KING PREDICTS ANOTHER BOMB.
Spanish Monarch Says He Will BE
Victim.

t1ct1Nn.
That. King Alfonso fully expects to be
the victim of an assassin is indicated by
his statement to +. w. Whitridge, the
American envoy to the royal wedding.
Referring to the bomb explosion the King
said:
Eyes, fortunately, it was unsuccessful :;
but it will come again. 1t may be any
time, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps within
a month, perhaps within a year-but it
will come"
AS the King made this statement at
the palace he shrugged his shoulders and
his face wore a look of calm resignation
as he gave this forecast of the future.
Although he bore himself splendidly
throughout the terrible experience, the
courtiers witnessed a trying scene as
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria hur-
ried within the castle after the attempt
was made to assassinate them. For a
moment Alfonso's nerves were completely
unstrung and, turning to Queen Victoria,
her dress spattered with blood, he ex-
claimed:
"Why did 1 bring you to this country?
1t was wrong; you never should have
come here"

The earthquake and the fire revealed
TO the shuddering. world the depth Of
the infamy that had found Judgment
there. Thirty thousand Chinese inhab-
tied this unsavory quarter, ten city
blocks, only six squares from what
was known as Newspaper corner. They
had converted the frame buildings
which covered the district into plague
spots. In which they lived the strange,
discordant lives of the Oriental lower
classes. Their daily walk was fash

those of the West. and they gave allie

So far ten States have declined thA
invitation sent out by Assistant Secre-
tary Oliver, of the War Department, to
send some Of their national guard or
CARNATIONS into camp with the regular
troops his summer. Colorado has de-
clined because the guard is too much
scattered about the State to admit of
easy concentration The approaching
trials for murder of the labor leaders
in Idaho have made it prudent for the
authorities to retain the entire force of
militia within the limits of the State
ready for any uprising against the legal
authorities. Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets and Ohio already have planned to
have their entire national guard go in
to large State camps, and are unwill-
ing to go to the expense of another
camp, in doing which the State author
tiles are meeting exactly the sugges-
tons of the War Department, which is
going to be taxed to the utmost to make
the expected appropriation of 100000
meet all the expenses of the combined
camps. California reports that the eX-
p%erience of the State troops in guarding
San Francisco and other places deyaS-
tated by earthquake and fire and the
expense to which the State has been put
makes it inexpedient to join In the reg
ular camping. South Dakota reports
that the national guard is not equipped
or uniformed for Il season in camp.

"A merry war is on in the House be-
tween two deserving measures, which
may result in preventing the consider
alton of both at this session. The pure
food bill, which passed the Senate, and
the immigration bill, which has not
been considered in the Senate, occupy
the same position upon the House cal
endar. These two measures, with this
naturalization bill, are in form for con-
sideration whenever the Speaker gives
his consent and when appropriation
bills are not claiming the floor. Some
of the leading supporters OF h immi-
grafton bill oppose the passage of the
pure food bill. To prevent Its consid-
GRAFTON NJ this session they are work
ing to have the immigration bill given
preference. They believe they can M
complish the double purpose OF tenn.

and are the only bona fide films in ex-
istence. Walter r. Seymour, who at
the time of the disaster was the leading
member of the Bishop stock company
playing at the Central theater, gives a
graphic and interesting explanation of
the various views as they appear on the
screen.
The exhibition begins with views of
the principal streets and buildings as
they appeared five days before the ca
lamity. You are shown the magnifi-
cent city hall, with its lofty tower
which cost $7,0OO,OO0 to build; the Pal
ace hotel, the Call and Chronicle build
ings, and all down Market street to the
Ferry house, besides many other beau
tiful views Of Mob 4ill and Golden
Gate park.
The pictures showing the vast de-
struction of Frisco were taken under
great difficulty and show block after
block of strewn wreckage and burning
buildings. Thousands upon thousands
of refugees are seen making their way
to such places of shelter as the wrecked
city affords. Besides the interesting
views, Mr.. Seymour who was an eye
witness, tells Of his and others harrow
ing experiences while in the doomed
city.
The pictures will be shown this after
noon and evening" and everybody
should take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity to see the only original pictures
of the worst calamity which has ever
befallen any city in the history of the
world.

ITALIAN IS HELD.
CHAFFL SUSPECTED OF DOING
THE STABBING ACT.

Held Under $4,000 BOnds--Rowan Like
ly to Recover Police Think That In
jured Man and HIS Companions
Started the Fracas.
Gabriel Chaffi, an italian, was before
the city court yesterday morning on
charges of carrying concealed weapons
and a general breach of the peace. He
is believed by the police to be implicat-
ed in the stabbing of Thomas Rowan
early Sunday morning.
The carrying concealed weapon
charge against Chaffi alleges that he
had stiletto in his pocket, and as both
cases were continued until May q a
bond Of 5000 was fixed by Judge Tyner
on the concealed weapon charge, while
the bond on the breach of the peace
charge was reduced, on motion of At
torney Sullivan, who appeared for the
man, from $4,000 to $4,000.
The police are inclined to believe that
Rowan and his companions started the
trouble which resulted in the stabbing.
The affair occurred on Wooster street,
and, according to the injured man, was
done without the slightest provocation.
The man who did the deed was accom-
panied by two companions.
AS a result of the general alarm which
was sent out by the police Immediately
after the stabbing, officer Simon STREET.,
the Union depot policeman, started on
a lookout for the men. Early in the
morning he saw three Italians acting
suspiciously and appearing to be ner-
vous and excited. One of these men
was Chaffi and the officer placed him
under arrest, although the other two
men were able to escape and at pres
ent the police have no idea who they
were.
ChafH lives at 2S6 Washington avenue
and he answers the general description
of the assailant, In addition to this he
had wicked-looking homemade still
etto with blade five or six inches
long. The blade was very narrow and
sharp.
la was stated at Grace hospital yes
terday afternoon that Rowan, the vic
tim, was still alive, and that there was
a chance for his recovery.
