,,sbon. Portugal, April 6.--The cleo
.,.os here Sunday, which were con-
,.o,ed peaceably with the exception of
.,,ror disorders in some of the dis
.sooted districts, we're followed at
.,rht nv serious rioting, which was
unIv mt down by most vigorous action
On the part of the police and troops.
Tho rioting broke out in different parts
~ tbe city, as though by a preconcert-
"a nlan Troops which had been
oo,rolling and others that had been
Sold in reserve were Immediately or
Sored into action and they repeatedly
oborged the mobs that in places filled
,ho streets, but without effect. The
.oters used clubs, stones and whatever
o,ber weapons were at hand, and fin
ollv the troops were obliged to fire
mon them, killing and wounding a
number.
The determined action on the part
n the authorities seemed to have the
desired effect and shortly the mobs
we're well dispersed.
With the exception of minor dis
orders at AMOS and Alcantara, the
elections passed off quietly through the
country, so far as the present dispatch
es Indicate.
The voting, due to the agitation
throughout the country and the active
nmpaign of the republicans, possibly
WAS the heaviest in Portugal's history.
Victory for Monarchlsts.
Nevertheless, a large monarchist
coalition majority, composed of the
two old "rotative" parties, the national
clerical and the tranquillist groups, is
! assured Ninety-nine out of 146 depu-
ties to be chosen, already reported
elected are monarchists.
In a general way the elections turn
ed out as planned by the parties in
control. The republicans, who had but
two seats in the dissolved parliament
increased their representation to pos
sibly 20. In Lisbon they swept the
pOpulous sections of the city, but gerry
manders including the outside dis
rcts, offset in a measure this advan
tage.
Cry of Fraud.
The opposition leaders are raising
the cry of fraud. They claim thai
while government pressure seemingly
was relaxed, the old electoral machin
cry was in full operation because o
the fear on the part of the government
Of a great republican movement, ant
that therefore the elections do not rep
resent in any way the sentiment of thu
country
As the suffrage is limited to thos'
who can read and write or who pa,
certain taxes, the republicans conten'
that 1t was an easy matter for the au
thorities to manipulate the register lis
against the republican partizens amon
the masses, 80 per cent of whom ar
ilterate. Nevertheless, leaders Xix
hachado, Almeida and Cunha say tina
NE seats they won give then sufficien
strength to wage open war against tn
OLD regime as soon as parliament re
assemblies.
The monarchists apparently are sa
iSned with the results, saying that tn
eSuaVagant claims of the republican
are utterly disproved.

The Railroad BY Sea.

January 16 saw the elimination of
an important stage Of the great pro-
ject being worked out by Henry Nj.
Flagler, when the new railroad from
Miami to Knights Key is opened.
This line is the longest part of the
ambitious extension of the Florida
East Coast Railway, by which the
roads terminus will be moved from
Homestead, Fla, to Key West, 12S
miles further south.
Construction work on the extension
was begun on May 1, 1905, and the
frequent engineering problems met
with each step of it's progress have
been successfully solved. Stretching
its way from key to key over inter
vening lanes of water varying in
depth from few inches to 80 feet,
the new line when completed will
have been built for "A miles on land,
% miles through swamps and % miles
over water. 1t has been apprOprl-
ately nicknamed the ''sea going rail
road" On the entire route 80 keys
are crossed, and the delay accom-
panying the procuring of material for
the connecting concrete viaducts has
prevented earlier completion of the
new section.
Included in the 100 miles from
Miami are nearly six miles of con-
crete viaduct and so miles of embank-
ment, rising 81 feet above the water,
to protect the track from storms.
The line has 10 bridges, two OF them
drawbridges, with 40 foot clear open
ings on each side of the pier and one
with clear opening of 100 feet on
each side. The longest viaduct, from
Key West to Conch Key, is lu,ooo
feet, built in the most substantial
way. In places concrete work on
the railway has cost more than s5OO,-
600 per mile. The road is, of course,
single track, with 20 pound rails, and
is an xcellent piece of constructor

Could the most sanguine of that

the South Carolina railroad was the

for 40 deep-sea vessels, with wharves

upon this newlymade land will be

Drifting Toward The Presidential
Campaign.

Governor Johnson, of Minnesota,
may possibly be the Democratic NOM
inee for the Presidency. He or some
such man will surely be if the Demo
cratic delegates to the convention
have the courage of their constitu-
ents' convictions, which they will
probably lack. For the machinery of
the party seems to be strongly COM
mitted to Mr.. Bryan. But there is
very grave doubt whether the masses
Panama City pilot., 1908-02-06

Of Democrats prefer him. Talk with
we'll informed men in any part of the
country and you will instantly dis
cover that they regard Mr.. Bryan's
defeat as certain, if he should be
nominated. Nobody gives any good
reason why he should be again nomi-
mated, and yet everybody expects him
to be.
If the partY's managers, or if any
group of Democrats, can in the next
four or five months pull the party out
of this negative mood and inert drift
to defeat, and nominate (let us say
Governor Johnson, there will be a
contest with at least enough spirit in
it to be interesting; and the Demo-
cratic party will start itself again on
the way toward position where it
can fight and win-if not this year,
some other year.
For Governor Johnson, like Mr..
Cleveland, goes back to a reform of
the tariff as the main party issue and
the hope of victory. Every other
task that Democratic orators and
managers will formulate has been
done, or is likely to be done, by their
opponents. There is no radical differ
en"e of opinion or of position between
the two parties but this. And, if the
Democrats throw away their chance
to emphasize tariff reform this year
if, in fact, they fail to concentrate
their campaign on 1.-THE Republi-
cans may take up the subject before
another Presidential election comes
and 60 just far enough In removing
the worst scandals to prevent the
Democrats from making an effective
campaign thereafter.
For thoughtful students of current
politics, this is the centre of interest.
Most other subjects that the cam
paign orators will discuss are windy
such as Imperialism, concentration
of governmental power, and all such;
for the regulation of railway rates
and the restraint of corporations,
which is the only other living sub
ject, will not change the usual party
lines. What Mr.. Roosevelt's admin
istration has done will outweigh what
the Democrats may promise to do.
There is one influence on the cleo
ton the effect of'which cannot yet be
very accurately foretold-the intiu-
ence of business depression. If it

strong tendency to help the Demo

ways works to the injury of the party
in power. Yet, critical as a large

Republican than to a Democratic ad-

PANAMA CITY. FLA. FEB. 6. 1908.
Retrospective.

The panic is over. Here and there
throughout the country is being pre-
sented after-pieces, but the time has
arrived when the people can calmly
look over the battle field and retro
spectively examine into the cause of
the financial cyclone," it's effects,
and the part taken therein by the
masses, and the Government.
One does not have far to go to find
the cause of the upheaval. Graft,
thievery, disreputable business me-
thods discovered existing among
those who held positions of public
trust, led to loss of confidence in
nearly all the quasi-public corpora
tions, and the downfall of many a
supposed multi-millionaire, whose
foundation was based not upon sound
business actions and principles, but
upon fictitious values, criminal finan-
cial operations, and cheek.
When these houses of cards began
to topple chaos reigned supreme.
Then the vultures of high finance
began lowering over the field. A
republican cabinet officer rushed for
ward with the entire working balance
of the treasury to the aid of these
harpies. Through this unlawful and
unholy coalition between the U. S.
treasury and Wall street, the power
of the gigantic trusts was still further
increased and their baneful influence
extended. The U. S. Steel combine
smacked it's chops complacently as
it devoured it's strongest competitor,
the L. L. & S. Co.; the Standard Oil
Company picked up few competing
companys; the Independent Naval
Stores industries were crushed by the
same agency; and quite few strug-
Cling steam and electric railway cor
porations went into the NAV of in
satiate billion dollar combinations
that had done all in their power to
bring about the panic.
Many tid-bit these grey old vul-
lures picked up on the field of car
mage they had so adroitly helped
create, fattening upon the necessities
of many widow and orphan whose
little all was invested in these out
side corporations. And all this at a
time of plenteous harvests, unparall-
eled business activity, record break
ing export trade, and peaceful labor
conditions. Never before was there
panic brought about under such
conditions. Republican leaders head
ed by the President state in excuse
that it would have occurred had the
democrats been in power. No one
can say that possibly it would not,
but it can be truthfully stated that
panic under such conditions never
did occur under a democratic admin
istration, and renders it obligatory
upon the Republicans to prove their
bald assertions. They cannot do so.
