Lisbon, July 2.-Dr. Jose Maria De
Alpoim, chief of the progressive dissl-
dents, smarting under the insinuations
that he was implicated in the assassin
ations in Lisbon last February of King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz, Gre
ated a sensation in the house OF lords
today by revealing what he declared to
be the true story Of this regicide plot.
He asserted that the assassinations
had been decided upon at meeting OF
the leaders of the progressive and
regenator party, a few days before
they were carried out. A number OF
republicans were also present at the
Alpoim charged that the re-
publicans proposed to obliterate the
entire roval family, with the exception
of Maria Pia, mother Of King Carlos,
but the monarchists insisted that sucn
a general slaughter would be useless.
Finally. Manuel, Silvia Buissa and AL
freda Costa were given $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively, to kill King Carlos
and Premier Franco. Arrangements
were made by other men to cover the
flight of the assassins, but when Buis-
sa and Costa fred, their friends lost
their heads and opened fire also. These
shots resulted in the death OF Crown
Prince LuiZ.

The Justices decision, as at first an
nounced, appeared to warrant the in
depreciation that all individual betting
is legal! but the full opinion shows he
upholds that portion of the statute
which prohibits and makes criminal
the business of receiving bets, but de-
cides that receiving money as a result
of winning wager is not a crime. The
justice points out that individual bet
ting differs from maintaining a place

who wore glasses and posed as the
woman's husband under the name Of
]. H. Raymond, is being sought by In-s
spector Wheeler and a squad Of fifty
OF Chicago's picked detectives.

SEES A NEW WORLD.
Man Released From Prison Finds
Many Marvellous Changes.

Chicago, July 2.-After spending
twenty-seven of the best years of life
with the horizon of his world limited
by the stone walls of Joliet penitenti-
ary and his ambitions ground down by
the routine of a convict's existence,
John Gale, aged 40, but appearing to
be go, stepped into the outside world
yesterday. He began his sentence when
he was % years old.
For more than a quarter Of CEN
tury the development Of John Gale had
been stayed, but the hand of time had
not stopped. Today the friends drawn
TO him because they have a common
land of nativity are trying to find work
which will be neither too hard for an
old mans body nor too exacting for the
childish simplicity of boy of years
ago. Life in the penitentiary has dulled
b,,t not hardened Gale, and yesterday
he showed the eagerness of child in
looking at the strange sights of which
he has heard only stories for many
years

He was a petitioner before the legls-

The decision of the attorney general
directly affects twenty-five life con-

governor must submit these applica-

murder of former Governor Frank
Steuenberg, to Imprisonment for life
April 10 last. when Orchards case
was called at Caldwell, he changed his
former plea of not guilty, entered by

and pleaded guilty to murder in the

Wood recommended that the board OF
pardons commute the sentence, saying
he was firmly convinced that Orchard
had told the whole and exact truth at
the trials of Haywood and Pettibone,
and that he was therefore, for the SER

a trolley car stopped in front OF the
penitentiary gate yesterday and the
men clambered on. Even In the peni-
tentiary walls the prisoner had heard
the clatter of those cars, but ne mad

what they were like came only from
surreptitious accounts by younger
prisoners.
But he showed no surprise. An or

tempt some pleasantly. but something
more startling is necessary to evoke
flicker of emotion from man VINO

The car sped thru towns--men ana
women and children were laughing and
talking on the streets, oblivious to the
passing Of the life convict. Tor twenty
seven years he had never made a move
without the consciousness that some-
body was watching him and that
guards bullet would be his deserts II
he attempted to follow his inclination.
Gale dared to look around the car and
sat more nearly erect.
An automobile swished past the open
window and he Jumped. That was a
new sensation. and he glanced appre-

he looked relieved, for he was no long

Special 10 Times Republican.
Council Bluffs. July 2.-The dele
gates to the Fifteenth judicial district
republican convention entered upon the
third day of the convention deadlock
this morning with no indication OF an
early settlement Of the strife. At noon
237 ballots had been taken and still ND

within seven votes of the prize on sew.

The only feature of the forenoon oc-
Cured when Delegate Harl, from
Council Bluffs, challenged the vote of
Pottawattamie county as it was cast.
He later Withdrew the challenge, as 1t
appeared the chairman had merely
erred in dividing the vote among the
several candidates. Some slight evil
dence of bitterness is developing,
which only serves to make the sup
porters of the four remaining candl-
dates the more determined to stick to
their favorite. At 12 o'clock recess
was taken to 1880 The last ballo.
taken before the noon adjournment
stood: Arthur, 35; Beeson, AZ; Culli-

There was scarcely any variation to
the voting during the afternoon, and at
2:3O. 255 ballots had been cast the re-
suit being only few votes different
from rhe vote reported earlier in the
f1ay. It looks now as though at least
another day would be required to set

they will get their mail from the gem

reason for opposing the switching OF
the route that the charge takes busi-
