The bomb had been thrown without well calculating the distance and it exploded, wounding two sightseers who were applauding the King. The King remained on the spot until the two wounded persons had been removed to a hospital, and then he received an enthusiastic ovation. One man was arrested. His name was kept secret, but it is doubtful in the confusion the police seized the real culprit, as especially no one pres- | ent was able to tell exactly from where the bomb was thrown.” The Italie, the crgan of the Foreign Office, congratulates King Alfonso on his escape. BARCELONA Spain, April 7.—King Alfonso, accompanied by Premier Mau- ra and War Minister Linares, started this morning on a round of visits to factories, where he conversed with the working people, praised their labor and declared that one of his greatest de- sires was to adequately protect the workmen. He also visited the work- men's quarters, many of which were decorated. Everywhere the King was accorded a most cordial welcome.

SPOKANE, Wash., April 4—Bound, gagged and choked nearly to death was the treatment which Mrs. Joseph Kelly of 2402 Third avenue, a hand- some bride of a few weeks, suffered this morning at the hands of a masked man who sought to rob her. The woman’s husband had gone to work and her mother was away from the house. Mrs. Kelly, who was wash- ing dishes, heard a knock on the door. Thinking that it was one of the neighbors, she opened it at once and was confronted by a rough- looking man with a white handker- chief around the lower part of his face. “I uttered a scream,” said Mrs. Kelly, “and triad to snatch the mask from the man’s face. He fought des- perately with me for a short time and then he stepped -inside the door and grabbed me by the hair. He then threw his arms about me and held me so that my head fell backward on his shoulder. Quick as a flash he tied my hands to my body with a piece of stout rope, and, then grabbing a large white rag, stuffed it down my throat until T could not make a sound. As he was binding me I tried to call for helpéd, but he choked me brutally and then threw me on the floor.” After the man had gone Mrs. Kelly crawled to the kitchen door for air. When she had recovered she ran acrosa the street to the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Lind, and, with her hands still bound and the rag still in her mouth, fell fainting on the porch. There are heavy finger marks on her throat and her wrists were cut by the ropes with which they had been bound. —————————— Two Highwaymen Are Oaptured. BLACKFOOT, Idaho, April 7.—The two highwaymen who robbed the Thum & Pyke store at Ross Fork last night were captured early this morn- ing by Deputy Sheriff Quigley at Po- 'catello.

Representative Willlams has been highly complimented on his leadership in the House. He became Democratic manager on the floor at the beginning of this Congress, and he has kept the Republicans busier in defending them- selves than they have been in many years. Indeed, it is said to be the first time that the Democrats have had sane leadership on the floor of the House since William L. Wilson of ‘West Virginia was chairman of _.he Committee on Ways and Means. Wil- liams has been consistent at all times and has pointed out the policy for Democrats of favoring tariff revision and reciprocity. Judge George Gray of Delaware was one of those who took occasion to write Williams a good word. Others from whom he has heard at various times have been Senator Gorman and nearly every Democratic Senator, for- mer Covernor Hill of New York and most of the Governors from Demo- cratic States. There are many who are urging him for the Vice Presidency nomination and who agree with mem- bers of Congress that it is time for the Democrats to take one of their candi- dates from the South. Representative W. S. Cowherd of Missouri was elected chairman of the Democratic Congressional committee without opposition to-night. The question of the election of a secretary to the, committee caused much discussion.’ The present secre- tary, Charles A. Edwards, was placed in nomination by Representative Ke- hoe of Kentucky and seconded by Rep- resentativé Bowers of Mississippi, act- ing for Representative Williams, who was late in arriving at the meeting. Representative Dinsmore of Arkans: moved that the newly elected chair- man be authorized to appoint a secre- tary to the committee. Representative Thayer of Massachusetts indorsed thia action. 2 i It was mentioned that Secretary Ed- wards had some connection with the Hearst propaganda for the Presidency. The friends of Edwards answered this by stating that this fact ought not to influence the vote either way, as he maintained this connection entirely outside his official duties with the com- mittee.” The committee adjourned at 11 o’clock without electing a secretary. Senator Carmack of Tennessee and Representative Ransdell of Louisiana made speeches against the election of Secretary Edwards. —_—— Pilgrims Journey to Kieff.

Aids the Detectives in | the Search. Clothing of Men Who Tried fo Rob Oregon Express at Copley Found* in Bottom of a Shaft, I | REDDING, April 7.—Welis-Fargo and Southern Pacific detectives work- | ing here on the Copley train robberyi case have found where the three ban- | dits stayed for flve days previous to | committing the crime and have prac- | tically established the identity of the | highwaymen. They have no idea, how- | ever, of the men's present whereabouts. While planning the hold-up the men | who later killed Messenger O'Neil were rendezvoused in a deserted mining cab- | in at the Nigger Hill mine, a mile west of the town of Keswick. This cabin | belongs to R. G. Dunn, who has been; the agent for Wells-Fargo in Redding | ever since the express company estab- | lished an office here. | The detectives learned of the rendez- | vous from a lineman who sought ad- | mission to a supposedly unoccupied | cabin a couple of days previous to the | robbery. He found three men in the | little shack. One of them opened (_he; door ever so slightly, gave an evasive answer to a question and then closed | the door. | When this suspicious circumstance was reported the detectives examined the cabin and found that the bandits | must have stayed there for five days before the night they donned masks and went to Copley, five miles north, to hold up the Oregon express. They | must have returned to the cabin after having Engineer Joe Sink haul them | to Keswick station from the scene of | their crime, then endeavored unsuc- cessfully to dispose of all evidence and left for parts unknown. In the water at the bottom of a fifty- foot shaft the detectives found the clothes the mer! wore while holding up the train and in the cabin they found | a strap from which a plece was cut to form a shoulder strap for the bag in which the dynamite was carried. A San Francisco paper of five succes- sive issues previous to the date of the hold-up established in the detectives’ minds the length of time the men were at the Nigger Hill mine. The lineman who put the detectives on the right scent gave a good descrip- tion of the man who opened the cabin door for him. The cwicers are satis- fied that he is a man who formerly lived near Whiskytown and who, with two bachelor neighbors, was suspected of havine held up the , Weaverville stage in June. 1903, as the three quietly left the Whiskvtown region a short time previous to the Copley hold-up and have not since returned. ——e——— GIRL OF ELEVEN YEARS 1S SUING FOR DIVORCE 4 Was Married at the Age of Nine to a Man Fifty Years Her Senior.

The clause specifies that this equality is only between the parties to the treaty, but the officidls say that the favored nation principle will prevail and will give all countries similar equality of treatment, this having the effect of establishing the open door in Morocco and Egypt.

Brown Army Now in Readiness to Strike. ‘May Turn‘ Russian Flank and Move on Mukden. Transport Fleet Is Off Mouth of the Yalu. Speeial Cable to The Call and New York Her« 2ld. Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. LONDON, April 7.—Of the various commentaries on the military situation in Korea printed here this morning the Most illuminating is that of Spencer Wilkinson, who writes in the Morning Post as follows: “The Japanese now appear to hold the left bank of the Yalu from its mouth, but there is no means of knowing the extent of their front. Their left flank is at Yongampho on the Estuary, and as they hold Unsan, their right flank may be at Pyokdong, sixty miles up the stream, or even farther away from the left. “The Japanese force is apparently composed of the Guards and the See- ond and Twelfth divisions. Two more divisions, the First and the Third, are reported to be in transports near Yong- ampho. These may be inteded to land on either bank of the river, accorfing to events and to the nature of the oper- ations of the next few days, “The Yaln at Wiju, where the main road crosses it, is miles in a straight line from Liaoyang, where the road touches the railway. The road between the two places falls into three unequal lengths. The first leads to the town of Fengwangcheng, where the Russians are believed to have a force support- Ing. their advance parties on the Yalu; the second leads through a hilly defile, turning first northward and then west- ward to penetrate the Motienleng range, and the third leads from this range to Liaoyang. “The Russian commander can hard- ly intend to make a firm stand on the Yalu or In front of the defile and hills, but the Japanese commander could wish for nothing better. He would probably, in that case, cross the Yalu with his right wing as strongly as pos- sible. The advance, or right wing, as suming it to be strong enough, would compel the Russians t. retreat and leave open the passage for the left wing. “Very much depends on the strength of the Japanese force on the Yalu'and its proportion to the Russian forces available in Southern Manchuria, for if the Japanege general has superior rumbers he may aim at the railway north of Mukden. “The distance from Broughton Bay to the middle Yalu is not greater than that from Pingyang to Wiju and it is | conceivable that the right wing of the Japanese force may be stronger than could be inferred from the list of divi- sions known to have landed in Korea. “But, once the Japanese outposts are on the line of the Yalu, the troops will be moved in a few days from the west coast near Anju to the Yalu above Wiju. “An attack on the Russian left. or a movement to turn it, would probably compel the Russtans to abandon the coast defenses below Antung and clear the way for a Japanese Janding there or at Antung, which would then be- come the Japanese base of supplies. Some days must probably be allowed for the movement of .the Japanese troops to concentrate behind the screen formed by the Yalu and to reconnoiter the strength and positions of the enemy in their front. “The presence of the fleet of trans- ports near the mouth of the Yalu shows how completely the Russian squadron at Port Arthur is dominated by the Japanese squadron, even though the whereabouts of the Japanese squadron is unknown.” puas 2 s e JAPAN CONTROLS THE YALU. Supply Steamships Enter the River and Land Their Cargoes. TOKIO, April 7. — A dispatch from Seoul, Korea, says that Japanese sup- ply steamships are safely entering the estuary of the Yalu River and are landing their cargoes at various points on the Korean shore. It is presumed here that the movement of these sup- ply steamships is covered by Japanese gunboats. If this be true thé Russian forts erected upon the Manchurian side of the Yalu River evidently are not ef- fective. According to reliable Korean reports the American mines at Unsan and the English mines at Gwendolin are safely guarded by detachments of Japanese troops. 2 e A, Russiang Hold Border Towns. SEOUL, Korea, April 7.—Telegrams have been received here saying that the Russians are occupying six of the largest border towns on the Tumen River, in northeastern Korea. 2 Additional War News on Page 5.
