At every station, including the hamlets where the train did not stop, there were burets of music from the native bands and cheers for the American commission and the partido federale. The ciowd at Malolos, the former seat of the insurgent govern ment, was smaller, in proportion to the population, than at the villages. At all the stops addresses were deliv ered by the natives, and responses were made by Judge Taft, the presi dent of the commission; Professor Worcester, General Flores, Chief Jus tice Arellno and Dr. Tavera. president of the Federal party. The natives re peatedly declared the people were be ginning to understand the purpose of the Americans, adding that the com mission's acts showed its promises would be kept. Judge Taft told the people of the towns in Bulucan province that a pro vincial government will shortly be established there The American party alighted at San Fernando, passed un der an arch of welcome and was greeted by the military and hundreds of children waving American tlags and singing “Hail Columbia.” The entire American party was then driven to Ba color, capital of the province of Pam- panga, where they will be cordially entertained tomorrow, and until apply ing the provincial government to Pam- panga, there will be a public discus sion of the laws enacted. General Grant received information that a band of Tarlac insurgents is ap proaching for the purpose of harassing the people of Bacolor. He has sent scouts out after them. UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

RIOTING IN MADRID. Laurier ExpUines the Relations Between Can ada and the United States. State of Siege Proclaimed In the Spanish Cap ital—Many Arrests Were Made. Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 14.—The address in reply to the speech from the throne was disposed of in two hours in the house of commons. During the debate ( R. E. L. Bordon, the leader of the op position, asked the premier as to the condition of affairs betweeu Canada and the United States in regard to the Alaska boundary and the joint high commission. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in reply, said that the position of the joint high commission is exactly the same as when it separated. The com mission is still in existence. When the sessions of congress and the Cana dian parliament are over, he expects that negotiations will be resumed and a satisfactory conclusion reached. He had no hope, however, of reaching a settlement in regard to the Alaska boundary. It was impossible to reach a settlement with the present view taken by the United States, but he thought an honorable compromise may be arrived at. It may be settled by an honorable compromise or arbitration. A third party may be called to arbi- t.ate. For the present, there is a pro visional boundary, which was also adopted in the way of a compromise. Madrid. Feb. 15. — Musio on the public squares and a general holiday had been arranged as today’s pro gramme of the Asturias-Bourbon mar riage festivities, but all this has been abandoned on account of the attitude of the populace,- With uigbtfall, every approach to the 1’uerta del Sol was jammed with the idle populace. Insulting remarks were hurled at the police and civil guards. A trumpeter sounded a charge, which was made with swards drawn. Heads were not spared, many persons weie injured, and there were numerous arrests. The scattering crowds sought the shops and hotels. All the front doors of the Hotel de l’aris were smashed in, a great crowd assembling there. The police and guards charged into the streets, but the dispersed throngs quickly reassembled. As was anticipated, the funeral of Don Ramon de Campoamor, was at tended with serious disturbances. Tho weather was beautiful and enormous crowds gathered along the route taken by the funeral cortege. Considerable disorder marked the passage of the procession, but the troops stood at strategio (Klints and prevented any very formidable outbreak until the end of the city was reached. At that point the demonstrators, who included many students, raised the cry of “Long live liberty,” and, having broken up into small parties, proceeded to various parts of Madrid to renew the demon stration. One band of students stoned a convent. In the evening fresh riots took place at several points. Gendarmes charged with drawn swords, and a number were bruised and wounded. The demonstrators replied to the charges of the gendarmes with a shower of stones. Altogether some 30 arrests were made during the day, including a mili tary officer, whose arre-t resulted in a protest by his brother officers, the mat ter being referred to the captain-gen eral. The authorities have warned the newspapers to abstain from the publi cation ot news or comments calculated to fan the present agitation. SUPREME JUSTICE SHOT. Tried to Prevent Two Men Searching His Home for Alleged Abductor. Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 14.—Chief Justice McClellan, of the Alabama supreme court, was shot in the right shoulder at his house this morning by either Jeise D. Beale or his son, Phelan Beale, of this city. The wound is a serious one. It is alleged that the Beales went to the house of Judge McClellan to find John McQueen, of Birimiugham, assistant solicitor of Jefferson county, whom the elder Beale charged with abducting his daughter, Caroline. It is alleged Miss Beale had not been at home all night and they had been informed that McQueen had been rid ing about in a hack with her. Judge McClellan attempted to prevent the Beales from going through his house in their hunt for McQueen. This they resented, and one of them, believed to have been the father, Bhot McClellan with a pistol. The Beales pursued their hunt and believed they had locat ed McQueen in a closet which was locked, and fired about a dozen shots through the door. McQueen was in the closet, but was in a narrow place to the side of the door, and was not struck by any of the balls. The Beales were arrested and held without bail.

Seattle, Feb. 15. — Mad with the effects of liquor and at the time infur iated with the thought that his com panion had robbed him of a sum of iiioney, James Flood attacked James Dorcey with a razor in a room in the Globe hotel at 10 o’clock today, and by the narrowest margin possible a murder was averted. Both men had been out on a spree all night and hail just entered their room, when suddenly Flood turned upon his roommate and accused him of stealing $50 of his money from a coat pocket. Dorcey denied it. Flood whipped out a razor, and made a slash at the aston ished Dorcey. A gash an inch deep and the full length of the fleshy part of the arm was cut. Terrified beyond measure, Dorcey screamed frantically for help. I’roprietoi Hewitt came in and tried to make peace.
