Guarded by four French cruisers and
ten destroyers and a feet Of Russian
Warships the car and czlrina arrived at
Oowes today aboard the Russian royal

private, court ceremonies will be dis

Il is not yet decided whether the car
will land on British soil except at OOwes.
The Portsmouth corporation has ex-
pressed desire to present an address Of
welcome, but the sOcislist and labor
parties have been stirring up so much
opposition to the visit that fear Of hos
tile demonstration will probably cause
the ides of landing a! Portsmouth TO
be abandoned.
King Edward gives banquet aboard
the Alexandra tomorrow night, st which
most OF the members Of the royal yacht
squadron will be present. At this din

Revolutionary Horrors.


HendAye, France, Aug. 2.-The
rebels OF Barcelona are still holding
their own against the government
troops, according to messages from there
today.
The governments official statement
is that "BarcelOns is quiet" but this
refers only to the central district. which
the soldiers control with hesvy artillery
force. This district is comparatively
small. Nearly all the remainder OF the
city Is ia the hands of the revOl1tionists,
who are still burning aud dynamiting
buildings and shooting at the soldiers.
The execution of the mob leaders has
been accompanied by much bloodshed,
IS daring bands of revolutionists have
attempted 10 rescue their comrades from
the military guards and many have
been shot down In the futile display of
courage.
News Struggled across the frontier Is
to the effect that the revolution is rapidly
spreading ard that anarchy prevails
throughout the entire province of Osta-
lonia.
Rebel bands are pillaging and soaking
villages, burning farm houses and kill
ing live stock. Ruins are conspicuous
on every road leading to Barcelona.
A French factory at PalamOs was
burned by the rebels today. The super
intendent OF the factory refused to allow
bis men to join the rebellion and vas
shot by the mob while defending his
family from attack. The torch was then
applied to the factory.
Other outrages have been committed
sgsinst the French residents Of Catalonia
and the French consular agents 10 this
province have asked their government
10 come to their aid. Several Frenchmsn
] are reported to have been killed.
Blrcelona's condition is pitisble. The
city Is In darkness, 2 s all the gas aud cleo
trio plants are destroyed. Water maius
have been broken and a water famine
| Is imminent.
The food situation Is acute No meat
supplies have reached the city for a week
aud bakeries have been forced 10 close
for want of -four. People. are now on
bone third rslions and hunger mObs are
already beginning to form
The hospitals are overlooking With
the wounded. Scores have died from
lack OF attention, and 1t is no uncommon
sight TO see soldiers aud rioters walking
the streets with dangerous wounds thst
have never been dressed.
Cerhere, August Thousands Of refugees

arriving along the front ec, sheterless and

BY THE uarrOWest margin ever known
in tariff legislation the tariff bill es'
csped defeat 10 the House Of Represen
tatiyes Saturday nigh. The motion tc
recommit The conference report was de-
feated by only five votes, twenty re-
publican members voting to send Il
back 10 conference, and the acceptance
of the report was carried Dy a bare
majority of twelve votes. The vote to
rscommit vas lost, 1856 voting fayorablJ
and I9l sgsiDst. The coOferees' re-
port was adopted by 1875 votes to lS3.
This, result, however, WAS made the
occasion for demonstration OF appsr-
cot enthusiasm on the part Of the vic
torious but badly frightened majority.
The Influence of President Taft IN
questiousbly saved the measure. Dur
iDg the day be had seen aud talked
with members who we're dissatisfied, and
had persuaded them to withdraw their
opposition. Had he shown the least
desire to have the bill beaten, or even
dissatisfaction with its general proVi-
sious, the majority against it would have
been larger than that In favor of 1t.
As it was, the bill was saved from de-
feat by men who have denounced it.
40 analysis of the roll call shows that
II the democrats had voted solidly, and
the absent democrats who we're impaired
had been present and voting, the bill
would have been lost, but it seems that
democratic statesmen can no longer
be relied upon at critical moments

Alfonso win Continue the War.


Madrid, Aug. 2.--The war with Mo-
rocco will go on and there will be no
let-up in the stern methods to check the
revolution at home. Ignoring the ad-
vice of both his Cabinet and military adj
visors, King Alfonso decided today to
uphold the policy of Premier Maura,
the harsbness of which is generally held
to be responsible for the serious condi-
tiODs OF affairs at home and abroad.
The king met with his ministers and
military advisors today. The msjority
of the Cabinet frankly told Alfonso that
Maura's severity was dangerous, and
begged him to modify the premier's
policy for the safely Of the dynasty.
The military advisors told the king
that the Moroccan war was sure to be q
repetition of the disastrous war in Cuba.
The king was deaf 10 both plesdiDgs,
and be announced that for the present
the government would uphold Premier
Msurs with all It's strength.
Alfonso is alse deaf to the appeals Of
the queen and his ministers that he re-
turn to San Ssba'tiaD, where a British
wsrship Ia in readiness to remove him
and The queen should crisis arise.
