Campaign Against Anarchy

Lisbon, June 2l.-LisbOn is alive
With troops today in anticipation Of dis
orders following King MsnuePs insugu-
ration of campaign against anarchy
and his move to punish the slsyers OF
bis father and brother, the late King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz. The ar
rest of several Of the accused leaders in
the regieide plot of sixteen months ago
means that King Manuel has concluded
that the time is ripe to establish n
vigorous government and proceed against
the regicides, who have TINS far been
able to escape punishment through the
governments fear that their prosecution
would precipitate a revolt. There is
still grave danger of revolt, but the
government has been quietly at work
with military preparations to combat an
uprising, and it is now believed that
any attempted demonstration against
the government will be crushed in its
incipiency,

SENATE.

When the Senate met today considers-
ton of the duty on hides Was resumed,
with Senator Warren, as the first speaker
of the dsy. He said that the leaders OF
the tanners and leather trusts bad in
suited the Senate by charging
that the tariff on hides had been
brought by a trick in conference twelve
years ago. They we're guilty of false
hood, he said, in their statement that
the packers had asked for duty on
hides, that the farmers would get no ben
eft from that duty aud that the tanning
industry was languishing.
1t Was the scheme of the tanners aud
leather manufacturers, Mr.. Warren de-
clared, to deprive the farmer of the
so or 81 which comes to him from
The tariff on hides and to absorb that
money without giving any benefit to the
consumers.
Senator Warren ridiculed the state
meut that had been made by Senator
Lodge that the duty on hides was a
curse to New England.
Senator Carter after declaring that
every product of New Eoglsnd and
Pennsylvania had been carefully pro-
tected in the pending bill, and that be
WAS astonished to hear the senator from
NJ Massachusetts,, (Mr. Lodge, pleading
for free hides in the detriment OF the
farmer and 10 the interest of the most
gigantic trust ever formed.

FEW people are again engaged in

A FEW people are again engaged IN
the periodical talk Of retroCediDg Alex
audris to the District Of Columbia. This
is akin to distemper which exists 10
sporadic cases In England when certain
people talk of turning Gibraltar over to
Spain. The majority of the people OF
this city are and always will be sverse to
pIaciug themselves under toe yoke OF
the District of Columbia, while the state
of Virginia would naturally resort to the
court of highest resort we're an attempt be
made to further despOil her OF her terri
torv. The loss she experienced during
the civil war by the federal government
allowing the people Of West Virgins to
form a separate state WAS unjustihsble,
Int that was accomplished when the
bsnds of the Old Dominion we're tied.
Some people dream that the commercial
condition of Alexandra would material
" improve should our people surrender
their liberty, suffrage and self-govern-
ueut aud become The tail of the Wash
iugton kite. The history of the city up
70 1916, when Alexandria came back
To Virginia should be sufficient to ex-
plode this bauble. The city was vlr:
tually nothing from the time it was
made a part Of the District Of COlumbis,
shortly after the close of the revOlu-
eiouary war, until after Il was retroceded
TO Virginia. Railroads we're built, the
old Alexandra canal was opened, loco
motive works and other plants were
established and Alexandra was rapidly
forging to the front when the civil war
gave the city temporary setback. Dali
ing the time the place was known az
Alexandria, ID. o." not single gov.
eminent building WAS erected on the
south bank of the river, nor was any at-
tention whatever paid by the federal
government to the little town. There Is
no reason to suppose a dollar would he
spent here by the government In the
twentieth century were the city again
incorporated as part of the District OF
Columbia. A Washington paper yes
terdsy in endeavOring to fan into blaze
the few smoulderiUg embers of retrOces-
sion, among other things said:
OF the advantages Alexandria would
derive from annexation, they are in a
sense too manifold Ior enumeration.
Charming little city rs it is, cOmpari
son of its present streets, roads, water
and lighting systems, general wealth and
prosperity with those of the District of
OOlumbis is all the argument needed to
convince those who might be inclined to
doubt The wisdom of Incorporating
Alexandria into the District.
We cannot, ii is true, measures purses
WITH the capital city of the nation, but
we are prepared to enter protest when
Alexandra streets, our water and light
ing are reflected upon. Some Of our
streets are paved as well as any thorough
fares in the world, while the sewer sys-
tenn OF the city is being extended all the
time. So far as water is concerned our
supply has always ranked as high as
any in the country for purity.

His Only Official Act Was to Take the Oath of Of- tice After Which He Resumed His Vain Quest of Health.

Paso Robles Hot Springs, March 2s Governor Samuel G. Cosgrove oi Washington died suddenly at 3:3C this morning of chronic Brights dis ease. Although ke governor had been in poor health some months prior to his election in November, the strain of the work weakened him considerably and he came to the springs early in January to recuper- ate.
 After staying while he felt so much better that he risked journey to Olympia several weeks ago. where he took the oath of office, returning almost immediately to Paso Robles. The trip proved too much for his strength and since his return his con- ditiOn gradually grew worse. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. Mrs. Cosgroye. his wife. was in constant attendance and was at his bedside when the end came.

A FINAL SOLUTION
 OF BALKAN QUESTION
At the Suggestion of the Powers Ser
 via Abandons Her Position.

Vienna, March 2s.-Complete ar rangements have been reached re- garding the steps taken at Belgrade on the basis of the proposals made by Sir Edward Grey. British foreign secretary to Baron Von Aehrenthal. the Austro Hungarian foreign minis ter. for a settlement of the difficulty between Austria and Servia.
 Representatives of the powers at Belgrade tomorrow will advise Ser via to make a declaration to the ad- ministration at Vienna, supplementary to the Servian note of March 14. In this note Servia referred Austria to her previous note to the powers. and in the latter note, Servia, while with drawing her demand for compensa- ton, still maintained that the ques- tion of the annexation of Bosnia, Herzegovina, should be regulated by the powers. The greatest satisfaction is felt everywhere over this happy solution of the crisis and Austria will now be able to turn her attention to home questions. During the last few months the government has spent s140,0GO,0 900 in warlike preparations.
