the fighting exceeds fifty, while hun
dreds were wounded. Twenty persons
were wounded in clashes at Oporto.
The King Is safe.
London. Oct. 6.-Sir F. H. Villiers,
British minister at Lisbon, telegraphed
the foreign Office early today that the
republican revolution apparently had
been accomplished and there seemed
to be no reason to fear further vio-
lence.
The minister states the whereabouts
of King Manuel are unknown to him
but he is assured that the monarch is
safe. He is not, however, the minister
adds. on a British ship.
\ special dispatch from Lisbon says
the fighting in the city lasted forty
hours, both parties showing extraordi-
nary courage. There were many
casualties before the monarchists
finally joined the winning side.
The correspondent says the enthusi-
asm of the people was unbounded. The
citizens are fraternizing with the
troops. Notwithstanding the fact that
there is no organized police force the
population is orderly.
Proclamation Issued.
Lisbon, Oct. 6.-The following procla-
nation has been issued by the provis-
ional government to the Portuguese
| people:
The people, army and navy have sue
ceeded in proclaiming republic. The
Braganza dynasty, mischfevous and
disturbing to social peace, has been for
ever eXiled from Portugal
This rare event, representing the
pride of an untamable race and the sal
walton of country whose bravery is
proverbial, fills with enthusiastic joy
the hearts of patriots and finally ends
| our country's bondage
Our aspiration for a regime of lib
| erty stands revealed brightly in its viz
gin essence.
"Citizenst the present moment re
deems and recompenses for all strug-
giles and the sOrrOwful apprehenSiOns
we endured. This moment must be the
| commencement of a period of austere
morality and immaculate justice, in or
| der that the glorious communion of
J principles shall make of our sacrifices
| for our country the base of our politi-
| cal program and our generosity toward
| the vanquished, the base of our
moral program.
| "CitizenSi let interest for our beloved
country animate you, and a single de-
! Slre-that to be great-unite you. The
| republic has confidence in the people
! for the maintenance of social order, re-
| spect for justice and devotion to the
| common cause of liberty. Consolidate
| with your love and sacrifice the work
! which springs from the Portuguese re-
/ public"
/ The revolution was decided upon only
at o'clock Monday night, at the urg-
/ ent insistence of Admiral Refs. The
| government had ordered the cruiser
| Don Carlos to leave port the following
day.
| This tardy decision prevented profit
/ ing by all the elements favorable to the
! revolution. Some of the positions held
! by the revolutionists in Lisbon have
! been reinforced as a precaution against
/ possible attacks by troops. which have
( not yet adhered to the republic.

Manuel, the Deposed King of Portugal.

Public order has been restored at
Lisbon and the populace are peaceful
" celebrating the advent of the re-
public proclaimed. Premier Teixeira
de Sousa this afternoon formally re-
linquished the reins of government to
provisional president Theophile Braga
and his associates.
This much is known from the few
cable dispatches that the censor has
permitted to go out of the capital and
from wireless messages sent from
vessels in the harbor. OF other events
throughout Portugal little definite has
been learned. Intense interest centers
in the whereabouts of King Manuel
and in the question whether the re-
public will endure.
His majesty is variously reported at
Cintra, at CaXias and on board the
royal yacht Queen Amelia bound for
the protecting shores Of England.
1t is certain the queen mother Ame-
liza and the kings grandmother, the
dowager empress. Maria Pia are on
this vessel enroute for Gibraltar.
Communication between Lisbon and
the provinces is severed and the at
titude of the people in the country in
doubt There are rumOrs of loyalist
forces moving on the capital and
threatening civil war. These cannot be
confirmed but the lOyalists are said to
cherish the hope that an uprising in
the country districts will restore the
monarchy
Madrid. Oct 6.-Advices from the
Portuguese capital, the authenticity of
which can be safely assumed, are
rneager. The report of continued fight
ing, however, is from a news source
and may have escaped the censor.
Practically all of the dispatches from
Lisbon last night conveyed the i'm
preston that the revolutionistS were in
l., !
accepted the republic as an accom-
plished fact.
IT is borne in mind, however, that
inst as the monarchy exercised a strict
censorship over outgoing dispatches
I,ravious to the outbreak of the revoIu-
tion. the revoluticnists, being in con-
trol If the cable and telegraph wires,
are now in a position to dictate what
of the present situation shall be made
known to the outside world. Accord
tngly further adviceS that may reach
the frontier by post or messenger are
avvaited with interest. One dispatch
which came today by way of Vigo de-
cIared that troops faithful to the king
etiII held important points last even
ing and that continued fighting during
the night was expected
IT was admitted, however, the repub-
Ucaus had gotten the upperhand after
so hours of fighting.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. Choke Smith has
been elected to serve a second term as

Incomplete returns indicate that
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown, who de-
feated Smith two years ago, and who

before the voters as an Independent
Democratic candidate, did not receive
a majority of the votes cast in any one
of the 146 counties of the state.

THERE WAS LIGHT FROST.
Mercury Dropped to AZ Degrees Last
Night.

Topeka is the center of a very high
pressure area this afternoon in which
the wind is blowing every direction at
the rate of but two miles an hour.
This is an unusual condition and the
instruments on the top of the Mulvane
building are in convulsions. The high
pressure center here is the point where
the atmosphere settles slowly and is
pushed out to every point of the com
pass said Observer Flora, "and it is
impossible to tell which way the wind
is blowing The rate is only two miles
an hour
This condition of the atmosphere per-
mitted a light frost last night with a
temperature of AZ degrees. The first
general frost over Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska and Iowa occurred last night
The heaviest frost in Kansas was at
Dodge City. Western Nebraska eXper-
fenced a killing frost which extended
into southern Utah. The forecast is
for generally fair weather tonight and
Friday and frost tonight.

ton to the Spanish officials and an
other report from the frontier is that
the superintendent of the railroad be-
tween Lisbon and Badjose had notified
all the station agents on the line of the
change of government in Portugal.
Madrid, Oct. 6.-The struggle be-
tween the revolutionists and loyalists
at Lisbon continues today.
A telegram received from Badajoset
on the frontier this morning stated
that the Mother Queen Amelia is now
known to be aboard her yacht.

regarding the formation of a pro-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
PENSION LEGISLATION.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The appropriation for pensions for
the coming year has been made, about
S15J 100000, The amount IS we'll up with
the enormous sum ot recent years; and
yet We are forty-flve years removed from
the close OF the Civil War, and for many
years forty Thousand veterans. IL is said,
have annually passed away. Nevertheless,
efforts TO get more from the American peo-
pie either to enlarge amounts paid or to
Greats new conditions for pensions. are as
persistent as ever.
Now comes ''ths officers retirement bill,
which your correspondent estimates Will
cost the government S15,OOO.000 a year. But
an amendment Is added to this bill 20 paw
81 a day for all soldiers incapacitated IN
the Civil War. Is not this amendment very
elastic in It's application? Years are likely
10 bring infirmitieS % any one, whatever
may have been his former experiences. and
cannot any veteran touched with rheuma-
tism or other ailment attribute his disor-
der to war experiences? Thus an enormous
amount win be added TO the great sums al
ready given By a generous people.
President Taft in his Newark speech ex-
pressed his expectation of q steady diminu-
tion of pension payment The people ex-
pect the same. surely it IL time for Con
gress TO halt in pension legislation and.
whether elections loom up or not. to re-
fuse to add 10 present laws until the sum
now paid is greatly reduced
