REVOLUTION CHECKED
SURVIVING REVOLUTIONISTS
SURRENDER.
That 5000 Were Slain or
Wounded in Morocco.

Madrid.-It was officially announced
that the cavalry engaged at Barcelona
succeeded today in driving into st. Mar
tin Square the principal bands of revo'
lutionists, against whom the artillery
opened fire, causing great losses. The
survivors surrendered.
Thus, according to official advices, the
instruction has been checked, but at a
great sacrifice of life. After fighting desr
perately and successfully for a long time
behind barbados, the principal mobs
were gradually driven to st. Martins
Square, where they found themselves en-.
trapped. Heavy attachments of artil.
lery and cavalry came up and surrounds
ed them.
The artillery Immediately opened fire,
moving down the re~volutionists, who
sought to escape, but were met at every
point with shot and shell. Those of the
insurgents who were not killed or Sc
riously wounded threw down their arms
and surrendered.
The Instruction continues in the
n~eighboring villages, whittier the troops
are proceeding. The commanders of the
soldiers are under orders to spare none
who attempt to resist.
At the outskirts of Mellilla, the Span
ish arms have suffered a serious check.
Three thousand soldiers have either been
slain or wounded, and the Moorish forces
are fighting at the very walls of the
city itself.
In Madrid, as well as in other cities
throughout the country, there have been
loud mutterings for a long time past,
and the serious situation in Morocco
gave the opportunity for the rising of
the revolutjonists at Catalonia in pro-
test against the sending of further
troops to that country.
The recruiting system mas served to
increase the dissatisfaction of the Span
ish people in general. All Spaniards 20
years of age must report for military
duty, but the rich usually manage to
be excused. If in subsequent drawings
by lot, however, they are unfortunate,
they can buy exemption for $500. Only
the poor people, therefore, serve. More
over, of recent years, in order to econo-
mize, the recruits who were supposed to
serve three years in the army and three
years in the reserves were given unlim-
tied leave at the end of the year.

The arrival at Winnipeg of a large
party of North Dakota business men.
who went to the Canadian center by
boat on the Red River of the North, is
the first water excursion of this kind
in rs years, because a s a rule the wa.
ter is too low for steamers large
enough to do business. The journey
was made in the interest of river i'm
provement, but it is evident that there
would have to be tremendous digging
to deepen a stream which is SO uncer.
tain that % years intervene between

TREAT ALL CHILDREN ALIKE
Interstate Commerce Commission
Allows No Cheap Fares.

Washington. - Children who attend
school must pay the same fare on rail-
roads as do other children of like age.
This ruling of the interstate commerce
commission, made Monday, is a reaffrm-
alton of an administrative ruling of the
commission made several months ago.
The proceeding was instituted upon
petition of the Pierce School, of Phila.
delphia, and other schools in Philadel-
phia and New York.
The commission points out that the
ruling does not prohibit the publication
of the communication rates for children of
specified ages, but merely holds that such
rates must be open to all children within
the ages stated in the tariff, regardless
of their mission, errand or business.

Abdul Hamid, the deposed sultan,
continues to give up" his latest con-
tribution being a check for $4,000, 600
from his hard-earned hoardings. But
apparently the Young Turks are not
yet through with him. There comes
from Constantinople the report that
Abdul is to be tried for his part in
the revolt of last April. This may
mean another and bigger check from
the ex-monarch.

Those bisons, or buffalos, which re-
fused to immigrate to Canada and
have been left to on this side
of the border are truly American in
spirit. Canada bought the beasts, but
as the animals have taken to the
woods the attempt to corral them has
been abandoned and they have been
presented to u government. AS
they have shown their love for Amer.
ican soil it is to be hoped the buffalos
will be allowed their freedom, and
perhaps left to themselves they may
renew a stock which has become well
nigh exterminated.
