TWO TRAGIC DEATHS
Within Half an Hour Near
Broadway Tabernacle.

New York, April Two tragedies
which have occurred within half an
hour of each other at Broadway and
Thirty-fourth street caused much ex-
element among persons viewing the
night scenes on the most frequented
corners OF New York after dark.
On the sidewalk before the abandon
ed Broadway tabernacle, a youth was
noticed pacing back and forth, weep
ing. Curious crowds stopped to gaze
at the young man who, however, spoke
to none. For nearly half an hour he
walked in front of the old church and
then, in plain view of hundreds, sud
from his pockets, drank the contents
and fell in commissions. He was carried
into a drug store but could not be
saved. He was identified as a mes
senger who had been thrown out of
work and apparently had eaten moth
ing in two days.
Excitement over the suicide had Just
begun to subside when a portly man
fell from the third floor window of a
building close by. He struck the
Broadway sidewalk on his head and
was carried into the same drug store
where he died in a few minutes. The
unfortunate was a rubber stamp man
ufacturer who lived in the building
from the street where he aided the dy-
ing messenger, he had determined to
clean the windows and lost his bal
ance. His wife, in another room learn
ed of the accident, through the wild
screams of a parrot, which hanging
by the window saw its master fall to
his death.

of the most interesting events in Kan

The washington Post says:
"A few days ago I witnessed in your
house of representatives an incident
that gave. me no small amount of pleas
ure, and I forthwith wrote about it to
my home paper" said Mr.. George
Granger, a well-to-do business man Of
Liverpool England, at the Raleigh.

speaker called upon one of the younger
looking members to take the chair

tries, and it has for years been a sort Of
hobby of mine to listen to parliamentary
doings of the various la.Wmaking bodies
1t was with some interest, therefore,
that watched this young man take the
gavel, for I guessed that, being a
neOphyte, he would betray a certain
amount of aWkwardness or at least ex-
hibit some hesitation and nervousness
Not a bit of it. On the contrary, he
went to work as If presiding over great
assemblages had been his chief voca-
ton in life. Not in the house of lords
nor in the commons, nor in the French,
German, or italian parliaments did /
ever see a veteran presiding officer who
Showed more skilled knowledge, more
dignity, or address. I learned afterward
that the name of the gentleman was
Campbell, and that he halls from the
state of Kansas, and the minute I heard
his name I said, oh, hoi he has Scoth
blood in him, and that accounts for his

BOMB FOR KING.
Attempt Made on Life of Al
fOnsO of Spain,
During a Visit to an Exposition
at Barcelona.
TWO PEASANTS HURT.
One Person Arrested on Suspi-
ciOn by Police.
News Makes a Deep Impression
at Rome.
TWO PEASANTS HURT

Madrid, April An official tele-
gram from Barcelona states that as
King Alfonso was leaving the exhibit
ton "pelard" exploded, injuring two
peasants. One arrest was made.
Excitement at Rome.
Rome, April THE news of the at
tempt on the life of King Alfonso by
the explosion of a bomb as he was
leaving the exhibition at Barcelona
produced the deepest impression here,
especially among the members of the
Spanish colony of Rome, which is
quite numerous. King Victor En-
manuel learned the news while pre-
siding at his weekly conference with
the cabinet minister's, and he imme-
diately personally telegraphed to the
Spanish king his Warmest congratula-
lions on his escape.
The papaI secretary of state, Car
dinal Merry Del Val, when informed
Of the attempt fastened with the
news to the pope, who exclaimed:
Poor misguided souls. There is no
excuse for their crime
The pope then instructed the papal
secretary to telegraph the pontiff's
congratulations to King Alfonso on
his escape.
Censorship Delays News.
London, April THE Spanish en-
bassy here has not received any infor-
1udtAC1 III 1SSdAQ 70 the dllGIlDL ulaQG
upon the life of King Alfonso at BARGE
Iona. Dispatches from Madrid and
Barcelona are anxiously awaited but
owing to the strict censorship in Spain,
especially in the case Of such events as
the one reported from Barcelona, some
time may elapse before details of the
attack are received here
So far nothing has been received here
beyond the Madrid dispatch announcing
that an official telegram had been re-
ceived there from Barcelona saying that
as King Alfonso was leaving the exhi-
bit1on at Barcelona a bomb was ex-
ploded, two peasants were injured and
one individual was arrested.
King Alfonso arrived at Barcelona
yesterday for a fortnight's visit to Cat
alonia. He was accompanied by Pre-
mier Maura and War Minister Linares
and 4 numerous suite. The visit of
the king to Barcelona. which is the
hotbed OF repubHcanism, caused the
greatest disquiet in Spain official quar-
tiers, as it was feared the republicans
and socialists would vent on the king
their hatred of the premier, whose
strong measures in dealing with the
strike rioters had made him very un-
popular. AS a preventive measure
large numbers of anarchists and other
suspects were arrested last week and
a cruiser, three gunboats and a large
force of gendarmes were sent to Bar
celona.
The Spanish king was accorded a. re-
Spectfu1 reception at Barcelona and
shortly after his arrival attended a
te deum at the cathedral The streets
were decorated with flags and lined
by enormous crowds of people
It was estimated that there were
10000 persons on the streets and the
pressure was so great that the cordons
of troops and police were repeatedly
broken by the people who were anxious
to see their monarch and the king was
thus separated from his attendants.

China on Verge of War.
New York. April 7.-Reports are said
to have reached an ambassador here,
says a Herald dispatch from Berlin, to
the effect that China is on the verge of
throwing in her lot with Japan. The
first defeat on land for Russia, will, it
is asserted, be the signal for forward
movement on the part of the Celestial
empire. Japan, the correspondent adds,
shows no anxiety for help, realizing
that China's intervention may cause
more embarrassment than proht.
Panic at Possiet Bay.
Shanghai, April Tt has been
learned here that the Russians have
planted submarine mines off the coast
of Takushan. about so miles west of
the mouth of the Yalu river, as well
as in the estuary of the Yalu.
The Japanese army in Korea has
now reached the south bank of the
YaIu river at different points.
Refugees who have arrived here
from Korea assert that the fear that
the Japanese may land at Possiet bay,
in Manchuria and about SIS miles
southwest of Vladivostok, is causing a
general exodus inland. Even the Rus
sian garrisons in that locality are re-
treating, leaving only small outposts
behind them.

Wichita, April THE Democratic

porary Organization. This became an
parent when the Hearst crowd We're
whipped in the state committee and
laid down in the contest to control the
committee in its recommendations con-
corning the temporary organization.
The Hearst crowd selected Judge A.
NJ. Jackson, of Winfield, former con-
gresham from the Third district,
the Hearst candidate for temporary
which was for an uninstructed dele
cation to the st. Louis convention,
picked Claude Duval of Hutchinson.
Duval was defeated in his home
vention, and this furnished ammuni-
ton to the Hearst people to fight him,
but the anti-Hearst crowd controlled
the state committee.
Anti-Hearst Victory.
Hugh FarrelIy, chairman of the COM
mittee who is for Hearst, said that if
the entire committee had been present
it would have been close between sDu-
val and Jackson, but a dozen or more
proxies showed up in the committee
the parlors of the Carey last night,
and the proxies were nearly all held
by anti-Hearst men,
The Hearst men discovered before
the committee meeting that they were
beaten and they laid down. J. W. Orr
of Atchison, ]. Mack Love of Arkansas
City. and J. N. Fike, of Colby, ran
things for the anti-Hearst crowd,
while the other people, with Farrelly
in the chair, were more deficient in
leadership.
Fike first moved that the roll be
called and each member of the COM
mittee express his preference for
chairman. Henry Block of syria cuse,
tried to amend by having nominating
speeches made first, but the anti
Hearst people were against speeches
and the amendment was lost by a vote
of II to IL
Hearst Men Didn't Vote.
Few of the Hearst men voted for
temporary chairman at all, so that the
vote stood "a for Duval and only for

Hearst boomer, asked if Duval was an

Orr.

man Farrelly on their side and they
believed they had a show to win.
The anti-Hearst crowd, on the other
hand, claimed to have counted noses
in the convention, but they admitted
that it might be even closer.
Charles N1cCrum, secretary of the
state COMMITTEES was recommended
for temporary secretary, and B. =.
