Charge Intended for Them '- Wounds One of Their
 FOotnnen.
BRAVERY OF THE KING.
Shields His Daughter by Standing Before Her During the
 Fusillade.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ATHENS, Feb. 26.-The King was re- turning from Phalereum at o'clock this evening in a landau, accompanied by the Princess Maria, when two men who were hidden in a ditch alongside the road opened fire with guns upon the occupants of the carriage. The first shot missed, but the second wounded a footman in the arm. The coachman whipped up his horses and the royal party dashed away at a gallop. The miscreants fired seven more shots after them, none of which took effect, and the King and the Princess returned to the palace unhurt.
 The King says that one of the assas- sins was dressed in gray clothing, and his Majesty declares that he could easily identify him.
 When the second shot whizzed past the carriage the King arose and stood in front of his daughter, in order to shield her One of the horses was slightly wounded. One of the assail- ants knelt in the middle of the road and aimed straight at the King, who noticed that the mans hand was shak- ing. The shot missed and the King had a clear view of this man, who, his Ma jesty says, was barely 20 years old. He continued to fire after the carriage un- til II was out or range HIS COIupdl- ion did not leave the ditch.
 As soon as the news became known all the leading politicians hastened to the palace to express their congratula- tions over the escape of King George and the Princess Maria. The action of his Majesty in shielding the Princess at the risk of his life has aroused great enthusiasm.
 A cadet who was on horseback some distance behind the royal carriage heard the shooting and galloped to the scene in time to see the Kings assailant fleeing in the direction of Hymedus. Strong parties are searching the dis trict for the assassins.
 M. Delyannis and M. Ralli. former Premiers, were among the first to ar rive at the palace to offer their con gratulations. At half past 9 o'clock the metropolitan held a thanksgiving ser vice in the palace. The Queen knelt, sobbing, throughout the service. A solemn te deum will be held to-mor- row, at which all the members of the royal family will attend.
 All of the diplomats and perSonageS of prominence have called at the pal ace. His Majesty said to them that the subversive propaganda of certain jour nals had brought about deplorable re- suits. King George and his eldest son, Prince Constantine, have been. very un- popular since the overwhelming defeat inflicted upon the Greek army by the Turks last year.
 Shortly after midnight the police were on the track of the club of which the Kings assailants are members. The assassins were chosen by lot It is ex- pected several arrests will shortly be made

STRIKERS NEED
 FINANCIAL AID
Appeal to Be Made to the American Federation
 of Labor.
Believe That the Prospect of a War With Spain Will Cause Fac
 tories to Reopen.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 BOSTON, Feb. 26.-The New Bedford strike council issued a call this morn ing for an important meeting to-mor- row afternoon, when questions of the gravest importance in the progress of the strike will be considered. The lead CTS of the strike realize that the fight cannot be maintained without financial aid, and 1t has been decided to appeal to the American Federation of Labor, which never assists until formally ap- pealed to. It was thought the strike could be maintained by voluntary con- tributions, but although the sum real ized this week far exceeds that of any previous week during the strike, the amount is insufficient to carry on the fight.
 At the meeting tomorrow it will be decided to delegate Secretary Samuel Ross of the Spinners' Union to go to Washington on Wednesday. The spin ners have not yet touched their re- serve fund.- for the mule spinners are so we'll organized that they are being supported by outside comrades. The case is different with larger bodies, but the feeling is that with the American Federation of Labor behind the strikers the operatives will be able to hold out long enough to win their battle. The war talk has entered largely into this feeling of buoyancy, and the leaders look for such jump in the cloth mar ket that the manufacturers will be forced to open up on the old prices.
 Tn the discussion of the situation this morning there was but little hope held out for a settlement. Good judges say that should the American Federation of Labor take up the fight the strike will be prolonged to such a length that it will either wear itself out or come to an end through some unexpected event which cannot be foreshadowed.

WHERE EXTREMES MEET.

The newspaper is wide field, full Of
roses and thorns, says an exchange.
When you roast the preacher the un-
godly smile; when you roast the I'M
godly the preacher smiles. If you
roast the saloon man the teetotaler
smiles; when you roast the teetotaler
the saloon man sets 'em up. If you
swear, you are wicked man, and if
'ou pray, y GU are hypocrite. If you
have an opinion you are fool, and if
don't, you are nonenity. The preach
ar knows one thing, the saloon man or
the gambler another; but the journal
ist is expected to know everything.
He is the best man and the worst man
In the community. Cussed if you do
and be cussed if you don't. Flattered
and fawned upon by the candidate for
office until it is attained, then he don't
care a snap for you. The friend OF

Last week there was held in the
city of Walla Walla, Wash, the an
nual meetings of the Grand Lodge
]. o. o. F. and Assembly OF Rebekah
of the state of Washington, a
portion of whose proceedings neces-
sarily became public almost as soon
as enacted. These sessions lasted
some three days and hundreds of
members searched the Spokane
dailies in vain or those items in ref
erence to the work which are always
given out for publication and no
doubt those members would have been
perfectly willing to be deprived of sew
eral yards of fake war news and mile
or so of Spokane boom, had the big
dailies seen fit to publish just little
of the proceedings, even if they were
held at Walla Walla.

THE WHEAT SITUATION.

Wheat seems to be steadily falling
in price and the chances are that it
will 60 still lower. The prospect of
an almost universal crop OF cereals,
which means large surplus, and the
probability that the war will be OF
short duration, tends to make dealers
cautious, and while there may be
temporary rises now and then, we
believe the general tendency OF the
market will be downward. Local
dealers are advised by their representa-
tives on the coast to let loose of what
wheat they may have.

1t is amusing to hear two for cent
politicians trying to explain how it
happened in Oregon last week. The
idea probably never entered their poor
little pin-heads that Oregon politics
has always been one of the unexplain-
able things, that even giants in politi-
cal lore never care to tackle, one of
the few conditions that exist apparent
Iy in violation of every law of cause
and effect and if any one would thor
oughly understand the force of the
adage, "the way of the politician is
hard" he should certainly try cam
paign in Oregon. Any old ticket
would do but the most unlikely is
generally the most successful.

AN APPEAL TO PUBLIC OPINION
In Behalf of PupIic noraIity and for
the Suppression of the Liquor
Traffic i'm Our Midst.

There are certain evils in our COM
munity that are menace to our
homes, our churches and our fair
city and therfor we believe that those
evils should be Immediately suppress
sed. We appeal to public opinion in
behalf of the boys and girls, the young
men and maidens, the old men and
women whose existence is threatened
and whose happiness and comfort is
imperril, d by those evils, to assist us
in crushing and pulverizing those
evils. We hold that the saloon is a
public nuisance and should therefor
be abated. The saloon is diametri-
cally opposed to the church, home
and a good government. 1t is an I'M
mitigated as well as an unnecessary
evil, and should be exterminated root
and branch. But why is the saloon
tolerated in an intelligent community
like this? We make bold to answer
because the saloon is an political
factor, and because it yields tariff
for revenue. But does it pay to Ii
cense an evil? How much blood
money does our city fathers receive?
Perhaps $1,000 would cover the whole
amount, and we may naturally man
ifest curiosity as interested citizens
to know how all this money is applied
Well, we presume that part is ap-
piled as follows
LIST The erection of bran splinter
calaboose or city Jail.
End On the salaries of officers
sworn to execute the law as conser-
voters OF the public peace and guardi-
ans of the majesty of the law.
3rd A part of this blood money is
expended in making arrests of drunk
en- sailors, hobos and saloon buns and
in feeding clothing and furnishing
the offal OF the saloons.
How much profit therefor does our
city get from the saloons, an does it
pay? No. Commercially it does not
and morally it does not. A business
that has more notoriety on statute
books and in jails, penetentiaries and
on sccaffolds than any other business
on the face of the earth except the
sheriff's, does not pay and is not a re-
spectacle business and should be out
lawed.
Who Is responsible for this state of
things? We answer, the public, as
well as the city officials. If we would
only vote as we prayed, or resolved, or
swore, or shot, very few saloons won
now be in existence to tell the story.
When twelve citizens of precinct or
municipality, representing a very
small minority of the population of a
city, can SO far ignore and overawe
the wishes of vast majority of the
people by granting licenses to saloons,
it does look as though there was no
resource except to the legislative or
judicial power of the state.
But let public opinion crystalize in
favor of the revocation of saloon
licenses, and let us away with this
modern Judas and Burrobis, and
cruelty it as a public malefactor.
God speed the day.
Yours in the interest of humanity
and decent city government,
B. L. Hicks.
