Tha assassin, who Is of Spanish birth, came recently from Buenos Ayrea. by way of Paris. .Almost nothing Is known about him. The King has appointed the Foreign Minister. Marquis Manuel Oarcla Prleto, as Premier pro tempore, and the- liberal government, which Senor Canalejas so conspicuously conducted for several years, remains in power.

As an attendant opened Jhe door lead ing to the street, a strong gust of wind struck the Premier In tha face, eauslng blm to exclaim gaily: "Oh, what a wind! We are going to have a bad day." About an hour later his prophecy was fulfilled. As he stopped for a moment at the shop window, a man rted from a nearby doorway. He up behind the Premier and fired four shots at close range. Three bul lets took effect. Death Follows Quickly. Canalejas sank to the sidewalk. A friend who was passing at' that mo ment rushed up crying. "Don Jose, Don Jose," this being the Premier's bap tismal name. The wounded man scarcely had strength to murmur, "The scoundral has killed me." He then expired. In the meantime his assailant turned the muzzle of the revolver on his own breast and fired again. A crowd quick ly gathered, while the assassin was . half dragged to the police station. The Premier was carried to a pharm acy and then to the Ministry of the Interior, where he was placed on a large marble table in the main salon. The blood flowing from a wound be- Cnd the right ear soon formed a pool Jthe floor. The King was informed 'the tragedy as he was leaving the palace to attend the crysanthemum ex hibition. He sprang into an automo bile and went to the ministry without escort. As soon as he reached the Puerta del Sol the crowd acclaimed him, crying. "Lqn g live the brave King." King Is Deeply Affected. Running upstairs, four sterfa at a pime. the King entered the salon and tent silently over the body of his late iitinlster.

The difference was made In the of ficial count of Sierra County, which gave Roosevelt 25 more votes than the unofficial count. T Is narrow margin 1b by no means secure. Although the state Democratic leaders asserted that independent can vasses on their part had produced figures nearly coinciding with those of the Associated Press, advices from the Govenror's office In Sacramento were to the effect that' returns there differed to a considerable extent. The official count, which began Monday, is far from complete and to night's figures necessarily were com piled from such official returns as were available, added to unofficial re turns from other counties.

Consequently James will live on water and what he can beg from other prisoners for the remainder of this week, while Arthur will have double rations.
