Ketrraakan Guest of Honor at Dinner
Given by Hnnaarlan Cnbinet
Ministers.
BUDAPEST. Hungary. June 1. A ban
quet waa glven here laat night in honor
of. William J. Bryan. Speeches laudatory
of American freedom of virility were de
livered by Count Albert Apponyl, minister
of worship, and Francla Kossuth, com
merce minister. '
Count Apponyl compared the United
States to a giant accumulator, producing
the atrongest conceivable currents of the
highest Ideals of liberty and equality.
"All of us," said the minister of worship,
feel more secure In the possession of free
dom because there exists such a land as
the United States."
M. Kossuth, after a reference to the en
thusiasm evoked In the United States by
the visit of his father to that country, said
that the example of the United States had
Inspired Hungary to efforts to emulate
that great, free country, which once was
a colony. The. best he 'could wish In be
half of Hungary was that Its future might
be as happy as the United States' present
state and its economic condition as flour
ishing.
Mr. Bryan In reply said frenlom-lovlng
Hungary, which had waged so many strug
gles for liberty, was entitled to rank high
among- nations, as the equality of peoples
nowadays waa gauged by their love of free
dom.

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO ACCOMPLISH IT
Move to Amend Claaee in Aarrl
cnltarnl BUI Aronaes Executive,
Who Says Draatle Law

WASHINGTON, June 1 President Roose
evelt decided today to make public the re
port of Prof. ChP- P. Nelll, commissioner
of labor, and 3. Reynolds of New
Tork cone- v'.- editions of the meat
packlns- yJ v a as they found them
on r
v cltuted by the president

,y ' . timlssloner Nelll and Mr. Rey
?'N...V ne sent to congress next Monday.
V, be accompanied by a special message
President Roosevelt In which he will take
Ktrong ground In favor of Immedate and
drastic legislation to correct the evils which
are exposed In the report.
The president had not expected to make
public the report of Commissioner Nelll and
Mr. Reynolds. He felt that Its publica
tion might injure the packing house In
dustry In this country. Primarily the In
formation contained in the report waa ob
tained to be used aa a basis for the legis
lation proposed in the amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill by Senator
Beverldge of Indiana. He did not Intimate
that there would be serious opposition to u
proposition to afford such Inspection of
such meats prepared for domestic consump
tion as Is afforded to meat products Intended
for shipment abroad. The meat packers.
however, rose In arms against the Bever
ldge amendment, being Insistent In oppo
sition to It not only In principle, but In the
question of paying for the proposed In spec
tlon.
Wadsworth Would Amend BUI.
Representative Wadsworth of New Tork
called on the president today. Ho Is the
chairman of the agricultural cdmmtttee of
the house to which the proposed amend
ment will be referred. He Indicated to the
president the Intention of the committee to
consider the amendment proposed by Sen
ator Beverldge and adopted, practically
without division, by the senate, and to pre
pare a substitute for It that would "be fair
to all partlea concerned."
The attitude of Mr. Wadsworth was not
satisfactory to the president. In view of
the facts reported to him by Mr. Nelll and
Mr. Reynolds, the president Is of opinion
that immediate legislation of a drastic na
ture is necessary to cure the evils which
have been developed. He decided, ther
fore, to make public the Nelll-Reynolds re
port.
Aetton of Kansas City Exchange
KANSAS CITT. Mo., June 1. At the
annual meeting of the Kansas City IJve
Stock exchange today a resolution was
adopted advocating "a reasonable and prac
ticable Inspection of packing house pro
ducts," and that the packers should not
bo required to pay. for such inspection. It
was contended that to ask the packers
to pay for the inspection would not only
result in a burden upon'" the consumers of
meat, as, it was ststed. the packers would
increase the price of, their product enough
to pay for the Inspection tax. It was the
sense of the meeting that the present
method of inspecting packing house prod
ucts Is not satisfactory,
ARBITRATION IN ABSTRACT
Synopsis of platform Adopted by the
Lake Mohosk Con
ference. LAKE MOHOSK. N. T.. June l.-The
Lake Mohonk conference on international
arbitration today adopted resolutions peti
tioning President Roosevelt to Instruct the
delegates to the peace conference at The
Hague to urge three measures to the peace
and welfare of the world. The measures
are as follows:
A Plan by which The Hague conference
may become a permanent and recognised
congreas of the nations, wttn advisory
Dower. '
A general arbitration treaty for the ac
ceDtance ol ail natione.
A plan lor tne restriction oi armaments
and if possible for their reduction by con
current International action.
1 . - .. ...... a .
Dr. Daniel C. Oilman reported for the
special committee appointed laat year to
awaken interest In colleges and univer
sities. The conference voted to continue
the college special committee for another
year. .
A platform presented to the conference
by Oilman, seconded by Justice Brewer of
the supreme court and St. Clair McKelway,
waa unanimously adopted. It follows:
The members of this conference with
great satlafactton call attention to the
ateady progress which the world is making
In the promotion of international arbitra
tion. They place on record their appreciation
of the character of services of John Hay,
the late aecretary of atate.
Thla conference regards the approaching
assembling of a Pan-American congress In
Rio Janeiro aa likely to promote mutual
understanding and consequent good will
among the states of North, Central and
South Amerloa.
At the present time It Is Important that
public attention should be concentrated
upon the second Hague conference soon to
be assembled. We hope '.ha the confer
ence will elaborate ana propose a plan by
which like conferencea may be held at
atated periods, and that In the Intervals
appropriate officers may be maintained at
The Hague so that these conferences may
become a permanent and recognised ad
visory congress of the nations.
A general arbitration treaty to be formu
lated by The Hague conference is most de
sirable and will doubtlass be accepted by
all, or nearly all. the countries represented
In the conference.
Among other subjects of Immediate Im
portance the many unsettled questions arls-Ina-
out ot maritime warfare, Including the
exemption of private property from aeixure
at sea ana me npuirKUMimn l uvn
routes, are respectfully rommenaea to tne
consideration of The Hague conference.
As the general restriction oi armaments
can be aecured by concurrent International
action as unanimously recommended by the
British House ot Commons, we earnestly
hope that this subject will receive a fa
vorable consideration.
While we shall welcome any action taken
bv the coming Hague conference In the
way of clearly defining the righta and ob
ligations of belllgerenta aa to each other,
and aa to neutrals; of lessening the hornirs
of war. and of giving increased stability
and protection to the Red Cross move
ment. It is our hope that the conference
will remember that it la consecrated to the
great work of ending as well as aoftening
war and of subjecting the relations of na
tions to the dominion ot law rather than
force.

Hearing.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. June 1. (Special Tele
gram.) Congressman Pollsrd will en
deavor to get Senator Burketl'a drainage
bill before the house committee on Indian
affairs next Monday. Mr. Pollard has
been endeavoring to secure a hearing for
this measure for some time past, but as
conditions appeared bright for a hearing
the committee would adjourn and the bill
would go over. So Insistent, haa the con
gressman In the First district been for a
hearing that Chairman Sherman decided to
call a special committee meeting on Mon
day, when Mr. Pollard will present his
reasons why the bill should be reported
favorably.
There has been a respite from agitation
relating to the packing house situation
today, owing to , the approaching report
on the railroad rate bill and on statehood.
The packers have reinforced their posi
tion In the past twenty-four hours by In
sisting that they are in favor of govern
ment Inspection for the domestic output,
but are opposed to paying for said Inspec
tion, as It would work a hardship on them.
It Is thought that the Beverldge amend
ment will be amended so aa to put the
coat of Inspection on the government.
Chairman Wadsworth of the house com
mittee on agriculture said to The Bee
correspondent today: "We will settle upon
a bill which will be satisfactory to all
parties concerned. I do not believe the
hysterical condition which seems to pre
vail now should be permitted to control
the determination of this very Important
matter, and It will not control It. A bill
that will give fair play to the cattle
raisers, packer and consumer- will be
passed."
The secretary of the Interior is soliciting
bids for tho construction of the Corbett
dam located on the Shoshone river near

10. The dam will require about 10000 cubic

MRS. BLAINE DENIES STORY
Will Sot Question Legality of Dlvorre
of First Wife of Her
Huabaad.
SIOUX FALLS. S. D June 1. (Special.)
After having, for .some days persistently
refused to even see newspaper men or dis
cuss In any way the New York story to the
effect that she would endeavor to prove
that her husband had never been legally
divorced from his first wife, Mrs. James
G. Blaine, Jr., today, through her attorney.
finally consented to take notice of the
story. Her attorney stated:
"Should Mra. Blaine eventually decide to
Institute divorce proceedings, which Is by
no meana certain. It is certain that there
Is no Intention whatever of seeking to have
declared void the South Dakota divorce
granted the first wife of James G. Blaine,
jr."
The records In the d I voce case of the
first Mrs. James G. Blaine show that there
was a contest Instituted by her husband,
who thus made a legal appearance In the
case, but this was afterwards withdrawn
and the decree granted Mra. Blaine after
she had resided In South Dakota for a
period of fully a year Instead of the re
quired six months.

WILLING TO TAKE ANYONE BUT ROSEWATER
While' Prominent Republicans Heed
Editor's Growlnsi Strength. Fonta
nelles Are Ready to Trade
County for Seldsh F.nds.
The announcement that John t Webster
will not get Into the senatorial contest with
a delegation, following closely on the with
drawal of G. W. Wattles and C. J. Greene,
Is taken by politicians to mean they all
have had their ears to the ground and
heard the current of public sentiment turn
ing toward Edward Rosewater. The on!y
other avowed candidate. Senator Millard,
has been In a quiescent state and, so far
as any one knows, no move Is being mad
on his behalf.
Mr. Webster Is said to have written a
letter for publication, which was not given
out, in which he gave several reasons for
his decision. The controlling reason, how
ever, waa stated several times to different
friends. In response to their Inquiries, In
this language:
"Why have I decided not to put up a
delegation? What use would there be In
It? I am not going to spend my time and
money going after something that Is out
of reach. The situation here makes It
certain that Rosewater will control Douglas
county, and I am not going to let myself
be used without avail by those who merely
want to oppose Rosewater."
The little bunch of "antls" trying to got
ex-Governor Crotinse Into the field Is bent,
not on making Crounse, but on defeating
Rosewater, and these men admit they do
not care whether the senatorshlp Is re
tained In Douglas county or not. While
Crounae has been nominally making bis
residence In Omaha for two or three years,
he has never been regarded as an Omaha
man, and In all of his political campaign
has been charged up to Washington county,
where he formerly lived. The fact Is not
denied that these "antls" would like to
see the thing shape around so they could
swap the senatorshlp off to some outside
party In exchange for a governorship nom
ination for Charlie Saunders. They have
been looking for some one to finance their
schemes, having previously tried out Mil
lard and Wattles, both without success.
Matters Are SlmpllBed.
The decision of the congressional com
mlttee to have the congressional delegation
chosen at the same primaries as the state
delegation simplifies matters a little and
In all probability will Insure the renomlna
tlon 4f Congressman Kennedy without con
test. Douglas county Is to have 118 dele
gates In the congresslonsl convention and
eighty-three In the state convention, or a
total of 201 delegates to be elected at the
primary.
If Tom Blackburn's efforts to fore the
voters to make a cross mark for every
delegate should succeed, the practical re
sult ot dlsenfranchlsement la all the more
obvious, for It would be Impossible for each
voter to Cross his ballot toi times.
In the meantime the organisation of ths
movement behind Mr. Rosewater's candi
dacy for the senate is going on apace
Meetings of the ward committees are being
held almost every night and the orgnnlxa
tlon Is being perfected In each voting dis
trict.
Crounse Will Take It.
Lorenxo Crounse said Friday afternoon
"I have decided to be a candidate for
United States aenator. I have accepted the
endorsement of the Fontanelle club. Until
the meeting with my friends, who are active
In supporting my candidacy, Saturday
night, I will not have much to say about
It. I do not know that I shall be especially
active In my campaign."
Mr. Crounse will address the Fontanelle
club at an open meeting tonight.
County Clerk Haverly Friday morning is
sued a supplementary call for the congres
sional primaries, fixing July t as the date,
Chairman Jefferls of the republican com
mittee and Chairman Vail for the social
ists both filed formal requests for pri
marles on this date, and it Is understood
the democrats will do the same.
Candidates for places on the delegations
will have to hurry If they want a place on
the ballot, aa filings will be received not
later than 6 o'clock Monday evening for
both the state and congressional primaries,
Eight more republicans have filed their
applications for places on the ticket. They
are: W. J. Broatch, T. W. Blackburn,

Dividing Water District.
PIERRE, 8. D.. June 1. (Special.)-Btato
Engineer Lea has divided the differen
water divisions of the state Into districts.
Division No. 1. comprised In the countU
of Butte, Lawrence and Meade, Is divided
Into districts designated as Little Mi
souri. Grand river, Moreau river, Sulphur
creek. Belle Fourche and Elk creek, eac
district being given the name by the stream
it borders. Division No. I Is divided into
districts designated aa Battle creek, Fall
river, South Cheyenne, In the counties of
the southern hills; Kaat Cheyenne and Bad
river In Stanley county, and White river
In Lyman. Nothing haa been done in di
vision No. J, east of the Missouri river, as
nothing has been attempted to bring that
division under the provisions of the Irri
gation law. This work allows the definite
location of a water right by division and
district, and Is something which has been
a necessity ever since the law went Into
effect.

MADRID. June l.-Officlals here are be
ginning to believe two bombs were thrown
at the king and queen yeaterday and ex
ploded simultaneously. The scene which
followed was like that witnessed on a bat
tlefield. Corpses, pools of blood and wreck-
were strewn, upon the ground, and
ths house at Mayor street, before which
the explosion occurred, was carilallv
wrecked.

ONE ROYAL GROOM, who was leading

In the apartment of th duke c f
Ahumanda the Marchioness Tolosa and her
daughter wore killed. One body was jammed
In the balcony railing and was removed
with difficulty. No. M Mayor street was
surrounded by police who prevented In
gress and egress until they had been
thoroughly searched. A tenant on the third
floor and a young man who waa leaving
the house were among those arrested. The
crowd tried to lynch the prisoners and the
police only prevented It by charging.
Numbers of people hurried to the scene
to seek news of relatives, but they were
not allowed to enter the buildings. The
marquis of Tolosa Ignorant of the death
of his wife, was bne of those who arrived
and the guards at first refused to admit
him. Finally however, he was allowed to
enter and a heartrending scene followed.
Kins; nnd Queen Ride Out.
MADRID, June 1. 1 p. m. King Alfonso
and Queen Victoria appeared at noon In '
an open automobile and rode through th
main thoroughfares without escort. This
unexpected sight caused tremendous en
thusiasm among the crowd, who testified
tholr joy at their majesties' escape from
death yesterday by the wildest ovations..
The king and queen appeared to b calm
and undisturbed. His majesty Wor tha
uniform of a general and smilingly waved
his . hand to th people. There were no
troops in the streets, only a few scattered
mounted civil guards.
The searches made by the police dlsclos
the fact that the author of the outrage
was a man of luxury and wealth. , H left
many valuable and fine clothes behind him
In his hurried flight. He bought a bouquet
of flowers before the attempt and con
cealed the bomb within It. This bouquet
was thrown among the strewn flowers
upon the coach aa a greeting to their ma
jesties. The would-be asassin rented an
overlooking balcony at a fabulous prloa.
The individual arrested this morning and
taken to the Medio Dla police station
closely corresponds with the description of
the author of yesterday's explosion.
Weyler Badly Hurt.
General Weyler was seriously wounded
by the bomb explosion yesterday. Flv of
the woundod are dying.
The magnitude of the attempt on the
lives of King Alfonso and Queen Victoria
Increases. The number ot killed Is now
given at twenty and the wounded at sixty.
During the night thirty arrests were made,
but the person who actually threw the
bomb Is apparently still at large. The
ministry has decided to continue the fetes
for the present for the purpose of allaying
apprehension.
A Jeweled decoration worn by King Al
fonso was shattered by a splinter of the
bomb. Queen Victoria is Inconsolable In
sisting that she is responsible for so i.vany
pursona killed.
Kins' Coolness Marvelous.
The coolness of tne Voung king was
marvelous. On reaching the palace after
the explosion he sent adjutants to assist
the wounded and later sent officers among
the families of the victims doing every
thing possible to console and assist th
sufferers.
Queen Christina, the prince and princess
of Wales and the archduke and sreh
duchess Francis Ferdinand of Austria had
already reached th palace and were wait
ing for th king and queen with th In
fantas. When some time elapsed without
the royal ooach appearing the Prince of
Wales and Infants Theresa, who stood
waiting at tha palace entrance, became
deeply anxious and they were more dla
turbed when they saw the empty coach
arrive with Its bloody horses. But th
royal family were Anally relieved whin
they saw the king and queen arrive. Queen
Christina embraced them and uttered her
deep thankfulness at their escape. Th
Princess of Wales also was solicitous re
garding the victims and asked for In
formation about the fate ot the Marchioness
Tolosa.
More Attempts Threatened.
It Is asserted that letters were received
In government quarters laat night saying
this would not be the last attempt, as th
band of conspirators had declared Its In
tention to keep up the effort. This led to
i a discussion of the adjournment of soma
of the main featurea of tho fete In which
the royal family was to be conspicuously
present. The tragic event already has cast
a deep gloom over the festivities. Tho
people no longer show liveliness and
hilarity. There was a magnificent display
of fireworks with street singing and dancing
last night, but they proceeded with lack
of spirit. A pall seems to have fallen over
the community.
The proximity o' the coach of Grand
Duke Vladimir of Russia to the royal coach
at the time of the explosion led many of
the spectators to l.illee the attempt hsi
been against his life, but later it was gen
erally accepted th it It a us illri-ctcl aaalnst
