CRISIS IN SPAIN ENDED.
Spanish Premier Invited to Remain
by King.

Madrid.-All anxiety as to the out
come of the situation about the resig-
nation of the cabinet has been dis
PEELED and it has resolved itself into a
second reconstruction of the Canalejas
ministry.
King Alfonso, on his arrival from
Seville, Immediately received Senior
Canalejas and requested him to con
tinue in power, The premier agreed
on condition that he be permitted to
make such changes in the cabinet as
he deemed necessary. To this the
king readily assented.
The retiring ministers probably win
be General Aznar, minister of war,
who was mainly responsible for the
crisis by his attitude in demanding
that the Ferrer debate be suspended
Immediately by vote Of the major
ity, and Senior Cobian, minister of
finance, who appears never to have
been wholly in agreement with the
religious policy of the premier.
Canalejas is supported both by pub
lie opinion in Madrid and the prov
inces and all sections of the liberals.
as well as by many conservatives.

WORKERS BILL IS
PASSED BY SENATE
COMPENSATION MEASURE AND
AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY
VOTE OF 22 TO 3.
EARLY ACTION BY ASSEMBLY
Amendments Attached are Principally
Designed to Meet Objections o
Manufacturers and Farmers to
the Original Bill.

Madison--The senate, under sus-
pension of the rules, passed the work
mems compensation bill by vote
of % to 3. Twenty amendments.
principally designed to meet objec-
tons of manufacturers and farmers
to the original bill, were adopted.
The bill provides for system of
compensation for bodily injuries to
workmen, the compensation to be
paid by the employer, who Is eX-
pected to reimburse himself by add
ing it to the cost of his products. as
he would the loss by wear and tear
On his machinery or other expenses
incident to the manufacture of his
goods.
The compensation ranges from So
per cent of the average wages of an
employee for temporary partial dis
ability to four times the average
annual wages for permanent total dis
ability or death. Every employer has
the option of coming under the act.
The employee also has such option,
but he can not exercise it unless his
employer has come under the act.
If an employer does not come un-
der the act, an injured employe re-
tains his right of action for damages
under the statutes and common law
as at present. If the emplOyc de
cines to come under the act and his
employer is under it, the latter re-
tains his defenses in actions for dam
ages as at present.
The most important of the amend
ments were those restoring to the
employer the present defenses of as
sumption of risk. contributOry neglt-
gcnCe and fellow servant negligence

to come under the act providing that
a claim for compensation shall have

employer of less than three persons
shall not be affected by the act, ana
that persons employed by a contract
or Of a county, city or village school
district or the state shall not be
considered an employe of such state
or municipal subdivision.
The twentieth amendment was Of
fered by Senator Sanborn. providing
that the act shall not go into effect
until Sept. /. instead of July | of
this year

DEMOCRATS DOOM
HOUSE S|NECURES
Caucus Maps Out Policy of the
Majority.
VOTE FOR LIBERAL RULES
Reforms Are Those for Which the
Republican Insurgents Fought
COMMITTEES for Special
Session Named.

Washington. - At a caucus held
by the Democratic members OF
the house OF representatives elected
will assemble Tuesday, a program OF
policy was agreed upon, the principal
items of which follow:
Voted to abolish sinecures and per
Quisities on the pay roll Of the house
OF representatives approximating $780,,
600 year.
Ratified a code OF liberalized rules
of procedure, under which 1t Is assert
ed the manipulation Of legislation by
designing interests will be prevented.
Adopted slate Of committees, the
chairman and members of which were
selected by the Democratic members
OF the ways and means committee act
ing as a committee on committees.
Adopted a list of subjects for legis-
lation at the special session, inclu-
ding reciprocity, tariff revision, direct
election of senators, eapportionment,
Arizona and New Mexico statehood,
additional campaign fund publicity
and department Investigations.
Most of these policies have been
advocated for years by the progress
sive Republicans and opposed by the
''old guard"
The rules represent an improvement
upon the reforms introduced into the
Republican rules by the progressiyes.
The committee discharge rule was
amended so as to prevent filibuster-
Ing Of the sort carried on in the last
session. No member is to be allowed
to have more than one motion for the
discharge of committee on the cal
endar at one time.
Bills under the rule are to be read
by title only. and the title shall be
not more than 100 words long.
Calendar Wednesday and other pro.
gressiye reforms are retained. One
amendment gives a member two
chances instead of one to obtain
passage of bill by unanimous con
sent.
One of the most important reforms
is new rule permitting the amend
ment of appropriation bills with new
matter so long as it proposes a re-
trenchment Of expenses, the reduc-
ton of salaries, or the abolition Of ad-
ministrative positions. The Demo
Gratis say they will be able to reduce
appropriations s2O0,O0O.OOo a year IN
der this rule.
Another important amendment pro-
hibtts riders to any bill for the re-
vision of single tariff schedule. This
will safeguard revision by individual
schedules

1911, -Hon. Francis +. MCGovern,
Governor, Madison, Wis. Sir: I
hereby tender my resignation from

and an unwillingness to longer re-
main as a member of a body that has
lately been reconstructed upon the
basis and for the main purpose of
political craftsmanship for the La Fol-
lette faction in politics are my chief
reasons for reslgning.
Il do not believe that a great state
school like our university can be wise
