He “for the Son of King Louis Philippe of France and “’on Fame as Soldier, Author and Statesman—A Royal- ist, Though a Patriot. Paris; May 8.—News was received here today that the Doc d’Aumale died at Zucco, Sicily, from the shock conse- quent upon learning of the death of lhe‘ Duchesse d’Alencon in the Paris fire. He was 75 years of age. Sketch of the Due. d’Aumale. Henri Eugene Philippe d’Orleans, Duo d’Aumale, prince of the family of Orleans, was born in Paris on Jan. 16, 1822, and was the fourth son of the late 'King Louis Philippe and Queen Marie Amelie. He was educated for the army, and in 1840 he accompanied his brother, the Due d’Orleans, to Algeria and took part in the campaign which followed. From .1842 to 1843 he was . again in Algeria, where, at the head of the subdivision Of M'edeah, he conducts cd one of the most brilliant campaigns of the war, capturing the camp and all the correspondence of the famous Arab leader, Abd e1 Kader, together with 3,600 prisoners and an immense amount of treasure, for which he was made a lieutenant general and was appointed to the command of the province of Con— stantine. He directed the Expedition against Biskara in 1844,and in the same year married Marie Caroline Auguste de Bourbon, daughter of Prince Leo— pold of Salerno. She died at Twicken— ham, England, in 1869. The Doc d’Aumale, in 1847. succeeded Marshal Bugeaud as governor general of Algeria. On receiving the news of thé revolution of February, 1848, he re— signed his command and joined the ex— royal family in England. With his brOther, the Prince de Joinville, he pro- tested against the decree banishing his family from France, and afterward re- sided chiefiy in England, devoting him- selfvto literary pursuits. A pamphlet. addressed by him to Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, at the beginning of 1861, caused a great sensation and led to a political prose- cution by the French authorities, who condemned the printer and publisher of the pamphlet to a fine and impris- onment. The duke also challenged Prince Napoleon to fight a duel, and the latter's refusal to meet him excited great indignation in France. ' Bowed to National “'ill. Shortly before the elections for the national assembly in February, 1871. the duke who, during the Franco-Ger- man war had in vain sought permission to serve in the French army, addressed from London a proclamation to the electors of the department of the Oisc. in which, while declaring his prefer- ence for a constitutional monarchy, he stated his willingness to bow to the na- tional ‘will if a liberal republic were adopted as the form of government. He was successful in his candidature, but did not return to France until after the law banishing the members of the OT- leans family was repealed on June 8 of the same year. He took his seatin the assembly on Dec. 19, 1871. He was elected a member of the French academy on Dec. 30. 1871, and‘ was nominated a general of division on LIarch 10, 1872. In this capacity he pre- sided over the council of war before which Marshal Bazaine was arraigned for surrendering Metz to the Germans. At the elections for the assembly in February, 1876, he declined to come for- ward again as a candidate, in order that he might devote his undivided at~ tention to his military duties. After the passing of the bill of ex- pulsion against the head of. his family, the name of the Due d’Aumale was struck off the French army list by the then minister of war, General Bou- langer, and he withdrew from France. Soon after he had left the country it was discovered that he had given his beautiful (.‘llauteau de Chantilly, with all the priceless treasures it contained, to the Institute of France in trust for. the French nation. The decree of ban- ishment was revoked in March, 1889, and he returned to Chantilly, in which he had reserved a life interest for him- self. Dul‘ing thesame month he was elected president of the French Acad- emy for three months. He was elected a member of the Academy of Fine Arts inr1880 and in 1891 received the degree of D. C. L. from Oxford. The first two volumes of his_“History of the Princes of the House of Conde” appeared'in 1869, and the fifth volume appeared in 1889. The Guileless Chartered Company.

Senator Cullom Gives His Indorsement . to the Suggestion. Washington, May 8.—In reply to in- quiries as to his vieWS on the question of creating a permanent tariff commi5« sion, Senator Cullom has written the following letter to Samuel B. Archer, secretary of' the Tariff Commission league at'Newark, N. J.: -. “My Dear Sir—You have asked me two or three times whether I have been and am now in favor of a permanent tariff commission. I have for many years thought that there ought to be some means devised by which we could avoid these constant and extreme changes in tariff legislation—first going far in the direction of high tariff, and on the occasion of a change of politics going as far the other way. “I believe that through the judicious agency of a permanent tariff commis- sion, composed of .experts, statisticians and business men; such changes could be made from year to year by congress as might be indicated and clearly shown to be wise. This would save the neces— sity of requiring a change of the whole tariff system by whatever party came into power. “Certainly we cannot continue indefi— nitely as we 'have been doing with ref— erence to that subject, because the busi- ness of the country will not tolerate it. I hope sincerely that this congress may provide for some kind of a commission which will aid in changing the situa— tion, and I should be glad if an amend— ment of the kind indicated were to be incorporated in the bill now before the senate, known as the Dingley bill.” Two Injured by a Vicious Horse. Middletown, N. Y., May 8.—-A vicious horse nearly killed Hostler James .L. Mulligan of Dr. M. C. Connor’s stables. Dr. W. J. Nelson, who ran to Mulligan’s assistance, was also kicked in the stomach and back. When Mulligan was finally pulled from under the horse’s feet, his leg was broken, and he was found to have sustained otner in- juries which probably will prove fatal. Dr. Nelson will recover.
