WELCOME THE KING.
Barcelona Citizens Turn Out in Mum.
bers to Honor Alfonso.

Barcelona, March 10.-King Alfonso.
who left Madrid last night, arrived in
this city this morning. He has taken
up his residence at the home of General
where he will stay during his visit
here. He was given a warm welcome
by the people of the city. No disturb
ance of any kind marked the arrival of
his majesty.
The royal train drew into the station
at O'Clock and it's arrival was an
nounced by the firing of salutes from
the Austrian and Spanish warshfps in
the harbor- The big square outside the
railway station was lined with troops
and the civil guard had difficulty in
keeping back the surging crowds. As
the king emerged from the station, ac-
companfed by General Iinares and the
members OF his personal suite in bril-
liant uniforms he was warmly greeted
Smiling his Acknowledgements to the
plaudits Of the people, the king entered
the royal carriage in waiting and
escorted by squadron of cavalry he
was driven rapidly to the church of La
Merced where a TIE Deum was celebrat-
ed. After the services the king repair
ed to the residence of the captain gen
eral. which adjoins the church. This
afternoon at o'clock he will hold a
reception at the home of General
Linares at which the officers of the
i,
will be present.
Barcelona was gaily decorated in
honor of the royal visitor. The tiers
of balconies along the route traversed
by his majesty were hung with bunting
and flags and thronged with women
wearing the black mantillas for which
the beauties of Spain are famous There
were flowers in profusion and the scene
was festive and beautiful. The king
bowed to the right and to the left in
response to the greetings of his people
and some of the black eyed Spanish wo-
men were with difficulty restrained
from disobeying the strict injunctions
of the police against showering the
young monarch with flowers.
An imposing array of civil guards
and police lined the streets through
which his majesty was conducted.
Reds Admire Alfonso.
Orleans, France. March 10.-M. Le-
roux, chief of the Barcelona republi-
cans, declared today that King Alton
SO did not run the slightest risk in
visiting Barcelona. M. Leroux is the
Spaniard who was condemned to two
years Imprisonment for publishing
articles in favor of Jose Nakens, the
editor of Ell Motion, who hid Morales,
the anarchist, who threw a bomb at
King Alfonso in Madrid on his we'd
ding day in 1905. Leroux is now
refugee here. He said:
'fThe king is as safe in Barcelona
as behind the walls of the Alcazar at
Madrid. The popular hatred is against
Premier Maura, who is trying to stamp
out the democratic movement by pit
ting the republicans against the Car
lists and the separatists. Maura is the
man really responsible for the terror
ism at Barcelona. He desires by the
visit of the king to secure the tac1t
adhesion of the throne to his policy in
order to strengthen himself in Madrid.
The king is brave; even his political
adyersaries admire his courage

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
Possible. Repetition OF Collinwood
Disaster Narrowly Averted.

Toledo, O., March 10.-Napoleon's s
union school, the largest building of
the kind in the state, which was COM
pletely remodeled only last April, and
had cost the county $4,000 altogether.
was destroyed by fire this morning. A
repetition of the Collinwood horror was
possibly averted by only quarter of
an hour in the time of the starting OF
the fire, as the children were on their
way to school and some were playing
in the ward when 1t was discovered. At
O'Clock when the pupils should have
been in their seats, the main part of
the building was mass of flames.
Superintendent Bemer and Principal
White were the only persons in the
building when the fire broke out the
other teachers not having arrived. The
two men ran to the stairway leading to
the attic and were driven back by a
shower of sparks and a great volume
of smoke. The fire had evidently caught
from a defective fue of the furnace
chimney, where it ran up through the
attic Before the firemen could get a
sream on the building, the flames had
filled the attic, dropped to the floor be-
low attacked the east wing and were
roaring up the big central tower. The
bell fell inside of Is minutes. The build
ing is a total loss
Eight hundred pupils were enrolled
in the school. The big building had "a
rooms, including two large play rooms
and two engine rooms. 1t was recently
rebuilt and was formally opened last
ADril.

tration, International difficulties aris-
Ing out of contract Indebtedness

Fourth, it unanimously recognized
the principle of obligatory arbitra-
ton.
Fifth, it laid the foundation of, in
deed, established a court of arbitral
justice, leaving, however, the ap-
pointment Of the judges to the sub
sequent agreement of interested ma
tions.
''Sixth. it provided that third in
ternationa1 conference of peace meet
at approximately eight years hence.
''I submit. therefore. that the sec
ond international peace conference
justified not only its aim, but its call
ing; and it was worthy of its great
predecessor; that its meeting has bet
tered the world and given mankind
a hope for the future, and therefore
deserves a successor"

Telephone and Railroad as Aids in an
Emergency.

Chicago, March 10-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Hamilton, Ont, says:
The flying trip of a young woman
from Toronto to Hamilton yesterday
saved the lives Of her mother, two sis

The young girl, who lives IN Toronto
with a married sister while the remain
der of the family live in Hamilton, was
awakened in the morning by a telephone
bell.
Hamilton wants you in a hurry"
was the message from central, and in a
moment she heard her mothers voice,
weak and almost inart1culate.
20, Esther, come to us quickly, we're
all dying" said the mother.
"Annis is unconscious and both Bella
and Jeanie are too sick to call the
neighbors. Come as quick as you can,
I can't stand at the phone longer"

her sisters help, harnessed horse and
drove to the railroad station, arriving
just In time to catch train. An hour
and a half from the time she received
the message she reached her home in
Hamilton, and found the whole family
unconscious from coal gas. She sum-
moned physicians and the four were re-
vfved.
The mother declares. her whole action
was carried out as though she was In
a dream. She had no thought of calling
any person in Hamilton.

HENEY'S AFFIDAVIT.
District Attorney Files One Containing
$4,000 Words.

San Francisco, March 10.-A volumin-
Gus affidavit comprising about $1,000
words was filed in Judge Lawlor's de-
partment of the superior court this
morning by Assistant District Attorney
Francis j. Heney. 1t is in answer to
affidavits previously presented by the
attorneys of the defense in their ef-
forts to have the Indictment of Abra-
ham Ruef for bribery annuelled, chief
ly on the ground that Ruef had been
promised immunity by the prosecution.
Heneys affidavit denies specifically all
of Ruef's allegations.
1t says that Ruef was never promis-
ed complete immunity from punish
ment, but was given to understand he
must accept sentence for extortion
that it was expressly stipulated that no
request for leniency would be made by
the prosecution in the extortion case
unless Ruef's testimony proved to be of
as much benefit to the state as Ruef
reported it to be and unless Ruef fur
nished corroboration for it, that Ruef
himself prepared draft of a proposed
immunity contract which Heney abso-
lutely refused to consider and that
Heney refused to have anything furth-
er to do with Ruef when convinced
that the latter was lying.

WHAT WILL YOU Do

Toxic March 10.-According to a well
authenticated report the center of inter-
est in the Tatsu Maru affair. has been
removed to London. When the British
government was informed of Japan s
announcement, that in the event OF a
refusal by China to entertain her oe-
mands, Japan proposed to take lnde-
pendent action the British foreign or
fee asked Count Komura, the Japa-
nese ambassador in London What steps
Japan proposed to take, calling his at
tention to the clause in the treaty with
Great Britain covering the question Oh
war between Japan and any other ma
ton Great Britain's interest therein be-
ing understood here. Ambassador
Komura being unable to give definite
answer asked the foreign office in TOXIC
for information which found the att-
tude of the British government an un-
expected phase in the situation. 1t is
stated here that the British government
is advising arbitration on the question
of restoration of arms and has pointed
out the advisability of Japan admitting
the moral side of the question, while
turn of events has created deadlock
here and the foreign office is now await
ing advices from Ambassador Komura-
Everybody Denies 1t.
London, March 10.-The report
coming from Toxic that the British
government had asked Japan through
her ambassador here, Count Komura,
what steps he proposed taking in the
Tatsu Maru case, and that Great Brit
ain had advised arbitration, was denied
today. The British foreign office said
1t had taken no action whatever In the
matter. Count Komura also issued a
denial of the Toxic dispatch which
caused much surprise at the japanese
embassy, as well as at the foreign
Office. Baron Komura called at the
foreign office yesterday for the first
time since the seizure of the Tatsu
Maru on February 7. He simply COM
municated to Foreign Secretary Grey
the actual status of the case.
