For Iloilo there are 1913 passengers
on the transport Thomas, of
which $50 are enlisted men of the
Fourth Infantry and 81 are cabin pas
sengers, being officers and their fam
lilies, of the Fourth. A troop of the

are aboard for Manila.
Mrs Inez Shorb White, well-known

Major Genera A. w. Greedy, U. S. A.,
is aboard, en- route to Manila. Alophus
Washington Greedy was the first vo-
lunteer private soldier of the Civil War
to reach the grade of brigadier-general
in the Regular Army. He constructed
1000 miles of military telegraph in
Texas, Dakota and Montana, 1863. In
1881 he was placed in command of the
American expedition to establish one
of a chain of thirteen circumpolar
stations. His party reached further
north than any previous record. He
discovered new lands north of Green
and. He was one Of but seven sur

to play. The young man claimed that
he had been deceived; that he did not
know regicide was contemplated, hav-
ing been led to suppose that only the
life of the dictator was to be taken.
This advance warning enabled the
military authorities to take the neces-
sary precautions and thus Illustrate the
military support, which was counted
upon to give success to the plot. Not
withstanding the betrayal some of the
advanced republicans assert that If the
active leaders confined in the Baxia
fortress had been free that night in
Lisbon history would have told diff
ferent tale.
Whether the plot aimed at the MUIR
der of the entire royal family is also
likely to remain in dispute, as the Off
cial clew attempts to make it appear
that the crown prince was killed by
mistake. This view, however, is not
supported by the testimony of eye
witnesses. One of these, the tutor of
the princes, was standing in the arcade
at the corner of Blackhorse square as
the royal carriage approached. He
stood with his shoulder against the
shoulder of Boissa, the man who fired
the shot that killed the king. AS the
carriage reached point almost direct
ly opposite him there was a report
from the curb thirty or forty feet be-
hind the carriage The tutor saw the
king straighten up but he had no idea
that shot had been fired or that the
king was hit Thinking the report was
the explosion Of a frecracker he turn
ed to the man at his side and said:
Take off your hat. 1t is the king"
The words were not out of his mouth
before the man darted forward, revol-
yer in hand, and running up to within
five feet of the rear of the carriage,
fired point blank. The king sank down
and his head fell forward. In the con-
fusion which followed the tutor saw
the man who had fired first kneeling
in the street, with a carbine at his
shoulder, firing shots in rapid success
sion. The crown prince was on his
feet as the king received the fatal bull
let, and the tutor is certain that the
man whom he killed was the murderer
of his father.
Boissa was shot from the front
through the heart. Whether it was
the crown princes bullet which killed
him or not, 1t is certain that the prince
fired twice, for two chambers of his re-
volver were empty. Everything goes
to prove that the plot was TO Kill the
entire royal family, thus obliterate the
Braganza dynasty and precipitate a
change in the regime,

CHANGING FORESTS

The native trees of Australia are be-
ing Systematically replaced with those
of the United States and Europe. The
chief reason for this action is that the
trees of that country are generally OF
very slow growing nature, which is
not desirable for scientific forestry,
although it is true that many of the
Australian trees grow to enormous size
when fully matured and produce excel
lent timber. Notably among these is
the kauri pine, which requires about
200 years to reach full growth. AS the
native trees are cut down to answer
the demands for lumber. the import
ed trees are planted in their places so
that eventually the flora of the coun-
try will be largely eliminated if not
entirely So Already 100000 trees
have been put out and seedlings are
being cultivated in the nurseries in
great quantities, and the nurseries and
plantations are being extended as rap
idly as possible, and these introduce
lions are very successful owing to the
favorable character of the climate, in
which anything will flourish.

RICHEST PURSE
Of MEETING

CHICO, August 21.-After being dri-
ven an easy first heat, cleo Dillon, a
bay filly by Sidney Dillon-Cleo G., by
Yosemite, took three straight by
squarely outtrotting field of ten and
thereby won the richest event of this
meeting, a $4,000 trot for three-year-
olds. She Is owned by e. A. Cannon
of Pleasanton, and was driven by S. G.
Walton. The race is a renewal of last
years trotting futurity for two-year-
ODDS, which was won by Katalina, first
choice for today's big race.
Katalina sold for 500, Don Reginaldo
for SIG and the field for prices varying
from 500 to $24. Don won the first
heat from Katalina in fierce drive
and finally got second money, the ia
vorite getting third and Helen Stiles
fourth money.
Easter D., owned and driven by
James Stewart of Marysville, won the
pacing futurity in two straight heats.
She is a bay filly by Diablo-Donna-
gene, by Athadon. In the second heat,
owing to the fine clip at which Teddy
Bear carried her, Easter D. hung up
2:13h, which is a new Pacific coast
record for pacing two-year-olds. She
only just won each heat after bitter
struggle, the first with Jim Logan,
which made a great finish only to be
beaten a short head, and the second
with Teddy Bear, which she only just
outlasted, Jim Logan again being a
keen contender until he broke in the
home stretch. Easter was the choice
at all times. She sold for $40 and the
field for from $40 to $14.

ito take up racing in France should
anti-racing legislation be adopted in

been adopted here / doubt if race
track betting would have been put out
of the State. The trouble is the book
maker has tried to hog everything,
and now all nave to suffer. With lac

looks as if racing is done for in New

SPORT S
Fleet Brings
Many Sports

Behind the gun or behind the bat,
On flying bridge or base,
On man-of-war or firm ashore,
In either or any case
The U. S. tar, with a hip-hurrah,
Is a sport, as he ought to be,
And whether it's fun
Or a red-hot gun
Ashore or far at sea-
He's out to win
Which it amt no sin,
For that's how it ought to be!
With the boxing glove or the passing
love
Of a pdetty lass a-land,
He's in the ring FOR anything,
And a man that can understand.
In parlor light or sad sea fight,
At dance or a dreary drill,
The soldier of the sea
Is as happy as can be
And ready for to kiss or kill.
Yes, he's ready for to kiss or kill, b!
gum!
He's ready for to kill or kiss,
And every time he cheers
There's vanishing of tears
And the reasons simply this:
Behind the gun or behind the bat,
On flying bridge or base,
On man-of-war, or firm ashore,
In either or any case
The U. S. tar, with a hip-hurrah,
Is sport, as he ought to be,
And whether it's fun
Or a red-hot gun.
He's a son of the sea, by Gee!
