This book not only gives list of all

This book contains information

Of the president who appointed them.

moved by the president only with the
consent of the senate. Few know that

THE DECISION TO MCFARLAND.
Referee Hogan Thought the Chicago
Fighter Did Best Work.

Milwaukee, Feb. 22-Packy McFar-
land of Chicago won the decision from
Freddie WEIGH OF England in their ten
round battle before the Badger A. C.
last night. The fight was one of the
fastest and most scientific ever pulled
on In Milwaukee. Welch's defense and
footwork were marvellous, and from the
first round. when he was visibly ner-
vous, he put up a wonderful fight. Nc
Farland forced the fighting all the way
which alone won him the decision. "a
only once during the rounds was WEIGH
in any trouble. A series of right swings
to Welch's head in the seventh round
made him groggy, but he recovered
quickly, and in the eighth round opened
up bad cut over McFarland's eve,
which slowed the Chicago man during
the rest OF the battle. The decision was
not well received by the large crowd
present, the majority thinking WEIGH
had at least earned a draw Malachy

PORTUGAL TREMBLES.
Great Precautions Taken to Prevent q
Popular Outbreak.

Lisbon, Feb. 22.-The greatest precau-
tons are being observed in Lisbon to
insure the maintenance Of order. It is
evident that the government fears an
outbreak Of some kind, but up to the
present time no disturbances have been
reported. The soldiers are being kept
in their barracks. The Duke Of Oporto,
accompanied by a strong escort, makes
frequent Inspections Of the various gar
rtson posts. All the public buildings,
including the Bank of Portugal, are o.
cupied by heavy attachments of the
municipal guard. The commerce Of LIS
bon reflects the secret uneasfness of the
people and is quite Iifeless.
Ell Seculo today says that King Man.
uel, Premier Ferrera, the governor Of
Lisbon, and General Lopez. commander
Of the municipal garrison, had a long
conference last night, regarding the sit
uation. This paper expresses the opin-
ion that everything indicates that the
government is in fear of armed revolu-
tionary outbreaks.
The political situation in which the
government finds itself today Is ex-
tremefy critical and there is much un-
eas1ness as to the outcome. The gov
eminent is fairly caught between two
fires, the renewal of the popular agita-
ton for increased liberties on the one
hand and the reactionary conspiracy on
the other and 1t seems to be trying. to
fight both at the same time. A prom
inent politician, who was involved with
the reactionaries, has been sent out of
the country to the Azores. The govern
ment is considering a plan which in
cludes the postponement Of the general
elections fixed for April and in their
stead to summon the parliament that
was dissolved last year

to be critical and the gunboat Zaire has
