Spain Once q Republic.


Please inform me and others, through
THE VOICE, if Spain had republican
form of government within this gener-
alton, how long ago it was, how long 1T
lasted, and if some of the head men In
it are now living in Spain ?
JAMES SIMPSON.
SCHENECTADY, n. Y.
Yes. Spain was republic tor
q few months, 1874. When Fer
dinand VII, in 1929, married his
fourth wife, Maria Christina of
Naples, he published an edict re-
voklng the "Salic Law" which
provided that the throne OF Spain
should not be occupied by wo-
man as long as there was male
heir to the throne. A daughter
isabella H. was born who was
proclaimed queen upon her fathers
death in 1888, and her mother un-
dertook the office of regent. There
upon Ferdinand's brother, Don
Carlos, began hostilities. lie was
driven from the country after he
had abdicated in favor OF his son,
another Don Carlos. The sup
porters of this line comprise the
"Carlists,' who are torment to
Spain to the present day and
continuous menace to the throne.
The present "pretender," is a son
of this same Don Carlos, and a
grandson of the original Don
Carlos, brother of Ferdinand. lsa-
bella H., upon reaching her ma.
iority, was married by arrangement
to her cousin Francis OF Assist,
who had made physical wreck OF
himself by a life of lust and de-
bauchery. Enraged at this, Isa-
bella herself went to the bad NOR
ally and brought scandal on the
court. The disgraceful intrigues
arising so enraged the people that
lin 1863 they rose in rebellion and
drove Isabella off to France. A
regency was formed while Spain
skirmished around for a king. 1t
took two years to find one. In
1870, Amedeus of AOsta, second
son of Victor Emanuel of Italy,
undertook the job, but it was hard
work and he threw it Up in disgust
three years later. Then a provis-
ional republic was formed with
Emilio Castelar,, an eX,newspaper
man (who now figures prominently
in dispatches from Madrid), as
president. This was the signal for
an uprising Of the Carlists under
Don Carlos, and the republic was
upset in a months time; but the
Carlists did not get possession. a
committee of military men took
possession and began hunting for
another king. They discovered a
son of the fugitive Isabella and
placed him OH the throne as AL
phonso Mi. But AlphOnso was a
single man, and, after the Carlists
were subdued, sought wife.
Christina, an Austrian arch
duchess, was recommended, and
Alphonso married her without ever
having seen her, The wedding
was performed by proxy. AL
phonso MI. died just before the
present king was born. 1t is this
Christina who is now regent of
Spain and this boy who is now
Alphonso XIII. the boy king of
Spain.-New York Voice.

SPANISH PARLIAMENT.

Madrid. May IA measure designed
to encourage the running OF whatever
blockades the Americans might estab-
lish was passed by the lower house OF
the parliament yesterday. Ii does away
with differential duties on foreign ships
trading between Spain and her colonies.
Premier Sagasta replied to Salmeron's
attacks on the present regime. retorting
that the state of anarchy which existed
in Spain during the short-hved Republi-
can regime under Salmeron made Spain
the laughing stock Of the world. The
premier defended the policy of the gov
eminent In doing its utmost to avoid
war while the Yankees were playing a
foul game" He repeated his appeal for
union. adding that whoever sowed dis
cord was not . patriot. He concluded
his speech by declaring that the gov
ernment would prosecute the war to the
finish.

EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS.

Philadelphia, May 12.-Three persons
were burned to death and property
amounting to- s255, 900 was destroyed by a
fire which originated in 6-story build
ing occupied by McCadden Bros, whole
sale dealers in toys and fireworks. The
dead are:
William McCadden, a member OF the
firm; Charles Richardson. a packer;
Evelyn G. Caldwell, stenographer and
typewriter. Their bodies were found
on the second floor in the rear OF the
building and were so charred that 1t
was impossible to recognize them. AS
all employees with the exception of those
named have been accounted for. there
can be no doubt of their identity.
The fire started in the basement Of
the building and was caused by the ex-
plosion Of fireworks which had recently
been brought into the store and were
being unpacked. At the time Of the ex-
plosion there were 25 people in the build
ing.
Less than half an hour after the ex-
plosion the McCadden establishment
was a mass Of flames. The Are quickly

For One Of Them.
LITTLE ARIEL FRYE FOUND DEAD

Boston, May 1.-THE famous poem or
the bride locking herself In trunk was
vividly recalled In tragedy which was
disclosed in Brighton Wednesday after
noon. For more than four days. Bert
rand c. Davis. years old. and Ariel
Frye. years old. had been missing.
Yesterday the children were found
locked in a narrow cupboard i'm the
closet of vacant house. The little boy
was alive. but the little girl had died Of
suffocation.
The children when last seen were
playing I'm front of the house of Charles
r. Davis. the father of the boy. the
little girls parents, Albert Frye and
wife. living a short distance or.
At noon they had disappeared, but 1t
was not until some hours afterwards
that a search was begun. For some
days the parents. friends and the police
hunted the neighborhood. including a
number OF vacant houses which were
near by. but no trace of the little ones
could be found.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Davis and
Mr.. Frye were sitting on the front steps
OF the formers home. when Mr.. Davis
suggested that one more search be made
OF the vacant house directly opposite.
The two men went over and. after walk
ing about for while. one of them
thought he heard cries. 1t took some
time TO trace the sound, but at last n
pantry door was opened and. while moth
Ing was seen of the children. the cries
We're distinctly audible from a small
cupboard.
When the door was burst open the
little boy jumped out but the girl did not
move. and the searchers found her dead.
The two children had crept in the cup
board. and the spring lock had held
them there for Just 100 hours.
The medical examiner who viewed the
body OF the little girl said that her death
was probably due to suffocation and not
from exhaustion. The boy will recover.
