A SHORT SKETCH OF HIS CAREER Family Was Fifty Hours At His Bed side Before the End Came—His Af fairs Reported In Great Confusion. Funeral Arranged Before His Death. Naples, Aug. 12. —Signor Crispi died at 7.46 o'clock last night. He was surrounded by the members of his family and several Intimate friends. The news was immediately telegraphed to King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena. The evening papers assert that the body will be conveyed by steamer to Palermo, where the municipality will arrange for a great public funeral. It is rumored that Slgnor Crispi's will authorizes a prominent Italian politi cian to examine his papers and to pub lish his memoirs. Some indignation was expressed when the public learned that the de tails of the funeral had been arranged before death came. It is rumored that the affairs of the deceased are In the greatest confusion, and that Signora LATESIGNQR CRIBPI. Crispi will have to depend solely on the proceeds of the sale of the mem- > olrs. The body will be embalmed* an 3 will lie instate for three days in the drawing room of the Villa Sina, in Naples, the walls of which are deco- 1 rated with frescoes representing the principal episodes of the Qaribaldeau epoch. A groat state funeral will be held in Naples before the body is removed to Palermo. King Victor Emmanuel will be represented at the obsequies. His wife and daughter did not leave ' the bedside for 5o hours and their j friends were compelled to use loving j violence to induce them to quit the j chamber. When all was over Princess i Linguaglossa fainted and had to be 1 carried out by her husband. Francesco Crispi, of whom it was sand that he was the most hated man [ in Italy until a crisis arose in the j government, when he was called its saviour, was 82 years old. It has been given to few men to play as many parts on the stage of life. Crispi, a Sicilian, was in his early days first a revolutionist and after wards a Republican and later in life a staunch Monarchist. He was also an exile, living in a garret, a soldier, an author, the best lawyer in Italy and prlmeminister. He was giaduated in law at the University of Palermo, and in 1846 he settled in Naples. Later he dropped everything, and with his heart and soul threw himself into the cause of Garibaldi. He came out of the campaigns a major, and was soon afterward returned to the chamber of deputies. In hia subsequent career there have been many and conflicting opinions, the majority unfavorable to the man, but all agree that Italy benefited by his rule as premier.

Year ITRDST CLAIMS VKTOKY Claim Based Ou Western Men's Refusal To Obey Shaffer, STRIKERS RELY ON FEDERATION Secretary Willinrvs Places Elime For I the Big Fight On Trust Officials For Refusing To Arbitrate—'Then Makes Wild Predictions. Pittsburg,- Aug. 12.— Tho iron mas ters are today claiming victory in the great 'steel strike. They base their claim upon the refusal ol' the Amal gamated men at Sowt.li Chirago, Joliet and Bay View to obey the general strike order of President Shaffer, and their success in maintaining opera lions in other plants whrr* it.was an ticipated that there would l.e serious trouble. The strike leaders, however, aver that developments today .and throughout the week will materially change the situation. Thoy would not say, however, what they had . 1 min : or how their cause was to gain in Btrength. It was said that they were counting upon strong aid from the American Federation of Labor and other organizations of union labor, but those bodies have not yet given any public indication of what tliey will do. The Amalgamated Association has de veloped great strength in the Wheel ing district and ha;s made gr. ni .11 some of the Pennsylvania districts. Yesterday's reports showed that South Chicago, Joliet and Bay View, at Milwaukee, had voted to stay in; that the Ohio works of the National Steel company, at Youngstown, and the King, Gilbert & Warner plant of the National Steel company, at.* Colum bus, had resumed without trouble; that the Homestead, Edgar Thompson. Duquesne, Upper and Lower Union and Howard Axle Works of the Car negie group, employing more than 15,- 000 men, had resumed without trou ble; that the converting and bio riling mills of the National Tube company at McKeesport had started without dif ficulty, and that Bellaire had been only partially crippled. It was 1 iL• .. i• • - shown that the men of the Boston Roil ing Mills, at McKeesport, had notified the National Tube company that they would go out today, and that while the National tube plain at - McKeesport would be started in the morning it was certain that many men would go out. In addition it was said that the Wheeling plants were crippled, and tnat it was uncertain what would be done there. Advices also stated that the Clark mill here, which has been running non-union for several would be started up as usual this morning, and that there was no doubt about its successful operation. The ateel officials were elated over their showing at the Carnegie plants and in Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin, aiul ex pressed confidence in speedy victory over the Amalgamated Association. Reports received at strikers' head quarters this morning were that tho Mingo Junction men had all quit worl.. This news was hailed with satisfac tion. Secretary Williams gave out an in terview last night in which he placed the blame for the strike tipou the re fusal of the United States Steel Cor poration to arbitrate, and declared that before the strike was over thou sands of men in other trades would bo drawn into it to save the An:algm::au Association and the principles lor which it stands. He said also: "I tell you, this question will have fo be settled in some way. If not by peaceful strike, then by legislate n. ! ' that fails, the ballot will lie tried, L all else fails, 1 believe that it will result in an appeal to the bayonet. I tell you there is a condition existing today that places this country on the eve of one ot the grt atest revolutions that ever could occur in the his!:>:y of the world."
