coal trade and enabled their German
and other rivals TO displaee British
coal Mr.. Chamberlain, in reply,
lengthily. compared the arguments of
the petitioners with the facts in his
possession. and concluded with denying
that there was any reason for the alb

PALACE WHEN He WAS ATTACKED
The weuId-Be Assassin Was Armed
with a Dagger, Hut Only Sue

Arm-The Premier Has Incurred
untred of Socialists.

Barcelona, April 13.-Senor Maura,
the Spanish premier, narrowly escaped
death at the hands of an assassin. The
premier was leaving the palace of the
eoupcil-general when met by his as
sailant. fourishing a dagger. Senior
Naura threw up his arm in time to
save his body, but received a severe
slash in the arm. The would-be as
sassln was captured.
This is the third outrage committed
IN Baeelona within a week. The first
was the demonstration against Premier
Maura when he was leaving the the
alter with Alfonso. The second was an
attempt on the life of the king. BARGE
Iona is notorious "hotbed" of So
cialism. and the kings recent visit
there was undertaken despite the ad-
vice of the ministry, which feared the
hatred of the people of Barcelona to-
ward Premier Maura would vent Itself
on the king.
Maura incurred the hatred of these
people by his rigorous method of deal
ing with the strikers during the recent
labor troubles in Spain.
After the attempt against Alfonso
unusual precautions were taken TO
guard the king and premier The cit
liens then Quilted down and seemed de-
termined to show strong loyalty to
their sovereign King Alfonso left Bar
celona for short visit, returning last
Saturday with Maura. The renewal
of the outrage seems to indicate that
the people are determined to Go
away with the present premier.
