sAGAsTA's MEMORY.
Spanish Cabinet Resolves To Give
Him Grand Funeral.

Madrid, Jan. 6-The cabinet at a
meeting today decided on a state
funeral for the late premier, Senior Sa-
gasta, who died suddenly yesterday
evening, similar TO that of former Pre-
mier Canovas del Castillo.
The funeral services will take place
Wednesday at o'clock In the after
noon The remains Of the late premier
were conveyed 10 the chamber Of dep
utles this afternoon, King Alfonso, ac-
companed by the Duke OF Sutomayer
prayed at the bier Immense crowds
have passed before the coffin, which
stands in the lobby Of the courts.
Senior Sagasta's last term OF office
overtaxed his physical strength. He
persisted however, IN holding out, and
often Used a stimulant before attending
the cabinet councils or addressing the
cortes After his resignation Of the
post Of premier his weakness increased
rapidly. and when he was compelled to
take his bed last Saturday his physl-
clans had no hope Of his recovery. Dur
ing his last hours Senior Sagasta was
only kept alive by the administration Of
oxygen and heart stlmulants He died
possessed Of a very small fortune, and
without leaving u Will.
The demonstrations Of sympathy here
and In the provinces have been remark
able. particularly among the lower and
middle classes.

senate and house on Jan. 20. In the
afternoon the governors message was
presented
Gov. Stone deyotes considerable space
to the recent anthracite strife. He says
that the strike Of the anthracite min-
crs and their associate Worknen was
thesInost important and far-reachlng
event Of It's kind that ever occurred in
the state and that the expenses IN
CURED by the state in connection with
the disturbances caused by the strike
viii exceed N,OOO,0OO,
The governor urges the passage Of a
law u prevent future labor disturb
ances, as follows:
In my judgment a compulsory arbl-
trati0n law could and should be passed
for the settlement OF difficulties be-
tween employer and employe, Such a
law is entirely constitutional and feas-
ible, looking upon strikes as injurious
to the public harmful 10 society and
destructive to life and property They
are generally settled after all harm
has been done, Why should not they
he settled before the harm is done and
before large losses occur to life and
property? We should recognize strikes
as existing evils and as dangerous to
the public good, and, while mindful Of
the rights of both employer and en-
ploye. adjust tlem from higher
standpoint namely for the good OF
society, and the preservation Of public
peace, and life and property. When a
large strike Is settled We delude our
selves with the thought that no more
will occur. We should contemplate
them as likely to again occur with
the same results as In the past. With
out criticislng employers or employees
without blaming either, we should so
legisate as 10 prevent the recurrence
Of these disturbances
Referring TO the insurance Of chill
dren, he says
81 heartily concur IN the opinion Of
the insurance commissioner that law
should be passed limiting the amount
of insurance on children TO a burial
benefit and fixing an age under which
they would not be accepted
The governor recommends some ad-
dltional legislation be passed for the
protection of children who, he says are
too young to work in factories but
are employed In coal breakers, slate
and stone quarries. He says
II heartily concur IN the opinion OF
the factory inspector that It is incon-
sistent to prohibit a child of IL years
from working IN a factory or
mercantile establishment and al
low him TO secure employment in more
dangerous and undesirable places
