his sins, even though a vast fortune

LISBON AMID RIOTS
DISORDER FOLLOWS In WAKE
OF ELECTION DAY.
Mob Dispersed After Few Hours
Trouble Followed After Elections
Held Sunday-Suffrage is Limited to
Those Who Can Read and Write and
Who Pay Certain Taxes.

Lisbon, Portugal, April 6.-The elec-
lions here Sunday, which were con-
Quoted peaceably with the exception of
minor disorders in some of the dis
affected districts, were followed at
night by serious rioting, which was
only put down by most vigorous action
on the part of the police and troops.
The rioting broke out in different parts
of the city, as though by a preconcert-
ed plan. Troops which had been
patrolling and others that had been
held in reserve were Immediately or
dered into action and they repeatedly
charged the mobs that in places filed
the streets, but without effect. The
rioters used clubs, stones and whatever
other weapons were at hand, and fin
ally the troops were obliged to fire
upon them, killing and wounding a
number
The determined action on the part
of the authorities seemed to have the
desired effect and shortly the mobs
were 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
campaign of the republicans, possibly
was the heaviest in Portugal's history.
Victory for Monarchists.
Nevertheless, a large monarchist
- 49,
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
tricts, offset in a measure this advan
tage.
Cry of Fraud.
The opposition leaders are raising
the cry of fraud. They claim tina
while government pressure seemingl.
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 tn
country.
AS the suffrage is limited to thos
who can read and write or who pa
certain taxes, the republicans conten
that it was an easy matter for the at
thorities to manipulate the register lis
against the republican partizens anon
the masses, 80 per cent of whom ar
illiterate. Nevertheless, leaders Xix
Machado, Almeida and Cunha say tina
the seats they won give then sufficien
strength to wage open war against tn
old regime as soon as parliament r.
assemblies.
The monarchists apparently are sa
isfied with the results, saying that tn
extravagant claims of the republican
are utterly disproved.

Mysterious Disease in Mexico.

Dispatches from He-mosillO, So nora, Mexico, during the past week, state that new and unknown dis ease has recently infected that coun- try and that people are dying fast, and so far the. physicians have failed to diagnose the disease. People are taken sick and in a day or two are dead. The people of that section are terror-stricken and are fleeing to the coast or mountains. Hermosillo is a city of many thousand inhabitants, and there is no telling where the dis ease will end. It is also reported that all those who contracted the dis ease have died, recovery having been a rare exception.

THE reappointment of Joseph H.
 Kibbey as governor of Arizona for another, four years by the president of the United States will meet with the approval of the people of this territory. Governor Kibbey, as chief executfve of Arizona the past. four years, has proven himself to be man of sterling worth and true friend to the territory. He has all ways been found laboring for the best interests of his people and his record in the joint statehood fight, when he openly declared his opposition to even the president, won for him the friendship and admiration of the many Arizonans who preferred Ari- zona to remain as a territory rather than accept joint statehood. MT. Kibbey however, will not have the pleasure of serving as governor of the territory of Arizona very much longer, owing to the fact that if we are not admitted into the union as a single state at the present session of congress we will most assuredly get there at the next session.

s. s. Campbell, of Brooklyn, Mass, who is the promoter and heavy stock holder in the Chase Creek Copper company, arrived in Clifton last week and is spending a short time here on business connected with the company. The Chase Creek com pany owns a group of valuable min ing claims in the Metcalf district, on which some excellent showings have been made. The company has ex- pended considerable amount of money on development work during the past few years, having driven the Chase creek tunnel a distance of about 2000 feet. The tunnel is being driven with the expectation that a large body of low grade ore will be encountered at much depth when it reaches under a big dyke on the sur face. This work, owing to the length of the tunnel, has cost much money and it is estimated that another 10 feet will have to be driven in order to reach the objective point. MT. Campbell has announced that the company will commence operat ions as soon as possible and continue the tunnel to the 30OO-foot mark. He also stated that development work is planned on other claims belonging to the company. He will leave the lat ter part of this week.
