 Lisbon. Feb, 2--All Portugal ts over wheimed today at the killing of the King and Crown Prince.
 Though torn by internal dissentions the past few months, terrorized by acts of crime and bloodshed, uprising fni the streets, outrages with knife and bomb and always fearful lest these signs ot revolution would culminate in some dreadful outburst of passion. Portugal was not prepared for the blow that felI yesterday when the King and Prince were shot to death in a public place where thousands had gathered to greet their homecoming.
 All last night Queen Amelie. in the Royal Palace, sat. between the baers. where rested the bodies of her hHs- band and her son. prostrated with grief. Troops guarded the palace; a squadron of cavalry surrounding the house in which Premier Franco passed the night: special details were drawn up before public buildings and reserves were quartered in barracks ready for a call that might come to spring to arms.
 But Lisbon did not sleep. Scarcely soul throughout the city closed eyes. An unnatural silence prevailed for after the first awakening to the tragedy that had been enacted, with its attendant noises and confusions, shops and cafes were closed; the doors of theaters were hastily locked; I; houses were barricaded and the streets were cleared. No one might say where the next blow would fall, and revolution that sweeps through a city like fire in dry places, drove the people into their homes and other places where they might be secure

 Returning from a sojourn at ths Kings estate at Villa Vicosa, accom- panied by the Queen, the Grown Prince and the Infant Manuel. the soverign seemingly was in happy mood when he stepped into the carriage in waiting at the railroad station. Thous- ands of spectators gaily attfred in common with the bright decorations set out to welcome the royal family. made an animated scene. All the sur rounding streets were filled with gay light hearted throngs waiting to greet the King. and though guards were sta toned all along the route, no one had thought of tho dastardIy atten1pt which was to come. The people were allowed to circulate as freely as they pleased and for short time so great ware the crowds the driver of the car riage had diniculty in making a start.
 Scene nt the Station.
 The entire court. ministers and ladies in waiting and many army officers, were in the station when the train drawing the royal family pulled in. The weather was glorious. almost like sum- mer, with warm soft breezes blowing in from the ocean. The sun. whose rays were uninterrupted by clouds. was almost setting at the moment the royal party arrived.
 Among those in the throngs without were large numbers of the working classes, who, having completed their labors of the week, were sauntering through the streets chatting and laugh
