Chicago, Jan. 7.—Philip Danforth
Armour, philanthropist, financier and
multi-millionaire, head of the vaat com
mercial establishment that bears his
narnt, died at bis home, 2115 Prairie
•venue, at 5:45 o’clock yesterday aft
ernoon.
A muscular affection of tbe heart,
known to the medical profession as
myocarditis, was tbe Immediate canse
of death. He bad been slowly recov
ering from '>neumoula that for three
weeks had threatened bis life. At 9
o'clock yesterday morning bis heart
gave way under the strain of his re-

cent Illness, bis pulse running np to
108. That was the beginning of the
end.
During tbe day be bad realised that
death was after. To those around blm
he hsd said; **l know I am very lick,
and am ready for death when it
comas."
- Boou after luncheon, and Just before
the physician forbade his talking more.
Mr. Armour, in feeble tones, said that
he would like to hear the Lord's
prsyer read.
One of the trained nurses who had
been attending him drew a chair to
the bedside and slowly read from the
bible the prayer for which the dying
man had asked. It was read sentence
by sentence and each was repeated by
Mr. Armour. When the “amen" had
been repeated by him. be sank back on
the pillow and closed bis eyes reat
fully. It wan the last word the great
financier spoke, except feeble fare
wells to his family a little later.
Mr. Armour had lost strength stead
ily from day to day since the com
mencement of the winter. The pneu
, was checked, but strength was
regained. Tbe firm grip he bad
™ long maintained upon tbe business
of Armour * Co., whether at the office
or thousands of miles away, slowly
relaxed. Reports no longer Interested
him as they were wont to do during
the fret months of his declining
health. Tbe sudden death of his son
and namesake nearly a year ago hung
heavily on him during the closing
months of his life. In fact, he never
recovered from the shock he experi
enced from that event. It stopped his
progress toward recovery In his winter
home at Pasadena, and Its sorrow re
mained fresh until the end.
•ketch mt Bis Career.
Philip D. Armour, who was In hla
ffOth ysar, made hls own life on lines
unique aod wholly original with him
self. From a not over rich Oneida
county, New York, farmer to the posi
tion of paying more freight and con
trolling more provisions than any
sther man In tbe world, were tbe two
extrsmes of hls life.
The ancestral Armours were Con
aectlcut people, but Philip Armour
was not born until after the family
had moved to Htockbrldge, Oneida
county. New York
The California gold fever struck
western New York In 1840 end youug
Armour was the first In Htockbridge
to determine to visit the Pacific coast.
He secured the permission of his pa
rents and at the age of 17 started, hav
ing three or four companions from the
same neighborhood. The almost In
credible part of It waa that the party
walked nearly the entire distance from
New York to California. The com
mercial sense which always predom
inated In hls life Indicated Its pres
ence as soon as be saw tbe gold fields
of California. He made money from
the start and at the end of six yean
hr returned beine with a fortune. Be
coming dlsadßsflad with tbe quiet life
es hla native town, he came west
again and together with a brother-in
law established a wholesale grocery
bouse In Milwaukee. This venture
was also successful and In n year's
time he purchased tbe largest grain
elevator In Milwaukee. This led to
more elevators and railroad stock. In
IW',(l he came to Chicago to take charge
of the Chicago branch of a New York
packing eatabllahment. The reanlt
wav that the Chicago house ceased to
be a branch and the west gained the
largest parking and provision plant In
the world.

London. Jan. 9.—Mr. Choate had an
(nterview regarding the Chinese ait
aatlon with Lord Lansdowne at the
foreign office today, but little headway
was made. The discussion wais con
fined to the difficulties of the powers
In agreeing to China's answer to their
demands. Great Britain has not yet
replied to tbe circular of the United
Btatee Inviting the powers to con
fer in Washington. Tbe Associated
Press is authorized to say that she ta
willing to agree If the rest of the pow
ers will agree, but tbe Impression pre
valla In Ixmdon that tbe other powers
are not likely to accept Mr. Hoy's sug
gestions.
British officials generally are dis
heartened over the latest muddles In
Peking und fear that a long time will
elapse before matters ore rnnde
straight. It Is pointed out that a con
ference In Washington will lie a cause
of serious delay and Inconvenience to
many powers, who would be obliged to
send special representatives. If It la
decided to hold a conference in Wash
ington, Lord Pauncefote will probably
represent Great Britain. The success
or defeat of Mr. Hay’s suggestion
aeema to depend on the powers of the
triple alliance. The Indications are
that these would only accept tbe pro
posal as a last resort.

on the coast near the village of Vara

passengers und a crew of 40 on board.
She has heeled to the startmurd und

by life boats and steam tugs were
made, but thus far the rough seas have
prevented every effort to approach

New York, Jan. ft.—Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, president of the University
of Californls, who is now staying at
the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, has re
ceived Information from secret sources
In the Philippines ta tha.-effect, (hat
Agulnaldo Is dead und that hls death
occurred not lens than six weeks ago.
The news has been kept secret by
Agulnsldo's followers. It Is said, for
the purpose of prolonging the rebel
lion, since It is believed that news of
hls death would cause euch discour
agement and Hlarm that an utter ca
pitulation would result. President
Wheeler obtained this news through
several Filipino children who have
been placed In hls care by their pa
rents. Two are sons of Buencamlno,
a wealthy cltlsen of Manila, who. tie
fore the advent of the Americans In
the Philippines, had been an active
leader of the rebellion against the
Spanish.

Washington, Jan. 9.—Argument was
begun In tbe United States supreme
court yesterday In the Porto Rican
customs esse, now before that court.
The five consolidated cases were taken
up and F. R. C'oudert spoke In behalf
of the plaintiffs against the govern
ment In the case known as the Delimit
case. Mr. Condert devoted consider
able time to showing that Porto Klco
la not a “foreign country,” as that,
term Is used In the Dlngley law under
which tbe tariff on the Porto Illco
augar Imported Into tbe United States
In November, 1899, was Imposed In
this ense. He contended that by the
Paris treaty Porto Rico had come un
der tbe sovereignty and dominion of
the United Mates, a geographical part
of wlint Marshall had called the
"American empire." The government
representatives will probably not l>e
heard before Thursday nnd Mr. Car

Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 9.—Twenty
eight dead bodies lie at the morgue
end 12 persons more or less seriously
Injured lie at the different hospitals
lu the city ae a result of the terrible
holocaust which occurred yesterday at
the Rochester orphan asylum. Of the
dead, 20 were children of both sexes,
while the remaining two were adults.
Tbe fire, which wus doubtless caused
by an explosion of natural gas in the
holler room, spread so rapidly that
many of the 109 inmates of the Institu
tion were overcome by the flames und
some almost without warulug.
Revised list of the dead: Arthur
Kelly, Gladys 11111, Gertruda Toner,
Berths Hall. Viola Stuck. Lillian
Stone, Mildred Slocus, Mary Alex
ander, Helen Hamilton. Haxel Murray,
Minnie Tiffany, Myrtle Patterson, Ma

Mildred Wright, Minnie Skluner, Mary
Kane, Cora Potter, Charlotte Bryaut,
Bcachnell Carey, Evangeline Carey,
'Mrs. MHria Gordon, the cook of the
asylum, and Mrs. Martha GIIUs, n
nurse.
In all the long and dismal records of
fatal fires lu Rochester none can lie
found which can equul this one In Its
general horror, In the pathetic scenes
in which so many lives were blotted
out, In the gallant sacrifice of lives of
the attendants In whose charge the
children were and in the ssd scenes at
the hospitals and the morgue.
That so many chlldreu were saved
from tbe west wing of the building
seems little short of mlruculous and
when the ruins were visited today one
marveled that the death roll was not
larger. The scene following the ex
plosion and fire was one tlmt turned
the stoutest hearts sick. The windows
of the west wing wore filled with tiny
faces of waifs. Working vigorously,
the firemen struggled to release them.
The rooms of the dormitory were
filled with smoke of the (ire and tho
little ones were being slowly suffocat
ed. Most of those were lowered to the
ground by means of ladders from the
second and third stories. The ambu
lances from every hospital lu the city j
reached the scene almost as soon an
the fire department, but they proved
totally Inadequate in providing for
those rescued. Many sufferers sud
the dead were removed to the houses
In the Immediate neighborhood. There!
were awful scenes around tbe asylum
at this time. Most of those rescued
were unconscious. It soon become ap-'
pprent that the butljllng jyas doomed.,
