Entertain the Cortes.
A TumuIt Caused by the Treaty With
Great Britain.
An Army OF Workmen Likely to join
the Australian Strikers.

LISBON, September 15.-The assembling
OF the Cortes today caused great excitement
throughout the city, as a stormy debate on
the Anglo Portuguese treaty was expected
Shops and offices were closed and thousands
of citizens of all classes wended their way to
the Parliament building. The authorities
had taken precautions against disorder. but
official interference was unnecessary as the
crowd was good natured and well behaved.
Senior Ribeiro, minister of foreign affairs,
moved the adoption of the Anglo-Portuguese
treaty and began to read the various modif-
cations which the government had adopted
in order to assuage public hostility to the
treaty. Before he had gone far he was ST.
lenced by the Progressist minority, the op-
position members Kissing and hooting so Wig
0rously that the minister could not make
himself heard. Amid the tumult Major
Serpa Pinto arose and shouted to the Pro-
gressists. Hold your tongues" Upon this
s.ptag pFogTesslst ssl priest named Brandao as.
encounter ensued. The president was utter
ly unable to restore order and finally sus-
pended the sitting.
When the Cortes reassembled Senior Ri
beiro introduced the English convention
with the following notifications:
First-Commercial stipulations regarding rivers
shall not include the old province OF Angola and
the convention.shal apply solely to goods in tran
SIT; Portugal remaining free to Impose import and
export duties.
Second-The clause providing that no portion
OF the territory assigned to Portugal south Of
ZambeZi may be transferred to another power
without England's consent, shall be replaced by
a simple reservation giving England preference
In the event of a transfer.
Third-A neutral nation, instead OF England
shall appoint the engineer to survey the Pangiye
railroad.
The House referred the convention to the
committee on foreign affairs.

AFRICAN DANGERS.
The Death of Three Missionaries at
Sierra leone.

New YORK, September ia Washing
ton despatch to the Sun says: The Depart
ment OF State has received a report under
date of July 2Sth, from Vice Consul Cornell
us May, at Sierra Leone, Africa, in relation
to the death in that district of three of the
nine missionaries who left Topeka, Kan, to
prosecute mission work in the interior of th q
dark continent. Mr.. May says the missiona-
ries, on their arrival. hired a house in the
residential part of Sierra Leone, with view
h snd ass % 9ong f that point their
letter addressed to him by the landlord of
the house they were occupying, Mr.. May
learned that the party were practicing a
mode of living which is not only unsuitable
to Europeans, Americans, or foreigners gen
to their health. The peculiar nature of the
climate is such that unless the greatest care
is exercised the slightest exposure soon de-
velops into fever, the character of which
is short, sharp and decisive unless quickly
taken in hand by a physician acquainted
with the special treatment of African fevers.
From accounts obtained, Mr.. May says these
missionaries, who probably exposed them
selves, caught the fever, and as all of them
are said to be disciples of the faith-healing
tor nor take medicine. The first two who
were down with the fever were young men.
Mr. May says he was made to understand
that they were visited by no doctor. nor did
they take any medicines. The next victim
was lady, who was without professional
attendance until in the last stages of disease
and then without avail. The deaths of these
three missionaries in one week, and the pc.
culiar views held by those who remained
were naturally the subject of conversation
in the city. The vice consul says that these
missionaries have no distinct idea where
they are going beyond the wide fact th at
they are going toi"the interior of Africa and
the Soudan." The names of those who died
were, Mrs. Rebecca Kingman, aged %;
Harris, aged 81.

Robert Ray Hamilton's BODY Found
In Western Stream.

HELENA, Mont, September 15.-Robert
Ray Hamilton, whose trouble with his wife
and the latter's sentence to the penitentiary

the talk of the country a year or more ago
met an accidental death three weeks age, and
yet so effectually had he hidden himself and
his disgrace from the world that save his
own immediate family, no one besides his
old acquaintance who found his body was
aware OF his fate till Saturday.
About six weeks ago Hamilton came West
and purchased ranch on Snake river in Ida
ho,on the road into theY Yellowstone National
park. His object was to make it an outfit

he came West over the Utah and Northern
road, leaving the railroad at Beaver Canyon
and going East. After a little while he
came to Hamilton's ranch, but found the
telling the New Yorker that he had gone out
four or five days previous on a hunt with his
horse and taken his dog with him. Next
day Mr.. Green started out to look for Hamil-
ton, making up party for the purpose
On August 23d, about 30 miles from the
ranch, while riding along Snake river,
Green's attention was attracted to large
tree whose branches touched the water. Go
ing closer he saw the dead body Of Hamil-
ton partially concealed by overhanging
branches. His watch had stopped at o
O'Clock, and from its appearance the body
had been in the water four or five days. Mr..
Green recognized Hamilton Immediately, as
he had known him quite well in New York,
and in addition there were found in his
pocket, letters from his attorneys relating to
the divorce proceedings against Mrs. Hamil-
ton, and other papers concerning the wind
Ing up OF his business affairs In the East.
Mr.. Green had the body taken to the ranch
and notified Hamilton's folks and then con-
tinued his journey to the park. After his
trip to the park Mr.. Green returned to
Helena and told the above story of Hamil-
toms drowning. He said the unfortunate
man was evidently drowned while fording
the river few miles above where the body
was found. His dog and horse were dis
covered, the latter with saddle on, quietly
grazing
Mr.. Green was very much surpriZed on ar
rivlng at Helena to find that the public
knew nothing about Hamilton's fate
