PORTLAND MARKETS, REVOLUTION THREATENS SPAIN General Strikes Called and Nation is Under Martial Law, Madrid Spain is face to face with a crisis equal to that following the riots in Barcelona in 1909. The agi tation and the power of the agitators on the masses have increased in pro portion to the rigor of the repressive measures undertaken by the govern merit. What, at its origin, was purely a labor movement, now has developed into a revolutionary conflict, a com mune having actually been proclaimed at two towns near Valencia and the authorities driven out The affiliated trades unions have decided to call a general strike all over Spain, and the government has decided upon the drastic step of "sus pending the constitutional guarantee" throughout the country. This virtu ally means martial law. Meetings have been forbidden. The military authorities, it is said offi cially, will not assume control except in extreme cases. At Bilboa troops fired on a crowd that was endeavoring to free prison ers, including strike leaders, who were being taken through the streets. Twenty-six persons were wounded. The situation is grave. King Alfonso has signed a decree suspending the constitutional guaran tee throughout Spain. This act, which had been under consideration for some days, was taken to give the government power to deal sharply and promptly with the revolutionary agi tation now fermenting in many parts of Spain, especially in the cities and industrial districts, where republican and revolutionary plans are being furthered under cover of workingmen's strikes. The most serious situation is at Valencia, where a general strike was declared. The city was at once placed under martial law, and though there was more or less rioting throughout the day, the authorities had matters pretty well in hand until after dark, when the disturbers vented their fury in an attack on the officials in the adjacent township of Cullera. The rioters murdered a judge and wounded other officials of the court which had been engaged in the trial of those arrested earlier in the day. The mob was finally dispersed by guards from the custom house. CANADIANS SEE TAFT.

Many Cross Border to Hear Talk on Reciprocity. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. President Taft turned from politics while here and spent an enjoyable afternoon in Sault Ste. Marie. He Bpoke from in front of the local armory, but confined himself to local topics. However, reciprocity, which the president so heartily endorsed, and which is a red-hot election issue Canada, was spoken of in the crowds which greeted Mr. Taft. This came from the fact that a noticeabla ele ment in the assemblage was the great number of Canadians who had crossed from the other side of the St. Marys river to see, as many of them humor ously put it, "the man who was going to annex Canada. Mr. Taft produced a profound lm pression on them with his genial smile and hearty handshake, as he said "A gentleman from Canada? Glad to meet you, sir." In his address at the armory, Mr, Taft promised the people of the "lock city" that he would give his attention to the waterpower situation here and would see that the long-disputed sub ject was settled.
