Madrid. Feb. 1S-There is no truth in the report that was current in Paris last night that Alfonso had been as sassinated. It was probably the out growth of the Barcelona bomb explo- sion in which a woman was killed and two persons injured. The precise ob- iect of the outrage is not clear.

TokiO. Feb. 1S.-The reply of TOkip to the memorandum from the Amer ican government will be handed to Ambassador O'Brien tomorrow.

International competition in build

great power to keep even or TO forge
ahead in the race for naval power,
that the relative strength of the ma.
vies seem to remain about the same.
The English dailies and reviews are
urging upon Great Britain the neces-
sity of greatly increasing it's naval
building program and prophesying
that unless something is done quickly
England must abandon the long main
tanned two-power standard. Accord

Great Britain will have in 1914, oni.

COUNTRY LIFE TO VISIT ARIZONA

Announcement is made by the Uni
versity of Arizona that the commission

States; Mr.. Walter II. Page, editor
Of the Worlds Work of New York:

open country for the purpose of find
ing out what these conditions are.

commission would like to hear the
opinions of representative farmers.
teachers. ministers, physicians, bust
ness men. transportation men, news
paper men, and otners who live in
the open country or who have direct
relation with it. Therefore, we would
like to meet accredited delegates
from oranges, farmers clubs, stock
mems associations, as we! as farm
ers and others VINO come individual
ly and on their own responsibility.
We are putting ourselves in the way
of hearing what are the economic. so
cial. sanitary and educational phases
of country life as they are understood
by the people themselves. We do
not expect to make inspections of any
institution or any agricultural region.
We desire to have short statements
from number of representative per

erings. While these meetings will be
public they are not 10 be speech max.

bers of the commission"
The university offers its services
and its buildings for the hearing and
extends a cordial invitation in the
name of the comn.ssion to all inter

"There is no state in the west where the

couraging, but they are increasingly en-
couraging. That is, the reports are more
favorable now than they were one month
ago and one month ago they were more
favorable than they were two months

Under a decision Of the controller of

United States marshal for The District of
Columbia, the public schools of Washing
ton will hereafter be deprived of all fines
collected from strictly federal cases tried
in the local courts.
The decision was asked by the marshal
in the case of the fine Of 5000 paid by
Victor G. Bloode, who pleaded guilty to
in the so-called ink frauds
in the bureau of engraving and printing.
The controller holds that this fine must
be paid into the Treasury of the United
States to the account of miscellaneous
receipts.
He says that fines derived from purely
federal cases. imposed in the Supreme
Court of the District. properly belong to
the government and not to the District.
These fines, he says. are not for viola
ton of District laws. and the District has
no concern in them. How much money
will be lost to the public schools by this

'When the tray with the glasses was

This Is the utterance of Secretary Ed

chorus refused to drink sherry offered
them at the White House Monday after

Mr. Edwards let the cat out of the bag

at Hamline NJ. E. Church. where every
one who heard the chorus rose and gave
the chautauqua salute to the singers
after the splendid concert.
Mr. Edwards had just told the assem-
blage Of the way the President applauded
the singing of Men of Harlech" and of
how Mrs. Roosevelt beamed with pleas
ure when the chorus sang "Old Black
Joe" Then he spoke Of the incident OF
the refusal of White House sherry.

wards, lone of the doors leading into the
room where the concert was given was
opened. An attendant entered carrying a
large tray, on which were glasses con-
tanning sherry.
HE passed to the first man in the line
of the chorus. He declined with thanks.
The next man did the same thing-and
the next and the next.
by that time the attendant knew that
something was wrong. He lost no time
in beating a hasty retreat.
AS Mr.. Edwards closed his recital the
great audience arose as one person and
gave the salute.
