MADRID, July 23. Republicans
of Spain arc frenzied with joy today
over the attempted assassination of
former Premier Maura, who was shot
last night' at the Francia depot in
Barcelona.
Republican membors of the cortes,
embodying the spirit of the people
hastily met at midnight, following
rumors of Maura's death. Later,
when it was learned that he was only
slightly wounded and would recover
they resolved upon a measure which
they intend shall throw open to in
vestigation the charges that Maura
was responsible for the Barcelona
mssacre last year.
Maura Much Hated
Without doubt Maura is the most
bated man in Spain, and since his
retirement from the ministry he has
been guarded by government agents
from those who have sworn to have
Ms life in payment for the wrongs
ho is alleged to have inflicted upon
tho people.
Maura was in the Francia station
ast night preparatory to leaving for
ilma. in the Bnleric islands, for the
rammer. His assailant, Rocca Aro-
wt, a driver, and leader of the labor-
tes, fired three shots, one of which
truck the former in the leg. As
Maura fell to the ground, friends and
police sprang upon Boca.
A woman, a cousin of Maura, was
the first person to reach the would
be assassin. She seized his arm, but
was unable to prevent his firing the
second shot, which went wild, and
the third, which wounded Senor Oli-
f ara. a friend of Maura.
Rescue Attempted.
Roca was pounced upon by
Maura's guards. Fighting desperate
ly, ho was home away to prison,
while Maura was taken to his boat,
bonnd for Majorca.
Boca's father and brother, with a
throng of adherents, attempted to
rescue the prisoner, but after a live
ly fight the police succeeded in dis
persing the mob and arresting the
father and brother.
Members of the Spanish cabinet
and leading loyalists in the cortes
foresee grave trouble from the at
tack on Maura. Roca was a close
friend of Francisco Ferrnr, who was
executed by tho government under
the administration of Maura for al
leged instigation of riots a year ago.
The government anticipated the
ittack on Maura by having the ex
jremier guarded and Roca shadowed,
loca eluded his followers and prob
bly would have killed Muura but for
ihe interference of the woinun. The
loyalists fear that the attack is but
tho beginning of a series of disor
ders directed at the overthruwal of
the monarchy.
Crown In Fear.
The significance of the attack is
shown when it is recalled that Senor
Iglesias, leader of the Republicans in
ihe cortes, recently declared from
the floor that Maura should be shot.
The government at that time dared
sot accept Iglesias' defiant chal
lenge to arrest him, fearing that a
subsequent inquiry might involve the
erown. The snine fear is again
bronght to the surfuce by the attack
on Maura.

Fishing Combine at Mouth of Rogue
Files Argument Against Closing of
River to Commercial Fishing, as
Was Expected.
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 23.
Otftlals of tho department of com
merce ami labor today admitted that
certain Immigration officials on the
Pacltfc coast have filed charges
against other otfclals lu the service
and that an Investigation Is under
way. Although the officials denied
that a shakoup Is Imminent, It was
admitted that Secretary Nagel posi
tively would take summary action
when ho visits the const next month.
"Tho troublo is of long standing,"
said an official of the department this
afternoon. "We do not think any
thing Is likely to dovolop ut the pres
ent tlmo ns a cursory lew of tho
charges does not Indicate that Uioy
ara well founded. Dut So 'rotary Na
gel certainly will Investigate the sorv
Ico when he Islts the Pacific coast."
The details of tho charges aro with
held, but It Is bollevod they Involve
the smuggling of opium from China
by Chinese. Tho frequent seizures of
tho drug In tho principal ports of
tho Pacific coast has led the authori
ties to suspect that quintltles havo
been successfully brought Into tho
country and that It may have boon
done with tho connnlvance of inspec
toro in the Immigration service, al
though tho customs service prima
rily is In charfc.o of the work of pro
venting smug-ling.
The dissatisfaction of tho Chinese
with the work of Immigration In
spector Hart H. North of San Fran
cisco Is belloved to have reached tho
department through high Chinese of
ficials here. North also had mado
enemies among tho laboring men In
San Francisco In connection with tho
admittance of Hindus to tho country,
and It Is roported that they also are
after the commissioner's scalp.

SALEM, Or., July 23. That a
strong fight will be put up by both
sides on the question of prohibiting
fishing in the Roguo river Is Indicat
ed by a negative argument filed with
tho secretary of state aaginst the
proposed statuto to stop fishing which
Is also aimed at the old fishing right
of the R. D. Hume estate on that riv
er. Signers of the negative argument
are E. A. Bailey, John R. Miller and
Herbert Hume. They contend that the
Rogue river Is not exceled In tho staite
as a placo for salmon fishing, with
the exception of the Columbia; that
private capital in erecting canneries
and clearing the river at the mouth
of tho stream had expended $250,000
and they contend that commercial
fishing at tho mouth does net Inter
fore with sport on tho upper river.
They maintain that two private hatch
eries owned by the estate pi R. D.
Hume and a cvernment hatchery on
Elk creek supply many times the
number of fish taken out.
