problem of getting rid of coal lands in
the Rocky mountain region, it was
the consensus of opinion, at least in
the Senate, that the coal lands ought
to be sold for prices varying from $40
to 500 an acre. So the secretary of
the interior was authorized to sell
those lands at prices mot less than
$40 an acre" for lands more than 15
miles of railway, and not less than
$50 an acre" for lands within 15
miles of a railroad.
On the basis of that congressional
action, taken more than quarter of d
century ago, two gentlemen contend
ed Saturday in the United States Dis
trict Court in Denver that they had ii
right even now to buy coal lands from

Some reports have it that King Manuel

monarchy into a republic, and the
movement that began in the capital, is
likely to spread quickly throughout
the country.
The war ships began pombardng
the Kings palace at o'clock in the
afternoon with small show of resist
ance, and the supporters of the mon
archy were forced to capitulate.
Ever since King Manuel ascended
the throne there have been plots for
the overthrow of the monarchy and
against his life.
The republican party has been
planning for complete change in the
government, and King Manuel ac-
cording to the republican leaders, by
his disregard for the rights of the
people and his blind insistence on a
dictatorial system, has added to the
fires of the peoples wrath.
AS is usual under such conditions,
telegraphic communication with Lis
bon has been practically cut off; but
wireless dispatches from vessels lying
off Lisbon have amply confirmed the
