Spains Youthful King Spends Delightful Days Barcelona and Starts Home Amid Cheers of People-One Little Explosion Is Touched Off While He Is the
 Guest of the Catalonans

Barcelona, March 11.-After two days visit to this city King Alfonso left for Madrid shortly before O clock this even ing. Great crowds gathered on the streets and at the station to bid him farewell. The royal train moved away to the cheer ing of multitudes.
 Before his departure the King expressed his gratitude for the splendid reception which was givon him and for the mani festation of loyalty the Catalonians showed during his entire visit.
 No untoward incident marked the Kings stay in Barcelona. but early this morning the police had something of a scare on account of the explosion of a small bomb which had been placed in a water pipe at Atarazanas quay, very lonely spot. The pipe was shattered and the sidewalk damaged, but no one was injured so far as known.
 The authorities, who were immediately appraised of the explosion, cleared up all traces of it before daybreak Every ef- fort was made to keep the affair a secret, and 1t was not until this evening that 1t became known. The officials here are very reticent on the subject, merely stat

STAR SPANGLED BANNER
 MUST BE REARRANGED

Washington, March 11.-(Special.)-- The admission of Oklahoma into the union of states requires rearrange- ment of the stars in the field of the national flag. How it will be done is shown in an order issued by General Bell, chief of staff. as follows:
 The field or union of the national flag in use in the army will from and after July 8 consist of 46 stars in six rows, the first, third, fourth and sixth rows to have eight stars and the sec ond and fifth rows seven each in a blue field"
 Representative Ansberry of Ohio has introduced a bill changing the rear rangement of the stars in the field of the flag. Critics say that not only would the adoption of the Ansberry plan result in lack of symmetry and proportion, but would at a distance cause the stars to look like one single, large white star. tn ereby causing 1t

BRITISH PEERS
 FEAR NOT THREATS

London. March 11.-Undismayed by threats of penalties to follow the second rejection of the governments Scottish small holdings bill, the House of Lords this evening after a debate which has lasted for two days, refused to give the measure a second reading by vote of 153 to 33.
 During the recess the ministerial spokes- man threatened freely that If the upper house again threw out the measure the government would promptly introduce the necessary legislation to restrict the pow CTS of the hereditary chamber. Since these threats were made, however there have been number of bye-elections dis astrous to the government and consid- erable differences of opinion have devel- oped among the rank and file. As a re- suit of these circumstances the silence of the ministers today on this subject leads to the belief that the cabinet is not yet prepared to inaugurate its threat ened active campaign against the House of Lords

 cuIberson's Inquiry.
 Senator Culberson inquired why legisla- tion was necessary to permit to reinstate the soldiers of the Twenty-hfth regi- ment and Mr. Warren, chairman of the committee, replied that the President had no authority to restore them with all rights and privileges after 90 days, and for that purpose the proposed legislation would have to be enacted. In presenting his minority report MT. Foraker, drop ping into the language of the court, pro- ceeded to say:
 Now, If your honor please" Laughter greeted this remark.
 Coming events cast their shadows, and maybe that influenced the words.' added Mr. Foraker Vice President Fairbanks being in the. chair
 Mr. Tlllman said he wanted all the reports and the Presidents message printed in a single volume.
 'I also want in the document" said MT. Tillman, the message of the Pres ident discharging these men and then his message taking it back
 After taking his seat Mir. Tillman again arose and added in rasping tones:
 T want the entire report so 1t can be sent out for the benefit of the 'nig- gers of the country.
 Senator Bailey inquired whether the committee had prepared a bill to re- instate thee olored soldiers. Referring to the Presidents recommendation and to the recommendation of several men- bers of the committee for legislation to restore the colored soldiers. Senator Bailey said there seemed to be a race to see who could satisfy the dissat- isfied republicans before the republican and before the general cleo tion.
 "The senator Is. of course, giving his views from the democratic standpoint" retorted MT. Warren.
 BaiIey's Sympathy.
 'I am quite content.' MT. Bailey continuel, 'to sit here and see the sen ators from Wyoming and the senator from Ohio (Mr. Foraker). fight this out between themselves. The truth Is the senator from Ohio needs none of my assistance or sympathy, but as be- tween a multitude and one man, always sympathize with the one man if he Is wrong"
 Senator Foraker said the President
