nounced in a telegram which was re-
ceived Sunday from one Of the highest
ofiioials in oporto by his brother, who
has Just arrived here from Lisbon.
According to the telegram. a large
number of conspirators have been ar

also stated that numerous bodies OF
militant republicans had been seen
about the suburbs OF oporto. The po'
lice captured large store OF revolvers

plans indicated that it was the in
tention to take the city by surprise
on Saturday night, invade the govern
ment house. imprison the governor

Thousands View Royal Dead.
Lisbon, Feb. 10.-Thousands Of Por-
tuguese poor and rich, humble and
pretentious, filed slowly through the
noble cathedral Of San Vicente Sunday
and gaZed for, the last time on the
faces of their late king and crown
prince. d: ......
When night fell and the doors Of the
church we're closed there was still a
large crowd patiently awaiting admis-
sion. They turned away disappointed
when informed that the public lying-in'
state had been Interrupted until Mon
day. On that day at two o'clock in the
afternoon the caskets will be closed
and transported to the Pantheon
where, with further ceremonies, they
will be placed in the sepulcher.
All the people wore some emblem oil
mourning and in passing the cofins
placed beneath them floral offerings
The bodies were guarded by officers oil
the army and navy, royal archers and
the palace guards. Masses were said
at various affairs for the dead and
prayers were offered in many homes
In official circles it is believed that
the ceremonies in connection with the
coronation of King Manuel may not
occur for two or three months, ant
perhaps may never occur, as thu
young king wishes to inaugurate hi
reign with as little ostentation as pos
sible. a. ..r. ... s.
Indications point to relative tranquil
lty for a few weeks, when republican
activity and determination to proclaim
republic, which appear strongly IL
evidence, may force important devel
opments. ~ BIZ .ss..'

FRIDAY AS \ "HOODOO."

Friday, the day on which Bryan. nomination was completed by the Den yer convention, despite the stopped clock, may be unlucky for those who are condemned to hang, but opinior seems divided as to it's being a "hoo. doc day." and a search of history re- ycals many Fridays as days of tri- umph. The Pilgrims landed safely on Plymouth rock on Friday, December 20, 1920, which was lucky for their descendants; the British surrendered at Yorktown on a Friday, Octaber 19 17Sl, which was unlucky for the Brit the Nina and the Santa Maria on his voyage on a memorable Friday, Aug ust 1, 1492, and it was on a Fri lay also that he got his first glimpse of land, Friday, October 12, 1492, an event which was more fortunate for us than for him, it proved Columbus also landed on his second voyage on a Friday, November 22, 1493, and on Friday Jaunary 13, 1494, he discov- cred the coast of North America George Washington was born on Fri day, fact to which Bryan and Kern, nominated on that day, will be able to point with pride" None of them could have helped it.

JUDGE TAFT'S DILEMMA.

A good deal of curiosity is ex-
pressed as to what Judge Taft will
say on the injunction plank of the
Republican platform. Will he re-
pudiate the plank or will he stand
on it? If he stands on 1t, he com
mits himself to nothing because the
plank is meaningless. If he repudi-
ates it, he will not only repudiate
his own party, but his own judicial
record as well. This is a large UNI
dertaking, even for large man.
