GRIDIRON SPRING DINNER
President and Cabinet Get Torte OF
Jokes of the Club,

Washington.-Pres Wilson and
his cabinet took their first lesson in
Statecraft from the Gridiron club Sat
urday night at it's annual spring din
ner. In the presence of members OF
the diplomatic corps, members of con.
gress and many distinguished figures
in public life they took a good-natured
grilling, which was hearty welcome
after all. The correspondents, in song
and jest, drew back the curtain to dis
close the pitfalls that beset any admin
istration and show the foibles, the
weaknesses and the virtues of states
men.
A scene from genuine melodrama,
THE Democratic Lighthouse" con-
veyed in thrilling fashion the warning
to the tariff makers of the dangers
that lie in their pathway. In the light
house upon the rock was fought the
battle between the principles of pure
democracy and enemies in and out of
the party.

SEVEN ARE DEAD IN
THE CANADIAN WRECK
Three Cars and Engine on Excursion
Train Near Montreal Leave
the Track.


Montreal.-Seven persons are dead
and 10 were injured as the result of
derailment of an excursion train Sun
day afternoon on the Montreal-Cham-
bly, branch of the Central Vermont
railway about four and half miles out
of st. Lambert
The train was carrying about 700
passengers, who had taken advantage
of the free trip given by a real estate
firm to prospective purchasers of lots
at Albani subdivision, and was return
ing to Montreal at speed of between
20 and 80 miles an hour when from
some cause as yet unknown the en-
CINE and the first three coaches left
the track.
The telescoping of the ends of the
derailed coaches caused most of the
fatalities, nearly all of which occurred
in the first two cars. Escaping steam
from the boiler of the locomotive,
which was thrown over on it's side,
filled the coaches and hampered the
passengers in escaping.
The passengers from the other cars
formed a rescue brigade and worked
hard to eXtricate the dead and injured
from the wreckage. Their efforts were
fruitless in the case of some of the vic
wedged in the shattered coaches that
it took a wrecking crew hours to re-
lease them.

NEARLY 100000 MEN DEMAND
THEY HAVE PRIVILEGE TO
VOTE.
WORKERS SATISFIED With THEIR PAY
Men Promise to Refrain From Vio-
lence-Thousands of Women and
Children Have Been Sent
Out of the Country.

Brussels.-Belgium is the scene of
one of the greatest general strikes the
world ever has witnesse 1t is ex-
pected to affect every branch of in
dustry within the kingdom. At least
100000 men-posslDly 500, 000-will
cease work. This movement is not for
an increase in wages or a betterment
of working conditions; it is in protest
against the refusal of the government
to grant the workers manhood suf-
frage.
If the commands of the organizers
of the agitation are needed the men
will refrain from acts of violence. In
deed the workers have promised that
the men will be furnished to pump the
mines, keep the blast furnaces going
and otherwise protect property so that
when the strike is ended there can be
an immediate resumption of work. The
government, however, is taking no
possible disorders has stationed troops
at strategic points in case of need.
Thousands of women and children
have been sent out of the country by
the workmen so that they may not suf-
fer. The strike leaders say they have
$3,000,000 with which to carry on the
movement.
Socialist demonstrations were held in
many cities of Belgium Sunday. All
passed off quietly. The most impor-
tant meeting was at Mons, the center
of the great mining district. The ora
tors condemned violence and urged
abstention from any act which could
indicate revolutionary motives.
The transportation of dynamite, of
which thousands of tons are used in
the mines, has been prohibited.

The king, realizing the situation.

into his horse, which reared violently.
His quickness saved his life. The bull
let, instead of burying itself in the
kings breast, struck the horse. So

discharge.
Before the assailant was able to pull
the trigger again a secret service man
sprang upon him. The two men fell
to the ground locked in each others
arms, struggling furiously. The as
sassin managed to free his revolver
arm and fired two more shots in rapid
succession, but the officer knocked his
arm aside and the bullets flew harm
lessly through the air.
At the sound of the first shot the
kings staff forced their horses on the
sidewalk and made a ring around the
assassin, who fought fiercely in the
grip of four policemen before he was
overpowered and handcuffed.
King Alfonso, as soon as he saw that
the man had been secured, raised him.
self in his stirrups and turned to the
crowd, gave a military salute and
shouted in a ringing voice:
Long live Spain."

his staff, saying:

Crowd Cheers Monarch.
A mighty roar rose from the wildly
enthusiastic masses, which swept
along the highway as the king rode to
the palace, cool, collected and smiling.

Lawton. Okla, April 1.-TLe 1870
Apache prisoners of war who are to
be transferred to the Mescalero res
ervation in New Mexico, under the
supervision of Major George w. Goode
superintendent, were busy all day
Tuesday loading the special train
which is to carry them to their new
homes. The work will not be COM

All personal effects, ponies and
mules, will be taken. The 10000
head of cattle belonging to them will

into the Apache fund.
The 100000 Indian hospital and
home for aged Indians of the affilia-

which is to be located near Lawton
and which was provided for by the
