Killed in the Bull Ring.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 2l.-Cuckoo, a
matador noted throughout Mexico, was
gored to death in the Jaurez bull ring
Sunday in the presence of several thous-
and people, the majority of whom were
Americans. Cuckoo, in killing the
fourth bull, made a bungling job of it,
and felled the animal only to his knees.
The matador withdrew his sword, and
bending over endeayored to drive the
point of the weapon into the beasts
brain, to produce speedy death. At this
critical moment the bull gathered his
ebbing strength and tossed his tormentor
alof, MORALLY wounding him. Cuckoo's
mangled form was wrapped in a blanket
and hurried from the arena. The victOri-
Gus bull expired, the rabble cheered, the
Americans felt gratifed at having seen a
real bull fight, and few women tainted.

New York stock Market.

New York, March 81, IL a. m.-The
stock market this morning was extremely
irregular, but large part Of the time it
ruled fractionally above Saturdays close.
AS a rule, however, the improvements
we're not important. In most of the in
stances, transactions were on very small
scale. In the general list prices failed
to rise a point above Saturdays close,
and in some cases reactions set in during
the second hour which wiped out nearly
all the early gains.

thousands of dollars, the fabulous treas
ure buried in the time of the lncas, and

American engineers, according to re-
ports brought to this city by a South
American official. Adyices from Bolivia
tell of great excitement among the ma

Fatal Mistake.

DR.. John Edward Janney, one of the
foremost physicians of Frederick county,
accidentally killed himself at an early
hour yesterday morning by taking an
overdose of chloroform. He had been
calling on patient and was returning
home in his buggy. In his pockets he
had bottle of liquor. In the dark
ness he got the bottles mixed, and
swallowed about three ounces of the
chloroform. Realizing his mistake, he
urged his colored driver to keep him
awake at all hazards until physicians
could be summoned from Winchester.
A wild ride across the country at mid
night to save the dying man then took
place, but when DR.. Janney's home was
reached life was extinct. Nearly every
physician from Winchester hurried to
DR.. Janney's home, only to find that
they had arrived too late. Six weeks
ago yesterday DR.. Janney was married
to Miss Leila Baker, daughter of Mr..
Julian W. Baker, leading resident
of Frederick county. By a former
marriage he leaves two children-Elias
and Miss Rosa Janney. DR.. Janney was
son of DR.. Daniel Janney the Oldest
practitioner in Frederick county, and he
is also survived by brother, DR.. War
ner NJ. Janney, and a sister, Mrs. John
NJ. Silver, of that county. He was
ffty-one years of age. DIR. Janney was
member Of the Frederick county
board of health, of the Virginia State
Medical Society, and the Medical
Society of Frederick and Clarke counties.

MONDAY EVENING. MAR. 81. 1904

A REPORT of the formation OF pow
erful protective coalition by Brazil,
Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, and Chile
AGAINST the United States has reached
New Orleans from sources believed to be
authentic. Since the Panama incident
those countries, it is said, fear absorption
as result of the Roosevelt administra-
TONS policy, which they believe will
eventually result in annexing the
whole of South America, if not checked.
In reference to this report the Philadel-
phia Record says;
Five South American republics may
he unite mistaken in the belief that Mr..
Roosevelt is to continue Indefinitely In
the presidency or that the precedents
he establishes will control our future
policy; but the report that they nave
formed coalition to protect themselves
from our Entertainments is Interesting,
for it gives us a glimpse of ourselves as
others see us, md it indicates how much
fear and ill-will we are srousing IN the
southern part OF our continent, over
which we pretend to be exercising pro-
lection. and whose trade we sincerely
desire. South American republics are
said to have derived from Panama the
impression that when one Of them shall
suffer from an insurrectiOn-a common
ailment-we shall recognize the insur-
gents and virtually annex the region
they occupy.

In various parts of the country the
feeling against the English sparrow as
the deadly enemy of attractive and
popular American native birds has been
spreading extensively. In some States
it is misdemeanor t. feed these de-
structive pests. Certainly it was a mis-
take ever to ship them across the Allan
tic. They are indefatigable little buc-
cancers, and they have thinned wofully
the fiocks of our most melodious singers.
Retributive justice has laid heavy hands
upon them in the extreme rigors of the
merciless winter and spring, and they
have persisted by millions. Alas, how
ever, the really popular and precious
birds have been equally unfortunate
North of Mexico, the American song
sters and their kin have succumbed to
cold and starvation this season in con-
siderable numbers.

Pope's Joke Costs Guard $4,000.

From time immemOrial the Noble
Guard of the Vatican has received an
nually at this time of the year gift
amounting to $4,000 American money
Pope Plus Y summoned their command
err, Prince Rospigliosi, the other day,
and asked if he did not think the COM
pany would be willing to devote $1,000
of this sum to charity. The Prince
said he was perfectly willing for his part,
and would talk with his men on the sub
iect. When the guardsmen heard of
the proposition they holly objected to
infringing upon an ancient custom, and
said they would rather take nothing than
a part of the amount. Prince Rospig-
liosi reported the verdict to the Pope,
who blandly observed: $50 much the
better. Your companions in arms are
worthy fellows, and, thanks to them, [
shall have the whole $4,000 for my
poor"

REPUBLICANS profess to believe that
the increase in the amount paid for pen
sions just ordered by the President
will not swell the rolls more than three
millions above the present total, but
Others who are in position to know say
that the new ruling will mean a yearly
increase at once of not less than thirteen
million dollars. But this is the people,
money and to secure his election Mr..
Roosevelt wouldn't care if it cost ten

The reported harmony between Sena'
tor Hanna's successor, Charles II. Dick,
and Senator Foraker has not materialized.
Ia fact an open war for the control of the
Ohio republican organization has broken
out since the recent announcement that
two Foraker men had been appointed
postmasters, after having been held up
for over a year by Senator Hanna. Sena-
tor Foraker says that Senator Dick is try
ing to boss the State, and gives notice
that he will resent this to the bitter end.
Governor Herrick is lining upwith Dick,
publicly demanding that the latter shall
have equal consideration with Foraker
in the distribution ofpatronage. Judging
from the way Mr.. Dick is winning IN the
Ohio primaries he may yet dictate terms
to Mr.. Foraker or even to Mr.. Roosevelt

HOUSE. -

In the House today the chaplain re-
ferred feelingly to the death of Repre-
sentative Charles w. Thompson, of
Alabama, who died yesterday. Mr..
Hepburn arose to question of highest
privilege. Mr.. Baker, he said, had
violated the usages and the courtesy the
House extended to him by granting him
leave to print, by inserting in the Re-
cord newspaper attack on Representa-
tive Babcock, of Wisconsin, charging
him with the loading down of the mails
under his frank, so that the amount OF
mails handled by his home postoflices
and railroads would increase their bust
ness and compensation. The railroad
allowed Mr.. Babcock, the paper declares
as a reward, the right to issue passes.
Mr. Hepburn said that the article was
cowardly attack which would not be per-
mitted on the floor of the House. He
moved that Mr.. Bakers entire speech
be expunged from the Record.
Mr. Williams arose to the defense Of
Mr.. Baker, whom, he said, had made a
mistake in mentioning a member name.
He said that only that part of the speech
referring to Mr.. Babcock should be
stricken from the Record.
Mr.. Williams attempted to debate the
motion,
Mr.. Hepburn demanded the previous
question.
Mr.. Baker, at this point, attempted
to be heard. Refusal Of the Speaker to
recognize him, brought Mr.. Baker to his
feet.
care you afraid of the truth?' he
cried out to the republicans. The
Speaker called him to order. The de-
mand for the previous question was car
ried.
The roll call resulted 1870 to 9S, and
then without further opposition the mo-
ton to expunge Mr.. Bakers speech was
carried.
After the transaction Of some routine
business Mr.. Wiley, of Alabama, offered
resolutions of sympathy and regret of the
death of Representative Thompson, his
colleague.
The resolutions were adopted and the
