Chapter OF Unseemly
Horrors.

Tucson, Ariz., March 14.-Mexican
bandits held up the stage which runs
between Potam and TORN, on the
Yaqui river, in Sonora, killing all of
the six passengers and the driver.
Among them was Filiberto Alvarado,
wealthy Mexican, who owns n num-
Der of ranches along the Yaqui river.
Alvarado and his wife of two months
had taken the stage from Potam TO
TORN and the men no doubt thought
they carried a large sum of money
with them. The stage carried very
little mail and scarcely any money or
valuables except those carried by AL
varado, so that he must have been
the mark for the bandits.

Vote of ~ TO 3.

Washington, March 1S.-Without
dotting an 81" or crossing a 81, even
without changing a single punctua-
ton mark, the senate on Tuesday

of Colombia for the construction of
an isthmian canal The vote for rat
ification was 20 in the affirmative 10
I'm the negative. The senate was in

announced, so that only the senator's
themselves and few confidential
employees were present. All the SEN
ators announced themselves as graf
fled TO have the long struggle ter
minated. but none of them mani
tested their appreciation by cheers
or hand clapping. On the contrary
all of them seemed more concerned
about getting away from the cham
Der than anything else, so that by
the time the senate could adjourn,
which il did almost Immediately after
the result was announced, most OF
the senator's had left their seats and
some Of them had donned their hats
and oyercoats.
The senator's who voted in the
negative on the question of ratifca-
ton were: Daniel (Na), Martin
(Va), Morgan (Ala), Pettus (Ala),
and Teller (Col).

tirely to general debate on the treaty
and in addition TO the set speeches
made under the general agreement
by Senator'S Morgan and Cullom there
were many short addresses and
rather long speech by Senator Daniel,
Of Virginia The only party vote Of
the day was taken on the substitute
for article four, which was agreed
upon by the democratic caucus and
had reference 10 the acquisition Of
territory in Central and South Amer
lea by the United States. There were
a number Of speeches on this amend
ment, but il was voted down by an
almost two-thirds majority, the bal
lot footing up 81 ayes TO 81 noes.
When the senate adjourned at
o'clock there was a general belief
that the business Of the session might
be completed in time TO permit final
adjournment to-day. Some, however.
placed the date "a hours later.

POPE LEO'S BIRTHPLACE.
Childhood Of the Late Pontf Passed in Beautiful Carpnetc
Among Ideal Surroundings Villa of the Family
Treasure House of Art
Especial correspondence

The native place of the late Pope
Leo XIII, famous as he is in the his
tory OF the present generation, is not
much visited by the tourist. Car
pineto, the town of his birth, is still
little known, at least to English
speaking people.
The journey from Rome to Carpi-
neto though long and wearisome, is
full OF interest, especially in the fair
month of May. AS the train rounds
the verge of the Roman Campagna on
the side of the Tusculan hills. the ut
tie town stands out brilliantly against
the green vineyards at their base;
and over the broad plain where at
intervals a semi-ruined watch tower
breaks the monotony rise the cities
with ancient names and long histor-
ical records, such as Palestrina and
Labico and Segni. On the other side,
on the highest point of all stands the
two towers cutting the eastern sky,
and marking the situation of Rocca
Priora. the descendant of the ancient
Rocca Perjura, or swearing stone.'
where at this boundary between two
warning states treaties were sworn
and obligations and contracts made
with all solemnty.
Here, in the midst of this fair coun-
try, rises the villa of the Pecci fam
ily-a two-storied building, with a
high "loggia" or balcony on its roof.
the three arches of which look to-
ward Carpineto. Only one-half the
house is built; the other half, which
was to face toward Monelancio. after
about two centuries, is still unbuilt.
Here in the grounds of this Casino,
or villa of the Peccis, the young stu
dent, who was afterward to reach the
highest position in the church, passed
his vacations. An old and withered
chestnut tree which stands here is
still pointed out as his tree; and I'M
der its shadow he read over and over
again, until his mind was penetrated
with them, the sonorous verses of
his favorite authors, Virgil and Hor-
ace. The influences of the studies he
made here may be recognized in the
Latin poems he himself composed
afterward.
On the way you pass the Church
of st. Agostino, which Leo XIII re-
newed from its former dilapidated
state-it dates from the twelfth CEN
tury-and built very beautiful con-
vent beside 1t, which he transferred
to the Augustinians. Over ON the
other side of the valley is the Fran
ciscan monastery, which when | knew
