A dispatch from the City of Mexico yes- terday seys: The last of the series of bull fights by Mazzaltini was given this after- noon and was attendad by 7,000 people. Maazzaltini narrowly escaped with his life, betng tossed by an infuriated bull and gored in the hand. Ten horses were killed and six bulls, the usual number. The fight was not up to the usual standard. A PROTEST FROM B STREET Property Owners and Residents Opposed to Railway Tracks, Why the Capital Traction Company Should Not Be Allowed to Occupy That Street. A petition signed by twenty property owners and residents on B street between 1st street and Delaware avenue was today presented to Mr. McMillan, chairman of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, protesting against the bill intro- duced in the Senate and referred to the District committee, authorizing the Capital Traction Company to lay tracks on B street, New Jersey avenue northwest, and across the Capitol plaza. The petition re- cites that B street north fronting the Cap- itol grcunds is one of the narrowest streets in the city, being only thirty-five feet from curb to curb and having no sidewalk on the side adjoining the Capitol grounds, and states that double tracks of rapid transit cars would utterly destroy the thorouw:sh- fare for purposes for which It is now used by the property owners living thereon. The petition says that this street has already been once narrowed to the great Jetriment of the property owners, this being cone when the Capitol grounds were extended, and with the further occupation of its thirty-five feet by rapid transit tracks it would be impossible to back up a coal wagon or furniture van to any one of the fine houses on this street. The noise of the cars and the clanging of the bells through two-thirds of the nights would be under the very eaves of the dwellings and the committee rooms of ihe Maltby building. From New Jersey avenue down to Ist street west the buildings, in- cluding the Maltby House, now owned by the government, are built on filled or made ground to a great depth, and the constant jarring of the heavy electric cars would shake, settle and impair the foundations of these buildings, and result in the crack- ing of their walls, according to~the peti- tioners. B street, the petition says, is the national inaugural parade route, and as an environ of the Capitol should be preserved intact. The petition further state “The proposed tracks on B street and New Jersey a would completely cut cf the Senate committee rooms in the Maitby building fre Cc ing with this rapid trans to the lives of sena crossing to and tre completely encire) building, increasing tix of the many school, which dang baneful influence o tracks on C street. “Tbe proposed oceupa the east front of the ¢ blot on the Capitol Capitol to the level the benefit of the r also puts a dang great through-route ¢a: vate carriages ds of persons attending ihe Marine Band con- % at the Capitol. <B y, there is no necessity nor ade- or any other route for the ty ‘ossing and re tpitol, and also Arthur av attending th: already had its school from the eS at of the plaza on 1 is not oniy a degrad ne f a mere siation for . but it the ad compar m Company.

That this railway ould be allowed to further mutilu degrade the pre: pproaches to the Cap- itol, and_ seriou damage, if uot utt destroy the property values of private citi- zens, is contrary to every right of property and public policy, and your petitione+s do mcst earnestly protest against the bill.” DEATH OF 0. S. LONG. Prominent Member of Masonic ternity FP ses Awny. Mr. Odell Squier Long, one of the most Prominent Masons in the country, died yes- terday at his home in Charleston, W. Va., after an illness of about three weeks, of stomach troubles. He was at the time of his death clerk of the supreme court of West Virginia, to which position he was appointed in 1874. He was a thirty-third degree Mason and well known in the coun- clis of that order. Mr. Long was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, November 16, 1836. He moved to Wheeling, where he became editor of the Register, in 1864. Two years later he was appointed postmaster at Wheeling, but the Senate refused to con- firm him on account of his sy mpathy with the south, after he had served’ cight months. After retiring from that office he again became editor of the Register, serv- ing in that capacity until he was appointed to the position which he ee when he died. Fra- Mr. Long was initiat apprentice in the Masonic order in Novembe 857. The initiation took place in Columbian Lodge, Cumberland, Ohio. He was pz felloweraft’s degree and in the was raised to that of master M cember of that year, in the same la dge. In January, 1858, he was made a Royal Arch Mason in Cambrigze Chapter, Cambridge, Ohio. He was made a Knight Templar in 1865 in Wheeling Commandery, No. 1. He received the thirty-second degree in Lynch- burg, Va., in 1968, and was coroneted to the thirty-third degree, honorary, May 20, 1876, and was crowned an active member the same date. Mr. Long was elected lieutenant grand commander of the Supreme Council, An- cient and Accepted Scottish Rite, in 1895. Other offices which he has held are past grand commander West Virginia Knights Templar, past grand high priest of the Grand Chapter of West Virginia, and past grand master of the Grand Lodge of West Virginia. Mr. Long was engaged on revising the statutes of the order to which he belonged and did much work of the same class. He was married, but his wife died many years ago. He leaves one daughter. Mr. Fred- erick Weber of the Scottish Rite order went to Charleston yesterday. The funeral will take place in that city. ——__ GIVEN SPECIAL AUDIENCE. Reception of Archbishop Keane by His Holiness at Rome. Archbishop Keane was recently received in special audience by the pope, it is stated in a dispatch from Rome to a Baltimore paper. The pontiff expressed the satisfac- tion he felt on learning that the arch- bishop is about to continue his sermons. He made reference to the words he had uttered at a former audience, when he had impressively told the archbishop never to refuse an invitation to preach. He dwelt at length and latd special stress on the ad- vantages which would result from the archbishop preaching to English-speaking persons in Rome. Further, he added, Archbishop Keane would be especially use- ful to the church in the United States by the work he was called upon to perform in the propaganda. The pope announced that he had appointed him a consulter of the propaganda, a very important office. The dispatch further stated there is no fundation for the rumors prevailing in re- gard to changes in the direction of the Washington University. The idea of plac- ing this university under the direction of the congregation of studies does not, so far as can be learned in Rome, appear to be contemplated. It is not regarded that there is a possible chance of any change. SS Grand Army Post Election. Independence Post, No. 67, G. A.

(The Palais Royal's 4c and 9 stores.) AN dignity or merit be attached to articles at 4 and 9 cents? Not asarule! Our efforts have been to lend both dignity and merit to such articles. For months past the “buyers” of the various de- partments have been instructed to make contracts for the importation of articles that can be sold at these prices. The only restriction was that trashy goods were in no single instance to be tolerated. The results are that superior goods only have been contracted for and in such immense quantities and variety that the coming “opening” of the Palais Royal's new 4c and 9c stores will create an excitement among merchants and the public that shall grow with time. Time will prove. Wait and sce. New Stationery Store. NDER new management the new Stationery Store shall be all that the elite of society can demand. The very latest from the leading makers of fashionable stationery shall always be here at prices that shall be a revelation. Card Engraving, Die Cutting, Stamping, Etc.
