No event since the throwing of the bomb at the carriage of King Affonso, on May 31, 1906, while the King was returning from the church after his marriage, has caused sue a general consternation and such public symputhy. So far as can be learned at present the assassination seems to be lu way part of a widespread pollt'cal plot or revolutionary movement, '-nt an Isolated crime for which the exa;t motives remain obscure. The ao.'assin, who was of Spanish birth cr.me recently from Buenos Ayres, by #ay o' Paris. Practically nothing is known about him. The King has appointed the foreign minister, Marquis Manuel G ir? cia Prieto, as premier pro tempore, and the Liberal Government which Senor Canalejas conducted for several years remains in power. After a meeting of the Cabinet P was announced that Gen. YVeyler captain-general of Catalonia, and at one time commander-in-chief of the Spanish forces in (Tuba, or Count Romances might be appointed permanent premier. Canalejas was shot in the back A* At V_ ..Ikl.r, ,K., inrf*e 111HVH an up w?d naiivinn vu iuv ministry of the Interior, in the Puerto del Sol. He had stopped to glance into the window of a bookshop. Tuesday morning he went to the Royal Palace to submit several do creea to the King. He em figod ant ling an*, bappy. As an atten Unt oj>eie<l the door leading to the street a 8l:?ry gust of wind struck tho premier ir. the face, causing Mm to exclaim gaily: "Oh, whit a wind! We are going to have a bal day." About an hour later his unconscious prophecy was fulfilled. As ne stopped for a moment at the shop window a man darted from a nearby doormay. He ran up behind the piejnier and fired four shots ot close range. Three bullets, as it was after* ward found, took effect, Canalejas sank to the sidewalk. A /riend who was passing at that moment rushed up crying: "Don Jose' Don J08e!" this being the premier's baptismal name. The wounded man scarcely had the strength to murmur: "The scoundrel has killed me." lie 'hen expired. In the meantime his assailant turned the muzzle of the revolver on his own breast and tired again. A crowd quickly gathered, while tho assassin was half dragged to the police station. The premier was carried to a pharmacy and then to the ministry of the Interior tthcru hfi WilB l)laced OH a large marble table in the main saloon. The blood flowing from a wound behind the right ear soon formed a pool on the floor. The King waa informed of the tragedy an he was leaving the palace to attend the chrysanthemum exhibition. He sprang into an automobile and motored swiftly to the ministry. As he reached the Puerto del Sol the crowd acclaimed him, crying: "Long live the brave King!" Running up-stairs, four steps at a time, the king entered the saloon and bent silently over the body of his late minister. He was greatly affected as bo recited the prayer for the dead and turned to the assembled ministers to learn the details of the crime. Marquis Prieto announced the as-j sassmaiion in the Cnaiuber ot Ueputies. In the courso of an eulogy he said: "He died between his two affections?his people and his books. The enemy of society will not triumph, for we are all united to defend society. " Marsjuis l'rieto's words occasioned great applause, in which all except the Republicans joined. The premier's body later was transported to the Chamber of Deputies, where the public was admitted to view it. The fdneral will probably take place tomorrow, with all the \ <> A (i nrnn^r!) 1 ivlin il Iiuiioi a iitiiui ucu <? ?v v.v? at his post of duty. Throughout the evening thousands assembled In the streets and other thousands passed through the Chamber to witness the lying-instate. All the diplomatic corps paid their tribute of respect. When the wife of the premier arrived she fell fainting over his body. Political ferment always exists in Spain, but nothing has been reported within a recent period which could in any way be connected with the crime. A strict censorship was instituted by the out horities on the telegraphs and telephones immediately after the assassination. For several hours It was impossible to communicate with the outside world. An eye-witness of the tragedy asserts that th(? assassin had an accomplice who escaped in the confusion. Did Not Want Him. In the United States Court at Savannah Friday Judge Emory Spoor declined to admit to United States citiaenshlp James Moses, a subject of the crime was the result of a conspiracy between T,airra M.

"In yonder box sits his distinguish' ed aunt?Mrs. James Wosdrow? and the mere mention of that name indicates how closely Dr. Wilson is identified with this community. For four years his revered father lived and labored in this then small community and there are many here tonight who loved and honored his father and mother, the sister of our dear old Dr. James Woodrow. Our orator who writes Greek as well as shorthand, learned neither here, but it was in Columbia that he got moBt of his Sunday school training, so I'm told, learned most of what he knows of baseball, and more than all, grasped the significance of making and retaining real friendships. All of this had better be recorded before Mr. Wilson's early life is "nsythed'' over in North Carolina. "It may not be our pleasure to hear Dr. Wilson speak again until he is elected president, because no missionary work is needed here, but he has promised that if elected Columbia, the home of his boyhood, will be made his winter residence, and that a winter baseball park may supplant the golf links of Augusta for outdoor recreation. I have the honor of presenting to you Dr. Woodrow Wilson." MYSTERIOUS MURDER. ? Killed by Unknown Person and Body Thrown into Creek.

The i turkish troops in their turn sullied ut Horn the lulls to deliver u countr attack. It was then the turn of the liulgurian heavy siege artillery which trom every point on the surrouiuiiu, Dills rained a terrific hail of projectiles ou the lines of the Turkish troops. Every moment saw fresh companies of Turks marching out from the city and the lorls towarti the Bulgarians who continued linperturbably to draw their lines closer around the forts. The accurate fire of the Bulgur tuns' big guns began to tell at about 10 o'clock in the morning when tin cannon in the fort on Mount Kartal began to slacken their reply. The fort had been swept by a heavy storm of shells for several hours, the great projectiles bursting right over th? works. The Turkish infantry had mean it/ ti 11roMiutod Hf n h horn 1 v th? Hill garian advance, but their lines gradually began to waver. Suddenly tin command "fix bayonets" rang ou. from the Bulgarian officers and then cheering wildly, the Bulgarian Infan try dashed forward and the Turks broke and ran toward the city. At about noon the Bulgarian colors floated up over the fort of Kartalepe, but Papaztepe still held out. Nightfall found the Turks and Bulgarians still fighting. Suddenly in the dense darkness a long dazzling ray of light shot across the sky fron. one of the crests held by the Bulgarians, bringing the fort on Papaztepe clearly into view. Then from the fort itself another brilliant ray shot out. The cannon and rifle Are which had been Blackening, Immediately became more brisk while above the combatants the searchlights flashed their rays around, on which little , balls of white smoke caused by thr bursting of shrapnel floated like fl.es ir a sunbeam, making even deeper the surrounding blackness which was punctuated here and mere by flashes from the muzzles of cannon. The roar of the siege and field guns dominated the rattling of the rifle volleys and the screeching of shells as they hurled through the air. As had occurred at Kartalepe earlier in the day the fire from the Pazaptepe fort began gradually to slacken. There also the Bulgarian Biege guns had caused enormous ravages. Abruptly the searchlights were extinguished at about 11 o'clock at night and the Bulgarian infantry began to storm tne fort at the point of the bayonet, bhortly before midnight they had become masters of the position und tne Turks were in flight. They left their dead and dying by hundreds on the field. The fort on Papaztepe is one of the most important features of the defense of Adrianople. It commands not only the city itself, but all the other works. Throughout the operations, Bulgarian aeroplanes flew back and fortb over the Turkish forts, bringing valuable information to the Bulgarian generals in command. FROZEN IN FAR NORTH.
