.,II PEACEFUL IN PORTUGAL.
Tie Old Liberal Monarchy to be Res
tOreti-AnOtilcr Vpheaval in the
Near E'uture In.>ossibIe-The Young
Sovereign Has Attractive Personality
Lisbon, February 5.-The announced
intention Of the new cabinet to put
ali end to repressions and restore the
'old liberal monarchy" which has eX-
listed in Portugal for sixty years, has
had a soothing and quieting effect on
the country. Tranquility is reported
from everywhere in the interior, and
today Lisbon seems perfectly peaceful.
Troops are less conspicuous en- the
streets of the city today, and if the
day of the funerals passes without in
cident the present phase Of the crisis
may be regarded as at an end,
The willingness of Senor Machado,
the republican leader, and the republi-
cans generally, to acquiesce in the
present situation if their friends are
released seems to ensure a return to
less strenuous modes of political war
fare. Another upheavel in the near
future is considered practically impos-
sible
Intense interest is shown in Frances
whereabouts. He remains in seclusion
seemingly crushed in spirit and he
declines to see correspondents to offer
Il defense for his policy. His elimina-
ton is regretted by the commercial
classes and foreign elements who are
convinced that his sole object was the
good of the country.
The young king himself believed in
Franco The day after the tragedy, he
said:
II intend to retain Franco. He was
my fathers friend and shall be mine. "
1t is we'll known, however. that the
dowager queen has always been hostile
to the former premier, and latterly
Queen Amelie shared the view that
the dictatorship had been carried too
far She is said to have demonstrated
with him that it might end in trag-
edy and invoked him in behalf Of a
milder course in memory Of what her
own family had suffered in France.
The young sovereign's personality
is described by those who know him as
very winning
AS a lad he displayed fine manly
traits. He had considerable artistic
talent especially for music. and like
his father was exceedingly fond of out
door sports. He was reared with great
care by the devoted queen, who took
the warmest interest in the education
of the princes, both Of whom spoke
English, French. Spanish and Italian
perfectly.
The Kings English tutor 'sings the
praises OF the king and his dead broth
er. ''They were ideal young men,
he said, and then told an anecdote Ill
ustrative of the kings gentle nature
AS the prince he had always spoken
of the queen as Her Majesty" One
day. however, he used the term Moth
er," then he turned to the tutor and
said: 'I think like the word Mother
best read last night that the queer
was lost In the wife. the wife in the
mother"
King Manuel Is especially fond o.
America and Americans

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

In very fast and snappy game
yesterday afternoon Astoria High,
by holding the heavy opponents to
a tie game, proved themselves to be
one Of the fastest High School
teams in the State. Outweighed 20
pounds to the man the High put UP
a gritty game.
Uppertown kicked off to the II, s.,
which was received by Morton, who
returned the kick, but H. s. was un-
able to gain the ball. Uppertown by
line bucks and tackle bucks marched
through the light H. s. line for a
touchdown. Holmes failed to kick
the goal Upshur for the H. S, then
kicked off to Holmes who was
downcd before he got started.
The Uppertowns worked the bail
to the center Of the field where they
were held and forced to try punt
but it was unsuccessful as Upshur
broke through the line and blocked
the kick and picked the ball up and
sprinted down the field for a touch
down He then kicked the goal.
The Uppertowns then kicked off,
the bali being received by 5. Short,
who returned the kick, which was
recovered by Jeldness, H. $. right

Then the High School boys even

pretty and effective. E. Short caught
up punt and ran from the 40-yard
line for a touchdown. II was a run
something like the one made by
Holmes, and the Uppertown players
protested that Short had gone out
side the lines. Short showed that he
could sprint, and he went over the
line, nicely, helped in much of the
way by Rogers. That tied the
score. In the last half the High
School boys did some Of their pref
test work, and once carried the ball
along from their 3s-yard line to
within two feet Of the goal without
a stop, by the prettiest sort of
work.
Ushur failed to kick the last goal,
which missed the chance of winning
the game.

A Realization of the Importance of It Will
 Come Later
The Presidents Statement That He is Not Stickler for Centralized Authority Nor is He Opposed to States Rights.

Washington, May 15.-The first con- ence of the governors of the states of the American union ended today. Like many important events in history, time is needed to reveal an epoch which the president and the governors believe has been made. The accomp- lishments of the conference which has been in session at the White House three days cannot be set forth with mathematical precision.
 The printed records of conference, which later will be available in every American home will be a compilation of facts, startling in meaning, and convincing in the universal conclusion that the states must act, and that the states and nation must cooperate O the end that the whole people of the nation may accure the lasting benefit of natural resources.
 Besides the compilation of facts by experts and the freely expressed opin- ion of the governors, the conference leaves as a permanent record a thou sand word declaration"
 Perhaps greater in importance than all else was the determination of the governors of the states to perfect a permanent organization whereby here tofore unknown intimacy may be de- veloped among the executives of forty six states made strong by common purpose and made potent by pro- .nouncements which may not lightly be disregarded.
 Of the last day the story is one of many features. The set program was

HUMBOLDT CAMP THE
 NtW SUMMER RESORT
"A We'll Equipped Town With Modern Utilities, Bidding Fos the Tourist Trade.

The Humboldt Commercial company | now comes to the front with the lat est offering in the way of summer re- sorts. Most everybody hereabout knows that the town of Humboldt was built to order and built right when the big smelter started. It has many comfortable and neat cottages, provided with electric light, water fpiped in each house and all the con- veniences of town life. Most every
 body also knows that when the smell ter closed down the town of Hum boldt became an almost deserted city. The Commercial company however has kept the hotel livery stable and its own big store, running ever since the shut down. It is believed the smelter will resume next fall and in the meantime the company proposes to offer its plant to the valley people for a summer resort this year, as it has all the conveniences and equip ment and whatever financial returns are secured will be like finding that much money.
 Humboldt has to offer, fsome twen- ty-five or thirty, nicely built three and four room cottages and the hotel also has about twenty-five iBrooms, which are most of them vacant The cottages will be rented for sI5 month and the rooms in the hotel can be secured at about the same figure, The renter can put as many people in either a cottage ofN0 h6tGGroom as may be accommodated. The dining room of the hotel has been kept mp for transients all through the dull times and good table board will be given for s6 per week.
 The store carries a s30,000 stock of goods and one can buy almost every thing he wants right on the ground. There is also a good livery stable for those who want to hire rigs or riding horses. Practically all the conven- fences of life at home are available. Humboldt is located immediately on the Prescott & Eastern railroad near the junction of the Poland branch. There are fine drives in every direc- tion, fine mountain scenery. on one side and on the other the country levels away to Lonesome valley. A few miles down the track is Mayer and within walking distance of Hum boldt one may find many of the his toric mines of the county. The drive up the creek to Poland Mining camp, eight miles away in the pine timber is a delightful one as is the drive up Lynx creek, through the placer fields to the town of Walker.
 For the man of family who can not afford a long camping trip or who has no cottage at Iron Springs, he can find what he wants ready made and waiting for him at Hum boIdt Those interested may secure further particulars by calling upon General Agent Goldsworthy at the Santa Fe office.

"23" Has Biblical Origin.

The origin of "23" in connection with "skidco" has been variously explained. Theatrical men claim that it was used among them, and originated from a combination of IS Representing the number of parts given to an actor or actress "hn had become persona non grata to the management, 10 memo riZe) and , representing the number of weeks in which the parts were to be learned. and during which the man ager took care the ghost" failed to walk in the direction of the unfOrtu
 nate Thespian of whom he wished to rid himself. But in horse-racing cir cles this claim is ridiculed, and the racing man asserts that "23" originat- ed from the number of horses entered for the Suburban Handicap in New York. The number of entries in this race was limited to twenty-two, but on one occasion twenty-three horses went to the starting post, and one horse-the twenty third-was ordered off the field. Circus men explain the term as the last item on the program, which was the chariot race. During the performance the canvasmen would lie around and sleep, but when this race was in progress they were arous- ed by the boss canvasmap so that they might get ready for work as soon as the race was over. A claim that de- serves more serious attention is that which attributes the origin of this number to the expulsion af Adam from

The Sweeping Amendment Has Been DisagreedfO by the Representatives and the Dispute Has Become Subject of Conference.

Washington. May 15.-The Aldrich currency bill was substituted for the Vreeland bill in the senate today. The transfer took but little longer than was required in calling the roll.
 The effect was to throw both the senate and house bills into conference. The HnanageFs. on. n.the-part of the sen late are Messrs. Aldrich, Allison, Hale, Daniel and Teller.
 The dispatch with which the agree meut was reached is striking exam pie of what can be done in tine closing days of a session of congress.
 A meeting of the senate committee on finance was held in the forenoon land the decision to amend the house bill by substituting the measure pass ed by the senate several weeks ago. was reached without difficulty.
 Chairman Aidrich was authorized to make a report, which -he did as soon as the bill which had passed the house had been "messaged over"
 Some changes were made in the sen ate bill by the committee, however, and it was necessary to have a new print of it prepared before it could be called up for consideration. These amendments were confined JO the elm -ination of matter incorporated in the original AldFich bill after it was re- ported from the committee. The com mittee also added sections providing for a commission of nine members of each house to be appointed by the pre- siding officers to be called the nation .al monetary commission, whose duty it shall be ito inquire into and report tto congress what changes are 'neces- sary and desirable in the monetary system of the United States or in the . laws relating banking"
 All the democratic members of the fcommittee voted to support the Al drich bill in preference to the Vree- land bill. but on the floor of the sen ate. all but four members of the mi nority voted against the passage of the bill as amended.
