EXILE FOR MONARCH|STS
Troubles in Portuguese Prov.
inces-Priest Is Charged
With Treason.

LISBON, Portugal, January A.-The
government is experiencing some Difficult
ties In the provinces. At Leira, seventy.
five miles northeast of Lisbon, a Catho-
lie priest. named Faria has been arrest.
ed charged with treason in melting the
soldiers to mutiny to bring about the
restoration of the monarchy.
Many monarchists, including Journalists
have been exiled from the country.
Editors Barricade Themselves.
At Aveiro, q seaport town in the prov
ince of Beira, the editor and staff Of q
newspaper which is attacking the gov
ernment have barricaded themselves In
their building and. armed with rifles and
bombs, stand ready to resist II attacked
by troops, which have been ordered to
the scene
Great Britain, Italy and other countries
have made representations to Portugal

TO FIGHT EXTRAD|T|0N
Mexican Editor Claims Rights
to American Protection as
a Political Refugee.

Counsel for Jose Sanchez Azcona. the
Mexican editor who has been detained
several weeks in the District Jail to await
requisition papers from the Mexican gov-
ernment, will be given an opportunity
next Friday morning by Chief Justice
Clabaugh to disprove the charge of false
pretenses or fraud presented by the pa
pers sent from Mexico for his extradition
to that country.
Azcona claims the charges constitute a
subterfuge of President Diaz to secure the
return of the editor, who is said to be
opposed to the presidents methods of
government. The prisoner claims to be a
political refugee. and will strenuously op-
pose, it Is expected, the honoring of the
requisition by the chief justice.
The proceeding to be held before the
chief justice is analogous to a prelimi-
nary hearing on a criminal charge before
a committing magistrate SO far as the
amount Of proof is concerned. 1t will be
necessary for the district attorney to
satisfy the court that the papers sent
frem Mexico disclose prima facie case
Of fraud or "estoffa,' as 1t is called, in
the papers. before the requisition would
be honored by the court.
Involves Statute Of Limitations.
The date Of the alleged fraud is given
as about December, 1906, and It is ex-
pected the question of the statute of lim-
itations will play an important part at
the hearing.
In this District indictment must be
filed within three years after the crime
is committed. Should this limitation pre-
vail in the Mexican law the whole case
might go out of court on this point.
1t is expected Representative Wilson of
Pennsylvania will follow the hearing with
interest, and if it develops that the claim
of Azcona that the requisition is merely
a ruse to annoy political refugee 1t is
said Representative Wilson may ask Con-
gress to investigate the part played in
the proceedings by the Department Of
State and the Department of Justice.

and Pesti|ence Is Reported
to Be Rapidly Spreading.

TOXIC. January 24.-Grave news is re-
ceived from Peking, where, because OF
the presence of the plague. the legation
quarter has been segregated. Foreigners
have thus far escaped the infection. The
pestilence is reported as spreading rap
idly throughout Manchuria- A fact sig
nificant OF the seriousness of the situa-
ton is that the Chinese authorities have
decided to permit the Japanese officials
and ply ysicians to assume control of the
sanitary measures and to conduct the
necessary preventive campaign.
The Japanese officials in south Man.
churia have brought medical experts into
the stricken districts, and are expending
much money to check the progress of
the epidemic at Darien and Mukden. They
have met with some success at these
points, but the epidemic had obtained an
irresistible hold in Kwan- Cheng-Tze be-
fore the Japanese were allowed to take
control
There are reports that the garrison at
Tientsin has been infected.

Notwithstanding the partial defeat at

p1Ntnose to continue the fight on
Fusion and Fpsionism and have is
sued the following statement:
The straightout Democrats OF
Norfolk county desire 1t to be I'M
derstood that they have not given up
the fight.
The political principles for which
they stand are the same to-day a.
they were In tho beginning. and they
propose to go on with the struggle
until straw candidates and sham pri-
maries. Fusion and Its attendant
evils shall have been driven out OF
the politics OF the county.
While they regret the failure Of
the State Central Committee to adopt
the report o. the majority OF the
investigating committee as the most
effective way OF correcting the dis
gushing conditions existing In Nor
folk county. they submit that even
the minority report, which was adopt
ed. completely 1ustifies the fight that
they have made and puts upon their
opponents the stamp Of fraud and
deception
The charges Of the Straightouts
that fusion existed in Norfolk county;
that straw candidates were put into
Democratic primaries in the inter-
ests OF Republicans; that the high
est party authority In the county.
namely. the county committee. was

Central Committee as a whole.
In the face Of these facts, proven

satisfaction Of the public in general.
the Straightouts fail to understand
the committees action in the prem

the adoption OF the minority report
