A BOMB FOR ALFONSO.
Spanish King and Bride Have Narrow
Escape From Assassination. :.

MADRID, May 31.-The public re.
loicings over the marriage of King
Alfonso and Princess Victoria had q
terribly dramatic sequel at 2:30 o'clock
this 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
csc aped when an electric wire de.
flected the bomb, but at least 16 per.
sons, most of them belonging to the
personal military escort, were killed.
The explosion occurred just 40 the
royal couple were about to enter the
palace. The route Of the procession
had been diverted from Arsenal street
to Mayor street, owing to the popular
desire. The procession had just
passed through Mayor street and was
about to turn into the esplanade lead.

The royal coach was brought to q

soldiers of the escort falling to the
ground. The screams of the terrified
multitude mingled with the groans of
the dying. It was Immediately seen
that the royal coach was intact, ex.

entered another coach and were driven
swiftly to the palace.
The bomb, which was concealed in a
bouquet of flowers, was OF polished
steel. It was thrown from third.
story window. The house, according
to some reports, belongs to the queen
mother, having been bequeathed to her
by philanthropist, and is the only
house she owns in Madrid. The place
from which the bomb was thrown Is q

CASSATT'S STATEMENT.
Says That the Pennsylvania Railroad Hos
Not Shown FavOritism.

PHILADELPHIA, June IA. J. Cas-. |
satt, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. arrived at his
home at Haverford, Pa, a suburb OF
thia city, from Europe about noon to-
day. He will be at his office in Phila.
delphia Tomorrow morning.
This evening Mr.. Csssatt gave to
the Associated Press q statement. He
said he had returned home to take
part in the investig cation, by the board
of directors of the Pennsylvania Rail.
road company, into the matters that
had been disclosed during his absence
In the proceedings before the inter.
state commerce commission. He had
received only brief cable reports from
the Office OF the company and knew
nothing of the details, but from these
reports and from cables to the London
press, he had learned that charges
had been made against certain officials
of the acceptance of bribes from coal
operators. The board would investi-
gate all such charges exhaustively,
and If any officer or employe should
be found guilty of corrupt practices,
he would be summarily dealt with.
Referring to the testimony Of certain
officers, that they held stocks of coal
companies, and to the inference drawn
by the newspapers, that favoritism
and discrimination on q large scale
had been practiced for the benefit OF
the companies whose stocks were thus
held, Mr.. Cassatt said that, while
such ownership, by such officials In a
position to exercise favoritism and
therefore liable to suspicion. was no
doubt inadvisable and unfortunate, II
was not an otfense in itself, If the
stocks were properly acquired, and it
was not contrary to the bylaws of the
company: in fact, the management
had, in the early years of the COM
pany, encouraged the officers to aid
the development of industries along
its lines.
The wrong, ii any had been done,
was in the alleged favoritism. There
could be no favoritism in rates, as
shippers of coal and all other freights
were on an absolute equality; all paid
the full tariff rates without rebate
Mr.. Cassatt made himsel: personally
responsible for the absolute correct
ness of this statement.
If there was any discrimination II
could only be in the distribution OF
empty coal cars, and SO far as he
knew, no proof had been produced
that the officers concerned had been
guilty OF such fovoritism. The board
would, however. also inquire careful
ly into these matters, and If there had
been any wrong doing, would take
proper action, but it would not sacri
flee faithful and efficient officers to 8
manufactured and 4 mistaken public
opinion.
The company had in It's employ ovel
15O, 900 men, who, In character, eff
cheney, and devotion to the interests
had. in their respective spheres, NJ
superiors anywhere. The manage
ment had in the past shown itself en-
titled to the confidence OF the pubii
and it should be trusted now to dea
properly with the present situation.
