COMPLETE PORTUGAL PROBE
NO PROSECUTIONS FOR KILLING
KING CARLOS.
Suspicion Towards Persons Of High
Position compeIs Decision Not
to Press Investigation.

Lisbon, May 5.-The government
has completed it's investigation into
the plot that led to the assassination
last February of King Carlos and the
crown prince of Portugal, but it would
appear that the conspiracy had so
many ramifications and that so many
persons of position are either sus-
pected or implicated that it has been
decided not to bring any prosecutions.
Nevertheless, in order to keep up APP
pearances King Manuel, when he takes
his oath of Office, will grant general
political amnesty. This, however, will
only cover offenses up to January 30;
the assassinations occurred February 1.
Although King Manuel has expressed
his willingness to repay to the treas
ury the money advanced to the late
King Carlos the cabinet, on account
of the present condition of the inan-
ces Of the royal household, has de
cided to ask parliament to cancel
these debts.
DR.. Jose de Alpoim, chief Of the
progressive dissidents, who has been
a thorn in the side of the monarchy
is believed to have made deal with
the government by which one of his
followers will enter the cabinet at the
/ earliest possible opportunity.
The civil governor of Lisbon has Is
sued orders that all arms in the pos
session of private persons be surren
dered Immediately. After May any
person having arms in his possession
without the proper permission will b.
severely punished.

that modestly shades her features.
When the ceremony-which is never
witnessed by the guests-is completed,
she retires and changes her costume;
for the wedding kimono once doffed,
is never worn again.
When she is re-dressed, she appears
at the feast to which guests are bid
den. Very wealthy brides retire be-
tween each course sometimes there

When the feasting Is over, the "go-
between" couple conducts them to the
bridal chamber and serves them a spe-
cial cup called the "bed-wine." Dur
ing the marriage ceremony the bridal
pair do not drink the nine cups of
wine, but merely touch their lips to
the cup; for the well-known potency
of the sake would have them par
alyzed by about the fifth cup, and
they'd never get married at all.

The Republican View.

Presidents Roosevelt's views on the
necessity for tariff revision do not
harmonic with his known sentiments
on the academic question Of tariff re-
form, says the Chicago Journal, Re-
publican paper. All his life he has
been a low tariff man, as may be proved
by his writings and by the testimony
of his friends. Yet now, when the
whole country is clamoring for relief
from the exactions of tariff-protected
trust, he seems to be actuated by the
idea that immediate revision of the
tariff might imperil Republican chances
next fall.
Those who know what public senti-
ment is, however, could tell him that
revision of the tariff now would be the
best assurance of Republican success
at the presidential election.
The president and the standpatters
evidently think that public patience is
not yet exhausted, that citizens are
not yet weary of being promised relief
t'next year" from intolerable condit.
IONS
1t is plain that Republican managers
still think campaign contributions from
tariff beneficiaries more necessary to
Republican success than to make sure
of popular approval. Approval will be
obtained anyhow, through habit and
the old campaign devices.

said: "Kanye! Kanye!"
mo, l can't! and I'm hanged If
ever will" and with that turned away,
and the negotiation was at an end.
Now, what do you think was the
matter with the old fellow? Why, he
was not only a little touched in the
upper story, but he knew nothing Of
the cash system of his country later
than the vintage of 1868. He had been
left to tend the shop for few
moments, and as usual l fell VIC
tim to the change of circumstances.
Let 1t be said, that, according to Del
mar, the standard formerly was, as
in China, the small round iron or
bronze coins with the square hole in
the center which were of three denom-
nations: First, the mon; second, the
bunkyu; third, the shi-mon. The shi
was an oblong silver coin, and the
ichi-bu another; the latter being equal
to four shi. Kan-ye means the era of
coinage; but the era on the old coins
does not indicate the age of the
coin. For example, coins made about
1860 bear the name of the era kanye.
The manufacture of all these ceased
at the beginning of the present era of
Meidji that is to say, the 25th Of
January, 1868, which was the year
when the present emperor assumed
sovereign power. The mon is now
valued at one rim, and the bunkyu at
one and one-half rim. The old gold coins
and the oblong silver ones are only
to be found in the curio shops.
When her husband dies, even though
she may be young and charming, the
widows hair is cut off, and she is
doomed for the rest of her life TO
single blessedness and a cropped head.
An old-time custom, which is fortu-
nately dying out, was to blackep a
woman's teeth when she got married.
So it was hard to tell which was
most disfiguring- getting husband
or losing one. Every district has its
own distinctive marriage ceremony,
but the following is the one in gen
eral use:
No priest officiates at the marriage
ceremony. An elderly couple, called
the "go-betweens," conduct the court.
ship and assist the bride and groom
to perform the rite that makes them
man and wife, which consists OF
nine cups of wine drunk alternately
by the bride and groom, who hand
them to each other. This is called
the "san-san-kudo," literally three
three-nine," and means that they will
share the bitter and the sweet in life's
cup together
Sometimes there are the images Of
an old man and woman, a couple who
| lived happily for a hundred years;
also a bough of plum blossoms, sym
Dol of conjugal happiness.
The bride wears white, the mourn
ing color in Japan, to signify that hel
old life is ended-for marriage is too
often sort of death-in-life to thu
Japanese woman. She is virtually thu
