Lisbon, Jan. 1.-THE governments
effort to end the railroad strike was
renewed today, three of the strikers
leaders being summoned for a confer

Relief stations were opened today
for the distribution of supplies to the
poorer classes. Shop keepers had taxi
en- advantage of the lack of food caus-
ed by the tied-up condition of the rail-
roads and had fixed exorbitant prices,
causing much suffering. Reports
were received here today that a large
section of the railroad tracks near
Oporto had been blown up with dyna-
mite.
The continued refusal of the rail-
road employees to accept an increase
in wages, has strengthened the belief
that monarchist agents are lending
their support to the workmen in the
hope of being able to restore King
Manuel to the throne.

War in Morocco.

Paris, April 29.-An undated dis
patch from Tangier says the French n.y.
ing column for the relief Of Fee is re-
ported to have arrived within thirty
miles of its objective.
Tangier, April ga United
Morocco will oppose the new French
expedition, be sent into that country
to crush the rebellious trihesmen, and
reseat Mulai Haffid on the throne.
Word to that effect was sent to the
French representatives here today by
Raisuli, the noted bandit chief. He
stated in his warning that if additional
French soldiers are sent into the coun-
try the effect will be rally all Of the
mountain tribes around the banner OF
MuIai lin, the pretender. Then a
holy war be declared and the result
must inevitably be long and tiercely
contested campaign.
According to the message received
from Raisuli, who seems to be actuated
by friendly motives toward France, the
Riff tribesmen are already preparing
to take up arms against the foreigners.
Raisuli suggests that all attempt he
made to treat further with the rebels
before starting the punitive expedition
toward Fee.
It's reported that the expedition
under Col Bremond, after desperate
fighting in which more than half OF the
soldiers were killed, succeeded in gett-
ing into Fee last Wednesday. 1t pro-
ceeded at once to the French consul
late and relieved the little handful Of
foreigners who were holding that en-
closure. 1t is now hoped that all Of
the foreigners will be safe until re-
lief expedition can fight its way through
to the Moroccan capital.
There is as yet 20 official confirma-
ton Of this report which comes through
native sources, neither is it known
whether Col. Bremond was killed 10
the fighting en- route TO this city.

REVISE THE TEN COMMAND
ME.NTS.

Revise the Ten Commandments,
said Rev. George A. Douglas, canon
Of the Cathedral of st. John the Divine,
New York, in speaking yesterday in
Washington at the twenty-ninth Con-
gress Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, on the need for prayerbook
revision to meet present day condI-
tons
Let US have the courage, " he SAID,
TO restore our prayerbook version
OF the Ten Commandments to what
scholars are pretty generally agreed
was the original and shorter form.
He said that with The movement
for church unity, the Roman Greek
and Anglican churches ultimately
must be able to come together in pub
lie worship. In revision,' he sug-
gested, we must not snap the links
that bind us to these ancient
churches. y
He regarded the present Book OF
Common Prayer az unsuitable for
working people and so-called socialists,
who have been attracted to the Chris
tan churches. The revised prayer
book should give ministers the right
on occasions to pray extempore with
out appearing to be either rampant or
radical. E"
Rev. DR.. Henry R. Gummey, OF
Hadonfeld, n. j., opposed revision
pending careful study by an inter
national council representing all the
branches oithe Anglican church. Rev.
Dir. Percy S. Grant OF New York,
urged prompt action in shortening the
church service.
Rev. Dr.. Cyrus Townsend Brady, Of
Kansas City, Mo-, declared that he
would oppose any revision which
would take away anything from the
ancient truth or the beauty Of the
prayer book.
Rev. William NJ. Gilbert. OF ion-
kers, n. T., speaking on the place of
meditation in the development Of
Christian character, said that even ply
steal ills often are cured by meditation
the effect produced on the
emotional centers, which are the seat
OF the ills.
Rev. Dr.. J. Clarence Jones, Of
Brooklyn, believed that this is

that men think TOP much OF many
subjects and too little on the divine
ideas.

Fiske, of Baltimore, and Rev. D. ".

Force Ultimate Factor.

London, April Force will al
ways be the ultimate factor between
two nations. This is the declaration
today of the Globe, which with the
Post refuses to- grow enthusiastic over
the proposal for an o-Americau
peace agreement.
The Globe admits the propriety Of
every effort TO maintain peace between
great English speaking nations, but
says: If a question vital TO our honor
and existence as world power arises,
we are certain that many If not most
Of our people would demur placing our
interests at the disposition OF an arbIt-
ration court.
The Post is violently opposed to the
treaty but with these two exceptions,
the press is extremely friendly to the
idea.

THE ALLEGED DISAMlTERS.

Two developments in the dynalnlt'
ing case against Ortie K. McManigai,
John j. Mcnamara aud his brother,
J. W. Mcnamara, took precedence over
others in Los Angeles yesterday. The
first, sensational in the extreme, in that
it set at rest all doubts of the anthem
ITCHY of McManigal's confession to the
authorities, was his reputation Of the
labor unions of Los Angeles and his
refusal to employ an attorney.
The other was the practica! adms-
sion by the district attorney and Sheriff
Billy" Hammel that arrests Of two
Los Angeles men and two easterners
may he expected at almost any mo-
ment. Rumor for some days has been
connecting the names of two men, who
are welI-known labor leaders in Los An
geles and Indianapolis, with the blow
ing up OF the Times building, but the
officials have been fighting shy Of max.
ing any statement connecting them
with the explosion.
Now, however, that attitude has
changed and Sheriff Hammel yester-
day afternoon let the following state
ment escape him:
Watch the iailtonight, boys. When
things break they break quickly some
times.
He refused to say what he meant and
shut up like clam and declined to
talk further Oh the subject. District
Attorney Frederlcks was equally mute,
but even he yentured hint for watch
fulness on the part OF The newspaper
men gathered in Los Angeles from all
over the country.
There will be other arrests, un-
doubleday, he declared late yesterday
evening, but | cannot give you any
hint of them yet. You must wait. =
Frank Z. Baker, public prosecutor
Of indianapolis, Ind, gave the labor
unions to understand yesterday that
there would he no indictments III tie
alleged Kidnapping cases unless both
the law and the facts justified them.
He said that the steps that have been
taken by the grand jury in the lnycsu-
CATION Of matters connected with J. J.
McNamara's arrest had not been au-
thorized by him and that he would
sign no indictments Of any character
until he could superintend the lnvestl'
CATION himself and know what the teslI-
mouy is. This statement was brought
out apparently by attempts to rush
witnesses before the grand jury in The
kidnapping cases, and, if possible get
the subject before that body before the
had studied the law aud the
facts and reached conclusion as to
indictments would lie at all IN
the case.
