dent Hobart. Gen. Alger. Mr.. wakeman and

ing eight-pound balls down the alley.
The President watched them for a time
and then accepted Vice President Hobart's
challenge to bowl a game. Mr.. wakeman,
who was the only gentleman in the party
who really understood the game, volun-
teered to score.
The Vice President who, although a
trifie stout, goes in for athletics took off
businessl;ke manner. The President wore
the long-taled frock coat without which
no one ever saw him, and declined to take
IT on, although advised to do so.
Three Pin. for Mckinley
He tipped his white derby hat on the
back of his head, picked out ball and
let 1t drive. He knocked over three pins
with this ball, and with the second got the
remaining seven. The Vice President did
better. He made a strike" that is he
knocked the entire ten pins down with one
ball. The President also got a strike on his
inning, but did not do so well after that.
The tails of his coat were in his way.
As the score was appraised by Mr. Wake

than golf, which the Andrews girls have
sought to teach him. After the game the
Vice President defeated Secretary Alger

SUNDAY ASSASSINS, DAY.
1t is Then the Nihilist Has His Chance
at Public Men.

Sunday seems to be a favorite day for
political assassinations in Europe The
death of Canovas on this day recalls the
long list of rulers who have either met
death CT but narrowly escaped it on the
Sabbath at the hands of anarchists COM
muIists or nihilists.
The fact that in the old world Sunday is
the great festival day, when the rulers go
around and give their subjects an oppor-
tunity to look upon and get near them, is
perhaps sufficient explanation.
Alexander II. the Russian car, was re-
turning to his palace on the afternoon of
Sunday, March 10, 1851, when a dynamite
bomb was thrown at his carriage. The car
riage was blown to pieces, and Alexander
died within a few hours.
President Carnot Of France was at Lyons
attending an industrial and art exhibition
on Sunday, June "a. 1894. That night, as
he drove to theater, Cesare Giovanni Sa-
rio, a young Italian anarchist, sprang
upon the step of the presidents carriage
and plunged knife into his abdomen.
Carnot died within few hours.
President Faure narrowly escaped death
on Sunday, June Is last. He was driving
on the Bots de Boulogne to witness the
Grand Prix at the I,ongchamps race course,
when a bomb was exploded near his car
riage. 1t was of faulty construction and
hurt no one.
Two attempts have been made on the life
of King Humbert of Italy on Sundays. On
Sunday, March II. 1873. Giovanni Pasanante
climbed into the kings carriage In the
streets of Naples and stabbed him in the
thigh with a sword.
The king fought back, cut his assa;lant
on the arm, and held him at bay until the
police took charge of him. On Sunday,
March 26, 1893. a religious fanatic named
Berardi attacked King Humbert In the
streets of Rome, but was captured before
he did any harm.
William of Germany, grandfather Of the
present emperor. was twice attacked by
would-be assassins on Sunday. On July II,
1851, Oscar Becker tried to shoot him, and
on June 2, 1878. DR.. MODELLING repeated the
attempt. MODELLING blew his own brains out
when he saw that he had failed.

GOLD UCTION
Interesting Estimates by Director of the
Mint Preston.
Eject Of the Discoveries In the Klon-
dixie Region Bfmetallism
More Didicult.

The director of the mint estimates the
gold production of the world for 1896 TO
have been sos. 0O0. 900. of which the United
States contributed over $4,000, 600 For
1897, it is believed the worlds gold pro-
duct will reach. at least, $40, 900. &C.,. an
increase of S35,000.000 over 1896. The es-
tfmated product of the United States for
1897 is s60,00o,Oo0.
That the worlds great product will con-
tinue to increase for a number of years
TO come the director says Is self evident
as new mines will be opened up in all parts
OF the world, and with the improved ap-
pliances and methods for extracting the
gold contained in the ores II is believed
that by the close of the present century
the worlds gold product will exceed $780,
100000.
Effect of the Klondfke Discoveries.
In regard to the effect of the Klondike
gold discoveries, the director says:
That gold exists in large quantities in
the newly discovered Klondike district Is
sufficiently proven by the large amount
recently brought out by the steamsh
companies and miners returning to the
states who went into the district within
the last eighteen months. So far. 81 800 600
IN gold from the Klondike district has been
a. tHe minus ana assay Offices
OF the United States, and from informa-
tion now at hand there are substantial
reasons for believing that from $1,000. 600
to $4.OOo.OOO additional will be brought out
by the steamers and returning miners
sailing from St. M3chaels the last of Sep
TENDER or early October next One of the
steamship companies states that II expects
10 bring out about s.. 100000 on its steamer

SPANS Premier Falls a Victim Of an
Anarchists Billet. !, :
MURDERED At SANTA AGUEDA BATHS
Assassin is an Italian Named Mi
cheIe Angina Coli. "
SKETCH OF. PREMIER'S LIFE

Senior Canovas was assassinated yester-
day at Santa Agueda by an anarchist. The
murderer fired three shots, two of which
struck the premier in the head and the
other in the chest. The wounded man lin
gered unconscious for two hours and died
at O'Clock in the afternoon. His wife was
but short distance away when he fell.
Santa Agueda is noted for it's baths The
place is between San Sebastian, the sum-
mer residence Of the Spanish court, and
Vittoria, the capital of the province of
Alava, about thirty miles south of Bilbao.
The premier went there last Thursday to
take three weeks course of the baths,
after which he expected to return to San
Sebastian to meet United States Minister
Woodford when officially received by the
queen regent.
AT the moment of the assassination he
was waiting in the gallery of the bathing
establishment for his wife, who was to join
him for lunch. Suddenly the assassin, who
had the appearance of an ordinary visitor,
approached and fired at him point blank
one bullet passing through the body and
coming out behind under the left shoulder,
and the other two lodging in the hend. He
fell Instantly and never fully recovered
consciousness

Foreseeing later events, Canovas proposed
in 1865 to establish reforms in the Antilles,
and to that effect he convoked what was
called the Junta de Information, which met
at Madrid from 1855 to 1857. In vain did
the Cuban delegates to the junta point out
the gravity of the situation and urge the
adoption Of certain reforms Their advice
was totally ignored, and the result was the
Cuban revolution of 1858, Canovas often
referred to the failure of the junta say
ing that he was no longer minister of the
colonies when the junta held its sessions;
but his excuse discredited by the fact
that when he became the lord and master
of Spain he always opposed colonial re-
form as Incompatible with the interests of
Spain, or, as he Used to say, because the
national reality could not be made to
accord with an autonomous colony
1t has not been definitely determined
whether or not Canovas was always faith
full to Queen Isabella. He was accused of
conspiring with those who wished to place
the Duke of Montpensier upon the Spanish
| throne. The scheme having failed, Canovas
went to Paris and became reconciled with
Queen Isabella He presided over the educa-
ton of young Don Alfonso, then Prince of
Asturias, and inspired him with compare
lively liberal ideas. He was the soul of
the movement which resulted in the procla-
nation Of Don Alfonso as King OF Spain
by General Martinez Camp9s at Sagunto on
December 81. 1874 Canovas then assumed
ship by the young king while still In Paris.
AS the prime minister of the restored
monarchy Canovas deserted his compare
lively liberal antecedents He abroaated
the law for civil marriage, restricted the
right Of association, abolished the liberty of
learning, deprived of their chairs at the
university such men as Salmeron, CASTELAR,
and others, some Of whom were banished
from the country, and consented to the re-
turn OF the Jesuits to Spain. The concoriat
OF 1851 with the holy see was re-estab-
lished II
After serving the crown as governor Of
Cadiz in 1855, director general or the adj
ministration from 1858 to 1861, and lastly
IN that same year, as under secretary of
state for the interior, the queen called him
to the ministry as a member of the Mon
cabinet. In 1855 he held the portfolios of
finance and the colonies in the O'Donnell
cabinet, and 1t devolyed upon him to draw
up the law for the abolition of the slave
trade. Shortly before the revolution of
1868 he became especially conspicuous az
one of the last to defend with energy in the
conciliatory ideas with the constitutional
monarchy. when all the parties that had
supported this political doctrine had de-
serted the parliament. He was banIshed a
