blogram-Spcclul Telcgram.)-The VvALL TRACE OF
special correspondent at Klmbolton ttTwjvV
Kraphs that tho duchess of MnncitcstcOT??
became the mother of a daughter at 1:30
o'clock this afternoon at Klmbolton castle.
The mother and child are doing well. The
duchess was attended by Dr. O. W. Moore,
who came spccla'ly from Maidenhead yes
terday, ho having been In attendance ou
the duchess while nt Down place.
There is naturally great disappointment
that an heir has not been provided for tho
title, as ho much depended for the duke ami
duchess on the birth of a son.
The daughter will be christened Mary
Alva Montague after the elder of tho de
ceased twin daughters of Consuclo, the
duchess.
It Is a curious fact, reflecting on the low
ebb of the fortuno of the present duke,
that his eldest child has been born In the
ancestral family castle, while he and tho
duchess are guests of Charles Ross of Ayre,
present tenant of Klmbolton under Lord
Montague, tho duke's uncle. Ihigono Zim
merman Is nlso among Itoss'n guests, the
situation being altogether a most extra
ordinary ono, as Hoss does not surrender
possession (or the castle until Tuesday.
It Is now feared, in view of the fact that
the child is a daughter, that Mr. Zimmer
man will not moko the settlements ex
pected. It Is positively stated that the
duchess has received nothing from her
father slnco her marrhigo except tho In
como from her late mother's estate.
Until it malo heir Is born Lord Charles
Montague, tho duchess of Devonshire's
second son, remains heir presumptive. It
would greatly enhance tho Importance of
the position of the young duchess It she
wero the mother of n future duke.

LONDON, Oct. 27. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Spoclal In
formation regarding the serious nature of
King Edward's throat affection, which the
World's correspondent was able to give
many months ago, Is now at Inst beginning
to nppear In tho Kngllsh papers. Reynolds'
newspaper, which Is one of tho few Journals
not afraid of Incurring royal displeasure,
prints a statement on what It asserts to be
the "highest posslhlo authority," fully cor
roborating tho World's story. It says:
"Thero Is only too much truth In tho
stntement that King Edward Is suffering
from cancer of the larynx. Slnco his ac
cession to tho throne no fewer than three
operations have been performed. Tho king
has been advised not to smoko nor to
speak moro than is absolutely necessary
and the real purport of his recent visit to
Frcdensborg was that ho might quietly con
sult somo noted French, German nnd
Austrian physicians.
"Tho court officials affirm that tho growth
in tho. throat, is not malignant,, hut the
members of tho royai'hous'chold kn6w'only
too well that his majesty's1 votco gets husk
ier week by week, although It is moro than
anyone's office is worth to make these
facts public.
"Tho growth Is professionally known as
papilloma, on tin left vocal chord. This
has been removed three times. Ono night
Inst weok assistance was hastily summoned
to tho king's side and It was found that
his majesty was breathing with difficulty.
An lmmedlato operation was performed, but
It is only regarded as a temporary relief,
for the Injured epithelium has now.bccome
a canctrous growth and serious develop
ments nro expected.
"Tho king .himself fears the worst, but
ho has commanded that none of the order
for tho robes or regalia for his coronation
shall bo countermanded, lest suspicion be
aroused in the public mind. Novortholcss
both officials and servants at the royal resi
dences are constantly asking ono another:
'Will tb.i king live to bo crowned?' "

AUBURN, N. Y Oct. 27. The tlmo that
Loon K. Cznlgosz, assassin of President Mc
Klnley, has to live is reckoned by hours
now, hut there lias been no relaxation of
tho stringent rulo under which tho prisoner
has been secluded since his confinement.
Auburn prison wan closed today to any who
nought tho assassin and so it will remain
until tho prisoner has paid the penalty
which tho law exacts.
In fact, tho plan to deprive Czolgosz liv
ing of any notoriety has been extended to
Czolgosz dead. Immediately after tho exe
cution the clothing of tho murderer, with
tho vast accumulation of mall that camo
to the prison for him, will be burned and
If possible the request of tho parents of
the dead man for his body will be evaded.
It Is feared that the removal of his body to
Cleveland would lend to scenes of an unfor
tunato na'uro and the prison officials ore
very anxious to avoid anything of the kind.
Tho plan of burning the clothing and let
ters of tho murderer will prevent the ex
hibition cf relics by those who pander to
tho morbid.
Tho hour of 7 on Tuesday morning Is tho
time set by Wnrdon J. Warren Mead for the
execution. Various reports changing that
tlmo havo gone through Auburn today nnd
tonight. One rumor places the tlmo nt 7
o'clock tomorrow morning, but that Is dls.
credited by the fact that Superintendent of
Stnto Prisons Cornelius V. Collins will not
nrrlvo here until 3 p. m. tomorrow after
noon nnd none of the regularly sumtuonod
witnesses has yet reached Auburn.

Tho chair In which Czolgosz will sit to
rccelvo the deadly shock was examined and
tested today by Stnto Electrician E. F.
Davis nnd is ready for tho part that it Is
to play In the final scene of tho great na
tional trogedy. Davis carefully examined
tho wiring, swltchbonrd nnd electrodes nnd
satisfied himself that they were in good
condition. He nlso Inspected the dynamos
In tho prison shop whuro tho current Is
generated and at his direction tho cur
rent was for a brief period sent pulsating
Into tho death houso as it will go on Tues
day morning, carrying flnal punishment to
tho murderer.
Electrician Davis will look the apparatus
over again tomorrow and review with the
prison officials the plan under which the
sentence of death is to bo carried out.
Czolgosz will bo tho flfty-nlnth man In the

SpusntlouiillMin I'ndiT Hun,
The firm purposo of Superintendent Col
lins nnd Wnrdon Mead to avoid even the
scmblnncc of sensationalism In this case In
demonstrated with an Incident In connection
with one of tho principal witnesses. Dr.
Carlos K. McDonald of New York, a former
president of the state lunacy commission Is
to be tho principal attending physician nt
the execution. Ho was one of tho alienists
who examined tho prisoner in Buffalo and
pronounced him Bane. Ho has been very
anxious to tnko away with him at the
autopsy the prisoner's brain for the pur
poso of microscopical examination. A few
days ago Dr. McDonald had a talk with
Superintendent Collins nnd naked the latter
to allow him after tho autopsy to take the
brain to New York City for examination.
Mr. Collins said to him.
"Doctor, 1 have planned to make this ex
ecution an example of mystery that will
forestall any attempt nt sensationalism. I
rminot allow anything to go away from
tho prison that will In any way tend to
lend to this man notoriety. You may stay
nt tho prison for a week If you will and
examine nny portion of the anatomy you
please, but my present plan Is not to
allow any portion of the man, his clothing
or even tho letters he received, to leave
thU ploce."
Dr. McDonald replied: "I would like to
have taken tho brain away, but I am fr.mk
to say that you nro absolutely right In the
matter. If I desire to make any examina
tion I will do It at the prison."
Hud- Drnlrd ti llelntlvpa.
Tho plan of Superintendent Collins Is
heartily acquiesced In by Warden Mend and
It Is understood that an unrepealed law
has been found that will allow tho warden
to refuse nny request for Czolgosz's body
from even his relatives and will give the
wnrden tho privilege of disposing of It. In
Hint event within two hours after the ex
ecution, unless Dr. McDonald cares to make
an analysis of the brain, Czolgosz's body,
clothes, letters and everything reminiscent
of htm In the prison will bo disposed of.
Tho body of the assassin will bo burled
In quick lime nnd tho clothes, letters nnd
packages will bo consumed by fire.
And this is not nil. Wnrden Mead, with
Superintendent Collins' approval, hns de
cided that for the next thirty hours pro
ceding the execution of Czolgoez not one
wntd of his condition or actions shall bo
given out from tho prison. In other words,
thu man, beginning from midnight, Is prac
tically dead, so far as the public Is con
cerned. When his death Is accomplished Warden
Mead will glvo out a brief statement of the
prisoner's last liourB, including any con
fession he may make. The result of the
autopsy will also be given out by tho war
den. Two jl'liyaleliiiia Present,
At the execution on Tuesday Dr. Carlos
F. McDonald of New York and Prison Phy
sician Oerln will be the attending phy
sicians and tho priests, if nny are re
quested by Czolgosz, will be tho two Polish
ones that have hcretoforo visited him.
State Comptroller Erastus Knight of
Iluffalo has been atked to be foreman of tho
official Jury and will bo here. The rest of
the Jury of twelve mon is made up of
prominent Individuals, Including some other
stato officials.
Governor Odell has sent word that he
partlculorly desires that this execution bo
conducted with as little display or notoriety

The situation, so tar as westbound traffic

to be in a very satisfactory condition. Tho
violations of tho trunk line agreement to

to bo comparatively unimportant. Only a

the railroad freight solicitors have been
offering forbidden inducements to shippers.
The western railroads have Just placed

Some of thn candidates hnvo been getting

At 10:.t0 this morning n rawboned man
about flvo feet ten Inches In height, with
florid complexion, ottered tho bill in pay
ment of a email purchase madn at a stnrn
on tho public square. Difficulty In making
tho change caused the salesman to closely
notlco the bill, which proved to bo on tho
Moutnna bank to which the stolen bills
wero consigned. Tho pollco wero quietly
notified, the clerk meanwhile delaying the
matter of change.
Detectives Dwyer and Dickens were soon
on hand nnd approaching the man de
manded his name. "Ferguson" was tho re
ply nnd after another question or tto De-
tectivo Dwyor Informed tho man ho was tin
der nrrcat. Quick a a flash Ferguson held
a rovolvor In each hand nud started for tho
door. A hand-to-baud tight ensued, both
ofllccrn grappling with tho stranger, who
proved moro than a match for them. Using
his pistols ns clubs ho fought his way to
tho door nnd fled down tho street.
Rapid Gull of Ion Wiikoii,
A passing lco wagon caught his attention
and the three negro occupants were toon
nut of hla way. Then, ut u terrific clip, thf
wagon was headed across thn Cumberland
river bridge Into Kasl Nashville, a fusillade
of shots following It.

Out Into the commons he sped. Once the
buggy overturned, hut was quickly righted.
Finally the tired horse was abandoned and
after adlvo Into Shelby park on foot, the
supposed bandit secured nnothcr horse
hitched at a point near tho park. Then,
nfter a sensational ride, tho horse was left
and tho flight oontluued.on foot. Further
out tho pursuers found two of the blood
hounds used In the chase shot to death a
short distance npnrt, and after that the
trace of the man was lost.
