Bemains Will Lie in State at the Cap ital ill Indianapolis Until Satur day. Indianapolis, 'March 13. 'General Benjamin Harrison passed away almost d'mperceptibly, without ithe .slightest struggle, at 4:45 this afternoon, sur rounded by some ofthe Intimate mem fbers of the family and Ithe physicians. Among those present in the death chamber at the moment of his diso lution were Mrs. Harrison, his daugh ter, Elizabeth, the (general's two sis ters and and ex -Attorney General Mil ler and wife. His son, Russell, dtid not arrive until after his demise. No final arrangements have been tmade about ithe funeral, but the re mains will lie in state at the capital until i&aturday. The remains will be interred at 'Grown Hill cemetery Sun day and -the grave will 'be close 'to that of bis first wife. THE STRUGGLE' WITH DEATH. 'Indianapolis, March 13. The oxygen treatment, by which, it was hoped that General Harrison's 'breathing might be eased to such an extent that the af fected portion of Ihis lungs might be relieved of the strain that deepened the infiemation while he would be enabled to recuperate a Tittle of the strength that was 'being continually worn away was administered regularly. While it did not bring results that were at any time encouraging it enabled ithe general tb prolong the fight. General Harri son gave no signs during the night that indicated that he Tecognized those about him or that he was suffering .greatly. A feature of the general's illness, -while a source of annoyance to the physi cians and to the family, is indicative of the solicitude the ex president has on the people of the -country, was the large number of offers and solicitations Which were received from' all sorts of quacks and cranks who are ready to guarantee that they have a remedy or system of treatment which would cure the general. Dozens of offers .have been received from: cranks who said that they possessed infallible remedies, and one of them even 'went so far as to wire that he was enroute to Indianapolis at his own expense to administer his treat ment. . The oxygen treatment which is being used in General Harrison's case is the same treatment that saved Rudyard Kipling from death from pneumonia when he was attacked by that crease about a year ago. In Mr. Kipnng s case a strong constitution and com parative youth enabled him to rally un der the treatment and successfully fight off the disease. Benjamin Harrison was of distin guished lineage. His grandfather, Ben jamin Harrison, was one of the sign ers of the declaration :otf independence. He was grandson of President William Henry Harrison. General Harrison was born' in North Bend, Ohio, Agust 20, 1833; was gradu ated in 1852 from Miami University; studied law in Cincinnati. In 1854 he removed to Indianapolis, Iid'.aua, where he has resided ever since when not on duty in Washington; gained a large le gal practice; entered the Union army (186') as lieutenant, and shortly after ward was appointed colonel of the Seventieth Indiana Volunteers, which he organized; served with gallantry in Amanita campaign, returning to civ il life at the close of the war with the of brevet brigadier-generai. In 1876 he was an unsuccessful republican candidate for governor Of Indiana, but in 1S81 was sent to the United States senate for six years. In 1888 he was nominated on the republican ticket for ! president of the United States, Witn Levi P. Morton for vice-'prebmciiL. (received 233 electoral votes to 168 for Grover Cleveland, the democratic nom inee the popular vote standing 5.439, 853 'against 5.540,329. Among the im portant measures adopted during his term were the 'McK'inley tariff bill, the ALL IN YOUR EYE Bring your eyes to us and we will stay the ache with a pair of perfect fitting glasses.

One of the mem-be "s of the committee said OUba har expresser no gratitude when thfe United States grant, ed independence. GIFT OF FIVE MILLIONS BY ANDREW CARNEGIE The Pittsburg Multi-MillioDaire Provides For Maintenance of Public Libraries Pittshurg, March 13. Two let - made public here today, one addressed Carnegie Company, 'and the other to t he people of Pittsburg. In the first Carnegie requests th ese gentlemen to accept the trust of five millions, the income of one mil lion to be devoted to the maintenance of the libraries in Braddock, Homestead and Duquesne. The incomie of the other four millions is to provide f or all employes injured in the Carnegie company's s'eTvice and for those de- pendent on any employes killed. The second letter tells the "good people" of Pittsburg that he has an opportunity to retire from business, which he thinks it is his duty to ac cept. He expresses the hope that his friends in Pittsburg will approve of his action, and says his heart is still with the city, and how best to serve it is a question that recurs to him every day. WAR BETW AND JAPAN PROBA London, March 13. The Daily News declares that owing to the Manchuri an convention relations between Buss ia and Japan are strained, and war seems not only possible but probable. It prints an interview with a "d istinguished Japanese diplomatist" who is represented as saying that un-less Russia makes some material con cessions to Japan a once, he is afraid it is impossible to avoid war. SENATOR PLATT TALKS OH HIS AMENDMENT Washington, March 13. 'Senator Piatt lof Conectnicut, author of the imuch-discussed Piatt amendment re lating to Cuiba, which is just now a theme of agitation in Cuba had a brief talk with President McKinley today re garding Cuba, and later saw Secretary Root. Mr. Piatt, wnen asKea concern ing the published criticisms appearing today from Havana, concerning the amendment bearing his name declined to enter into any discussion as to a particular criticism made by a certain distinguished Cuban leader, but on the general subject said: "The Oubans will see in the end that the amendments are as much in their interests as they are in the interests of the United States. They will see that in the end, repeated Mr. Piatt, to lend emphasis to this particular conviction.

Then the pary tried to enter the oar and che conductor tried to prevent them and tried to run to Fort Worth without stopping. He was treated roughly and they entered the car and secured the prisoner and the (Officers in change. A Johnston officer purled a revolver on the committee but was disarmed before he could shoot. After a lively fight the committee compelled the officers in charge of Henderson to a'ocompany them across the country 45 miles to Corsicana, changing horses and teams at Frost. Henderson made no attempt to resist when captured, and, although he knew that probable death awaited him, gave no signs of fear. The negro made a full confession af ter arriving here, telling how he went to the Younger home and attempted assault Mow Mrs. Younger fought for her honr; how, finally, angered at her .resistance, he attacked her with his knife; how the two children screamed in fright when they saw their moth er's lifeblood crimsoning the walls and floor, and how Mrs. Young fell across the dobr step. He then fled, but look ing back he saw his victim staggering down the road aimlessly, falteringly she fell and lay still. Then he turned and ran. The first train this morning on the Cotton (Belt -from 'Hillsboro was so crowded lit could carry no more. Run ners were sent over the county an- nounoing the arrival of Henderson, and people began swarming in the c:cy to take part in or witness the execution of the penaity to be inflicted on the ne gro. After his confesion it was decided to burn him at the stake at 2 o'clock, but news was received that Rangers' and troops were enrouite from. Dal'as and were due here 'at 12, and hurried 'prep arations were made to anticipate in terference. A railroad rail was driv en into 'the ground in the corner of the court house lot and boxes and wood piled around it and smarted with oil. The crowd had increasedabout 2,000. At 11 o'clock about 40 made a n?h from the jail across the street to the court bouse. In their mi'lst was the negro handcuffed. The men formed a circle, holding to the chain which com petely surrounded Henderson to pre vent the attempt of the enraged eo ple to get a.4- him and 'tear him to piec es. They rushed to the pile of wood and fastened the negro to the iron rail with wire and chains. Cans of oil were dashed over his eTothes- and dozens of lighted mait eh es touched to the inflam able material. At that time 'the fire alarm bell was rung and the stores of the cE y were deserted and the streets full of men rushing to the court house to witness the burning. Just before the pile was fired Ton way Younger, husband of the murder ed woman, jumped at Henderson and slached him across the face with a knife. As the flames which encircled the negro ran over his clothing the crowd yelled and Younger aarain at 'temrted to cut him with a knife. Henrlerson rolled his eye? so s to get a glimpse of the sa of angry faces which surrounded him and his hands moved slightly. It was about 10 min utes before he was dead. At nc time did he make an outcry other than one groan . TABLi: CHINA TF YOU ARE IN TERESTED IN THIS WE HAVE TWELVE GOOD. ALL OPEN STOCK PATTERNS, AND PRICE'S ARE RIGHT. J. H. LAW, 35 PATTON AVENUE .

A 2rec t s . 4 Phone C61 RUSSIA SPRINGS A SURPRISE j Instructs Minister in China to' Oppose Further Punish- ment of Officials- -4 v- First Decided Break in ihe Concerted Action of the Powers. HUNDRED THOUSAND RUSSIANS IN CHINA i EDICT ISSUED CALLING FOR SUP PRESSION BOXERS LEGA- i TIONS CONSTRUCTING FORTIFI CATIONS. 1 Pekin March 12. The minister's meeting today discussed the question of punishment of 'the nrovincia. offi cers primarily responsible for ;he boxer troubles. To the surprise of everybody the Russian minister objected to fur ther punishment of Chinese officials no matter how guilty. This is the first decided 'break in the concert of the pow ers. The Russian minister got his or ders from St. Petersburg. It is un derstood that he was instructed to aid 'China in leivery way in return for Chi na's signing an agreement :ec agnizing .ttussia s predominence in Manchuria. The Chinese -Deaee commissioners have endeiavored to minimize the agree ment in the hope of creating discord' among the ministers. The joosition of America and Japan in regard to further ; punishment of officials is uncertain, but all the other powers favor the iflietlon of punishment except Russia. Most of the foreign ministers believe punish ment should be inflicted in the interest of justice, declaring 'that if there be any yielding in the matter Of punish ment of the guilty officials the lives of foreigners in China will be insecure hereafter. Russia is expecting the arrival of further troops, and when they arrive she will make a demonstration in the (jtuiL or iecnia, mainly as a warning to Japan to keep hands off if she has any idea off hindering Russian aggres sion. It is estimated that at present there is one hundred thousand Rus sians in China. SUPPRESSION OF BOXERS. Pekin, March 13. It is reported that one of the cabinet ministers at teingan u Has telegraphed the Chinese peace! envoys here that news has reached i Singan Fu that Russia is ready to re consider some of the points in the Man churiian, agreement. Edicts have wen issued which will be posted throughout the empire for a period of two years, 'calling for the sup pression of the boxers. Local officials who fail to suppress anti-foreign dis turbances will be removed from office thereafter. Viceroys, governors and other high officials will" be punished for attacks on foreigners. Some legations have begun the work of construction of fortifications. Ger many is the most energetic in this Wurk. She is building extensive bar racks. London, March 13. 4:30 a. m. Fric tion has arisen at Tien Tsin. between the British and the Russians over a piece of land alleged to belong to th railway company and to have 'been in j possession of the company for soma years. ; According to dispatches from Tien Tsin the Russians assert that this land is part of their new concession, and I therefore Russian property. Mr. ; Kinder, manager of the railway, had begun to make a siding, but was stopped by the Russian authorities. He appealed to Colonel McDonald, who lef.Tred the matter to General Barrow, British chief of taff in Pekin, who rep'.i.d: "Carry on the siding, with armed force if necessary."
