SPANISH MODS ACTIVE.
Two Thousand Republicans Visit the
Royal Palace and iIoot at Their Hearts
COntcNf lnmO1eSted.

,V"'S"s NUuiosGSiSSs
Madrid, Feb. This city was the
scene today of a demonstration that
would have required but very little to
have turned it into serious riot. AS
told In these dispatches on Tuesday
last, a number of men hOOted General
CampOs as he was driving to his resi-
dence from the railway station on his
return from Cuba. A number of the
hotters were arrested and one of them
broke away from the gendarmes who
had him In custody and sought to
make his escape. The gendarmes fired
twice at him and killed him. The
shooting caused great excitement and
the government was bitterly con-
demned by the Republicans. This af-
ternoon the funeral of the victim took
place and was attended by an enormous
crowd Fully 1000 men, most of
whom We're Republicans. marched to
the cemetery. shouting for the entire
distance, Down with the police"
Down with CampOs" and Long live
the republic"
The government anticipated trouble
and there was a strong display of
gendarmes, who. however. appeared to
be afraid to interfere with the process
sion in any way lest they provoke Il
riot. Consequently the crowd shouted
itself hoarse until IL" cemetery was
reached. when the great assemblage
stood with barred heads until the flu
neral rites had bee completed. The
greater part of the crowd then dis
persed, but 1000 of it's number again
formed in line and marched unmolest-
cd back to the royal palace. in front
of which thcy gathered unmolested
and shouted Death to the Queen
Regent" and Long ave the republic"
Even the guards. who are always on
duty about the palace. seemed :" be
intimidated by the sullen temper of
the mob and made not the slightest at
tempt to drive them away. After
partly venting their anger against the
Youthful king ana his mother. the
crowd marched 20 the residence of
General Campos. where similar
was made.

night, the kilograms received yester-
day from Mexico have apparently
given the sports "A renewal OF conf
dence in Dan Stuart's ability to pull
off the fight on time. but as the tele-
grams were only hopeful and not posi-
tive, the opposition claims that the
assurances Of Governor Ahmuda and
President Diag are such TO them that
they are positive that the fight will
not occur in Mexico. The extreme ac-
tivitv yesterday getting ready to pull
off the tight today showed that Nov
Mexico was the only place that the
managers of the fight funy relied on
to have the great battle.

congress has stopped the sale Of tickets
and will stop those intending to come
here to attend the carnival from max

OUR REDEMPTION MONEY,

A while ago the active organs and
agents of the money power includ-
ing, Of course, the leading treasury
ofiicials-were maintaining that the
supply of available gold in this
country amounted to $3.50, 900, 600
But now comes the New York FL
nancial Chronicle and lets the cat
out of the bag by declaring that,
after careful official search, the
available stock of gold in the treas
ury and in the banks only amounts
to $3l8,000,0O That amount is
the sole basis Of our currency sys-
TEN. That is the amount on hand
with which to redeem all the paper
money that is said to be 10 circula-
tion.
Is it any wonder that values,
prices and business are contracting
in order to ht themselves to the
preposterously small amount of re-
demption money! Is it any wonder
that prices are falling, aud that
the number of business failures re
mains at the old panic levelY Is It
