His majesty's second son, Prince Man uel, was wounded. Queen Amelie sprang from her seat and tried to shield Prince Luiz with KING CARLOS OF PORTUGAL. her own body, but was too late. She escaped unhurt. The police guard instantly opened fire on the regicides, killing three. The others escaped. Their exact num ber is unknown. Mobs are sweeping the streets.

Dictator Franco of Portugal Resigns to Avert Revolution. Lisbon, t"eb. 3.—Premier Franco has relinquished power and a new cabinet has been formed with Admiral Ferreira do Amaral as the president In the place of the late dictator, Franco. This step signalized the practical •withdrawal of Franco from power. He agreed to this measure as one calcu lated to pacify hostile public opinion at a time when only a spark was needed to inflame the whole country and hurl it headlong to revolution. It is nevertheless believed that Franco will still be the "man of power," but his official prerogatives are at least shorn of real authority. The opening session of the new council has been held. King Manuel II. appeared before his ministers and with a voice vibrant with emotion said: "I am yet without experience either In science or in politics. I place my self entirely in your hands, needing and believing in your patriotism and wisdom." The city is still in the throes of intense excitement and the authorities continue to follow unceasingly the de tails of the plot which culminated in the assassination of the king and his heir. Arrests are being made by the wholesale in Lisbon and all suspicious persons still at liberty are under po lice surveillance. NINE MINERS KILLED. Explosion Occurs in Colliery Near Hawks Nest, W. Va.

Asqulth, chancellor of the ex chequer, declared on behalf pf the pre mier that the government had no in tention of reintroducing the Irish coun cil bill. IN SPECIAL President Urges Necessity of Cer= tain Labor Legislation. FOR ENFORCING THE LAWS Refers to the Bitter and Persistent Attacks Now Being Made on the Administration. Washington, Feb. 1. President Koosevelt has sent a special message to congress in which he again calls attention to the abuse of injunctions in labor cases and urges remedial leg islation. The president klso recom mends the re-enactment of the em ployers' liability, act, recently de clared unconstitutional, limited in scope to apply only to interstate com merce. He refers at length to gam bling in stocks and futures and urges that action be taken to prevent, at least the making of large sales of what men do not possess and corner ing the market. In recommending tha strengthening of anti-trust laws he calls attention to the bitter and per sistent attacks on the administration now being made by corporations brought to the bar of justice for viola tion of law. On this subject he says, in part: The attack by the great corpora tions on the administration's actions have been given a wide circulation throughout the country, in the news papers and otherwise, by those writers and speakers who, consciously or un consciously, act as the representatives of predatory wealth—of the wealth accumulated on a giant scale by all forms of iniquity, ranging from the oppression of wage workers to unfair and unwholesome methods of crushing out competition, and to defrauding the public by stock jobbing and the manipulation of securities. The ad ministration and those who support its views are not only not engaged in an assault on property, but are stren uous upholders of the rights of prop erty. The books and pamphlets, the controlled newspapers, the speeches by public or private men to which I refer, are usually and especially iu the interest of the Standard Oil trust and of certain notorious railroad com binations, but they also defend other individuals and corporations of great wealth that have been guilty of wrong doing. It is only rarely that the men responsible for the wrongdoing them selves speak or write. Normally they hire others to do their bidding or find others who will do it without hire. Every Honest Measure Opposed. From the railroad rate law to the pure food law every measure for hon esty in business that has been passed during the last six years has been op posed by these men on its passage and in its administration with every resource that bitter and unscrupulous craft could suggest and the command of almost unlimited money secure. But for the last year the attack has been made with most bitterness upon the actual administration of the law, espe cially through the department of jus tice, but also through the interstate commerce commission and the bureau of corporations. The extraordinary violence of the assaults upon our pol icy contained in these speeches, edi torials, articles, advertisements and pamphlets and the enormous sums of money spent in these various ways, give a fairly accurate measure of the anger and terror which our public ac tions have caused the corrupt men of vast wealth to feel in the very mar row of their being. We act in no vindictive spirit and we are no respecter of persons. We seek to stop wrongdoing and we de sire to punish wrongdoers only so far as it is necessary to achieve this end. We seek to control law defying wealth in the first place to prevent its doing dire evil to the republic and in the next place to avoid the vindic tive and dreadful radicalism which, if left uncontrolled, it is certain in the end to arouse. The methods by which the Standard Oil people and others have achieved great fortunes can only be justified by the advocacy of a system of morals which would also justify every fprm of criminality on the part of a labor union and every form of violence, cor ruption and fraud, from murder to bribery and bailot box stuffing in poli tics. BLOW AT LABOR BOYCOTTS Supreme Court Holds Them in Viola tion of Anti-Trust Law. Washington, Feb. 3.—That section 7 of the anti-trust act awarding to the complainant three times the amount of damage sustained by a combination in restraint of interstate trade can be in voked to prevent a boycott by organ ized labor was held in a decision by the supreme court of the United States in the case of Loewe & Co., hat manufacturers of Danbury, Conn., vs. Martin Lawlor and 200 other members of the United Hatters' union of that city. The decision of the court was announced by Chief Justice Fuller and reversed the holding of the United States circuit court of appeals for the Second circuit*, The opinion of the court was unanimous and n6 dissent ing view was presented. "We think," said Chief Justice Fuller in conclusion, "that a case within the statute was set up and that the demurrer should have been overruled-" The decision, therefore, reversed the ruling of the lower court and the ease was remanded fer rehearing. Jury Holds Thaw Insane'When He Killed Stanford White. MENACE TO PUBLIC SAFETY Justice Dowling Declares Evidence in Case Indicates Recurrence of Disease Reasonably Certain. New York, Feb. 1.—Acquitted of the murder of Stanford White on the ground that he was insane at the time of the commission of the homi cide Harry K. Thaw was ordered by Justice Dowling to be committed to the Matteawan asylum for the crim inal insane until such time as he can convince the state lunacy commission that his being at large will not endan ger the public safety. Thaw was led back to the Tombs across the "bridge of sighs" and several hours later was taken to Matteawan. Both Thaw and his wife, the latter being the only member of the family in court when the jury unexpectedly returned its verdict after a delibera tion of twenty-five hours, seemed pleased and satisfied with the outcome of the case. Thaw stood and smiling ly bowed his acknowledgments to the jurors as they filed one by one out of the box. District Attorney Jerome also seemed satisfied, as he has contended ever since the crime was committed that Thaw was medically, if not le gally, insane. Thaw's counsel thanked the jurors with a hearty handshake for each one of the twelve. Attorney Littleton also filed an exception to Justice Dowling's decision in retaining Thaw in custody and committing him to the asylum. The jurymen all refused to divulge the secrets of their deliberations fur ther than to Say that fourteen'ballots vere taken. Dangerous to Public Safety. In announcing his decision to send Thaw to Matteawan Judge Dowling said: "The only testimony in this case upon which a verdict of insanity could be based was to the effect that the defendant is suffering from a manic depressive form of mental de rangement. This testimony and the diagnosis of the form of insanity was based upon prior outbreaks of the de fendant as testified to by witnesses from London, Monte Carlo, Paris and Albany. It also appears from the tes timony, and the court was careful to inquire as to this, that recurrences of these attacks are reasonably certain. There has been no testimony adduced here to show that a person suffering from this form of insanity ever can be permanently cured. It appears, how ever, that during the maniacal form of the disease the person suffering therefrom is likely to commit danger ous assaults or murder. There is dan ger also of suicide. "Therefore, upon all the testimony in this case, the court deems that to allow the defendant to go at large would be dangerous to the public safety. The decision of the court is that the defendant shall not be dis charged, but being in custody shall be so held and committed with all dis patch to the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan. The sheriff of the county is directed to take custody of the defendant and deliver him to the state authorities at Matteawan." WILL REPLY TO CRITICISMS President Preparing Letter on Subject of Appointments. Washington, Feb. 1.—The excite ment aroused by the president's spe cial message to congress will be dupli cated within a few days by the publi cation of a letter from Mr. Roosevelt to William Dudley Foulke of Rich mend, Iiid., on the subject of nomina tions sent to the senate.

The five persons who lost their lives were asleep on the third floor and all save Mrs. Bert were burned to death in their rooms. Evi dently they had been suffocated and none apparently had even made an attempt to escape. Before the firemen arrived the building was a mass of flames and the rooms on the upper floors could not be entered. Mabel Porter and Nina Graves, two of the dead, occupied a room together. The injured slept on the lower floors and in the basement. Most of these es caped without aid, fighting their way through the flames and smoke. The fireriien were able to rescue others from the burning building. Former Head of G. A. R. Dead. Rockford, 111., Feb. 3.—Colonel T. F.

OF COHERED DIES 10 SAVE OTHERS Heroic Deed of Itasca County Boy Costs Him His Life. HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE Rescues His Younger Brother and Sis ter but Is Overcome by Smoke and Cremated. Clifford Cook, a farmer's son, gave his life in the rescue of his little brother and sister from a Are that de stroyed their farm home near North ome, Itasca county. Awakened by the heat and noise of the flames and the suffocating smoke the lad, with thought only for the oth ers in the home, dashed to the bed of the children, who a few moments later would have perished. Seizing the little ones he groped his way to a window and dropped his precious burden to the ground. But it was too late for him to make the leap to safe ty. Or perhaps he had turned back again in an attempt to save his parents. He was overcome and was cremated. Mrs. Cook jumped from the window of the upper floor and was badly cut by glass about the face, hands and limbs. Mr. Cook attempted to enter the building and was terribly burned about the face and hands. Both parents are in a precarious condition. The two youngest children, who were thrown out of the window by their brother, were only slightly in jured. Mr. Cook is manager at Northome for the Stone-Cook Lumber company. His farm is a mile from Northome. POWER FOR THREE CITIES Plan to Dam the Red River Near Hal stad, This State. A number of prominent men of the Red River valley have formed a com pany which has as its object the erec tion of a big dam on the Red river near Halstad, this state, at the junc tion of the Red rivor and the Wild Rico river, and if they are allowed to carry out the project it will mean the construction of the biggest power plant in that section of the country. There is a possibility that the erec tion of the dam will be frowned upon by the United States government, as it is not clearly demonstrated that this stream is not navigable to that point. However, such is the interest taken in the project by those who have taken it up that they will send a man to Washington at once to ascer tain the government's attitude. The banks of the river at the point of the proposed dam are high and the river is narrow, forming something of a rapids, and a competent engineer re ports that enough power can be de veloped from this one dam to supply all of the power needed in the cities of Fargo, Crookston and Grand Forks. SUPREME COURT THE ISSUE Minnesota's Attorney General on the Presidential Campaign. That the appointments to the Unit ed States supreme court are the real bone of contention in the presiden tial campaign was the argument of Attorney General E. T. Young in a speech before the Fourth Ward Re publican elub at Minneapolis. Or ganized predatory wealth, he charged, is seeking the nomination of presiden tial candidates who will appoint judges sympathetic to the idea of the cen tralization of power in the federal government. There are four judges on the bench now who on account of age and infirmity will probably retire during the next presidential term. It is important, he asserted, that men be nominated for the presidency who will not appoint judges favorable to the idea of the centralization of govern ment. FIVE PERSONS INJURED. Collision of Trains on Minneapolis and St. Louis Road. A rear end collision occurred in the Minneapolis and St. Louis yards at Waterville betwen the Twin City local and the North Star limited and five persons were seriously injured. The first train, which was behind time, stopped to fix a hot box and the second train, running on time, crashed into it. The rear coach of the first train and the engine of the second were heavily damaged, but the track was soon cleared and the trains went on except one sleeper, which had to be sidetracked. Centenarians Called by Death' Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zejdlik, the two oldest residents of Marshall county, are dead at Warren.

Judging from the railroad reports already received by State Auditor Iverson the state will, receive, less in the gross earnings taxes this year than it did in 1906.
