Rioting In the provinces of Cata
lonia, Spain, and the general manifes
tations of discontent In Madrid over
the continuance of the war against the
Kabyle tribesmen In Morocco have
given rise to grave fears that the en
tire country Is on the brink of a rev
olution. King Alfonso Wednesday declared
all Spain under martial law and an
nounced a temporary suspension of
constitutional guarantees. He . an
nounced that tho rioting in Catalonia
would be put down at all costs and
arranged to dispatch to Barcelona at
once two cruisers and the entire Third
and Fourth Army corps, under tho
personal command of Prince Charles
of Bourbon. Prince Ferdinand of Ba
varia also will accompany the troops,
with the rank of squadron commander.
Ida la Hooted In Streets.
King Alfonso was publicly hooted on
the streets as he drove from the rail
road station to the royal palace on
his return from San Sebastian. Cries
of "Down with the king!" were heard
on every hand.
Barcelona Is tho center of the worst
rioting, and it is there that the upris
ing against the war policy of the gov
ernment seems to center. The author
ities feel that their first care must be
to break the spirit of the Barcelona
rebels, after which they can subdue
the malcontents in other places with
greater ease.
Wednesday marked a black chapter
in Spain s history, for there was trag
edy both at borne and abroad. The
king reached Madrid in time to learn
that part of his army at Melllla had
had a bloody battle with the Moors,
which, though the final victory was
of twenty.one omrera and ft total of
200 Spaniards killed or wounded,

I Work of Gongress I
When tho Senate met Friday Sena-
or Hp.le, chairman of the Committee
n Appropriations, reported the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill, with
amendments necessoiy to carry out
ertaln provisions of the new tariff
law. After five minutes' open session
the Senate went Into executive Besslon,
and a few minutes later adjourned
until 12 o'clock. Entering upon the
ast stages of its conslderotion by Con-
?ress, the tariff bill as reported by
the conferees was submitted to the
House by Chairman Payne and order
ed printed In the Congressional Rec
ord. Three hundred and fifty of the
390 members were In their seats when
Chairman- Payne 'passed up to the
Speaker's desk the bulky document
which has occupied the attention of
Congress for four and half months.
-: :-
Provision was made for the admln-
stratlon of the new tariff law by the
idoption by the Senate- Saturday ot
lumerous amendments to the urgent
leflclency appropriation bill, which
ivas passed. In addition to the sal-
tries for Judges and other officials and
jmployes of the new United States
3ourt of Customs Appeals the Senate
ipproprlated $100,000 to aid the State
Department in making treaties, $25,
)00 for the President's traveling ex
penses, $100,000 to pay the expenses
f the advisory board which will as
list the President In carrying out the
luties imposed upon him by the max-
mum and minimum provision and
U00.000 to defray the expenses of a
bureau which will enforce the collec
tion of the new corporation tax. The
Senate voted to reduce the salaries
sf the Judges of the new Customs
Sourt to the amount received by
ludges of United States Circuit
ourts. Salaries of the government
attorneys who will try customs cases
Uso were reduced. The House adopt-'
d the conference report on the tariff
Mil, 193 to 1S3, twenty Republicans
voting adversely. A motion to recom-
ilt the bill to conference was lost by
'. narrow margin..
Several Senators Insisted that tho
conference report bo read In full Mon
day to avoid undue haste, nnd the Sen
ate dragsed through a seven-hour ses
sion. Senator Daniel opened tne de
bate on the report, charging that the
Democratic members of the Finance
Committee had been dealt with unfair
ly in that they had not been permit-
led to vote In committee on the adop
tion of the report. He claimed that an
agreement entered into for that pur
pose with Mr. Aldrich had been vio
lated. Intentional violation was disa
vowed by Mr. Aldrich, who could not
agree with Mr. Daniel as to what had
occurred between them. Senator Bris
tow said the bill did not keep party
pledges and he would not vote for it.
The conference report on the Philip
pine tariff bill was ngreed to by the
House. The measure is supplemen
tary to the Payne tariff bill and Is In
tended to provide enough additional
revenue to make up the amount which
will be lost to the Philippine govern
ment by the enactment of the provis
ion for free trade between the United

When the Senate met Tuesday it
was at once apparent that opposition
to the conference report on the tariff
bill had collapsed, and an agreement

ern Senators agreed to vote on the
bill at that time under the under
standing that a concurrent resolution
would be passed correcting the hide
and leather schedule. The change will
make manufactured leather dutiable
at 10, instead of 15 per cent. Senator
Culberson said he would seek to have
cotton bagging included in the con
current resolution. Mr. Aldrich In re

the conference report and Senator Mc
Cumber supported It. After being In
session seven minutes the House took
recess until 3 o'clock In the aftern'oon.
