And what about the Congress' vote to boycott every festivity connected with the Coronation (TIME...
...good omen in Spain last week that this distressing state of Miaja affairs ended without another such butchery as had already wiped out, in both White and Red territory, some 120,000 innocent non-combatants in Spain's savage, stalemated civil war (TIME, July 27 et seq.).

With a turn-out of no less than 1,300 excited Parisian and provincial shareholders, the meeting was as raucous as a stormy session of the Chamber of Deputies. It took Governor Emile Labeyrie three hours to get through his scholarly 90-minute report, so often was he interrupted...
