Three shots were fired at the ruler in
the streets of the capital, opposite
the Bank of Spain, as he was on his
way back to the palace after the cere-
mony Of administering the oath of
all1egence to the troops ON Sunday.
He owes his escape to his own cour-
age, quickness and skilled horseman-
ship.
One OF the shots hit the kings
horse, but the king himself escaped in

and said that he was an anarchist, but
refused to say whether the attempt
on the kings life was the result of a
plot or an Individual ambition.
The king showed remarkable cour
age and presence of mind and from all
accounts his escape was due to his
expert horsemanship. The man was
standing in the crowd which lined the
Gale Alcala. AS the king approached
he jumped to the side OF Alfonso's
horse, grabbed the bride and pulled a
revolver from his blouse. The king
recognized his peril in an instant and
dug his spurs into the TANKS of his
horse, causing him to rear and slight

the assassin as the latter fired.

100000 OUT IN
BELGIAN STRIKE
Fight for Man Suffrage Begins
in Mining Districts.
MANY INDUSTRIES TIED UP
WaIkout in Some Districts Is Scarcely
NoticeabIe-2o,oo 900 Are Idle in
Brussels, 4o,ooo at
Mons.

Brussels, April 1.-THE national
strike against the Belgian franchise
system, which began Monday, must
be regarded as partial failure. In
stead of 100000 strikers, scarcely half
that number came out. The center
Of the movement seems to be at
Charleroi, where 5000 out of 10000
workmen are idle. Client, where the
king is to open a worlds exposition
Saturday, is unaffected 1t is said
that the king is likely to be petitioned
to mediate the difficulty.
Nevertheless the strike has shown
greater strength than was expected by
impartial observers, and because of
the fact that the numbers increased as
the day advanced it is generally be-
lieved the strikers will be reinforced
by several thousand.
The strike thus far has been marked
by neither disturbance nor any special
inconvenience to the general public.
The only act of sabotage" occurred
IN d suburb, where three big machines
in a leather factory were damaged.
Brussels is not an industrial center.
There are about so, 900 workmen here,
of whom less than 10000 are out.
The strike is complete in such places
as the mining districts, but is scarcely
discernible in some localities.
In Brussels itself the strike must be
looked for in order to be found. Prob
ably one-fourth of the workmen en-
gagged in the suburban factories did
not report for work. The Socialist
committee here estimated that 10000
men had struck in the capital.
Reports from the provinces tell of
complete or nearly complete stoppage
of work at Liege, Charleroi, Mons, La
Louviere and smaller cities. At Mons
there are 10000 strikers and at La
Louviere $4,000, most of them belong
ing to the metal, carriage building and
tobacco trades.

son Of the fate that befell so many
persons a year ago.
At two O clock in the morning the

the same position as she was year
ago when she received the distress
call from her Inflated sister ship III
tanic. This was the time of the last
message received from the Titanic,
which sank twenty minutes later, car
rying with her 1000 men, women and
children.
Eight east-bound and ten west

wonderful dream. He seemed. he said,
to have returned to his beloved
