French government was unable to
learn today.
That Turkey asked for terms is
known positively. The general inn
preston here was that Bulgaria had
named severer conditions than the
sultan would grant, and that the ex-
change Of views consequently was dis
continued.

nearly blighted his political career.
For many years, even after he had
been minister OF finance, and Of JUS

welcome at the royal palace from the
close association of his name with the
overthrow Of past monarchy.
In 1902 Premier Sagasta made him
minister of agriculture and eight
years later King Alfonso chose him
for the position OF premier. During
his term of Office he incurred the
clericals' bitter enmity by his persist
ent campaign for separation of the
church and state.
Mad Confusion Followed.

the premier was killed, was packed

nointed q pistol point-blank at the
premier's head and discharged 1t
twice in rapid succession.
Then he shot himself before the po-
lice had time to seize him.
Jose Canalejas, q liberal in politics,
wos appointed premier OF Spain In
February, 1910, succeeding Antonio
Maura, a conservative, after nominal
interval during the days of the Stop
gap Moret cabinet.
The latter part Of Maura's admins
tration had been marked by violent
uprisings all over Spain and especial
" IN Barcelona, in protest against the
drafting OF Spanish troops for the
war In Morocco.
These disorders were put down with
dreadful severity, finally eliminating
In the execution OF Francisco Ferrer
the educator and anarchist leader. Il
was this which drove Maura from
office.
Compared with Maura, CanaleJa'
was regarded as man of very ad
vanced views. He had once been
republican, but had grown somewha
more conservative in later life and |
was this which had antagonized thu
more radical element of Spaniards
who regarded him as deserter from
their standard.
In the main, however, his term Q
office was comparatively quiet on
until few months ago. when bite
discomfort began to develop anon
both politicians and people.
The politicians, noticing that tn
revolutionary element was beginnin
4 to recover from the punishment ihflic
ed under the Maura regime, and hole
ing that Canaleja. was not keeping
under control with sufficient rigor, dt
manded his resignation. The masses

vas rapidly turning into an ultri
conservative. denounced him as
despot.
Then followed the railroad strike
throughout most Of Spain. They wer
temporarily settled. but the men 500
discovered, so they said, that tn
concessions which the governmer
had induced the employers to prom
ise them were not being granted, an
renewed strike was threatened.
Canalejas was making politics
speeches in the large Spanish cite
at the age Of 10 and at 25, as repre-
sentative Of the district of Soria, h
took his seat in parliament.
During the brief republic which TO
lowed the resignation of King Amade

PRISONERS STRIPES
Are Reproduced in Rats Bred by a
kentucky Convict.

FRANKFORT KY, May $.-Pre'
natal influence has been the study OF
scientists for ages, and many wonder
full results have been recorded, but
the most remarkable case known has
come to light in this city. White rats
striped with brown have been bred at
the penitentiary here by Newton Trus-
ty, a convict, and to the association
of rats with the convicts wearing
striped colors, the body of the clothes
being white and the stripes brown, is
believed to be due these freak rats.
Trusty was sent to the penite1tiary
years ago for murder, and was t.
have served life sentence. Hope OF
securing a parole or pardon caused
him to study out some method of max
ing money while in the prison, and he
decided to breed white rats and sell
them. He had been conducting the
rat breeding farm within the prison
walls for years before the first white
rat striped with brown made its ap-
pearance.
It was sold, and then the same fe-
male gave birth to another litter OF
striped rats, which laid the foundation
for the freak rats, which were good
enough sellers to earn Trusty snug
sum of money, so that when he was
paroled recently, he had money
enough to go to his native county
and buy farm.
