the first bull that has died in the arena
in the United States at the hands Of a
trained gladidtor.
A bull pen, 200 feet In diameter, oircu-
lar in form and strongly barricaded,
forms the arena at Gillette, and sur
mouting the phole is an immense amphi-
theatre, seating from 5000 to 10000
At the side entrance the bull was adj
mitted and plunged madly into the ring.
He was met by the pecadores on horse
back and goaded to desperation wlt5 the
spears. Then a capadore fiaurted the
red rag he would plunge at the man,
who would escape being gored by step
ping gracefully aside, or by making a
swift run for one of the escapes. 1t
was when the banderillo stuck festooned
arrows in the bulls neck that the animal
became thoroughly enragea.
Then Cheche, whose proper name Is
Jose Morervo, armed with sword came
forward to do battle single handed with
the bull. The bull would lungo into the
scarlet mantle, but Cheche was out of
the way. Finally by a blow aimed for
the heart the bull was badly but not fa-
tally wounded in the shoulder. The bat
tie between man and beast waged hotly
and it was only when well-aimed stab
on top of the neck and between the ears
of the bull that the spinal cord was
reached and the bull fell dead.
The second bull was introduced ana
the fight was fairly under way when
Sheriff Bowers and his deputies arrived
and placed Wolfe, the promoter of the
whole affair, under arrest, with all the
participants of the fight, on charge OF
cruelty to animals, and the fight was
stopped.
The parties arrested promptly paid the
fine imposed and the same difficulty will
be encountered in the course of tomor-
rows sport, but 1t is the general I'M
preston that the officers have been
bluffed out and that the fights will go on
the following days.

August Storz. living on Williams ave-

yard rather than buy It at the stores.
Some time ago he sent for number OF
plants Of what is known as the German
coffee berry. and this year they will pro-
duce about 25 pounds OF coffee. This
berry is used largely in Germany, Italy
and other European countries IN place
OF tropical coffee and It evidently
answers every purpose Of the genuine
coffee. Mr. Storz' way Of using It Is 10

speclhl TO the Astorlan.

Special to the Astorian.
Portland, August A.-The Portland
Amateur Athletic CiuD's eleven was snow
ed under in today's championship cricket
game by the Astoria team on the Port
land field by score of 129 to II. The
Portland team was plainly outclassed and
outplayed at every point by the visitors.
After the Portland inning closed with
only 13 runs, the interest in the game
died out and 1t was simply q question
of how high Astoria would run up their
score
The bowling of Wilkinson, of Astoria,
was a feature of the game. He sue
ceeded in making wickets for two runs
and overs. During Portland's half Will
kinson bowled three men with three con-
secutive bowls, feat seldom accom-
plished. Wilkinson and Tee made the
top scores for Astoria, piling up % and 81
runs respectively.

THE MONEY MARKET.

New York, August A.-The New York
Financier says this week:
The statement of the associated banks
of this country for the week ending Aug
ust "a was favorable one in every way.
1t was marked by a healthy increase in
loans, contraction of deposits and conse-
quent shrinkage In the conditions here
tofore prevailing in the money market.
There has been no advance In rates but
railroad developments point to an early
season Of better figures for leans. The
movement of money from the interior did
not entirely equal the shipments from
this center to the South and West, more
especially to the latter section.
1t Is not expected that the gold Ship
ments will assume much larger propor-
tions, since the reaction in the exchange
rates has removed the chances of maxi
ing much profit on the transfers of coin.

TaHy For America Z?

LONDON, April 1O.-In an editorial this
morning on the subject of Great Britain
securing the payment by Nicaragua of
the demanded indemnity Of 9l5,0O0. by
collecting the customs duties of that coun-
try, The Times says: If we are compelled
to collect the customs Nicaragua will pre-
sumably have to pay the costs of collec-
sion in addition to the indemnity. She
will find it cheaper and less troublesome
to settle with us forthwith. Her efforts to
excite Americas jealousy have failed. The
justice and good sense of the Americans
have proved too strong for the success OF
this characteristic maneuver.
