"Shall the people ruler" Every remedial
measure of a national character must run
the gauntlet of the senate. The presi-
dent may personally incline toward
reform the house may consent to it;
but as long as the senate obstructs the
reform, the people must wait. The pres
ident may heed a popular demand; the
house may yield to public opinion; but as
long as the senate is defiant. the rule of
the people is defeated. The Democratic

Barcelona, March S.-The city is be- ing extensively decorated and no of ficial efforts will be spared to give King Alfonso a creditable and enthus- iastic reception on his arrival here on Tuesday. Neverth eless, the greates' owing to the activity Of the Barcelon- ian revolutionists and anarchists who recently have created almost a reign of terror in this city. There have been five bomb explosions here since Jan uary | and not a single culprit has been caught. Only a few days ago placards were posted throughout Bar celona stating that an attempt would be made upon the life of the King should he carry out his determination of visiting this city The placards were torn down by the police but the fear that an outrage would be at temped remains.
 General Linares, who was in com mand of the Spanish forces at San tiago and who is now captain general of Catalonia, will be in supreme com mand of the military arrangements and in consultation with Inspector Ar row, late of Scotland Yard, and nov chief of police here, is taking every precaution to insure the safety of the King, who will be his personal guest.

IRELAND BACKING
 CHAMPION ROCHE
BY RICHARD DAHLGREN.

London, March S.-Strange as it may
 seem good deal of Irish money IS
 going up on Jem Roche in hi approach
 ing battle with Tommy Burns. Ths
 fight is to take place in Dublin on St.
 Patrick's Day. and, while the Irish
 want long odds, they evidently figure their man has a show, despite the ca sy way Burns disposed of Moir and Pal mer. The sale of seats for the Dublin light has been most satisfactory and there is practical certainty that the men VIII fight before a crowded house.
 It may be interesting news to some or the d-timers in the states to know that Jem Mace, one-time world cham pion fighter. is still alive and active. Mace had retired from the ring before John L. Sullivan had been heard oe. In his prime he was perhaps one of Inc shiftiest and gamest men in the ring. Recently he posed for series or moving pictures. At the topmost story Of "Chromo House." Piccadillv- Clrcus' miniature ring was pitched ana Tn the magic circle brother of Feter Gotz and another entered stripped to the buff. Mace and an o1j pupil, MT. J. Frank Bradley. acted as seconds. The plot of the sketch had been arranged by MT. Alfred Collins. ana tnough simple, turned out to be provokingly funny.
 Mace and MT. Bradley express dis approval of the boxers, and. encour- aged by MT. Collins. they agree to set tie their differences. Mace strips. and In removing his vest takes good care to transfer his portable property to his trousers Winking and smiling during the operation. Gloves are handed t, him, but he prefers the raw 'uns' With which he always fought his bat ties. After short encounter, which Mace said was harder than the real thing, they shake hands, sit on chairs and in front of the camera tell Iunny stories over which they laugh heartily. Mace, who is at present per forming at Olympia, hones to have . long run with the pictures.

PRISONERS WORK OVERTIME
To Supply Farmers With Twine For
 Coming Harvest.

St. Paul, Minn., March S.-Until pro- duction again overtakes the current volume of orders, the prisoners in the state penitentiary at Saltwater will work overtime for the benefit of the farmers of the state. Minnesota main tains an immense binding twine plant at the state prison, originally installed to provide competitive conditions in the twine market. The production of the plant has for several years been less than the demand for twine and this year the advance orders from the farming districts have been so heavy that great difficulty is being experi- enced in keeping pace with them. Practically the entire output of the state factory is sold already in an- ticipation of next falls harvest opera - tions, and the estimates of the warden show that the entire required reserve of twine will be exhausted before the close of the season. To take care of the orders which will come in from week to week until the harvest season opens, there is only the current pro- duction of the plant, which is insuf- ficient
 In order to meet these conditions the state board of control has auth orized overtime work in the state twine fac tory. not to exceed three hours per day. The resolution provides that such work shall be voluntary on the part of the prisoners and that they shall be paid at the rate of 20 cents for each three hours of overtime.
 The production of the state plant has increased enormously in the past few years and the twine monufa cturered by the prisoners now provides one of the most important sources of supply for the farmers in the immense grain growing districts.

Chattanooga, March -(Special.)-T long looked for campaign for prohibl- ton in Chattanooga was formally launch- ed here today, when special serv- cies were held in majority of the churches of the city These were con- ducted by visiting ministers and lay men at the regular morning hour At night a mass meeting was held in the Auditorium, the address of the evening being delivered by the Rev. George R. Stuart, the Methodist evangelist.
 The only possible way that Chattanooga can go dry it is claimed, will be by legislative enactment. The general as sembly of Tennessee does not meet until next winter and although there has been some talk of a special session, this does not seem probable.
 Chattanooga now has 67 high licensed saloons and ' wholesale whisky houses The saloons of this city are said to be under complete control. The excise com mission system is i'll force here. Even the bartenders have to pass an examina- tion before the commission before they can work in saloons

SEVERE TEST FOR
 THE OLD OFFICERS
ROOSEVELT'S CURRICULUM FOR THE ARMY INCLUDES A 9o-MlLE WALK WITH OTHER SHORT SPURTS AFOOT.

Washington, March S.-What Is to be the combination of physical requirements of army officers to carry out President Roosevelt's curriculum for the mainte- nance of physical fitness, Is just now question which is receiving considera- tion by many of the bureaus of the war department.
 The latest phase of the subject com pines a 9o-mile equestrian test with sev- eral short, crisp spurts on foot Some of the officers who have considered the sub ject seem to detect in the plan in its pres ent shape a clear intention to make the test so harsh that many of the older of fcers will be unable to pass the test. Following their retirement there would of course, be room at the top" for young officers.
 It Is explained, however, that the ques- tion of what the tests shall be is still a matter of consideration and subject to modification.
