In Hors In Time to Make Missile

Over Escape.
Madrid, April 15. Threo shotn
Wore fired at King Alfonso Sunday
afternoon In the streets of the capital
by a native of Barcelona, Rafael
Banchoz Allegro, who was Immediate
ly overpowered. This Is the third
time in his reign the king escaped be
ing the victim of ah anarchUt at
tempt against his life.
King Alfonso owes his cecape to
his own courage, quickness and
skilled horsemanship. Accompanied
by his staff, he was riding from the
Cnllo do Alcala returning from tho
ceremony of swearing in recruits
when a man sprang from tho side
walk and seized tho bridle of tho
king's horse with one hand, pointing
a revolve? With the other.
Tho king realizing the situation,
with lightning rapidity dug hie spurs
into his horse, which reared vlolontly. I
His quickness saved his llfo. Tho
bullet, instead of burying Itself in tho
king's breast, struck the horse on jho
neck, but so close was It that tho
king's left-hand glovo was blackened
by the powder discharge.
Before the aseallant was1, able to
pull tho trigger again a secret service
man sprang upon him. The two men
fell to the ground locked In each oth
er's arms, struggling furiously. The as-
King Alfonso.
sassln managed to free his revolver
arm and fired two more shots in rapid
succession at the king, but the officer
knocked his arm asldo and the bullet
flew harmlessly 'through the air.
At the sound of the first shot mem
bers of the king's staff forced theii
horses on the sidewalk and mado a
ring around the assassin, who fought
fiercely In the grip of four pollcemon
before he was overpowered and hand
cuffed. King Alfonso, as eoon as he saw
that the man had been secured, raised
himself in the stirrups, turned to thq
crowd, gave a military salute and
shouted in a ringing voice: ""Long
live Spain."
He then dismounted and reassured
his staff, saying: "It Is nothing, gen
tlemen." ,
Then uprose a mighty roar front
the wildly enthusiastic maseeB, which
rolled along In great waves of sound,
all the way as tho king rode to the
palace, cool, collected and smiling.
King Alfonso was forced to tell of
what he lightly called "the Incident"
which caused delay to Queen Vic
toria and tho dowager empress, Maria
Christina, who were alarmed greatly.
Tho king smilingly allayed thoir fears.

would recover. He declared his ex
amination of tho chest showed that
the Inflammation once marked on tho
left side, had beon checked, and actu

chial sounds were less noticeable.
After a sleep It waB discovered
that the pontiff looked bright and
happy. Although ho was advised not
to talk, he Insisted on explaining how
he had Just awakened from a most
wonderful dream. Ho seemed, he
Bald to have returned to his beloved
Venice, and thought he was in his pa
triarchal gondola on tho Grand canal.
Everything wob biasing with sun
light, when suddenly above St. Mark's
the sky opened and he saw a vision of
his dead Bister, Rosa, who, descend
ing toward him, took his hand, any;
ing: "The moment has not yet comd

Considerable amelioration in tho

enter tho room, there was an affecting
scene. The weak and aged pontiff
and the young, robust priest embraced
tenderly, but tho latter waB unablo to
restrain his emotion at finding the
pope so changed physically.

Caused Action.
Brussels, April 16. As planned by
the Belgian Socialist hade union the
vast political strike began at dawn
hero Monday. Tho first workmon to
tako part In tho movement wore tho
night shifts of the mines and mills
throughout tho country. They lef
tho various plants In chargo of a few
caretakers, told off by tho Socialist
leadprB to keep tho property from
roterloratlng.
At least 250,000 men laid down
their tools during tho morning. There
were numerous exceptions to the
eeneral walkout In many districts,
however.
The strike is complete in such
places uu the mining districts, but la
scarcely discernible in soma local'
ltlon.
In Brussels Itself tho strlko must be
looked for In order to bo found. Prob
ably one-fourth of tho workmen on
gaged in tho suburban factories did
not report for work Tho Socialist
committee here estimated at 11
o'clock that 20,000 men had struck in
the capital.
At tho great seaport of Antwerp the
strike did not appear until Into in tho
day, and then only affected n part of
the dock laborers.
Unlike most strikes, this movement
Ib not for an Increase in wages or a
betterment of working conditions; It
is in protest ogninst tho refusal of
tho government to grant tho workers
manhood suffrage
Coal miners, railroad men, glasB
workers, foundrymon, olectrlclans and
dockmen had pledged themselves to
obey tho summons of tho Socialist
leaders to make the walkout effoctivo.
The suspension of work in tho coal
mines in the Chndopol district was
complete. The metal workers have
only partly quit, but it is understood
that late today the remainder will lay
down their tools.
The strike nt La Louviero was gen
eral. All the factories, oxcopt a pot
to: y. closed. Tho strlko of motormen
and conductors was timed to begin it
seven o'clock In the evening. Somo
attempts wero made to cut telegraph

Tho king of Saxony was especially
circumspect. Not content with tho
oath of secrecy Imposed upon his work
people, he would not abate his kingly
suspicion in favor of a brother mon
arch. Neither king nor king's dele
gates might enter the tabooed walls of
Molsson. What la erroneously called

for 200 'years by a process bo secret
that neither the bribery of princes nor
tho garrulity of the operativea re
