FIGHT TO SEE THEIR DEAD
Portuguese Anxious for Final View Of
King and Crown Prince.

Lisbon, Feb. 10:-There was almost
a riot on the part of the populace to
get into. the cathedral where the bod
les OF King Carlos and Crown Prince
Luiz are lying in state. The crowd
waiting outside for chance to get
last sight of tho murdered king and
his son was 50 great that the police
were unable to close tho cathedral
doors at the hour appointed for the
beginning Of the ceremonies Of the
final intermert. It is estimated that
no less than 10000 people were striv-
ing at one time to make their way
into the cathedral. The police and
the gendarmes made futile efforts to
drive this mass back from the por-
tails. 1t was quite impossible to even
hold the people in check. The surg
ing multitude thrust the police to ono
side and forced in side door to the
cathedral. through which it poured
into the main edifce.
Cavalry finally was summoned to
dispense the crowd and found 1t nee

MISTAKEN IDEA.

A labor union movement Is under

congress that future battleship con-
struction be done in government

it is declared, will be eliminated by
this course, and, incidentally, the
unions be put in better position to
demand higher wages and shorter
hours from the political bosses. A
mistaken idea, If the political graft
end of it is eliminated. Benefit to
the people from government yard

boring men who are conscientiously
supporting the movement In the be-
lief that it will mean better ships at
less cost to the government need to

The blacklist matter, which caused
ali the trouble, has been widely dis
cussed. but the fact has been appa-
rently lost sight of that In demand
ing the wiping out of the blacklist,
contract jumping will be encouraged
rather than suppressed. 1t is under

Veteran baseball magnates who re-
member the blacklisting of several
players In 1875 for crooked work will
insist that contract jumpers should
be similarly treated.
William Pulliam is probably safe
in his berth for the present, he is
sure to have big fight on his hands
when he tries for reelection next
December. At the annual meeting
of the National league last December
Pulliam's election was not unani-
nous. He was opposed by the New
York club, as the latter also opposed
his election two years ago and will
fight against him next December
But the next time the New York
club will not be alone in opposing
Pulliam. Garry Herman is sure to
work against Pulliam because of the
latter's personal attack some time
ago. Mr.. Hermann has big follow
ing and he is sure to get support.
st. Louis will probably stand with
Hermann if he makes the fight, and
Chicago being James A. Harris baili-
wick, would also be expected to stick
with Hermann. This with New
York, would give Hermann four clubs
and the deciding vote would be with
Brooklyn.
Pulliam is sure of the support of
Pittsburg, Boston and Philadelphia.
Barney Dreyfus is sponsor for Pulli-
am. and as Barney owns stock in the
Boston and Philadelphia clubs it is
quite natural that Pulliam would get
these votes. No matter how the con-
troversy between Mr.. Pulliam and
Mr.. Hermann terminates, the present
head of the National league will meet
strong opposition If he tries for re-
election next December.
John T. Brush and Hermann, who
have always been more or less OPP
posed to Pulliam, would undoubtedly
turn to James A. Hart, for they re-
gard him as the strongest executive
that could be named. The chances
ere that nearly all of the older club
owners in the league would favor
Hart for the job in case he would
consider it. The other possibility is
John Heydler, at present serving as
secretary of the league.

harmony in the warning camps.
While the friends of Pulliam claim
to control the situation, Hermann
