Mexican, Ambassador Senior
de Azpiroz.

Amiens, France, March 25.-Jules
Verne, the famous novelist, died here
Friday. His family was at his bed
side.
Verne was born at Nantes in 1928.
Like many other famous authors, he
began his career by studying law, but
he found this profession not congenial
and began to crafty his taste for writ
ing. At that time the stage offered
the best inducements to young au-
thor. and he wrote plays and librettos,
and for time was secretary of the
Theater Lyrique. In 1863 he pub

and this decided his future. He had

senator Reads Dime Novels.

Senator Platt, of Connecticut, belongs
to the dime novel reading class of sen.
ators. Like the late Senator Hoar, Of
Massachusetts, he often seeks mental
relaxation in reading the yellow-ba cked
thrillers. One night not long since
Mr.. Plat was unable to sleep. Finally
he rang for a bellboy and told him to
go to the room of Secretary of Com
merce Metcalf, who lives on the floor
below Senator Platt, at the Arlington
hotel. "Ask him for some dime novels"
said the senator. In few minutes the
boy returned with several choice pieces
of literature, among them being Ante
lope Abe, the Awful, Antagonistical. An
initiating Avenger OF Alyarado, Ari-
IONA" Another was called Diamond
Dick, the Daring Demon Dead Shot De-
tective." A few chapters from these
intellectual works had the desired effect

Senior de Azpiroz, Mexican Ambassa-
dor Dies in Washington.
Washington, March 25.-Senor Don
Manuel de Azpiroz, Mexico's first am
bassador to the United States, died Fri
day at the Mexican embassy at 4:55 p.
M, surrounded by the members of his
family. Although sick man since
last fall the ambassadors death was
due to relapse caused by exposure on
Inauguration day. Against the advice
of his physicians Mr.. Azpiroz left his
sick room on March 4, last, and attend
ed the inaugural ceremonies at the
capitol, where he came near fainting.
For years the ambassador has suf-
fered from gastritis and this weakened
his heart. His death Friday afternoon
was unaccompanied by suffering.
His Career.
Born at Puebla, Mexico, June 9, 1886,
Senior de Azpiroz studied law, but left
his law Office to enter the Mexican
army. He rendered gallant service in
the uprising of his country against the
French intervention and rose from
fall of Quertaro he was appointed pros
ecuting attorney in the court martial of
Macmillan, Miramon and Mejai. When
the revolution of Tuxtepec, under Gen.
Porfirio Diaz, overthrow the existing
government Col. Azpiroz retired to pri-
vate life. In May, 1890, he became as.
sistant secretary of foreign relations in
the cabinet of Gen. Diaz and held that
position until his appointment as first
ambassador on Mexico to the United
States. The imperial house of Austria
has always taken the position that
Senior Azpiroz through his connection
with the court martial of Macmillan
was in part responsible for the latter's
execution and during the early days Of
the service of Mr.. Azpiroz here this
fact proved Of keen embarrassment tt
himself and the Austrian representa-
tive; finally, however, it was arranged
that when brought together at off1cia
functions these two diplomats should
| exchange formal greetings. This, how
ever was not until an embarrassing in
! cident had occurred at the white house
| during the administration of Presiden
Mckinley when the Mexican ambassa
dor was assigned to escort to the din
ing room the wife of the Austrian am
bassador and the latter felt compelled
to decline.

with flourish. Darrell stepped out
and swept his eyes over the curious
faces Of the assembled throng.
Almost the first to meet his eyes
was that of the young man whom he
had met, under such tragic circum-
stances, at Fawkbil1's, and whom he
had later seen at the Half Way house.

Darrell as he turned and assisted his
companions to alight.
Left and right the crowd broke to
permit the ladies an unobstructed pas
sage into the hotel. Darrell stepped
back to attend to the luggage which
the driver was handing down to him.
An exclamation from Elise Avery
caused him to turn in time to witness
dramatic little episode. Elise and
her aunt had halted midway of the
lane Of curious faces and the youth
whom Darrell knew, was confronting
the girl in blank amaze.
For one intense moment the two
gazed at each other. "Elise!" came in

EI0ITORIA Al

Il It was feared from the silence OBJ
served for some days that some plot
against the League of Municipalities
was being hatched in high regions.
In those centres everything is done
by stealth and in secret manner. as
if the object to be attained was to
cause effect through surprise.
1t was feared that some new attack
was being planned against the above
League and already, in effect, the
treacherous scheme has been disco
vered.
1t is a report of three Porto Rican
LAWYERS, three prominent lawyers who
have given an opinion favorable to
the obstinate view Of the government.
This ought to be the last effort on
the part of the government, the last
obstacle it has to overcome.
This appears to be the final game
which in all things and on every oc-
casion the redemptionist government
has invariably resorted. to in order to
throw a responsibility-resting upon
it exclusively-on the shoulders OF
the men of the country.
The proceeding is too well known to
take any one by surprise. 1t is a
game that has been seen too often to
make any impression, or carry any
weight with the public.
The tricks of the jugglers have
been discovered and the efforts of the
cheap and ordinary prestidigitators to
appear as marvellous miracle workers
have been in vain.
Ire soliciting that report which might
by proof of professional ability. but
which has not convinced single per-
son, the reverend congregation has
grievously lost time.
Against the contention of those elo-
ouent and erudite Counsellors collec-
led on this occasion to reinforce the
group, is the convincing and valuable
opinion and authority oe the Messrs
Acufia, Lopez Landron and other emf.
nent legal authorities who boldly and
definitely uphold the legality of the
League of municipalities.
Does the government believe that it
has strengthened it's position it obtain
ing that report, that it will serve as a
damper ou the desires of those who
wish to sustain the League?
If it does, if it looks for advantage
from such belief, it is doomed to the
bitter disappointment when it awakens
to the reality.
This time-and it is neither sur-
prisinp nor stranGe--the government
has been very stupid.
The report of those three lawyers
was tardily solicited, when everyone
knows than in official spheres the fee
ling towards the League of Municipa :
|lities is intensely hostile; when nobody
lis ignorant of the fact that the mos
crafty adversary of the League is Mr.
