POPE LEO HONORED.
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.

A Good Thing.
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.

ADMIRAL GROWXINSHIELD RETIRES.
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.

FUGUE SPREADS Iii MEXICO.
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?

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.

If some of us were caught and caged ?
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.

Cuban Reciprocity Treaty.
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.
