Washington, May 25.-Secretary Root
is having made a careful study of the
respective claim of England against
America and America. against England
with a view to mutual adjustment If
that is possible. AS he told the senate
committee on foreign relations last
Wednesday he believes that without re-
sorting to the cumbersome machinery
of a high joint commission or even
framing a treaty which would have to
be urged through the senate, the matter
might be arranged by direct negotiation
and a balance struck and paid in cash
by the party found to have the best of
the claims.
Because the executive has no control
power to bind the legislative branch OF
our government which alone can appro-
pirate the money necessary to meet ana
pay off an adverse balance it is proba-
BILE that the agreement between the ne
gotiators must provide that the judg-
ments reached shall be subject to the
approval Of the congress here and OF
parliament in England.
The obstacle in the way of a COM
paratively easy agreement upon pro-
gram of negotiation of these claims is
the famous Frederick Gearing case,

can. paid the penalty Of their crimes by
hanging at 10 a. m today.
Sheriff LittreIl led Medlock to the
scaffold at 1915 and the trap was

to the scahold accompanied by Father
Cooney, the Catholic priest, and at 1888
a. m. the trap was sprung and Arguello
paid the penalty Of his crime.
The crime for which Medlock was
hung was for killing of Carrie Boyd,
his common law wife, by shooting. He
fed to the Indian Territory, where he
attempted to kill another woman and
for this crime he served three years N
the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan.
ArgueIo was sent to the gallows for

Arguello was wanted at Bowen. Colo,
for the murder of Mrs. Celia Dussart.

Future Queen of Spain Is
Welcomed.
Receives a Tremendous Ovation
at Frontier.
ALFONSO Is THERE.
Special Train Arrives at About
Sunrise.
King Introduces Ministers to
His Fiancee.

Irun. Spain, May 25.-King Alfonso
greeted his bride, Princess Ena of
Battenberg. as she entered Spain in
the early hours of the morning
amidst an enthusiastic popular well
come and the homage of the Spanish
ministry.
The special train bearing the prin-
cess reached the frontier shortly after
sunrise. The morning mists still hung
over the river Biddisoa, separating
France from Spain. as the train
reached the center of the bridge and
the Spanish fortresses belched a well
coming salute OF 21 guns from the
heights of Pena De Aya, commanding g
the frontier At the same time regi-
ments of carbineers and ancient Sicil-
ian guards were massed on the foot
ways of the pier and with trumpets
and banners saluted the brides en-
trance into the kingdom, while the
bands played alternately the British
and Spanish national hymns.
In the meantime King Alfonso, in
the uniform of a field marshal, and
surrounded by the ministers of the
crown, the court chamberlains and
the military and civil authorities,
awaited the princess at the railroad
station, which was sumptuously deco
rated WIN a moral aIcn, cafpeL6Q with
red velvet and hung with the royal
banners and other insignia. Scores of
noble ladies of San Sebastian, with
their little daughters daintily cos
tuned in white, bore bouquets and
garlands for the princess. Premier
Moret directed the governor general
TO admit the public to the platform
and to give the public every facility
to see their future queen.
The meeting of the king and the
princess, although a ceremonious state
function was none the less marked by
the unaffected joy and cordiality of
the young monarch. The king present
ed his ministers, who officially vel
coined the bride to Spanish soil and
she graciously Acknowledged the Off
cial solutions. But the spontaneous
enthusiasm of the people seemed to
give greater satisfaction to the king
who conducted the party to the royal
train where the princess was installed
IN luxurious coach which had been
transformed into veritable bower of
red and white roses.
At SIS a. m, amid continued salvos
from the fort and the cheers Of the
people the train left Irun for Fadrid.
The peasantry lined the tracks and
packed the stations along the line, Civ
ing the young couple a continuous ova-
ton.
