CUMBERLAND, MD, April 15.-The
once famous Unknown" OF the Coxey

Coxey returned to the front this

The people elected d Democratic
Congress to perform a great and i'm.
portant work, and that Congress,
through a delay that constitutes
monstrous crime, has failed to perform
the task assigned it by the citizens,
and which it assumed. We may say
if we please, that the course OF Con-
gress should not influence local cleo
tons, but citizens sometimes find
local elections very convenient medi-
ums through which to rebuke the
party in power.
Elizabeth is naturally a Democratic
city, and man for man its candidates
yesterday stood on at least as high a
plane as those the Republicans put IN
nomination. Yet, with very few ex.
ceptions, the Democratic candidates
were defeated, and by majorities large
enough to enforce and emphasize our

them and virtually determined the
election. The municipal elections
yesterday constitute another notice to
Congress to act and act quickly on the

Monument to Distinguished Cat.

In an cid cafe in Venice there lived
a magnificent cat, the pet of all the
guests. This cat lately died peacefully,
and, when the news got about, some
neighbors made collection of 200f. for
the purpose of erecting some sort Of
monument. The work was confided
to two artists who modelled the statute
of the cat in clay, and took plaster
cast, painted like bronze.
The other evening this little mouu-
ment was inaugurated at the cafe. and
SO great was the crowd that the doors
had to be shut The ceremony was
conducted in seriocomic style
speeches were made, poetry was recit-
ed, the monument was placed in posi-
ton, and, finally, the master of the
cafe was presented with an album
containing prose and verse, and a
number of pretended letters condol.

On leaving Grantsvile this morning
the army moved rapidly over the

very laborious by the repeated calls to
halt ordered by Browne, who would at

Z. B. VANCE is DEAD
Attacked BY AppopIexy, He Dies
in a Few Hours.
The Distinguished North CarOliniaR
Was Practically an Invalid, But Re-
Gently Improved in Health.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Zebulon B. Vance, Of North Carolina,
died at his residence, 1927 Massachu
sets avenue, at 1915 O'clock last
night. The senator had not been in
good health for the past year, and in
the early part of the session of con-
gress was compelled to abandon his
senatorial duties and take a trip to
Florida in the hope of reCuperating,
His trip proved beneficial, and on his
return to Washington he was able for
q while to partially resume his official
duties. His improvement, however,
did not continue long, and for the
last few weeks he had been confined
to his bed. He was practically an in-
valid, but lately had been able to re-
ceive a few intimate friends and SUI.
perintend the looking after the inter
ests of his constituents. During the
past week he had been reported as
doing well as could be expected, and
the serious change for the worse yes
terday was wholly unexpected.
Shortly before II o'clock yesterday
he had an attack OF apoplexy and be-
came unconscious, regaining con-
seriousness only few minutes before
his death. His wife, Thomas Allison,
Harry Martin, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Vance, Judge and Mrs. Houk, Rev.
Dr. Pilzer and Drs. w. w. Johnson
and Ruflin we're at his bedside when
he died.
The critical condition of Senator
Vance became known yesterday after,
noon, and soon inquiries from his
many friends in this city were made
at the house. Senator Ransom and
Representative Henderson, OF the
Seventh North Carolina district, and
a few other close friends, spent the
greater part of the evening in the par
lors of the Vance residence and wait d
anxiously for tidings from the sick
mans room. They left about half
hour before the senator died and were
notified by messengers of his death
The sergeant at arms of the senate
will have charge of the funeral and
will make all the necessary arrange
ments as soon as the family of the de.
ceased decide on what time it shall
be held. They will also determine
whether or not the ceremonies shall
take place in the senate chamber.

MADGE GETS $4,000
Jury Returns a Verdict in an Hour
and a Half.
Eleven Jurors Induce One to Agree
With Them, and the Amount of
Damages Averaged by Vote.

WASHINGTON, April Is the jury
in the suit of Madeline V. Pollard
against Col. Breckenridge for $4,000
damages for breach Of promise of
marriage has rendered q verdict for
Miss Pollard, fixing the amount of
damages at $4,000. The case was
given to the jury at 3;07 o'cloak yes
terday afternoon.
Judge Bradley remained in his
chair for few minutes after the jury
went out, and then he walked around
to the attorneys room, where he wait
ed news from the jury. The court
room rapidly cleared, only about a
hundred remaining to secure good
seats when the jury returned Dur
ing the hour and half that the jury
were out people began gathering about
the court house, but most of them
went away when told by the knowing
ones that there would hardly be a
verdict for many hours. At 4 80 the
jurymen informed the bailifls who
mad them in charge that they had
agreed. Judge Bradley was advised
Immediately, and, in that mysterious
manner in which news flies about q
court hourt house, hundred people
knew it as quickly as the Judge, and
hocked into the court room in his
wake. A minute later, at 4 SO o'clock,
the jury filed slowly in, flanked by the
bailiffs Almost Immediately after
them came Col. Breckenridge, easy
and debonaire as usual, with Col. Ph
Thompson. Desha Breckenridge and

lard's counsel to appear.
The big room was as quiet and still
as church during funeral service.
At 4 40 o'clock Calderon Carlisle Miss
Pollard's attorney, entered hastily,
looking somewhat surprised at the ju-
rymen sitting quietly in their seats
He had hardly sat down when Clerk
Hodges called the roll of the Jury.
Then he put the usual question:
Gentlemen of the Jury, have you
agreed upon verdict"
Foreman Cole, the oldest man of
the twelve, replied slowly: ave have
agreed upon a verdict and find for the
plaintiff"
"In what amount Of damages?"
asked the clerk.
There was not sound in the room.
Judge Bradley had taken occasion to
warn the spectators just before the
verdict was rendered that demonstra.
tions of approval or disapproval from
the spectators would not be tolerated,
and every man there needed the
warning.
Col. Breckenridge had sat leaning
forward during the coloquy between
the foreman and the clerk, and - hen
the verdict was announced he did not
change color or manifest any signs of
nervousness. When Foreman Cole
announced the amount of damages
Col. Breckenridge turned to Col.
Thompson and asked Glow much?
When the foreman had sat down Col.
Breckenridge rose quickly to bis feet
and asked in his musical voice:
off your honor please, within what
time can a notice for a new trial be
fled%
"Within four days." said Judge
Bradley.
Counsel Tor the defendant then gave
notice Of an intention to file motion
for new trial.

lug of the senate finance committee
this afternoon it was announced the
tariff bill was amended by the Demo-
Gratis since the meeting Saturday, and
would not be laid before the COMMITTEES
before tomorrow. Probably in the
meantime further changes will be made.
The principal changes made are in the
sugar schedule which has been modified
30 as to take into consideration color as
we'll as polarization. The change made
will add one-eighth of cent pound on
the color test, 30 as to insure the refiner
this much protection. This 10 in accor-
dance with the original intention of the
committee, but it has been claimed the
bill as at first reported to the full COM
mittee would discriminate against re-
fners.
1t is understood the bill will be
amended 80 as to make positive deola-
ration for the abrogation OF the rsci-
procity treaties made under the McKin-
ley act. This 10 to satiHfv the fears of
the sugar men, though the committee
are satisfied that the bill as ii stands
would do 30.
1t lie also probable that clause abro-
eating the Hawaiian treaty will be
stricken out. There has been some
contention among the Democratic mem.
bers on this score, and two or three
votes have been taken upon the propo-
sition to strike it out, majority at first
opposing the change. The principal
argument for it is based upon the
ground of expediency. 1t is urged that
II permitted to remain it would be the
means Of introducing the Hawaiian
complications into the tariff discussion.
All agreed that thia should be avoided

is that this argument won and that the

the acknowledgement that there was no
disorder at the camp and that no pro-

there reason to believe that any disorder
was contemplated. 1t was the opinion

the ships will 70 to different points.
The San Francisco was the first to go,
and went to BlueheldH, with Admiral
Benham in charge. 1t was the inten-
tion of the navy department to keep the
remainder Of the vessels at Rio q week
or two longer, until 1t could be ascer-
tanned that no further trouble would oc-
cur, but this programme was changed
on the receipt of the following cable
gram from Captain Phillips, the COM
mander Of the feet after Admiral BEN
hams departure:
RIO, March 10.
Secretary OF Navy, Washington.
Rio harbor is clear of foreign men-of-
war, except the New York and Charles
ton. The Detroit will sail for Hampton
Roads. The Portuguese weasel was the
last to leave. 1t is reported that Da
CANA was a passenger on board her.
The fever is increasing and has reached
the epidemic stage, so that the British
steamers coming north will not touch at
Rio. 1t does not appear that there is
further use for keeping an American
man-of-war here, as the ineurrection has
been put down and longer stsy of the
vessels would be injurious. PHILLIPS.
Immediately upon the receipt OF this
dispatch, Secretary Herbert sent orders
to the New York to proceed north to the
West Indies. She will probably touch
at some cable port and receive further
orders. The Charleston was directed
to 60 to Montevideo, where she will
probably get orders to proceed to the
Pacific station. The Newark, now al
Montevideo, will remain there as the
flag ship of the station, supported by
the Yantic.
