Manila, May 12.-The disarming of
the Basilan Moros is progressing with
out serious trouble. The Lanao dis
tricts are quiet. The trouble against
which the troops were recently operat-

A pitched battle ensued between
the employees of the paper and the

The police were summoned, and
when they appeared on the scene,

Nevada Railroads Getting Busy

That the railroad companies operating in Nevada will make
herculean efforts to elect a friendly Legislature next Fall was made
patent at the special session this Winter, when the chief lobbyist OF
the Espee remainedin Carson throughout the session working for the
passage of a bill permitting all State and county officers to ride on
passes, which was prohibited by the Railroad law passed last VIM
ter. The reason the railroad companies are so anxious to be allowed
to furnish free transportation to members of the Legislature, County
Commissioners and Assessors, is SO obvious that to explain 1T would
be to insult the intelligence of an imbecie. Why self-respecting
men, holding positions of public trust, will place themselves under
obligations to any man or combination of men when they know that
the courtesy" as it is euphoniously called, is extended for a selfish
purpose, is really amazing. Yet it is alamentable fact that the men
who refuse these indirect brides are the exceptions and not the rule.
That the Pass bill would have gone through at the special ss-
sion of the Legislature and become a law, had the bill not been
smotheredi in committee, cannot be gansaid. To Senator W. j. Bell
of Humboldt County is due all the credit for defeating the infamous
measure.
Ali honor to Senator Bel, than whom there is no bigger, BRAY
er, stronger man in public life in Nevada to day; may his tribe in
crease and wax strong.
The battle is now on between the people and the railroads of
Nevada for supremacy and, unless the people stop dollar-chasing
long enough to give a little attention to public affairs, the railroads
are going to win-Ely Exposition.

Facts About Troubled Portugal

The ewes of the world have been drawn to little Portugal by
the tragedy enacted there on Saturday last, when the King ana
the Crown Prince were shot to death, and the second son, Manuel
since proclaimed King, was wounded by hired assassins.
Events have been moving rapidly in Portugal during the last
few months. saws the Salt Lake Herald. Intense opposition had
risen to the prime minister. Franco, who is really the nations dc
tator. His control over the late King was absolute. Whether or
not the result of the assassinations will be a Portuguese repuohc
mist be left for the events of the future to determine.
Portugal has seen much of disorder and of bloodshed since its
foundation. 1t was originally included in ancient Lusitanla. In the
year 1895 it was made a c~ountship feudatory to Alfonso vi OF Cas-
tile. and in 1889 it became a kingdom. Portugal grew INTO promt
renee as a maritime power during the fifteenth and sixteenth Gen.
turtles. and for this Spain was in a large measure responsible, be.
cause Spain conquered the country in 1880.
In 1907 Portugal was invaded by the French, who would have
conquered the country had not aid been extended by Great Britain
There was a revolution in 1920 that compelled the flight OF King
John to Brazil; he returned with the royal family in 1922, when a
constitutional government was inaugurated. In very recent years
Portugal has had complications with Great Britain over African
claims which, however, have been adjusted without serious difficulty
The entire kingdom is considerably smaller than the State OF
Utah indeed it lacks about 65 per cent of being as large as this
State. The territory of Portugal covers 34O3S square miles, while
Utah extends over $4,000 square miles of territory. The country
is bounded on the north and east by Spain. and on the south and
west by the Atlantic ocean; it contains several low mountain ranges;
the highest peak being 5000 feet
The exports from Portugal include cork. fish, livestock and cop
per bullion. Its commerce is with Great Britain, Brazil, France
and a small portion with the United States, the bulk Of the exports
being to Brazil, which is largely peopled by the Portuguese. There
are eight providences in Portugal proper. The Legislative power is
vested in the Cortes. Portuguese is spoken and the Catholic religion
largely predominates.
Among her possessions are the Azores, Madeira, Cape Verde
Islands. Angola, Damoa, Timor and Macao. There is also a colony
in East Africa. The population of Portugal was said in 1890 to be
slightly more than five million. 1t is believed now to be approx
imately eight millions

Sacramento Bee: II is not unlikely, as stated in a recent dis
patch from New York, that Hartman and Gould have reached an
agreement by which any further conflicts between the Western Pa
cifc and Southern Pacific will be avoided.
Such is the tendency of railroad competition. A new line is
fought bitterly until it becomes established and assured of success.
Then the heads of the rival corporations get together, patch up a
working agreement, and unite to make as much money as possible
out of all the traffic in sight.
Hartman got in harmony with the Sante Fe by buying a large
proportion of its stock. He has effected a "mutuality' of interest
with other roads and systems in like fashion. When the opportun-
ity offered he gobbled the Salt Lake and Los Angeles road. Some
day he may swap a block Of Southern Pacific stock for a block of
Western Pacific, and then everything would be lovely between the
two lines, unless the Interstate Commerce Commission should med
die with the transaction.
Elko Independent: 1t is reported that the National Express
Company is negotiating with the Western Pacific for the express
business on its line. The people of Nevada earnestly hope that
the Western Pacific will be a competitor in the express business as
well as in passenger and freight traffic. They have been held up SO
long by the Wens-Fargo Company that even a change of robbers
will be heartily welcomed,

Patsy Dwyers Bloody Record

When Patsy Dryer murdered A. G. Williams at Austin, Nevada,
that made the third notch on his gun. He was twice before given
life sentences for murder and as many times liberated by pardons
The two former murders were committed in Montana. For the first
one he had served upwards of two years, when Mayor Gillstrap of
Great Falls was instrumental in securing his pardon. Gilstrap was
a labor union organizer, being one of the founders of the American
Railway Union which has its place in the annals of labor troubles.
1t was only a few months after Dryers liberation that he got into a
quarrel with a man at Nihart, Montana, killed his man and got
another life sentence. He served Is months when Gillstrap got an
other pardon for him.
After coming to Gold6eld he got into a fracas there and beat
his antagonist almost to death with a revolver. He was arrested,
but Ginstrap happened to be at Goldfeld and got Dryer out of
trouble the third time.
In the murder of Williams it was not necessary for Gillstrap
to intercede, the Elko jury made that s%uperhuous.
When under the influence of liquor Dryer has an absolutely
ungovernable temper. The taste of liquor crazes him, and his action
in going after a gun to kill William OBrien and killing the first man
that looked to him like OBrien is typical of him. Yet, like all
other beings, he has his friends who profess to see good and gener-
Gus traits in the man, and it is even said that they would go to any
length to save him from execution of as many murders as he might
commit-Carson News.
