Franco Remains Hidden.

Intense interest IS shown in Fran
cos whereabouts. The drama CEN
tiers about him. but he remains in Sc
clusiOn, seemingly crushed in spirit.
He declines to see correspondents to
offer a defense of his policy and ex-
plain his downfall or his decision to
retire completely from the political
arena. His elimination is regretted
by the commercial classes and for
eign elements who are convinced that
his sole object was the good Of the
country.
The young king himself believed in
Franco. The day after the tragedy,
while unbosoming himself to a life
long friend, he said: 81 intend to re-
tain Franco. He was my fathers
friend and shall be mine"
Queen Disagreed with Premier.
1t is we'll known, however, that the
dowager queen has always been hos
tile to the former premier, and latter
ly Queen Amelie shared the view that
the dictatorship had been carried too
far. She is said to have remonstrat-
ed with him that il might end in a
tragedy and invoked him in behalf OF
a milder course in memory of what
her own family had suffered in France.
On the day of the assassinations,
amidst the confusion of that memoir
able scene in the arsenal quadrangle,
where the royal carriage took refuge,
when beside herself with grief, she
turned upon Franco and cried: That
is what our work has done"
King Like His Father.
The reconciliation of these two ut
terances with the influences represent
ed is believed to furnish the true key
20 the secret of Frances downfall.
The young sovereign's personality
is described by those who know him
as very winning. AS a lad he dis
played fine manly traits. He had on
siderable artistic talent, and especial
ly for music and, like his father, was
exceedingly fOnd of outdoor sports,
such as tennis, riding and shooting.
He was reared with great care by the
devoted queen, who took the warmest
interest in the education of the
princes, both of whom speak English,
French, Spanish AND italian perfectly.

TILLMAN APPEARS
ON SENATE FLOOR
Colleagues Flock to His Seat 70
Congratulate Him on His
Recovery.

Senator Tillman OF South Carolina sur
prised the whole Senate this afternoon
by walking into the chamber about
o'clock, without any assistance, and
taking his accustomed seat, He has been
sick with nervous trouble for some
weeks and came to Washington a few
days ago to spend a few days in a sani-
tOrtum, before going to Boston to catch
a steamer for Europe.
Senator Tillman had no sooner sat
down than he was surrounded by Sen
ators from both the Democratic and Re
publican sides and was congratulated
upon being able TO appear once more in
the Senate.
Even the Senate employees hurried to
shake hands with him and several men,
bers OF the House who happened to be
in the chamber did likewise. Among
who has himself recently recovered
from a severe illness.
one of the first Senators TO Congratu-
late Senator Tillman was Senator Bacon
OF Georgia, who urged the South Caro-
lima statesman in tones so loud that
everyone could hear him. TO take care
of himself and not attempt 10 do any
work IL the Senate.
Senator Tillman replied that he did
not intend to take any part in the Sen
ate proceedings, and particularly IN
consideration OF the sundry civil bill,
which was then being acted on. He re-
mained in his seat a considerable time
before he left the chamber.

This Afternoon.

The Vreeland resolution. making it
possible 90 pass the Nreeland currency
bill, was adopted by the House, BY a
vote Of Ia 20 I45 today. This vote is
taken as a positive indication OF the
passage Of the bill this afternoon
Sparks were flying through the air
and birthstone was plentiful when the
great struggle began on the bill.
The tumuIt started before the House
convened. when Representative Prince
Of Illinois, who is opposed TO the bill.
said among o.ker things:
THE Speaker would amend the ten
commandments If he could gain a vote
for his size OF a question.
Mr.. Prince made this statement in
reply TO the rumor that Representative
Hayes Of California had been won over
from the ranks OF the insurgents by a
promise that the Dill would be changed

Mr Burton Of Ohio closed she debate

Appeal May Be Taken While Alien

POUGHKEEPSIE, y. Y, May IA
With the prospect Of as desperate
legal battle as the twice-fought strug-
gle TO convict him OF murder, the hght
ror the release of Harry X Thaw from
the Mattenwan Insane Asylum began
today
It was hinted that District Attorney
Jerome viii lay bare startling chapters
IN Thaw's life. which he was prevented
from revealing ia the murder trials
Both Thaw and his attorneys profess
extreme confidence in being able TO on
set any of Jerome's testimony.
Mr.. jerome was present in person 10
oppose Thaw's application, and was as
sisted by District Attorney Mack, or
Duchess county. Attorneys Graham
and Peabody appeared for Thaw.
May Take Appeal.
Thaw's lawyers questioned the consu-
tutionality OF his commitment. If JUS
tice Morschauser is forced 10 rule on
this point II viii mean an appeal and
weeks will be required to get a decision
from the higher courts.
Jerome was prepared, it is understood.

There We're nearly 800 people present
when Justice Morchauser opened court.
Claims Illegal Commitment.
Thaw claimed that he was hlegally
committed to Matteawau in that he
was committed without an examination
as TO his sanity He also claimed thar
aIatteawan is a penal institution, and
that he has not been convicted Of any
crime Nor is he even charged with
any crime now, Lor Is he under indicI-
meut for any. He declared he stands
before the court an innocent man, with
TO adjudication Of insanity behind him.
Opposed TO this line OF argument is
that of District Attorney Jerome. The
later IS. prepared 10 show that Thaw
was admitted To be insane by his own
lawyers; that a jury found him insane
after thorough consideration; that Su-
ureme Court Justice Downing consider
ed Elm insane and so adJudged him
when he concuTred IN the verdict OF the
Jury at the second trial.
Among the twenty-five witnesses that
ThaW's lawyers had on hand today,
were a number Of aiienists. These eX-
perts i'm insanity have examined Thaw
since he was sent to Matteawan. and
their unanimous conclusion IS that ne is
no longer subject TO the hallucinations
with which he may have been afflicted.
