QUIET REIGNS IN LISBON
Martial Law Cows Mob and Strike
Committee Is Under Arrest.

Lisbon, Jan. 31.-The backbone has been
virtually broken Of the general strike which
teEan on Monday in sympathy with tn"
streetcar employees Of Evora, in the province
of Alemteio This result was brought about
by the proclamation of martial law in the
capital and the arrest Of more than thou
sand Of the most active among the agta-
tors, including all the members of the
strike committee.
THE repressive influence of the military
under the command of General Carvalhal,
who had eight thousand troops under his
orders, has awed the strikers, and the
stroetcar service started again this morn
ing. Several bombs were. however, thrown
al the cars as they passed along the streets.
They were apparently not OF deadly nat
ur". however as ps casualties have been
reported
bomb was thrown tonight in one OF
the public squares, one person being killed
and two dangerously injured. The police
rsided the offices of the Federation OF
Trades Unions and found laboratory for
the manufacture of bombs.

NOT RUSHING STEEL BILL
It Is Sent to Finance Committee
Without Instructions.
From the Tribun. Bureau.


Washington, Jan. 3l.-In the first skir-
mish over the steel bill the Democrats OF
the Senate, who sought to follow che lead
OF their colleagues in the House by rail-
roading the measure through with only per-
functory consideration. met with defeat to-
day before there was even test OF strength
over the issue.
As soon as the Senate convened the Vice
President laid before II the steel bill re-
ported from the House. Senator Reed
made a motion to refer II to the Finance
Committee. with instructions to report II
back within twenty days. Objection being
raised TO the consideration Of the question
as an Interference with the debate en- the
children's bureau bill, the steel bill was
laid aside until later in the day. In the
mean time Senator Reed discovered that
the regular Republicans, several OF the In
surRents and even one or two Democrats
would oppose his motion. and rather than
face certain defeat he withdrew II and al
lowed the bill to be referred without In
structons.
The Finance Committee will make no ef.
fort 70 smother the bill. Hearings will be
given to the numerous manufacturers, most
of them with small establishments. who
would suffer far more than the big steel
companies against which the reductions
were aimed, and who are confronted with
disaster IL it becomes a law When the
hearings are ended the bill will probably
be- reported to the Senate adversely. The
real fight, in which the Republicans will be-
siege the Democratic tariff position and
accentuate the dangers of the tariff re-
vision methods to which they have resorted.
will then begin. probably resulting in pro-
longed debate.

ket for steel products and has increased
It's foreign trade in said products by nat
ural development from S,0O0OOQ, in, 1907, 10

thus created by the Steel Corporation con
sttutes upward Of 30 per cent of the total
export trade OF the United States in said

KNOX ATTACKED IN BERLIN
Secretary of State Called Bitter
Enemy of Germany.

Berlin. Jan. 31.-Thc "Kreuz IcitunG
couples with dispatch giving the SUD
stance of the speeches OF secretary
Knox and the German Ambassador
Count Won Rernstorff, at the National
Press Club in Washington last night a
half column attack upon the American
Secretary of state as one OF the most
bitter enemies of Germany in the United
States "as shown in his recent attempt
70 naugurate anti German tariff re-
prisals."
Those well informed on American
conditions" says the paper, assert that
Mr.. Knox Is chiefly responsible for the
strong anti-German trend which Is now
and then manifested in the official Amer
lean policy
The "Kreuz Zeitung" adds that the
very manner Of taking up the arpltrd-
tion treaties indicates that President
Taft and Secretary Knox are Interested
first and foremost IN concluding uI'
French and British treaties In order TO
bc able TO hold them as club over
Germany.
American comment on the visit OF the
Duke Of ConnaUght 10 New YORK, II re-
marks, shows that American statesmen
are more inclined To an alliance win
Great Britain than 10 friendship with
Germany.

morning end look for kilograms from

speech referred to above. Il sometimes hnd

| Being i'm doubt as to the attitude NJ
| the government with respect TO such a
purchase. the answer said, Messrs. Gary
and Frick went to see the President on
! November 4, 1907, and laid the situa-
| ti0n before him. The answer denied,
however, that Mcssrs. Gary and F'rick
failed to disclose To the President all the
facts bearing upon the proposed pur-
chase or the occasion for making the
Same which were pertinent thereto, or
that they made any misstatement or
misleading statement Of any sort or
character to the President regarding the
financial situation in New York or re-
garding the wishes or attitude of them-
selves or the Steel Corporation with re-
spect TO the proposed purchase"
The answer denied that the Tennessee
company was strong then or as prob
able competitor in the future Of the
Steel Corporation at the time OF its ac-
QUESTION.
In regard 10 the meetings Of the steel
manufacturers famiIiarly known as the
Gary dinners" the answer said that
there never was any attempt at those
meetings 20 reach any agreement or un-
dcrstanding with respect either TO out
put or prices nor was anything done to
suppress competition or restrain trade.
The answer Of Andrew Carnegie took
up consecutlvely the thirteen groups Of
allegations into which the governments
complaint was subdividcd. AS 10 the
allegations # tho government covering
the period before the consolidation Of
1898 1900 and the consolidation itself.
Mr.. Carnegie denied that trade was re-
strained during that time through un-
lawful pools and combinations and said
he had no knowledge to answer any al
legations which did not relate TO the

TO whether the city should operate its sub
ways. Chairman Wilcox OF the Public Ser
vice Commission said:
Il have not read the bill. but take it il Is
for the purpose OF ascertaining whether the
peoplc want the subways operated by the
city. Generally speaking. believe in mu-
nicpal ownership of the subways, such as
we have now but believe in keeping away
from municipal operation unless the city Is
unable 10 make proper terms with an op-
Grating company. think IL Is highly :m-
probable that conditions will prevail such
as to warrant q referendum"
