LISBON, Sept. 15.-The reassembling
of the Cortes today caused great excite
ment 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 parlia-
ment buildings. Soon after the open
ing of the Cortes, Ribeiro, minister Of
foreign affairs, moved the adoption of
the Anglo-Portuguese treaty. He
began to read the various modifica-
tions which the government adopted in
order to assuage public hostility to the
treaty, but before he had gone far, was
silenced by the Progressist minority.
Amid the tumult Major Serpa Pinto
arose and shouted to the Progressists /:
'Hold your tongues" Upon this a
Progressist priest, namendi Brandae,
assaulted Serpa Pinto, and a lively
pugilistic encounter ensued. The presi-
dent, unable to restore order, sus-
pended the sitting. When the
Cortes re.assembled, Ribeiro introduced
the convention, with certain modifca-
tions. 1t was referred to committee,
whereupon the Progressists moved that
Lieutenant Continho, who seized Brit
ish steamer at Chiromo, deserved the con-
fdence of the country. The sitting was
concluded in an orderly manner.

SWEATED COINS.
Any One May Pass Them But the Sweat
ers Are Culpable.

SAN Francesca, Sept. 15.-United
States Commissioner Sawyer today de-
cided in the case of John j. Brown,
charged with sweating $40 gold pieces,
that under the United States stat
utes he could not be convicted. The
statute provides for the punishment of
persons mutilating or sweating coins,
but not for the punishment of those
having such coin in their possession, or
passing it. Browns method was to
place 500 gold pieces in an electric bath,
and the rapid chemical action extracted
about twenty grains of gold from each
coin. The coins were not mutilated,
and their lightness could only be de-
tected by experts. Under this decision
any one can pass sweated coins without
fear of prosecution.
