That King Manuel is safe out of
Portugal is disclosed by dispatches
from Gibraltar which say that he
landed there Thursday night in COM

dowager queen and the Duke of Opor

therefore now under British protec-

rigorous censorship still prevents
the details of occurrences in Lisbon
from becoming known but dispatches
that have come through by way of the
frontier and direct indicate that the
lighting in the streets of the Portu-
guese capital was of longer duration
and of a more severe nature than at
first reported.
Nothing is known of Thursday s
events al Lisbon and this in connection
with the statements made by Premier
Cana1ejas to the Spanish chamber of
deputies that the government was not
cCgnizant of the establishment of a
provisional government at Lisbon and
that reports had come to him that
fighting in the streets had been re-
newed, together with the Lisbon des-
patch that a portion of the entrenched
troops had refused to adhere to the
republicans, shows that the provisional
government has been obliged to take
precautions against a loyalist attack.

FOR SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS.
Amendment to Constitution of Protest
ant Episcopal Church of America.

Cincinnati Oct. 6.-The house of dep
uties of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of America in convention to-
day passed an amendment to the con-
stitution. providing for suffragan bish-
ops throughout the dioceses of the
church.
The debate brought out the fact that
the object of the suffragan bishops was
not only to look after the people of a
particular nationality or race, but also
to assist bishops who preside over dio-
ceses too large for any one bishop to
handle.
The amendment@stated that these
suffragan bishops do not necessarily
succeed to the, bfshopric in the diocese
to which they. have been appointed in
the case of the removal of the bishops
of these .dioceses. On the other hand,
they do not lose their opportunity to
succeed each other to the bshopric of
the diocese in which they are working
or in any other diocese. providing they
are selected in the usual way

CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON.
Principle of the Indeterminate Sen-

bers.

Washington. Oct. 6.-After opposing
for thirty years the efforts of Ameri-
can criminologists to induce the inter-
national prison congress to endorse the
principle CT the indeterminate sentence
which underlies the reformatory sys-
tenn, the European members of the
congress today yielded and resolutions
advocating this system were adopted.
The resolutions declared that the in
determinate sentence should be ap-
piled to the mentally and morally de-
fective and that it also should be ap
piled i''as an important part of the re-
formatory system to criminals, partic-
ularly young delinquents. who require
reformation and whose offenses are
due mainly to circumstances of an in
dividual character"
1t was declared to be advisable to
fix the maximum duration of the SEN
tence only during such a period as it
might be necessary because of the nov
city of the institution and lack of ex-
perience with it.
