ANARCHIST BULLET LAYS SPAIN’S PRIME MINISTER LOYV. MURDERER ARRESTED AT ONCE. Th© Greatest Excitement and Indignation Prevails Among All Classes In Spuiu Over the Untimely Tragedy. Senor Canovas del Castillo, the prime minister of Spain, was assassin¬ ated Sunday at Santa Agueda by an anarchist. The murderer fired three shots, two of which struck the premier in the head and the other in the chest. The wounded man lingered uncon¬ scious for two hours aud died at 3 -o’clock Sunday afternoon. His wife was but a short distance off when he fell. Santa Agueda is noted for its baths. The place is between San Sebastian, the summer residence of the Spanish court, and Yittoria, the capital of the province of Alava, about thirty miles south of Bilboa. The premier went there last Thursday to take a three weeks’ course of the baths, after which he expected to return to San Sebas¬ tian to meet United States minister Woodford when that gentleman should be officially received by the queen re¬ gent, The assassin was immediately arrest¬ ed. He is a Neapolitan and gives the name of Rinaldo, but it is believed that this is an assumed name and that his real name is Michele Angino Golli. At a special meeting of the cabinet, under tho presidency of Senor Cos- Gayon, minister of the interior, the latter announced that he has been en¬ trusted by the queen regent with the premiership ad interim. The Murderer Talks. The murderer declares that lie killed Senor Canovas “in accomplishment of a just vengeance,” and that the deed is the outcome of a vast anarchist con¬ spiracy. He is believed to have ar¬ rived at Santa Agueda the same day as the premier. He was frequently seen lurking in the passages of the bathing establishment in a suspicious manner. Martinez Campos has gone to San Sebastian to attend the queen regent. Senor Sagasta, the liberal leader, has sent the following telegram to the government: “I have heard with deep pain of the crime that has thrown us all iato mourning, and I place myself at the orders of the govern¬ ment and of the queen.” Most of the liberal leaders have •sent similar messages, placing them¬ selves at the disposal of the govern¬ ment. The greatest excitement and indig¬ nation prevails among all classes. All the members of the diplomatic corps have expressed their sympathy with the government. Many senators, dep¬ uties and generals, while expressing their grief and indignation, have offered to render to the government all the assistance in their power. It was at first rumored that the as¬ sassin was one of the pardoned Barce¬ lona anarchists, Int this is not con¬ firmed. News Received at. Washington* Secretary of State Sherman received the first news of the affair through the Associated Press bulletin, He ex- pressed deep interest in the details. He said: “This deplorable event will have some effect, of course, on the present affairs of Spain, but to what extent I cannot say. The death of one man is not necessarily going to change the sentiment of the whole country. Spain is a very tenacious country. Her money is gone. Her resources have been exhausted. But she means, evi¬ dently, to hold Cuba. Just how she can do it under these circumstances, I cannot see. Yet she is opposed to yielding a point. “Premier Canovas was a strong par¬ tisan. He was the chief exponent of the element which was determined to keep the island at all hazards, and, seemingly, Spain is almost a unit on this. Conovas a strong factor in the government of Spain, but it is not im¬ possible that another will be found to replace him in that important office having similar views and the Bame pronounced ideas. M’KINLEY ATTENDS CHURCH. President Refused to Discuss the Assas¬ sination of Canovas. A dispatch from Hotel Champlain, N.Y., states that the presidential party spent the greater part of the day Sun¬ day quietly at the hotel. In the morning the president, vice president and Mrs. Hobart, Secretary and Mrs. Alger and Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid attended services in the First Presbyterian church, Rev. Dr. Reed, formerly pastor of Secretary aud Mrs. Alger in Detroit,officiated. When informed of the assassination of the prime minister of Spain, the president was horrified, but refused to make any comments. VIRGINIA MINERS WILL QUIT. Recruits Ready to Join the Ranks of the Strikers. After the meeting at Tyrconnell, West Virginia, Saturday night the Strike agitators organized a miners’ union, and it is claimed that nearly all the Tyrconnell miners signed the list. Organizer Rea said shortly after midnight that every man in tho Flem- ington section would be out Sunday. The general talk indicates that he is right. THIS STRIKE IS SET 1 LED. Operatives of Cotton Mills at Atlanta, Ga., Return to Work. The strike at the Fulton bag and cotton mills in Atlanta was declared off Saturday and the trouble ended amicably. made late in the The settlement was afternoon, when, without signing any agreement, President Elsas promised to remove all negroes in direct contact with white labor and to hold none of the operatives responsible for the present condition. Saturday night the strikers met and the ball of the labor union was filled with a larger crowd than had pre¬ viously gathered there. The report of tho committee was given, and the agreement made between President Elsas and the committee sustained. The prompt settlement of the trouble was a great surprise to many of the workers. They had prepared to re¬ main out several weeks, and after the refusal of the authorities of the factory to sign any agreement, many thought that an adjustment of an amicable nature would never come. President Elsas agreed to let his or¬ der removing all the negro women stand; he agreed to transfer the colored men who for a number of years have been stationed in several of the depart¬ ments, and promised to removed none of the strikers. SIMONTON \S DECISION. The Judge Gives Definition of an “Orig- Inal Package.” In the United States circuit court at Charleston, Saturday, Judge Simon- ton filed his decision as to what consti- tutea an original package. After re- citing the cause of action and some authorities the judge says: “It appears that an original pack- age is the package delivered by the importer to the carrier at the initial place of shipment in the exact condi- tion in which it was shipped. If in single bottles shipped singly, or in packages of three or more, securely fastened together and marked, or if in a box, barrel or crate or other recep- tacle, the single bottle in the one in- stance, the three or more bottles in another instance, the barrel, crate or other receptacle, respectively. constitutes the original package, if sold or delivered as shipped and re- cel J®. ‘ This is . good , news to the , package , stores and to all who dislike the dis- pensary law. The package stores now have large consignments of liquors shipped 111 half-pint and quart bottles, in paper cartoons packed loose in cars. This enables them to sell as the trade de- mands 111 quantities as desired. The state cannot long compete with this trade, and an early closing of Palmetto rum shops is anticipated. QUIET, BUT DETERMINED. Uanl:s of Strikers Ar© Iteing Daily Aug¬ mented. Advices of Sunday from Pittsburg state that strikers are continuing or¬ derly aud are gaining accessions to their ranks constantly. The 150 men employed at the Horner A Roberts coal mine, at Elizabeth, refused to go to work Saturday morning; about sev¬ enty-five miners at the Equitable mines in the same locality also struck. Both mines were paying the district rate. The company leased the ground where the strikers located their camps and ousted them, but another field has been secured by the strikers which the owner refused to lease to the company and a permanent camp will be established. AFTER TAX COLLECTORS. Governor Joiinston Insists That TUey Ante Up at Once. Five of the sixteen county tax col- jectors of Alabama who were notified by Gov. Johnston a few days ago that they must show cause why they should not be removed from office for delin- quency have settled up their shortages. The collectors of Lee, Henry, Escam- bia, Lowndes and Franklin have set- tied up, leaving only eleven others. The collector of Mobile, Mr. Lott, is still $17,500 behind and the only two others whose arrearages amount to anvthin" Wifcox more than a few dollars are the collector whose money bank^ was in the defunct Commercial of Selma and the Baldwin county collector impeaebmlnt The governor will likely institute proceedings against all EVICTING STRIKERS.

The Assassination of Canovas Is Declared an Anarchistic Plot. A cable dispatch of Sunday from London says: Most "of the morning papers comment editorially on the assassination of Canovas, the Spanish premier. While they speak of it as an anarchistic plot, the impression prevails that the act will wreck the cpieen regent’s policy both in Spanish and Cuban affairs. ENGLAND IS NOT YET READY TO ADOPT BIMETALLISM. WILL GIVE ANSWER NEXT OCTOBER. Wily Britons Want Tim© to Ponder and Reflect Over the Proposition Pre¬ sented By Our Commission. The British government has inform¬ ed the American bimetallic commission that it will probably reply to the pro¬ posals of the commissioners on behalf of the United States in October. The commissioners have been wait¬ ing in London since their conference with the cabinet. Desiring to know the exact position of England before opening up negotiations with other governments, they wrote Thursday to the cabinet inquiring when they might expect a decision, as they were anxious to arrange their future programme. Friday Senator Wolcott received a reply from Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, iu the course of which the chancellor ex¬ pressed a fear that the British govern¬ ment was not yet in a position to re- ply to the proposals of the envoys of the United States and the French am- bassadors on the question of an inter- national agreement, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said: ‘‘It is due both to the choice of the subject and the manner in which it has been brought before the English ministry by the represen- tatives of the two countries that these pro- posals should be very carefully examined and considered; and this process must be somewhat prolonged, owing to the time necessarily occupied in communicating with the government of India.” The chancellor of the exchequer adds that he cannot sav with certainty how long these communications will take, but be hopes the cabinet will be rea dy to meet the envoys again early i B October. While this postponment of Eng- land’s decision delays the work, the American envoys do not consider it discouraging. They think Great Britain’s interest in the question justifies them iu expecting that the In- dian mints will be opened. Thev be- lieve that The Times in exposing the reopening of the Iudian mints does not represent the government, but rather the city financial cu-cles, which are opposed to any change. The re- por t made to the government from the mint is understood to be favorable to to silver. The headquarters of the commission will remain in London until October, Senator Wolcott- may visit Austria, in the meantime, and pave the^ way for negotiations with tho Austrian gov- eminent. ____ FOREIGN COUNTRIES ADVISED. Text of Our Xew TarifV Bill Communicated To Them. The state department has sent in- structions to the United States anibas- sadors and ministers abroad accredited to countries with which we have trade relations that would be affected by the enactment of the Dingley tariff bill, directing them to communicate to the foreign offices at their respective posts the text of the act aud to call attention to the sections of the new tariff which provide for retaliation, reciprocity and similar arrangements, This is done in order that there may be a proper basis for the institution of negotiations looking to the consum- uiation of some of the reciprocal agree- meats contemplated ill the Dingley act.

A Train Wreck Ill Which Two Are Killed and Many Hurt. The fast flyer on the Kansas Pacific railway was wrecked early Tuesday morning about forty miles east of Denver. Two trainmen were killed outright and a number of passengers injured, none of them fatally. The killed are: John Ward, engineer, Denver, and W. B. Harringtoh, bag- gagemaster, Kansas City. Ine acci¬ dent was caused by a washout. TILLMAN TALKS OF DISPENSARY. Claim. That I.aw I. Good But It. Ad- miniHtration Is Bail. Senator Tillman spoke at Abbeville, S. C., Wednesday before a large audi¬ ence. His speech lasted one hour and twelve minutes. He was in fine trim and made an excellent impresssion. The crowd was generally with him. He discussed the dispensary, the tariff, Clemson college and his per¬ sonal record. He thought that the dispensary was the best solution of the liquor question and he favored state control. He admitted that tho dis¬ pensary law had been badly managed but blamed the management and not the law. He said the new board of control had done more harm to the law than Judge Simonton had. He said the new board should not be elected by the legislature. He defended the Latimer bill and said be introduced it in tho senate before Latimer introduced it in the house. He said he was glad of one thing, that Gonzales lost a whole night’s sleep from fear of the bill passing the house. He said that Si- monton was more tyrannical than Judge Bond was at his worst. He indorsed putting Charleston un- der control of the metropolitan police. He disclaimed taking any sides in the senatorial race and said that all the candidates were his political friends. In answer to a question he discussed the tariff and defended McLauriu’s position on the same. He said that he voted for everything that McLau- rill did in that bill. He said that he was opposed to pro- tection, but that if there was to bo a steal he wanted to get the share due to his constituency. He said that lie was the only farmer in the United States senate and that be represented thirty million of farm- ers in the country. He said that his speeches in the senate were as popular as they are at home; that when he rose to speak the cloak rooms were cleared and tbe g nder 'es filled and that he “ tbrew rocks” there just as he did at ll0me - RIYERS OF LATA. Many People Have Dost Their Rives On Island of Luzon. A special from Tacoma, Wash., says fi ve hundred killed up to July 1st was the record of the terrible outbreak of t h e great volcano Mayon, on the is i and of Luzon, one of the Philippine group AH night of June 24th this volcano bega n throwing up ashes and lava in immense quantities and flames were thrown upward considerablv over 100 feet above the crater were’ The" next day fifty-six bodies recovered at a considerable distance and the most re- cent dispatches to Hong Kong up to July 8tli stated that not less than five hundred were known to be killed. it was probable, said the dispatch, that the loss of life would reach in the thousands, depending on the length of the eruption. On that date lava streams and ashes had reached the cities of Baccacay, Malipot and Liberia and tbeir destruction was certain. Fifteen smaller towns between these and the volcano had been destroyed and scores of the agricultural popula- tion bad been overwhelmed while at- tempting to escape. -- CLAIM PALMYRA ISLAND. Three Men Dispute the Bight of England to Take Possession. The steamer Bergic, which reached San Francisco Tuesday, brings the news that the right of the British government to take possession of Pal- myra island is to be disputed. Luther Wilcox, of Honolulu, de- dares that the island belongs to him- self, Fred Wunderberg and William Kenney, they having secured the ri S bt Horn the Pacific Navigation company, which purchased the island from the Hawaiian government. The government in turn acquired its right through discovery aud colo- nization of the island by Charles Ben- ton in 1862. ~ MILL STOP THE TURKS. ^ ~ 7 ^° ,eisn ^tkUhZmdron! ’ On lecmpt . , ot f the news that .. . the ,, Turkish squadron from the Darda- nelles was headed for Cretan waters, tbe forel 8? ^ arsbl P 8 at Ca f a 8°‘ U P * team and the troops on shore have taken measures to anticipate any pos- sdde complication The report and A SWEEPING INJUNCTION Issued , By Judge r , Jackson _ . to , Restrain , Judge ^ Jackson, in . the ,, T United t -j. i c States < com nesday ; t at afternoon, {1 ParkersbUrg granted i Y’ ^ a “ W . ed ‘ ^ a sweeping ^ in j un ion restraining E.

Just as the fireman were getting in¬ to position for advantageous work and nearly all the members of the engine companies were mounting ladders and bringing leads of hose to play on the interior from the upper windows,there came a roar that could be heard for half a mile. The roof was raised high in the air and the walls came down with a crash. The force of the explosnn was so great that the eastern wall was hurled into the river, the west wall was tumbled down upon the heads of the unfortun- ate men be.ow and the roof was torn j ato fragments and distributed tor blocks around.

Will»ky and Beer Are Sent Into Tlieir Camp By De&lg-ulntf Enemies. Dispatches of Friday from Pitts¬ burg, Pa., state that the proposed campaign against the mine owners of Westmoreland county and the opera¬ tors of Central Pennsylvania, which has been delayed, is now an assured fact. The strike leaders decided on it definitely at a camp will conference, and a big movement be made in a few days. The whole affair will be considera¬ bly on the order of the famous Coxey “commonweal” tour. The plans propose a direct inarch through the whole territory where mines are being operated till Clear¬ field county is reached. Camps will be left at each of the DeArmitt mines at Cannonsburg, at Bunola and any other place that may seem necessary to keep the mines closed, which appears before the crusaders. The leaders estimate that with what will remain behind in the camps at least 8,000 men will be kept constantly in the move¬ ment. A military code for the government of the army will be formulated before tho movement is started. President Dolan says that with any kind of sys¬ tem he can keep everything quiet and the men peaceable. Efforts are being made to order beer and whisky at Camp Determination by outsiders. This has been going on for two or three days,, and some of the strikers have been taken down to East Pittsburg and filled up on all the beer they could drink. The danger of this to the miners’ cause is fully realized by the labor leaders, and a sharp lookout is being kept to find out who is responsible for the efforts to get the strikers intoxica¬ ted. Thursday night a barrel of whisky was shipped to the camp from Braddock. It had been paid for at the other end, and all of the freight charges had also been settled. When the whisky was delivered Captain McKay ordered it taken back to Braddock as quickly as possible. It was shipped back. The strikers do not know who sent it. NO TENNESSEE CONVENTION. Th© Movement Defeated In Popular Flection By Decisive Majority. A Nashville dispatch says: Returns received from various counties through¬ out the state show that the vote in the election held Friday to determine- whether a constitutional convention should be held in Tennessee was very light and that the majority against the convention will be about three to one. The fight has been waged for several weeks, the friends of the movement claiming that East Tennessee required a revision of the constitution in order to make it the manufacturing section it promised. The friends of the move¬ ment found arguments for it, they claimed, in every branch of the state government. For instance, in the executive department, it was argued that the governor was restricted in authority given other governors in tho south; it was claimed that Tennessee- paid entirely too much for criminal prosecutions, by fault of the present constitution. It was fought mainly on the ground that the convention would cost the state extensively and be of little benefit. NEGROES’ IKON FOUNDRY.
