G. M. PULLMAN DEAD
George M. Pullman Expires
Suddenly at Chicago.
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."
Italian Laborer Rejected.

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.

President McKinley has decided to

WEYLER IS STUBBORN
The Captain-General Refuses
to Yield Command.'
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. ' .

A I'lay That Fays.
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
