SPANISH KING PLEADS TO SEE THE u s.

King Alfonso of Spain Is likely to
pay visit to the United States some
time this summer. The Spanish gov
eminent is now considering a pro-
posal which e1nanated from the king
himself, who has long desired to visit
America. He has several times made
similar proposals which have been
rejected by the government under
the mistaken notion that the animosi-
ties created by the war between
Spain and the United States are still
warm
Since last year King Alfonso has
been combating this idea and has
been reinforced in his opinions by
the PERSONAL experiences of Captain
Vincens, the Spanish attache at Lon
don, and another officer who visited
the Unitetd States last summer.
When Alfonso was in England in
August he sent for Captain Vincens
and questioned him about his trip to
the United States.
The Spanish king insisted upon
getting from the attache every
minute detail in regard to the United

Senior Don Pedro Lascurain, min
lister Of foreign relations Of Mexico,
who spent few days in this country
recently, does not regard the future
of his country as being nearly so
dark as some people have pictured
it. On the contrary, he is filed with
optimism, and predicts an era OF
great prosperity for Mexico. in which
he expects and hopes the United
States will share.
: When asked by reporter as to
the accuracy of recent reports of con-
tinued rebel activity and for state
ment as to the prospect of perma-
nent peace, he said:
There has been much misrepre-
sentation regarding our affairs. The
situation In Mexico today is very
much like that which existed In this
country during the latter part Of your
Indian campaigns. Tranquility pre-
walls everywhere save In a few re-

and are determined to have it. The

Chaos and Currency.

The dissension among the Demo
Gratis over the currency bill is more
than a mere difference of opinion; it
involves the charge by Congressman
Henry of Texas and others that the
GFass-Owen measure, as drawn with
approval of President Wilson and in
dorsement of Secretary Bryan, is
wholly in the interest of the creditor
classes, the banking fraternity and
the financial world, without proper
provision for the debtor classes and
those who toll and produce and sus-
tain the country
That makes out a worse Indictment
against the party than even its politi-
cal opponents have made and puts
currency legislation prospects at this
late date in the extra session in a
very chaotic condition. Some time
and somehow the country will have
it's tariff and currency laws satisfac-
torfTy reyised-and none. denies the
need of it-but in the meantime our

MRS. PANKHURST ADMITTED
immigration Agent at New York Or
dered to Release the English
Suffragette.

Washington, D. C--Following con-
ference between President Wilson
and Secretary of Labor Wilson, it was
announced at the White House that
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the Brit
ish militant suffrage leader, would be
admitted to the United States with
out bond.
Secretary Wilson said the action
was taken because of the fact that
there was serious doubt that her acts
in England constituted moral turpi-
tude.
Should she break the law in this
country, Secretary Wilson said, it
would be an easy matter to arrest her
and deport her. Following this ad-
mission, Commissioner Caminetti
wired the Ellis Island officials at New
York to release the English woman
She has been detained there since
her arrival on La Provence
