The bull fight took place In a large wooden amphitheatre In the centre of the town, and a long hitch took place whilp the crowds waited for the band. The band had to appear before the fight occurred, because the management had advertised Inspiring music" to accompany the fight.

All kinds of dice gapies and roulette were on tap Gen.

Edward Redhead Again Made Foreman of That Body. Judge Aspinall, In County Court, Part 1., this morning, In wearing in the Grand.

Jury for May, paid a compliment to District Attorney Clark for th efficient manner In which ball -cases had been brought to trial. The rapidity with which this had been done, he aald, was not only astonishing but gratifying and a cause for congratulation. In Bplte of the protest of Edward Redhead, he was made foreman, Judge Aspinall saying It would be considered a personal favor by him If he would serve In that capacity. Mr. Redhead explained that it would be necessary for him to be excused two or three times during the month, but the Judge said there would be no difficulty about that, and so he took the oath.

-The complexion of the new Grand Jury Is as follows: Edward C. Redhead (foreman)', accountant, 170 Batnbrldge street. Arp D. Wellbrock, grain and feed, 382 Bainbrldge stieet. Freeborn Smith, pianos, 387 Greene avenue.

John H. Delaer, real estate, 482 Tenth street. John McGrew, florist, 462 Degraw street. Richard S. Needham, fancy goods, 206 Gold street.

Law, coal, 323 Seventh street.

Henry Vogel, engraver, 43 NlhtB street. Judge Aspinall read to the Grand Jury the sections of the Code defining their duties. He said that the last Grand -Jury had done its work well, that there were not more than two or three cases of felony which had not been tried. Consequently, In that direction, there was little for them to do sit present 'As one of the presiding justices of the court he was happy to way that nearly all or the Jail cases had been disposed of and that before July 15 next all of the persons now out on ball will have been brought to trial. This desirable conditions of affairs, the Judge said, waa due to the remarkable energv displayed by District Attorney John F.

Clarke and, eo far as he anew, was unprecedented In the history of the offlae which he fills. Great credit ts given to Judges Aspinall and Hurd, who presided in Part 11.. where the ball cases were tried In April, by many lawyers for the manner In which they facilitated the work of the District Attorney. Wh-n ball cases were called and lawyers asked for postponements because they had failed to get their clients to court, the refused all such requests and promptly forfeited the ball bonds In each Instance. This was such a painful lesson that, after a few days, lawyers had their defendants on hand and were ready to proceed to trial.

Only one-seventh of the park proper, be said, would be required for the reservoir. He called upon Deputy Commissioner Moffett, who supported Mr. Doughertys statement that the site as the best and only one to be had. A reservoir built on that site, he said, would hold about gallons and would be of incalcula. bte assistance to the Brooklyn water supply, which now- has to depend mainly upon tts Milburn reservoir, which -has a capacity of only 250,000,000 gallons.

Devlins lawyer, as to whether or not he had also been a guest at the Clarendon Hotel, he declined to answer on the Waal plea. Mr. Friend explained to the Judge that he would attempt to prove that Mr. Hill waa a man who could not be believed. He said that while Mr.

The photographers aboard the Presidents train have had a number of hairbreadth escapes. At nearly every stop one or more of them have been bbliged to fight their way through a crowd of villagers on the station platform while the train was moving out It Is a hard job to get through a mass of a thousand persons with a bulky camera, and when a person has to climb down from the top of a lumber pile or the summit of a stack of cotton hales, the operation Is all the more soul-stirring. Mr. Strohmeyer, who Is the photographer In ordinary for the press representatives, was In the second story of the railroad station on Tuesday In a little Alabama town when, to his sorrow, the train started. He Is a long, loose-jointed gentleman with a' picturesque bunch of red hair on his chin.

He gripped his camera and started down the step six at a time. A bulky colored man was coming Jn at the same time, but went down like a blade of grass before the Strohmeyer struck the crowd oh the platform like a catapult, and wept through It just In time to grip the rail of the swiftly-moving train. A porter, who was on the step, hauled up the scared camera artist. In order to prevent the crowd of photographers and. newspaper men from being sown all over the itinerary by missing the train.

Secretary Cortelyou has given the engineer orders to blow his whistle twice hereafter, a minute before starting. This will give the members of the party just enough time to get aboard. ABOUT lIDJIfliir ITEMS 1. 1 f-v. Controller Colers Figures on Ex I 4 pense of Carrying on City ''f Government.

Controller Coler to-day gave out a statement purporting to show that nearly 83 per cent, of the total tax budget for 1901 Is mandatory. Of the entire budget of 1901, amounting to $98,. 100,413.43, Mr. Coler figures that the mandatory" and practically mandatory" Items other than salaries, wages, amount to 838,597,460.98 about 37 2-5 per cent. On the total of mandatory and "practically mandatory" Items of all classes, I.

amounting to the Controller declares that mandatory" and piactlcally mandatory Items, other than salaries, wages, amount to 336,597,358.98 about 45 per cent Thus the "mandatory and practically mandatory Items amount In all to 82 2-6 per cent, of the total tax budget than that of Nicaragua, and was in every way preferable to the Nicaragua route, but because It was Impossible for the United States to secure control of the French property, the Commission recommended the adoption of the Nicaragua route. -M. Hutln still refused to consider anf proposition to sell out, until a short time ago, when he learned that M. Bruneau-Varllla, representing many stockholders In the French company, had been sent to this country with an offer to sell the property. It Is supposed that M.

Hutln has finally been instructed by his company to ceme to terms with the United States, realizing that that was the only way which the canal could be completed. Th offer to- the CanAl Commission followed. i In Its preliminary report the Commission said that the value of the work done on the Panama Canal, amounting to about two-flftha of the entire excavation, together with the machinery, was about 334,000,000. Since then 'the Commission say that thla, estimate la probably too low, and that it 'may be worth as much aa $40,000,000. If the latter figure should be named by the appraisers under M.

Hutln's offer, and the other-estimates of the Commission are correct, the Panama Canal could completed by the United States for $50, 000,000 less than the Nicaragua Canal, which fact will have considerable weight In determining the Commission's next report.

Proposition Made Through Minister Silva, the Colombian Minister at Washington Property to Be Appraised by a' Neutral Commis-i sion Itsr Puchase May Save Government $50,000,000. WASHINGTON, May Pamana Canal Company has finally offered to sell out Its property to the United States, Dr.

Carlos M. Silva, the Colombian Minister to the United States, was at the State Department this morning and made public this important development In the Isthmian Canal situation. M. Hutln, the President of the (Panama Canal Company, through Minister Silva, has submlted an offer to the Isthmian Canal Commission, of which Admiral Walker ts the Minister Silva says that this offer does not name a price, but agrees that thers shall be an appraisement of the property. One of the apralsers Is to be apoolnted by the United States and another by the canal company.

In case o. a disagreement, an arbitrator is to be furnished by agreement of both parties whose decision Is to be final. M. Hutln has heretofore absolutely opposed to selling out the interests' of his company. In his dealings with the United States he has Insisted that while his company was willing to sell to the United States a In the stock of the canal, it con Id not secure complete ownership.

The sentiment In this country has been so strongly against the United States going Into a partnership with a private company, and determined that any Isthmian canal that mlgh( he constructed mdst be owned entirely by the United States, that tt)e Panrma canal was rejected by Admiral Walker's Commission In Its preliminary report to the last Congress. The report said that die' Panama route could be completed for sixty million dollars less i-.
