"I NEVER MET A BRAVER MAN" Doctor Zumwalt Added His Appre ciation of Stevens' Character by Saying: "He Had Been Calm and Cheerful From the First" SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 26. Dur ham White Stevens, the diplomat, who was shot down by the Korean, In Whan Chang, on Monday morning, died late last night at the St Francis hospital, after an operation which dis closed a more serious condition of his wounds than had been apprehended by the surgeons. At his bedside when he died, be side the doctors, was the Japanese consul general, Chozo Koike. "This is mofct unfortunate. This is a great loss to Japan, Korea and to this country," were the words of Koike, as he left the death chamber, and Doctor Zumwalt, who had at tended, him, added his appreciation of Stevens character by saying: "He had been calm, cool and cheer ful from the first and entirely on complaining. I have never met a braver man." Until yesterday morning every hone had been entertained for Ste vens' recovery, but at 10 o'clock symptoms of inflammation of the per itoneum appeared and the surgeons realized that his condition had be come critical At six o'clock Stevens was taken to the operating room and placed under an anaesthetic. On opening the abdominal cavity the surgeon dis covered that the intestines had been perforated in six different places by one of the shots fired by Chang, and that the patient had no chance for recovery. Only once during the evening did Stevens show any sign of returning consciousness, when, in answer to a qestion by one of the doctors, he said that he was in pain. Then he relapsed and lay quietly until the end came at a little after eleven o'clock. Doctor Terry, Huntington and Zumwalt, who performed the opera tion, remained at his berside during the evening. Stevens leaves two sis ters, in Atlantic City, and a telegram was sent there last night, informing them of their brother's death. Consul General Koike sent cable- grams to his government, reporting the death of Stevens. In Whan Chang, the Korean who fired the shots which proved fatal to Stevens, when informed last night at the jail of his victim's death, received the news without surprise and with manifest delight. Since the day of the shooting Chang has been expressing the hope that Stevens wound might prove fatal Last night, when asked if he was sorry for what he had done, Chang LATEST Having returned from San Francisco with a splendid stock of spring and wmmer suitings of the latest style and having spent several weeks in studying the fashions prevalent in that city, we are now more than ever in a position to give thorough satisfaction to the most fastidious dresser. NOT IN WORDS, BUT IN DEEDS. HAUTALA & RAITANEN Tailors Corner Eleventh and Bond Streets said: "No: I am glad. He was no friend of Korea, and he is better dead". - . Stevens death will result m a charge of murder being brought against both Chang, who fired the fatal shots and Chun, his accomplice, who attacked Stevens as he alighted from his automobile at the Ferry Building. Chun, who was wounded by a wild shot from his companion's revolver, is at the Lane hospital where it was said last night that he was apparently on the road to recovery. BIGNAMI ARRESTED. Federal Authorities Trying to Trace The History of This Dangerous An archist SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 26.-One of the first fruits of the search for an archists in San Francisco undertaken by the Immigration inspectors and the police department in puruance of the sweeping order issued by Oscar S. Strauss, secretary of commerce and labor, March 3, was the arrest yesterday of Paul Bignami, a self confessed anarchist by Detective Rocca, who had been especially de tailed by the chief of police. Rocco found Bignami in a saloon at Stockton and Union btreets. Rocca learned that Bignami had been addressing weekly meetings of anar chists, advocating the destruction of the government and the annihilation of the navy. He placed the Presi dent, minor heads of the government and the police in the same category and believed they should be done away with. He also made boasts that the police had no terrors for him, and said that it would take at least twenty blue coats to convey him to any police station. Rocca heard him say this, and laying his hand on Big nami's shoulder,- placed him under arrest. Bignami, suddenly losing the thread of his crimson discourse, pick ed up his hat and followed Rocca with surprising meekness. DISTRIBUTING ANARCHIST CIRCULARS.

NEW YORK, Mar. 2S.-Her cap tain telling a tale of having drifted all the way around Cape Horn from San Francisco, the American full rig ged ship Wm. P. Frye made port yesterday. The Frye, says her skip per, never shipped a drop of water until four days ago when she ran into a smart northeastern off Cape Henry. Otherwise the voyage was a succes sion of light and baffling winds and dead calms. "Its the first time in my sixty odd voyages around Cape Horn that I ever saw such weather," said Capt. Murphy. His matc.IIer man R. Smith of Seattle, backed up the captain's story of the placid voy age by the exhibition of the mute but veracious evidence of the ships log book. NEW YORK TO GENOA. NEW YORK, Mar. 26. Carle De Peloggie, an enthusiastic Italian yachtman, is going to make an at tempt to cross the Atlantic in a 24 foot sail boat. The start will be made from New York harbor on July I and the ultimate destination is to be Genoa, Italy. The daring task that Mr. De Peloggie will undertake is the outcome of a wager between him and the Marquis Zanottc, of Rome. Tljese two yachtmen have long been rivals in Mediterranean races, and Mr. Paloggie made the assertion that he thought it possible to cover the long expanse of ocean between here and the birth place of America's discoverer, the Marquis offered to make the bet that he would find it too difficult a proposition for a boat of s osmall dimensions to navigate the long stretch. Mr. De Peloggie will be accompanied on his trip by only one person. His partner will probably be the Viscount de Le mouinior of Paris. Although there is no time limit set by the Marquis Zanotte for the ac complishment of the trip the young sailor says that with favorable weath er conditions he is confident of mak ing the port of Genoa in 40 days from the time of starting. Given up to Die. B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia street, Evansville, Ind., writes: "For over five years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely cured." Why not let it help you? : T. F.
