Hiberntan Con inference.

Trenton. \. j., Aug. 9.-The conference
between representatives Of the two fac
tons of the Ancient Order Of Hibernans,
with Bishop McFaul as arbitrator, for the
purpose of agreeing upon Il plan OF con.
solidaton. began this afternoon behind
closed doors at the bishops residence. The
Ancient Order of Hibernians were repre-
sented by the national president, vice
president and others, and the Board OF
Erin branch by the national officers.
Maurice T. Wilherc, speaking for the
American branch. and Edward X: Hayes
for the Board of Erin, both stated before
the conference that the entire plan of con
solidaton would depend upon the bishop $
decision. Two of the principal matters to
be decided will be as TO the offering in
the consolidated organization and the mat
ter of eligibility of membership. In the
American branch those who are OF Irish
descent from either parent may become
members, while the Erin branch requires
both parents to be Irish.
Time for submission of papers will be al
lowed before decision is given. None OF
the parties would say anything but that
the meeting was entirely harmonious.

Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford. the United
States minister to Spain, now. in London
en- route for San Sebastian. where he eX-
pected to present his credentials to the
queen regent in the presence of Senior
Canovas.
Gen. Woodford was so overcome that
several minutes passed before he could
express his horror at the deed and his
profound sympathy with Spain in her mis-
fortune.
When he had recovered from the shock
of the intelligence, he said:
This is terrible and 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 eff

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
e Dead Premier Had an Active PO-
1iticaI Life for Years.

ffS litical Life for Years.
Mardid. Aug. S.-Senor Antonio Cano-
vas del Castillo according to the Diction-
nare Universal DIES Contemporaries, was
born at Malaga, February 8, 1923. He
took the course in philosophy and led in
the university of Madrid in his career as a
Journalist. In 1851 he made his debut
under the patronage of Seniors Rios. ROsas
and Racheco as chief editor of the Patria,
in which he defended conservative ideas.
About this time he published a volume of
lyric poems and series of historical pa
pers. He was in doubt whether to follow
Il literary or political career, but soon
found himself turned to politics by the
course of events. In 1852 he was named
as deputy for Malaga and from that time
to his death had never ceased to occupy
a seat in the cOrteS. In 1906 he was
charge d'affaires at Rome and prepared Il
historical memorandum on the relations
of Spain with the holy see. which served
as q basis for the concOrdat.
After serving the crown as governor of
Cadiz in 1859, director general of 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 membem OF the monar-
chical cabinet. In 1860 he held the port
tOll0 q. 0nalcc iHu IHt ColOhltn III 'h'
O'Donpell cabinet, and it devolved upon
him to draw up the law for the abolition
of the slave trade. Shortly before the rev.
olution of 1868 he became especially CON
spicuouS as one of the last to defend with
energy in the cortes the principle of blend
ing liberal and cOnciliatory IDEAS with the
constitutional monarchy, when all tn"
parties that had supported this POLITICAL
doctrine had deserted the parliament. lie
was banished short time before the revo-
luton occurred and took no part in it,.
In the face of triumphant revolution;
after his returnf rom ex lie and in the run
constituent assembly of 1865, supported
by Seniors Elyrayam, Bugallal and two
others. he hoisted the standard, OF eglti-
mate and constitutional monarchy. Inns
is his greatest title to fame. His aDlli'y
6nollv secured for him the supreme direc-

THE NEWS IN LONDON.
The Spanish Ambassador Believes
the Crime Has No Political
Significance.

London. Aug. S-The Spanish embassy
in London has received two kilograms. the
first briefly stating the fact of the assas-
sination and the second coming direct
from San Sebastian. stating that Senior
Canovas had been the victim of an III
famous attack. but saying nothing of his
death and concluding with the statement
that if the outrage he of anarchiStic or
igin it has no political complications. with
the additional assertion that the whole
of Spain is tranquil and that there is not
the least symptoms of any crisis in the
state of public affairs. The dispatch says
the assassin is apparently an Italian.
For these reasons the Spanish amhassa-
dor. Count de Casta Valencia, in the
course of an interview. expressed the
opinion that news of the death was pre-
mature. He said:
"Thc belief that the crime is not n po-
litical one but the work of fanatical
anarchist is borne out by the fact that
the criminal is an Italian. We all know
that of recent years Italian anarchists
have been very active. Witness the as
sassination of President Carnot and the
attempt OH King Humbert and other sim
liar crimes. .....
"They were all committed by Italians.
This is very trying time for me, apart
from the difficulties to which such crime
give rise and the doubt hanging over
what really happened. Senior Canovas del
Castillo is my brother-in-law. and there
is more than this relationship between
us. All our lives we have been the best
of comrades. We pursued the same
course together at the university"
The news of the assassination was com

London Press Comment.

London. Aug. 9.--The Daily News in
an editorial on the assassination OF
Canovas. says:
"The deed follows quickly on the
pious invocations to England as the
classic land of liberty, uttered by the
eyiled Spanish anarchists on their ar
rival at Liverpool. These are anarchist
words. On the other hand. the Killing
is one of their acts. 1t is Impossible to
draw any moral but this, that the mill
tant anarchist is beast OF prey. with
ont even Il beasts discrimination
The Times says editorially:
THE crime appears to be an act OF
anarchist revenge for the execution OF
the Barcelona conspirators. The an
archists have given mankind one more
reason to regard them ms the implaca-
BILE enemies of their race. Spain loses
in Senior Canovas del Castillo the best
and most capable of her living states
mem
The Daily Chronicle says:
1--WE can not find words to express our
horror of the act. It's lesson is that the
mere suppression of anarchy by force Is
no cure. Spain needs reform. and I'M
less reform comes, there is reason to
fear the repetition of such crimes. The
act is dire blow to the cause of free
dom. 1t will arouse all the forces OF
reaction, and will tie the czar and the
kaiser more closely together in desire
to represss reasonable liberty"
