The dastardly attempt of the ANARCHIST
Allegro to assassinate the King of Spain
has followed quickly
Attempt to after the assassination OF
the King of Greece that
0SsaSSiiidIeit suggests the intention
on the part of anarchism to commence
anew a period of violence.
The crime OF regicide was punished for
merly by the horrid process Of "ecartele-
ment." that is, being drawn apart by
four horses 1t was thus that Ravaillac
was punished for the murder OF the good
Henry " of France. whose love of the
people was no less than that of the good
King George and of that best and BRAY
est of monarchs. King Alfonso. who for
tunately escaped almost miracuiously the
fate that threatened him.
At the moment the war of the allies
against Turkey is on the eve of conclu-
sion We may turn our eyes toward the
Spanish situation which. far from being
disturbed by the attempt on the life of
the king, has provoked, on the contrary,
popular rejoicing and a spirit of concilia-
ton and pacification among all parties in
Spain.
1t is nevertheless true that Spain has
taken will take, the place in the calcu-
triplice and the triple entente. the always
doubtful and shifting place occupied by
Turkey. The Balkan allies, it may be
added. will scarcely consent to play any
such role as that PLAYED by the power
they have put out of the European field
Of politics.
In a recent dispatch a correspondent
writing from Madrid mentions "A debate
in the cortes concerning the ratification
of the Franco-Spanish treaty which had
raised the question of alliances. And it
was asked by member If Spain would
be neutral or would she ally herself with
the triplice or the triple entente?"
Former Minister conservative Sanchez
T0ca had extolled a close entente with
England. The carlist leader Vasquez de
Mella attacked that proposition and adj
vised the entry of Spain into the triplice
The radical leader Senior Lerroux ex-
pressed himself as the enemy of all
European ventures, and he would tighten
the bonds with Portugal and Latin Amer
lea. The government through the minis
ter of state. Senior Garcia Prieto. limited
itself to the reply that any pact at all
seemed to it premature. and 1t would
conclude none without consulting the
country.

OF religious persecution. Now
the government proposes to make amends
for the wrongs inflicted upon them by
former governments
The inquisition, for il was that nstitu-
ton which committed the injury, was
formed first in Verona in 1ls4 and subse-
quently was organized in the south OF
France. where 1t sought TO repress the
hereses of a religious sect known as
the Albigeois in the department of the
Tarn. In the thirteenth century it existed
in Italy and Spain and many excuses
were committed under the preteXt of re-
ligion. but which was In fact purely
| a political machine of the monarchy. IL
was Napoleon who finally suppressed the
inquisition I'm 1s0S. The Spanish monarchy
would repair the injustice of its predeces-
sors and through the Spanish minister
invited the seventy thousand eXiled Jews
to return to Spain.
The Spanish government nj any rate has
expressed It's intention of opening Jewish
schools at Saloniki, in which Spanish
would be taught the knowledge of which
would facilitate commercial relations with
Spain and all other countries where that
language is spoken, and the minister an
nounced that any other language could
be taught in the projected schools, includ-
ing the Hebrew.
Senior Romeo, deputy to the cortes and
director of the Correspondence de Is
pana, in IL series of articles shows how.
in an international conflict, the neutrality
of Spain would be promptly violated by
one or the other of the belligerents eager
to obtain naval bases on the coasts from
Baleares and the Canares. Spain is in no
condition to defend herself, and she would
run the risk of seeing the victor seize her
coasts, or the two adversaries concert
peace at her expense as Russia and Japan
did ION the back of Korea.
NJ. Romeo thinks it absurd to believe
that Spain would profit by "A war IN
which she was simply spectator. The
only part to play is To take sides with
one or the other Of the bellgerents And
he concludes that il remains To be seen
what country she viii choose for friend
ship, and whether an entente OF an alli-
ance."

Birmingham. Ala, Aug. 6.-The mall
car on the fast Louisville and Nash
vile train No. 4, from New Orleans,
was robbed early last night by two un-
known white men. All of the register
ed mail was taken. but no estimate
could be made last night of the amount
secured.
The train reached Birmingham on
time, at S:37 p. m, and two of the mail
clerks, George Hoover and E. G. York
were found handcuffed. The irons had
to be filed from their wrists. Chief
Clerk Harry Everett had his thumbs
securely tied together with heavy
twine.
The robbers boarded the mail car at
Calera on the dark side, after the train
had begun to move. The clerks state
that they were Immediately covered
| faces to the wall. Everett looked
around once and was fired upon, the
shot striking the corner of the car near
This head. The robbers jumped from
the train at Fourteenth street, in Bir-
mingham.
Chief Clerk Everett says he has no
idea how much of value there was in
the registered mail, but that the men
took it all. He says they were both
short, slender men, but they did not
get good look at the robbers faces,
as they were forced to keep their own
faces turned to the wall
The clerks first saw the robbers jump
to the mail car on their hands and
knees. One robber kept his pistols on
the men while the other ransacked
the mail. The distance from Calara to
birmingham is thirty-fve miles, so that
they had plenty of time to make a
( thorough job. No one else on the train,
apparently, knew that the robbers were
aboard.
/ When the engineer stopped for the
Southern crossing at Fourteenth street,
Birmingham, he happened to look back
and saw the two men jump from the
mail car door This aroused his sus-
picion, and an investigation revealed
the handcuffed clerks.
A quick run was made to the Louis
Vile and Nashville station, where the
alarm was given. Every police station
was notified, and automobiles with de-
tectives started in pursuit.

car, last night was also in the Louis

robbed near Boyles about year ago,
