BARCELONA BOMB EXPLOSION.
ELEVEN PERSONS KILLED AND

Vigorous Demand for the Punishment
of the Authors of the
Outrage.

BARCELONA, June S.-The excite
ment caused by the explosion of the
bomb yesterday, by which eleven peo-
pie were killed and many injured,
shows no sign of diminution The peo-
pie vigorously demand that no effort
be spared by the authorities to punish
the authors of the outrage and to guard
against a repetition of the dastardly
act.
When ii became known that the killed
numbered eleven instead of six as was
stated in the first reports, the indigna-
ton Of the populace was very great.
Their threatening caused the authori-
ties to proclaim martial law, and the
city is now under martial law
Two more arrests of suspects were
made to-day. making a total of thirty
two men who have been taken into GUS

cerned in the perpetration of the out

gathered around that building and de-
manded summary punishment of
everyone of the prisoners, whether his

MISS WORRALL'S DEATH.

Mrs. Hyde informed the reporter that
Miss Worrall was of a bright and happy
disposition, and entirely free, as far as
she knew, from care. Only yesterday
she had received a letter from her
which her sister had written to her the
day before she sailed from Sydney, N. s.
w, for San Francisco, on board the
steamship Alameda. In the letter Miss
Worrall made a number of inquiries
concerning family affairs, and init
mated that she was in excellent health
and high spirits. Mrs. Hyde could not
conjecture any reason why she should
have died from the effects of poison, as
alleged, self-infiicted or otherwise

One of to-day's arrivals was Hon. w.

why, no; the Republican party is
for gold, and that's all there is to it.
Besides that is not the main issue. The

MASSAGE BY ELECTRICITY.
An Ingenious Device by Which the Cur.
rent Is Applied.
(From the New York Tribune.)

(From the New York Tribune)
That there are still som new things
under the sun is proved by the appearance
recently of an ingeniously devised in
strument that makes possible for the
first time in medical annals anything
like satisfactory massaginR of the
nose, throat and ear. 1t is only within
the last few years that the value of mas
sage as applied to the m ucus membranes
of these.nrgans has been appreciated, and
not until the French .savants took the
subject up as matter of fact was much
interest felt in it. Even when the ak
cellence of the treatment was admitted,
it was almost impracticable, since the
massage had to be manual and skilled
operators were rare. The new instru-
ment, invented by an American and
part OF the outcome OF the recent delying
into electricity for medical purposes,
solves the problem by working almost
automatically and requiring little else
than simple guidance.
| 1t Ia electrovibratory in its operation;
that Is, a button and a spring work SO as
to turn on and shut off an electric cur
rent with great Iapidity. This mechan-
ism causes a vibration Of the slender rod
Of metal, on the further end of which Is
button coming directly into contact
with the mucus mem branes. Differe MT
shaped probes can be attached as occas-
ion requires. What the new instrument
achieves is extreme rapidity in it's vibra-
| tions, their coming at regular intervals
and the uniform intensity of the strokes.
Without electricity these three conditions
| cannot be realized.
The instrument is extremely simple in
construction. 1t is so light that it Is
easily held in the hand. A short cylin-
der or box holds two magnets, rod de-
signed to move forward and backward
running between them, ending in front
of the detachable probe. At it's rear end
is metal plate, which is movable. On
the neck of the apparatus is an ivory
button, which, upon pressure of the fore
finger of the physician, closes the circuit.
The metal plate is at TINT instant drawn
forward by the magnet and the rod
likewise. A fraction of a second later
| the metal plate reaches it's foremostsspoint
and the contact being Interrupted is
| thrown back by spring. The button
being still held down by the finger, the
circuit is Immediately. made again, and
vibration follows vibration in swift
order.
The operator generally illumines the
parts he is about to work on, though this
| is not absolutely necessary. FoS the
most effective treatment, the probe is
placed, not at right angles to the place
| to be treated, but at an acute angle.
Placed IN this way it docs not tap, but
rubs.

Some idea of the size of the state of
Texas may be gained from the slowness
with which the returns Of the late cleo
ton are coming to hand. Of the 246
counties nearly ninety have still unre-
ported their complete vote. and it will
be many days before the returns for the
entire state are in. From present indi-
cations, however, it is safe to say that
Bryan's plurality in Texas will be ex-
tremely large. At last accounts the COM
bined Democratic and Populist vote was
900, 2O5 to 1859, 5Ss for Mckinley, and the
late-reporting counties were gradually
increasing this Popocratic advantage.
But the proportionate gain is in favor
of the Republicans. Harrison's entire
vote was only THAT'S, and the combined
vote of Cleveland and Weaver was 1888.

CONCERNING GOOD ROADS.

Several days ago the PRESS published
letter from a Freeport gentleman In
reply to the re cent address of the Port
land Wheel Club on the subject of good
roads. Assuming that by good roads
macadamized roads are meant the writer
succeeds in showing very conclusively
that the good roads movement is entirely
impracticable, inasmuch rs to carry it
out would impose upon the taxpayers q
burden altogether too greyious to be
borne.
The point on which we are
disposed to take issue with him Is his
assumption that good roads necessarily
mean maoadamized roads. That may
have been the assumption of the Port
land Wheel Clubs address; if so 1t was
wrong one. Doubtless macadam1zed
are the best roads that can be made, but
roads far better than are common
at present can be made in time
without matchmaking and that
too at an expense that the people
are perfectly capable of bearing.
Nobody at all familiar with the method
of repairing country roads in vogue in
most of the towns will undertake to
deny that that method is exceedingly
faulty, and that with better method
expenditures of money no larger would
produce far better results. In most
towns work on the roads Is credited on
the taxes of those performing it, and it
h. hot
of taxes is the end rather than the re-
pairing OF the roads. In other words as
day 8 labor on the roads. no matter
how unskilful. counts just as much on
taxes as woll directed effort.
there Is no particular inducement to
study the best methods of road repairing
or to conform the work to them. To be
sure each district has a director for the
work commonly called Surveyor, but
he is not selected generally because of
any special knowledge or qualifications
to direct the work. Year after year on
many roads the same holes ara fixed,
only to be unfxed by the fail rains and
the winters frost. The fundamental
trouble with our road repairing ia that
the most Of it is only temper
airy in its character, and hence has soon
to be done over again. If some of the
work were Of a permanent character,
there would be from year to year steady
improvement in the roads, and the ex.
pense would really be no greater than it
is now.
The first essential of any i'm
provement in our roads is agitation OF
the subject. AS long as the people who
have charge Of them think they are good
enough they are not likely to be better.
For that reason we think the Portland
Wheel Club or any other association
which stirs up the matter does good
work. Many OF the notions advanced
may be and doubtless will be i'm
practicable, as is the idea of macada-
mixing any considerable length of
country roads in this state, hut the agi.
tation will direct attention to the practi-
cable things an we'll as the impracticabls
things, and while the latter will have to
be discarded the former may be made
use of, to the great improvement of the
existing highways.

The debates in tina Reichstng for the
past two or three days past must have
made the young War Lord decidedly I'M
easy. A day or two ago Herr Babel, a
socialist leader, declared in terms that the
Emperor was insane, and yesterday an
other radical proclaimed amid enthusies-
tic applause from one of the factions of
the Reichstag that if reforms were longer
delayed there would be revolution.
Evidently the German people are be-
coming FESTIVE at the Emperor's effort to
exalt military government above civil,
and are disposed to give him to under
stand that Germany is not Russia.

A TOWN THAT WANTS WOMEN.
yancouver's Census Shows Deficiency OF
10000 of the Fair Sex.
(San Francisco Examiner. }


There Is city in the western part Of
Canada, close to the Pacific Ocean,
which is named by all who visit it the
most desolate spot on the face of the
earth. Its climate Is good, it's natural
resources excellent, its houses fair its
streets well paved. yet within this town
there is an air of forlorn detection tina:
strikes the most careless traveller that
comes within it's boundary.
1t is on Vancouver Island, a sweet.
fair spot. And the desolation is caused
by one thing-one only, the lack of
women and girls
This particular town Is scaroer of the
product than any of its locality. There
are many towns upon the island, but
this one lacks women 30 sadly that in
recent census of the place it was found
n early $4,000 short.
1t is not to be expected that such
condition Of affairs could exist without
becoming known. The thrifty long
shoremen of the place, and the wood
men. the miners and the merchants have
written East about it, and few days
ago the mayor OF the place was surprised
and delighted to receive letter contain
Ing suggestion. 1t as that, aH women
were too numerous in the East to find
the homes they desired, that he, the
mayor, should devote part of the funds
of the town to sending East for a car
load OF manageable young women to
| come out and settle in the vacant homes.
The letter suggested that as the young
women were not in affiuent circum-
stances, most of them living with mnr-
ried sisters or supporting themselves, it
might he good thing to provide each
with small "dowry'' with which to
equip herself to come out to the frontier
coast and marry one of the needy men.
The letter SO impressed the mayor of
the place that he laid it before a COM
mittee of men and women, for there are
few women there, and they decided
that nothing could be better. Their
fertile brains hit upon the expedient of
fitting up hotel or 'home' for all the
new arrivals. and they suggested a re-
ception committee Of women and men to
meet them.

The final balancing Of the books of
the New England Fair shows that the
profits of the show last August are about
$4,000 This is very gratifying for Port
land and for the management of Rigby.
There is one suggestion which is worth
the consideration of the management in
their plans which they are now making
for the next seauon, and that is reform
in the Midway. There were features
there last year decidedly Objectionable,
and such as will hurt the show seriously
If allowed to continue. The time to urge
this reform is the present, before the
concessions for next season are sold
and we have no doubt that with the
fuller knowledge which comes from eK-
perience in passing upon applications,
