Milwaukee, Apr. 25.-A desperate
attempt was made to destroy
the Allis-Chalmers plant at West Allis,
or at least stop its operation for 4
tine. All that saved the big plant
from 1eavy loss was the automatic
sprinkler equipment which extin-
guished the flames before they gained
enough headway to be dangerous. The
attack was directed on the pattern

Lisbon, Apr. 75.-When King Miguel
was deposed a ruler Of Portugal in
1884, the crown jewels, valued 1t
81, ,00e. 900, were confscated and de-
posted in the Bank Of Portugal ~
the property Of the state Recently
the republican press has charged that
absolute proof existed that 4 large
portion Of these jewels had been sold
without tho consent Of parliament to
meet the skpsnses Of the royal house,
King Manuel thsreupon ordered that
an inventory b taken, and this proved
that jewels 10 the value Of $7So, 900
were missing. Ftrthermsre, tho ad-
ministrator of the royal house de-
clared that the government, which at
that time was controlled by the "rota-
tive" parties, had consented to the re-
moval OF the jewels. The governor Of
the Bank Of Portugal was ausstioned
and admitted the removal Of the pre-
cious stones, but he declared that
the sale had been made upon the urg-
ent demand Of King Carlos, who de-
sired to meet certain pressing debts
OF the royal household in order to
avoid . scandal After these facts
had come to light King Manuel sum
moned the minister Of finance and IN
nounced his intention Of personally re
funding the value of the missing jew
els to the royal treasury. The atti
