A despatch from Toronto says : Two hours taken off the time dur- ing which liquor may be sold in hotels aud the prohibition of the sale of bottle goods over the bar to be taken off the premises, are the principal amendments proposed in the Government's liquor license legislation this year. The bill to amend was introduced by Hon. W. J. Hanna, Provincial Secretary, in- to the Legislature on Wednesday evening. It contains four clauses. Clause 1 seeks to define what is meant by "tavern license," which it is declared shall mean a license for selling liquor for consumption only on the licensed .premises in which the liquor is sold. Clause 2 amende the section of the act respecting shop licenses. Mr. Hanna pointed out that in Toronto a tavern license cost $1,600 a year and a shop license $1,000. The dif- ference between tavern licenses and shop licenses is carried through in large cities, but in smaller places it was the same for either. This amendment brings the price of shop licenses up to tavern licenses, and the Province takes possession of the increased revenue. In clause 3 it is provided that "any livery stable or other build- Ing to which the public are in the habit of resorting" is included un- der section 50 of the act. This makes it possible to prosecute where liquor is found on such a place, as the law now applies to boarding- houses or other places maintained Grain, Cattle and Cheese Prices of These Products in the Leading Markets are Here Recorded Breadstufls. | do., secondd. $4.90: do., strong bakera'. $4- 15 Ontario flours with i '0; do..

Canada, have ATTEMPT TO SLAY ALFONSO Spanish King, Confronted by Assassin's Revolver Saves Himself by Spurring Horse A despatch from Madrid says: For the third time in his reign, King Alfonso narrowly escaped on Sunday being the victim of an An- archist attempt against his life. Three shots were fired at tho King on Sunday afternoon in the streets of the capital by a native of Barce- lona, Rafael Sanchez Allegro, -who was immediately overpowered. King Alfonso owed his life to his own courage, quickness and skilled horsemanship. Accompanied by his itaff he was riding along the Calle do Alcala on the way back from the ceremony of swearing in the re- cruits, when a man sprang from the idewalk and seized the bridle of the King's horse with one hand, presenting a revolver point blank with the other. The King took in the situation at a glance. With lightning rapidity he dug his spurs into his horse, which reared violent- ly. His quickness saved his life. The bullet, instead of burying it- self in the King's breast, struck the horse in the neck, but so clone WM it that the King's left glove was blackened by the powder dis- charge. Before the assailant was able to pull the trigger again a secret ser- vice man sprang upon him. The two men fell to the ground locked in each other's arms, struggling furiously. The assassin managed to free his revolver arm and fired two more shots in rapid succession, but the officer knocked his arm aside and the bullets flew harmless- ly through the air. At the sound of the first shot the King's staff forced their horses on the sidewalk and made a ring around the assas- sin, who fought long and fiercely in the grip of four policemen be- fore he was overpowered and hand- cuffed. King Alfonso, as soon as lie saw that the man had been secured, raised himself in the stirrups, turned to tho crwwd, gave a mili- tary salute and shouted in a ring- ing voice, "Long Live Spain." He then dismounted and reassured his staff, s-iymjj; : ''It ks nothing, gen- tlemen." ix>r- step ready to meet her. Just a single hug and kiss and just a few expressions of supreme delight and Lady Scott and little Peter wont upstairs.
