Madrid, May 24.-This city is fast as
suming an aspect of feverish expect
ancy as the day for the royal nuptials
approaches. King Alfonso's departure
for the frontier to-day to meet his bride
was the first event of the elaborate Of
fetal programme.
The Puerto Del Sol and other centers
present a scene of intense animation
tonight, with crowds of provincials In
picturesque costumes. Throughout the
day the streets were filed with arriv-
ing troops, sailors and marines, with
bands and banners, coming to greet the
royal couple. Among the arrivals were
one thousand sailors from warships at
Cartagena, who were accorded an en-
thusiastic reception as they swung
through the main fhoroughfares, which
showed that the Spaniards still glory
in their navy.
The king this morning drove to the
railroad station in an open coach seat
ed beside the queen mother and sur
rounded by retinue of court Chamber
lains. His majesty wore the blue uni-
form of field marshal with broad.
red sash and white military cap topped
| by waving pluMes. He smiled aSniahy
as he saluted his enthusiastic subjects.
The royal train was sumptuously APP
pointed. The car in which Princess
Ena will be received was stEewn with
white roses, lilies and chrysanthemuns.
A large number of ministers and q
glittering array of military officers ac-
companied the royal party to the FROM
tier. The track was lined BY soldiers,
and the crowds of country folk gath
cred at the stations and gave ovations
to the king.
The Spaniards seem to have entered

INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET

COrneII--Weeding Out Process Begins
To-day.
Boston, May 24.-After a season
marked by an unusual number of dual
meets, the climax in the track and
field athletics in the eastern colleges
will come tomorrow and Saturday
when the thirtieth championship meet
of the Intercollegiate association of
amateur athletes Of America will be
held in the Harvard Stadium. That
this meeting seems destined to be the
greatest in the history of the organ
ization is indicated by the record
breaking list Of nearly 800 men, who
represent all of the large universities
and colleges in the east, and the splen-
did performances which have been
made in the numerous games this
spring. New intercollegiate records
are looked for in more than one event,
But what adds so much interest to
this meet is the fact that four of the
larger universities will enter 1t prac-
tically on even terms, and each will
have fair assurance Of success. These
are Harvard, Yale Pennsylvania and
Cornell. Every one of those institu-
tions expect to win, and the contest
Is sure to be sensational,
And what makes the victory the more
uncertain is the fact that the small col
leges, several Of which are extremely
strong this year, are tlmost sure 10 cu'
into the points Of the leaders.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
team which is hardest hit by the small
er colleges is bound to lose. This is one
of the features which lends interest anf
excitement to the meet.
For the past fifteen years the size o.
the field has made 1t necessary to ex
tend the meet over two days, and to-
morrow will be devoted entirely to tn
''weednlg-out" process, leaving TN
finals for Saturday.

FREE ALCOHOL BILL PASSED
NOT MATERIALLY CHANGED BIZ
SENATE AMENDMENTS

Measure Goes Into Effect the First of
Next Year-Time Extended to That
Date as 1t VIII Greatly Injure the
business of the Wood Alcohol Manu-
facturers-Time to Adjust Them
selves to Change.
washington, May 24-The senate to-
dav nassed the so-called free alcohol
bill as II was reported from the com
mittee on finance. The bill has already
passed the house and the amendments,
which the senate has adopted do not
materially change its scope, 1t does
not 60 into effect until January !, 1907
There was some debate on the meas
ure and the Necessity for the amend
ments was explained. The bill was
passed without division.
When the bill was taken up Senator
Aldrich said it would greatly in1ure
the business Of the wood alcohol man
ufacturers and gave this as one OF the
reasons why the date for the bill to
go into effect had been extended until
January next
Senator McCumber argued that the
interests of the consumers are q hun
dred times greater than those of the
manufacturers, and that they should be
preferred. He therefore moved the res
toration of the date fixed by the house
bill carrying it into effect three months
after its passage.
Senator Aldrich said the wood alco-
hol manufacturers have capital
amounting to $sO,O0o,0O0 to $600oO,OOc
| invested in their business and said that
fair dealing required that they should
have time to adjust themselves to the
new conditions, In some places In New
York. Pennsylvania and other states
entire communities would be wiped out
by the proposed legislation and he con
tended that they should have consider.
alton.
Senator Teller supported the date Ak
ed by the senate committee saying thai
in all tariff legislation consideration il
given to protection Of interests affected
by the changes. He advocated the
passage of the bill.
Replying to a question, Mr., Aldricl
said that most of the refining is done
by one company, but that so far as HI
knew that company is not trust. H,
added that it is not connected with tn,
Standard OIL company.
Senator Allison said he did not be
lieve that istillers generally would TAX
advantage of the opportunity to manu-
facture denatured alcohol as providet
by the bill.
Senator Hale agreed with other sen
ators that there is liable to be disap
pointment over the effects of the bill
but expressed the hope that 1T woul
prove beneficial to the manufacturin
interests.
The only amendment made to the bi
was one providing that the denaturali
zation provided for shall be done upo
the application of any registered dis
tillery in denaturalizing bonded ware
houses, especially designated or sc
apart for denaturalizing purposes.
Mr.. McCumber withdrew his amend
ment and the bill was passed.
