this afttrnoon, without icgalnlng con-fcciouh-ness.
Ills death was fitiet and
lalulefH, there being a gradual sinking
until tho ond came, which was maiked
b a single gasp for breath as lite tie
pnrlod lrom the body of the states
man. Tho tPl.itlpK, with a few ex
ceptions, and several of the old and
tiled friends, weie nt the former ptes
Ident's bedside when lie passed away.
The- general's condition was so bad
this morning, ntter a lostlcs night,
that the attending physicians undei
stood that tho end could not bo far
off. and all bulletins sent out from the
sick room wcie to this effect, sn that
tho t, unity and fi lends weie picpated
when tho tmnl ilow came. The grad
ual falling of strength shown by the
patient become mote noticeable in the
afternoon, and a few moments befoto
the end there was nn apparent break
down tts the suffeier aitteiidered lo
the disease against which h hid hten

Tin change was noticed by tin pftv
blo.l.uis nnd the 1 datives and ftlend!
who had tollied from Ihe sick room lo

and leached the bedhide of the gen'tal
befoto he passed nway.

to tin1 Hnrilson icsldonce. The word
was Unshed from tho bulletins of all
the newspapeis. and (hus 1 ommunl
' uited to Iho peopl.' on tliolr way home
In the evening. The announcement
produced Ihe great oil soiiow. Within
it. few moments the '.lags on all the
public buildings, and most ol the down
town business blocks wcie hoisted at
half mast and other outward mantles
t.etioms of mourning wore made.

At the Bedside.
The 'gioup at tho bedside Included

two nurses who have been in constant
attendance. Oenernl Hanlson's two
sisters and nn aunt were also pnspnt.
Airs. Haulson kneeled at tho light
hand side of tho lied, her husband's
right hand gtasped In Iipis, while Dt.
Jameson held the left hand of the dy
ing man, counting the feeble pulse
boats. In n few moments after tho
friends had been summoned to the
room, the end came, Dt. Jameson an
nouncing the sad tact. Tho gieat si
lence that fell on tho sorrowing watch
ers by the bedside wan broken by tho
voice of Dr. Haines, raised lit prayer,
suppllc atlug consolation for the be.
leaved wife and famll.
Steps -wet" at once taken lo notify

Including Senatois Fahbanks and Ucv

Ho spoke to no one today, failing to

part r Tuesday, also, hu was In .1
soml-coniatose condition, although ho

to Alis. Newcomer, his aunt, and also
to Mr. Millet-, the words, however, be
Ing very Indfstinct. "Dot.toi" and "my

tered wcte addressed to his wire, of
whom he Inqiiltcd. shortly befom he
be-camn unconscious, If the doetois

A Pathetic Incident.
One of the most pathetic Incidents of
tho Illness of the genet al occurred on
Tuesday, beioie ho became uncon
scious. Thu Rpnpral's little daughter,
Elizabeth, was brought Into tho nick

father, and olfcred him a small apple

From one who was piese-nt at th -deathbed
It was learned that the al
legation.! of cruelty nud Justice dealt
can by Dnglaiu! to the Moors in their
snuggle lor llb-itv had boon a sub
joct lor though In the mind ot Con-e-tal
Hnrilson. To his ft lends ho had
ollon spoken of the pltv and --haine
as he vie'M'd thai the luavo nud sturdy
lainKr.s of South Af lea should If

Hnirison, It Is stated, voald .a-p
l'kid nothing bolter than to come out
frankly and stiougly and sav to ovetv
oiio wno would hear what he thought
of Dnglnnd's cruelty. H was Ir. his
mind com-tiintly. but In believed iliut
an es-presle'i-nt should observe the
same propeitles 01' -speech which ate
obseived by a pi est lent of the United
States. Uo was at all times caicful lo
.say nothing which 1 mild lie miscon
strued or twisted into a seeming dis
regard fur the dignity of the high of
fice which ho once held.
In his renil-tousclous 1 onelition, when
the "cnllnols of ellF'Totlnn and propil
etv had gone lion their po-ts and tlio
mind of the man was wandering, he be
gan to speak of th lloers nnd their
hopelos.s .tiugslo for national life; but
the listeners bonding over him could
heai word" if pity for the dying far
