UPRISING is LIKELY.
CeesmaII Outbreaks Have Already oc-

Attempted Uprising - GoVernmen Mt
sees Crisis in Political Situation.

Lisbon Portugal, Feb. 24.-This city
resembles an armed camp. Soldiers
occupy all the public buildings, strong
patrols guard the streets, reserve
forces are held in readiness, though
concealed from the public view, at
nearly all public squares, while in
the barracks the entire garrison is
under arms. In all the larger cities
of the country similar preparations to
meet outbreaks have been made
For several days there have been
Tumors that the revolutionary out
breaks planned to organize at the time
of the late King Carlos assassination
have been arranged for.
In the few weeks King Manual has
welded the scepter the revolutionary
-agitators have been active The ban
1shment of former Premier Franco ap-
peased them for a short while, but
the demands made by the revolution
aries could not be granted by the gov
eminent, even under Manuel's prom
Uses of reforms, and the revolutionary
propaganda was resumed
Government spies have reported in
the last few days that plans were be
ing laid to start uprisings in severa'
parts of the country simultaneously.
Outbreaks have already occurred il
the provinces. Few details have
reached here. but it is known people
are in an extremely dangerous mood
Just how critical the situation is con
4sidered is shown by the sending of {
gunboat to Setubal Oporto is an
other dangerous point where demon
strations against the government ar,
to be expected at any time.
In case of a real conflict just hov
strong the government would prove il
predetermined.
Doubt Loyalty of Army.
Even the loyalty of the army is t
be doubted. The soldiers have no
agitators, and the ranks are honey
cOmbed with dissatisfaction. A de
cisive victory for the revolutionarie
would probably be followed by whole
sale assertions to the popular cause.
The danger is we'll appreciated b
the kings advisers, and this is tn
cause of the military preparations t
cr'sh any attempted uprising in il
1noipiency.
The duke of Oporto, accompanied b
strong guard, makes frequent il
spections of the various garriso
posts. All the public buildings, il
Guiding the Bank of Portugal, are O
cupied by heavy detachments of tt
municipal guard. The commerce
Lisbon reflects the secret uneasine'
of the people.
The political situation in which IL
government finds itself today is e
tremely critical, and there is much u
easiness as to the outcome. The go

La Provence VIII Try to Beat the
Big Cunarder.

New York, June 4.-The fast turbine
steamship Mauretania of the Cunard
line. which arrived here on Monday
night after breaking three records and
was unable to dock until 1870 a.. M
Tuesday, took aboard the last bucket
full of her 5000 tons of coal for her
eastward trip last night at 6 o'clock
She arrived here three days behind her
schedule time because of a sojourn in
drydock in Liverpool and her mailing
day from New York had to be changed
from yesterday to today.
1t is believed that she will make
record run eastward to Daunts Rock,
using the three of her four propellers
that brought her westward with three
records to her credit.
The big Cunarder. however. is not
the only steamer to leave port today
that is preparing for a record. The
French line steamship La Provence,
which boasts of beating the Deutsch-
land over the long course, will do her
best to give the Mauretania close
race as she sails today simultaneously
with the Cunard steamer at 10 a. m.
The French vessel has made the run
to Lizard in six days, two hours and
forty-eight minutes. with an average
of 21.s knots. Besides the Mauretania
and La Provence there will be other big
Transatlantic liners leaving port today
at the same hour

President Fallieres had been shot.
About 10000 troops defiled before the
Pantheon occupying about one and
one-half hours. After this President
Fallieres and the reviewing party en-
tered carriages and were driven away
under an escort of cuirassiers.
The Pantheon was then closed and
the casket with Zolas body was low
cred into the crypt and placed beside
the tomb of Victor Hugo. The pres
ent intention is to reopen the Pantheon
on Saturday and allow the public to
view the decorations.
Henry White, American. was the only
ambassador present at the ceremony
and the only chief of missions present
were the ministers of Norway, Hol-
land and Sweden.
1t has been learned that the mat
ter of attending the ceremonies mad

conferences among the diplomats. who
had been warned that great mani
festation was possible and their per-
sons might be in danger. Austen
ton of ambassadors and ministers was

RAIL0AD RATE RULES.
Commerce Commission Promulgates
Them to Public and Companies.

Washington, June At is expected
that a decision rendered by the
Interstate Commerce commission in
the matter of railroad rates will tend
to eliminate much trouble, some con-
troversy and make for uniformity in
railroad practice. The opinion handed
down by Commissioner Lane states
these conclusions:
shipper assuming the risk of loss due
to causes beyond the carriers control,
the condition is valid. If a rate is
conditional upon the shipper assum-
ing the entire risk of loss, the condi-
ton is void as against loss due to the
carriers negligence or other m1scon-
duct.
eff a rate is conditional upon the
shipper agreeing that the carriers la
bility shall not exceed a certain Speci
fled value, the stipulation is valid when
the loss occurs through causes beyond
the carriers control even when loss is
due to the carriers negligence, If the
shipper himself declared the vaiue ex-
pressly or by implication. the carrier
accepting it in good faith as the real
value and the rate of freight peInS
fixed in accordance Herewith The
stipulation is void as to loss due TO
the carriers negligence or other mis-
conduct if the specified amount does
not purport to be an agreed vaiua-
ton, but has been fixed arbitrarily by
the carrier without reference to the
real values, or if the purported agreed
valuation is in fact purely fictitious
the carriers liability to an arbitrary
amount.
"a scale of charges applicable to a
specific commodity and graduated rea-
sonably according to value, must
be in good faith. regard being had to
the actual value of the property offer
ed for shipment. A carrier MIST not
make use of it's released rates as a
means of escaping liability for the con-
sequences of it's negligence.
s'It is mischievous practice for car
riers to publish in their tariff and on
their bills of lading rules and regula-
lions which are misleading. unreason-
able or incapable Of legal enforcement
in a court of law. and a stipulation
that an additional charge OF 20 per.
cent shall be collected on property that
is shipped not subject to limited la
bility is unreasonable"

Banks Can No Longer Get Govern
ment Money for Nothing.

Washington, June 4.-Under the
terms of the new currency law passed
by congress in the closing hours OF
the last session, banks in which funds
of the government are deposited must
hereafter pay interest for use of such
funds. An exception is made in the
case of those banking associations
designated as national repositories,
In which funds are placed strictly for
the use of the governments own ex-
penses. There are outstanding about
S72.000,000 of government funds on
which interest must be paid by banks
and by an odd coincidence similar
amount rests in repositories not sub
5ect to tax 1t was stated at the
treasury department that not only
would the tax be charged on all de-
posts of government money made in
the future, but that the tax would be
payable on funds already deposited In
banks from the time the new law be-
came effective. The rate OF interest
chargeable is to be not less than 1
secretary of the treasury may deem
proper. For the present, however.
the probable rate of interest will be
I per cent per annum.
IN the south and the west each
year huge sums of money are neces-
sary to move the crops, ana govern,
ment funds have frequently aided
greatly in relieving the situation. Dur
ing the recent stringency there was
q cry for government funds from the
crop centers. Hereafter banks must
pay for money lent by the government
to move crops.
In the banks designated as regular
repositories, the government de-
posts funds to carry on necessary ex-
penditures OF the government In
various parts of the country. The
government is benefited by lending
the banks this money, and in many
cases, it is said. banks are not only not
anxious to be repositories of govern
ment funds but have asked to be ex-
cused from acting as repositories.
there has, therefore. been no tax
placed upon these regular deposits.
