A Forerunner of Better Times.
'Tt affords me great pleasure to be
present at this occasion, and to express
the opinion that the movement that
has been started is but the forerunner
of better times. The presence of the
representative of the Canadian gov
ernment in our midst is a good indica-
ton that relations between US and the
Inhabitants of Canada will be drawn
closer. The wish to restore the recip-
rocal relations that were in effect in
the past is becoming more general
throughout the country, for everyone
is getting to realize it's Importance.
Every state north of Missouri and
west of the Mississippi is interested,
and New England is now raising her
voice. 1t rests with us to push this
matter to a satisfactory conclusion,
and it is our duty to lend our aid in
this direction. Let us do what we can
and let us see that our representatives
do what they can to ensure the foFma-
ton of an agreement that will insure
mutual trade relations with out best
customer-the one that we may deal
and have as much assurance as among
ourselves

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. TO-
Members of the senate do not believe
the president will go to the extent of
calling an extra session of congress in
They believe this is a bluff for the ben
eft of the public. Meantime they are
planning to head off this legislation.
Such members as Elkins, Aldrich, Kean
and Hanna have been studying the bills
drawn up by Attorney General Knox
and have decided they will not do. They
have TO objections to Roosevelt's play
to the galleries, but they do not propose
to ALLOW the rough rider boy to go too
far.
The interests which furnish the Re-
publican campaign fund intend to see
to it that the Knox measures for the
regulation of railroads do not become
a law. The programme now is to let
the house Of representatives do as it
will. Speaker Henderson has been call
ed in and has agreed to make a special
rule and have the bills called up at the
proper time. They will be pushed
through with flourish of trumpets and
will then go to the senate. Here they
will find the senate busy with state
hood and sundry other subjects which
it is calculated will fully occupy the
time up to March 4.
When an appeal is made at the close
to rush things the opposition will plead
'for deliberate consideration" of some
important matter and the legislation
will fail of passage. 1t will look like a
real race, but be In fact hippodrome.

FIRES At SPANISH
COURT OFFICIAL
Man Sends a Bullet at q
Carriage in a Royal
Procession.

MADRID, Jan. 10.-As King Alfonso,
Dowager Queen Christina and the court
were returning from church this after
noon a man, who afterwards gave his
name as Fieto, fired a pistol at one Of
the carriages in the royal procession.
The bullet went wild and no one was
injured. The king heard the shot and
put his head out Of the carriage win
dow, but he was Immediately dragged
back into his seat by the queen mother.
The escort CT city guards threw them
selves upon the would-be assassin and
overpowered him.
FfetO was taken to the police station,
where he said he did not desire to kill
the king, but the grand chamberlain,
the Duke of Sotomayor, at whose car
riage he had aimed. He was searched
and in his pockets were found un-
mailed letters marked Registered" and
addressed to President Roosevelt, King
Edward, the emperor of Germany and
the president of the high court of JUS
uce at Mexico, and also receipts for
registered letters and a visiting card Of
the mayor of London.
Ffeto was put under examination by
magistrate, to whom he repeated his
statement as to the object of his shoot
ing. He insisted that he was not an
anarchist and said that his wife, a
French woman, had confined him in a
lunatic asylum. The prisoner, in maxi
ing this statement did not appear ex-
cited, but there are indications that he
is insane.
A police sergeant, who was the first
to seize FietO, makes the following
statement:
After the kings carriage had pass
ed, Ffeto, who was standing in front
of me, raised a pistol and fired at the
second carriage. Before he could fire
a second time I struck him with my
sword. He cried: You wish to kill
me, but 1 seek the life of the duke of
Sotomayor, who is the cause of all my
troubles" The duke of Sotomayor,
however, was not in the second car
riage. 1t was occupied by the mar
quise de Ia Nina. the court grand
equerry, and two other officials" 9
