Much Excitement Caused in iParis by the Unexpected Event. Wlio WiU be His Successor?-ciamber ofBepnties wffl Vote oil Saturday - or Monday. Paris, Feb. 16. Felix Faure, sixth president of the third French republic, died suddenly from apoplexy at 10 o'clock tonigbt. He had been slightly Indisposed for a day or two - but did not consider himself reafly ill. The news of his death did not reach the public for more than an hour after it occurred. It fe impossible to describe the first effect Of the new nf thfe nneMidpnt'a deatl upon the public mind. The an nouncement that Faure was dead was first' received ' with incredulity: Con firmation followed swiftly and disbelief gave.way to excitement, almost terror, for the public leaped to the conclusion that' the presiden t -was the Victim of "an assassin, and. the majority believed the dreaded coun d'etat had faOlek For ait hour Paris believed tonvr-- row's tm would rise upon some form of I dictaorstUSi;?i PheiojEtiniew jrainea"cred-' entSe- ' and the, panic subsided, and crowds began discuss the effect of the death in the mdst of a great nation al, crisis. ' The personal feature of the calamity was subordinated, for -Faure was not regarded as a great figure in national history.. 'Etlll he was remark ably successful: ihK a delicate knack of keeping clear -of all the .complications of the terrible scandal raow blighting the national life, aithougfh it is well known he was opposed to a revision of the Dreyfus case. Tonight Frenchmen are asking each other what lis going to happen. The name often suggested tfor next president is that of Senator WaTdeck Rousseau. But another question is asked, "Will there be another president?" None but the ihopelesw pessimist gives a negative answer to this querry, ana it as aim- cult to ee how tonight's tragedy will ft do otherwise than embarrass any plot that exists to overthrow tthe republic. The national assembly will si Satur day or Monday and sit until the presi dency is nll'ed. Faure was in his study in the palace of the Eaysee about 5 o ciock tms ai ternoon when -he complained of fatigue and weaki&SfS. Dr. Humburt was call ed and administered ether, but declar- sA there was notJhiinGr serious about Faure's condition. Nevertheless he grew worse, and other physicians were summoned. Faure was conscious and reroernized his crime minister Dupuy, who hastened to the palace. The death 'agony began at 9:50, and Faure passed away ten minutes later. His wife, daughter and the cavil and military officials of the household were present. ' , are Satisfaction 1 8 gttin&r your poods fresh.

When the insurgents appeared this morning they came over the fields shouting "Viva, viva republico Fili pino," and made a -vigorous attack but were repulsed. After their laet attack they were seen to be carrying off their dead and wounded. Our troops were under orders not to pursue and simply held their ground General King took personal command of the troops engaged. . During the fight twenty-two Ameri cans were overcome by heat.
