Charleston. W. Va. May 9.-The
probability is that Charleston will have
a "curfew" ordinance within a short
time. as there is quite a strong senti-
ment in favor of it. At conference OF
those especially interested held a few
days ago. it was decided that a mass
meeting of the citizens. of the city be
called for Tuesday evening, May 18th,
at the Court House, to discuss the sub
iect. The ministers are requested to
preach on the subject Sunday, May 3.
The outcome will probably be that the
city Council will pass an ordinance re-
curing the youth of the city to be oil
the streets after p. m.

del Castillo should be killed 1t is re-
ported that he will be arrested.
London, Aug. 9.-The Spanish en-
bassy in London has received two tel
egrams, the first briefly stating the fact
Of the assassination and the second
coming direct from San Sebastian, stat
ing that Senior Canovas had been the
object of an infamous attack. but say
ing nothing about his death, and con-
cluding with the statement that if the
outrage be of anarchist origin it has
no political complications, with the ad
ditional assertion that the whole of
Spain is tranquil, and that there is not
the least symptom of any alteration in
the state of public affairs.
The dispatch says the assassin is ap-
parently an italian.
For these reasons the Spanish am
bassador. Count DeCasa Valencia, in
the course of an interview, said:
THE belief that the crime is not po-
litfcal, but the work of fanatical an
archist, is borne out by the fact that
know that of recent years italian an
archists have been very active. Wit
ness the assassination of President
Carnot and the attempt on King Hum
bert and other similar crimes"
The ambassador said he had wired
for details, but had received no reply.
The news of the assassination was
communicated by the Associated Press
to ''t5la General Stewart l.. Woodford, the
United States minister to Spain, now
in London, en- route for San Sebastian,
where he had expected to present his
credentials to the queen regent in the
presence of Senor Canovas.
General Woodford was so overcome
that several minutes passed before he
could express his horror at the deed
and his profound sympathy for Spain
in her misfortune.
When he recovered from the shock
of th4 Intelligence, he said:
'fThis is terrible; most unfortunate.
The Spanish government and people
will have the sincere sympathy of all
friends of constitutional government.
1t is too soon to express any views as
to the effect which the regrettable
death of Senior Canovas will have up
on current questions 1t will not affect
my movements however, unless it be-
comes my duty to reach my post as
soon as possible in order to express to
the Spanish government the sympathy
OF the American government"

A WARNING TO sovERE1eNs
Is the Suggestion Carried to London
Newspapers by Canovas' Fate. -

London, Aug. 9.-The afternoon news
papers in their comment upon the as
sassination Of the Spanish prime minis
ter express themselves on the same line
as the morning papers remarking upon
the incomprehensible idiocy of the muir
der of the man who was mainly re-
sponsib1e for giving universal suffrage
to Spain. They also advocate the sup
preston of anarchy by force, pointing
out that the history of nihilism in Rus
sia proves that force consistently and
steadily applied is the remedy for
clearing out the ,estilent gang. The
ST. James Gazets regards the death of
Senior CanpFsazas ,.1ei Castillo as being a
heavy disaster -fcc5 Spain, adding:
@CanovaS was net great but he was
a statesman. During the Cuban crisis
he governed with energy and if he had
been a very great man he might have
told his country that they must alter
their ways of dealing with the colonies
or be prepared for evil times. But the
Spaniards would hardly listen to such a
gel Maybe If he had the choice, Canovas
would have preferred the martyrdom
which has overtaken him rather than
to have lived to see the collapse which
is only more threatening to Spain. In
the meantime the murder will destroy
the already unstable administration
and in the pick of a successor of the
late premier, the queen regents posi-
tion is most difficult. She may be driv-
en- to call upon some soldier, Campos or
Polavieja, which would be a misfor-
tune to Spain abroad The crime must
have one consequence--to make the
disposed to adopt gentle methods with
socialism. -

The indignation expressed at the crime

1t is reported that Senor Apidal, pres
ident of the chamber of deputies, will

premier at the expiration of the official
nine days mourning. The ministers for

roRruREs OF iNoU1s1T1oN
Repeated at Barcelona Lead to the
Killing of CanoYas

New York, Aug. 9.-The Tribune dis
cussing the events that led up to the
assassination of Canovas, says:
The anarchist movement really be
gan IN Spain after the overthrow of
isabella, When a portion of the Repub-
licans, dissatisfied with the moderate
rule of CASTELAR,, Gen. Prim and others
started under the leadership of Contre-
ras, the revolt of the ''federalists, "seiz-
eu some IRON cladS in the port of Car
tagena and were finally subdued and
captured, but not punished. The prin-
clpal localities of Spain where revoIu-
uonary and anarchiStic ideas have pre-
vailed are the industrial centers along
the Mediterranean coast, like Rarcelo-
ma, and which could be considered as
headquarters of anarchists in the pc
n1nsula and especially since many par
tisans of the Paris commune took ref
uge therein after 1871. The attempts
or the anarchists against society have
been numerous all over the Spanish
territory, but especially at Barcelona.
There within the past two years bombs
have been exploded in the Iiceo thea
ter and in the public square at a mill
itary review by the captain general Of
the province.
The latest and most horrible ex-
plot of the anarchists and the one
which finally has been the cause of the
assassination of CanovaS, was the
throwing of bombs in Barcelona at a
religious procession last summer.
The government of Canovas display
ed great activity and ability IN ferret
ing out the authors or instigators of
the Barcelona crime. Scores of anarch-
lists were imprisoned in the Fortress of
Mont Juich, and their trial ended two
OF three months ago to be followed by
the shooting of six anarchists in the
Mont Juich Jail.
More than so were sent to prison for
life, and about 100 were expelled from
Spain. To their stories of the torture
that they have had to endure before
making avowals of their crime and
giving the names of their accomplices
can~be traced directly the assassination
of Canovas.
These stories have been published by
all revolutionary papers in Europe.
as another TorQuemada worse than the
famous chief of the cruel inquisition of
former centuries.
A civil engineer of Barcelona, Senior
Tarrida del Marmont, has published in
Paris under the title THE Inquls1tors
of Spain" a condensed recital of the
sufferings and tortures which he and
his fellow suspects had to endure
Ascheri who, it seems, was the leader
in the murderous plot at Barcelona,
managed to write to some papers be-
fore his execution, that he was COM
DeIled through horrible tortureS TO ad-
NIT that he had for accomplices all the
men whose names were dictated to MIN
by the judge of instruction SUCH stor-
les must have excited the vengeance
of the friends of the Barcelona anarch-
lists. and the result is told by the ca
BILE dispatch announcing the asSaSS1na-
tion of CanoVaS del Castillo.

A PLEA TO LEEDY.
A Petition Asking Him to AL
low ssCIuhs'' to Run.

Governor Leedy will soon receive an
enormous petition begging him to al
low the clubs to run in Topeka. The
petitions have been in circulation sew
eral days and it is claimed that there
are $500 names on the papers and they
will be ready for presentation to the
governor some time this week.
The preamble to the petitions is
lengthy. It covers three typewriter
pages of fooIscap. It says that the po-
clubs in Topeka and that the clubs
were being conducted in a legal man
ner. Notwithstanding that fact they
were compelled to refrain from dealing
out liquors.
The whole blame is placed on the po-
lice department and Governor Leedy is
asked to give orders to allow the clubs
to continue in business in a legal
manner"
The Free Silver CoIored FIambeau
club is one that is taking a hand in the
club says that they received notice to
quit serving their members with liquor
and that other clubs in the city receive
ed the same notices from the police.
Carr said to a Journal reporter: "I
do not believe in allowing some clubs
to run and closing others. 1t is not
fair and we do not believe in that way
of doing business
Another man who is circulating a pc
tition is Thomas Mooney who has been
arrested for running a joint on East
Fourth street but who has recently
been in charge of Club
This petition Is supposed to ap-
ply only to places which are regularly
chartered as Clubs" 1t includes O.
NJ B. lodges and all places which keep
up an appearance of an organization
as cc-opera tive saloons.
The resubnissionists will be able to
put Governor Leedy to the test through
their petitions. He must say "yes'' or
no" 1t is safe to say the governor
wishes the whole whisky business were
in the hands of the local county Of
ficers and that the metropolitan police
law were at the bottom of the Atlantic
ocean. He could then wash his hands
OF the intermina BILE local fights and
wouldn't have everybody running to
him to interfere in the saloon business
The special session of the legislature in
October might be used to get rid of the
metropolitan police law. Topeka would
like to take care of her liquor business
in her own way-and so, no doubt
would every other town in the state.
It is too early to tell positively
whether the closing of the Topeka
joints was really made in good faith
or not. Saturday evening several
places resumed business. Tt is evident
that not all of the jointkeepers believe
that Chief Steele is sincere-they know
something about him.
Last week Police Commissioner Keith
went personally and made an investi-
cation of a place where he heard Hu-
uor was being sold. He saw enough
to convince him that the law is be-
ing violated, and said: ST shall see
Chief Steele about this
