 The allegations were true, but he met them with the same spirit and vlgos which had characterized his actions

GOMpERS PREFERS
 OLD SEER MAN LAW

Washington. April 6.-The statement of Samuel Gompers, president Of the American Federation of Labor, that or sanized labor would rather endure the Sh erman antitrust law as applied by the United States supreme court in the datters case than submit to Legislation as proposed by the amendatory bill drafted by the National Civic Fedora ton and introduced in the House by LIr. Hepburn of Iowa, was one of the features today of hearing on that before a sub committee of t'e Houss- judiciary committee. The speakers in addition to Mir. Gompers were President Seth Low of the National Civic Feder- ation, Prof. J. w. Jenks of Cornell uni- versity.
 The chief speaker was Professor Jenks, who discussed the bill in it's various phases and answered running fire of questions from members of the committee and interested persons He made it plain that so far as he and the National Civic Federation are concernel they desire no changes to be made in tfc Sherman law that would authorize an interstate boycott as defined by tho anth racite coal commission.
 MT. Gompers declared that organized labor does not want its contracts with employees to be passed on as to thei.. reasonableness or unreasonableness by commissioner; that rather would la Dor submit to the law as it now stands.
 Further hearing on the bill was post loned to Thursday, April 16.

SERIOUS UPSET IN THE CABINET British Ministry VIII Undergo
 Transformation SETBACK FOR HOME RULE Many of Present Officials Will Be Re. tired and It Is Believed That Lord Rosebery Will Be Asked to
 Join the Cabinet.
SETBACK FOR HOME RULE

London, April 6.-Herbert H. Asduith, the chancellor of the excheauer. who has been summoned by King Edward to Biar- ritz, crossed by the night boat from Dover to Calais tonight en route to that place to see the King, whose absence at a time when it was foreseen that Sir Henry Campbell- l-Bannerman's illness must lead almost inevitably to cabinet crisis. provokes criticism in the English papers. There has been a rumor that the King would return to London on Saturday next, but this is very doubt ful.
 n his letter of resignation to the King, Sir Henry advised his majesty to sum mon MT. Asquith. The latter in point of fact has no rival for the leadership of his party and the government. His ac- cession to the premiership will undoubted- ly sooner or later lead to sweeping changes. leaving further reconstruction until the weighty measures now before parliament are disposed of, this more es- pecially because of the desirability of avoiding as far as possible by elec- tions which would be necessitated by ap- pointing new men to offices.
 It is an open secret that the party ex- poets the retirement of the Earl of FL gin, the colonial secretary; the Marquis of Ripon, lord of the privy seal; Lord Tweedmouth. first lord of the admiralty; H. J. Gladstone, secretary of state for the home department; John Sinclair, sec retary of Scotland, and Sir H. H. Fow- Ter, chancellor of the Duchy of bancas- ter. but it is very doubtful if they can be persuaded to yield their places.
 Another development which Is regarded as not impossible, is that MT Asquith will make overtures to Lord Rosebery to join the cabinet at some future time. MT. Asquirth is supposed to be nearer in sympathy with Lord Rosebery in the present field than With the radicAhl but speculation in tliis eetaon nesa h}Fdtg enter into the present calculations. Be- yond the fact that David Lloyd-George Winston Spencer Churchill and Walter Runciman, with the financial secretary will be included in the new cabinet, all is conjecture.
 It is admitted on all sides that the re- tirement of Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man is a setback for the home rule movement and the nationalists do not attempt to hide their disappointment, the only bright spot being that MT, Asquith chose to leave Secretary Birrell in charge of the Irish office.

LISBON AROUSED BY
 VIOLENT CONFLICT
Result of Riots Seven Killed and Fifty Wounded by the Sol diers-Cause of Riots Was Dispute Over Election List Which Was Sealed Up in Spite of Demands
 That Vote Be Counted

municipal guard arrived and cleared the edifice of the struggling combat ants at the point of the bayonet.
 In the meantime the crowd outside the church had been greatly augmented and the appearance of the gurds at the doors after they had forced the people into the streets was the signal for 4 shower of stones, under which they were forced to retreat to the interior of the edifice.
 As they retired they fired a volley from their rifles. bringing down sew cral of the rioters. The mob stead fly increased and shouts and impreea- tons and cries of anger were heard on every side. The rioters armed them- selves and soon the edifce was liter- ally surrounded and besieged by mad dened mob.
 The guardsmea fired through tne doorway, but the volleys were feeble and intellectual. Eventually the com manding officer placed detail on the balcony over the main portion. From points of vantage, the guardsmen fired repeatedly into the surging populace yvounding large number. Still tho rlob did not give way, but only att
 
 reach the guard the more furiously. The several guardsmen wounded were replaced on the balcony by others and for three hours the fight continued. Then three companies of infantry and 8 troop of cavalry and one battery appeared driving all before them.
 By this time night had fallen and there ensued in the darkness desper- ate and uncertain hand to hand en- counter between the soldiers and the rioters. The latter now numbered hundreds. They were armed with paving stones from the streets aud rushed into the nearby houses, where they snatched all sorts of missiles, which they hurled at the troops. Some of the rioters were armed with re- yolvers which they did not hesitate t. rse In the attack
 Just as the soldiers reached the square fronting the church, the guard on the balcony fired a volley directly into the rerk of the infantrymen and three of the latter fell mortally wound ed. In the confusion and darkness the guardsmen had mistaken them for a band of rioters.
 Before the superior forces of charg- ing infantry and cavalry the crowd slowly fell back. Eventually the streets were cleared.

Washington, April 6.-(Special)- l)-Thomas McCreary, the New York horseman shot by Representative Hefiin, is dying.

TAFT HANDS OUT
 KNOCKS FOR BRYAN

Omaha, Neb., April 6.-Secretary Taft rounded out the first day of his trip to Nebraska with a speech at the Audito- rum tonight where he was the honored guest at banquet given before the Mo- Kinley club. The secretary took occasion tonight to place before the people the real issues of the coming campaign, as he knows them and incidentally to reply to the recent utterances of William J. Bryan when the democratic leader criticised the action of the Mckinley and Roosevelt ad- ministrations for their policy in the Phil ippines. The secretary stated. that MT. Bryan was not consistent in his utter ances because he had been the means. m a large degree, of bringing about the signing of the treaty of Paris, whereby the Philippines came under the control of the United States, and he is now criticls- ing the action of the administration be- cause of it's efforts to teach the Filipinos the art of self-government

Lisbon, April 6.-Seven persons were shot to death and 50 others wounded by soldiers last evening after the vot- ing in the elections in this city had ended. The rioting was widespread and such was the confusion during the violent conflict between the populace and the municipal guard that the ruardsmen mistaking infantrymen who had been called out for members of the mob fired a volley Into their ranks. seriously wounding three of the so diers.
 The night was one of terror for Lis" bon, which seemed suddenly afame with seething revolt. Bands of men ran wildly through the streets brand ishing weapons. while the sharp crack of rifles was heard in various sections of the city. Thousands of the most reaceable citizens fled to their homes gust as they did on the night after the assassination of King Carlos and the Grown Prince.
 The principal rioting was the result of dispute between the < ,publicans and the monarchists regarding the counting of votes. The republicans had been fearing fraud at the various Liz lon polling places and made a determ- ined stand for their rights at St. Dominique's church, which is in tine center of the city, a district of repub- 1icanism. Both the republicans and monarchists kept a sharp watch throughout the day. As the voters were following the ancient custom of voting in the churches they filed steadily but slowly into historic St. Dominique's and deposited their ballots in the of ficial voting boxes. When the polls closed, the monarchist election officers declared that it was too late to count the votes and proposed to keep the list in the church and count them on the morrow. The republican tellers re- fused to assent to this insisting upon an immediate count followed by the sealing of the boxes The difference between the officials spread to the crowds that filled the church and in a moment blows were struck and then a general fight followed. Suddenly the

sylvania avenue car, McCreary has been confined to his bed in the hospital. pr. Wharton has been in constant attendance and today he was so much improved that it was deemed all right to allow him to get up and sit by the window
 The patient had hardly seated himself by the window when his jaws became rigid. He became alarmed and made signs of distress to his nurse. The phy- sicians were called and Dr. Wharton administered a large quantity of anti toxin. He did not improve and tonight it was decided that the only possible N lnee he had for life was in an opera 5 on.
