Formed BuWark of Reaction English Fear Catholic ln-
 vasion and Protest.

Madrid, via Hendaye, Oct. 29.- Doubtful of the loyalty of the Span. ish army to the government, Spain is today bending every effort to strengthen her civil guard, the strong est bulwark of reaction in the coun. try.
 Recruiting is going on everywhere for the guard, and since the revolu tion in Portugal to membership has been doubled
 The civil guard is distinct from the regular police, corresponding more nearly to the F1anch gendarmerie or to the Mexican rurales. In the viciu ity of Barcelona alone the govern ment now has 5000 guardsmen ready for service.
 While the troops, which are recruit ed from the people, share the latter's sympathies and prejudices and are saturated with republicanism, the They are we'll paid, and instead ot being gathered hap-hazard by con- scription, are picked from just the material the government wants. The prisons contribute largely to the fill ing of their ranks
 Fears Catholic Invasion.
 London, Oct 29.-For fear that there will be a wholesale invasion or the British Isles by expelled mem bers of Portuguese religious orders, militant Protestants in England are today urging the government to take steps to prevent such an outcome to the recent Portuguese revolution
 In the last four years, it is pointed out. England has received nine-tenths of the monks and nuns driven from France. They have settled all over the country, and built large monas- teries and convents.
 The ultra Protestants see in tnis Catholic increase in the population an enormous increase in the popes pow CT in England, and quite apart from religion, English Protestants have an inherited fear of the Vatican.

 Attorney General Wickersham up set the plans at the White House. He told reporters that not only had he been ignored in the selection of Lewis, but that he knew of no vacancy in the department of justice to which Mir. Lewis could be appointed.
 The situation is mystifying to those who have intimate relations with both the White House and department of justice. Secretary Norton and other persons authorized to speak for Presi- dent Taft will neither deny nor con- firm the story that Lewis is to be appointed

voted against a proposition which Presi-
dent Taft has strongly advocated. at least
on two occasions. in public addresses.
In Milwaukee. when he was On his long

dent characterized as a "hunco game"
the part that the government took in

any legislation that comes along we
should take care Of that issue of per

Again, in his recent speech in New
York City. the President said:
I'VE have now about s700 100000 OF
| per cent bonds with respect to which we
owe a duty to the owners to see that
those bonds may be taken care of with

Central Bank of Issue.
The cry that some Of the insurgents
have raised in the debates in the Senate
| is that the postal savings bank bill was
/ intended to make a market for these
| S76o, Ooo.000 worth of bonds, and that II
was merely part Of plan to reconcile
the national backs to the proposition of
having a central bank OF issue. The
other point that the insurgents made was
that the power of the President to with
draw the postal savings deposits should
be limited merely to times of actual war
fare, and not, as the administration forces
desired, to times OF warfare. and TO other
exigencies in which the national credit
may be involved. While the insurgents
gained their point ia regard to the s7oo,-
0o0.Ooo of bonds. they suffered a decisive
defeat on the latter proposition, which
was embodied in the so-called Cummins
amendment
This amendment was the first one put
to vote. and indicated that the organiza-
ton forces had the situation well IN
hand. The amendment was defeated by
vote of 10 to Is, nine Democratic SEN
