ALFONSO VISIT
UNITED STATES
Spanish King Invites Republican
Leader to Palace and Dis
cusses Reforms.
Madrid, Spain, Jan. 28.—Kid
lowing his plan to obtain opin
ions on political questions from
various parliamentarians, irre
spective of party, King Alfonso
received here the republican lend
er, Senor Ascarate, vice-president
of the chamber of deputies, with
whom he had a long consversa
t ion.
In his conversation with Senor
Ascarate, lie expressed great sat
isfaction over the efforts of cer
tain republicans to establish clos
er relations between Spain and
••Latin America and lie remarked
'he was considering a visit to the
two Americas.
The king declared he was op
posed to old age pensions and
said he would insist on the strict
est honesty in elections, the larg
est religious tolerance and de
velopment and improvement of
education along liberal lines. The
king said he considered the attri
butes of a modern sovereign sim
ilar to those of a president of a
republic and declared that hence
forth in the event of a minister
ial crisis he would consult lead
ers for the republican and other
anti-dynastic parties.
ny meeting me repumicun ii.mii
i?r, King Alfonso is considered to
.have brought about a revolution
jn the Spanish political system in
the direction of opening the doors
to anti-dynastic parties, the con
sequences of which it now is im
possible to estimate.
Deputy Melquiades Alvarez,
speaking at a great meeting of
republican reformers at Seville,
praised the king’s attitude in con
sidering public opinion. He said:
”1, who opposed the monarch
ist regime, ask your applause for
the adversary and invite you to
support the monarchy while he
perseveres in his duty.”
The postoffice department may
call for bitls to take the I 1,000
