BUFFALO BILL AND
 HIS SHOW GOOD PLEASED FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE IN PHOENIX YES-
 TERDAY. Numerous Features Go To Make Up a Show that Is Novel and Striking. Col. Cody Not Yet Wreck.

Fully fifteen thousand people saw Buffalo Bill and his show in Phoenix yesterday. The attendance was high ly satisfactory to the management and it is only fair to say that the show was satisfactory to the two big audi ences. It was a little bigger and bet ter, even, than it was two years ago, when last seen in this city And as for Col Cody himself, he is far from being a senile wreck for he rode his fiery steed about the arena as erect and confident as of yore, and gave his usual exhibition of fancy shooting.
 The capacity of the tent is ten thousand people and in the afternoon it was almost filled. The evening crowd was not quite as large but there were not great number of vacant seats. Mir. Thompson, super intendent of admissions, stated that fifteen thousand for both perfor- mances was a very conservative esti- mate.
 We are highly pleased" said MT. Thompson to The Republican. We think we have drawn very well, com ing just after the circus and just be- fore the fair
 The Congress of Rough Riders of the World'' was as picturesque as ever and it looked like. there were more riders than two years ago. There were the cowboys, dressed in their chaps and Stetsons and riding their wiry little ponies; Indians, Mexicans, Cossacks and equestrians of other nationalities vied with each other for daring of horsemanship and brilliance of costume
 Col. Cody dashed into the arena amid storm of applause He "set up" his horse and the animal pranced around as though imbued with the youthful spirit and vigor of his rider Later Buffalo Bill raced around the arena, shooting glass balls thrown into the air by an attendant He broke twenty -or more of the balls, missing only one and smashing even that with a second shot. A famous shot soon after showed what he could do. giving a marvellous exhibi- tion with .3S and .22 rifles, but he ming horse. as did Buffalo Bill.
 The buffalo hunt, in which Col. Cody fired numerous blanks into the midst of a little herd of the clumsy beasts, was not wildly exciting. The crowd would have liked it better had the buffalo merely been driven around the arena for exhibition pur-

GREATEST ARMY
Of Excursionists Being Shipped Across
Atlantic From New York.

New York, May 15.-Crowding to the
gunwales every available ocean liner that
can be despatched abroad, the greatest
army of excursionists that ever left this
port for foreign parts is today being
finally shipped across the Atlantic For
weeks every inch of accommodation on
the outbound steamers has been en-
gagged in advance for this record exodus
of Americans, that is drawing multitudes
from every section Of the country.
While fully fifty thousand souls have
been packed off for Europe from this
city within the last few weeks, many
thousands more are today besieging the
piers. as the ocean greyhounds are sent
spinning down the bay in an almost con-
slant procession. When the record oil
this springs human shipments is finally
tabulated, the experts declare. it will
show that no previous year has epualled
the present for foreign travel by the peo-
pie of the United States.

SHOWERS OF METEoRiTEs
May Mark Comets Passing Says Prof
HaIl-Others Say No.

Washington, May 15.-Among the
scientists here there is some difference
of opinion as to the effect the comet
will have upon the earth. but the diff
ferences are minor Prof. Asaph Hall
of the naval observatory. would not be
surprised if there We're a shower of
meteorites.
Others, and they appear in the ma
jority, expect no disturbances will
mark the passing of the comet. Edwin
F. Naulty Of New York who has been
at the observatory, making telescope
and spectroscopic observations of the
visitor, contends that such shower as
Prof. Hall deems possible, cannot oc-
cur.
The tail of Halley's comet, to all
intents and purposes is celestial
searchlight" said Mr.. Naulty today.
He asserts that the tail of the comet
is not composed of gas or OF minute
particles of matter or of meteoric
bodies.
There will be no collision Of the
earth and the comet" continues Mr..
Naulty, nor will the earth be envelop-
ed in poisonous gases. The effect Of the
passage may be to cause great con-
densation of atmospheric vapOrs. so
that automatically the earth will be
provided with sort of shield which
will act like lead screen used to pro-
tect X-Ray operators"

TAKES WORLDS RECORD.
For Travel on Various Lines With One
Billion Passengers Yearly.

New York, May 15.-That the sub
ways in this city carried last year more
passengers than The total population OF
the United States. Canada, Mexico,
France and Germany combined, and
three times the present population of
This country is the astounding fact just
brought to<light through figures COM
piled by the Public Service Commission
During the twelve months covered Dy
the report no less than 256,7689S1 per-
sons were carried by the underground
lines Ir other words the number of
tickets purchased would provide three
rides for every man, woman and child
il. the United States, and the tickets
thems selves would make a strip long
enough to stretch from New York to
San Francisco and half way back again,
or 1000 miles in all. The greatest point
of congestion continues to be down town
since more persons purchase tickets at
Brooklyn Bridge than at any other sta
ton. AT this point l6,9S0,474 persons
bought tickets during the year, but in
spite of the fact that it is the terminus
for the great downtown ard Brooklyn
travel, it's lead over more northerly
points was extremely small. The Grand
1eltIdi ctdtioIi, OI foIly-SecOIO SlTet',
was a close second while the Times
Square Station only three blocks away
had two-thiros as many. Together
these two uptown stations, which only
a few years ago would have been con-
sidered as lying in the outskirts of the
city, accounted for over 100000 pas
sergers, or fifty percent more than
Brooklyn Bridge, furnishing one of the
most striking illustrations of the north
ward growth Ct the city. Taking into
account the passengers carried by ele-
waited and surface cars. it is probable
that nearly billion persons are car
ried by the local transportation lines
every year thus giving to New York by
a wide margin the greatest traffic of it's
kind Of any city In the world. Indeed
VIXEN the new subways now planned are
completed, it is estimated by experts
that within a few years the number of
passengers handled annually will equal
the population of the whole world

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The $150,00O Sharaf block fire at Liv-

prove heavy blow to Livermore Falls
from the fact that it is more than
probable the block will not be rebuilt
on so substantial lines as the one de-
stroyed. That I. G. Sharaf. the owner,
or other parties will use the walls left
standing for two-story block is pre-
dicted. The Livermore Falls Trust and
Banking Co. has not as yet attempted
to open it's vault, but to all appear
ances the big vault is all right and the
banks securities safe from damage.
While the big block was burning Hon.
