PLOT AND COUNTERPART.
Lisbon, Portugal, Daily the Scene of
Arrests and Conflicts.

Lisbon. Jan. S0.-For the purpose of
escaping the censorship the following
dispatch was sent to the frontier for
transmission:
Lisbon is outwardly calm, but there
is steady increase of nervousness and
excitement among all classes of the
population, owing to the constant ru-
mors of plot and counterpart and the
persistent activity of the police. who
daily and nightly examine the houses
and suspects and make arrests.
"On the night of Jan. 2S there was a
bloody fight in a small restaurant on
the outskirts Of Lisbon. Suspecting
the presence of crowd Of conspira-
tors the police surrounded and raided
the restaurant. The authorities were
right in their surlnlse and they found
the plotters armed with revolyers.
THE policemen were met by vollay
of bullets and one of them was killed
and four were wounded. The conspira-
tors managed TO keep the guardians
of law and order at bay until they
made good their escape. Later the
same night a score of suspected agita-
tors were arrested and imprisoned in
one of the fortresses.
There Is almost reign Of terror
among the Republicans and the Dis
sident- Progressives and several of the
leaders of the parties, including Dep
uty Almoda, Ex-Depury Costa and
Viscount Rebeira, have been thrown
into prison. The house of Senior AL

is under constant police surveillance"
Acting upon information received
from the secret service the police this
evening raided several houses and dis
covered large stores of revolvers and
many individuals We're arrested
charged with conspiracy. A govern
ment organ declares that the recurrent
agitation and demonstrations spring
from the same source as the recent
plot to proclaim n republic, but that
the government is determined to adopt
all measures to ensure order and the
preservation of the monarchy.

Three Weeks Term of Clarke County
 Court Ends.

Three Weeks Term of Clarke County
 Court Ends.
 Grove Hill, Feb. 29. (SpeciaI)--The adjourned term of the circuit court of Clarke county came to a close today about noon.
 The court was a record breaker in so far as the dispatch of business is concerned, and many congratulations are being extended to Judge Lackland he conducted the court. Solicitor Gray was at his post of duty representing the State, and materially assisted in the dispatch of business showing at all times a remarkable degree of fair ness and ability. as well as 8 zeaious regard for the interests of the State.
 There was a three weeks term of court. which was called for the spe. cial purpose of disposing of the crfm- final cases. There were thirty-nine fel- ony case on the docket, ten of which were capital cases. Every case on the docket was finally disposed of except two. In one of these a forfeit ure was taken on account of the ab- 'sence of the defendant. and the other went over until the spring term of court. the State not being ready for trial.
 It is nothing short of remarkable that so many cases were disposed of, in view of the fact that several of the capital cases were very long and hard fought cases. On the whole, this term of court was the most satisfac- tory ever held In the county. It Is es- timAted that there were 1900 witnesses in attendance during the term. and $50 special jurors. It Is also very noticeable that the witnesses in near ly every case was present and 1t was necessary to issue a very small num- Der of attachments. This was due largely to the untfring enorts of Clerk Cunningham and Sheriff Gar rett.
 This puts our docket in good shape, and unless there Is a remarkable in- crease in crime, Judge Lackland will be able to keep the docket practically clean. Our Circuit Court only has ju- risdiction now of felonies. the last Leg islature having passed an act creating a special county court, having puris- diction of all misdemeanors. The dock ct Is now in better shape than evet be- fore in the history of the county.
