HENRY C, PAYNE BREATHED HIS LAST THE POSTMASTER GENERAL DIED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON IN WASHINGTON. Disease of the Mitral Valve and Di latation of the Heart the Cause. President Called Jnst Before the Death Was Announced—Described Mr. Payne as “the Sweetest, Most Lovable and Most Trustful Man 1 Ever Knew.” Washington. Oct. 4.—Henry C. Payne, Postmaster General of the United States, a member of the National Re publican Committee, a stalwart of his party, with the history of which both in his home state and nationally he has been identified for many years, died at his apartments, at the Arling ton Hotel, at 6:10 o'clock to-night, aged 60 ye*ars. The death was announced in an of ficial bulletin issued by the attending physicians, which gave the cause of death as “disease of the mitral valve and dilatation of the heart.” Mr. Payne had been in poor health for at least two years, but his last ill ness covered only seven days ago, an attack of heart trouble last week pre cipitating the end at a time, when after a rest, he seemed to have recovered a small measure of his vitality impaired by years of arduous labor. Death this afternoon came after nearly six hours of unconsciousness. Tribute from Roosevelt. The last official caller to inquire as to Mr. Payne’s condition was Presi dent Roosevelt, and he had been gone only about ten minutes when the stricken member of his cabinet expired. Secretary Hay had called at the Payne apartments a few minutes before the President made his visit. Neither en tered the sick room. As Mr. Roosevelt was leaving about 6 o’clock he spoke feelingly of Mr. Payne to the news paper men gathered in front of the ho tel as “the sweetest, most lovable and most trustful man X ever knew.” Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by Capt. Cowles, was a caller at the family apartments of the Paynes during the late afternoon. Tho last day had been one during which .practically all hope had been abandoned for some hours. The ap proach of dissolution began during the noon hour, when the sick man lost consciousness and no longer recognized those whom he had attempted to cheer during his illness by saying to them that he was all right. When Mrs. Payne saw that the end was near she summoned the Rev. Dr. Dunlap of St. John's Episcopal Church, and at her request he read at the bedside of the dying man Psalm 150, “Out of the depths,” and then repeated the prayers the Episcopal church provides shall be read at the bed of those about to pass away. Plans for the Funeral. Funeral services will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, in thiß city, next Friday morning and at 3:15 that afternoon the body will be taken to the Pennsylvania Railroad station and placed aboard the private car of Presi dent A. J. Earllng, of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, who tendered the use of the car by tele graph and announced that it would be here by to-morrow morning. The remains should arrive at Mil waukee Saturday evening and serv ices will be held next Sunday, at the All Saint’s Episcopal Church there. A message has been sent to the Right Rev. Isaac Nicholson, the Bishop of Milwaukee, who is now at a convention in Boston, asking him if he can offici ate. Interment will be at the Forest Home Cemetery, Milwaukee. Mrs. Payne has expressed a desire that the services be as simple as possible. Further plans for the funeral will be decided on to-morrow. The Career of Payne.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 5, 1:15 a. m.— Official advices from the Far East given out this evening describe a series of skirmishes on the southern front of Gen. Kuropatkin’s army, the only importance to which lies in the fact that the Japanese are showing a disposition to press forward and feel out the Russian positions. Gen. Mistchenkos Cossacks in every case drove back the opposing forces. the activity of the Japanese out posts is doubtless intended to screen movements of their armies, and therefore, may be regarded as pre cursory symptoms of final prepara tions for an advance, which probably will begin within a week. A special messenger has brought to the Emperor Gen. Kuropatkin’s full report of the battle of Liao Yang. The messenger, who submitted to an interview, declares that the main army is concentrated at Tie Pass, and tha’t it is not likely Gen. Kuropatkin will make a determined stand at Mukden. Gen. Grippenberg, recently appoint ed to the command of the second Man chugjan army, will be received by Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof in the morning. * It is understood that the third di vision of the Guards, stationed at Warsaw, is under orders to go to the fragit. This, with the second division of the Guards and the Rifle brigade of the Guards, stationed in and around St. Petersburg, will make altogether about 40.000 Guards who have been ordered to the Far East. There were recurrent rumors to night of the fall of Port Arthur, but they have not the slightest founda tion. RUSSIANS REPULSE JAPANESE ATTACKS. Snkharnff Report* Successes In Sharp Engagements.

Towards even ing this movement was checked with the help of another company, which re inforced the outpost. One Cossack was killed and another wounded.

Mr. Hill said In part: “Why need President Roosevelt have weighed the 'big stick' In behalf of the French company, then chaffering, lobbying and huckstering at Bogota as It had been for a quarter of a cen tury? What Influence, bad for the United States, would have been ex erted by paying a few millions, more or less, in comparison with Interna tional law violated by the President of the United States, a public obli gation like that In the treaty of 1816 repudiated by him, the federal con stitution set at defiance by him. a plain statute disobeyed by him. and executive precedents begun by him most Inconvenient and damaging In our future diplomacy?"
