THINKS MONARCHY DOOMED
MASSES IN PORTUGAL READY TO
RISE, SAYS MAcHADo.
Opposition Leader Declares Govern
ment Could Not Cope with Real
Popular Movement.

Lisbon, Dec 4.--Bernadino Machado
who is regarded as the inevitable
choice of the Republicans in the event
of a change Of regime in Portugal. de,
clared Tuesday that the tranquility
Of the country was superficial, rather
than real, and that instead Of being
Indifferent to the political struggle
now In progress, the masses are pro-
foundly moved by what is happening.
The representative of the Associat-
ed Press had three hours interview
with Senor Machado, during which the
opposition leader expressed the CON
viction that the crisis through which
the country is passing had opened the
eyes Of the people to the manner in
which they had been governed in the
past and had sounded the knell of the
monarchy.
The real strength of Republican
sentiment never is apparent at the
elections, because four-fifths of the
people Of Portugal do not enjoy the
franchise" Senior Machado declared.
But now their political consciences
are awake and they have received an
object lesson which has destroyed for
ever the prestige Of the old parties.
My advices from the country indicate
that republicanism is rapidly becom-
ing almost a religion among the
masses.
Senior Machado considers the force
at the disposal of the government,
which he points out consists OF an
army OF 1900 men and a municipal
guard of 1900, to be utterly made
quate to cope with any real popular
movement, even If the soldiers were
disposed to coerce the people This
Senior Machado regards as more than
doubtful. He declares further tnat a
section of the Republicans were in fa-
vor of meeting force with force and
that they possessed not only arms, but
bombs.

SEEK MINERS; FIND BODIES
MORE THAN 80 DEAD WORKERS
TAKEN FROM NAOMI TRAP.
Work Of Rescue Is Retarded by Fear
Of Second Explosion--Frenzled
Women on Scene.

Pittsburg, Dec. 4.-Bodies Of more
than 30 miners caught by an explosion
Of fire damp Sunday night in the
Naomi mine Of the United Coal COM
pany, located near Fayette City, IS
miles south Of this city, have been
reached by the rescuers. All were
dead and their bodies were burned
and charred almost beyond recogni-
tion.
The rescuers are now nearing the
end of the workings and they have
found no sign Of life anywhere. in
the opinion Of the owners of the mine
few II any more victims will be found,
but among miners and others in the
village there is firm belief that
the total number of victims is be-
tween 40 and 80.
After finding IL bodies near the
twenty-ninth entry shortly before mid.
night, the rescuers went to work with
renewed energy to explore the remain
ing seven entries. There are 36 en-
tries in all, and until the last Of these
has been searched the full extent of
the disaster will not be known. Be-
cause of the accumulation of gas, the
work of rescue in the remote sections
of the mine is greatly impeded.
A second explosion is constant
menace and every precaution is being
taken to avert such a catastrophe.
Eleven bodies were found at entry No.
20 shortly before midnight, but were
not brought to the surface until morn
ing because the rescuers did not want
to delay the search by taking them
up and because 1t was desired to dis
perse the big waiting crowd that sur
rounded the shaft.
Scores OF frenzied women constant
ly surround the pit mouth, and the
special detail Of officers has much
trouble in keeping them from interfer.
ing with the work of the rescuers.
Many of these women would go down
the shaft and penetrate the workings
Of the mine were they not restrained
by the officers.
A large force Of physicians was hur-
ried to the scene Immediately follow
ing the first reports of the explosion.
So far their services have not been
needed for the men in the mines, but
they have not been idle. In fact,
they have been in almost constant
requisition on behalf Of the rescuers,
who, despite the fact that they work
in relays only a fraction of an hour,
are constantly being prostrated by the
fumes of the gas. A number of the
rescuers have been taken from the
scene in serious condition. -

IS A BOYCOTT
A CONSPIRACY
QUESTION COMES UP IN UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.
First Time Sherman Antitrust Law
Has Been Invoked Against
Organized Labor.
United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 4.-For the
first time in the history of the Sher.
man antitrust law, its provisions were
invoked today before,th United States
supreme court against organized labor.
In a case now being argued, the court
is asked to award damages to Dietrich
e. Loewe, a hat manufacturer of Ban.
bury, Conn, who alleges that he was
the victim of boycott by union hat
ters of America.
He asserts that the boycott was a
conspiracy in restraint of trade, and
is punishable by the Interstate com
merce commission under the antitrust
law.
The lower court decided that boy
colt is not violation, hence the ap.
peal to the supreme court.

Currency Committee Named.
Speaker Cannon treated the house
to surprise in announcing the mem.
bership of the committee on banking
and currency. This advance formation
of that committee led to the conclusion
on the part of many that it was his In
tention to press financial legislation
but those who are close to the speaker
say that his only purpose was to afford
depository for petitions and letters
bearing upon the currency question
Mr.. Fowler remains chairman. The
membership of the committee was In
creased by the addition Of one Demo
crat, making seven members of that
party on II, instead of six as during
the fifty.ninth congress. This is in ac.
cordance with the request Of minority
leader Williams, but 1t is said that II
Is not to be taken as an indication that
this request will be complied with in
all the other committees.
Both the senate and house adjourned
almost Immediately after the conclu-
sion OF the reading of the message. The
house adjournment was until Thurs
day. when it Is probable that II will
again adjourn for the week.
Oklahoma Senators" Present.
Mr.. Gore and Mr.. Owen, the gentle
men chosen by primary election to rep.
resent the new state OF Oklahoma in
the senate, appeared on the floor OF
the senate and occupied the seats set
apart for them, listening to the presi-
dents message. Tsis was a plain ex.
tension Of what is known as senatorial
courtesy, inasmuch as neither senator
has yet been legally elected to serve in
the senate.
The Democratic senators held con-
ference after the adjournment of the
senate Tuesday and elected Senator c.
A. Culberson of Texas chairman of the
Democratic caucus. This position
carries the nominal leadership of the
minority on the floor of the senate.
Senator McCreary of Kentucky was
chosen vice chairman and Mr.. Owen,
the senator-to-be from Oklahoma, was
made secretary of the caucus.

New York. Dec. 4.-The extent to
which the restriction of business
caused by the furry in the money

November bank clearings, total bank

So, ,664, 4,851 ,522, a decrease of 29.2 per
cent compared with last year and
26.6 per cent under the correspond
ing month OF l90ys
The full force of the money market
disturbance is here shown and nearly
every city reports decrease as com
pared with both preceding years. At
many cities the decrease is very large.
The loss is greatest in New England
cities, middle Atlantic, middle south,
central west and at Pacific coast
points. At South Atlantic cities and
in the far west there is a decrease,
but it is not as heavy as in the other
sections.
There has been a comparatively
small loss each month this year, COM
pared with 1906, with the exception of
two months, but this loss was almost
wholly at New York city and was due
to the greatly reduced volume Of spec
ulative business in the New York
stock market and the lower security
values prevailing; in November, how.
ever, the loss is nearly one-third.
The larger cities in the United
States report decrease which is
especially heavy in New York, Bcs-
ton, Philadelphia, San Francisco and
New Orleans. Kansas City is the only
exception, and there small gain oc-

about $10,000,000 in liabilities as COM
