Trouble with Foundation. :.
Judge O. C. Robinson of the State Board
of Control and Stat ,Archltect H. F.
Llebbe ar In the city, railed here by dif
ficulties which. .Contractor Schlaeter has
encountered In laying the foundations for
the new main building of the Iowa School
for the Deaf. At the northeast corner of
the site the ground has been found, to be
soft to a, depth of fifteen feet and con
tinued digging yesterday failed to dlsoovfr
any hard aubsoll on which the founda
tions could be lald.; It is believed that
the bed of an old stream has been struck,
as o'.d residents In that neighborhood say
that years ago a stream ran through that
part of the grounds.
' Part of the foundations for the old build
ing which was burned down were put down
twenty-five feet with a solid base eight
feet n width, and even then the building
settled and cracked. If further excavating
reveals the presence of water It will be
necessary to drive piling at this corner of
the building. This, It Is expected, will be
determined today.

that where an Insane patient Ik found In

residence the state will jmy the costs of
th case?,' except as. to transportation. It
was supposed this applied- where an Insane
patient was sent o another state, but the

FAILS TO .RECOVER FROM OPERATION
Lawyer and Orator 'of' Pronounced
Ability, His lllae In Field of Pol
ities Was Rnpld mm
Brilliant.
PARIS, Aug. 10. Former Premier VVnl-derk-Rousseau
died at 2:45 o'clock this
afternoon at his country residence at Cor
hell, eighteen miles from Paris, from the
effects of an operation which his medical
attendants deemed to be a final necessity.
A similar operation which was performed -In
Paris some months ago proved partially
successful, end the former premier wns
Well enough to be removed to Corbell;
where it was hoped rest end the effect of
the country air would restore hie strength.
The evil, however, was ' not eradicated
and alarming reports regarding, the con
dition of the distinguished patient have
been circulated frequently. Despite the
efforts of his family to conceal th truth,,
M. Waldeck-Rousseau's . condition during
the last few days became much aggra
vated, th patient having frequent hallu
cinations and displaying extrsme Weak
ness. The' family, accordingly, called In
two famous liver specialists. Prof. Hans
Kehr, a German,, and; Dr. Arm out, a
Canadian surgeon, who, 'at a consultation,
decided that slnos the 1lv?r had ceased to
perform Its functions an Immediate opera
tion was the only hop of saving the pa
tient's life.
M. Waldeck-Roussena was Informed of
the- necessity for this operation and re
ceived the news with calmness and courage.
The operation was. performed under chlo
roform at noon today by Prof. Kehr, who
was assisted by Dr. Armour and three
French surgeons. It at first appeared
that the operation, which was admirably
conducted, would prove ' successful,- and
the 1 patient was removed from the oper
ating table to his bed,. but the. pulse be
came more feeble and despite ths ad
ministration of Injections of serum, M.
Wgtdeck-Rousseau gradually sank and
died without regaining consciousness.-

Madam Waldeck-Rousseau, Oacqueg
Llouvlllo, the patient's brother-in-law,
Rene Waldeck-Rousseau, his. nephew, and
three Intimate friends were present at the
tune, of his death. A priest was summoned
from Paris to administer . the last rites
of the church, but he arrived too late.
As soon as the -death of the former pre
mier became known messages of condolence
began to' arrive at Corbell. Th first cams
from Premier Combes, who telegraphed :
"I have received the news contained In
your telegram with the keenest grief.
Please express to.Mme. Waldeck-Rousseau
the share I take in her mourning, which
Is the mourning of all republican France."
Premier Combes decided to postpone his
departure from Paris and the members
of the cabinet will tnee. tomorrow to"con
slder th details of the' funeral, which the
government desires ahall be of a national
character, though Madame Waldeck-Rousseau
will be consulted on. this point
Pierre Marie Ernest Waldeck-Rousseau
was orn at Nantes, France, Deo. 2, 184S.
and waa a son of Rene Waldeck-Rousseau,
at that time a prominent member i.f ths
assembly;' M. Waldeck-Rousseau. studied
law at Saint Lasare, where he practiced
for some, tlms before settling at Rennes.
There he made his first entrance Into' poli
tics, being elected deputy In 1879,
Lawyer and Orator. t
He became prominent In the ranks of th
republican union, which was very conspicu
ous In opening the way. for Innovation and
the present republicanism, and was con
sidered one of the prominent orators of the
assembly. His best known work was for
Lthe reform of the Judiciary.
r Ha' was re-elected on August 11,' 1881, and
on November 14 of the same year, al
though only thirty-five years old, was ad
mitted Into. Gambetta's cabinet as min
ister of the interior. The short-lived min
istry of Gambetta did not offer a fitting
chanc to Waldeck-Rousseau to prove his'
ability at that time. The resignation of
tbe 'government took plac January 26,
'1881
, Having I been offered th same portfolio
In Jiiles Grevy's cabinet, he held thesame
from February, 1886. In 1888 he was elected
senator, although he was not present at
the election, In 1888 Waldeck-Rousseau
was entered at the bar of Paris and slnos
then pleaded some of the mos( Important
cases of the time. He also favored a re
vision of the Dreyfus case.
'.On June 22, 1899, Waldeck-Rousseau was
called upon to form hla own ministry,' and
after having , been successfully . In office
for three years he resigned In June, 1902,
his ministry having the longest duration
of any cabinet under the republican
regime." ,
: Shortly after his resignation as prims
minister, having been repeatedly taken 111
wltbt trouble of tbe stomach, according
to some versions, canser and others, tumor,
Waldeck-Rousseau retired from publlo life.
An able statesman and leader, he dis
tinguished himself as one of the foremost
men of the republic. lie was also a writer
of eminence on judlcary matters.
