Thus the whole matter is disposed
of aud there will be no change in the
makeup of the synods for the pres

All Disturbances Suppressed
in Portugal
NOW IN uNDISPUIED CONTROL
Official of the New Republic Issues a
Statement of the Aims Of the
Provisional Government.

Lisbon, Oct. 8.-The establishment
of republic in Portugal is an accom-
plished fact. For city that has just
passed through the throes of bloody
revolution and sustained a lombard
ment Lisbon is in cloudless sunshine
and wears a smiling aspect.
The Republican flag autters on near
ly every building and from every vehi-
Gle; the streets are thronged with
promenaders, including a good sprink-
ling of tourists with guide books in
hand; shops and offices have been re-
opened and business generally has
been resumed. The only evidence Of
the recent perturbation are small
bodies of troops stationed in the prin-
cipal open spaces of the city and the
passage now and then of Red Cross
ambulances.
The noticeable outward signs of the
new regime are the presence every
where of the green and red flag of the
republic and the complete disappear
ance of King Manuels portrait from
public exhibition.
The most interesting man in Por-
tugal at the present moment is the
new president, Theophile Braga, who
may be said without exaggeration to
be the father not only of this revolu-
ton, but of that in Brazil, having by
his standing as a professor of history
and philosophy prepared the ground
for both movements.
Aims of New Government.
Senior Bernardo Machado, the min
lister of foreign affairs in the new gov
eminent, discussing the aims of the
republic, said:
THE provisional government has
before it great duty involving much
work. 1t has, in effect, country to
! make over. Among other programmes
we can say that we will endeavor. to
| put in operation the programme of the
| republican party. This includes a
policy of reform both in the local adj
| ministration and in the government of
| the colonies.
''The financial budget is to be equal
| lied in the general interests of the
| country and it will be made up with
| honesty and fairness. The national
wealth will be developed
Freedom of the press will be as
sured and all star chamber methods
and opportunist laws will be abolished
Public instructions will be completely
secularized, relieved from religious
control and the religious congrega
tons will be suppressed. We plan the
establishment of a broad system OF
public instruction, both primary and
advance. under governmental endow
ment.''
The casualties in the recent fight
ing are placed at $1,000.
| A decree has been issued exiline
the royal family and ordering religious
organizations to quit the country in.
side of twenty-four hours. The royal
family is now at Gibraltar.

From Civilization.

Miss Ivy Losey of Indianapolis, a
frail girl, twenty-five years old and
weighing less than 100 pounds, is
about to set out to win her fortune

Knowles, N. NJ, where the latter is
married to a physician.
With her brother-in-law's aid the In

fourteen months in the heart Of the

KAISER is MONEY MAKER.
Permits Names Use as Beer Ad.,
Though No Drnker


Though No Drinker.
It appears that what leisure time re-
mains to the kaiser after the affairs
of empire have been seen to is not en-
tirely devoted to the arts. He finds
opportunity to interest himself in the
material things Of life.
He has a commercial mind and is
keen on money making Unable to re-
sist the tips of that practical man of
affairs Prince Max Egon Won Fursten-
berg, his intimate friend, the emperor
has recently become identified with
several enterprises. He is in fact
member of a syndicate which is run
ming all sorts Of concerns. Estates,
the ground rents of towns, railways,
street tramways, lines Of steamers,
castles, colonial produce-these are
some of the things in which the kaiser
has been induced to invest on the ad-
vice Of Won Furstenberg.
The kaiser is even interested in a
modern hotel, holding most of the
shares in it. The beer consumed In
the hotel is brewed by Prince Max Won
Furstenberg and every bottle which
leaves the brewery bears this inscrip-
ton: ''This beer is drunk by his ma
jesty the kaiser"
The advertisement is good, though so
far as the kaiser is concerned it is
scarcely truthful, for it is well known
that he no longer drinks alcoholic bev-
erages. He is not a bigoted teetotaler.
He profits from thirsts which are
quenched by the beer brewed by his
friend

PAGOPAGO NAVAL DEPOT
STRATEGIC POINT IN WAR.
Government Occupies LandIocked Bay
of Pacific Island.

PagopagO is undoubtedly the finest
island harbor in the Pacific, either
north or south of the line. Ages ago
The bay was undoubtedly huge crater
occupying the center of the island
One day the water must have broken
through into the lava, causing an ex-
plosion which, in addition to settling
the island a thousand feet or more,
blew out big slice of the crater's
rim and dropped it out of sight some
where in the deep sea.
The place where the slice blew out
is the present entrance to the harbor,
and it is wide and deep enough to hold
the capitol at Washington without In
terfering with navigation.
So completely landlocked is the har
Dor, and so smooth are its waters in
all weathers that from anywhere in
the inner bay, except for the tropical
vegetation which clothes the noun
tains, it might pass for a Swiss lake.
The high mountain walls cut off the
rays of the morning and evening sun,
and the yelyety green of the wonder

month spent there the thermometer
registered 70 degrees F. The coolest
day was "a degrees at noon and Y de-

The naval reservation, with it's dock,

cupies the only extensive piece Of level
land on the bay.
Above, on a jutting promOntory
which commands the entrance to the
bay and every foot of the harbor line,
is the residence of the governor of
the island, a position usually filed by
the commanding officer Of the naval
station. At the end Of the bay, half
submerged in a forest Of cocoanuts,
