today by the police authorities of half
dozen countries WI are examining the
Spanish anarchist Canatrsvs, in an ef-

plot against the life of King Alfonso of
Spain. 1t was disclosed that papers were
found on two Italian anarchist arrested

tanning confirmation of RoosevePs AT
rican trip. The authorities are convinced
that Roosevelt Is being considered as
ft subject for an anarchist attack.
The sweating process is expected to
expose the plan of one OF the terrorist
uprisings Europe he's ever seen.
They are trying to connect his move
ments with tue mysterious departure OF
sixteen German anarchists from Berlin
to Hungry and the meeting of $50
Italian anarchists Wednesday at Sesss.
Two of this latter group were the ones
who had the dstS concerning Roosevelps

thorough effort Is being made to
Obtain further e,i ience against them.
The papers found on these two con-

lice officials all over Europe suspect that
a concerted uprising is well under way.
The pltt against Alfonso's life W 8 timed

A CORRESPONDENT of one of the Bal
tlmors republican newspapers writing
from Richmond, alleges that the demo-
cratic majority in this state next No
vember will be materially reduced. AS
viewed through his spectacles, there is
considerable apathy among members OF
the party, while many, he says, will
support TAFT. His observations, how
ever, seem TO have been over a limited
area. He met a barber, lawyer, q
planter and a negro banker who an
noanced thai they would support the
republican ticket. To suppose that such
straws show from which quarter the
wind is to blow is as ridiculous as the
assumptions Of the tiilors of Tooley street
when they resolved that they were the
people Of England. The correspondent
referred to seems 10 have obtained his
impressions in hotel lobby, where
miscellaneous crowds gather. This class
in no wise represents the people of Vir-
0inia.

that Senator Nelson w. Aldrich was 10
the same boat.
He d, clsred that Aldrich and Cannon
had syndicstsd the American government
and that Foraker is mere victim OF cir
cumstsnces In beirg "csugbt with tue
goods on him." He says the real cul-
prit is the republican party, and that
F,raker "should not be slaughtered
upon the altar of the party necessity"

Gauge B. Cox, Of Cincinnati, as a hor-
rible example of machine rule, aud that
he held Foraker 10 reserve as his next
victim. Yet, when forced into corner
