WASHINGTON, February 1.-Oficial
news Of the assassination of King
Carlos and the Crown Prince of Portu-

through a cablegram from Minister

simple announcement of the commits
sion of the crime.
President Roosevelt was at once noti-
fed by Acting Secretary of State Ba-
con and expressed his deep sorrow. He
will tomorrow send his formal express

Government officials and members of

the news and on every hand were
heard words of sorrow over the tragic
ending of Portugars monarch and Of
the heir of the throne.

having completed their labors for the
week, were sauntering through the
streets chatting and laughing and ready
to welcome the returning King as an
incident offering contrast to the monot-
ony of everyday existence. Others,
enthusiastic members of various polit-
zeal factions and friends of political
leaders now under arrest, also had as
sembled to see the King, who came back
to Lisbon at the end OF day which
was marked by the sternest of repres-
sive measures
1t was because of the beautiful
weather that an open carriage was in
waiting for the royal family, and when
they took their places they were greeted
with some lifting of hats, but mostly
in silence. Then, as the carriage sharp
ly turned into the Rua do Arsenal,
there was cracking of guns and
shower of bullets tore their way into
the bodies of the King and Crown
Prince and the little prince, who prov
ed an easy target. The assassins, num-
bering six in all, boldly ran up to the
sides of the carriage and poured in a
hail of lead before the surprised escort
could intervene The King and Crown
Prince half rising, fell back upon the
cushions, bleeding from many wounds.
FALLS ON KINGS BODY.
The coachman brought his whip
across the TANKS of his horses and with
bound they dashed away, disappear
ing into the arsenal quadrangle. The
panic-stricken people. who had fed on
all sides, could see the queen leaning
over the crown prince and her younger
son, who also was bleeding from wounds
made by the assassins' bullets.
How many shots were fred no one
could say, but it was a fusillade coming
from the right side of the street. The
effort of the Crown Prince, who was sit
ting opposite the King; to rise was pitt
full and without avail, for he just lift
ed himself sufficiently to pitch forward
and fall over the PROSTATE body of his
| father.
Queen Amelie, uttering a scream that
could be heard by all who had not be-
come frenzied by the attack, threw her
self toward her sons, shielding their
| bodiesfwith her own. She frantically
struck at the murderers with bouquet
of roses which she had been carrying,
but even in the face of this the men

arm by a bullet from a carbine. A

wounded, and it was stated that bull

RIDDLE AssAssINs.

Only mounted police accompanied the
carriage, as the King had refused mill
tary escort. The attack came from the
rear, for it was found afterward that
, the King had been shot in the back Of
the neck, and it was so entirely unex-
pected that the murderers had emptied
their carbines and revolvers almost be-
fore the police knew what was going
on aud had turned to flee into the
crowds that, now panic stricken, had
Dropped back before their weapons.
INF the guard charged upon them,
pursuing them down the street and rid
ding three with bullets. Hundreds of
people joined in the pursuit and the
others of the band of assassins were
made prisoners.
The royal carriage had been by this
time driven into the quadrangle and
the gates of the arsenal were shut.
The grief of Queen Amelie and Prince
Manuel was heart breaking. Within a
few minutes the queen mother, the
Dowager Queen Marie PA, the Duke of
Oporto, the kings brother, and the
ministers of state had assembled, all
weeping bitterly.
The news of the assassination spread
rapidly and thousands of people, be-
wildered and terrified, poured into the
streets. Soon the troops and police oc-
cupied all the prominent places and
the people hurried to their homes and
barricaded the doors and windows to
await in fear the unknown future. The
strictest measures were taken by the of
icers in charge of the troops to sup
press the first sign of disorder, but their
work was light There have been no
disturbances in Lisbon in the last "a
hours, and Sunday passed off only in
the deepest gloom, with the populace
mourning on every hand.
NEWS WITHHELD FROM POPE.
ROME. February 1.-The news of the
assassination of King Carlos and the
Crown Prince of Portugal at Lisbon
created a tremendous sensation in
Rome, both at the ouirinal and the
Vatican.
King Victor Emanuel at once tele-
graphed to the Queen of Portugal, who
is his cousin, his most profound sor-
row and expressed his warmest sym
pathy.
The Vatican was informed of the as
sassination by the Papal Nuncio at
Lisbon. The Pope had retired for the
night, and Cardinal Merry de Val
gave orders that he was not to be dis
turbed. Therefore news of the terrible
tragedy will not be communicated to
him until morning.

ALDRICH BILL A
step BACKWARD
Scheme Denounced by John 7.
Hamilton, Former President
American Banking Assn.

Washington. Jan. 31.-John T. Ham
ilton, former president of the American
Banking association, appearing before
the house committee on banking and
currency today, in the course of a vig-
orous statement, took position squaV
Iy behind the Mckinney financial bill !
representing the views of the currency
committee of the American Bankers as
sOciation, and in opposition to the bills
by Senator Aldrich and Representative
Fowler.
The scheme of the Aldrich bill for the
issuance of emergency currency on
such security as bonds of states, coun-
ties municipalities and certain corpora
lions was denounced by Mr.. Hamilton
as 'impracticable, unwise and financial
~ unsound." He asserted that this pro-
posed departure from the currency Sc
euTity system, which has obtained since
the foundation of the government lis
a step backward toward the conditions
from which arose the wildcat currency
in use before the civil war;
The marketing of n-gOvernment Sc
curities, he said, should be no part OF
the national business and. Furthermore,
the necessary delay incident to deter
mining the value of bonds offered as Sc
curity for the emergency currency
would make it unavailable until after
the crisis was past
Crises" he said ARE short, sharp
and dangerously decisive; the Aldrich
bill is a remedy offered after recovery

REFUSE TO SELL
TO THE SETTLERS
lIllman Discovers Something
About Land Grant Railroads
While on Western Trip.
RESOLUTION THE RESULT
WESTERN SENATORS KNEW ALL
ABOUT 1T.

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Till
man today introduced a resolution call
ing upon the president TO inform the
senate whether railroads receiving land
grants containing conditions requiring
that such should be sold to actual set
tiers only, and for amounts named in
the grants. have violated the terms of
the grants, and what action has been
taken by the department of justice in
respect to these matters.
The preamble of the resolution re-
rerred to the railroads of the Pacific
coast as the ones indicated, and stated
that the department of justice had in
formation concerning the matter. Mr..
hean objected TO the Immediate con-
sideration of the resolution, whereupon
Mr.. Tillman said he had discovered the
things he aimed at in his resolution
while on a trip in the west last sum-
mer. He was then told that these rail-
roads absolutely refused TO comply
with the terms of their grants and
would not sell their land.
fulton Was Posted.
Senator Fulton said he was familiar
with the matters referred to in this
resolution, and that the road against
which the complaint is aimed is now
part of the Southern Pacific system.
Mr.. Tillman said the resolution also
related 10 the Northern Pacific land
grants.
Mr.. Fulton continued. saying land
grants made in the '7Os were coupled
with the condition that the land should
be sold to actual settlers only at a
price not exceeding $3.50 per acre. "A
great deal of that land" he said, lis
held by the railroad companies, and
they refuse TO sell it for $3.50 an acre"
Mr.. Fulton said he believed in either
having the terms of the grants COM
piled with or in forcing the companies
TO return the land 10 the government.
Suggestion by Hepburn.
Mr.. Hepburn suggested that it has
been customary for the railroads to re-
quire settlers in purchasing land TO
purchase improvements they them
selves had made before the purchase,
and wanted that requirement also in
quired into.
The consideration of the resolution
was postponed.
Mr. Tillman then offered another
resolution relating to the same sub
ject. and directing the attorney gen.
eral to institute such proceedings on
behalf of the United States as may be
necessary to insure the compliance
with the conditions accompanying the
land grants or TO restore the lands to
the public domain, or report TO the con-
gress why such action had not been
or should not be taken. Without COM
ment this resolution was referred TO
the committee on judiciary.

he went by the name of Pain lanco

blowing up of the Canada hotel pre-
sumably was jealousy. They all
came from a province in Italy where
they're all brigands,' he declared.
Whether Ciddeo had il especially in

venture To guess.
Ciddeo is about IS years of age and
weighs about $50 pounds.
