MoNARCHIST MAJORITY is
ASSURED IN PORTUGAL.

LISBON, April 4.--The monarchists
say that the influence OF government
machinery on governors and projects
throughout the country viii insure a
strong monarchist majority in the
chamber of deputies in the elections
that take place in Portugal tomor-
row. They have determined to limit
republican deputies to twelve.
The efforts Of the secret police who
have been investigating the tragedy
of Feb. /, when King Carlos and the
crown prince were shot down, have
failed up to the present time to estab-
lish the completely of outsiders, but
have developed conclusive evidence
that the death of former Premier
Franco was decreed by a secret re
publican society in spite of the pro
tests of the republican leaders.
