The repjrt was not ready and the

nating (Jeorge R. Sheld in of Ne
York, who had been slated for lieuten
ant governor, the (lovernor went tc

five-hours' conference with Senatoi
Plutt and other leaders, Mr. Sholdon

Another Operation on President's Leg.
Another operation was performed
Sunday on the abscess on the injured
leg of President K losevelt.
In the former operation a simple
needle was used to relieve the trouble
but on Sunday tho surgeons made an
incision with a knife, exposing the
bone which was found to be slightly
affected.
The president's case has been pro
gressing satisfactorily, but it is be
lieved by the physicians that the
further operation made will hasten bis
complete recovery. The physicians
say the area of bone affected Is very
slight and that there Is no evidence
whatever of any matter that would
produce blood poisoning. They expect
that the president will be on his feet
within a reasonable time and soon be
himself again.
Dr. Kixry, the surge in general of the
navy, performed the operation, as
sisted by Dr. Lung, the presidents
regular physician. Dr. O'Reilly, sur
geon general of the army, was alsc
present. Dr. Edward R. Stltt, another
of those present, Is in charge of tho

tivity Is unabated, manufacturing In
dustry in nearly all lines is running at

Great Britain and Venezuela.
Any day may bring the announce
ment that the British minister nt Cara
cas has been given his passports with
corresponding action towards the
Venezuelan representative In Ixmdon.
The cause of the crisis does not seem
to be confined to any particular Inci
dent, but consists in various differ
ences which culminated In Venezuela
assuming such an angry attitude as to
leave Downing street fully Impressed
with the belief that the Venezuelan
government Intends to rorce matters
to a crucial issue. That a diplomatic
rupture would result in hostilities Is
a contingency thus far scarcely con
templated. Fasted 37 Day.

M. ZOLA FOUND DEAD.
Asphyx.d ioi Endd th Life ol
thr Great Novelist.
Pipes of a Heating Stove In Their Bed
room Out of Order M. Zola Awak
ened by His Wife and Before H
Could Open a Window He Fell to
the Floor and Died.
Paris, Sept. 30. Emile Zola, the
novelist of the realistic school, whe
gained prominence in recent years be
cause of his defence of the Jews and
of fotmur Captain Dreyfus, was found
dead In his Paris house yesterday
morning fr&m asphyxiation.
M. Zola and his wife retired at 10
o'clock at night. Madame Zola was se
riously ill when the room was broken
Into in the morning. At about noon
she was removed to a private hospital,
where she recovered consciousness for
a short time and was able briefly to
explain to a maglstrato what had hap
pened. M. and Mme. Zola returned to theit
Paris home from the country house at
Medan Sunday. Owing to a sudden
spell of cold weather the heating stove
In their bedroom was ordered to be
lighted. The stove burned badly and
M. Zola was asphyxiated by fumes
from the fire. The pipes of the stove
aro said to have been out of order.
To the magistrate Mme. Zola ex
plaint d that she woke early in the
morning with a splitting head iche.
She wakened her husband and asked
him to open a window. She saw him
rise and attempt to move towards a
window hut he staggered and fell to
the floor unconscious. Mme. Zola
fainted nt the same moment and then
fore was unable to give the alarm.
Mme. Zola does not yet know of her
husband's death, and It Is feared she
may suffer a relapse when Informed of
It.
The death of M. Zola, which only be
came generally known at a late hour
yesterday afternoon, has caused a
great sensation In rarl9. and last night
there was a constant stream of callers
at the Zola residence. At night M.
Zola's remains lay upon a divan In the
center of tho drawing room of his
house under a canopy of rare and an
cient hangings.
It Is believed that Mme. Zola will
survive.
The servants of the Zola household,
nt hearing any movement In their
master's apartments, enterel the bed
room at 9:30 and found Mme. Zola ly
ing on the bed Inanimate. M. Zola
was lying half out of bed. with his
head and shoulders on the floor and
his legs on the bed. Doctors were
summoned but they failed to restore
M. Zola to life. After prolonged ef
forts they resuscitated Mme. Zola.
A druggist who was the first to
arrive at the house to attend M. Zola
and his wife, said: "When I entered
the bedroom, M. Zola was lying partly
on the floor. No especial od.ir likely
to cause asphyxiation was distin
guishable. M. and Mme. Zola did not
present any marked symptoms of
asphyxiation. Their faces were con
torted and their lips were bloodless,
but not violet clored. I think the
accident was probably caused by their
Inhaling heavy carbonic gas, which lay
mainly below the level of the high
bed. This would account for Mme.
Zola's escape. They were not suffo
cated on the bed. M. Zola was awak
ened by the effects of the gas and tried
to rise but he was seized with vomit
ing, fainted and fell to the floor where
he was suffocated. Mme. Zola also
was overcome by the gas, hut to a less
degree than her husband."
M. Zola had been resting from
literary work since he finished his
book called "The Truth" which Is being
published In serial form In the Auivre.
Tho obituary notices pay tribute to
Zola's high literary talent. The Temps
says French letters have suffered a hiss
which will be keenly felt.
The newspapers Judge Zola's role In
the Dreyfus affair according to politi
cal bias.
