ton, is as follows:
An interesting inquiry took place in
the court of oyer and terminer some
time ago. Indisputable evidence was
given toward proving that heinous
incident had taken place during pub
lie pageant. 1t seems that a pretty girl,
rather juvenile in appearance, having
an extraordinary head of hair, like an
Albino, represented Thalia and sat on
a pedestal erected on one of the floats.
The procession was directing its course
down the Mall, when the attention of
the onlookers was drawn to the ex-
cited conduct Of one of the spectators
who had fixed his eyes upon the tiara,
set with jewels in the form of carat,
which Thalia wore upon her head as
she sat in what seemed to be her won't
ed attitude of nonchalance and leisure.
This person was afterward shown to
be a maniacal laundress whose squalor
and detestation and hideous grimaces
were all unnoticed by the mock god
dess. What vagary bade this reptile
turn her servile eyes, full Of rapine, on
the beautiful maiden, it is hard to say;
but suddenly, under pretense of seeing
something on the ground, she produced
a hiatus in the crowd, and thus OBJ
tained precedence of all. Simulta-
neously with her appearance the van
drove past. She then filled the cir
with gross raillery and began to pro-
mulgate anarchism, society's lack of
probity, and the general prediction
of politicians for patronage. Then she
besought her audiencet hear her dilate

RIOTERS SHOT DOWN.
SPANISH MoBS ASK BREAD, AND
GET BULLETS.
Violent Demonstrations Are Report
ed Throughout Spain-Restaurants.
Shops, and the Homes of Merchants
Stoned by Hungry Crowds.
Many Killed or Wounded

Dispatches indicate that the crisis in
Spain has become intensified The queen
regent is rapidly losing the little popu-
larity she has, and is now insolently re
ferred to as that Austrian wOman" 1t
is believed she would quit Spain AZ once
should she believe that such step wouiI
promote the interests of the infant i;inc.
Meanwhile the trouble in the provinces
increases and the rioting mag become Il
revolution. Thus far a number of per
sons have been killed and wounded and
several buildings wrecked. In the finan-
cal world all is chaos. Runs on banks
everywhere prevail and the funds with
drawn are being boarded. The speech
of Lord Salisbury in London enraged the
Spaniards. They discern that with En-
gland in sympathy with America the
other European powers will hesitate to
act for Spain.
The outlook in Madrid grows darker
every hour that passes. reports Of riot
pour in from the provinces, and in most
cases there has been bloodshed. A Sc
rious disturbance occurred at Caceres.
and still more violent demonstration
took place at Leon, where large crowds
of women and children paraded the
streets crying, Give us bread or work.
These paraders were joined by large
numbers of men, and the disorder became
greater. The mob stoned the restaurants,
provision shops, and the houses of mer-
chants, breaking doors and windows and
seizing everything they could lay hands
on. The civil guard called upon the
crowd to disperse, but the demand was
refused, whereupon the troops fired a
voliey into the mob. A mob of 10000
persons rioted at Helquist and plundered
houses on all sides. The police fired into
the crowd. Eight thousand miners. who
are on strike at Murcia, paraded the
streets shouting Death to the thieves"
Down with the octroi dues" The mob
tried to set fire to the railway station and
a number of other buildings, but was not
successful. The mob then marched on
Cartagena, but was intercepted by
troops. who fired upon and wounded sew
eral of the rioters.
All these disturbances are due to eco
nomic causes, to the great dearth of
wheat and the consequent advance in the
price of bread, and the closing of fac
tories and workshops, owing TO the COM
plete paralyZation of trade and the pro-
hibitive prices of coal and raw materials
The government is adopting drastic meas
ures to keep food in the country. A bill
passed the cortes, to come into immediate
operation, totally prohibiting exp>r. of
wheat, -four and potatoes.

Who Are

Republican leaders are getting ready
structionists. This, they believe, will
furnish good campaign material for the
political contest this fall, and they pro-
pose TO put things in such n shape that
they can find an excuse to use it.
With the demands of war upon the
country the Republicans are preparing
measures for the securing of revenue
which contain propositions entirely con-
trary TO Democratic doctrines and
which must of necessity be opposed by
the Democrats in Congress. If these
measures are not opposed, then the
Republicans will succeed in passing
laws which, under ordinary circum-
stances, could not have been passed.
If, however, the Democrats refuse to
be made the victims of this sort of
trickery, 1nen the Republicans will
raise the cry that Democrats are "ob-
Structionists,' and will go before the
country with this false issue As
matter of fact, the Republicans are the
obstructionists. They refuse to yield
their partiSanShip to the demands of
patriotism. and they propose to force is
sues which in all decency and fairness
should he left until the more imminent
demands of the war have been met.
1t is far from being settled that
bond issue is an immediate necessity.
yet the Republicans have taken it for
granted that there is such 81 necessity
and have proposed an issue of $4,000
900 worth of bonds. All these matters
will have TO be discussed in Congress.
and when the facts are laid before the
people they will be able to decide who
patch.
