gas. The chemist being startled and
Oft his guard for the instant, inhaled

The ROmulus Bull Show.

About 1900 people were in the Juarez
a -ena yesterday afternoon to witness
the contest between ROmulus tie
Italian strong man from the
G. ty of Mexico and two year old bull.
The eOntest was enlivened by other n t.
fractions, so that the people managed
to. enjoy them selves. The first event
was cornet solo by Miss May Cook Of
San Francisco. This was we'll per-
formed and the audience showed its ap-
probation in the orthodox way. The
second event was dumb-bell exhibi-
tion by Romulus. He gave; an ex-
hibition of two IS pound dumb-bells at
the same time, and handled them as
though they iwere play things. And
then ne banded a 200 pound dumb
bell in various exercises to the enjoy
meut of the audience.
After a second cornet solo from Miss
Cook the event of the day was brought
out, the man-bull wrestling match
For one hou" the strong man and the
beast had it in the sandy arena
Romulus failed to ''throw him." but
there seemed to be some excuse for it.
The bull had unusually thick horns,
and moreover the leaders fastened over
the stub ends came loose, 30 tha the
mans hold was not secure. The
animal wasa'a fighter from.fghtville,
and the wrestler was. ass sted by two
torreadors, who, however, used NO
banderillas or swords, but only the
capotillns which are used to tantaiize
gentleman bovines with in bull fights.
The bull threw the Italian twice, and
rolled him over and over. But the
gentleman from the land of olives was
very quick to regain his feet and was
gritty and game to the last. Romulus
Sas much exhausted at the close Of the
ntest, and shed tears in the dress
ing-rOcm because o his Is ilure, for
heretofore he tas been uniformly sue
cessful.

SENATE COMMITTEE CHANGES.
Shifting of Chairmanships Caused By
MorrilPS Death.

Washington, Dec. .2S.--There is much
speculation as to who Will succeed
Senator Morrill, as chairman Of the
senate committee on finance. The COM
ndttee is generally considered in some
respects the most important in the SEN
Gle. Senator Allison. VINO is now char
man Of t.,e aDproDriaer,rs committee.
has, since Senator Sherman's retire
n,cnt, stood next to Senator Morrill,
on the finance committee, and, under
the unwritten rules of the senate. he
would succeed to the chairmanshiD if
he should desire to do so. and the best
opinion obtainable is that he will so
desire. In order to take this Olace. he
would have to surrender his place as
chairman of the committee on aDDro-
priations. If ne accepts this chairman
ship, Senator Hale viii succeed him as
chairman of the committee on appFo-
priations, and he will. in turn. be sue
ceeded by Senator Perkins as chair
man of the naval committee.
If Senator Allison should decline the
craftsmanship of the finance commit
tee. that place would then fall to SEN
ator AldFich, who would. in turn. be
succeeded as chairman of the commit
tee on rules by Senator Spooner.
There appears to be very little doubt
that the rules of the senate will be
changed very soon after the reassen-
bling of the senate so as to take the
majority of the appropriations bills
from the committee on appropriations.
and distribute them among the other
committees.

EXPANSION AS AN ISSUE.
NJ. Bryan Says the Question May Be
Settled

Omaha, Dec. 2S.-W. ]. BRYAN arriv-
ed in Omaha today from Chicago. lie
called on friends in the city during the
morning, and this afternoon left for
Lincoln.
When asked if he thought the ques-
tion of imperialism would overshadow
the money issue in the campaign of
1900, Mr.. Bryan said it was difficult at
this time to tell what relation these
subjects would bear to each other then.
He thought if congress would adopt a
resolution pledging this government to
hold the Philippines only as a trust for
their people as we do Cuba. until a
stable government is established. the
expansion issue would be at an end.
II, however, the question is not settled
in some such way as this. he said it
would continue to be a matter of dis
cussion until it was disposed of. and
would, therefore, remain one of the is
sues before the people.
With Puerto Rico. Mr.. Bryan said,
the situation could be simplified easily.
He believed the people of the island
should first be permitted to vote as to
whether they desired annexation or the
formation of an independent republic.
