Thousands, Fro? ali Paris of the Earth, Do Him Homage. Celebrates 25th Anniversary of His Coronation. Rome, March 3.-The 25th anniver? sary of the coronation of Pope Leo was celebrated today witb. all the grandeur and impressiveness associat? ed with the high ceremonies of the Catholic church and amid a display of enthusiasm and emotion on the partfcf the vast assemblage .? gathered within the walis Of St. Peter's such* as vied with the greatest of previous demon? strations of reverence and affection for the aged pontiff. Tonight all the sacred edifices in Rome-monasteries, convents, semi? naries, and also many private houses -were i??nminated in commemoration of the event, the Trastevere quarter and the Leonine City especially pre? senting a blaze of light, while the general effect was heightened by the barning ef bengal fires throughout the city. Pope Leo, who supported admir? ably the fatigue and excitement of to? day's ceremony, after having retired, rose again from his couch and goiBg to the window of his bedroom gazed for awhile upon this scene of illumi? nation. The view from the vatican, embracing a stretch of seven miles brilliant with light, was a marvelous one, and his holiness exclaimed as he withdrew from the window: "This will, indeed, be a pleasant thing to dream of." The ceremony in St. Pteer's cathe? dral lasted two hours and a quarter, and atlhough it was noticeable that Pope Leo felt the effects of his recent cold, all were .surprised to see how weil he seemed. His voice was strong, his gestures vigorous and the frantic cheering which greeted his arrival and departure gave him visible pleasure and brought a faint tinge cf color to his face.

German Syrup is the special prescrip? tion of Dr. A. Boscb.ee, a celebrated Ger? man physician, and is acknowledged to be one of the most fortunate discoveries in medicine. It quickly cares coughs, colds and lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not an experimental medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving statisfiaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season con?rm.;. Two million bottles sold annually. Boschee's German Syrup was introduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world. Three doses will relieve any ordinary cough. Price 25 and 75 cts.

Quits Because His Flag Ship Was Not Big Enough. ? .Washington, March 3.-Two interest? ing and significant commnnictaions were received today at the navy de? partment from the European station. One was from Rear Admiral Arent Schuyler Crowninshield, commanding the European squadron, asking to be placed on the retired list of the navy under the provisions of the personal I law. The other was from Lieut, Henry H. Ward, naval secretary to Admiral Crowninshield, resigning his commisison in the navy. Prompt action was taken by Secre? tary Moody in regard to the case of Rear Admiral Crowninshield, and it was decided to relieve him from active duty at once, in order that he might come home or visit European capitals, whichever should be his desire. His application for retirement undoubtedly will he granted. Rear Admiral Charles S. Cotton, commandant of the navy yard at Nor? folk, Va., was assigned to the com? mand of the squadron and will relin? quish his present duty at once and start for Europe as soon as he can ar? range his official and private affairs. The European squadron is composed of the cruiser Chicago, flagship; the protected cruiser Albany_.aiid Cincin? nati, the cruiser Raleigh and the gun? boat Machias. The navy department contented it? self at first with the brief statement of the admiral's application for retire? ment without explanation of the rea? son therefor. It is known, however, that the officer was dissatisfied with , the arrangement of the armored squad? rons following the Caribbean manoeu? vres last winter which deprived him of the further use of the Illinois as a flagship. The circumstances under which he came to be deprived of this ship, one of the latest and most formidable in this or any other navy, were entirely impersonal. The general board, of which Admiral Dewey is head, had de? cided upon the creation of a magnifi? cent squadron of ironclads of the first type to constitute the "home squad? ron," guarding the Atlantic and Gulf coasts as the famous British "channel squadron" form a first wall of defense in that country. It was ! necessary in the jadgment of the j board, in order to make this fleet of j the necessary strength to serve the purpose in view, to include the lili-1 nois. Moreover, such battleships are neither effective nor eonomical as j cruisers and the Illinois was doing that sort of duty in Europe. So carry-1 ing out its general policy and without regard to personal feelings the navy department assigned Admiral Crown? inshield to command the Chicago and j keep the Illinois on the North Atlant? ic station. Admiral Crowninshield did not care to go back to the Medi? terranean and to the ports of northern Europe where his flag had floated over the battleship in an inferior j craft ; so he protested. That protest was made during the manoeuvres and it was given due consideration, but the original plan held. Admiral Crowninshield retires under | that section of the personal act which ; permits him to do so at an advanced j grade in consideration of at least forty years creditable service. He is now ! No. 20 on the list of rear admirals and thus in the junior grade so tbat his retirement will place him in the first grade where his retired pay will be $5,625 per annum, or $1,500 more than he would receive were he retired in his present grade.

Crazy Countrymen Fight Physi? cians Who Would Saye Them. Mazatlan, Mexico, March 4.-There, was one death in the city today from the plague? that of a year old girl. There are now 194 persons isolated and under observation. . The statement that the plague ex? ists at Villa Union has been confirm? ed, and Dr. Burton has been ordered to that place. Dr. Carbajal, who was there yesterday, states that two fatal cases occurred. The houses of the victims were burned and the persons who dwelt with them isolated. Villa Union is on the road to the interior country, so no efforts will be spared to check the epidemic at that point. Governor Ca?edo has just received a telphone message that serious distur? bances have occurred at Villa Union. More than one hundred men of the lower class attacked the sanitary agents sent from this city and wound? ed one of them. The agents escaped and could not be overtaken by the mob, which threw .rocks and drove them out of the pueblo. The mob then began to hunt up Drs. Carbajal and Burton, whom the people consider responsible for burning two houses where plague cases occurred, and de? clare they would kill them to stop fur? ther destruction of houses. The Gov? ernor has ordered a detail of the 11th infantry to proceed to Villa Union. The mrals have also been sent. Descendants of Pocahontas. In the February issue of The Twin Terriories there is a very interesting article relating to the descendants cf Pocahontas. As ought to be generally known, this young daughter of Pow hattan, after saving Capt. Smith from the fury of her father, was baptized and married John Rolfe, an English? man. By him. she was taken to England, where, as the account states, "the wild flower, transplanted j from her native heath to the moisture laden atmosphere of England, wilted and died on March 17, 1617, at Grave? send, England, in the nineteenth year j of her age-a mere girl, almost a child, at her death." This child wife bore one son, Thom? as, who was brought back and grew to manhood in Virginia, fie had a daughter who married a Bolling, of a prominent English family, and a granddaughter of this Bolling married a Randolph, and one of their sons was the famous "John Randolph, of Roan? oke," and other members of that not? ed Virginia family. Through another member of this same family descended Thomas Jefferson and Gen. Robert E. Lee. They were not of the Pocahontas stock, but were related by marriage and descent to the daughter of old King Powhattan.. And so we find that this "wild flower" of the Virginia forests became the progenitor either by direct descent or by intermarriages, of some of tho most famous people of a state famous for its great men. Probably there is not another instance in American his? tory to match it. There have been doubts and disputes as to whether Pocahontas really saved the life of Capt. Smith, but there is no room for doubting the records of her marriage, nor of her descendants. These at least arejauthentic history, and prove beyond cavil that many a proud name in Vir? ginia is in some way descended from the Indian girl whose name and histo? ry have filled many a story of both fact and fiction.-Montgomery Advertiser. The government is to call in the new issue of 2-cent stamps, and print from another design. The new stamp has not pleased the public. It is said to be too elaborate and heavy and the picture of George Washington is not admired. "Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved," writes Mrs. W. Watkins of Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneu monia nacl played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides. Doctors treated him. but he grew worse every day. At length we tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, and our darling was saved. He's now sound, and well." Everybody ought to know it's the only sure cure for coughs, colds and all lung diseases. Guar? anteed by J. F. W. DeLorme, Druggist. Price 50c and $1. Trial bottles free. Tragedy Averted. MONROE DOCTRINE ls an Empty Pretension, Savs Prof. Wagner of Germany. Berlin, March 3.-"The Monroe doc? trine is an empty pretension behind which is neither energetic "will nor ac? tual power." Thus Prof. Adolf Wag? ner, the celebrated political economist ! of Berlin University, begins his reply j to two questions submitted by a cor- . responden"-whether the Monroe doc? trine was in a moral sense as binding as international law, and what action seems dictated first in the interest of the German people and then in the in? terest of the European nations. . ''Scarcely could such a doctrine be forced upon a conquered people after extraordinary victories," continues the professor. "No people and no great juler ever proclaimed such a doctrine. Neither England nor Russia, nor Na? poleon at the height of his power ever made a similar pretension. But not "even the United States' predominant interests are behind this unheard-of assumption. South America is neither geographically nor historically so allied with North America and the United -States as to justify such pretension, even from a North American stand? point." Answering the second question, Prof. Waener says: "It is only the divisions cf European politics and lack of in? sight into and recognition of the soli? darity of the interests of Middle, West ern and Southern Europe, which hith? erto has been and will remain the chief seats of human civilization, that ex? plains why Europe, why Germany even takes this empty pretension into con? sideration." Baron von Zedlitz ur"d Neukirch, a member of the Prussian Diet and edi? tor of the Berlin Post, wrote : "Tho Monroe doctrine is from the ! standpoint of international law a non- 1 binding monologue whose enforcement is purely a question of force. Ger? many's interests, however, are so lit? tle touched by the doctrine, at least as interpreted in the Venezuelan in- ! cident, that we have no practical need for opening the question." Prof. Hans von Delbrueck, cf Ber? lin University, discussing Venezuela in the Preussische Jahrbuecher, al? ludes to the "perfidious nature" of the American policy and advocates an alliance between Great Britain and Germany "which," he says, "would be the strongest coaltion in the world. " New York Cotton Exchange. New York, March 5.-There was an activejand exciting opening in cotton I today. Apparently having rallied heir t forces over night, the bull clique gave such vigorous support that prices shot up seven to eleven points immediately following the call, hold? ing very strong for fifteen minutes, when scattered realizing caused a set? back to 9.80 for May and 9.58 for July. Covering was on a heavy scale. There was also considerable bu\'ing for room traders. Business at the opening was attend? ed by considerable excitement. There was a very large attendance of brok? ers and the galleries were crowded with onlookers. The fluctuations in the Liverpool market added to the confusion here. After the first half hour of the ses? sion the bears became more aggressive and sold along the line. May was forced down to 9.76 and July to 9.55. This attack of the bear faction was something of a surprise and disap? pointment to outsiders because of the strong bull support given at the open- ! insr. During the greater part of the af? ternoon the market was without spe? cial feature, but in the last half hour the bull side renewed its aggressive tactics and stood well under the at? tacks of the shorts. Most of tho active options were well supported, and according to reports under the leadership of the bull clique. The closing was steady at prices about the best of the day and materially better than'at yesterday's close. The day's business approximated 900,000 bales.

I saw a man run hard to cross the track close in the front of a Long Isl? and railroad train. Then he stopped and watched the train go by. Then he stood and watched it out of sight. Then he went his leisurely way. He seemed to be all right, and probably was all right. That was a man. I saw a woman in a street car open a satchel and take out a purse, close the satchel and open the purse, take out a dime and close the purse, open the satchel and put in the purse, close the satchel and lock both ends. Then she gave the dime| to the conductor and took a nickel in exchange. Then she opened the satchel and took out the purse, closed the satchel and opened the purse, put in the nickel and closed the purse, opened the satchel and put in the purse, closed the satchel and locked both ends. Then she felt to see if her back hair was all right, and it was all right, and she was ali right, and just as sweet That was a woman. I saw a monkey-but he was caged.

Washington, March 4.-There is & probability that the Cuban reciprocity treaty will be taken up at the extra, session of the Senate in advance of the Panama Canal treaty, but the order of business will not be determined for & day or two. When the Senate goes into executive session tomorrow the treaties will be referred to the comittee on foreign relations, a proceeding which is made necessary by the expiration, of the old Congress and the opening of the new. It is the desire of Senator?? Cullom, chairman of the committee., to have the Senate dispose of as many as possible of the pending treaties with Mexico and Guatemala, the re? ciprocity treaties and also some others of minor importance. It is generally believed that the called session wr'D continue for two or three weeks. More Riots. Distarbances of strikers are not nearly as grave as an individual disorder of the system.
