In Fire-Governor Hughes New
York's Candidate-secretary Taft's
Recommendations.
A boy king, who henceforth will be
known as Manuel H., is today the
ruler Of the kingdom of Portugal, and
the revolution into which the instiga-
tors of the bloody events had hoped
to plunge the country has not yet in
the least engulfed the nation.
All Portugal is overwhelmed at the
killing of the king and the crown
prince. Though torn by dissenslons
the past few months, terrorized by
crime and bloodshed, uprisings in
the streets, outrages with knife and
bomb, and always fearful lest these
signs Of revolution would eliminate
in some dreadful outburst of passion,
Portugal was not prepared for the
blow that fell Saturday when King
Carlos and Prince Luiz Philippe were
shot to death in public place. where
thousands had gathered to greet their
home coming.
Early Sunday morning Premier
Franco proclaimed the accession of
Prince Manuel to the throne; the ma
val and military chiefs and high dig
ntares of state swore allegiance to
the new king and Portugal still lived
under a monarchy.
No more beautiful day could be
imagined than that which hereafter
will make the date on which King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz met
their death at the hands of assassins.
Returning from a sojourn at the
kings estate at Villa Vicosa, accom-
panied by the queen, the crown prince
and the Infant Manuel, the sovereign
seemingly was in happy mood when
he stepped into the carriage in wait
ing at the railroad station.
The assassins, numbering six in all,
boldly ran up to the sides OF the car
riage and poured in hail of lead be-
fore the stupefied escort could inter-
vene. The king and crown prince,
half rising. fell back into the cush-
ions. the blood gushing from many
wounds.
The coachman brought his whip
across the flanks OF his horses and
with bound they dashed away, dis
appearing into the Arsenal quad
rangle. The panic stricken people,
who had fed on all sides. could see
the queen leaning over the crown
prince and her younger son. who also
was bleeding from wounds.
Only mounted police accompanied
the carriage, as the king had refused
military escort. The attack came
from the rear, for it was found after
wards that the king had been shot in
the back of the neck, and it was so
entirely unexpected that the muir
derers had emptied their carbines
and revolvers almost before the po-
lice knew what was going on, and
had turned to flee into the crowds
that now panic-stricken. had pressed
back before their weapons. Then the
guard charged upon them,' pursuing
them down the streets and riddling
three of them with bullets. Hun
dreds of the people Joined in the pur-
! suit and the others of the band Of as
saSSins were made nrisoners

TWO MEN BLOWN TO ATOMS
IN GALENA MINE.
jim Mitchell and viii Mur-
ply Meet a Horrifyfn0
Death.

GALENA, Kan, Sept. 15.-The
premature explosion of about
forty-fve sticks of powder,
caused by hot" hole or BY the
use of an iron tamping bar. this
morning shortly after 10 O'Clock
this morning resulted in instant
death for Jim Mitchell and Will
Murphy, two miners employed in
L. d. ELEPHANTS mine on the
Southside ground.
Eula Mitchell, son of the dead
miner, and Charles Powell, who
were working in the same drift,
narrowly escaped with their
lives.
Young Mitchell was injured,
but displayed remarkable nerve
by walking to town for medical
attention. AS it was young
Mitchell was forced to go to
town and it was with some
difficulty he was prevented from
returning to the shaft, believing
that if his father wasn't killed
he might be of some assistance.
This mornings accident was
probably the worst that has
occurred in Galena, in recent
wears, and the manner in which
the bodies of the two miners
were mutilated was frightful.
The first body taken from the
shaft was that of Will Murphy
and this was mangled so COM
pletely that the remains were
hauled to the undertaking estab-
lishment in the tub in which he
was hoisted from the mine.
One of Murphy's feet was shot
off his hands almost severed
and from appearances the full
charge of the shot took effect in
the face. The left leg between
the knee and ankle is missing.
The force was so great that the
shoe on the severed foot was
burSted.
The body of Mitchell was also
badly mangled. His right hand
is missing, his right leg was
almost completely severed be-
tween the knee and the thigh
and his body otherwise mutilated
almost be, ond recognition.
Mitchell's son was further
away from the shot, else he, too,
probably would have met instant
death. The physician ampu-
tated two fingers OF the left
hand. Chas. Powell's escape
from injury is attributed to the
fact that at the time of the
explosion he was at the shaft
with loaded tub.
The four men were working
in the same drift and a short
while before the accident Mitchell
and Murphy had completed a
steam drill hole. The presump'
ton is that they either failed to
ascertain whether the hole was
hot or the explosion was caused
by an iron tamping bar. Mitchell
had been a miner in the Galena
mines for probably twenty years
and men who have worked with
him this morning stated it had
always been his custom to use an
iron bar, an instrument which
undoubtedly has caused death
for scores of miners in the dis
trict.
Charles Barker and a number
of other miners were at work IN
another drift in the mine, where
hand steel was used and were
the first to the rescue OF the
injured and dead.
Shortly after the explosion
probably 200 persons, among
them many women, were on
hand to lend whatever assistance
they could and work in sur
