He favored the passage nizing it now and by restoring inde- of the bill because he believed the re- suits of its operation would be beneficial to the people of the entire country. ! McCumber and Depew spoke in advo- eacy of the measure. McCumber favored the bill because it was calculated to benefit the farmers, inasmuch, he de- declared it would result in a reduction of freight rates on farm products. De- I pew in a lengthy speech sitrongly urged , the passage of the bill. He reviewed , the aid given by forign countries to their i shipping interest in the way of mail subsidies.

"Con gress," said he, "attempted to steal something, and the conference prevented it." Mr. Crumpacker (Ind.) contended tha the recasting of the section of the bill complained of was necessary to make it constitutional. He did not believe the conferees had intended to deceive the house. ; i Mr. Griffith, (Ind.) who was one of ' the conferees on the bill, called atten- tion to three decisions of the supreme court which would have nulined sec tion five, as agreed to by the house and and senate. Under the cimcumstances, therefore, he said, it was the duty of ithe conferees to perfect the section so as to reflect the legislative wall and intent. The conferees, he said, thought they were doing so and for himself he said it was far from his purpose either to deceive or mislead the house. Mr. Sims accepted Mr. Griffith's ex planation and acquitted him and his colleagues of any purpose to deceive, but said the effect had ibeen to mislead WAV UUUkJVa The house devoted most of the day to rTnsirtfrn:Hnn vf th rwc frwffi r p a nnroTVri- ! ation Dill.

T i - Jouet, 111 March 12. Former Gov ernor John P. Altgeld died in the hotel Munroe this morning. 'He had Ibeen unconscious since midnight. Altgeld .and he was assited from the stage. jThe meeting proceeded, the audience i not realizing what had happened, j He was taken to the door of the the , a;ter, where several vomiting spells seized him. They continued for nearly an hour and were so pronounced that jhe could not be removed to his hotel. ! Physicians were hastily summoned and 'Altgeld was carried to the hotel across the street. He regained consciousness JOHN P. AJ.TGELD. land urged the newspaper men to keep the affeir quiet for fear of alarming his wife. Shortly before midnight he became unconscious. He remained in this con dition until his death. At 3:41 this morning it was thought he had died, but he revived and from that time until shortly afterward showed a wonderful vitality, although he made no move. The cause of his death is given as cere bral hemorrhage, there having been an appopletic seizure of the brain. The physicians desire to hold a post mortem examination, if the relatives will agree. Mr. Altgeld came to Joliet yesterday ; afternoon, havine: been widely adver- jtised as. the principal orator for a big county pro-Boer meeting. He com plained of not feeling well, having been troubled with some apparently simple stomach ailment. He was not willing to allow that to interfere with his sipeech, however, on account of his great interest in the South African struggle . It was noted during the address that the ex-governor threw an unusual amount of energy and feeling into his words and the collapse the physicians think, resulted from overstraining his already weakened physical powers. Since 1895 Mr. Altgeld has not been a well man and for months after the TJJfZ T shor? time When it was learned that he was the victim of locomotar ataxia, his friends gave him up. Quite recently his ap pearance caused grave forebodings and anxiety. Mr. Altgeld, in 'his speech, fated to be his last, declared that all friends of humanity owed a debt of gratitude to Governor Yates for issuing a procla mation soliciting assistance for Boer women and children in the concentra tion Mimms which the British are main taining in South Africa. He charged 1 Your Opportunity To buy a modern home in the moat popular residence section of the city at a sacrifice owner anxious to sell for good reasons.

It was a speech characteristic of the old governor who had risen from the towpath to the chief office of the state.

'President Roosevelt today received a cablegram from the, German emperor expressing deep gratitude in behalf of himself and the German 'people for the splendid hospitality and cordiality of the recep tion accorded Prince Henry (by all 'clasises of Americans.
