-^i PRINCESS ENA
SAVES CONYJtX
t-'X ^W'
Secures His Pardon as He
About to Start for
Gallows.
Madrid, May 28.The feature of to
day's festivities in honor of the wed
ding of King Alfonso to Princess Vic
toria, as the Spaniards term Princess
Ena of Battenberg, "was an automobile
parade in which the ro\al party partici
pated. Two hundred cars bqautifuUy
ilecorated with flowers and flags and
filled with pretty women in gay cos
tumes filed thru the streets, which were
packed with holiday crowds. On pass
ing the roj'al palace, King Alfonso,
Princes Charles and Ferdinand and the
Infanta Isabel -joined in the procession,
the kiug and princes driving in their
own RSX9. The route was to the Pardo
palace, where Princess Victoria viewed
the parade.
During the afternoon the king and
queen were received by the -members of
parliament and later thev drove an
automobile thru the palace park. On
the trip the king observed a soaring
eagle, called to the eamekeepers for
rifle and fired, but missed.
Mr. Whitridge, the special envoy of
che United States, will arrive here at
midnight.
Madrid, Mav 28.The first notable
\ct of Princess Ena of Battenberg since
her arrival in Spain to become the
bride of King Alphonso XIII., has been
to induce the king to pardon Fernando
Levera, who was condemned to death
after an exciting trial. The dramatic
circumstances under which the pardon
was given, as the condemned man was
going to the gallows{ attracts wide
spread attention and further augments
the popularity of Princess Ena.
The king issued a pardon and a tele
gram announcing the fact reached the
prison at Badajose half an hour before
the time set for the execution. The
march to the scaffold was about to begin
when a messenger brought word of the
pardon. There were remarkable scenes
of re-joicing. The townspeople formed
a procession and sang the praises of
their queen to-be. The people of Mad
rid also highly approve the princess'
humane intervention and the newspa
pers comment upon the coming queen's
first act as being one of mercy.
The Wedding Dress.
The wedding dress of Priness Ena has
attracted great interest in Spain, as it
is truly a Spanish production, in fabric
and finish, except for the wonderful
Brussels lace, which has been brought
to adorn it. It was a fancv of the
king and the queen mother that the
wedding diess should be made in
Spain, and the princess graciously fell
in with this patriotic sentiment. The
dres sis therefore one of the special
presents from the king and is a marvel
of elegance.
The silk was manufactured from a
special pattern in one of the large Span
ish silk establishments. It was made
up with all the aitistic skill of the court
dressmakers.
The silk is heavily oveilaid with won
derful silver embroidery, with soft frills
of the finest Brussels lace, said to have
cost $50 a yard. The laces were pub
licly exhibited before being put on the
dress and excited the admiration and
astonishment of the aristocratic ladies
of Madrid.
Orange blossoms are profusely used
with the silver embioidenes and laees,
for the corsage, and even in dainty
clusters along the train, which is four
yards long.
According to Spanish tradition the
bride must afterwards present this wed
ding dress to the Virgin de la Paloma,
the popular protectress of maternity.
The Royal Palace.
The ro-yal palace of Madud is doublv
interesting just wov, both as the place
from which King Alfonso goes to meet
his bride and as the future home of
the royal couple. The suite of apart
ments designed for the future queen
have been most lavishly prepared with
the richest art treasuies from the gal
leries of Spain.
But aside from this, the palace itself
is one of the largest and most sumptu
ous of Europe. It is built on the for
mer site of the Alcazar of the ancient
kings, fro mplans by the Italian artist,
Giovanni Bettirta Saechetti. The first
stone was laid in 1738 and twenty six
years afterward Charles III. took pos
session of the edifice, and began the
decoration of the interior. The expen
diture amounted to 300,000,000 reales.
Immense substructures give the pal
ace a dominant position on the Mauzza
nares river, and give it the appearance,
not only of a palace, but of a great cit
adel commanding the city. It covers
an expanse of 22,500 square miles, 450
feet on each side and 150 feet high. The
massive structure ia of granite thruout,
except the frames of the doors and win
dows, which are of marble.
Magnificent Entrance.
The entrance to the royal palace,
which is conceded to be one of the most
magnificent in the world, has been fur
ther enriched for the present occasion.
It is gorgeously carpeted and ornament
ed, illuminated day and night by
myriads of electric lights concealed
Within the rich gold cornices, with hal
berdieres in their brilliant uniforms act
ing as'guards.
At the first landing, serving as pil
lars to the balustrade, there are two
enormous lions of stone, the work of
the sculptors, Castro and Michel. It is
well known, that Napoleon I. had a jeal
ous regard for these lions on the day
that he admired them, remarking to his
brother that they wre better housed
than he himself PariB.
The high-vaulted ceiling contains
notable paintings by the Neapolitan
artist, Carado Gisquinto, heir of the
great decorator, Lucas Tordau. The larg
est and most important fresco, which
occupies the center, is an allegory for
the "Triumph of Eeligion, Assisted by
Spain."
The Salle des Ambassadeurs, where
the imposing reception will take place
after the wedding, is one of the most
splendid apartments of the palace, with
fittings or incalculable value. The
flooring is of different marbles, which
forrm designs the Italian stvle. The
walls are hung with crimson velvet and
-il armaments, the brightness of which
has been toned down bv time.
The enormous mirrors, which eame
from the roval factory of La Granja
nre surrounded bv heavy gold frames
of the time of Charles IV and interven
ing statues of bronze and marble repre
sent heroes, pagan gods and allegorical
figures. Some of the notable adorn
ments of this remarkable apartment are

The,royal throne is under a superb
red canopy, situated above the steps,
carpeted in (he same color. At eithj*
side stand four gilt lions*represented**
controlling the "world.
The ceiling forms a "brilliant contrast,
being clear and luminous. It was exe
cuted by the famous Venetian paintei
Tiepolo, and is said to be one of the
most finished decorative works in the
world. The idea developed inthi vast
composition IS The Qlory of the Span
ish Monarchy," represented by a proud
matron seated on a throne and attended
by allegorical deities, contemplating a
sky peopled by numerous figures, among
them Mercury, the symbol of-material
prosperity.
In the corners appear picturesque
groups of types of the different Span
ish regions and the products of the
provinces Arranged in an allegorical
ensemble, the angles there are
sculptured medallions by Michel, rep
resenting the great rivers of Spain.
The imagination of some recent vis
itors to this gorgeous apartment has
led to the report that Princess Ena
greatly resembles the proud matron
seated on a throne, which forms the
chief decoration xepresenting the glory
of Spain.
Luxurious Furniture.
Many of the salons are decorated
with rich embroidered cloths, and the
luxurious furniture and ceiling were
painted by Mangs, Balyen, Velasques,
Vincento Lopex and Juan Rivera. This
furniture has been the slow growth of
the luxury-loving kings of Spain and
represents an incalculable outlay. Many
of the salons are veritable musemus.
Formerly it was not possible ade
quately to admire the beauties of the
palace, as its vastness made it rather
dark, but the modern innovation of
electric lights has brought out all its
glories Nowhere are the electric lights
used with more dazzling effect than in
the Salle des Ambassadeurs, with its
majestic thrones on which Alfonso and
his queen will soon be seated.
Princess Ena is said to take special
interest in the china hall not be
cause the royal china is kept there, but
becausethe ceiling and waHs are cov
ered with porcelain, the -joinings of
which are cleverly concealed by figures
in polychrome relief.
Dining Hall.
Another sumptuous salon is the large
dining hall, decorated with tapestry
woven in .gold and silk, by Panne
maker, in Brussels, for Philip II. It
is in six different landscape panels,
representing the amorous episodes o
Vertumuio and Pomona in a delightful
garden. Vertumuio is represented as
a Bacchus soliciting the favor of a
nymph, whose affection he finally con
quers
Besides the foregoing main apart
ments there are many others of great
richness. Some of them contain famous
collections of old clocks others, includ
ing the chapel, contain most interesting
relics of the Christian era. The old
tapestries of the palace, about 1,800
in number, have no equal either in
artistic execution or intrinsic value.
The library contains more than 100,-
000 volumes and 300,000 manuscripts,
many of them unique. Such is the
truly royal residence of the queen of
Spain.
DEMOCRATS LAY
CAMPAIGN ROPES
National Committee Will Enter
Fight to Change Complexion
of Congress.
Journal Special Service.
Washington, May 28.The demo
cratic national committee is to take a
hand in the national congressional elec
tion. A subcommittee appointed to aid
the congressional committee will soon
be at work. Mr. Johnson of Texas and
Mr. Woodson of Kentuckv have al
ready arrived.
The reason for this unusual action on
the part of the national committee is
said to be that if the democrats elect
the next house it will materially aid
their chances in the next president
election. The unregenerate now sus-
fs
ec that the congressional committee
too strongly imbued with Hearstism
and that the national committee wants
its pro-Hearst proclivities toned down
somewhat. About the Hearst complex
ion of the congressional committee there
is no doubt, any more than there is
doubt that the national committee is
anti-Hearst.
NEWSPAPER DIFFICULTIES
How the Dailies of San Francisco Have
Been Issued Since the Quake.
San Francisco Chronicle.
In the great effort to re-establish
business houses few can appreciate the
extraordinary efforts put forth by the
newspapers to serve subscribers daily
with the world's news.
Probably in no commercial enterprise
was greater exertion put forth than to
find new homes for the great San Fran
cisco dailies, every one of which was
completely burned out, and plants
wrecked. This drove the dailies across
the bay to the homes of smaller jour
nals, most of which operate with a sin
gle press and from two to five type
setting machines.
Commencing with issues of four
sheets the first d.a-y- after the earth
quake, papers like the Chronicle have
steadily grown until they are issuing
now sixteen-page editions. To do this
eveiy. nob printing office in Alameda,
Oakland and Berkeley, and, in faet,
every available machine within a radius
of ten miles of Oakland, has been
pressed into serviceand kept working
the full twenty-four hours.
As a sample of the manner in which
the sixteen pages of reading and ad
vertising matter was assembled in the
Chronicle today, ten columns were set
in a newspaper office in Alameda, car
ried by wagon to the composing rooms
of the Oakland Herald, from which the
Chronicle is being issued. Other papers
have had to resort to the same expedi
ents, getting part of their matter set up
in some instances twenty miles away.
The limited surpl of type and rape
the smaller offices to which San Fran
cisco dailies have been driven has also
been a great handicap. It has been
often necessary for a compositor to dis
tribute a story the same night it waB
set up in order to secure sufficient type
for another story for the same edition.

ly informed that a movement is under

revelations in connection with the pack

Ti campaigAmericandual has a pur
pose*to -prevent the sale of American
meats and als,Q create a sentiment which
will compel .the government to make
even more stringent regulations against
American meat products than now are
in force.
England, which hitherto has placed
no harsh restrictions upon American
meat importations, is arso awakening to
the grave character of the allegations
against the packing houses attributed
to Messrs. Neill and Eeynolds and there
is some agitation, which, unless ar
rested,'will grow and result injury to
the American meat trade, not only in
the British isles, but in the British col
onies, a nd rival exporting countries are
likely, to take advantage of the situa
tion.
President Is Firm.
The president regrets sincerely that
American trade is in danger of being in
jured, but, having put his hand to the
S" low, he does not feel he can relinauish
is grip until the furrow has been
turned.
He believes the official investigation
he had made and the corrective legisla
tion he hopes to secure will demonstrate
t6 the world that while abuses did ex
ist in the pocking houses, these abuses
iave bene eradicated and that their re
currence is impossible.
But in order that no permanent harm
may be done to the American meat ex
port trade, the president does not wish
to publish the report of Messrs. Neill
and Reynolds, and he wants speedy ac
tion upon the Beveridge amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill.
House Is Cautious.
The house of representatives does not
propose, however, to be rushed off its
feet. It feels, or at least some of its
republican leaders feel, that a condition
of hysteria has developed as a result
of the observations of two men who are
not packing house experts. It is not
the intention to act hastily upon a
measure which was drafted as a result
of those observations.
It has been disclosed that Mr. Swift
was in Washington some days ago and
had a secret conference with the presi
dent and Mr. Neill. Mr. Swift then
stated to the president he would be
glad to make any changes in his pack
ing house that experts might consider
necessary in order to put it in a perfect
ly sanitary condition. He declared em
phatically the condition of affairs
Messrs. Neill and Reynolds claim to
have found did not exist and said if a
commission composed of men of aver
age intelligence should investigate the
meat-producing business they would
find it was conducted in a proper and
sanitary manner.
Mr. Neill responded that he consid
ered himself a man of average lntelii
eenee and that as soon as he returned
to Washington, after his investigation
he gave instructions that no meat pro
ducts should be served on his table ex
cept fresh beef and mutton.
Washington Aroused.
Washington, ay 28.The passage by
the senate of Senator Beveridge 'a bill
for the government inspection ol aU
meat products which are the sublet of
interstate of foreign commerce has
arouesd more interest and speculation
here than any measure except the rate
bill which has ben before the piiblic
for a long time. Altho Senator Bev
eridge himself bases his elaborate plan
of examination upon revelations made
by the Garfield committee, it is stated
on good authority that Upton Sinclair S
novel ''The ungle," had more %p. do
with arousing the Indiana senator than
the Garfield report
It is common talk that no book pos
sibly since "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has
had so wide and immediate an eect "upon
the public mind as "The Jungle," and
altho the president took occasion to
denounce some parts of the book as
gross exaggerations, it is, nevertheless
certain that the Garfield commission
found enough of truth r. Sinclair's
assertions to -justify them in regarding
the danger from the stockvards as a
grave one.
Report Is Called For.
Journal Special Service.
Princeton, N. J., May 28.Upton Sin
clair demands the publication of the
report made to President Roosevelt by
Messrs. Neill and Reynodls on the evil
conditions in the packing houses of the
meat trust. "The packers' attitudo is
a confession of guilt, an admission of
all that has been charged against
them," says Mr. Sinclair. "Up to this
week they were maintaining their es
tablishments as clean as kitchens and
were violently opposed to the Beveridge
bill.
I know from the inside that until
they got wind of the Neill report they
had all arrangements made to ght. They
caused the whole, agitation among the
cattlemen which produced the 1,000 tel
egrams to the president, but the instant
they learned what was in the report
they surrendered and the bill was
rushed thru under the direct superin*
tendency of their agents in Washing
ton, in the hope of placating the presi
dent.
"If the whole hideous sore is laid
bare to the public gaze the public will
never agam afl asleep That 13 what
the people should insist upon. For onp
thing they will learn from Neill's re
port that the government is powerless*
to protect them against the local
slaughter abuses. It is up to every ctiy
and town to see to that for itself and
at present no one knows this or cases.
**If the public is to meet this situ
ation it must have theh facts. Per
sonally I do nuot believe that the presi
dent will be persuaded to consent to
suppression. His attitude thruout this
whole matter has been -one of the keen*
est and most determined interest in th
public welfare and I predict that be
fore many days he will have become
suspicious of the willingness of the
packers to sombit to his authority."
PRESIDENT'S PURPOSE
Will Push for Clean Packing Houses,
Even if Measure Fails.

Caldwell, Idaho, May 28 That the
details of the plot formed by the inner
circle of the Western Federation of
Miners, which resulted in twenty-six
murders and in the perpetration of
many other crimes, will be laid bare at
the trial begun todav of Charles H.
Moyer, William G. Haywood and George
A. Pettibone, who are accused of the
murder of former Governor Steunen
berg, was asserted by one of the attor
neys for the prosecution.
Soon after Steunenberg was killed a
reward of $10,000 was offered for the
arrest and conviction of those respon
sible, and two of the conspirators, Har
ry Orchard and Steve Adams, made con
fessions which implicated the three
men whose trial^ began today.
Altho the attorneys for the prosecu

sions of the two conspirators, it is
known that they will testify that the
death of former Governor Steunenberg
was part of a vast conspiracy formed
by the inner circle of the Western Fed

crimes which were committed as a re

six murders.
Orchard and Adams will admit that

VINE S&E1&&&& 800 PEOPLE
Trellis on Which It Runs Embraces an
Area of One-Fourth of an Acre.
Los Angeles Times.
In the Carpentena valley, half encir
cled by a picturesque range of the San
ta Ynez mountains, stands the world's
greatest grapevine-.
Sixtv-four years ago a Spanish woman
named Joaquin Lugodi Ayala planted a
small twig of the Mission grape. She
watched and tended it with jealous care
thru its early growth and in later years
kept it neatly trellised and trimmed.
Some twenty years ago the vine was
purchased with a plot of ground by Ja
cob Wilson, who has since denied it fur
ther compass by keeping it constantly
pruned. Its present measurements,
however, are by no means uninteresting.
At the ground the giant trunk measures
9 feet 9 inches in circumference. Five
feet above ground it has a girth of 7
feet 11 inches. At a height of 6 feet
the# trunk branches into five divisions
which radiate in different directions.
These five branches have a combined
circumference of 14 feet 11 inches, the
smallest measuring two feet and the
largest 4 feet 3 inches. Within a ra
dius of 18 feet from the trunk there
are twenty-nine subdivisions or runners,
each measuring from 10 to 21 inches in
circumference, together with countless
smaller branches. The longest runner
at present reaches the enormous dis
tance of 76 feet.
The trellis, which is entirely over
spread, is 100x110 feet in dimensions,
embracing an area of approximately
one-fourth of an acre. A company of
800 people are said to have at one time
found shade beneath the umbrageous
branches.
The vine is still in a healthy state of
growth, and. if permitted to do so, bids
fair to further enlarge itself by many
square rods. The largest crop ever yet
actuallv weighed out was ten tons, in
1895. This did not include miscellan
eous distributions to visitors and friends
of the proprietor. A common estimate
o he entre -y-ielel -was 24,000 -pou-ncls
Thet largeri clusters are reported to have
weighed nine to ten pounds each.

If, however, the fetnendmen^ is de
feated he will feel constrained in the
discharge of his offreiaji duty to the
public to end to congress the reports
in his possession relating toHhe abuses
existing in the packing houses. He
feels that it is better to refrain from
making the reports public, not thru
any regard for the beef packers par
ticularly, bnt because an official state
ment of the facts would injure tho
stock raisers of the country, thus mak
ing them innocent victims of a line of
abuses for which they were not pri
marily in any sense responsible.
The president discussed the question
with Senator arter of Montana and
Professor Neill, commissioner of labor,
who investigated certain packinghouses
and later talked over the matter with
Senator Beveridge. A part of the in
formation collected by Professor Neill
and Charles B. Reynolds of New York,
who collaborated with Professor Neill,
has been reduced to concrete form, but
the information in its entirety" is not

dictated the following statement:
"The meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has met
