Decides They Shall Not

City Council Holds Meeting and
Attends to Municipal Affairs.
Secret Session Held.


NIayor Har1ner indicated the
Telegram in its stand on the pro-
posaI to sell the city's fine team OF
horses used on street work, when
he decided a tie vote of the city
council in executive session in favor
of keeping the team, Friday night.
The matter was thrashed out thor
oughly in the secret session and
there was some lively talk on what
to do and what not to do, led prin-
cipaIly by Mr. McAndrew.
Besides deciding the important
horse question council reconsidered
and repassed the telegraph line
franchise ordinance for the Eureka
Pipe Line Company, reducing the
annual tax on poles from $500 to so
cents each, and attended to lot of

city was granted at the last regu--
lar meeting of the council, appeared
before the body and said that the
measure was not acceptable to the
company. They said the line was
to be for private use and though 1t
would be a common carrier they
would not seek public business. 1t
was suggested that reduction of
the annual tax of $1.OO pole would
make the franchise acceptable.
Mr.. Wood moved to reconsider
the ordinance and the motion car
ried. Mr.. Hess moved to reduce |
the tax to IS cents a pole, but Mr..
McAndrew offered an amendment |
fixing the rate at so cents. The
was carried. Mr..
Wood then offered an amendment

taken on the ordinance as amended
and it was passed unanimously.

of third of a century ago demands
ed that all government and private
debts be paid in deprecated cur
rency, except in the cases in wAicn
specie was expressly named in the
contract, the Republican party, by
an act passed against the solid OPP
position Of the Democracy, and sign
ed by president Grant on Jan. IA,
1875, brought all the country's cur
rency up to the gold line. And the
party has held the currency up to
that level ever since, despite the as
saults which have been made by
radicalism in various guises, sup
ported by the Democratic party. The
resumption act of 1878, by warding
off greenback initiation, saved bill
lions Of dollars to the property and
business interests of the country.
PopuIism in 1S9O-92, by its re-
newal of the war in favor of unlim-
tied national currency and its de-
mand for the issue of notes against
the deposit of agricultural products,
attempted to resuscitate the green
backism of two decades earlier, plus
the addition of a few new fads and
follies. The Republican party Ill
timately overthrow populism.
The war against property, bust
ness, and financial sanity was re-
newed in another form in 1896,
when the Chicago convention, in
July, with its fifty-cent silver-dol-
lar propaganda, assailed the Repub-
lican demand at the st. Louis con-
vention IN June for a gold dollar
worth 100 cents. Again the Repub-
lican party was triumphant. By
the Republican victory at the polls
in 1896, by the Republican gold
standard act of March IL, 1900, and
by the Republican triumph in the
election in November of that year,
the 1OO-cent dollar was written in
the statutes so firmly and so decis-
ivelv that Alton b. Parker, the Dem
ocratic candidate in 1904, declared
that Republican legislation had
protected business and property
against further danger from the
currency dilutionists.
Radical1sm took a peculiarly men-
acing shape in the attacks made on
the property-owners and the bust
ness interests of the greenbackers,
the populists, and the silverite. The
success of the silverite crusade Of
1896 would have cut the 100000 |
100000 of property of the country
down to $4,000, 100000. From
this policy of wholesale robbery the
people we're saved by the Republican
party.
A newand particularly dangerous
sort of,Fadicalism presents itself to-
day in the Government ownership of
the great private and corporate in
terests which is being urged by ele-
ments that are reasonably sure to be
powerful enough to control the
Democratic party rs firmly in 1908
as the siIveritc ffty-cent-dollar
champions swayed that party in
1896 and 1900. Against this pol
icy of confiscation the Republicans

BOMB FOR SPANISH KING.
An Attempt was Made to Kill Al
fonso and His Bride.
Sixteen Persons Were Killed and
Others Injured-A Narrow Escape
for the Royal Pair.

Madrid, June 1.-The public rejoic-
ings over the marriage of King Al
fonso and Princess Victoria had ter
rible dramatic sequel at 2:30 o'clock
Thursday afternoon as bomb thrown
from an upper window exploded with
deadly effect near the coach occupied
by the king and queen. Providentially
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria es-
capped when an electric wire detected
the bomb, but at least 16 persons, most
Of them belonging to the personal
and military escorts, were killed. Many
others were injured
One royal groom, who was leading
one Of the horses drawing the coach
carrying the king and queen was
killed. Several of those killed were
standing on the balcony of the house
from which the bomb was thrown.
The scene in the vicinity of the ex-
posion was horrible. AS the NUM-
cipal guards hastily improvised litters
to bear off the mangled corpses, dense
crowds pressed in upon them, causing
indescribable confusion. Soldiers oc-
cupied all the streets leading to the
locality, making it almost impossible
to reach the spot from distance.
However, the Associated press cores
pendent was on the scene soon after
the explosion and received an account
of the affair from the Duke of Vera
qua and Col Rafael de Chague, the
officers who assisted Queen Victoria
as she lighted from her coach to take
another.
The bomb was thrown from above,
striking the ground and exploding not
far from the royal carriage. One OF
the soldiers of the kings escort and
two soldiers were killed, and one OF
the horses drawing the royal coach
was killed, while the injured num-
bered scores. The bodies of many per-
sons were terribly torn by the force
of the explosion.
The news of the attempted assasina-
ton spread throughout the city with
great rapidity, turning the rejoicings
of the people to awe. The telegraph
offices were invaded by struggling
masses. but a rigid censorship was
instituted.

most charming, and graciously ac

most charming, and graciously ac'
knowledged the continued ovations.
The interior of the church presented
a scene of rare beauty as the royal
couple entered. The great arches and
naves, usually sombre, were lighted
up by thousands of electric lights
which lined the cornices and framed
the marble altar with an aureole OF
light. At the left of the altar arose
throne upon a dais, over which hung
majestic canopy Of light silk, ex-
quisitely wrought with gold embroider
les. At the back of the throne famed
the arms of Spain.
AS the royal couple entered the as
semblage arose and 200 choristers in
toned professional hymn. The king
looked calm, happy and slightly pale,
as usual Across the breast of his
field marshal's uniform was the blue
and white sash of the Order of Charles
III and on his breast sparkled the
orders of the garter and of the golden
fleece.
The bride entered with her mother,
brother and Queen Christina, the sill
vered embroidery of her wedding dress
being reflected by the myriad of lights
until the bride seemed to be robed in
jewels. Her veil, slightly drawn aside,
revealed her clear, fine features with
cheeks full of youthful color.
The king advanced to meet the bride
and they stood together as the mar
riage service began. The ceremony
was performed with all the impress
siveness of the Roman ritual, Cardinal
Sancha, Archbishop of Toledo, robed
in crimson silk, officiating assisted by
a special nuncio of the pope and the
highest dignitaries of the church, with
scores of acolytes and incense burners.
The ceremony which lasted nearly an
hour terminated with the nuncio pro-
nouncing the popes benidiction on the
newly married couple and the chanting
of the tie deum.
AS the king and Princess Victoria
were pronounced man and wife the
news was signalled to the waiting
crowds and all Madrid broke into
frantic demonstrations of joy, while
cannon doomed and church bells
chimed.
Entering the royal coach the king
and queen of Spain returned to the
palace amid scenes of the widest en-
thusiasm, the throngs shouting Long
live Queen Victoria"

DECIDED AGAINST SMOOT.
The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections Votes to Unseat
the Utah Member.

Washington, June 2.-That Reed
Smoot is not entitled to his seat in
the United States senate as senator
from Utah was the decision of the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tons, declared Friday by vote OF
seven to five.
The decision was on Senator Du-
bois' resolution offered at the meeting
two weeks ago, which was carried by
Senator'S Burrows, Dolliver, Pettus,
Overman, Bailey and Dubois and Fra
zier voting in the affirmative and
Senators Foraker, Dillingham;, Hop
kins, Beveridge and Knox in the mega
tive. The vote of Senator Depew was
not cast Votes were had on the con-
stitutional questions of expulsion and
exclusion, after which the members
of the committee expressed themselves
in favor of q vote in the senate at the
present session Of congress.
The effect of the resolution adopted
will be to place squarely before the
senate the question whether Senator
Smoot shall continue in his seat and
leave to that body the decision as to
the method of procedure. A majority,
it is said, can declare that it is the
sense of the senate that Senator Smoot
be excluded and under the form of
the resolution proceed to unseat him
by that method.
Chairman Burrows, who will draft
the report, is of the opinion as is also
Senator Dubois, who has directed the
fight against the Utah senator, that
the senate can decide for itself the
rocedure and that II majority says
to exclude, instead of expel. that will
lie the method pursued. The report
under the instructions Of the commit
tee will be ready to be offered to the
senate on next Friday. Chairman
Burrows and Senator Dubois express
themselves as confident that vote
will be had at the present session.
