WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
question OF just what ex-senator Cam

Senator Faulkner, is ono which Is
greatly asitating the faithful at the
capital. Mr.. Camden certainly made
some kind OF n statement, which he in
tended to DO locally confidential, when
he was in Washington, and ho rs ccr-
tsinly contradictcd that statomcnt, or
the public version OF 1t, when no got

this contradiction it is repeated here,
on tho most trustworthy authority, that
Alr. Camden did make tho statement

had absolutely given up tho idea OF
seeking another election to the senate
this year. But, it is added, in the light
Of this subsequent dcnial, ho perhaps

Tho report that he would not be

time, and Senator Faulkner lrst of all.
The senator was greatly elated. Tho re-
port spread. More clation, general
Iove-feNst, and widespread rejoicing.
Everybody shook hands. Then the re-
por, got out to West Virginia. And
this was further than Mr.. Camden in

suspicion OF him, and where good re-

the report got beyond control, and
when it loomed up on the home horizon
with its feet on earth and its head In
the sky an antidote had to be admins
tered at once, which the ex-senator pro-
cecded to do.
This is the explanation furnished
from the "insido" OF the two apparent
y contradictory statements which have
appeared from the samo source within
week. And, after weighing both sides
OF the argument, it is not tho unani-
nous opinion OF Democratic statesmen
at Washington that the willy gentleman

A Sensational Decd. sas.. itf
MADRID, April ia most horrible
deed was committed Friday in church
at Ang!esota, village in the province
Of Lcroida. The usual services of Good
Friday were being observed and tho
church was filled to Its utmost capacity
with devout worshipers. Everything
was calm, as became tho solemn core
monies, and Father Francisco Marti,the
priest in charge OF the parish, WAS
kneelins at the altar. Suddenly, and
without n word OF warning, man
armed with revolver. and short
sword, sprang from behind tho pulpit
and rushed upon the priest, brandish-
ing his sword. 80
The man stood over his kneeling VIC
tim, and in an instant the priest lay
dead in front OF the altar where he had
long served. The assassin's blow had
struck tho back OF his neck, and tho
keen blade almost severed his head
from his body. yg
By this time the people realized tho
awfulness Of tho tragedy they had Just
seen enacted. Women shrieked in ter
ror and many OF them tainted away.
Some few Of the more cool-hcaded men
attending the services mado an attempt
TO seize. the murderer, but they were
thwartcd by tho assassin, who had un-
doubtedly armed himself with ro-
yolvor for just such contingency. Ley
cling this weapon no fred right and
left. and drove his would-be captors 10
seek safety in flight. One woman,
shrinking and crouching close to the
altar rails, was hit by bullet She ut
tered q most piercing shrek, threw up
her hands and icll dead to tho floor.
The assassin, whose revolver was now
emptied, sprang into tho fleeing crowd,
and, welding his sword. still dripping
with the blood OF tho massacred priest,
he slaslied right and left, cutting his
way to tho street. Once he reached the
street, tho assassin started on q run,
and soon vanished. q.
No reason is known for the crime, and
it is believed by almost every one that
tho man was insane. %. 4
A man named Alsina, who Is identl-
fed as the assassin who took Father
Martis life, has been arrested.
