ended up by throwing crockery at him.
The captain and l heard it all and
were amazed. For a sick wife the lady
seemed very vigorous. 1t was not for
us to interfere, however. In about half
an hour Montgomery came on deck for
smoke and promenade. He seemed
to think some explanation due, and he
said that his wife was a quick tenn
pered woman and was blaming him
that mail had not been provided for
her. She did not show herself during
the day, and we heard no more rows.
That night we had something of gale
that remained with us for three days
and brought her seaslckness, and none
OF us heard anything from her. Mont
gomery attended her and had very lit
tie to say.
1t was on the fifth morning after
leaving London and we were well out
on the Atlantic when Captain Saun-
ders was called into the cabin by the
woman. To his great surprise, he
found her a person at least fifty years
old. She was not even commonly good
looking. On the contrary, she would
have been called hOmely anywhere,
and the wrinkles in her face betrayed
her age. She began abusing Mont
gomery as If he had been a pickpocket.
She called him hard names, and she
swore. She declared that she would
60 no farther in his company and
must be transferred to the first craft
bound for London. Montgomery at
first tried to soothe her, but she yelled
and screamed and finally would have
used her nails on his face had not the
captain interposed. The woman de
MED that she was his wife and said
that he had grossly deceived her into
the situation, and she offered Captain
Saunders 800 to transfer her that
day. Montgomery finally told her to
go If she so desired, and that settled
IT, Within an hour we raised a nm-
Der vessel coming from the Ameri-
can coast. The woman was informed
as to what sort Of craft 1t was and
that the accommodations would be
very meager. but she insisted on being
transferred. She offered the other can
tain 500 to receive her and was duly
landed on the lumber laden decks.
Neither she nor Montgomery had had
a word in farewell. OF all her bag
gage she would take only one single
trunk. telling Captain Saunders that
ne could have the rest for his wife.
Montgomery made no explanations
after the ships parted. Indeed, 1t did
not seem as II there was anything be
could say. He simply read, smoked
and walked the decks, and three DAYS
later he was also transferred. In 70
ing he presented the captain with q
'runkful OF fne clothing and all the
cabin stores. We had been paid a
good price for the run. and with these
tnings on top Of 1t the Lee made one

BY Associated Press.
LISBON, April 6.-The city is in a
state of intense excitement over the
election riots of last night, brought on
by the indignant protest of the Repuh-
lioan element that it would be de-
frauded at the polls. Great crowds
filled Pedro square and were amassed
in front of st. Dominique church, these
points being the chief centers of the
Republican disorders. The troops, con-
sisting of cavalry and infantry, were
called from their barracks and charged
or the assembled multitude. AS the
troops advanced they were met by
showers of stones. The soldiers charged
repeatedly, finally opening fire on the
mob Intense disorder enSued. One
observer says the streets were literally
red with blood. No official statement
of the number of killed and wounded i
has yet been issued, and pending
authority from the government sources
no unofficial or press statement is per-
mitteo to be telegraphed concerning the
extent of these casualties.
Following the bloody street affray,
three newspapers, the organs of Fran
COSTS, the Regenerators and the Ma
tionaIists, were mobbed. The crowd
finally fed in terror to their homes, the
cavalry pursuing the groups throug n
the streets and dispensing them as they
sought to reform at the street corners.
TIE counting of the ballots on yesrer-
days election proceeded slowly today.
Some districts are being held up by
order of the government. The ballot
booths are being guarded by the police,
backed by a large force of troops.
Thus far not single Republican can
didate has been declared elected, al
though the results in 107 districts are
understood to be complete.
Cavalry Patrols Streets
The cavalry and large forces of re-
serve police continued patrolling the
streets There were further disorders
today when voting was resumed in
Saint Dominique, where it was sus-
pended yesterday because of rioting.
1t now appears that four republicans
have been elected in Lisbon.
A government statement issued to-
day says;
1.-The government gave specific orders
to insure liberty of voting and took
every precaution to prevent disorder
The elections passed off regularly in
almost all districts of Lisbon, but at
ST. Dominique and Santos.
The republicans tried to run the ball
lot boxes but We're dispersed by the
troops who guarded the voting pre-
cincts. One hundred and ten arrests
have been made"

Action of Edward In Remaining on

by Associated Press.
LONDON, April 6.-Herbert S. AS
ouith. chancellor of the exchequer, who
has been summoned by King Edward
to Biarritz crossed by the night boat
from Dover to Calais tonight, en- route
to that place to see the king, whose alb
sence at time when 1t was foreseen
that Sir Henry mpbell-Bannerman S
illness must lead almost inevitably to
cabinet crisis, provokes criticism on the
English king. There has been rumor
that the king would return to London
on Saturday next, but this is very
doubtful
In his letter of resignation to the king
Sir Henry advised his majest.- to sum-
mon Mr.. Asquith. The latter in point
of fact has no rival for the leadership
of his party and the government. His
accession to the premiership will un-
doubtedly sooner or later lead to sweep
ing changes In the constitution of the
late ministry but in the unprecedented
circumstances of the British premier
resigning during an important session
of parliament it is quite possible that
the new premier will content himself
with the absolutely necessary changes.
The house of commons was crowded
this afternoon when Mr.. Asquith rose
to make his addres. The premier-elect
was greeted with hearty cheers as he
began to speak.
'Since the house rose on Friday"
said Mr.. Asquith, "the king has been
pleased to accept the resignation of the
prime minister. and the government
now is without head. This Is not the
occasion when ii would be possible or
appropriate to do justice to the great
qualities of our revered and trusted
chief or to enlarge upon, his long and
splendid services to the state.
For the moment viii not trust my
self to do more than to say that in the
annals of our history there is no man
who after long years spent in the thick
of public contention has ever laid down
the highest office under the crown more
deservedly beloved. There is not a sin
gle man in any quarter of this house
who does not feel that this is per-
sonal loss"
Mr.. Asquith went on to state that 1t
was clear public business could not pro-
ceed effectively at this time, and he pro-
posed the house adjourn until April IA.
at which time, after the transaction of
formal business. 1t would readjourn for
the Easter recess.

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO. April 6.-The naval
collier Ajax arrived off this port today,
bringing mail and passengers from the
Atlantic fleet at Magdalena bay.
Among the passengers were Lieuten-
ant Commander G. B. Bradshaw and
Lieutenant L. r. White, who were sent
from Washington to witness the target
Lractice of the sixteen battleships.
lieutenant White said that while he
was not at liberty to give out any OF
the. scores made it could be stated that
some record breaking scores had been
made.
'.The most significant and satisfying
feature of the work" said Lieutenant
White. sis the fact that there is not
a single ship in the fleet which has
not beaten her former records by a
good margin. There are many PEN
alties and handicaps to be considered
In making up the final scores, and |
could not tell even If l were allowed
to do so. which ships will head the
fleet in hits per gun per minute"
The Ajax returns to Magdalena bay
tomorrow morning.
MAGDALENA BAY, April 3, via San
Diego. April 6-The work of preparing
for the California reception, now but
ten days distant, is already in progress
among the battleships of the Atlantic
fleet. Every ship not engaged in coal
ing or working on the torpedo ranges
is undergoing a thorough scrubbing,
scraping and painting from the water
line to mast heads. Every inch of the
surface of the ships will be gone over
and cleaned and polished.
Bottoms Inspected
Divers have been sent over the sides
of each ship and have made thorough
inspection of the bottoms. Many of
the ships are nearly as clean as when
they left Hampton Roads, according to
the reports of the divers. The long
Law at anchorage in the bay has done
more to foul the bottoms than the trip
around the Horn.
The work of coaling the ships for
the final leg of the long journey is being
pushed forward with all speed. Last
night the crew of the Maine worked
ali night taking on coal from a collier
alongside and slowing it away in the
bunkers. 1t is likely that one or two
others of the ships will also put in a
night at coaling.

A NOTABLE INCREASE
OF Activities in a Number of Lines of
 IuduRtrfea.

Washington, Sept 4.--Notably ln- creased activities jn number of lines of industry in the United States are shown In the July report of the Bu- reau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor.
 There is a considerably heavier live stock movement reported for the seven months ending with July than for the corresponding period of either of the two immediately preceding two years. Grain receipts for July increased over the preceding month and also over July of last year. Lumber and coal move ments, as well as the production of iron continue to show marked advances over the preceding months of the year, although the total Is still below the heavy figures of July, 1907.
 More than 70 per cent of the report ing car associations show gains over year Live stock receipts at seven inc terior primary markets aggregated g.. 7S4.193 head. With returns from for- ty-fve leading citieF, the building op- erations for July showed improvement, a small gain over the remarkably large business of July of last year being re- ported.
 Packing house products. receipts of Southern pine. pig iron and other pro- ductions showed gains ever the preced:: ing months at New York. Coal and coke traffic over seven eastern coal car- rying roads during July, 1908, aggre- gating 9961,996 tons was far in ex- cess of tse preceding months totals, though still nearly three millions be- low the like shipments for July, 1907. The increase over the June figures is largely dde to the 100000 ton in- crease in EhiDmepts of bitumtnous coal.
