drlfl, Spain.? Alfonso and his
had come for t lie nltar and wore
Jvlng an ovation from their myriad
Subjects such as oven this proud
tal had^iever seen before when sud
y they were brought face to face
i I Kb peril of assassination in Its
dliest form.
.oaes tiling from every side were
lllng in a soft <'<i8CA.de upon the royal
Vlot. The young Queen, in mi
lied delight, was bowing right and
iu acknowledgment of the deafen
unending chorus of welcome and
gratuiations, and the King, Ignoring
$ multitude, was feasting his eyes
%g#npon the face of his bride, when a
I^^Winch of roses Hung from a balcony
jfll with a rush as though made of
ead iu front nf (he chariot and Jiut
frhiiul the mules drawing it.
BHR&Tliere was a terrirte crash and a little
'flfmmoke rose In the air. Death and con
SfflBernation in an instant supplanted
the mirth and rejoicing.. A score of
l&m en and wompn lay dead or mutilated.
There was a moment of paralysis and
terror. All eyes turned instinctively
- >^.v.V \ )
King Alfonso of Spain. v
toward t lie bridal couple and saw their
palo faces amid the ruins of their car
? rlagc gazing pitifully at the terrifying
scene around (hem.
The Urst man to regain his *elf-pos
session was the Duke of Cornachuolos.
He rushed i'brwnrd, opened tiie door of
the royal coach and fairly dragged the
King and Queen to t lie ground. Others
of the royal escort instantly surround
ed them and they were ltd to another
carriage.
Immediacy before the outrage the
Queen remarked to the King that she
would bo glad to reach home. The ex
plosion followed her words.
Bleeding and wounded officers threw
themselves around the royal carriage,
and the Queen gazed with horror on
the dead and dying.-' One officer lay
dead with his band raised in salute.
Tiie young King speedily mastered
Ills emotion and gave all' his attention
to his terrilied bride. The line of
march was quickly taken up to the
palace, which was only a quarter of a
mile away. Neither the King nor the
Queen was hurt, although their escape
seems .ittle short of miraculous.
The bride matte a brave effort to con
trol her feelings, but the fearful transi
tion fro in joy to horror was too much
for human nerves to endure and pres
ently she burst into tears. If the
truth must be told, the King himself
..., iwept in sympathy.
Meantime at the scene of the outrage
the tirst paralysis was succeeded by
great confusion. The crowd, when it
realized what had happened, became
infuriated and surged towards the
spot intent upon wreaking vengeance
upon the author of the crime. Quickly
a cordon of troops was formed, and it
was with the greatest difficulty that
the dead and injured were cared for
. .mid, removed. J \ v
The following are the killed: Cap
tain Karros, commanding part of the
King's escort; Lieutenant Reyslent,
Lieutenant Prendergast, '.lie Marquise
of Colosa and her daughter; Don An
. tonlo Calvo and his niece, six yettrs old;
Srix soldiers, two citizens, one rbyal
groom, whtywas leading n horsp draw* I
lng the coach carrying the King and ]
Queen. Two of the horses drawing
the eoacli were killed.
The indignation of the people over
? the outrage was great. Some French
detectives were almost lynched merely
because they had a foreign appearance.
During the afternoon, following the
tragedy. King Alfonso went with
Queen Victoria to the I'alace Chapel,
where they offered up lengthy prayers.

Princess Ena, according to iiumevzo
rlal Spanish custom, donned her wed
ding tlnery at the Senate House,
whence she was escorted from the villa
of the I'rado By half of the noble ladies
of Spain, who superintended the ad

carried out in the interior decoration
of the church, the blazing hues being
heightened by thousands of lucnudcs- ,
Cent lights and embroideries of gold
and silver. On a dais were two gold
armchairs, in one of which King Al
fonso, arriving twenty minutes before
his bride, sat impatiently, sending cour
tier after courtier to the entrance to
WMteh for her until her coach rolled
up to the door.

dignity of their attire among the shin

Princess, her eyes smiling through

Having regard for the neftHtsity of

The restoration of the royal state
coaches, new harness and trappings
cost more than $1.10,000. More than
$1,250,000 was expended in preparing

New uniforms for the troops and

for the bullfight, a military review, and
the various fetes, which it is known
will amount to many thousands of
dollars.

shooting hitnseif in the head with a pis- i

curred shortly after 7 o'clock a. in., and
Mr. Adams died at 11.30 at the Emer

half an hour after he had tired the
shot. He was unconscious when found
and did not rally.
Financial reverses and the prospect
of failure to be returned to his feat in I

cause of the suicide. Mr. Adams was a
bachelor, ti fly-seven years old.

Kankakee, 111.? Three girls, aged
eight, six and two years, daughters of
Mr. and Mrs* Adelord Vanslette*, "were
found smothered tc death, seated up
right in a trunk. Tliev had been
missing for four hours.
The circumstances of the deaths are
mysterious. Search had beci. made
everywhere, according to the mother's
story, when at 0 o'clock p. m. the
mother found the three children seated
upright dead in an old trunk.
Apparently they had made no struggle
or effort to release themselves. The
mother thinks the children crawled
into the trunk while playing and that
the trunk accidentally locked itself.

Washington, Speciul. ? Tin* report
of Messrs. Ifi'vnoMs and N<'ill, ap
pointed a special commit tec by Presi
dent lloos?>veli to investigate the
workings of the packing houses and
stock yards, was presented to Con
gress by the President. The report
although confined to personal investi
gations ami giving only such inlotnwl
lion as come under the personal ob
servation of (ho committee, reveals
some startling facts. Messrs. Key
iiolsds and Neill explain that the in
vestigations are not yet ended and
that many reports in connection with
the unsanitary conditions of the pack
ing houses ami stock yards are yet
to come out.
The Presidents Message,

!>'* y liiil urc. ] submit ii to you
now because ii shows t ho urgent need
of "Mioii hy Hi,. Congress

the Federal government of nil stock,

products, so fill- iis I he latter enter

I lie condition shown by even this
shoit inspection to exist in the
niiea-o stockyards are revolting. It
is imperatively necessary in U,? in
terest til health and dcccnc" that they
, should be radically changed. Under
the exist in- law it i? wholly imj>ossible
lo secure satisfactory results.
When rnv attention was first di
rected to this matter an investiga
tion was made under the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the Department
'?f Agriculture. When the prelimi
nary statements of this in- estimation
were brought to my attention they
showed such defects ia the law and
such wholly -unl unexpected condiv.
lions that T deemed it best to have
a further immediate investigation by
men not con wclcd^ with the bureau/
nnd accordingly appointed Messrs.
Reynolds and Neill. It was impos
sible under the existing law that sul
islVtory work should be done by tho
Bureau of Animal Industry. I am
now, however, examining the way in
which the Work actually was done.
Before I had rccived the re|?ort of
Messrs. Reynolds and Neill 1 had di
'???'?ted thai labels placed upon any
package of meat food product. shoulil
state only the carcass ft' the animal
Ironi which the meat was taken had

' nets at all stages of jncparat ion ia
nor secured by the passat-e of the
la?isl;iti?ii recommended I shall feel
compelled that inspection
labels and certificates on canned pro
ducts shall not be used hereafter.
Premises not Kept Clean.
The report shows that the stock
yards and packing houses are not
kept even reasonably clean, and that
the method of handling ami prepat*
nig jood products is uncleanly and
dangerous to health, l.'nder existing
law the national government has no
k power to en lorcc inspection of tho
mahy forms of prepared meat food
products that are daily going from
the packing houses into iulcr-Statc
commerce. Owing to an inadequate
appropriation the Bcpartimhil of ,\g
rieull lire is not even able to place
insjwctois in all e>tablishmeuts desir
ing them. I present law prohibits
the shipment of uninspected meat to J
foreign countries, hut there is no pro- 1
vision 'forbidding the shipment of ?nv
inspected meats in inter-State com
merce. and thus the avenues of inter
State. commerce arc left ojx?n to traf
fic in diseased or sjtoiled meats. If,
as has been alleged on keemingly
ffood authority further evils exist,
such as (he improper use of chemi
cals and dye*, the .government lacks
power to rcmrdy them. A law is
needed which will enable the ijis|?cc
tors of the general, government to
inspect and supervise from the hoof
to the can the preparation of the
meat -The erit gecnw to he

I call special attention to the fact
that thi? report is preliminary, anil
that the investigation is Mill untlnish

the alleged abuses in the use of de
leterious chemical compounds in eon

doctoring in iliis fashion of taint oil
meat and of products returned to the
pucker* as having grown unsalable
or unusable from age or from other
reasons, (iraye all"g:it ions are made

Can't Stop Abuses.
t.et me repeal that under the pres
ent law there is practically no method
of stopping these abuses if they
should be discovered to exist. Leg
islation is needed in order to prevent
the possibility <>f nil abuses in the
future. If no legislation is passe'd,
then the excellent results accomplish
ed bv I he work of thirf special com
mittee will endure only so long as
the memory of the commit tec's work
if* fresh, and a recrudescence of the
abuses is absolutely certain.
] urge the immediate enactment in
to law of provisions which will enable
the Department- of Agricnjlure ade
quately t<? inspect the meat and meat
fond products entering into inter
State commerce and to supervise the
methods of preparing the same, and
to prescribe the sanitary conditions
under which the work shall be per
formed. 1 therefore commend to
your favorable consideration and
urge the enactment of substantially
the provisions known as Senate
amendment No. 'J!J to the act making
appropriations for the Department of
Agriculture for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1907, as passed by the Sen
ate, for this amendment being com
monly known as the Beveridge

The report of the special commit
tee is quite lengthy," dealing with the
various phases of the work of pack
ing houses. Jt shows that they are
unutterably lilthy and unsanitary.
The revelations brought to light show
that unwholesome and decayed meats
are packed: that deleterious chemicals
are employed to freshen and prevent
further decay, and that Iho govern
ment inspection is used as a blind to
per|K'trate a fraud upon the custo

Congress will be quick to enact leg

The Senate, at 12:10 o'clock. ad
journed out of respect to the memory
of the last Senator (Sormau.
Senator Gorman, in a written re
quest addressed to Mrs. dorm air, ask
ed that no Stale funeral should be
held. He said that he did not wish
his body to be brought to the cap
itol, as he wanted his colleagues al
ways to think of him as they knew
him in life as an active Senator.
Theh) he was always cheerful and in
variably smiling, and it is regarded
as characteristic of his disposition
that lie should desire to be so remem
bered.
Senator Gorman had long been a
notable figure in the national Cori^
gross. Ho first took his seat in 1881
and served continuously for .cigh toon
years, and nearly all of that timo ho
.was tho leader of his party, in the .
V>enatc. Winning an early reputation
for sagacity and tho keenest judg
ment in congressional affairs, ho nt?
tained prominence, not only ns a lead
or in the Senate, bitt in tho country
at large, and by many men was con
sidered the most available man in hid
party for tho presidency. Ho was
chairman of tho executive committee
and managed the campaign that re
sulted in the election^ rif-Ailn vol An <1 i?i
1884.
Defeated the

The most notaable contest of his
congressional career, nnd one which
attracted to him wider attention than
anything else, was when ho led the
Senate minority in J890-D1 and de
foil ted the Federal election bill. Tu
his sagacious leadership and adroYf
management his party friends attrib
uted the defeat of tho measure which
was mo obnoxious to tho South.
'When the Democrats had control of
the Senate Gorman was the lccognizr
ed leader of thnt body. It was at
that time that tlie tariff bill of 18^4
was passed, and although the Mary
land Senator was not a member of tho
finance committee, he had no much to
to do with shaping that measure- that
