ng out of reforms he has at heart.
 Among the new cabinet members will be Count Romanones, it is eX- 'Dected. He has been president of the
 hamber of deputies, but has resigned at the request of Canalejas, who asked Senor Moret to accept the place made vacant in the chamber It is said Moret will take the place.
 Among the certainties of the situa- ton is the retirement for good of the recent minister of war. General Aznar. He Is so thoroughly out of touch with affairs as they now stand that he will not only remain out of the cabinet, but will be placed on the retired list of the army
 There was a report current that i'm mediately upon the reassembling Of parliament Senor AZcarate, leader Of the Republicans. vii, in the chamber of deputies, demand the discussion of the Ferrer affair be continued.
 Canalejas is supported both by pub lie opinion in Madrid and the prov inces and all sections of the Liberals, as we'll as by many Conservatives. It is believed generally that he alone Is capable of preventing the Ferrer case from developing into Spanish Drey- fus affair.
 Reactionary militarists are viewing the cabinet reorganization as a great triumph for themselves. They say they could have forced the retirement of the premier, but purposely Kept him in office to avoid too obvious restoration of the old oppressive re gime. It is reported the reaetionaries had planned a startling coup, aiming at the forcible seizure of the govern ment, had Alfonso not complied with their request for cabinet more in line with their policy.

 In the bottom of the cigar box were a number of small bits of blue note paper, the writing on which was al- most obliterated. The only words that could be recognized were those of see" and lot and the letters "P. M." The writing appeared to be feminine.
 After working over the torn bits of paper many hours, the detectives pieced them together and worked out this sentence: Please excuse this writing, as it is so hard to be writing in bed"

 The detectives say that portions of torn post card written in German hand, were found in the cigar box The abbreviation Mrs" was de- ciphered from fragments of a post card The bits of letter, which were written on both sides, were traced with a pencil.

PARTY LEADERS REUNION

Washington, April 4.-Every incom- ing train has brought senators and
 representatives for the special session | of congress which opens at noon Tuesday
 The Democrats have held their | caucus and outlined their legislative 1 program for the first session of which they won control in 16 years.
 The Republicans, in the minority for the first time in the same period, will caucus Monday night. Represent ative Mann of Illinois undoubtedly will be chosen the minority leader of the lower house.
 !. Asks Tariff Delay
 All the national legislators on the ground expect long session. Speaker elect Champ Clark admits he will be surprised if an adjournment came be- 1 fore September l. Consideration of the Mexican situation will require some time, as will that relating to the publicity campaign contributions be- fore and after elections. The election of United States sen ators by the people is important. Then the tariff qqueston will be taken up and will consume the greater part of l the session. Following that, CanadiaN
 reciprocity will be brought forward and the conclusion of this bill will find everyone willing and happy to go home.

 New York and Woodrow Wilson of 1 New Jersey are expected
 Leaders in the house are satisfied the situation in that branch will be harmonious. In it's makeup the house contains 227 Democrats and only r63 Republicans, giving the former a strong working majority. The Repub- licans have nominal majority in the senate.
 Great Change in the Senate. 1 However, by coalescening, the pro gressive Republicans and Democrats could control. The change which has taken place in the senate is one of the greatest in the history of that body. The old school has passed out and the Sixty-second congress finds a new regime in control. The plan is to revise the woolen schedule as early as possible and send it to the senate. While that body ia discussing it the reciprocity bill will be taken up by the house and in due time disposed of.
