A Madrid, Spain, cablegram, car
ried by the Associated Press, says:
Jose Canalejas y Mendes, the prime
minister whom Spain has regarded
as one of the greatest of statesmen,
was shot and killed by Manuel Par
dinas, a young anarchist. The as
sassin attempted suicide, and it was
first thought that he was dead, but
at the hospital he was found to be
living. No event since the throwing
of the bomb at the carriage of King

king was returning from the church

general consternation and public
sympathy.
So far as can be learned at present
the assassination seems to be in no
way part of a political plot of revolu
tionary movement, but an isolated
crime for which the exact motives re
main obscure.
The assassin, who was of Spanish
birth, came recently from Buenos
Ayres, by way of Parish Practically
nothing is known about him.
The king has appointed the foreign
minister, Marquis Manuel Garcia
Prieto, as premier pro. tmpore, and
the liberal government which Senor
Canalejas so conspicuously conducted
for several years remains in power.
A London cablegram, carried by
the Associated Press, says: The
house of commons, the nomilnr 1101100
of the "mother of parliaments," was
the scene of a riot over Premier
Asquith's proposal to rescind the re
cent action, when the unionists car
ried by a majority of twentv-two Sir
Frederick Banbury's amendment, de
feating the most important financial
feature of the home rule bill.
The .unionists refused to normit
the debate, and the speaker was
forced to adjourn the session on ac
count or the disorder. This is an
extremely rare necessity and the
situation is considered a critical one.
Unionists almost unanimously
threaten they will continue to make
business in the house impossible un
less the prime minister accepts the
amendment or drops the home rule
bill. They declare his action is un
precedented and will be obstructed
by unprecedented measures. Their
object is to force the government to
resign.
The uproar far exceeded that
which stifled Premier Asquith's
speech when he introduced the home
rule bill, and has not been equaled
since the free fight over Gladstone's
first homo rule measure. The min
isters were taunted with such epi
thets as "traitors" and "apes." Sir
A Topeka, Kan., dispatch says:
Fred W. Stanton, a socialist of
Girard, will cast the deciding vote in
the Kansas senate during the next
four years on legislation in which
the republicans and democrats op
pose each other with their full party
strength. Stanton was successful at
the recent election. Of the other
thirty-nine members of the senate,
twenty are democrats and nineteen
republicans. The lieutenant governor-elect,
who will have the right to
vote on any proposition before the
senate, is a republican.
Arthur Capper, republican candi
date for governor of Kansas claims
a plurality of 53. Mr. Hodges, the
democratic candidate, claims a plu
rality of 50. There will be a con
test.
At Atlanta, Ga., former United
States Senator Joseph M. Terrill,
twice governor of Georgia, died. He
was stricken with paralysis in Febru
ary, 1911, a month after he had been
appointed to fill the unexpired term
of the late United States Senator A.
S. Clay. His illness made it neces
sary for him to retire from public
life, but his condition did not be
come critical until a week ago. Sena
tor Terrill was born in Merriweather
county, Georgia, in 1861.
A London Daily Mail dispatch from
Constantinople says:
"Unofficial reports say the Turks
have gained a great success. The
battle opened at 5 o'clock in the
morning. The Turks succeeded after
some hours of violent fighting, in de
feating the right Bulgarian wing and
in repulsing the left wing. They
captured twelve guns and 8,000 pris
oners. The Turkish warships con
tributed largely to the success."
A London cablegram to the Now
York American says: The house of
commons, tho popular house of the
"mother of parliaments," was the
scene of a riot over Premier Asquith's
proposal to descind the recent action,
when the unionists carried, by a ma
jority of 22, Sir Frederick Banbury's
amendment defeating the most im
portant financial feature of the home
rule bill.
The unionists refused to permit
the debate, and tho speaker was
forced to adjourn the session on ac
count of the disorder. This is an
extremely rare necessity, and the
situation is considered a critical
one.
The unionists almost unanimously
threatened that they would continue
