WOULD.BR ASSASSIN INSANE
KING ALFONSO CONGRATULATED
ON HIS ESCAPE.

Fefto Again PEs Under Examfmatfons-
Careful Inquiry Confixms First Belief
That He 10 a oaeer
Mother aud rnfanta Were Badly
Frightened but King Was Cool.
Madrid, Jan. 11.-Feite, the man who
fired pistol yesterday at the carriage
in the royal procession in which the
Duke of Sotomayor, the grand cham
berlain, was supposed to be riding, but
which contained King Alfonso and the
queen mother was examined again to-
day. His bearing during the question
ing confirmed the previous reports that
he is suffering from monomania. A
careful official inquiry has shown that
Feite is not connected with anarchists.
It was first reported that Feite had at
tempted to assassinate King Alfonso.
His majesty has received host Of
royal and other congratulations upon
his escape.
A dynamite bomb which was sent
here by rail in a box from Barcelona
has been found at the railroad station.
All attempts to find the consignee of
the box have been fruitless. The bomb
reached here to-day before the funeral
of Senior Sagasta and is supposed to
have been for use during the passage
of the funeral cortege.
When Feite fired at the carriage of
the Duke of Sotomayor yesterday the
queen mother and the Infanta were
very much alarmed. The king was very
cool, however, and inquired IL any one
had been hurt. After being informed
to the contrary he chatted with the
civil governor. who walked alongside
the royal carriage giving his majesty
the details of the outrage. Upon arriv-
ing at the palace the king Immediately
repaired to a balcony to watch the ex-
cited populace. The queen in the mean
while was so upset that physicians had
to be called to attend her.
The pistol used by Feite was an old
double -barrelled weapon. 1t now trans
pires that Feite was confined for nearly
one year in a lunatic asylum in Buenos
Ayres. He returned to Spain last June,
since when he has lived chiefly in Mad
rid, vairly seeking employment often
changing his abode and always attract
ing notice by his reticence and gloomy
aspect. He pestered people in high po-
sitions for protection and wrote to this
end even to King Alfonso and other
sovereigns. He was several times en-
ployed as a servant in aristocratie
houses, but was always dismissed as
crazy. Feite alleges that the Argentine
government robbed him Of hundreds Of
thousands of pounds and imprisoned
him when he instituted suit to recover
the money.
Rome. Jan. 1.-THE pope learned this
morning of the attempt upon the life
of King Alfonso of Spain. He received
the news with exceptional concern and
dictated a telegram to his godson con-
graduating him upon his escape. The
pontiff then prayed for a considerable
time in his private chapel.

HEAVY OUTPUT OF COAL
GREATER LAST WEEK THAN IN
MANY YEARS.

PennsyIvanta and Reading Officials
Say I0,200 Cars W ero Taken Down the
Main Line-EqraI 40 235,00O Tons-A
Reason Given why the Famine is Not
Yes Relieved.
Reading Pa, Jan. 1.-THE Pennsylva
MIA and Reading Railroad officials claim
that for the week ending tonight more
anthracite coal was taken down the
main line than for any previous week
in years. The total is 10,200 Of all classes
of cars or an average of 1900 cars for
each working day of the week, equal to
nearly 235, 900 tons. This was distribut-
ed in the company's territory as far as
New York, and along its branch in this
state and elsewhere.
The coal famine throughout this sec
tion has reached such an acute stage
that many industries in the smaller
towns will soon have to close and in the
country districts the distress is so
Widespread that teams have started for
the Schuylkill county coal fields, thirty
and forty miles distant, to supply press
ing necessities.
In answer to the criticism that if so
much coal is mined and shipped why it
does not relieve the famine it is stated
that there are many industrial estab-
lishments that do not use coke or btu
minous coal and that many scores of
these must be supplied with anthracite
coal to keep them in operation.

Temper ature Drope "a Degrees in Less
Than Two Hours
Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE tempera ture in
Chicago to-day dropped tWenty-four
degrees in less than two hours, and to-
night is lowering around the zero
mark. Late in the day brick north
west wind sprang up and intensified the
low temperature. There is much suf-
fering, but as the worst cases of desti-
tuition have been provided for by char
liable institutions no deaths have been
reported during the day.
The coal situation remains unchanged
and its causes and effects were discuss
ed by many Chicago pastors in their
sermons tonight.
The actual search for evidence of
combine of coal dealers for the purpose
of forcing up the price of fuel in the
Chicago market will be resumed to-
morrow by the special grand jury which
began its task yesterday. Twenty-Five
coal men, some of them the heads of
"lIOlESdIG tlIllS anu OIIIGIS operating
coal mines, have been summoned to
appear before the grand jury and tell
what they know of the ring which is
claimed to exist. 1t is the intention
that no one but coal men shall be ex
amned. Trainloads of coal cars side
tracked and labelled with placards in
structing freight crews to hold the con-
signments Indefinitely, it is said, have
been discovered by the parties who
caused the investigation to be made.
1t is also asserted that outside the city
limits, on one and probably two roads,
countless tons of coal have been taken
from the cars and heaped up on either
side of the tracks for long distances.
The grand jury will insist upon being
Informed why this coal has not been
brought into the market and put on
sale, thus relieving the present coal
famine.
Two hundred thousand persons in
Chicago are suffering from ailments
