly good spirits. - To an Associated Press reporter Laet gert said : "I slept well last night and ate a . hearty breakfast. I believe I . shall be acquitted, bat yoa can't tell what a jury will do after all." . One by one the counsel in the case ar ived in the courtroom. At 10 o'clock Judge Tnthill sent word that he would come to the courtroom immediately on notification that his presence was de sired. Shortly after 10 o'clock a baliff came from the jury room and secured from the clerk an envelope and the blank form of a verdict. A, rumor was in cir culation that the verdict waa signed, but afterwards one or two of the jurors changed their minds, , so that the ver dict waa torn to pieces. The court room began to fill np about midday. Many notable men crowded in and remained some time in the hope of hearing the verdict. - The monotony of the weary waiting for the verdict was broken by the ar rival of Judge Tnthill. He had been sent for by State's Attorney Deene. The jadge did not call the court to order, but retired to a private room, where had a consultation with - Judge Vincent and the state's attorney, Judge Tuthill afterwards announced that he had fixed 3 o'clock as the time he would return to the crimina' court building. Judge Tuthill remarked that if the jury did not agree this afternoon be would keep them out all night again. At 1 :30 this afternoon, State'a Attor ney Deene iniormed : the Associated Press that the latest and best informa tion he had on the attitude of the jury wag that eight stood for conviction and infliction of the death penalty, "and that four were holding out for acquital. Deene said that a verdict was reached by this evening, bat he did . not expect a return until tomorrow. Sentiment Voiced by Henry George. t: New York, Oct. 20. Whiting to a (German-American political club, Henry George says ; ' . "I do not believe in any excise in any form. The attempt to prevent people from drinking by taxes and excises ou liquor increases costs, promotes adulter ation and defeats, I think, the very end it has in view. All Guch taxes are pro motive of monopoly and corporation's. Besides what goes to the government from them, a -much larger amount is taken by privote parties, who find a profit in the maintenance of taxes.- As was the case with our whiskey tax, it ia also with all taxes of that nature. The difficulty is not to institute them, bat to repeal them. Licensee have alwaya in stituted and must alwaya inetitute an element of corruption which ia made to furnish means by which political rings maintain themselves. 'I am a free-trader in the full sense of the term, and put everything upon the basis of equal rights. I think that the province of the government is to prevent one individual from interfering with the equal rights of another. As to the ques tion of Sunday closing, I believe in indi vidual freedom. Those persons who wish to go to church on Sunday should not be interfered with in any way by a person who wishes to sell or drink liquor on Sunday ; the person who wishes to sell or drink liquor on Sunday should not be interfered with by the person who wishes to attend church. 'The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. The law should merely see to it that liquor-sell ing ia conducted in decency and in or der. "A man's conduct ehould be governed solely by his own conscience, so long as he preserves the public peace." Speaking at a mass meeting at Majest ic hall, Henry George says : 'For the republic now I care nothing bat it is to the republic that is coming that I bow down to worship. Not a re public of tramps and millionaires; not a republic where one man has the power ofaczar; not a republic where women faint and children go hungry ; not to this republic bat to the one which is yet to come, a republic of God, a christian republic in the true sense of the word."

Address:" MONEY-BACK, SAN FRANCISCO. WILL MAINTAIN ORDER i - Part of Alaska to be Placed THE ADMINISTRATION SO ORDERS St- MlcbaeU Included In the Reservation CItII Authorities Unable to Enforce the La'ws. Chicago, Oct. 20. A Special from Washington says : President McKinley will issue an or der placing a large district in Alaska, of which St. Michaels will be the center, under the control of the military arm of the government. By this action the authorities believe that the lawlessness feared aa a result of the rush of gold- seekers to the great Northwest territory will be suppressed. The proposed mil iUrv district will be about one hundred rrmles square. The determination to issue the order was arrived at, it is said, at a cabinet meeting. While no official reports of anything but a peaceful condition have reached the cabinet, private communi cations from responsible parties have convinced the authorities that some thing more was necessary . than civilian rule. ' The authorities say that offenses committed within the bonndariea of the district to be described by the president in his order, will subject those respon sible to the military, and prosecution by the civilian, authorities before whom they will be brought. The department is making an exami nation of the geographical condition of the country in the vicinity of the month of the Yukon, to obtain data that will enable it to prescribe exactly the bound aries of the proposed new ' reservation. It is also desirable to limit the reserva tion to the smallest dimensions that will take in St. Michaels for a center, and yet include the estuary of the Yukon, where the lawless element might gather if excluded from the town itself. There will be little excuse for the com mission of lawless acta based on starva tion within, the limits ot the new reser vation, for Secretary Alger has author ized the officer in command of the troops at St. Michaels not only to feed miners who may be in actual need, but to ship them out of the ' country if they are nnable to pay their own way, The war department also proposes to establish an army . post on the Yukon river, but this wiil not ' be done before next spring. The Order Will Issue Today. . Washington', Oct. 20. The secretary of war will today issue an order creating a military reservation in that part of Alaska lying within, a radioua of fifty miles of St. Michaels. . The purpose is to confer UDon Lieutenant-Colonel Ran dall the legal authority to . preserve or- der and protect property ia this sec tion of the country. LIE WILL. RETURN TO CUBA.

EFFORTS TO DISPLACE HIM FAIL He Defies Sagasta The Orders of the Premier Calmly Ignored His Hand Revealed. ' New Yokk, Oct. 21. A dispatch to. the Herald from Havana eaya : , In epite of all bia protests to the con trary, General Weyler, when it comes to the actual test of resigning bia command, exhibits decided reluctance. : He has refused to give over authority as captain-general to bis successor, Jiminiz Castellanos, ' although peremptorily or dered to do so by the Spanish minister of war. The situation is critical. , Sa gasta cannot, it ia believed, permit his ministry to be openly defied by General Weyler, and yet he may have to resort to extreme measures to remove the cap tain-general. Castellanos arrived in the capital late Monday night. He bad been appointed by the Spanish minister of war to re place General Weyler until "General Blanco arrived in Cuba. Castellanos was in the field when the appointment came, but he immediately started for the pal ace. In some unaccountable manner a man-cf-war sent to- fetch him was re tarded. Castellanos proceeded to the palace Tuesday morning, expecting to be sworn in as captain-general, but it was very soon apparent that General - Weyler did not attend nothing of the sort should happen. He made excuses and hesitated nntil Castellanos was provoked to cable the situation to Madrid. A re ply came quickly. It was a peremptory order that General Weyler should va cate, and that the newly appointed man shonld assume command at once, Bat even then General Weyler did not obey. ' He told Castellanos that; before he would hand over the office he must have a written statement from bis suc cessor to the effect that the four western provinces bad been pacified. -Castella nos had been in the field and new the truth, and refused to sign any such doc ument. - . This happened Tuesday evening. Gen eral Weyler ia still captain-general, and in effect defies anyone to divest him of his authority. Weyler'a friends assert that he will not relinquish bis command until a few hours before the time he has fixed to sail for Spain, The date of bis departure is now fixed for October 30th. But it was once before fixed for the 20tb. There is time for much to happen before General Blanco can arrive. General Weyler entertained the colo nels of the volunteer forces at a banquet in the palace Monday night. It wbs a splendid affair, and the winea were of the best. Weyler made a speech full of insinuations. He attempted to justify himself beforehand for anything he may do to prevent the Spanish premier from carrying out what he felt was a policy that would bring distrust to the beloved country. There is little doubt that the volun teer forces in Cuba are with General Weyler. He has looked after them well ; he has uniformed them and armed them and they enjoy many privileges. They j have a good deal to loose and nothing to gain if the Cubans are given a liberal voice in the government. The volunteer force is composed chiefly of petty office holders, clerks, waiters, laborers, port ers, etc. It numbers in Havana alone more than 30,000 men, a well-drilled and strong looking body of men. With them General Weyler is a power. " In the meantime the rebels are ready and eager for the winter campaign. The movement westward is slow but sure. Indeed, it is significant that General Gomez is not following his ns nal tactics. Heretofore bia westward marches have been bold, swift dashes, with the advancing force split up into small bodies, but this time it ia differ ent. There is something solid about the very slowness of the movement. It betokens heavy baggage trains ; it n.eans artillery ; it means the laying of a per manent base of supplies; it means that the rebels are coming to stay. The vanguard of the invading army has been reported near Santa Clara city. ' .

Monday night at the Vogt opera bouse King Laughter . will inaugurate bia merry rule, for comedy of the 'brigbest and breeziest kind will be offered in the play "Sam'l of Posen," in which the celebrated comedian, M. B. Curtis, will be the bright particular star. It must ba quite a grind to even as conscien tious and capable an actor aa is Mr. Curtis, to appear In one play night after nigVit during a period of seventeen con secutive years and speak the same dia logue, go through the . same comical grimaces, perform the same gestures, and burst into hilarious enjoyments of certain stage situations. It mast in that length of time become more or less distasteful to him. After the first year or so all the novelty must wear off, and the - hard, never-changing duties, it would seem, would become quite nncon- . genial, unless the actor waa particularly enraptured with the role he portrays, and thia rapture given an especially pleasing seasoning on account of by ap- ' penring in such role it is the means of bringing forth another very large role composed of good and lawful United . States money. "Sam'l of Posen" has made a half million dollars for M. B. Curtis. See it, and yoa will not be sur- prised. . A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused bim to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous be took' immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the -mediciue. To say that it was satisfac tory in its results, "is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent care.- We have no hesitancy in recom mending this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in any form.
