procession passed the American consulate
there was derisiye whistling. interspersed
with cat-calls and other tokens OF disapproy-
al. strong guard had been placed about
the building in anticipation Of trouble. but
il did not deter the paraders from TRYING to
force their way in. The police and gen
darmes succeeded in driving them away,
hut not until they had been forced to charge
upon the mob with drawn sabres.
4 great crowd, later on, assembled in the
Plaza Catauma. a number Of speeches were
delivered. the crowd became greatly excited
by the burning oratOry. and after the meet
ing had broken up large number Of those

RECEIVERS FOR B. & 0.
Emergency Was Urgent-Big Inter
est Payment Defaulted.

BALTIMORE, Md. March 3-Hugh L..
Bond, general attorney of the Baltimore and
ohio railroad company. filed a petition be-
fore Judges Morris and GOtf for the appoint
ment of receivers for the company. and the
order was signed appointing president John
X. Cowen and vicn-presdent Oscar q. Mur-
ray receivers to take charge of and operate
the road.
The purpose of filing the petition be-
fore Judge GotT in conjunction with judge
Morris was to make the appointment cover
the three states of Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia, Judge Gotf's jurisdiction as Il
member of the circuit bench extending over
these three SIates.
The immediate cause of the receiverShip
was the inability of the company to raise the
money necessary to pay the interest due.
This amounts to 440i,000. Besides there is
a large amount of ear trust funds for which
provision has to be made.
The application for the receivership was
formally decided upon at meeting of the
directors Of the board in the afternoon, pre-
sided over by president Cowen. Special
trains brought the New York members OF
the board and Mr.. Bacon from New York
and Mr. Peabody from Cincinnati. The
meeting was held behind closed doors. and

ness notes in recent issue that he
"took down his lamp made in Ger

filed it with oil made in Batoum, and
lit it with japanese match. Then,
taking pad of German paper, he took
