CAME NEARLY BEING A RIOT
THOUSANDS OF MEN IN SPAIN IN
 FAVOR OF THE REPUBLIC.

In Attending the Funeral of One Who Was
 Shot They Shouted Though the Streets
 "Death to the Queen Regent" and "Long
 Live the Republic"-Apathy of the Po- lice.
 Madrid, Feb. i.-The city was the scene of a demonstration that would have required little to turn it into a serious riot As told in these dispatches on Tuesday last a number of men hoot- ed Campos as he was driving to his res idence from the railway station on his return from Cuba. A number of the hooters were arrested, and one of them broke away from the gendarmes, who fired at him and killed him. The shoot ing caused great excitement and the government was bitterly condemned by the republicans. This afternoon the funeral Of the victim took place and was attended by an enormous crowd. Fully 12,000 men, most of whom were re- puhlicans, marched to the cemetery shouting for the entire distance down with the police" down with Campos," :" long live the republic" The govern ment anticipated trouble, and there was strong display of gendarmes, who, however, appeared to be afraid to in- terfere with the procession in any way lest they might provoke riot.
 Consequently the crowd shouted itself hoarse until the cemetery was reached when the great assemblage stood with barred heads until the funeral rites had been completed.
 The greater portion of the crowd then dispersed, but two thousand of it's num- Der again formed in line and marched back to the Royal Palace, in front of which they gathered and shouted death to the king" death to the queen regent and long live the re- public"
 Even the guards on duty about the palace seemed to be intimidated by the sullen temper of the mob and made not the slightest attempt to drive them away. After partly venting their anger against the youthful king and his moth CT the crowd marched to the residence of General Campos, where similar demonstration of disapproval was made.
 The apathy of the police, which was unquestionably due to fear, was signifi- cant. So far as known the civil author ities made no request of the military for aid in dispersing the crowd, the members of which did as they pleased until nightfall. They committed no overt acts, contenting themselves with shouting and hooting, but they were very evidently in a humor to fight had they been interfered with.
 After dark it was proposed to gather under the windows of the hotel at which were stopping a number of republican delegates, who had come to Madrid spe- cially to attend the funeral and sere- nade them. The police had in the mean time mustered their courage and told she leaders the serenade would not be allowed. The crowd after insisting up- on carrying out their plan, finally lis tened to their leaders and dispersed.

IT WASN BROAD DAYLIGHT
JOHN PARKER'S YALUABLB MARE
 STOLEN FROM HIS BARN.

Yesterday Af Parker Saw the
 Man Go to the Barn With n Birdie on His
 Arm and Take the Animal Away, But
 Thought Her Son Had Sent Him.
 Yesterday afternoon young man with bridle on his arm went to the stable of John Parker and rode away with valuable mare. Man nor mare have not been seen since. The descrip- tion of the young man is not very defi- nite. He was dressed like the ordinary stable boy, and that is all that could be remembered by the only one who saw him.
 Parker is a baker doing business at ' and East Grand avenue. He lives with his mother at 561 Quinnipiac street. In the rear of his house on Quinnipiac street he has a large barn in which he keeps all his horses. His mother was as home yesterday afternoon and saw the young man come. She did not take any notice of him as he went to the barn. She supposed that he had been sent by her son and later when he rode away on the horse she thought nothing O. it.
 At supper she casually mentioned the circumstance to her son, who was surprised. Investigation showed that the mare was missing, and no trace of her could be found. The police have been notified, but it is doubtful if any thing can be done on the meagre facts. The thief has probably placed several miles between himself and this city, and probably will have the mare sold by the time it is located.

4 GRAND AFFAIR.

Beacon Lodges Concert a Great Success
 N eriden's Tenor ThriilS the Audience
 With Ills Fine Volce-The Other Soloists
 Highly Appreciated.
 The concert given by Beacon lodge, No 39, N. E. O. F., at Warner hall last evening was great success, and the committee os management and mem bers feel proud of the event. The hall was filled with very enthusiastic au- dience, who highly appreciated the ef- forts of the various artists who took part. The program was opened by MT. George Fulton, tenor of the First Con- gregational church of Meriden. MT. Fulton is the possessor of one of those rare, rich, sweet tenor voices that are seldom met with at the present day. He is a Scotchman by birth and got his early training in the land of the heath and heather. Previous to coming to this country he occupied the inn portant position Of principal tenor of the famous Balmoral choir of Glasgow, Scotland. He has been heard in New Haven several times now, and the often- CT he appears the more popular he gets. His rendering of Loves Request" last night was perfection, and called forth hearty encore to which he responded with My Sweetheart When a Eoy." But it was in his second appearance when he rendered Burns beautiful pas toral song Flow Gently Sweet Alton" that the audience was moved 10 enthu- siasm. He followed this up with the ever popular ballad Annie Laurie" :" and the manner in which he rendered this brought down the house with a storm of applause that was only que.led by his reappearance, "The Normandy Maid" and Annie on the Banks O the Dee" being his others.
 Miss Madge Roberts who is too well known to require any criticism here, ac- quilted herself in her usual manner in the "Children's Home" It was, how ever, in Sullivan's Lost Chord" that she shone and carried her audience.
 Mrs. A. F. Gilbert received hearty ovation and greatly pleased her audi ence by rendering "Bolero Vespri Sici- leane" and Hearts are Truuros." For an encore she gave "Killarney.''
 Next to MT Fulton the readings of Miss Mary Dudley Burke were the talk ing card. The audience seemed to be fairly enchanted with here selections to which of each she did ample justice, and that, notwithstanding the fact that she was suffering from a severe cold.
 MT. F. D. Edgar, the bass. acquitted himself very well. He gave in charac- ter the "Midshipnite" and the News boy" from the opera of "1492." But it was in the solo ITO All Eternity 7 with violin accompaniment, that he ap- peared to most advantage.
 The accompaniments were most ac- ceptably played by Miss Gertrude San ford and Miss Emile Slegeman.
 A dance followed the concert. The march was led by Chief Warden James Johnston and Miss Johnston, and was followed by nearly one hundred couples. The music was supplied by the Phil harmonic orchestra, and Prof. Hill acted as prompter.

Is due to desire on their part to force
